documentary and the broadcast at
a second showing March 23 of
comments on the program by Vice
President Spiro Agnew, CBS News
President Richard Salant and
others.
It also asked for "all film, work-
prints, outtakes, sound tape record-
ings, written scripts" and other ma-
terial used by CBS in preparing the
broadcast, whether actually aired
or not.
Stanton said the demahd for the
latter material not appearing on the
broadcast "raises an unprecedented
issue in the history of the rela-
tionship between the federai gov-
ernment and the press in his na-
tion . .
"We will respectfully decline to
furnish to the committee the out-.
takes- and other materials used in
connection with preparing the
broadcasts, but not actually broad-
cast," Stanton said.
The subpoena also directed that
CBS produce names and addresses
of all persons appearing in "The
Selling of the Pentagon" or filmed
or recorded in connection with its
preparation, except for government
officials, military personnel, net-
work employes and persons appear-
ing in government films incorporat-
ed into the program.
It asked for information on pay-
ments made by CBS to any indi-
vidual appearing in the film and
copies of any written agreements,
contracts or releases entered
into... /
Stanton's statement did not refer
specifically to the question of names
and addresses of persons appear-
ing on the telecast or possible fi-
nancial arrangements.
A CBS -spokesman said it was
likely that CBS would furnish to the
committee names and addresses of
certain persons who were featured
in interviews in the telecast.
Stanton said congressional corn-
,mittees have in the past sub-
'poenaed broadcasters' matei ials
in connection with alleged viola-1
tions of criminal law by the broad-
caster or other persons, but no such
intent was apparent in the new
subpoena.
"Rather," he said, "the sole pur-
pose of this subpoena, so far as we

CBS

program

can ascertain it, is to obtan ma-'
terials which will aid the committee
in subjecting to legislative sur-
veillance the news judgments of
CBS in preparing "The Seling of
the Pentagon.."
Meanwhile, military informa-
tion officers in the central high-
lands have been told officially
that Morley Safer, a CBS tele-
vision newsman now in Vietnam,

"is not merely covering the war,
but has an ulterior motive."
Safer, on a 10-day assignment
in Vietnam for the Columbia
Broadcasting System's "60 Min-
utes," denied any ulterior motive.
His Saigon bureau said he is do-
ing a documentary on Vietnami-
zation, the process of turning re-
sponsibility over to the S a i g o n
government.

Defendant discusses
Harrisburg Six trial

(Continued from page 1)
J. Edgar Hoover's accusations of
conspiracy to bomb and kidnap
against Berrigan and his brother
Daniel Berrigan in front of the
Senate Appropriations Commit-
tee before any indictment was
made in the case as an example of
government impropriety.
Ahmad did discuss, however, the
generalities of the case listing
three advantages each side had in
the trial.
First, for the defendants, was
their individual and collective re-
putations of integrity. "We have
consistently and militantly oppos-
ed the war in Indochina and
have broken the law when that
became necessaryn to prove our
humanity, but we have never lied
to the public," said Ahmad, "and
we challenge the government to
show one instance where we have."
He added that the defendants also
challenged the government to find
one instance in which the Pres-
dent has told the nation the truth
about the war in Indochina.
The second advantage the de-
fendants have, according to Ah-
mad, is the government's lack of
meaningful evidence in the case.
He said White House and Jus-
tice Dept. sources have made
statements to the effect that the
government feels it may well be
embarrassed when the case comes
to trial because there is not enough
evidence to prosecute.
Their third advantage, accord-
ing to Ahmad, is widespread pop-
ular support.

Ahmad cited the vague nature
of conspiracy laws as the gov-
ernment's most distinct advantage.
"These laws are highly undem-
ocratic, placing the burden of
proof on the defendants," said Ah-
mad.
Ahmad saw the location of the
trial as a boon to the govern-
ment's case, describing Harrisburg
as "one of these bible belt towns
where the long-hairs are hated
less than the Catholics." Of the
six defendants, three are priests,
one is a nun and another is a lay-
Catholic.
Ahmad feels that the power of
suggestion will be a tremendous
advantage to the government's
case. "Even though I knew that I
was completely innocent of the
charges when I first heard of them,
there was a doubt in the back of
my mind about others named in
the indictment whom I had never
met."
Speaking on the war in Indo-
china, Ahmad stressed the need
of preventing the American people
from forgetting the war as the
Nixon administration wishes. He
described Nixon's Vietnamiz ,tion
policy as "a bluff" that only
amounts to a technological escala-
tion of the war.
"Every battalion of U.S. troops

