the government and police.
Defense opening statements charging the trial was po-

Supreme Court Justice John M. Murtagh.
"This is strictly a penal charge," Murtagh said. "There
is nothing remotely resembling a political trial here."
"I insist on bringing reality to the court," replied defense
attorney Sanford Katz.
Murtagh warned Katz that he might be in contempt of

Dozens of plainclothesmen min-
gled in the crowds, as army heli-
copters lifted troops into the
cemetery where Laporte was to be
buried, to prevent the public from
entering.
Security men guarded guests, in-
cluding Prime Minister Elliot Tru-
deau, while the hunt for the assas-
sins continued.
A spoKesman for Quebec's pro-
vincial police reported 343 per-
sons under arrest in the four-day
roundup of suspected members of
the separatist Quebec Liberation
Front, which kignaped Laporte
and Cross.
The arrests were made under
the War Measures Act, invoked by
Trudeau last Friday to combat the
separatist movement.
Police have staged 1,628 raids
under the Act, which allows se-
curity forces to search without
warrant and hold suspects up to
a week without a charge.
Meanwhile, according to the
Associated Press, the situation re-
turned to normal on most Que-
bec campuses following wide-
spread protests against the appli-
cation of the Act.
About 800 students from the
University of Montreal faculties of
letters and social sciences voted
overwhelmingly Monday to return
to classes, despite speeches from
the more militant students urg-
ing a two-day boycott. No inci-
deots were reported.
Before leaving Ottawa, Trudeau
told the House of Commons he
would consider a request to out-

Canadian

at 'U' rally
By BOB SCHREINER
Over 100 persons gathered in
the Fishbowl area of Mason Hall
yesterday to protest implemonta-
tion of the War Measures Act in
Quebec. where authorities a r e
searching for the assassins of La-
bor Minister Pierre LaPorte.
Several campus groups, includ-
ing the Young Socialist Alliance
(YSA), International Socialists
(IS), Ann Arbor Labor Committee
and Students for a Democratic
Society, sponsored the rally to sup-
port demands ;for immediate re-
storation of full civil; liberties in
Canada, release of all political
prisoners, and reopening of a 11
schools closed in Quebec.
At least 343 persons have been
arrested in Montreal under t h e
War Measures Act since it was
invoked by Prime Minister Pierre
Trudeau last Friday.
The act thrust Canada into a
state of martial law, providing the
government with emergency pow-
ers to censor publications, make
immediate arrests and tightly con-
trol the national economy.
Several speakers addressed those
present at the rally, denouncing
Trudeau's action as 'repressive'.
A YSA member called the War
Measures Act "convenient repres-
sion of all leftist groups in Can-
ada."
He read a newspaper article in
which . the United Front for
Liberty, an ad-.hoc coalition of
trade unionists, students and sep-
aratists in Quebec, asked for sup-
port from the American left
against the measures taken "to
deny civil liberties."
"The terrorism of the Canad-
ian government has taken the left
completely by surprise," said IS
member Marty McLaughlin.
"One small terrorist group put
the whole left in danger. T h is
should bear strong implications
for the U.S. " he said "The Tru-

The group's first concern, according to Gold-
stein is to arouse support from students and the
community on the child care issue.

to try to organize something in a month. The
action has to be something audacious."

establishment of a panel which
would review the decisions of the
judge. However, while the faculty
members favor a panel composed
of equal numbers of students and
faculty in all cases, several of the
student members support a major-
ity of students on panels presiding
over student cases, and a majority
of faculty in faculty cases.
Meanwhile, the two regents sit-
ting on the committee, Lawrence
Lindemer (R-Stockbridge) and
Rober't Nederlander (D-D'etroit)
have expressed objec.tions to a
review panel, favoring the selec-
tion of a sole judge from outside
the University community.
