A PRISON RIOT and escape attempt at the San Joaquin
County Jail was put down last night by about 200 sheriff's
deputies.
The violence followed a two-hour demonstration by the prisoners
protesting conditions in the prison, court procedures, and 'what was
described as inadequate legal aid.
Trouble apparently broke out when sheriff's deputies attempted
to bring into court, about 100 prisoners who had refused to make
court appearances.
ATTORNEYS FOR ROBERT WILLIAMS of the University's
Center for Chinese Studies were granted a 30 day adjournment
in his arraignment on a ten year-old kidnap charge.
Williams' lawyers are seeking to block an order signed by Gov-{
ernor William Milliken, and upheld by the state Supreme Court
that he be extradited to North Carolina to face trial.
Williams was unavailable for comment, and is believed to have
fled to Canada.
NORTHERN IRELAND police yesterday conducted raids re-
sulting in the arrest of fifteen suspected members of the outlawed
Irish Republican Army (IRA).
Meanwhile Prime Minister Brian Faulkner told Parliament that
the army will blow up some border roads and further tighten border
security into Northern Ireland to cut off guerrilla infiltration.
The arrests bring to 65 the number of persons already known
to be held in unlimited detention without trial.

STRIKES by thousands of coal miners and longshoremen
have triggered lay-offs in a number of other industries across
the nationa.
Steel workers in West Virginia, and railroad workers in several
states are reportedly hard hit by a 20 state bituminous coal 'strike.
A continuing illegal strike by longshoremen in defiance of the
Taft-Hartley back-to-work order is threatening to cause Alabama
soybean growers losses of disasterous proportions.
PRESIDENT NIXON announced yesterday the United States
will move against Japan and other textile exporting nations if no
significant progress toward agreement is made by Friday.
What action the United States might take was not specified,
but, reports by officials of four Asian countries all have said that the
United States has threatened to impose quotas on non-cotton textile
imports.
Japan is seeking a compromise whereby the U.S. would lift the
10 per cent surcharge on imports if Japan agrees to restrict its non-
cotton textiles over a three-year period.
A U.S. HELICOPTER, accompanied by a heavy air escort,
flew into Cambodia yesterday to release a North Vietnamese
war prisoner.
According to Washington sources, the release came in response
to the freeing last Friday of Staff Sgt. John Sexton who carried
an oral message proposing the exchange.
Although informed sources report the North Vietnamese soldier
released yesterday carried a message saying the U.S. would encourage
further exchanges, U.S. officials discouraged hopes that such an
exchange might be repeated. °
GOVERNMENT FOOD MONITORS announced new controls
yesterday on a suspected cancer causing hormone (DES) found
in livestock and immediately drew criticism that! the controls
are inadequate.
The Agriculture Department said yesterday they are increasing
the length of time farmers must stop using the hormone before ani-
mals are sent to market.
Sen. William Proxmire (D-Wis.), charged, however that the
regulations depend too much upon "the voluntary compliance of
those who are using this cancer causing hormone," he said "The
solution, is to prohibit the DES in any cattle feed."

WASHINGTON (R) - While taking stands on a number
of important issues - including treatment of prisoners 'at
Attica, and strikes by federal workers - the Supreme Court
yesterday once again refused to rule on the legality of the
Vietnam war.
As in the past the court rejected by a 5-2 vote a challenge
brought on the behalf of two soldiers, by the American Civil
Liberties Union (ACLU).
The ACLU suit contended that soldiers could not be
sent to Vietnam without a Congressional declaration of war.