(Continued from page 1)
He adds that he has received in-
formation indicating that black
admissions were running ahead of
the schedule set up by the Uni-
versity.
Knauss says the major problem
will be providing services for these
new students in the fields of coun-
seling and career planning.
Fabre expresses doubts, h o w -
ever, about the caliber of services
to be provided. He explains that
because of cutbacks in the Uni-
versity budget, funds to provide
financial aid for the new students
might possibly come from money
reserved for supportive services.
Fleming says it is hard to tell
at this time whether cutbacks will
be necessary to provide funds for
financial aid. He insists, however,
that the proposed financial a i d
funds will be provided.
Money plays an important role
ni the admissions drive. Financ-
ial Aids Director Ronald Brown
says the financial aid program
has been expanded to give aid to
most of the new students.
He adds that additional services
will be provided to deal with the
"unique kinds of financial prob-
lems of disadvantaged students."
In 1973-74, administrators say,
an estimated $3.29 million will
be required to support a total un-
dergraduate enrollment of 1,920
and $5.44 million for a total of
1,280 black graduate students.
These proposed enrollment figures
would satisfy the 10 per cent goal.
Along with $450,000 for sup-
portive services and recruiting, the
University will have to come up
with approximately $9.17 million
that year and annually thereafter
to maintain the commitment to
10 per cent black enrollment.
And University officials expect
the University's share of this cost
to rise from 40 per cent now to
60 per cent, largely because of dif-
ficulties in getting more funds
from federal and state sources.
Services for the incoming black
students is also a major concern.
"" "ie"" CLIP AND SAVE .......

Maddox has suggested a single,
unit designed to deal with the1
problems of minority students.
The unit would be called the
Black Student Center, but would
provide services for all minority
students. The center would offer
counseling, tutoring, and career
planning services.
The faculty of the center would
be drawn from the faculties of
other schools and departments
around the University.
The first of several components
of the center would be a new of-
fice of special services to admin-
ister the center, communicate
with the schools and colleges of
the University, and coordinate in-
formation and activities for in-
state pre-college blacks.
The office would also estab-
lish a Detroit branch to offer fi-
nancial aid, counseling, orienta-
tion, and study improvement serv-
ices.
Another component of the cent-
er would be a media-production
unit to produce materials for
orientation and training. Another
would plan and coordinate summer
orientation activities.
The plan, however, faces op-
position by at least some of the
University's executive officers. Re-
gardless of the outcome of the
proposal, the Coalition for the
Use of Learning Skills (CULS)

and the Center for Afro-Ameri-
can and African Studies will con-
tinue to offer some of these serv-
ices.
Maddox reports that the plan
was presented to the executive of-
ficers about a month ago, and that
he has heard nothing about it
since.
These actions were brought
by a strike that effectively closed
down many of the operations of
the University for 13 days. Or-
ganized by black students and
supported by members of the stu-
dent body and faculty, the strike
resulted in literary college attend-
ance dropping as low as 25 per
cent at times.
Fleming and the Regents fin-
ally agreed to the 10 per cent en-
rollment commitment, and the
strike was ended. The other de-
mands were rejected.
In the past year some action
has been taken to implement the
BAM agreement. Whether, how-
ever, the commitment will be
reached two years from now re-
mains to be seen.
Sumning up his feelings about
the University's activities s i n c e
last spring, Fabre says: "T h e
strike was as successful as y o u
make it. The University will give
you what you want, and not a
damn bit more. On that level the
next battle will have to be fought."

fusal to fix a date for total U.S.
withdrawal. The President said he
expects to be held accountable by
American voters if he fails to re-
deem his 1968 campaign pledge to
end U.S. involvement in Vietnam.
In Paris yesterday, the Vietna-
mese Communists derided Presi-
dent Nixon's latest troop with-
drawal program and cold shoul-
deredahis call for seriousnegotia-
tions.
The North Vietnamese and Viet
Cong response was to reiterate
demands for a complete with-
drawal of U.S. troops from South
Vietnam.
The Communists reacted quick-
ly to Nixon's speech Wednesday
night in which he claimed success
for Vietnamization, announced a
slight increase in monthly U.S.
troop withdrawals and gave as-
surance that "American involve-
ment in this war is coming to an
end."

The North Vietnamese said Nix-
on is "persisting in telling lies to
the American people."
Meanwhile, American battlefield
deaths climbed sharply to 88 last
week in the Indochina war, thef
highest weekly toll in the last nine
months, the U.S. Command an-
nounced yesterday.

Ahmad urged the audience to at-I
tend anti-war demonstrations in
Washington in late April and early
May. "People say we've demon-
strated for five years, what's the
use. I say the Vietnamese have
been fighting for 27 years should
they just give up," said Ahmad.
He said that while he did not op-
pose violence in all cases, violence
in the U.S. "only played into the
government's hand.
