Eldent under fire
District Judge Sandorf Elden has run into some opposition
* lately, much of it seemingly stemming from his candidacy for
circuit judge. The latest move against Elden-the man who
struck down the $5 pot law a month ago-comes in the form of
a law suit filed by local 'attorney Arthur Carpenter. Carpenter
charges that Elden released his decision on the pot law without
hearing the arguments of the defendants in the case and then
advertised his decision in a series of newspaper ads, allegedly
violating the judicial canon of ethics. The most bizarre accusa-
tion is that Elden himself put a local youth up to painting
marijuana leaves all over his house and driveway to gain
sympathy from voters. Elden could not be reached for comment
last night, but his wife said Carpenter "can't possibly believe"
his own accusations.
today's action reporter
The egotists who run this column ran into a golden oppor-
tunity for some self-serving prose yesterday afternoon when UAC
t Homecoming Committee Chairman John Tonkovich walked into
The Daily to complain that he could not obtain a phone booth
for Friday's Diag phone booth "stuff-in." Well, thought the
today gnomes, if Channel 7 can do it, so can we, and we did.
Swinging into action in true Action Reporter style, today con-
tacted Michigan Bell's Detroit office and soon won the promise
of a phone booth for Friday's big event. Said the man at the
phone company: "It's a genuine booth and it conforms to all
the accepted standards for booth stuffing." The only hitch: the
booth has no phone.
Art school vandalism
Art school students are upset, to say the least, at a recent
rash of vandalism directed against students' paintings. Over the
last few days, canvases have been attacked with spray paint
and slashed with razor blades. Security has been increased at
the school, but, one student claims, it means only that the
security guard is in the building for "ten minutes a night instead
of five."
Walk-a-thon scheduled
"Due to last Sunday's uncooperative environment," the
Ecology Center announced yesterday, the walk-a-thon has been
postponed until Sunday, Oct. 29 at 8:30 a.m. The walk, aimed
at raising money for the Ecology Center, starts at the Farmers
Market on Detroit St.

In our report yesterday on a press conference held by Pierre
Salinger we stated that Salinger prophesized a Vietnam settle-
ment within 48-72 hours. In fact, Salinger said he foresaw a
cease-fire within that time span, going on to say later that such
a :cease-fire would only indicate the start of negotiations to-
wards a peace settlement.
McGovern returns
DETROIT Sen. George McGovern will make his sixth
campaign visit to the state today and Sen. Edward Kennedy
(D-Mass.) will be at his side for part of the trip. The Demo-
cratic presidential candidate will appear at the Oakland Mall
shopping center, accompanied by Kennedy and State Atty. Gen.
Frank Kelley, who is running for the U.S. Senate.
Campaign dollars
WASHINGTON-Sen. Robert Griffin (R-Mich.) raised more
than three times as much money up to September as did Mich-
igan Democratic Atty. Gen. Frank Kelley in their race for the
U.S. Senate, Common Cause reported today. The National "cit-
izen's lobby" said its summary of the Michigan race, part of
its Campaign Monitoring Project, revealed Griffin funds of
$671,346 as of Aug. 31, compared to Kelley's $195,443. Leading
the contribution parade for Griffin, a member of the powerful
Senate Finance Committee, were employes of Chrysler Corp.
$31,088, Ford Motor Co. $18,949 and Dow Chemical Co. $13,800,
the lobby said. He also received more than $15,000 from indi-
viduals who listed "banking" or "finance" as their occupations.
The Republican ruckus
The latest chapter in the fast-growing tale of alleged Repub-
lican-funded spying and disruption of Democratic campaigns
was announced by the Tampa Times yesterday. This part of the
story involves an aide to a Republican state legislative candi-
date who says she was hired during the Florida presidential
primary to pose as a volunteer worker for Sen. Edmund Muskie
(D-Maine) and spy on the Democrats. Patricia Griffin, 26, who
confessed to the Tampa paper, said she was hired by Robert
Benz, 25, who has been linked to Donald Segretti, the alleged
chief organizer of the alleged political sabotage. The plot thickens.
Newsman freed
NEWARK, N.J.-Newsman Peter Bridge was released from
jail yesterday after serving 21 days for refusing to answer a
grand jury's questions about a story he wrote. Bridge, the first
newsman jailed since the U.S. Supreme Court ruled journalists
may not withhold information from grand juries, was uncon-
ditionally released at 4 p.m. EDT by New Jersey Superior Court
Judge James Guiliano. Under the terms of his sentence, Bridge
was to be realeased at the expiration of the term of the Essex
County grand jury that had questioned him. Guiliano said he
would dismiss the grand jury today, but said, "Mr. Bridge is
released now, so he won't have to stay in jail overnight."

