ABOUT 250 PRISONERS at the Federal House of Detention
in lower Manhattan seized the upper two floors of the three story
,ail yesterday night and held two civilian engineers hostage, po-
lice reported.
Helmeted city policemen, some equipped with tear gas guns and
bullet-proof vests, cordoned off the area. Police said the inmates were
unarmed.
Inmates on the second floor knocked out windows and threw out
burning bedsheets.
The seizure at first involved only 15 prisoners, then spread to al-
most the entire detention population of 250, police said.
FBI DIRECTOR J. Edgar Hoover yesterday admitted that
his agents had questioned rvlatives of missing American service-
men about a peace group that relays mail to and from North
Vietnamese prison compounds.
Hoover confirmed that the Committee of Liaison with Families of,
Servicemen Detained in North Vietnam had been investigated to de-
termine possible security violations, but denied that prosecution of
the group and harassment of the servicemen's relatives, had resulted.
However, Mrs. George Clarke, of Hampton, Va., said that an
agent last fall warned her to avoid dealing with the Committee, which
has been the only regular channel of POW mail.

SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. liP -- President Nixon ordered Lt.
William L. Calley Jr. to be released from imprisonment yester-
day pending review of his conviction for murders at My Lai.
Acting in the wake of a White House announcement that
it was getting thousands of letters and wires running 100 to 1
for clemency, the President personally telephoned the chief
of staff to free Galley from the stockade at Ft. Benning, Ga.
Presidential Press Secretary Ronald Ziegler said Nixon
acted as President, rather than as commander-in-chief, add;-
ing "This is not a legal step, it was taken at the President's
discretion."
Defense lawyers had pressed for freedom for the 27-year-
old Calley pending outcome of appeal of his senitence, but they

Talbott. T h e President's in-

the Army there by surprise.
"It's the first case I can re-

this offense has been released,"
Isaid a retired colonel who spent 15
yars as a mlitary provostmr

asked that his name not be used.
Ziegler saId the chief executive

Galley, under Nixon's action,
will resume life in his quarters at
Ft. Benning where he lived during

ians at My Lai, South Vietnam, in
1968.
'The same jury sentenced him

GENERAL LUIS CHAVEZ ended his bloodless one-day re-
bellion against the Ecuadorian government yesterday.
The abortive revolt, prompted by resentment against the dicta-
torship of President Velasco Ibarra and his nephew, Defense Minister
Jorge Velascon, collapsed when Army units failed to support it.
MOSCOW GP .- Two foreign
Communist leaders challenged the
Brezhnev doctine yesterday in the
independence and sovereignty for
all Communist parties.
Enrico Berlinguer, No. 2 man of
the Italian party-the largest - in
the West-insisted on "full inde-
pendence for every party and every
country."
INicoiae Ceausescu, first secre-
tary of the Romanian .Communist
party, called for a "new type of
relations"' among socialist coun-
tries based on "independence and
and noninterference in internal af-
fairs."
An unwritten part of the con-
gress agenda, but no less important
because of it, is justification of the
Soviet-led occupation of Czecho-
slovakia.
This is the first party congress
since the invasion, with its over-
throw of reformer Alexander Dub-
cek and his supporters of "social-
ism with a human face."
ITaking up Brezhnev's line that
the occupation of Czechoslovakia
was the "rendering of international
assistance," Czechoslovakia partyi
leader Gustav Husak -declared:
"this international help savel our'
country from civil war, counter-
revolution and he.lped preserve the
gains of socialism."
After Husak finished to the wild
applause of more than 5,000 Soviet
delegates and foreign guests, Ber-
linguer expressed his independ-
ence.
"we do not identify ourselves
with each and every choice that
other socialist countries and, gen-
erally speaking every Comnmunist
party has made and may make
within the limits of its own respon-
sibility."

AN OHIO GRAND JURY yesterday returned 201 indictments, on
charges ranging from robbery to first degree murder, against 46
cycle gang members involved in a Cleveland brawl at a motorcycle
show that left 5 cyclists dead and 23 injured.
Fourteen cyclists were indicted by the Cuyahoga County Grand Jury
for first degree murder, assault, and ridt, and thirty-two others on lesser
charges, such as carrying a concealed weapon and resisting arrest.
Cleveland police, who arrested 87 rampaging cyclists during the I
melee at the Polish Women's Hall in Cleveland, charged a local chapter
of the Hell's Angels with attacking the rival Breed bikers, but Angel
spokesmen emphatically denied the charge.
