Frisco judge gives
order to halt strike

By AP and Reuter
SAN FRANCISCO-A superior
court judge yesterday ordered
the immediate halt of a nearly
six-day-old city workers' strike
and told police to enforce the
order.
The order came in response to
a San Francisco chamber of
commerce lawsuit asking $1 bil-
lion in damages if the walkout is
not stopped.
The strike shut down public
transportation in the city, kept
most of the students and about
half of the citys teachers at
home and allowed billions of
gallons of raw sewage to flow
untreated into San Francisco
Bay.
POLICE SAID they would not
act against the strikers until
picketers were identified, noti-
fied and ordered arrested by a
judge.
"We are not going to arrest
any peaceful pickets," said May-
or Joseph Alioto. "Any picket
who engages in violence will be
arrested . . . The court's order
is not going to solve any strike.
"I don't want anybody to get
any false hopes about the
court'sfabilitytosdeal with the
strike. Only one thing will get
this strike settled - to get
both parties back together and
stop the outrageous pollution of
jthe bay," he said.
E THE STRIKE'S effect has
been intensified by the refus-
al of nonstriking union members
to cross picket lines deployed
against nonstruck services, in-
Iclu ding transit and sewage treat-
ment facilities. Police and fire
operations have been maintain-
ed.
Commuters have been forced
back into theirncars because
buses, trolleys and cable cars
a. f 1 fw AM

are not running. Children have
been shivering in schools be-
cause janitors are on strike. Rou-
tine hospital services have been
curtailed for lack of attendants.
In Sacramento, Gov. Ronald
Reagan said the state would
take over the four sewage
plants if their raw discharge
generates a public health threat.
JOHN CROWLEY, secretary of
the San Francisco Labor Council
and chief union negotiator, said
there would be no formal com-
ment until the order is served
and studied by attorneys.
"I don't think it's a valid
order," said Victor Van Bourg,
attorney for four striking Service
Employes International Union
locals claiming 10,000 members.
The workers walked out last
Thursday, demanding a $16 mil-
lion a year pay boost and dental
care. They rejected the city's
latest $8.5 million offer earlier.

NEW YORK (41) - Government
witness Harry Sears testified
yesterday that he never asked
former Atty. Gen. John Mitchell
to "fix" financier Robert Vesco's
fraud case with the Securities
and E x c h a n g e Commis-
sion (SEC).
"Never, at any time," Sears
said at the Federal criminal con-
spiracy trial of Mitchell and for-
mer Commerce Secretary Maur-
ice Stans.
In cross-examination, Sears
was questioned over a series of
meetings he had with Mitchell on

to

fix

Vesco fraud case

behalf of Vesco, a secret $200,000
contributor to President Nixon's
1972 re-election campaign.
VESCO'S $200,000 contribution
is at the heart of the govern-
ment's case against Mitchell and
Stans, who are accused of im-
peding an SEC fraud investiga-
tion into Vesco's international fi-
nancial operations, in return for
the donation.
Sears, former Republican ma-
jority leader of the New Jersey
state Senate, was indicted with
Mitchell and Stans but was grant-

A OFFiCAA LV."S BUt LL
DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN

ed immunity ' from prosecution
for his testimony on behalf of
the government. Vesco was also
indicted but fled the country.
Under direct examination for
the better part of five days,
Sears had testified that he turn-
ed over the contribution to
Stans in Washington on April 10,
1972, then went to Mitchell's of-
fice. The two defendants had
quit their Cabinet posts to direct
Nixon's re-election campaign.
THERE WAS FURTHER tes-
timony that Sears told Mitchell
of the exchange of money and
that the latter then picked up
the telephone and arranged for
Sears to meet that same day on
Vesco's behalf with the then
SEC Chairman William Casey.
Mitchell's attorney Peter Flem-
ing asked Sears if Mitchell hadn't
promised the meeting with Casey
a month before the contribution
was made, depending only upon
when the SEC chairman was
available.
"That's correct," Sears said.
Sears was confronted with his
grand jury testimony that he had
not even discussed the cam-
paign contribution with Mitchell
April 10.
"EVEN TODAY you have no
recollection of ever telling Mr.
Mitchell at that time, April 10,
that the contribution was in
cash?" asked Fleming.
"I never told him that," re-

plied the witness. "I should qual-
ify that - I never told him that
until much later."
Sears testified that Mitchell's
first attempt to arrange a meet-
ing with Casey fell through be-
cause the SEC chairman was out
of town.
Sears said he wanted to see
Casey personally so that he
could present Vesco's side of the
story before staff investigators
of the SEC took any fraud action
against the financier.