refuses to
elaborate
From Wire Service Reports
The White House said yes-
terday "some progress" has
been made towards a nego-
tiated settlement in Indo-
china but refused to elabo-
rate.
Press Secretary Ronald Zieg-
ler cautioned reporters "against
excessive speculation" at a news
conference. The conference was
held following an hour-long meet-
ing between President Nixon, Sec-
retary of State William Rogers
and Henry Kissinger, national se-
curity advisor. Kissinger returned
Monday after a five-day meeting
with South Vietnamese President
Nguyen Van Thieu.
Ziegler repeatedly repulsed re-
porters' efforts to draw out expla-
nation of his progress statement.
He refused to comment on
Thieu's charges yesterday that
North Vietnamese peace proposals
are "dark schemes aimed at tak-
ing over South Vietnam."
Ziegler said he was "not pre-
pared to comment on the negotia-
tions that have been or are taking
place."
Ziegler first declined to indicate
whether the progress had been
achieved in Saigon or during Kis-
singer's earlier private meetings
in Paris with chief North Vietna-
mese representatives. Later, he
suggested he was talking about
both meetings.
Kissinger remained unavailable
to reporters but might emerge
tomorrow or Friday to brief re-
porters on late developments, ac-
cording -to Ziegler.
Reporters asked Ziegler why the
White House refused to discuss the.
negotiations openly when Thieu
and North Vietnamese Premier HENR
Than Van Dong have made state- meeting
ments.
"We have an agreement with
North Vietnam not to discuss the A
negotiations," he replied, "and we e-

States opposition to
tripartite government
By The Associated Press
South Vietnamese President Nguyen Van Thieu said last
night he has not agreed to any cease-fire in Indochina.
Thieu said a cease-fire could come "in the near future"-
but only if North Vietnam withdraws all its troops.
He said any truce must cover all Indochina and be inter-
nationally supervised.
Thieu also rejected a tripartite coalition government for
South Vietnam, as proposed by the communists. He said his
country's political future, based on free elections, could be
negotiated only between Saigon and the communist-le.
National Liberation Front, known as the Viet Cong.
"There may be a cease-fire in the near future because
the communists have request-
ed it," he said in a nationaljT
broadcast. "They agree to it,
and even beg for it, because
they are weak militarily."

ce plans
by President Nixon in a national
address last January, the plan
specifies that:
-There will be a general cease-
fire in Indochina, which will be-
gin when an agreement is signed;
-Within six months of an
agreement, "there will be a total
withdrawal from South Vietnam
of all U:S. forces;" and
-Prisoners will be exchanged,
and a new presidential election
will be held. President Thieu will
resign a month in advance of the
election, leaving interim respon-
sibility to the Chairman of the
Senate.
The proposals of the PRG and
the North Vietnamese, on the
other hand-which were present-
ed in July, 1971, and have re-
mained much the same since-
call for a resolution of political
matters before any cease-fire is
declared.
The plan says U.S. support to
the Thieu regime must come to
an end, and "the political, social
and religious forces in South Viet-
nam aspiring to peace and na-
tional concord will form in Sai-
gon a new administration de-
daring itself for peace, neutral-
ity, and democracy.''
Mostsignificantly, it says, "A
cease-fire will be observed...
as soon as a government of na-
tional concord is formed."
Whereas the U.S. plan stipu-
lates-though never openly states
-that North Vietnamese forces
must leave South Vietnam, the
opposite side has always main-
tained that Vietnam, as one coun-
try, cannot be arbitrarily divided
into two for military purposes.

posed agreement have included
