Green goes to court
Controversial Prof. Mark Green, denied tenure by the chem-
istry department, plans to have his day in court. Green, who
raised hairs on the backs of department bigwigs by showing
antiwar slides to his classes, says "I either want to get tenure,
or find out the real reason why it was denied." Green is now
searching for a lawyer to represent him, and will also appeal
his case to LSA Dean Frank Rhodes and the LSA Executive Com-
mittee-the last resort within the University.
Alexander selected
The Human Rights Party overwhelmingly elected local party
member Robert Alexander as their statewide organizer. Alex-
ander, who lost in a bid for the citywide coordinating position,
received almost three times as many votes for the state post
as did his closest competitor.

Ripley's special
TALLAHASSEE, Fla.-Columnist Jack Anderson, who has
been on the journalistic skids since the Eagleton Fiasco, is at-
tempting a comeback. This time he claims the Pentagon has top
secret papers which predict final, military victory in Vietnam-
for the North Vietnamese. He claims the papers, which he lifted
from the Joint Chiefs of Staff, forsee a swift end to any sem-
blance of a cease-fire, and an even quicker end to the Thieu
regime.
Fly me, Im Dwight
CHICAGO-It was announced yesterday that Dwight Chapin,
former Nixon aide who was recently implicated in the Water-
gate scandal, will join United Air Lines as director of market
planning. Chapin, who many observers feel was forced to leave
the Nixon inner circle, thus completes his move from one fly-
by-night operation to another.
Recall blues
WASHINGTON-The Nixon administration, in what is ap-
parently a rare slap in the face to the automotive industry, has
asked that automakers foot the bill for fixing vehicles recalled
because of safety defects. Nixon's request would not apply to
cars over six years old.
Sore losers dept.
WASHINGTON-Apparently scandalized by the Supreme
Court's recent decision which cleared the way for women to
have abortions during the first six months of pregnancy, Rep.
Lawrence Hogan (R-Md.) has proposed a constitutional amend-
ment to bar most abortions. Hogan called the high court "Morally
bankrupt" for its decision. When the ruling was made, he says,
"I had very serious thoughts of resigning from Congress." Think
again.

Douglas
advocates
change
By ROBERT BARKIN
An appreciative and admiring
crowd filled Hill Aud. to its 4000
seat capacity yesterday to hear
Supreme Court Justice William
Douglas deliver a speech entitled
"Future of Our Political System."
Part of a lecture series called
Future Worlds, the Douglas address
was consistent with the liberal and
sometimes radical approach to po-
litical problems that has character-
ized the justice's opinions for over
30 years.
"The time for the more moderate
political solutions has now passed,"
the 73 year old Douglas stated.
"We are at a critical stage."
"But our problems , cannot be
solved by new laws," he added. "It
will take a grassroots movement."
"My generation is rather bank-
rupt politically-rolling along on
their golden gravy train," he jested
to the crowd. "Some of you will
hop on it too."
Douglas then moved to the prob-
lems of our governmental system.
" We are in an age of submissive-
ness-marching in line to the tune
of one drummer," he said.

O lowing
conviction
WASHINGTON U)-Two for-
mer officials of President Nix-
on's re-election committee
were convicted yesterday of
conspiracy, burglary and wire-
tapping of Democratic party
headquarters in the Watergate
political-espionage case.
The jury of eight women and
four men took less than 90 minutes
to convict G. Gordon Liddy and
James McCord Jr.-respectively
the general counsel and security
chief of the Committee for the Re-
election of the President.
McCord was one of five men ar-
rested in the Watergate office
building quarters of the Democra-
tic National Committee last June
17. Liddy was described. by the
prosecution as the boss of the
operation, a contention accepted
by the jury in convicting him of
conspiracy.
Liddy was convicted of con-
spiracy and two counts each of
second-degree burglary, attempt-
ing to intercept oral and wire com-
munications and actually intercept-
ing conversations.
McCord was convicted on those
same charges, plus two counts of
possessing bugging equipment.
Chief U.S. District Court Judge
John Sirica, who presided over the
trial, ordered Liddy's and McCord's
bond revoked and the men were

