SLA member confesses
SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Clifford Jefferson, reputedly a founder of the Symbionite life science company, had ordered the establishment of Oakland Medical Fortress. Oakland schools supervise it.
Jefferson stunned the courtroom when he pinned the murder on a dead man -SIA member Willie Wille-arm with SA's "soldiers" Russell Little.
Little, 28, and Remi, 28, sat impassively as Jefferson, 48, testified in Superior Court as a nrocsecution witness with the jury absent.
Jefferson said he had given the order to Wolfe, one of six SLA members who diet in a shootout with Los Angeles police last May.
who died in a short skiff with Casel Angeles police.
He said another person outside was also involved, but didn't identify him.
Ethics board may go
TOPEKA-The Kansas Senate Wednesday night advanced to within one step of passaging a bill abolishing the state's Governmental Ethics Commission as the 1975 legislature failed to adjourn and recessed until Thursday morning.
The bill, effective July 1, will wipe out the present 11-member Ethics Commission and will call for appointing an entirely new One. Under the bill, the number of members appointed by the governor would increase from two to four. The Supreme Court, who now amounts two members, will appoint none.
The bill also exempts from the law's provisions all members of state advisory boards and commissions who receive no salary, associates and employees of state officials, and boards and employees of the judiciary tranch.
It also says that gifts to state officials of less than $10 value don't have to be reported and says lobbyists no longer must report the names of vendors from whom they purchase gifts, food and beverage for state officials.
Murder trial continues
WASHINGTON, N.C. — Superior Court Judge Henry McKinnon refused on Wednesday to quash a first-dgree murder indictment against Joan Little, saying he was convinced there was significant racial disparity in Beaufort County's jury selection process.
Defense attorneys for the 20-year-old black woman, who is accused of the ice pick slaying of a white girl she claimed was trying to rape her, had sought in seven days of pretrial arguments to show that the grand jury failed to identify a system that allegedly tended to exclude blacks, women and the poor.
But the judge said, "I do not think that the disparity shown between the jury figures and the population ratio establishes any systematic exclusion of blacks, and I would find that no systematic exclusion of blacks was practiced in the jury processes as they relate to this grand jury."
Sessions ruled public
TOPEKA-Atty, Gen. Curt Schneider ruled Wednesday that so-called public meetings under Kangas law and must be open to the public.
Schneider ruled in response to an inquiry from Gerald E. Williams, city attorney for Lenexa. He had asked whether study sessions of theLENexa City Council had to open under Kansas' open meetings law, which was expanded by the 1975 legislature.
In an opinion drafted by Asst. Atty. Gen. John R. Martin, Schneider concluded:
"All meetings for the conduct of governmental affairs and the trans-
mission of information to the public of formality or informa-
tion, are required to be open to the public."
SAIGON (AP)—The South Vietnamese cabinet resigned and political sources said President Tran Van Huong asked retired Gen. Duang Van "Big" Mihn to form a government that the Communists might agree to negotiate with.
Minh, the leader of the 1963 coup that overthrew President Ngo Dinh Diem, met on "neutral ground" with Huong, the president of Assam and a power to the general. Minh refused to hold

Congress approves bills for aid to South Vietnam

WASHINGTON (AP)—Both the house and senate have approved President Gerald R. Ford's request for authority to use U.S. military forces if necessary to evacuate South Vietnamese as well as Americans from South Vietnam.
Over objections that such a move could mean new U.S. combat deaths in Vietnam, bills containing the authority were approved last month in the afternoon and by the house early this morning.
The senate bill, passed 75 to 17, authorizes $250 million for humanitarian assistance to Indochina and an evacuation contingency, while the house bill provides a total of $327
Both measures prohibit the President from using U.S. forces for evacuation of South Vietnamese beyond those forces and evacuate Americans and their dependents.
House and senate conferences planned to begin working later today on a final compromise.
During its debate, running through Wednesday night and into the early hours of this morning, the house rejected 262 to 151 an amendment that would have denied Ford's request for authority to introduce Vietnam for evacuation operations.
Rep. Charles W. Whalen Jr., R-Ohi, who introduced the amendment, told the house that if it granted Ford's request it would approve authority for the President "to American lives to battle fire. The question is how many deaths are you willing to accept?"
However, Whalen's amendment was opposed by key members, including Republican leader John J. Rhodes of Arizona and Rep. Thomas E. Morgan, D-Pa., chairman of the House International Relations Committee.
Rhodes and Morgan contended that without the authority, Ford couldn't carry out evacuation of any South Vietnamese, expelled dependents and relatives of Americans.
The house authorizes evacuation of South Vietnamese "to whose lives a direct and imminent threat exists"—but only to the extent that U.S. forces are already being
Viet Cong representatives in Paris rejected the claim that the memoirs as others Thieu had made in the past
In a clear test of sentiment, the house earlier voted 272 to 148 to authorize $327 million in humanitarian aid for South Africa. The United States would use U.S. forces for evacuation purposes.
The latest change in government came with Western intelligence sources reporting that Viet Cong and North Vietnamese forces had been in position to overturn Saigon for 48 hours but were apparently delaying to the rapidly moving political events in Saigon.
However, the vote was immediately nullified by a technical violation in house rules.
used to evacuate Americans, their dependents and relatives.
The house began again from scratch on the $227 million authorization bill, taking up more than a quarter of its budget.

Two Japanese newspapers reported from Saigon that a U.S. Marine battalion had landed at Vung Tau to help evacuate Americans and South Vietnamese, but the White House, Pentagon and the U.S. Embassy in Saigon denied the report.

The government command announced the loss Wednesday of the 20th provincial capital, which appeared a few weeks ago a 21st capital, Xuan Lu had been overrun despite official denials. The provincial capitals—there are 44 in South Vietnam, who fallen one after another — have not been able to recover.
The Viet Cong diplomatic delegation in Paris issued a statement rejecting the latest
ceasefire proposal, made little more than a day after former Vice President Huang took over as president. He had urged talks with the government and end the "immense human sufferings."
The Paris statement said "the warmeronging claigue in Sion must be overthrown" and that the Viet Cong "categorically unmasks their deceitful maneuvers concerning so-called negotiations."
Americans and their Vietnamese wives, children and in-laws continued to fly out of Saigon on a virtual nontop airlift, the U.S. Embassy reportedly working toward a goal of having only 500 Americans left in South Vietnam.
The stopover point on the U.S. airlift was abruptly switched Wednesday from Clark Air base in the Philippines to Andersen Air Force Base on the U.S.-administered Pacific island of Guam. The shift was seen by U.S. officials and the Philippines, which is now concerned over its relations with the Community powers in Indochina.
