Police, FBI1 seek 0 missing 0 student Gunman abandons her car near Milwaukee By JONATHAN MILLER and DAN BIDDLE A 20-year-old University student whose car was involved in a bullet punctuated police chase in a Northside Milwaukee suburb early yesterday morning has become the subject of an interstate search by police and FBI agents. The missing student, Melanie Fahr of Troy, Mich., was last reported seen early Tuesday morning by a companion she dropped off at a rooming house near central campus. The only clue investigators have to her present whereabouts is her yellow 1970 Chevelle automobile, which was aban- doned by an unidentified gunman early yesterday in the Milwaukee suburb of Shorewood. According to Shorewood police, Fahr's automobile was pulled over by Patrol- man John Plumb for a traffic violation at 12:20 a.m. yesterday. As Plumb approached the car, an un- identified gunman jumped out and ran. Plumb fired a warning shot and the gunman returned the fire. Police gave chase t but the gunman, who did not match Fahr's description according to officers, escaped into the darkness. There were not clues indicating where Fahr might be. Local police are working on the theory that Fahr was probably abducted and her automobile stolen. Their main con- cern seems to be locating Fahr and bringing her to safety. "We know nothing adverse about her," Detective Lieutenant Calvin Hicks of the city police force said last night. "She is a good student from a good family and is emotionally stable. We can establish no ties to Wisconsin or any intentions she may have had of going there," Hicks added. Fahr's father Raymond last night said he last saw his daughter over the week- Senat( end and she had given no indication that she was planning a trip to Wisconsin. . Fahr, a three-year resident of Stock- well Hall and a junior oceanography ma- jor in the college of engineering, is de- scribed by her friends as not the type of girl to become willingly involved with a gunman. Stockwell Building director Richard Rosen said that Fahr has been working at the Stockwell front desk and has been "a responsible worker . . . what I know of her is positive." Fahr is described at 6' 1", 180 lbs, with shoulder-length brown hair, brown eyes and glasses. Jpanel THIS 1971 PICTURE of missing stu- dent Melanie Fahr was released by police last night. JJUI&. 1GJ1 llsl . ITT head involved in Chile plot WASHINGTON (P - ITT board chairman arold Ge-. neen offered to set up a CIA- controlled fund in 1970 to block the election of Salvador Allende as president of Chile, a top official of the U. S. spy agency has testified. The official, William Broe, who headed clandestine operations in Latin America for the CIA, said he rejected the "substantial" of- fer, made to him by Geneen at a meeting July 16, 1970, in a Wash- ington hotel. However, according to a trans- cript of Broe's testimony to the Senate Foreign RelationsSubcom- mittee Tuesday, the CIA fficial explored with an ITT vice presi- dent two months later the possi- bility of bringing economic insta- bility to the country. The purpose, he indicated, would be to influ- ence a number of Christian Dem- ocratic congressmen not to vote for the Marxist candidate. The subcommittee chairman, Frank Church (D-Ida.), told news- men that Broe's discussions with Senior Vice President Edward Gerrity, were with the "knowl- edge and concurrence of his su- perior at CIA. They included Ri- chard Helms, then the agency's director and the now U. S. am- bassador to Turkey, he said. The disclosure yesterday of Broe's secret testimony to the subcommittee - the first ever by a CIA official under oath - came on the fifth day of the panel's in- auirv into allegations that Interna- tional Telephone & Telegranh Co. attempted to influence U. S. poli- cv in Chile in order to head off {Allene's election. Thecoman v's investments in the Chile Telenhone Co. were tak- en over by the Chilean govern- ment in 1971, a year after the Chilean congress certified Allen- de's election. Broe said the meeting with Ge- neen in a Sheraton - Carlton hotel room had been suggst'd to Helms by John McCone. ITT director who preceded He] as head of the CIA. Gerrity told the subcommittee last week that ITT had been will- ing to contribute $1 million to a low-cost housing program in Chile. Church, however, told newsmen "at no time did Geneen refer to a constructive use of the funds." Asked about the apparent con- flict between Broe's account and accounts given by Gerrity and other ITT officials, Church said he would not "pass judgment" on the possibility of perjury until Ge- neen apears before the subcom- mittee Monday. "When Mr. Geneen apnears," the senator said, "we will read him Mr. Broe's testimony on these See ITT, Page 7 hears McCord on Wate rgate WASHINGTON (R) - The Senate's special Watergate investigating committee yesterday reported it received a great deal of information during iour-and-a-half hours of closed-door questioning of James McCord Jr. McCord, one of seven men found guilty of breaking into Democratic party headquarters last year, appeared at the hearing to investigate allegations of political espionage dur- ing the 1972 presidential election campaign. The committee then asked McCord to appear- before it again next Wednesday. Sen. Howard Baker, Jr., (R-Tenn.), speaking for the committee, said that McCord had been cooperative but de- clined to disclose the substance of any of his testimony., McCord was literally tight- lipped, his mouth firmly shut as he let his lawyer, Bernard Fen- sterwald, ward off questions from L astgroup reporters after the hearing at which he testified under oath. In appearances before the com- mittee's counsel last week, Mc- P Os Cord was reported to have iden- tified others who he involved in the plot to Democrats. Sen.

