Court Urged To Set Rule For Schools
WASHINGTON (UPI) -- The Nixon administration, denying it was sounding a civil rights retreat, told the Supreme Court Monday it could find no constitutional requirement for racial balance in the nation's public schools.
But Solicitor General Erwin N. Griswold suggested Congress might require this department to take a position in the opening round of two days of hearings on six school desegregation cases.
He urged the court to set the standard for the national objective of school desegregation by requiring states to证认 that this standard should be only "to disassemble a dual school system and achieve
"We cannot find more in the constitutional commands for . . . due process and equal protection of the laws," Griswold stated. He contended these two requirements of the 14th Amendment that are concerned in the six cases from Clark County, Ala., and Clarke County, Ga.

"I would like to make it as plain as I can that this is not a retreat," Wigel gridded declare. "We have come to the place where this court must define what the standard is."
The NAACP Legal Defense Fund, which is fighting the case for Negro parents, contends that schools identified as "black" must be eliminated completely.
The school boards generally take the position that children should be assigned without regard to race to the school closest to their home.

Though all six cases come from the South, questions from the nine black-robied justices hinted at earlier reports that any decision could have nation-wide application. They involve busing, zoning and classroom pairing to desegregation—issues which have sharply divided Negro leaders from the administration and from Southern school boards.

FBI Official Disclaims Communist Influence in Campus, Ghetto Ills
WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (UPI)—A prominent FBI official said the Communist Party “is not in any way causing or directing or controlling the unrest we suffer today in the racial field and in the academic community.”
Addressing the 1970 UPI Editors and Publishers Conference, Sullivan said the United States would be having problems from student disdain and racial tension "to a great or lesser extent if the Communist Party is this country didn't exist at all."
William C. Sullivan, top assistant to FBI Director J. Edgar Hooter said communists "have been working on getting where they can. But he said the "communication Party today is not nearly as extensive as it was in the past."
"Some go so far as to add Leminism. There are others who embrace Trotskyite theory."
"Now, on the other side of the coin," he said, "we do have many of these students—some of their professors support them—exposing their own particular interpreter of Marx. And they openly proclaim their Marxism.
and Marxism particularly. There are those who accept the Chinese version."
But the FBI official said there was no evidence that any one group of people or any single nationwide conspiracy was behind disorders on the campus or in the ghettos.
Sullivan made the statements in reply to a question by Mrs. Dorothy Bottom, of the Times-Herald, who asked her the Communicative Party was the "basic influence" in disorders
In his prepared speech, Sullivan said the Weatherman faction of Students for America's members to go underground and defend its units" and wage urban guerrilla warfare in an effort to overthrow the U.S. government. He also provided information that the Weatherman and other leaders might try to kidnap U.S. government officials while they were campaigning this fall, or be ahead of state attending the 25th anniversary of the United Nations in New York this month.
He omitted this portion of his speeches in delivery.
He said the Weatherman faction changed strategy after more than 720 members and
Bomb Wave Continues
"They planned a small, tough paramilitary organization designed to carry out urban guerilla warfare which would bring about a situation against the government." Sullivan said.
followers were arrested in Chicago in October, 1969. At that time, several hundred young people went on a window-smashing rampage through the Loop in an attempt to break into the bar and draw police into battle with them. This action was the last of a series in major cities.
Five bomb blasts rocked the city of Rochester, N.Y., on Monday, two more bombs exploded in New York City, another went in or Inlando, Fla., and the revolutionary Westminster group claimed responsibility for two explosions which wrecked a New York City courthouse.
Although it was not immediately certain that Monday's blasts were politically motivated, they continued a wave of bombings across the nation which began soon after Weatherman warned that it would mount a falloff of terror.

