Corona convicted FAIRFIELD, California - Juan Corona was convicted yes- terday of 25 counts of first-degree murder in what has been described as the biggest mass-murder case in modern American history. Corona, a Mexican citizen who had worked as a farm labor contractor, was convicted of murdering 25 migrant farm workers whose hacked and stabbed bodies were found during the summer of 1971 buried in shallow graves in fruit orchards. The jury of 10 men and two women deliberated for seven days after the 14-week trial. Blackmail motive suggested WASHINGTON-The prosecutor in the Watergate trial said yesterday that blackmail may have been part of the reason for wiretaps planted by Republican agents in Democratic headquar- ters. Asst. U.S. Atty. Earl Silbert, arguing in appeals court for admission of wiretap evidence in the district court trial of James McCord Jr. and Gordon Liddy, was asked by one of the judges: "Is the government interested in whether this information would be used to compromise these people?" That is a euphemism for blackmail. Said Silbert: "We think is it highly relevant to lay a factual foundation so that we can suggest that is what they were interested in. Why else would a wiretapper doing some political wiretapping be interested in information that was per- sonal and of a private and confidential nature?" Leary escorted home RIVERSIDE, California-Dr. Timothy. Leary, former Har- vard lecturer and "drug advocate" returned to the United States yesterday escorted by two agents from the U. S. narcotics bu- reau. In addition to the drug smuggling and prison escape charges he facts, California authorities yesterday filed a 76 mil- lion dollar back tax claim against Leary's cult, the Brotherhood of Eternal Love. 46 members of the Brotherhood, including Leary were indicted here last year on smuggling and conspiracy charges. Leary, however, was in Switzerland at the time after escaping from a California prison in ,September, 1970, while serving a one to 10-year prison sentence for possession of drugs. He was spotted by federal narcotics agents when he turned up in Kabul, Afghanistan this week. Afghanistan authorities placed him under house arrest while the state department organized his extradition. Breakfast in bed NEW HAVEN, Conn.-About 900 Yale freshmen, bleary-eyed and book-ridden on the last day of final exams, were given a special treat yesterday-breakfast in bed, complete with cigars for the men and red carnations for the women. Dining hall work- ers and some 60 student volunteers teamed to deliver juice, scrambled eggs, home fries, sausage, bagels, cream cheese and coffee to the freshman rooms. Freshman John Andrews of Con- cord, Mass., said he originated the idea while mulling over the question: "Who's the most uptight people around here?" The answer, he said, was evident: freshmen at exam time. William Hickey Jr., an assistant director of dining halls, said the idea was welcomed by the Yale administration because "we're in- terested in this monotony-breaking thing."

The weather picture We all knew the mild temperatures couldn't last-and we were right. Today's forecast calls for rain and showers early in the day. The rest of the day will be mostly cloudy with falling temperatures. Tonight will be cloudy and colder with temperatures in the low 30s. It may even snow. U.S., Hanoi set date for final p Peace attempt By AP and Reutert KEY BISCAYNE, FLA.-The White House announced yesterday that Presidential Advisor Henry Kissinger will re- turn to Paris Tuesday to complete the text of a peace agree- ment with North Vietnam. White House Press Secretary Ron Ziegler in a terse state- ment said, "Dr. Kissinger will resume private meetings -with (North Vietnamese) Special Adviser Le Duc Tho and Minister Xuan Thuy on January 23 for the purposes of completing the text of an agreement." Ziegler stressed that his announcement had been agreed upon jointly with Hanoi-indicating that both sides felt they had now, reached the point where the final language of a peace agreement could be drawn up. Observers felt confident that to- j.

