Vol. LXXXI, No. 70-S Ann Arbor, Michigan-Wednesday, August 18, 1971 Ten Cents Eight Pages Ahmad By P.E. BAUER Alleged anti-government con- spirator Eqbal Ahmad yesterday urged American citizens to employ civil disobedience, if necessary, to protest government policies. He explained his view of Ameri- can politics to the national con- ference of Clergy and Laymen Concerned (C&LC) at Markley Hall, citing as an example of the results of U.S. policy the plight of his native Pakistan. Ahmad, a professor of interna- tional studies at the University of Chicago, is one of six anti-war ac- tivists charged with conspiring both to blow up the heating sys- tem of Washington D.C. and to kidnap Presidential adviser Henry Kissinger. Calling American involvement in Pakistan "one of the 34 invisible wars currently being waged by the U.S.," Ahmad urged the au- dience toward increased involve- ment in American foreign affairs. "Let us begin to force govern- ment institutions to become ac- countable to us or crack," he said. Ahmad explained the concept of "invisible war," saying they are "wars waged by the government which are invisible only to you, not to those suffering the conse- quences of them." He cited Ameri- can involvement in Pakistan. Viet- nam, Laos, Cambodia, Brazil and Guatemala as examples of those carried on by the American gov- ernment. But, according to Ahmad, these wars are not the fault of the gov- ernment alone. "Vietnam became possible only because the American people had stopped questioning the government.

A statement issued yesterday by the Office of Eco- nomic Preparedness would allow universities and private schools to legally implement previously approved tuition hikes during the price freeze. That decision was made, a spokesman said, on the grounds that most tuition increases were announced months ago and advance payments and deposits have been made for many 0 students under the new nay raise schedules.

Federal Judge Cornelia Ken- nedy said she would order one of the witnesses - Terry Taube, 19, of Detroit, to enunciate at one time all Constitutional rights he planned to claim in his fight not to testify. These rights would include the Fifth Amendment, which says a person does not have to testify if his testimony would not be self-incriminating. Once this right is ennuciated, the government could move to grant a witness immunity from prosecution. If the witness con- tinues to 'refuse to testify, the government could cite him for contempt, according to U.S. At- N torney Ralph B. Guy Jr. Judge Kennedy's ruling would extend to the other witnesses who have refused to testify, "by either going back and ironing it out like today or running Taube through as a test case on all the others," according to Guy. So far, six witnesses have failed to testify before the grand jury in Detroit, investigating May Day ativities in Washington and the bombing of the nation's capitol last March 1. The wit- nesses have remained silent on Fourth Amendment g r o u n d s that prohibit illegal search and seizure. The witnesses claimed the grand jury was unlawfully con- vened and that subpoenas were unlawfully issued because they were based on illegal govern- ment wiretaps. Judge Kennedy did not deal directly with the wiretap issue at Tuesday's hearing. Taube and three other wit- nesses were scheduled to appear before the grand jury at 9:30 a.m. Wednesday. Judge Ken- nedy said she would call a special hearing at 9 a.m. to or- der Taube to ennunciate all rights he plans to invoke. Also scheduled to appear be- fore the grand jury Wednesday were Larry Canada, 29, his for- mer Kathy Noyees Canada, 25, both of Nashville, Ind. and Jane Silverman, a former Civil Rights worker and now a close asso- ciate of anti-war activists. Miss Silverman appeared be- fore the grand jury yesterday morning, but refused to answer the bulk of some 45 questions asked her, according to the ac- tivists' attorney, Hugh Davis. Colin Neiberger, 30, of Bos- ton, also was subpoenaed to tes- tify today, but Davis said the government realized "it was a mistake and wants to retract the subpoena." Guy declined immediate comment. Davis argued before Judge Kennedy for a ruling to allow the witnesses to remain quiet on the basis of just the Fourth Amendment, without relinquish- ing their other Constitutional rights. The government, on the other hand, argued that it is "per- fectly obvious" that such a "piecemeal ruling would lead to an assertion of Constitutional rights" and a series of "succes- sive appeals," ending in the "total defeat of the purpose of the grand jury.". Guy said after Judge Kennedy made her decision, "As to Taube, the government got ev- erything it sought today. "If he claims the Fifth Amendment on a gamut of ques- tions, the government would make a decision on whether to grant him immunity. If the gov- ernment grants it, and he still refused to testify, he would be brought in and cited for con- tempt." End of an era Pizza Bob is carried to his grave yesterday by his friends
