Thursday, July 29, 1976 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Seven Thursday, July 29, 1976 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Seven Judge refuses mistrial in Harris trial LOS ANGELES (M) - Wil- liam and Emily Harris' law- yers, losing a last bid for a mistrial yesterday accused the judge of actions "more prose- cutorial than the prosecution" and demanded his removal. They said he had sanctioned a jury that may include "a saboteur." Superior Court Judge Mark Brandler refused to disqualify himself. "I THINK the court is now out of control in assuming the role of prosecutor," said chief d e f e n s e attorney Leon- ard Weinglass. "The court has taken a position more prosecu- torial than the prosecution it- self." Outside court, Weinglass told reporters he felt the judge was "handling the case like a pro- secutor gone berserk." It was the fourth time in two days that the defense had bit- terly denounced the judge as biased. WEINGLASS and Harris are scheduled to address jurors to- day before the case is submit- ted for their verdict. Brandler rejected defense argument that the smuggling of an inflammatory newspaper ar- ticle into the jury room had poisoned the Harris case. Weinglass said the smuggler - probably a juror - wanted to remind the panel of anguish surrounding Patricia Hearst's 1974 kidnaping by the Symbio- nese Liberation Army. Hearst is the Harrises' absent codefen- dant on kidnaping, robbery and assault charges. THE newspaper found stuff- ed in a wastebasket in the jury room last week was a Feb. 6, 1974, edition of the Los Ange- les Times which reported her kidnaping with a banner head- line. "The jury had heard one week of testimony from wit- nesses who seemed not inclined against the defendants," said Weinglass. "They s e e m e d friendly to them. " . This paper was put in the jury room to show the oth- er jurors that not all victims are a happy lot, that not all victims are pleased with the actions of the SLA. "IT WAS a calculated re- minder coming just at the time of the Chowchilla kidnapings of 26 schoolchildren which were a matter of national concern," he said. Attorney Mark Rosenbaum, citing numerous legal prece- dents for a mistrial, said, "It's likely one of the jurors has in- fected this case in a deliberate and purposeful manner. One of the jurors may very well be the deliberate saboteur." Rosenbaum noted that lie detector tests had cleared all sheriff's personnel and court aides of involvement in the smuggling. JURORS are the only other persons with access to the heav- ily guarded jury quarters in the bullet-proof courtroom. It would be considered legally im- proper to have them take poly- graph tests during a trial. Economic index advances WASHINGTON (AP) - The government index on eonomic trends, released yesterday, sig- naled a continued, though rela- tively slow growth in the economy, and a resulting ex- pansion of job opportunities for American workers. The index of leading indicators advanced in June for the eighth straight month but by the smal- lest margin in seven months. THE COMMERCE Department said its index, composed of a dozen individual statistics, rose three-tenths of one per cent in June. That compared to a seven-tenths of one per cent rise in May. The May figure represented a downward revision for the month from the 1.4 per cent originally reported. The June advance was the smallest since the one-tenths of one cent reg- istered in November. A particularly encouraging note in the June index was that the primary upward influence came from a 13.6 per cent jump in the volume of contracts and orders for factories and facili- ties. THE JUMP reversed a 3.6 per cent decline in that cate- gory in May and indicated that business may be getting seri- ous about expanded capacity- and thus creating jobs-to cope with further increases in de- mand. So far, consumers have been the biggest spenders in the re- / ThereISa * . difference.'.'. *PREPARE FOR:i MCAToatexperience * and success Small classes Voluminous home " G E st"dy.materia's tosrses that are . constantly updated.

Also pointing upward in the composite were faster growth in cash and near-cash held by consumers and business, high- er prices for key wholesale products, higher stock prices and slower deliveries by sup- pliers. THE SLOWER deliveries are taken as a sign of increased demand in the economy. The biggest downward influ- ence, Commerce said, was a shrinkage in the nation's mon- ey supply after adjustment for inflation. Slower formation of new busi- nesses, a lower volume of new orders received by manufactur- ers of consumer products and their suppliers and a smaller number of building permits is- sied were other downward in- f ences. ~~~~MAQV [RADE -PLUS- STUDENT NIGHT 50c ADMISSION WITH STUDENT I.D.