PESC SERIES-: -AU,7 community roles debated By CHXRLES STEIN With the topic, "The Univer- sity and the Washtenaw Com- munity" as their focus, a group of panelists met last night for the third and concluding debate in the series of "State of the University Debates" being spon- sored this week by the Program for Educational and S o c i a l Change (PESC). The series has provided a unique opportunity for critics of the University to publicly chal- lenge University officials. The three sessions have also demon- strated the wide range of opin- ions thattare held on the subject of the institution's social role. Jack Hamilton, director of University relations, took the po- sition that the University really has no major committment to the surrounding community. "The funds that support this University," Hamilton argued 'come equally from the state and federal government. The University then in no way can be considered a county institu- tion." This position of social neutrali- ty is similar to the one taken by other University officials, in pre- vious debates, particularly Vice- president for Academic Affairs Allan Smith. The position was also strongly contested by many of last night's panelists. Hank Bryant of the Black Economic Development League, argued that the University has actually had a number of nega- tive social effects on the sur- rounding community. Bryant criticized the Univer- sity for "depressing the wages of the entire area," citing fig- ures which showed that persons holding the same job in Washte- naw County were paid less than their counterparts in nearby Wayne County. The role of University Hospital was another area covered in the discussion, and the positions ex- pressed on this subject, in many ways represented the dichotomy of views held by the panelist. "This county has the highest per capita ratio of doctors, den- tists and psychiatrists in the country," commented public health Prof. Irene Butter. "But it isn't reflected in the health care people in this county receive." Butter added that a majority of the cases handled by Univer- sity Hospital involved people from outside the county. Hamilton defended this con- dition, commenting that the hos- pital was not meant to be a county facility. Psychology Prof. Dick Mann, a frequent critic of the Univer- sity, directed most of his com- ments to what he called "the academic failures of the Univer- sity. "Students are taught and en- couraged to develop a sense of remoteness, isolation, even ar- rogance towards the commun- ity," Mann stated. "They be- come conditioned to the point where they can walk through poverty and not even notice it." Echoing a similar statement, City Councilman William Col- burn, warned that many Univer- sity professors had, in the course of their work, come to view com- munity people as mere subjects for their experiments. See PROFESSOR, Page 8 day's announcement meant Nixon had secured the approval of South Vietnamese President Nguyen Van Thieu for the final terms of the peace plan drawn up by the United States and North Vietnam. Ziegler refused to predict how long Kissinger's round of talks with the North Vietnamese would last, but the general expectation here was that peace would be pro- claimed within the next two weeks. Government sources in Saigon said Thieu and his National Se- curity Council had agreed to thed terms of a ceasefire. They saidd it would be signed within the nextt two weeks and could be in effecta shortly before the Lunar NewV Year, starting Feb. 3.a However, Hanoi's announcement differed from the U.S. statement in referring to "the agreement" rather than "an agreement." The North Vietnamese have demanded that the United States sign with-a out major revisions the agreementd drafted in October.P Major parts of the Octoberv draft were unacceptable to the Sai-t gon government, and Ziegler's reference to "an agreement" ap-h peared to indicate a break witht the October text could be expect-i ed. Asked later about the differencet in language, Ziegler said, "The in-a tention of both is the same. Thereh is no substantive difference." Communist officials in Paris could not be reached for comment. Ziegler was asked about specu- lation that the United States ande North Vietnam might declare a ceasefire in Vietnam before Nix-r on's inauguration Saturday for hisF second term. "There has been an awful lot of speculation along these lines,"t he said. "I am not prepared tot address that speculation as I havet not been prepared to address anyI speculation, right or wrong. "President Nixon's objective ist to end the fighting and restore thet peace in Vietnam as soon as pos- sible by- means of a negotiatedp settlement," he said. His use of the words "end thet fighting" was seen as ap indi- cation that Nixon had decided not to declare a unilateral cease-firet until final agreement is reached.' Ziegler said Nixon spoke byt telephone for about 40 minutes with Kissinger today and had been re- ceiving reports from his special envoy to Southeast Asia, Gen- eral Alexander Haig. Haig, who is explaining the sta- tus of the peace negotiations to Southeast Asian government lead- ers, will return Saturday to Sai- gon, where he has already hadf several hours of talks with Presi- dent Thieu.f Diplomatic sources here said they believed Haig had sent op- timistic reports to Nixon on< Thieu's willingness to accept the terms of a ceasefire and peace1 agreements.t Kissinger, who returned to Wash- ington after six days