Brown's attorney ties bombing, factory
CAMBRIDGE, Md. (UPI) — William Yates, Dorchester County state's attorney and prosecutor of black militant H. Rap Brown, predicted Thursday that the bombing of the Dorchester County Circuit Court building and discovery of a New Left bomb factory in New York will prove to be related.
The state police captain in charge of the investigation in Cambridge said late Thursday, however, that police have no concrete leads.
Capt. Thomas Veditz said he met with all law enforcement agencies active in the investigation and that none had turned up any substantial evidence in regard to the type of explosive used or the person who set the bomb.
"So far, we're up against a blank wall," he said.
Veditz said that to consider a white woman seen near the courthouse Tuesday as a suspect
would be "farfetched." But he said police are still attempting to locate her for questioning.
It was learned that FBI and state authorities had extended their investigation of the Wednesday courthouse bombing and the Monday bomb deaths of two of Brown's associates in Bel Air, Md., to the New York case. They were especially interested in checking links between the disappearance of two young women when the New York "factory" accidentally blew up and eye witness testimony that a young woman was seen in the courthouse just prior to the blast.
"I think all these cases are related," said Yates. "I think they are an attack on the judiciary, an attack on courthouses as a symbol."
Yates said his belief was reinforced by a statement made by Brown's attorney, William Kunstler, that more bombings were possible and the "stupid" case against Brown ought to be dismissed.
Gov.Maddox may leave Democrats
ATLANTA (UPI)—Gov. Lester Maddox has scheduled a news conference Monday to announce his future political plans—including the possibility he will bolt the Democratic Party.
But Maddox readily admits conferring with GOP leaders in recent weeks about switching from the Democratic Party.
Maddox cannot, by Georgia law, succeed himself as governor. He once talked of running his wife, Virginia, for governor and himself for lieutenant governor, but that talk has subsided in recent months.
Sources close to the governor seem to believe he will announce his candidacy for the office of lieutenant governor, and probably as a Democrat again.

The statements of various law enforcement officials and Maryland Gov. Martin Mandel concerning the explosions have been highly contradictory. There was confusion over the description of the white woman sought in the courthouse bombing as being "from New York" because a car she supposedly entered near the courthouse had New York tags.
Investigation showed Thursday that the car was owned by a New York shirt manufacturer and being driven by a company vice president visiting one of their plants.
Brown is charged with arson and inciting to riot in connection with the burning of two blocks of racially restive Cambridge in 1967 after he made a speech advising Negroes to "burn America down."
Although the blasting caps were composed of black powder and black powder traces were found in the car's wreckage, a state police officer said he thought it was "coincidental."

Meanwhile it was disclosed Thursday that 7,000 dynamite blasting caps contained in a single package had been taken from a grenade manufacturer near Bel

She was once associated with radical groups in Washington and suburban Maryland, and the two Negroes who were killed in Bel Air were from Washington.
Pollution no problem London rid of smog
LONDON (UPI)—Not long ago, London was a place where the sky was always dingy, where the only birds were pigeons, where people lived in dread of a thick yellow smog which sneaked up on the city and strangled thousands.
Today, Londoners live in one of the cleanest atmospheres in the world. Hawks, wild ducks, and bullfinches have returned to nest in the parks. The sun, when
it shines, shines brightly. Even the wash on the line dries whiter.
The reason—Britain's Clean Air Act which 14 years ago deprived the Englishman of his traditional glowing coal fire for the privilege of breathing fresh air.
Salary 'skim'-
The 1956 Clean Air Act was the first legislation of its kind in the world. As a result, London now has one of the lowest air pollution rates of any industrial city on the map.

"I think that you'll find me Alliance's allegation absolutely false," said Delbert Shankel, associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
"If a faculty member had a salary of $10,500 then six per cent of that would be $630. He would then either get an increase of $600 or $650 depending on how that instructor was evaluated."
"I believe that you will find," he said, "that the basic six per cent increases or about $153, is given in all the graduate assistant salaries."
"But," he said, "there is no
"Increases are given at even number figures like $10 or $50. We don't give any three or five dollar increases because it keeps the mathematics of our budget simpler.
Romney will not help campaign of Mrs. Romney
WASHINGTON (UPI)—Housing Secretary George Romney said Sunday he would not campaign in behalf of his wife's efforts to win the GOP nomination as a candidate for the U.S. Senate from Michigan.
His wife Lenore said she thought her husband would be "too busy" to campaign for her before the April primary but she said that her children will be pitching in.
Romney said he was "accused of trying to dictate" to the state's Republican leaders in political jockeying a few weeks ago and did not want to be criticized again.
"She's the candidate," said the secretary for housing and urban affairs and former Michigan governor. "I'm going to stay out."
Mrs. Romney said she is confident she will win the nomination.

Shankel was speaking for George Waggoner, Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences who is out of the country. At press time, Francis Heller, dean of faculties was unavailable for comment.
Professor honored with award
Robert R. Sterling, professor of business administration, was named last week to the Arthur Young and Co. Professorship in Accounting.
"Such professorships are provided by gifts to the University in order to recognize and attract distinguished scholars," said Clifford D. Clark, dean of the School of Business.
Last spring, Sterling organized and co-chaired the first Arthur Young Accounting Colloquium, which attracted scholars from the field of philosophy, mathematics, economics, information theory, sociology, finance and accounting. The proceedings of that colloquium will be the subject of a book to be published by Southwestern Press.
Sterling serves on advisory boards of three national research projects, a task force assigned to write the Fundamental Concepts of Accounting, the national committee on Theory Construction and Verification, and as a departmental editor for the Accounting Review.
Sterling's research has been published in accounting journals of England, Japan, Australia and the United States. His paper "The Going Concern: An Examination" received the highest award for research given in his field.
