Ford testimonu ordered
SACRAMENTO - A federal court judge yesterday ordered President Gerald R. Pord to give a video-taped deputation as a defense witness for Liam "Squawky" Bonilla.
U. DISTRICT Court Judge McBride said Ford could be questioned by Fronte's court appointed co-counsel, John Virga, at the White House or any other federal district court.
No sitting U.S. president has appeared as a witness in a criminal trial. Thomas Jefferson did send a letter to the court in a civil case during his term of office and Richard M. Nixon submitted answers written under oath to a list of court-approved questions during the White House plumbers trial in July 1974.
CIA knew action illegal
WASHINGTON—The CIA opened more than 215,000 letters over 20 years knowing it was illegal and despite two internal studies that showed the operation was poorly run and of marginal intelligence value, according to evidence made public yesterday by the Senate intelligence committee.
The mail-opening program began in 1952 as a legal mail-cover operation in which the outsides of envelopes were photographed, but it soon expanded into a operation in which the mail was opened. The program wasn't ended until 1973, when former CIA director James Schlesinger ordered it stopped.
RABAT: Morocco — The first convoy of volunteers set out yesterday for the
storm to lead 350,000 Moroccan in a “March of Compassion” to the Sultan Shah Hari.
Moroccans begin march
Telling them to "let the holy book of Allah be your only weapon," Premier Ahmed Osman gave the signal for the departure of 20,000 marines in a convoy from the oasis of Ksar Souk as Spain flew a high-level emissary to Morocco in an effort to persuade the king to stop the desert walk.
One Moroccan official said Monday the march could only be stopped by a Spanish declaration recognizing Morocco's right to the disputed territory and calling on all nations to support it.
MORRISTOWN, N.J.-As his family listened, Joseph T. Quinn testified yesterday that "it's the Lord's will" his daughter Karen Ann be allowed to die. Quinn was the first relative to testify at a trial on the family's request that 20 Quinniaan, who has been in a coma for six months, be allowed to "die with dignity."
Both Karen Quinlan's doctors have testified they would refuse to disconnect the respirator, saying it is against medical tradition.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP)—A $50.5 million bond issue for the Metropolitan Community College District failed to raise the required two-thirds majority for passage and was defeated in a special election yesterday.
K.C. bond issue fails
The final unofficial returns showed 19,868 votes in favor of the proposition and 19,724 against. Fewer than 20 per cent of the registered district voters cast ballots. The bonds would have paid for completion of the Longview and Maple Woods community college campuses, and added space at Penn Valley Community College.
Residents of the Kansas City, Belton, Center, Grandview, Hickman Mills, Lee's Summit, North Kansas City and Raytown school districts voted.
Four aquittals end first kickback case
the Spanish government at El Pardo Palace outside Madrid.
TOPEKA (AP)—The first of six trials involving the two-year-old K.U. Medical Center architectural contract kickback case ended yesterday in acquittals for a mechanical engineering firm and three of its officers
Judge Michael Barbara, who had presided over five days of jury selection, five days of testimony and one day-plus of jury selection. "It was a very hard entry," adding it had been "most attentive."
A Shawnee County district court jury for seven women and five men returned four verdicts of not guilty at 2 p.m. following 11 hours of deliberation, during which portions of testimony were reread to the jury three times.
Jury fereman Donald Pearson of Topeca said the jury had leamed toward acquittals for the charges.
FOUND NOT GUILTY were William E. Burgess, Ralph E. Preston, Elton R. Plaster and the Kansas City mechanical firm of Burgess, Latimer and Miller
of not guilty in the cases of Preston and Plaster Monday night.
BARBARA HAD DISMISSED similar sympathy to commit bribery charges against three other principals in the firm last Thursday when the state rested its case. The judge ruled there was not sufficient evidence to sustain the charges of insult and disrespect, motion for dismissal against Burgess, Preston and Plaster and the firm itself.
The firm was accused of being party to a scheme by architects and engineers and certain state officials in each case in 1972 re-election campaign of former Gov. Robert B. Docking in return for a $500,000 initial design contract for expansion work at the firm.
DOCKING, whose brother, George R. "Dick" Docking is among remaining defendants in the case, testified for the defense last Friday.
Dick Docking is due to go to trial in mid- January.
