Wednesdoy, July 14, 1976 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Poge Five Reagan wil not contest delegates WASIINGTON P- Ronald Reagan said yesterdty he will not challenge the credentials of any delegates to this year's Re- puhlican Natianal Convention, and urged President Ford to pledge the same in the anne of party unity. "I have asked my campaign stafi and delegates supporting my candidacy not to challenge the credentials of any dele- gate," Reagan said in a state- ment released by his campaign staff here. "IN TIE INTEREST of Re- publican party unity, I urge Mr. Ford to issue similar in- structions to his own campaign organization and supxsrters," he said. "The manner in which we conduct our national con- vention mist give the Ameri- can people confidence that the Republican party can govern honestly, decently and effec- tively over the next four years." Reagan's campaign also re- leased a letter its general coun- sel, Loren Smith, sent to two members of Ford's campaign committee urging a creden- tials truce. "WHILE we all know that it is not unethical to lodge pure- ly technical challenges, many would view it as unfair" Smith's letter to Robert Visser and Timothy Ryan said. "Such ma- neuvering could easily lead to bitter procedural wrangles, the appearance of chaos to the pub- lic and almost certain defeat for the nominee. Mailman beware!

LOS ANGELES t,) - An ab- sent Patricia Hearst emerged as the star character in the William and Emily Harris trial yesterday, described as a pale, bewigged gunwoman firing wildly at a sporting goods store. The first witness at the Har- ris trial, store owner Carroll William Huett, described the "strange" person he saw firing a machine gun on May 16, 1974. Hearst has admitted she was the assailant, "IT HAD large sunglasses, a very white face," Huett recall- ed, "a very strange face and this big afro style hairdo. None of it looked like it belonged to one person." Huett recalled the confused scene when he and other store employes wrestled with the Har- rises, whom they suspected of shoplifting and Hearst opened fire from across the street. Later, a portion of the scuf- fle was re-enacted in the court- room with a prosecutor sprawl- ed on the floor, straddled by a key witness -the store clerk who tried to handcuff Harris. DEPUTY DIST. Atty. Richard Harbinger, a graying attorney in a blue suit, shed his jacket and played the role of Harris, as witness Anthony Shepard, a tall black man, sat on him. Jurors, the judge and specta- tors stood to watch the scene unfolding on the floor in front of the counsel table. Shepard told how he fled when Hearst's bullets started flying. "I crawled or shimmied on the sidewalk behind a pole," he said. "You don't want me to show that too, do you?" He was 005 required to demonstrate further, SHEPARD, the fifth witness, was to resume his testimony to- day about events following the violent episode described by Huett. "There were shots being fired at us," Huett recalled. "They sounded strange because there was traffic on the street that kind of muffled them. "... Mr. Harris said, 'You'd better get out of here. She's shooting at you' ... We started running in the store and there was another burst of fire." UNDER questioning by Dep- uty Dist. Atty. Sam Mayerson, Huett spoke of Hearst's role, without mentioning her name. "On the first burst of fire I looked up and saw the person. The left door of a van was open and they were outside the van looking through the frame- work of the window" Moments later, he said, he saw the Harrises "beating it across the street" Huett and another store em- ploye, Gary Mason, said they never heard the Harrises call for help from Hearst nor signal her to shoot. T H E H A E R I S E S, charged with kidnaping, as- sault and robbery, claim they had no part in the newspaper heiress' decision to open fire and rescue them. The 22-year-old Hearst, in- Styling IS THE ANSWER! Chet, Harold & Dave UM STYLISTS at the UNION dicted with the Harrises, is awaiting sentencing on a San Francisco bank robbery convic- tion and will be tried separate- ly. Ms. Harris, who delivered her own opening statement Monday, told how Hearst decided to "go along for the ride" on their shopping trip to test her ability to disguise herself. She was then the nation's most famous fugitive. Huett revealed that Hearst's shots came close to causing death. ONE EMPLOYE, he said, was struck in a shirt pocket over his heart, but a pen de- flected the bullet. "His pocket was ripped and his pen was bent all out of shape." Huett said his wife, who was at the cash register, was b 1 e e d i ng from superficial wounds to the face and he was hit in the arm by bullet frag- ments, also superficially.
