AIR CONDITIONED news briefs By The Associated Press A MILITARY JUDGE yesterday denied a defense request for a directed verdict of acquittal on all murder charges against My Lai defendant Capt. Ernest Medina. "There is some substantive evidence as to each and every charge and specification," ruled Col. Kenneth Howard, the military judge, in denying a defense motion. Defense lawyer F. Lee Bailey requested the motion on grounds the government had not proved its case and has denied Medina, 35,. Montrose, Colo., due process of law. In a related development, a U.S. District Court judge in Atlanta ruled that the federal government may prosecute, for criminal con- tempt a witness who refused to testify in Medina's trial. Medina, 35, is charged with the murder of 102 Vietnamese civilians during an infantry assault on My Lai three and a half years ago. U.S. SENATOR WINSTON PROUTY, (R-Vt.), a veteran of 20 years in Congress, died yesterday at the age of 65. Prouty, who entered the House of Representatives in 1951 and went on to the Senate in 1959, died of gastric cancer at New England Deaconess Hospital in Boston. He had undergone surgery 16 days earlier for a stomach ulcer that physicians said was malig- nant. Prouty was known as a moderate Republican and sometimes clashed with leaders of his party. While generally supporting the administration's Vietnam policy, he also urged consideration of an internationally supervised ceasefire in Vietnam. PRESIDENT NGUYEN VAN THIEU will step down if he re- ceives less than 50 per cent of the ballots actually cast in South Vietnam's presidential election, informed sources reported yes- terday. It was not clear on what basis the percentage would be figured, - on the total number of registered voters or on the number of ballots cast. Nor was it clear how a citizen could vote against the lone ticket. With the recent withdrawal of Vice President Nguyen Cao Ky, Thieu is the only remaining presidential candidate. * * * HOWARD HAWKINS, president of RCA Global Communica- tions, says the telecommunications administration of mainland China has agreed to a direct telegraph connection to the United States. Hawkins said the administration had agreed to telegraph serv- ice between RCA facilities in San Francisco and Shanghai. RCA had requested the connection July 16, following Presi- dent Nixon's announcement he would visit Peking next year. The request asked for reactivation of direct service, as well as for temporary expansion of facilities to handle government and press communications during Nixon's visit. CONFLICT OVER TAIN Govt. police to as unrest continues PONTIAC, Mich. (N) - A federal judge ordered the chief U.S. Marshal at Detroit yesterday to begin an immediate investigation of local enforcement of court-ordered school desegregation in Pontiac. U.S. District Court Judge Damon Keith ordered the in- vestigation in response to a joint request by the Pontiac Board of Education and the NAACP, which initiated the de- segregation suit.

Atitca prison rioteris confer on hostages ATTICA, N.Y. UP) - Rioting convicts breached an unde- clared overnight truce at fire-scarred Attica state prison yesterday, and fought from their last remaining cellblock bastion to seize an adjoining one. They were beaten back bys tear gas. They then resumed negotiations with State Corrections Commissioner Russell G. Oswald over the release of some 30 hostages being held for a second day, raising their demands to total amnesty, plus freedom and guaranteed transporta- tion to political asylum in "a non-imperialistic country." plan were arraigned yesterday before U.S. Magistrate P a u I Komives. The men, including Robert Miles, former grand dragon of the Michigan Klan, were released on $10,000 sure- ;y bond each. No pleas werE entered. The Klansmen are charged with conspiring to blow up 10 empty buses in a school bus parking lot Aug. 30. The Justice Department has announced a grand jury willI investigate the bombing. The NAACP and the school board, acting together, a s k e d Keith for an injunction barring potentially disorderly gatherings on school grounds and for t h e dispatch of U.S. marshals to Pon- tiac, a city of 83,000. NAACP attorney Elbert Hatch- ett called for a large force of marshals in Pontiac or perhaps a federal takeover of the Pontiac Police Department, claiming t h e- local police have "failed miser- ably to discharge their responsi- bilities." Pontiac Police Chief William Hanger said the NAACP charges were untrue. "We don't feel we have responded softly or impro- perly," the chief said. The Pontiac Police Officers As- sociation announced yesterday it would give $300 to the National Action Group to fight the court busing order. NAACP attorney Elbert Hatchett said the police association's ac- tion was "typical" and indicated a "method of discrimination in law enforcement 'against blacks." Nixon plan accepted by Meany WASHINGTON (/P) - President Nixon got a qualified promise of cooperation yesterday from AFL- CIO President George Meany, a vocal critic of Nixon's economic planning, on steps to follow the current wage-price freeze. Nixon met for two hours with Meany and seven other union rep- resentatives, plus an array of top administration officials, to hear organized labor's views on a wage- price stabilization program that will take effect when the freeze expires at midnight Nov. 13. Emerging from the White House,Meany told newsmen that he had told Nixon, "in effect, we would cooperate with any system that is equitable and fair." Before the meeting, Meany said unions would insist that profits as well as wages and prices be re- strained during what the adminis- tration