The five-story stone federal office building was described by a witness as "half destroyed." In the earlier raid, the "Flower City" group ransacked the offices of the Selective Service, the FBI and the U.S. Attorney.
The Rochester bombings, worst of Monday's incidents, severely damaged a federal office building that had been raided Sept. 6 by a group called the "Flower City Citipacy," the Monroe County office building, two days later. The attack allied the efforts of a union official. The dynamite shells all went off within a 10-minute period beginning at 11:35 a.m.
The Orlando explosion took place at a construction site while two Air Force men were attempting to dismantle a homemade bomb. The explosives sidedge but the men were not believed to have been seriously hurt. There had been no labor trouble and police could offer no motive, but they pointed out that it was the third firefight to be hit by bombs in recent weeks.
In New York City a gunpowder pipebomb went off in a sidewalk platter outroads. In another city, a shuttering three windows and awakening police. Police and witnesses reported seeing five men in the street.
In Brooklyn a low grade explosive in a tin can blew up under a fence in front of an oldement. One police investigator said he knew the kid just wanted to make a loud bang."
Three persons were hurt in Monday's explosions—a man in an apartment house across from the Rochester bombings was cut by flying glass and two Air Force planes, both injured while dismantling the bomb in Orlando. None were believed seriously hurt.
Cut in Campaign Budget Vetoed
Nationwide, Monday's bombings brought to 13 the number of bombings in the past seven days. Others have occurred in California, Illinois and Washington.
President Axes Bill On Spending Limits
WASHINGTON (UPI)—President Nixon, saying it plugged "only one hole in a cave," Monday meted vota a bill settling enough spending for the television commercials in election campaigns.
Accusing the President of playing partisan politics with the skyrocketing cost of running for office, Democrats vowed to try to overturn the veto. But they conceded they would have a hard time getting the required two-thirds vote in both the House and the Senate.
"The problem with campaign spending is not radio and television: the problem is spending. This bill plugs only one hole in a sieve."
Sen. Sam J. Ervin Jr., D-N.C., summed up the general Democracy objection to Nixon's campaign by saying, "We have some limit on campaign spending. The way it is now a poor man can't run for office without paying a fee."
A White House official who briefed reporters on Nixon's action denied that his administration had authorized both GOP National Chairman Rogers C.B. Morton and Sen. John Tower, R-Tex., chairman of the Senate Committee, urged the President to reply.
The bill would not have affected this fall's election, but would have cut spending in the 1972 presidential election to less than half of what it did in publicists spent in 1988 getting Nixon elected.
"In doing so, it unfairly endangers freedom of discussion, discriminates against the broadcast media, favors the incumbent of a candidate, and gives an unfair advantage to the famous."
It was Nixon's fifth veto—two of the previous four were overriden by Congress—and came on the last possible day. If he had been allowed to become a law at midnight without his signature,
"The big money people of corporate America who are paying the skyrocketing costs of television politics-defense contractors and consumer manipulators—are not rich enough to afford Nicholas Johnson, a member of the federal Communications Commission (FCC)."
"They're getting their money's worth from a government that makes better deals with business than it does with people. But it's a sad and tragic day for those who had made some limitation on the power of money to delegate our politics and our government."
Sen. John O. Pastore, D-D.L., chief sponsor of the bill that would have covered spending
In his veto message to Congress, Nixon said the bill "does not limit the overall cost of campaigning. It merely limits the amount of money spent on radio and television," the President said.
for radio and television time for all federal offices and for governor and lieutenant governor in state elections, said in a memo to the governor last month that to force the bill into law desixen Nixon's veto.
"The American people will be the losers unless Congress overrides the veto. I pledged to press for this legislation in this Congress and made a statement for it in the next Congress." Pastore said.
to the American people his calculated effort to make the politics of TV propaganda a permanent feature of the American political scene."
The White House said it had a "reasonable expectation" that the veto would be sustained, but acknowledged strong Democratic support for the measure.
The political sparks flew quickly after the White House announcement.
Democratic Chairman Lawrence F. O'Brien said Nixon's action "has revealed
He called on Congress to rebuff the President.
The measure would not affect this fall's elections, but would have come into play in the nominating process. The official who briefed reporters on Nixon's decision said it would be "too speculative" to disclose the results.
O'Brien said, however. "Mr. Nixon and his政治 advisers turned thumbs down for one reason: they didn't want to support Republican Party's campaign to saturate the beaches with paid, spot commercials."
One FLQ cell offered to free Cross and Laporte if two conditions were met; but the other, holding Laporte, insisted they would have unseen unless four other demands were also met.
Commandos Disagree On Ransom Demands
The FLQ named Robert Lemieux, a young lawyer who defends arrested FLQ men in Quebec Premier Robert Bourassa named Robert Demers as the government negotiator.
MONTREAL (UPI) - Two separatist commando cells, holding a British diplomat and a Quebec cabinet minister hostage, demanded by the ransom demanded for their release.
Both the government and the terrorists of the Front de Libération du Quebec (FLQ) appointed lawyers to open negotiations for the freedom of the two captives.
Each set different ransom conditions.
The F1Q earlier suspended the death deadlines hanging over the two hostages, British Trade Commissioner James C. Cross and Quebec Labor and Immigration Minister they threatened to kill them if the government asked with an answer to their ransom demands.
The two FLQ cells, each holding one mature, operate without direct contact, in-condition with the other.
Demers was one of the main organizers of Bourassa's campaign election campaign last
The "Liberation" cells, which kidnapped Cross last Monday, and agreed to free Cross
The main demand was the release of 23 separatists, jailed on charges ranging up to murder and bombing, and an airplane to fly them into exile in Cuba or Algeria. The "Liberation" cell also demanded an end to the police search for the kidnappers.
But the "Chienner Finance" cell, which holds Laporte, demanded a return to their original "six demands", including payment of the land and holding a half million dollars in gold at the airport.
Following the broadcast of the "Liberation" cell's two-condition demand Monday, the "Chemier" cell replied with a communique sticking to their burden line.
"The situation is very clear and the last communique from the other cell referred only to the liberation of Cross," said the "Cheier" cell's reply.

