on Aug. 6.
Two women who worked with
Davis for the Soledad Brothers
Defense Committee said they
were with her on days preceding
the shooting - days on which
the prosecution says she was
plotting crime.
The defense strategy was re-
vealed after hints that attorneys
might choose not to answer pro-
secution claims that Davis,
deeply in love with convict
George Jackson, plotted to take
hostages from Marin and ex-
change them for her lover's
freedom.
Jackson was one of three
"Soledad Brothers," convicts
charged with murdering a pri-
son guard. His brother Jona-
than was clam in the Marin
shootings. Davis worked for the

mittee.
Juanita Wheeler, a black em-
ploye of the Communist party
newspaper, People's World,
swore that Davis was her house
guest the week of Aug. 3, 1970
and that she stayed "four or
five days." She said she saw
Davis every day of the visit, in-
cluding the clay of the shoot-
ings.
Wheeler said that on the day
Davis left, previously pegged as
Aug. 7, 1970, she "packed her
bags and put them in the trunk
of my car." Then, she said
Davis went with her to the Peo-
ple's World office, and the edi-
tor drove her to the airport in
Wheeler's car.
The state sought to prove
Davis went to the airport in a
car borrowed by Jonathan Jack-
son and waited to escape along
with the Marin kidnapers and
George Jackson, but took a
flight to Los Angeles only after
learning the plan had misfired.
Asst. Atty. Gen. Albert Harris
Jr. attacked the credibility of
the defensewitnesses on cross-
examination, noting that all

sion, Nixon exchanged toasts
with his hosts and referred indi-
rectly to Vietnam in remarks
about the "responsibiilties of
great powers."
Calling for cooperation to
"pave the way to peace for all
the world," Nixon said "we
should recognize that great nu-
clear powers have a solemn re-
sponsibility to exercise restraint
in any crisis, and to take posi-
tive actions to avert direct con-
frontation."
"We should recognize further
that it is the responsibility of
great powers to influence other
nations in conflict or crisis to
moderate their behavior," he
added.
Soviet willingness to hold the
talks while U.S. planes bombed
North Vietnamese ports has as-
tonished some observers.
However, the Russians appar-
ently are interested in making
progress in arms control and
achieving eventual gains in
trade with western Europe.
In addition, the Soviet Union
is interested in what stance the
United States t a k e s toward
China, which Soviet officials are
viewing more and more as a
threat.
On the agenda for this morn-
ing's talks are Vietnam and
strategic arms li tation.
The crowd that turned out to
watch Nixon's arrival, curious
but not exuberant, far eclipsed
the handful of onlookers who
watched Nixon's motorcade tra-
vel the streets of Peking.
Nixon's visit comes three
months after his trip to China.
Soviet leader Nikita Krush-
chev visited the United States
12 years ago, but no President
has ever made an official visit
toRussia.
The President was accompa-
nied by two charter planes full
of newsmen, each carrying over
180 media people.

many allied officers believe is
targeted for a major North Viet-

A government fire base mid-
way between the cities was at-
tacked, and its defenders pulled
out but reoccupied the position
three hours later.
Field reports said heavy air
strikes, including a B52 bombing
raid, were called in on suspected
communist positions just off the
highway and elements of the
road-clearing column followed
the strikes in an attempt, to
drive them back. But then en-

An Loc has been pounded in-

of the siege, pushed to within

At Da Nang, an American