calls the "Phase 2" period to follow the freeze. Nixon's meeting with the la- bor chiefs was described by Ron- ald L. Ziegler, White House Press Secretary as "consultation at its best." Leonard Woodcock, president of the United Auto Workers said it is obvious that there will have to be further sessions between govern- ment and labor before post-freeze plans are agreed upon. Ziegler indicated future meet- ings were planned, Ziegler said an administration blueprint for "Phase 2" will be an- nounced well in advance of Nov. 13 "so the proper mechanism can be put in place" and so the public generally will "know what will happen." Both labor and government sources reported that the union leaders did most of the talking at the meeting. "We made our position clear," said Meany. But he emphasized that the President gave no clue as to his own thinking on potential steps to follow the freeze. Woodcock was asked if he was convinced the administration was sincere in seeking the views of la- bor leaders on economic policy. "I think I am, yes," he replied. He reported - and Ziegler agreed - that all parties to the discussion were convinced it would be neither useful nor practical to seek a no-strike pledge from la- bor during Phase 2. Nixon announced Thursday that the current 90-day wage-price freeze will not be extended but in- stead will be replaced by an un- specified "system of wage and price stabilization." U.S.-Japanese talks stalled WASHINGTON (P) - Secretary' of State William Rogers said yes- terday that failure of Japan to co- sponsor a move aimed at keep- ing Nationalist China in the Unit-I ed Nations would harm its chan-{ ces for success. Japan has declined to say yes or no so far to a U.S. plea for cosponsorship of a resolution aimed at keeping Nationalist China in the United Nations while also allowing a seat for the Peo- ple's Republic of China. At a joint news conference with Rogers, following a two-nation an- nual cabinet - level meeting, Ja- pan's Foreign Minister Takeo Fu-I kuda said Japan favors keeping# Nationalist China in the United Nations but, because of domestic political opposition in Tokyo, hasa yet to decide whether it will go so far as to formally cosponsor the E U. N. move with the United States. Rogers said lack of Japanese cosponsorship "would have a de- trimental effect on the prospects for success" of the effort at the U. N. because "it would appear that Japan is not wholeheartedly for the resolution." He noted that Japan's policy on China is given much weight by other countries who are aware of China's importance as a major neighbor of Japan. The U. S. strategy at the U. N. General Assembly session starting later this month is to gain approv- al of a measure which would re- quire a two-thirds vote for any ouster of Nationalist China. The China issue dominated questions at the joint news conference but most of the two-day meeting was devoted to the deep economic is- sues straining relations between Japan and the United States. Both Rogers and Fukudal sounded a strong note of harmony as far as general U.S. - Japanese ties and desires for future rela- tionships are concerned. They also made clear that differences re- main. Japan's heavy surplus in itsj trade with the United States was a major factor leading to Nixon's drastic Aug. 15 measures aimed at curbing the U. S. deficit. A joint communique reiterated U. S. desires for an upvaluing of the yen and Japan's request for an early end to the special U.S. 10 per cent import surcharges. Neither side yielded on these questions. Future international ex- change rates are slated for multi- country negotiations under the In- ternational Monetary Fund. The 10 per cent surcharge, U. S. of- ficials said, will remain until the U. S. balance of payments pic- ture brightens. Thirty to 32 hostages, most ofj them guards, a few of them civil- ian workshop foremen, were seized Thursday at the peak of the up- rising, when an estimated 1,200 convicts ran wild. State officials said the number dwindled to about: 500 "hard core" rebels by yester- day. The hostages reportedly were in good condition. The rioters were armed with pipes, baseball bats, homemade knives and stored tear gas guns.z Except for the abortive attempt? to capture another cellblock, the prisoners seemed more inclined yesterday to negotiate than to re- sume the rampaging and arson that marked the riot's early hours. Attica has 2,254 inmates, 85 per cent of them black or Puerto Ri- can, and racial pressures were1 cited as a chief underlying factor in the riot.t "We work under slave condi-f tions here," a black inmate told a newsman.r Another black man said white unmates were favored for the, better jobs in prison shops. In presenting demands to Os-t Wald, a black convict read a state-r merit terming the riot the result of "the most unmitigated oppressionI wrought by the racist administra- tion network of this prison." Robert Miles School Board attorney Robert Manley said he did not agree that the local police have been unwill- ing to enforce the order, but said federal action was needed to stop disruptions or desegregation by "unlawful hooliganism" and "ir- rational raving mobs of fools." Keith said that after he hears the report of the U.S. Marshal on Tuesday, he will consider sending a large force of marshals in to maintain order. The judge said that since Tues- day, he has received a number of telephone calls from parents who said they were trying to obey the court desegregation order but "the local police stand by and allow people to prohibit us." i FREEF WORSHIP FIRST CHURCH OF CHRIST, SCIENTIST 1833 Washtenaw Ave. SUNDAY 10:30 a.m.-Worship Services.
