Union Implicated in Hearings
WASHINGTON, Pa. (AP)—Annette Gilly, who confessed to killing Vivienne Westwood family murders, said Thursday that she was told "the union" was behind the slayings and that they specifically by the "big man."
"To me, that meant Tony Kendrick was a Worker," the blonde, 31-year-old Cleveland housewife said in statement in Washington County.
The union's general counsel, Edward L. Carey, issued a statement denying any complicity of Boyle or other United Mine Workers (UMW) members in the Yabbonah mine. Boyle in a speech with newsman but in the past has denied involvement.
U. WM insurgent Joseph A. Yabonski, 59, his wife Margaret, 57, and their 25-year-old daughter Charlotte were shot to death while sleeping before dawn Dec. 16. They were in their home in nearby Clarksville.
Yablonski had just lost a bitter election for the UMW's presidency to Boyle and was about to textify before a federal grand jury in Washington, D.C., that was looking into UMW action.
The statement was read at a pretrial hearing for Silous Huddleston, 65 of the LaFollette, Tenn. Mrs. Gilly's father. Huddleston is a retired coal miner. President of a ULM local
Besides Boyle, she mentioned the last names of two other men, "Titler" and "Owens."
They were not identified further, but a George Tiller is vice president of the UMW, and a John Tanner is the university's secretary, treasurer.
The statement also mentioned two others—Albert Pass of Middlesboro, Ky.; Michael G. White and secretary-treasurer of District 19; and William Jackson Prairie, 32 of Fargo, N.D., a field representative.
After conferring with union leaders, Carey said Milly's statement, on the basis of excerpts reported by the press, was "extremely vague." He said the union could apply to many persons.
"I categorically deny that Mr. Boyle or anyone else in the union had anything to do with these murders," Carey stated.
Justice Dept. to File Suit Against Major Networks
A spokeswoman for the Columbia broadcasting system said the government would transform the networks into conduits for independently operated stations.
WASHINGTON (AP)—The Justice Department said Thursday it intends to sue for alleged侵权 violations.
In a brief announcement in Washington, the department said it had advised CBS, the National Broadcasting Company, and American Broadcasting Company and Viacom International Inc. of its intent. Viacom operates cable television systems from stations across the country, business formerly owned by CBS.
ROBERT D. WOOD, president of the CBS television network, said the government was seeking transfer control of programming schedules to advertising agencies and motion picture producers, and to prevent the networks from taking their own programming.
A CBS spokesman said he understood the Justice Department's goal to be an arrangement that would produce programs or purchase them from independent producers, then purchase time for production.
Presently networks control their own programming, buying or producing programs, scheduling them in specific time slots and then selling advertisers' content for commercial announcements.
A CBS spokesman in New York, where all the network comment originated, said the suit "has absolutely nothing to do with news programming and will not have any effect on news operations."
ABC said the suits dealt only with entertainment.
Department spokesmen declined to discuss the suits until they are filed, possibly within a few days.
Both networks said the suits were expected to be filed Monday.
A CBS spokesman said it was impossible to tell whether or not the 1972 season had run on programming for the 1972-1973 season for which schedules have been released.
The Department said ABC, CNS and Viacom had rejected the offer of assistance offered by the government. It said NBC had not responded to an email.
ABC SAID the suit was "without merit."
"We therefore rejected the department's offer . . . and have instructed counsel to defend the case vigorously." ABC said.
It said 11.4 per cent of the entertainment programs shown in prime time on ABC are produced by the network itself.
CBS said, "We would lose control. There would be no balance, from our point of view, within a program schedule . . ."
"This is hardly a monopolistic situation," it said.
This year, under an order of the Federal Communications Commission, networks control time for all customers' times, rather than the 3½ hours previously allowed. The extra half-hour is turned back to local stations, for their own use, or freefrequency returns of old network shows.
**ABC SAID** the FCC, which is an independent agency that monitors government, had "rejected the concept that networks be prohibited from using them."
"We find it strange that the Department of Justice should intervene in a subject which has already been decided by the government departments most associated with broadcasting."
Robert S. Marker, chairman of McCann-Erickson Inc., the nation's second-largest company, said in New York that he did not agree with the suit's apparent aim and the company's opposition, opposed by many advertisers.
frequent complaint of media critics was that networks kill off shows, although popular, fail. The largest possible audience
Carry blamed the slayings on persons he said were "frying to capture our union and destroy it." He declined to name them, but his lawyer said he would find myself the defendant in a possible slander suit."
However, Kenneth and Joseph Yablonis, sons of the slain insurgent leader, said in a brief prepared statement Thursday that "no longer can it be claimed that the MW was not directly involved."
It was not immediately clear what effect a successful suit would have on the programming offered to the home view. A
"My father told me that the Yablonski murder had the approval of the 'big man.' " Mrs. Gilvil said at one point,
Another time, she said, her father told her "the union would take care of me."
"He told me that with the union, the sky was the limit, unless it talked, then the grave was the limit."
Mrs. Gilly said that when she heard another suspect in the case was cooperating with insiders, she ratherather what the union would do."

placed referring to the suspect.
Mrs. Gilly said, "On the day paul, my husband, was arrested, he asked me if anything should happen to him I should remember the following four names. Thier, McLean, Gully, drilled me on those names, I asked why I should remember what happened. I know when the time was ripe.

Intrigued by the story, Stein notified friends who were in the field of coffee for a New England convention of coffee houses operators who generally support antiwarrants' areas around military bases.
Much of the material is supplied by draftees and other military men who privately tell the stories of the troops they know, the committee says.
from that meeting, Stein and six others set up the telephone network of people involved in similar antimilitary efforts at the U.S. base in this country and in Thailand, Japan and Hawaii.
The President's address, more than his limited private discussions with Trudeau, is expected to determine whether it will halt the deterioration of U.S.-Canadian relations.

BELFAST- Terrorists set off a chain of explosions across Northern Ireland Thursday, leaving an elderly woman dead and a trail of destruction in the biggest upsurge of violence since Britain's takeover. Security forces blamed the eight blasts in six cities and villages on outlaws of the Irish Republican Army. They saw the offensive as an IRA challenge to Britain's imposition of direct rule on Northern Ireland and a rope to pressure by Roman Catholic moderates for a curbing of violence.