CHARTER REVOCATION SOUGHT: Ciri Courtearigs on Wr li By DANIEL BLUGERMAN Hearings on a suit filed by University Attorney Roderick Daane charging Write-on- Inc. with "subverting the education- al process and encouraging in- tellectual dishonesty and cheat- ing" began yesterday before Judge Edward Deake in Wash- tenaw County Circuit Court.

Weicker said that the commit- tee's questioning of McCord was technically still going on, with the hearing to resume next week. Howard Hunt, Jr., another of those awaiting sentencing for last June's break-in and bugging at Democratic headquarters in the Watergate complex here, was re- ported earlier in the day to have refused to answer questions of a federal grand jury. U. S. District Judge John Sirica was told that Hunt, after being closeted briefly with the grand jury in its continuing investiga- tion, had invoked his constitution- al protection against self-incrimi- nation. A hearing was scheduled to give government lawyers an opportun- ity to request immunity for Hunt for any testimony he might give. He had spent more than an hour before the grand jury Tuesday. Gdon Liddy, another Water- gate defendant, refused Monday to answer grand jury questions. Liddy, a former White House aideand counsel for thetCommit- tee to Re-elect the President, is the only one of the seven Watergate defendants to be sentenced so far. CLARK AIR BASE (J') - The last regular group of U. S. war prisoners flies away from Hanoi's jails today to join 81 others here who already are looking forward to a trip home at the weekend. The remaining 67 prisoners on the turnover list will fly in from Hanoi on two C141 StarLifter hos- pital jets. They had been billed as the last Americans. in Commu- nist custody, but the Viet Cong an- nounced yesterday in Saigon one more U. S. prisoner will be turned over. He was identified only as Whe- me, from Virginia, a captive since 1969. Officials said his release is being arranged for near the Me- kong Delta village where he was captured. He will be the 588th American war prisoner turned over by the North Vietnamese, Viet Cong and Pathet Lao since the releases be- gan Feb. 12. According to Com- munist count, he is the last. Operation Homecoming officials in the Philippines said they ex- pect all the regular returning pri- soners to get their medical checks and debriefing sessions behind them in time for flights to the United States on Sunday or Mon- day. Many in the 67-man group due today are crewmen of B52 bomb- ers downed last December when See LAST, Page 7 Write-on's charter. At the hearing yesterday, Daane was asked by Write-on to show cause for his suit. But, according to Art Harger, Write-on board chairman, the hearing will not continue until Daane responds to Write-on's motion for immediate dismis- sal. Harger said his lawyer has raised a multitude of legal points and until all are re- sponded to by Daane it is un- clear what action the court will take. In addition to the motion for dismissal, Write-on is urging the identification of the University and Wayne State University as the plaintiffs and for their names to appear on the suit. Harger said he is challenging Daane with not filing a defini- tive brief. He says Daane has not clearly stated onwhat spe- cific grounds he is suing. Write-on has stopped its op- eration in Ann Arbor on the ad- vice of its lawyer, Pat Albert. According to Albert, Harger said, the suit is only against the Ann Arbor office. Harger added that he holds as extremely questionable the pro- secution's investigative methods. According to the former man- ager of the Ann Arbor office, Paul Fisher, a law student at the University, went into the Write-on office and stole papers which were presumably to be used in the suit. Daane has since named Fish- er as one of his investigators in the suit. According to Harger, Encyclo- pedia Brittanica does thersame type of custom research as Write-on, and that there is a company in Ann Arbor called Research Incorporated that does briefs for lawyers. He concluded "it is such an acceptable thing today that peo- ple have researchdavailable to them that . . . in short all I can say is that I will fight it extreme- i Rent control Editor's Note: This is the first in a series of profiles of the candidates in Monday's city council and mayoral election races. By GORDON ATCHESON The race for the Second Ward City Council has shaped up as a battle between a candidate who believes change can come through -the two-party system and another who rejects both major parties as ineffective. Democratic candidate Carol Jones, a self-proclaimed "radical Democrat," says change can best be accom- plished by one of the major political parties. tops Second Ward issues to "financial responsibility in city hall." In the Second Ward 75 per cent of the 13,000 registered voters are students. The electorate can "overwhelmingly be characterized as tenants living either in dorms or apartments," according to City Clerk Harold Saunders. The new Second Ward stretches from Catherine to Hill Street and includes all of the large University residence halls except South and West Quads. North Campus housing and several commercial apartment complexes have also been included in the ward. Not surprisingly, all three candidates have made rent ores, but I fully support rent control if it proves workable," adds Jones. Shoichet proposes City Council force the University tp commit some of its land for low cost housing sites. He claims such a program would help relieve the housing shortage in the city, thereby driving down rents. Jones claims the plan is faulty because "the city can do no more than put pressure on the University." "The construction of more apartments is the best way to lower housing prices, rent control cannot be the an- swer," claims Crawford, who is a landlord. I 22 ............... .