SAIGON - Fighting blazed
across Vietnam yesterday, while
the International Control Com-
mission (ICC) sat hamstrung in
Saigon, watching the continuing
violations of the ceasefire.
Each side blamed the other for
constant breaches of the cease-
fire, which officially began here
Sunday morning.
The fighting has blocked many
of South Vietnam's major high-
ways, including some of the
road lifelines into Saigon, cut-
ting food supplies and sending
prices soaring by up to 100 per
cent.
Informed sources said the gov-
ernment planned to introduce
rationing and emergency airlifts
into the city if the supply situa-
tion deteriorated further.
The four nations chosen to po-
lice the Vietnam ceasefire -
Canada, Hungary, Indonesia and
Poland - waited powerlessly in
Saigon.
They held meetings Monday
and yesterday, but a spokesman
said no progress could be made
towards arranging the supervi-
sion of the ceasefire until the
warring parties - North Viet-
nam and Viet Cong, South Viet-
nam and the United States -
had finalized their own cease-
fire arrangements.
Meanwhile the United States
continued the bombing of Laos
for the third day since the sign-
ing of the Vietnam ceasefire
agreement on Saturday, the de-
fense department announced.
A South Vietnamese military
spokesman said today that

fighting in Vietnam remained
widespread and heavy.
The number of new attacks
dropped from 225 on the first
night of the ceasefire to 146
Monday night, but this did not
mean the offensive was dying
out. What it meant, military
sources said, was that that Viet-
Cong and North Vietnamese had
fully committed themselves
across the country and were now
concentrating on holding what
they had won.
The largest new outbreaks of
fighting were reported in the cen-
tral highlands along the only
road link between the major ci-
ties of Pleiku and Kotitum.
During the first two days after
the ceasefire, South Vietnamese
government casualties have been
296 killed and 1,070 wounded in
battles across the country, ac-
cording to initial reports avail-
able today. A South Vietnamese
command spokesman said 1,761
communists had been killed and
92 taken prisoner in the same
period.
Speaking to a French television
interviewer, Nguyen Thi Binh -
foreign minister of the Viet
Cong's Provisional Revolutionary
Government - blamed "reac-
tionary forces" within the Sai-
gon. regime for the continuing
clashes.

'aid to Model Cities
By GORDON ATCHESON
City Council last night approved temporary financial aid to con-
tinue the local Model Cities Program after federal funds run out this
Friday.
Currently Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
grants provide most funds for Model Cities' annual $1 million budget.
The federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB) froze a HUD
grant expected to finance the program this year.
Consequently, council approved $72,000 to continue the Model Cities
Program through March 4. The resolution was passed by a 7-3, vote.
Councilmen William Colburn (R-Third Ward), Richard Hadler (R-
Fourth Ward), and Bruce Benner (R-Fourth Ward) cast the dissenting
votes.
City Administrator Guy Larcom indicated the temporary funding
will give the city time to plan a course of action if the HUD grant
does not become available.

WASHINGTON -- Sen. John
Stennis (D-Miss) 71 - year - old
chairman of the Senate Armed
Services Committee, was shot
and seriously wounded outside
his home here last night in an
apparent robbery attempt, police
said.
Stennis was hit twice-in the
chest and thigh-but an aide de-
scribed his condition as stable
as he underwent emergency
surgery at Walter Reed Army
Medical Center.
Police said they were search-
nis entered the operating theater,
doctors said they expected it
would be at least another hour
before the surgery was com-
pleted.
Stennis, who has been in the
Senate since 1947, is a strong
supporter of the military. He
fought for support of the Nixon
administration's Vietnam w a r
policy as fiercely as he opposed
federal civil-rights legislation.
Stennis was shot a short time
after leaving a National Guard
reception near the Capitol.
