Bombs found
* near U.S. base

FRANKFURT, West Germany (AP)- Two timebombs
were found and defused yesterday outside Rhein-Main Air
Base, a main transit point for the 240,000 American troops in
Europe. Meanwhile, West Germany's most feared terrorists
took responsibility for trying to kill the U.S. Army's
European commander.
The planting of the explosives was the fifth incident aimed
at Americans in West Germany in three weeks, and was
presumed to be part of the terrorist Red Army Faction's self-
proclaimed war "against the American military machine."
IN THE LATEST episode, American soldiers found two
fire extinguishers containing explosives and equipped with
timers on a railroad freight spur less than half a mile from

Rhein-Main.
Each of the devices weighed 13 pounds. Police said the type
of explosive had not been determined, and declined to say
when the bombs were to go off.
Police disarmed the bombs without injury, but traffic was
blocked for about half an hour on a main rail line adjoining
the spur and on one of the nation's busiest highways nearby.
MEANWHILE, A Frankfurt newspaper received a letter
signed by the Red Army Faction claiming its members at-
tacked Gen. Frederick Kroesen; the Army commander in
Europe. He and his wife, Rowene, were slightly injured by
glass Tuesday when a Soviet-made grenade hit the general's
car as he was being driven to work in Heidelberg.

The letter was postmarked in Aschaffenburg, base o.
U.S. infantry brigade, and sent to the Frankfurter Ag
dschau newspaper.
It declared an urban guerrilla war on "the centers,.%
bases and the strategy of the American military machine'
THE LETTER SAID the Red Army Faction, also known'
the Baader-Meinhof Gang, sought to disable "the global4i
perialist apparatus," in order to pave the way for "a aI
breakthrough" by revolutionaries in the Third World.
The government denounced the latest violence, calli*
"an attack not only on our American allies, but also on a
own safety and freedom." It also pledged to do everytbl
possible to protect Americans in West Germany.

of events which eventually led to the
breakdown, beginning with Jones'
transfer in 1965 out of a special
edication school in Detroit into a
regular junior high school. While still in
grade school,. Jones repeatedly scored
between 65 and 73 in standardized IQ
tests.
JONES' PARENTS were allegedly,
never consulted about 'the transfer,
which Quinn says was done so Jones
would play basketball for Central High
School.
Shortly after Jones' transfer, North-
western basketball coach Fred
Snowden allegedly informed Detroit
Board of Education authorities that
Jones was attending school outside of
the proper district. Jones was switched
o a schoolwithin his district and was
later advanced to Northwestern, where
he played on Snowden's varsity team.
"He used to be taken out of classes 35
or 40 minutes early to start basketball
practice," Quinn said. "Those kids
would sometimes go until nine at night,
four times a week . . . He (Snowden)
had the champion teams."
Although Jones scored in the zero
,percentile, the lowest possible mark, on
tests of his reading and writing ability,
he continued to attend Northwestern
with passing grades until his
graduation in 1968, the same year that
Snowden was reportedly offered a job
a assistant basketball coach at the

University.
THE SUIT SAYS Snowden and Orr, in
an attempt to persuade Jones to play
for the University, deceived, him,
claiming he had to finish four years of
college before he could go on 'to play
professional basketball. They then
allegedly arranged for his entry into
North Idaho Junior College and put him
on a plane to the college where coach
Rolly Williams reportedly had to fill out
Jones' class schedule and application
forms for him because Jones "was
unable to read or write with sufficient
capacity," the suit charges.
Jones was allegedly assisted in
cheating on exams and paid by "certain
college boosters" for his work in non-
existent jobs.
After a year at the college, other
students allegedly began harassing
Jones, which eventually culminated in
his mental breakdown, the suit states.
LIGENS MOORE, attorney for the
Detroit Board of Education, said the
Board will pursue technical defenses,
including its legal immunity from most
lawsuits and the passing of the two year
statute of limitations for personal in-
jury.
"We (the school board) don't guaran-
tee the success of anybody," Moore
said. "He's not the first student who has
graduated from a public school and had
a breakdown in college."
Coaches Snowden and Orr could not
be reached for comment.
