Court delays Connally
NEW ORLEANS — The prosecution in the Clay L. Shaw conspiracy trial indicated yesterday its case was drawing to a close but still had enough witnesses to delay testimony of former Texas Gov. John Connally until later in the week.
Connally, who was wounded in the gunfire which killed President John F. Kennedy, and his wife were originally scheduled to testify today. But Asst. Dist. Atty. William Alford Jr. said yesterday Connally would not be in court today.
Surcharge still needed
DALLAS - Treasury Secretary David M. Kennedy yesterday raised the possibility that the 10 per cent tax surcharge might be maintained through 1970.
Kennedy said the surcharge on business and personal incomes was tied directly to United States involvement in the Vietnam war, which administration calculations say will continue at present levels for the next 22 months.
Kennedy also said long-range tax reform measures would be delayed until the government's need for revenues could be reduced.
Plane hijacker subdued
NEW YORK - A passenger attempted to hijack an Eastern Airlines Boeing 720 to Havana yesterday, an airline spokesman said.
The flight, No. 945 with 90 passengers and a crew of seven aboard, was on its way from Boston to San Juan, Puerto Rico, nonstop when it developed radio trouble and set down at Hamilton, Bermuda for repairs.
While the plane was on the ground, the Eastern spokesman said, a passenger identified as Salvatore Sperduto, told the stewardess he had a gun and wanted to go to Havana.
The pilot, Capt. Eugene Garges, was able to alert local police and four constables came aboard and dragged the man off the plane.
Chinese intercept yachts
HONG KONG — Communist Chinese gunboats and junks apparently intercepted a feet of six pleasure yachts on a cruise from Hong Kong to Macao and three of them were reported missing yesterday. Four Americans were believed aboard the missing craft.
The skipper of one of the three yachts that arrived safely in Macao said his vessel was boarded briefly by three Communist Chinese seamen. He said the yacht had been rammed by a Chinese vessel.
One report said the missing yachts had been seen being towed away by Communist Chinese ships.

EATON'S CORRASABLE BOND TYPEWRITER PAPER
Eaton Paper Company, Pittsfield, Massachusetts 01201
KANSAS CITY - The controversial student-sponsored symposium on dissent at the University of Missouri-Kansas City Feb. 13 to 15 featured ten speakers and one folk singer-activist in an atmosphere of calm and thoughtful reflection.
Rep. Allard K. Lowenstein, D-N.Y., keynote speaker opened the forum Thursday evening with a plea to the apathetic "middle" to move to correct the injustices that plague the United States.
Martin Griglak, Western Division President of the Federation of Telephone Workers of Pennsylvania, spoke Friday morning on the origins of American dissent.
Historically, Griglak said, labor was always a crushing force but in the 1950's, it gave way to corruption from which it has never recovered.
Griglak called the decade of the fifties the "fat cat period of labor."
- Disillusionment with American liberalism identified with Adlai Stevenson, President John F. Kennedy and Robert Kennedy.
The activists of the 1930's are now men in their sixties and seventies, he said, no longer concerned with the past and

Griglak said there was a natural alliance between radical students and radical union members and called for a pooling of their resources.
more fearful of an economic depression than of war.
"The vacuum left by labor was filled by other groups-youth, intellectuals and blacks," Griglak said.
The new radicals should concern themselves more with disagreements within their organization than with opposition from conservatives, he added.
Speaking on "Origins and Themes of the New Radical Movement," Paul Jacobs, described in the program as a "youthful Trotskyist," said the reason so much publicity is given to the new radicals is America's "astounding capacity to vulgarize and commercialize."
He jokingly wondered who would be the first to make a film of Che Guevarra played by Omar Sharif, or a movie of Malcom X starring Sidney Poitier.
With a more serious approach, Jacobus said, "The grievances voiced by the new radicals are genuine ones. They are grievances based on reality and shared by many people."
Jacobs digressed from his prepared speech to explain the use of four-letter words by exponents of the new radical movement.
Jacobs interpreted the new radical movement which began after World War II as having three origins:
- The differences between real America and mythical America, especially as portrayed in post WW II movies.
Staughton Lynd, soft-spoken former Yale history professor, represented the radical educator with his presentation of a paper
- Reaction to the excesses of the Joe McCarthy era and the
"Language is a hangup with many people," he said, "but the use of these words is an attempt to liberate us."
