Activists tell congressmen of plans for political protests
WASHINGTON (UPI) — Student activists following up Saturday's big antiwar rally outlined to sympathetic members of Congress Sunday their plans for pushing their protests into the political arena.
The occasion was an informal open hearing by several lawmakers opposed to the U.S. involvement in Indochina. The witnesses were students from all parts of the country.

Ron Young, spokesman for the rally organizers, said the demonstrators who came to Washington will not seek to spread the student strikes, to workers in factories and shops.
The students generally agreed that their best approach would be to point out locally the way members of Congress have voted on issues relating to the war.
LA teachers view contract
Four Iberia jetliners targets of fire-bombers
One member of the board walked out shortly after the closed meeting began. Opponents said the plan put forward by a mediator was based on financing not available, and was therefore illegal.
Leaders of the striking United Teachers of Los Angeles (UTLA) endorsed the contract and recommended its approval by UTLA rank and file members who were scheduled to vote after results of the meeting of the seven man board of education were known.
LOS ANGELES (UPI) — The board of education met in a stormy session Sunday to vote on a proposed contract to end a month long strike of about half the 25,000 teachers in the nation's second largest school system.
GENEVA (UPI)—Fire bombers believed to be political enemies of Spanish Chief of State Francisco Franco struck Sunday at the Spanish Iberia Airlines in four European cities in an apparent concerted attack.
A disaster was narrowly averted in Geneva where 50 passengers were removed from an Iberia DC9 only minutes before an incendiary device exploded in the baggage compartment.
Rejection by the board presumably would mean a continuance of the strike which has not closed the schools but which has disrupted schedules and shortened sessions for the city's 650,000 students.
Fire bombs destined to be placed aboard Iberia planes also exploded in Amsterdam's Schipol Airport and in the Frankfurt, Germany, airport. The one in Germany was on a luggage cart bound for an Iberia flight to Barcelona.
School Superintendent Robert Kelly was reported fighting the
plan along with Lyman Powell, an attorney hired as the board's negotiator.
The proposed contract put forth by mediator Benjamin Aaron, a UCLA professor, provides for a 7 per cent wage increase for the teachers instead of the 5 per cent offered by the board.
