New trial- ordered for
Ellsberg
'Life' magazine ceases
publication on Dec. 29
By AP and UPI
LOS ANGELES-U.S. District
Court Judge Matt Byrne said yes-
terday he intendedtodeclare a
mistrial in the Pentagon Papers
case against Daniel Ellsberg and
dismiss the jury already selected
in the case and pick a new one.
Byrne's action came after the
9th Circuit Court of Appeal in San
Francisco handed down an opinion
saying, "It appears to us as fool-
ish to proceed to trial in the case
with the jury selected four months
ago.,"
Byrne, who ruled last week that
the jurors could still -be fair and
impartial, said he still believes that
tis so..
"However, in view of the lan-
guage in the order of the Court of
Appeals.. . . I believe the Court
of Appeals is advising that there is
a substantial danger that a case
tried by this jury ,might be dis-
turbed on appeal . .
The court's action meant that
both,'sides will have to-- go. back to
the start i a trial which began
with jury selection last July, al-
though none of its members heard
a single' word of testimony about
the alleged theft of the secret gov-
ernment documents because of a
series of appeals.
Attorneys for Ellsberg and his
codefendant, Anthony Russo, assur-
ed the court that they were making
an unconditional offer of waiving,
any appeal on grounds of double
jeopardy should the court ' grant
their motion for a mistrial and'dis-
missal of the jury..
"The language of the appeals
court opinion puts into gravest
doubt, before the trial actually
starts, a proceeding which will cost
the taxpayers at least a million
dollars," said H, Peter Young,-
Russo's attorney. "We think the
opinion foreshadows an ultimate
appellate opinion holding of re-
versible error in the event of a
conviction."
Russo was in the courtroom and
he was jubilant at the court's withdrawn its motion for a mis-
action. trial and thus put itself in a posi-
"This is definitely a big victory'tion where, an appellate court had
for us--as a matter of fact, the implied, conviction would almost

Russo told newspapermen. "It will "That's the sort of thing theE

win its battle against censorship
and prudery.
"Life" was the second large
photo-journalism magazine to pass
from the scene this decade.
"LTook," its chief competitor, suc-
cumbed in 1970.
"Life's" form of photo-journal-
ism and the magazine's appeal as
Burns guards face ight
over controversial pay hike
an advertising medium encounter-
ed severe competition from tele-
vision sincetthe late 1950s. Itstdeath
also was attributed in part to ris-
ing postal rates.
In the past two years, "Life"
changed its circulation strategy,
reducing its total circulation in
two steps from 8.5 million to its
present 5.5 million. At its death its
price per issue was 50 cents com-
pared to 10 cents at its founding.
In June 1936, Luce described the
new magazine, as yet unnamed, in
a glowing prospectus: "To see
life;, to see the world; to eyewit-
ness great events; to watch the
faces of the poor and the gestures
of the proud; to see strange things
. to see and to take pleasure
in seeing; to see and be amazed;
to see and be instructed."
Time Inc. stock jumped 6
points with the announcement of
"Life's" demise.

However, Pastula's office report-
edly told Work the reason he did
not give the guards the raise was
that Burns could not get the addi-
tional money from the University
that it would need to do so.
Several guards, who asked that
their names be withheld, said the
only strategy they thought might
get them the raise would be a pub-
licity campaign.
"The University is the only
group that, can put pressure on
Burns now," one said. The agency
is scared of losing the contract be-
cause they barely got it this year.
Maybe if we make a big enough
stink about it they'll be scared
enough of losing the contract next
year to do something."
"We're the highest paying guard
agency in the state," Pastula said
yesterday. "We give all the guards
throughout the state the same
training, the same professional
guidance, so if we find that one
group is getting paid more than
necessary, we cut it back. There's
no reason to pay more than we
have to, otherwise we might as
well not be in business."
among guards here has tradition-
ally been difficult. Unlike guards
at many other plants, who tend to
be retired men looking for employ-
ment to supplement social security
payments, University guards are
mostly students. Few stay on the
job for even the 90 days required
for definition as a full-time em-
ployee.

The selling of Santa
(Continued from Page 1)
"so far this season I have had
everybody including business ex-
ecutives sitting on my lap." He
starts out towards his little red
shingled Santa House situated in
the middle of the Arborland mall.
All eyes turn his way.
"Merry Christmas Santa.. ."
"Can you get me anything I
want ..."
"Look at his stomach."
He heads for his house and adds
through a mouthful of white beard,
"Everybody 1 o v e s Santa Claus
whether they believe in him or
not . . . maybe it makes them
remember how much fun it was
just to believe in some jolly old
man in a red suit?"
Santa Claus takes his place in
his house. A line of adults clinging
to their children immediately forms
outside.
* * *
"With so many other problems,
what the hell difference does it
make what they tell them about
Santa Claus," said psychology Prof.
Elton McNeil in response to the
question "What should parents tell
their children about Santa Claus?"

Her mittens were pinned to her
coat arms and a heavy woolen
hat covered her head. It was easy
to see that she gladly would ex-
change her right arm for that toy.
A passerby noticed the scene
and decided to talk with the young
girl whose age could not exceed
eight years.
"Maybe Santa Claus will get you
that toy for Christmas," the pass-
erby dribbled in some terribly
condescending manner.
"Bullshit," Janet's eyes moved
off the toy for a split second; time
enough to make the passerby run
off in dismay.

Scott was the sole occupant of
a small playground on South Uni-
versity across the street from An-
gell School. It was freezing cold
but he played undisturbed on the
swings. He seemed more concern-
ed with the swing than with the
stranger who was grilling him
with questions about toys, school
etc. Yet he came to life when the
subject turned to Santa Claus. "My
mother told me that Santa Claus
did not exist . . . but I still like
the presents he gives me."
* * *
A matchbox train set cruised
through the window display in a
local Ann Arbor jewelry store. A
woman stopped along with her two
children to take a look. While she
lifted one child up for a peek the
other strained on his toes and
peered into the window. A student
laden with books stopped for a
look and seemed equally fascinated
as the two children. He innocently
questioned the young boy, "Do you
believe in Santa Claus?"
The child looked perplexed but
the mother shot the student a "how
dare you" stare and insisted,
"There has never been any doubt,'
has there?"
The student sought cover in a
passing crowd and realized that
Santa Claus is just one of those
things you never talk about.
Santa Claus takes his place in
his red shack on the Arborland
mall. After carefully placing him-
self in a large comfortable chair,
he is ready to take his first visitor
of the day. A little girl rushes up
and mounts his rotund stomach.
After asking Santa for some sort
of doll she is given a red balloon
and a candy cane. She gives Santa
a kiss and says, "I love you
Santa."
He smiles the smile of a very
happy man.
