Scientists fear defense missiles
WASHINGTON (UPI) — The testimony of three scientists yesterday against deploying the antiballistic missile (ABM) system so impressed a group of senators that they arranged for a repeat appearance at the White House.

Sirhan 'incapable' of planned murder
LOS ANGELES (UPI) — A psychologist testified yesterday he believes Sirhan B. Sirhan was incapable of premeditating an act of murder such as the assassination of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy.
Martin M. Schorr, a clinical psychologist testifying for the defense at Sirhan's murder trial on examinations he gave the defendant last November, replied with a firm "no" when he was asked:
"Is it your opinion . . . that any such person as Sirhan could maturely and meaningfully premeditate, deliberate and contemplate the gravity of the act of murder?"
Under direct questioning by associate defense counsel Emile Zola Berman, Schorr also testified Sirhan as two personalities. The 24-year-old Arab immigrant is aware of his
two personalities but he does not know that one of them is the personality of a killer, Schorr said.
Schorr, who spent his second day on the witness stand at the trial which began Jan. 7, also testified that Sirhan once imagined himself the killer of Moshe Dayan, Israeli defense minister.
Schorr said Sirhan's reaction to pictures shown him in a thematic apperception test indicated a "depressive suicidal theme" for the most part.
In the test given the defendant last November, Schorr said that after showing various pictures and asking Sirhan to conjure a story about them, he then showed him a blank card. Sirhan was asked to concentrate on the blank card and then make up a story after an image came to his mind.
Wallace to continue Independent party
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (UPI)
— George Wallace promised his supporters yesterday that his American Independent Party (AIP) will continue to function.
In his first public statement since running a distant third in the 1968 presidential race, Wallace indicated in a newsletter that he would be back in the 1972 presidential contest.
"I know that you will want to continue," Wallace said in the newsletter, mailed to 1 million supporters. "I am going to continue. Together, we can contribute to a stronger and more prosperous America."
Wallace said the four-page newsletter was the first in a
series of monthly publications through which he will keep in contact with his supporters. In the first issue, mailed yesterday, he claimed that his ticket had "made an auspicious start."
"Because of it, the position taken and the statements made by the other two parties were oriented toward the middle ground. Particularly, this is true of the candidate who finally won." Wallace said the AIP had "vastly changed" the direction of government.
"Our challenge now is to see that campaign commitments are carried out—that the change in direction becomes national policy," wrote Wallace.

House supports ABM
The AURH executive committee who will head Spring Fling include Lockard; Jan Wittmeyer, Ottawa junior; Dick Hubbard, Kansas City, Mo., junior, and Dana Nelson, Belleville junior.
Technology, contended that American security would be damaged, rather than enhanced, by installation of the nuclear-armed defensive missiles.
"In the light of the array of such overwhelming objections, I wonder how in heaven's name anyone could decide the Sentinel should be deployed," Sen. Clifford P. Case, R-NJ., said after hearing the scientists testify before the Senate foreign relations subcommittee on disarmament.
WASHINGTON (UPI) House Republican Leader Gerald R. Ford said yesterday the House will support whatever President Nixon decides to do about the controversial antiballistic missile (ABM) system but opposition to going ahead with the ABM deployment stiffened in the Senate.

"I don't know what the decision is," said Ford, a supporter of the so-called "thin" antimissile system proposed by the Johnson administration but held up for review by Nixon.
"If the President decides affirmatively for an ABM system, I think the house will support it," Ford told newsmen.
The Rev. Tim Miller, Minister
"I would hesitate to comment on the Senate. If the President says we're going to stop it, I think the probability is very remote that the Congress would try to proceed."
All are sincerely invited to worship with us.

Case arranged for the scientists to tell their objections to Henry A. Kissinger, chief national security adviser to President Nixon. Kissinger met with them late in the day. Case hoped that Nixon would hear their report, but the White House said the President's schedule was filled
Killian, chief presidential science adviser in the Eisenhower Administration, said:
"I fear that substantial ABM deployment either by the Soviet Union or ourselves could result in escalation and could well fail to provide us with an additional security."
At the White House, presidential Press Secretary Ronald Ziegler said the President would delay announcing his decision on the ABM until after Defense Secretary Melvin R. Laird returns from a Vietnam inspection tour tonight.
Kistiakowsky told the senators that only seconds would pass between the moment that a potential hostile was spotted by radar and a decision was made to shoot it down. He said consequently the decision would have to be made by a computer or a junior officer with no time to consult the President.
