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.

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. Two! guilty in Watergate affair; verdict reached in 90 minutes I 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. See DOUGLAS, Page 10 Rot1i jailed'. 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 Daily Photo by ROLFE TESSEM JUSTICE WILLIAM DOUGLAS, yesterday, speaks with law students after Hill Aud. address. PEACE TEAM IMMOBILE: Conflict continues 1IT! By AP and Reuters 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 Local school se retaries in vi( 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.

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.

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.

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. Police Lt.

"For professionals, they did a few dumb things, and that was my salvation." When his captors asked how to escape undetected through the store's back door, Pastor said that it could be done simply by removing the bars from the door and using.keys in the right locks.
