Militancy up among prisoners

WASHINGTON (/P) - Politically aware
and increasingly militant, a new breed of
prisoner is challenging the right of prison
authorities to subject him to privation
and brutality.
A prison revolt at Attica, N.Y., and
what officials call an escape attempt in
San Quentin, Calif., have left 48 persons
dead in the past month. In California pri-
sons, officials report, the seven guards
killed so far this year outnumber the total
for the entire period 1953-70.
At the root of prison unrest is a cor-
rection system that, in the judgment of
federal authorities, is failing to rehabili-
tate criminals or protect the public.
Subhuman squalor in cells built 50 or
more years ago, sadistic brutality at the
hands of keepers or fellow convicts, inade-

quate rehabilitation facilities or none at
all: these are the lot of prisoners across
the country in a system that one federal
law enforcement official has called "a
national disgrace" and President Nixon
himself has condemned as "a convincing
case of failure."
Building on and adding to grievances
among all convicts is a new factor, a
growing conviction, particularly among
blacks who make up a far greater propor-
tion of inmate populations than they do
of the total population, that imprison-
ment is political repression rather than
punishment for a crime.
"There are still some blacks here who
consider themselves criminals - but not
many," wrote the late George Jackson in
his book "Soledad Brother."

Whether or not prisoners are develop-
ing, as radical California lawyer Fay
Stender contends, "a consciousness of
themselves as a convicted class," the ef-
fects of a new militance are being felt in
prisons around the country.
Leighton Dudley, Maryland's deputy
secretary for correctional services said,
"instead of going along with the system,
they're fighting it - and they're getting
support from the inside and the out-
side."
On the inside, such groups as the Black
Muslims and the Black Panthers are
working to cre'ate an "increased aware-
ness" among black prisoners.
Outside prison walls there are a number
of organizations working with prisoners.

THE NIXON ADMINISTRATION treatment of the press threat-
ens to stifle thorough, incisive coverage of the government by
newsmen, Congress was told yesterday.
Testifying before the Senate subcommittee on constitutional rights,
Harding Bancroft, executive vice-president, and general council for
the New York Times, said attempted suppression by the government
of the Pentagon Papers "will deter reporters from conducting the
kinds of thorough investigations which responsible journalism re-
quires."
A White House spokesman yesterday denied administration ani-
mosity towards the media saying the press was overly sensitive to
criticism.

PAN AMERICAN AND TRANS WORLD, the two U.S. airlines

the U.S. government to take quick action to avert a general trans-

The two airlines are asking that the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB)
notify the eWst German government that recent cuts in the trans-'
alantic rate for Lufthansa German Airlines are unacceptable under
the U.S.-German bilateral air agreement.
Lufthansa refused to go along with North Atlantic fare levels set
by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and the two
airlines are claiming its action will set off a disastrous air fare com-
petition on the run.

LONDON R) - Three prime ministers ended a meeting
on embattled Northern Ireland yesterday with a condemna-
tion of violence and two significant moves toward curbing
the province's two years of bloodshed.
Britain's Edward Heath was host at the two-day summit
to Northern Ireland's Brian Faulkner and the Irish republic's
Jack Lynch.
It was the first such meeting since the Irish Partition in
1925 and was called in the hope of foiling the guerrilla war
waged by the outlawed Irish
Republican Army (IRA)
against Northern Ireland's ss
role as part of the United 0

A work stoppage by inmates
moved through a second day at a
Massachusetts penitentiary yes-
terday while in Kansas prison
cooks ended an unexplained job
boycott that cost 900 fellow in-
mates a day's meals.
Authorities said most of the 764
inmates at the state prison in
Norfolk, Mass., were refusing to
do all but critical work to press
demands for better food, medical
treatment, training for guards, an
end to mail censorship and am-
nesty for protesters.
Theodore Ristaine, acing super-
intendent, began meetings with
representatives of 11 inmate re-
form committees yesterday morn-
ing. He said the session would
continue until a solution was
reached.
Officials at the Kansas State
Penitentiary at Lansing said
about 100 inmate cooks refused to
work Monday, but gave no reason
for their action.