of talks with the North Vietnamese in Paris last week and discussions with President Nixon here, will leave Monday for Paris. Govt. calls troops for inaugural WASHINGTON ()-Although the Nixon administration said yester- day it does not anticipate trouble during the President's inaugura- tion tomorrow, some 2,000 soldiers and Marines have been -ordered to Washington to help police contain any antiwar demonstrations. "The only thing we're concerned about is the potential for violence, said a spokesperson for the Justice Department which asked the Pent- agon to bring in the troops. "We don't see any. We're taking the people at their word that there will be only peaceful demonstra- tions." Antiwar-demonstration organizers have said they expect from 20,000 to 50,000 protesters at the Wash- ington grounds. Several other groups are planning smaller ac- tions, some ,of which may involve attempts at disrupting the parade between the Capitol and the White House. The Justice Department spokes= person said the government expect- ed between 10,000 and 30,000 dem- onstrators but refused to say who made the estimates. Atty. Gen. Richard Kleindienst has held meetings the past three weeks involving all segments of the government concerned with tomorrow's parade. The last was held Wednesday after which the Pentagon received a letter, re- quired by law, to bring the mili- tary in to stand by in case of trouble. The riot-trained troops include Marines from Camp Lejeune, N.C., and Army paratroopers and mili- tary police from Ft. Bragg, N.C., and Ft. Meade, Md. A Pentagon spokesperson said there has been no decision to com- mit the troops and it is hoped that they will not have to be used. Some 7,000 military personnel are involved in ceremonial activities but will hive nothing to do with disturbances or crowd control. At Nixon's inaugural in 1969, some 20,000 soldiers and police, including out-of-town e x p e r t s known for their ability to spot pick- pockets, con men and psychopaths, formed the tightest security ever for the inauguration of an Ameri- can president. The soldiers, however, remained on stand by. "The threat of disorder and vio- lence in 1969 was much greater than this one," said the Justice Department spokesperson. A District of Columbia Police Department spokesperson said no out-of-town specialists have been asked to attend tomorrow's cere- monies. Maasab develops flu vaccine; testing needed before release By LOIS EITZEN D aily Science writer According to medical sources, the only safe insurance from this year's flu epidemic is to flee from civilization. But for those braver souls that remain, there may yet be some relief. Although it is still in the experi- mental stage, scientists at the Uni- versity's School of Public Health have recently developed a vaccine for the London flu. Its development may speed up the production of vaccines for other types of flu as well. "Our results are encouraging," reports epidemiology Prof. H. F. Maasab, who developed the vac- cine. "We hope to have a license for general use of the vaccine in two years." The new vaccine is currently be- ing tested for safety by labora- tories of the Michigan Department of Public Health in Lansing. After it is approved, the vaccine will be returned to the School of Public Health here. It will then be tested for effectiveness in human volun- teers, under the direction of Prof. Fred Davenport, chairman of the Department of Epidemiology. First isolated in England in 1972, the London flu is a variety of theI more common Hong Kong flu. Pub- lic health officials have warned that half of Michigan's population will succumb to the flu, which is most dangerous to the elderly and to those with serious respiratory ailments. At present, there is no process called genetic recombina- tion. He used an attenuated form' of the Hong Kong virus, which is genetically similar to the London variety, as his base. He then cross- ed the weakened Hong Kong va- riety with a normal London virus, and thus developed a London strain with the weakened Hong Kong properties. Production of the right kind of hybrid virus involved repeated testing, since the combination of properties between the two strains of virus was fairly random in every trial. Maasab and his co-workers used mice and ferrets (weasel-like animals which succumb to human types of influenza) to test each new hybrid for its ability to infect. To insure that a new hybrid was attenuated, they also used genetic "markers" visible in the test tube. For example, only the attenuated virus could be killed by acid. Each type of virus had a unique colony size. Maasab found temperature sen- sitivity the most valuable marker. Attenuated hybrids are destroyed at high temperatures. Maasab pointed out that this enables the vaccine to grow in the nose, where temperatures are relatively low but not in the throat and chest, where flu viruses do their greatest damage. Maasab and his co-workers were the first to devise a genetic method of attenuating the flu virus. "The practical applications of this method are our own," Maasab said. "But the theoretical basis See PROFESSOR, Page 8 ECONOMIC REPORT 'U' prof. cites China s advances By ZACHARY SCHILLER ture cultural and economic contacts be- Economics Prof. Alexander Eckstein tween the two countries would increase. said at a press conference yesterday that He added that his group's proposals for China is "committed to ipiprovement of cultural projects, including a U.