argued that by appropriating
funds, Congress had given im-
plicit approval of the fighting.
In two separate rulings, t h e
court upheld the prohibition on
strikes by government employees.
The first, brought by the Unit-
ed Federation of Postal Clerks con-
tended that the government should
at least be required to prove a
worker is essential before pro-
hibiting him from striking.
The other action was brought
by New York City municipal work-
ers testing a no-strike provision of
New York State law.
The court dismissed both cases
without hearing.
In another decision the court,
over the strong opposition of Jus-
tice William Douglas, declined to
halt the interrogation of prison-
ers at Attica.
Lawyers for a group of inmates
contended that the prisoners were
subjected to "a continuing pat-
tern of assaults and threats," and
that they were denied the c o n-
stitutional right to have an at-
torney or to remain silent.
The court also agreed to hear a
school desegregation case brought
fby the : Justice Department and
the NAACP against a number of
Southern school districts.
The suit claims districts have
been splintered in order to pre-
vent concentrations of blacks in
any one school.
In another civil rights related
decision,' the Nixon administra-
tion's "Philadelphia Plan" cleared
its final hurdle when the court
rejected an appeal against it by
a group of contractors.
The plan requires contractors in
federally aided projects involving
over $500,000 to hire a specified
percentage of blacks and o t h e r
minorities.
The court also agreed to hold
a hearing on a federal law pro-
aibiting the interstate transporta-
tion of obscene materials.
The law was declared unconsti-
tutional last October by a federal
judge in Wisconsin.
The judge ruled that since inter-
state shipment did not necessarily
involve "pandering" obscene ma-
terials, the law was not proper.

Bayh quits
battle for
President
WASHINGTON (P) - S e n.
Birch Bayh of Indiana withdrew
yesterday from the crowded field
for the Democratic presidential
nomination, saying he wished to
be at the side of his wife during
"a lengthy period of recuperation"
from surgery last week for breast
cancer.
Several of his Senate colleagues
looked on as Bayh read a state-
ment at a news conference say-
ing that, because of his wife s
illness, he was dropping plans to
formally announce his candidacy
for president.
"It is time for me to reconsider
my own priorities," Bayh s a i d.
"I must put first things first."
He declined to state a prefer-
ence among the other Democratic
presidential possibilities, saying,
"I can enthusiastically support any
one of them."
Referring to his wife's operation
last Friday, the 43-year-old sena-
tor said, "We have every reason to
believe the operation was a suc-
cess." But he added it would re-
quire a lengthy period of recup-
eration.
"During this time I want to be
at her side," he.' added. "There-
fore, I am not a candidate for the
Democratic nomination."
Bayh had been'planning to run
in several of next spring's pri-
maries, most notably the March
14 Florida primary which shapes
up as the most important e a r ly
test. He had made a number of
campaign trips to Florida.
The Indiana senator emerged
as a presidential possibility in 1970
after he played a major role in
the Senate rejection of two of
President Nixon's Supreme Court
nominees, Judge Clement Hayns-
worth and Harrold Carswell.

Dean Acheson dies

SCIODRIE INA t E"I

WASHINGTON 01) - Dean
Acheson, secretary of state dur-
ing the most turbulent years
just after World War II and ar-
chitect of much of U.S. Cold
War strategy, died last night.
The 78-year old Acheson
served as secretary of state un-
der President Harry Truman
from 1949 to 1953, the years of.
the Korean War, European re-
construction, the adolescence of
the North Atlantic Treaty Or-
ganization, the Japanese peace
treaty and the beginning of the
so-called McCarthy era.
After leaving the State De-
partment, Acheson served in an
advisory capacity to the admin-
istrations of President John
Kernedy and Lyndon Johnson.
But he spent most of his time
in a far flung and lucrative

Washington law practice.
The cause of Acheson's death
is as yet undetermined.
Acheson was famous as sec-
retary of state, for taking a
tough stand against what he
considered to be an aggressive
expanionist policy on the part
of the Soviet Union.
He implemented the strategy
of alliances ringing the Soviet
Union and its Eastern European
allies, including the formation
of NATO, still the key defense
pact for the United States and
Western Europe.
At the same time, Acheson
promoted the continuation and
strengthening of the Marshall
Plan, the economic recovery
program put forth by his pre-
decessor at State.
