The prosecution also moved yesterday to press the original destruction of property charges against 12 of 35 persons arrest- ed at a second June 17, dig. The first action, if sustained by the court, would reinstate an amended charge of trespassing and "digging up the lawn and the earth underneath the lawn' against Jonathan Goldman, '73. District Court Judge Sandorf Elden originally d i s m i s s e d charges against Goldman on July 28. David Goldstein, Goldman's defense attorney, reacted with surprise to the prosecution's move, calling reinstatement of of charges "an unheard-of legal action." Prosecution attorneys John Sallin, Leonard Kowalski, and Thomas Shea have refused to comment on the reinstatement motion or any other aspects of the crater dig cases. Elden originally dismissed the case against Goldman due to the prosecution's failure to file an amendment to the charge within the court - appointed time limit. The amendment would have changed the charge from "will- ful and malicios destroction of property" todthe current tres- passing and digging charge. The original May 19 war pro- test was held to commemorate the birthdays of Ho Chi Minh and Malcolm X. In the all-day affair, several hundred demon- strators dug four symbolic bomb craters on the Diag, only to see them filled in the next day by the University. A second Diag dig June 17 ended quickly, as police moved in and arrested 35 persons on charges ranging from illegal firework possession to assault of a police officer in the brief con- frostation.

LOCAL GROUP ACTIVE: Sierra Club expands SAIGON (1)-North Vietnamese gunners yesterday shot down five U.S. fighter-bombers over the North, the Viet Cong radio reported yesterday. The broad- cast did not mention the fate of any airmen aboard the planes. There was no comment from the U.S. Command. The U.S. Command acknowl- edged that Navy jets had struck at seven targets just outside Thanh Hoa Monday, but denied any raids inside the port city, where Radio Hanoi said 100 civilians were killed or injured. Targets listed by the command when queried about the claim included a bridge, fuel depots, anti-aircraft sites and a barracks. The raids near Thanh Hoa, 80 miles south of Hanoi, were not reported in the command's Mon- day evening communique. North Vietnam's official news agency claimed that U.S. air- craft mounted nearly 100 strikes against the city, heavily damag- ing a cathedral area, a pharma- ceutical workshop, a bakery and a noodle factory. On the ground, Communist commandos c h a r g e d a South Vietnamese marine position on the southern fringe of Quang Tri before daybreak y e st e r d a y. AlRVN field reports said the North Vietnamese were beaten back after suffering almost 25 per cent casualties. U.S. B52 bombers dropped more than 200 tons of explosives on six locations within a dozen miles of Quang Tri. South Viet- namese marines continue to be stalled in their advance on the Citadel, however. The B52s also rained 600 tons of bombs on targets northwest and southwest of Siagon where North Vietnamese infantry di- visions are approaching the capi- tal city. The residents of Saigon were woken before dawn by the thundering explosions. Thirty miles north of Saigon, the rear headquarters base at Lai Khe was shelled for the fifth consecutive day. Twenty-two rounds were reported to have hit the base, from, which South Viet- namese commanders are direct- ing a long-stalled attempt to open the northern road to An Loc. One ARVN soldier was reported wounded. By DIANE LEVICK While mentioning the Sierra Club used to evoke images of old - time conservationists and bird - watchers, its recent acti- vism in fighting environmental battles has upped interest and membership locally. The 500-600 members in the -Ann Arbor - Ypsilanti area have brought ecological mattersup to the judicial and legislative level, in addition to sponsoring tradi- tional outdoor activities. The largest battle the local club has been involved in, ac- cording to its secretary, Jerome Fulton, was a fight over the re- zoning for Briarwood shopping center in Ann Arbor. The club and other environ- mentalists were unsuccessful in halting rezoning and construc- tion of the center was approved. The Sie rra Club had santed the land to remain agricultural to discourage business build-up and high density residential de- velopment. Oddly enough, Fulton says the Sierra Club's main purpose in the Briarwood controversy was to save the downtown ares from economic destruction. Fulton feels the new center will rob the downtown area of its pa- trons. The local Sierra Club chap- ter also opposed rezoning to al- low the Chrysler car corporation to build a large new parking lot along IHron River Drive. "We won that fight," Fulton says, de- scribing the drive as "very scenic". Fulton adds tht sometimes the club waits to be asked into a rezoning fight by local in- volved citizens, but usually takes the initiative to preserve nature areas that "can't talk for them- selves." Sierra Club members also plan olatdoor activities, including ca- noeing, bicycling, and hiking trips. 5tc, a icti'i'Dt5 ai t iih nL i c e iedandtswat- .,,, at ed w students t the Unvrsiy of 1ltci in. 5o-s phte' 554-0562.
