Taube, 18, was the only one of six activists subpoenaed
by the jury to actually appear before it yesterday.
He said the questions of Assistant Atty. Gen. Guy

ives, his past associations
with anti-war activist Leslie
Bacon and his observances
at the People's Peace Trea-
ty Conference held s i x
months ago in Ann Arbor.
Taube told newsmen that he
told the grand jury only his name
and address.
He read the grand jury a state-
ment, he said, saying:
"I refuse to answer because I
have been advised by counsel
and I believe this grand jury
investigation has been illegally
commenced and that the sub-
poena served on me was unlaw-
ftl.
"This is because my rights un-
der the Fourth Amendment to
the U.S. Constitution . . . have
been violated and I have been the
subject of illegal electronic sur-
veillance."
His refusal to answer the ques-
tions could have resulted in a
contempt citation and a jail sen-
tence.
Besides Taube, five other ac-
tivists subpoenaed to testify be-
fore the grand jury, have con-
tended that questions put to them
by the government had been for-
mulated on the basis of illegal
wiretaps.

day, attorney Leonard Wein-

The three Soviet cosmonauts

flight, Tass, theSoviet news
agency, reported late last night.
Tass said the trio-Lt. Col.
Georgy Dobrovolsky, flight en-
gineer Wladislav Volov and test

at the- end of their 23-day mara-
thon flight program as they were

The cause of the death is on-

War study
decision
postponed
The Supreme Court Monday
put off a decision on the govern-
ment's efforts to bar the New
York Times and the Washing-
ton Post from publishing stories
based on a classified Pentagon
study on Vietnam.
No indication has been given
as to when the court will make
its ruling, althoughrcourt offi-
cials said it would probably
come by Friday.
Meanwhile, Dr. Daniel Ells-
berg, a former Defense Depart-
ment official, surrendered to the
United States Attorney in Bos-
ton Monday after admitting
that he had given the Pentagon
study to the press.
Last night, Sen. Mike Gravel,
a dovish Democrat, read aloud
in a Senate subcommittee room
portions of the top secret Pen-
tagon papers.
Acting out of what he said was
love of country, the 41-year-old
freshman from Alaska held forth
for more than 3%/2 hours and then
said he would release additional
material later today.
Gravel told newsmen he was
risking expulsion or censure by
the Senate.
Part of the delay in the
court's decision is probably due
to the vast bulk of the docu-
ments. Two of the justices com-
mented during Saturday's hear-
ing that they intended to check
all the material for possible
dangerous security breaches.