Panel Credits Change to Students
By CAROLYN ROTHERY
Kansan Staff Writer
Four University of Kansas professors concluded in a Kansas Free University panel discussion, "University in Change," Monday evening, that students have been gaining an awareness of university diversity because of increased student representation on policy making committees.
The speakers, Herman Lujan, associate professor of political science, Charles Oldfather, associate dean of the School of Law, Howard Baumgartel, professor of psychology and Arthur Sidmore, assistant professor of mathematics, presented ideas on what was needed in the field and then gave some time to discussion of the ways the students could start changes.
"If the University has been anything, it has not been neutral," said Lajun. He said that of the major roles of the University is to train people in socially accepted roles such as business, medicine, military science and other professional goals.
In this area, Lujan said that the University is stating positions in subtle ways and that these were conservative because it is the norm stressed by society, the taxayers.
Oldfather said the structure of power rests at KU in the offices of departments and deans. The Board of Regents have ultimate authority to give it to the chancellor in the form of "a permanent dictatorship" that is eventually delegated to the departments and deans, he said.
The sensitive society has many controls over the University, and their norms are property rights in much of the country take into account over a good many human rights." He said that in Kansas the burning of the Union on April 15 was an unintended shading of a youth on Oceans Street last week.
The fact that power in the University lies in the departments was sighted as a way that students could bring about changes. Feedback to the departments would bring about
changes, not mass rallies on Jayhawk,

The panel finished with reports, and a discussion followed with students questioning confusion and frustration with required work, wondering about alternatives to the situation.
Some points that were mentioned were auditing large blocks of classes, forming their own class hierarchies.
seeking a degree from the University but just taking courses of interest and alternatives to the set-up of the College-Within-College system.
The alternatives to the CWC system were suggested by a discussion of the audience as well as the panel members. It was suggested that there could be choices of schools for those who wished adjuvant and sought a degree from college who wished to just take courses in new field.
The next meeting of the "University in Change" class will feature a dialogue between one of the members of the panel and a member of the University administration. Speaker presents include Francis Heller, Vice President, Academy of Science Affairs, William Bailford, Vice Chancellor of Education, Jacob Gordon, assistant professor of African Studies, Emily Taylor, dean of women and Arthur Crum, a member of the Board of Regents.
