Charles Garry, who represents party leaders, cited the police slaying of two Panthers in a gunlight at Chicago as an example of what he said was a deliberate extermination policy aimed against the party. Defending Panther leader David Hilliard. Garry said Hilliard was using the "rhetoric of the ghetto" when he said the Panthers would kill President Nixon- Hilliard, 27, of Berkeley, was arrested by Secret Service agents in San Francisco late Wednesday and charged with making a threat on the president's life during a Nov. 15 antiwar rally in Golden Gate Park. "We will kill Richard Nixon," Hilliard said on a platform before 100,000 persons and television cameras.

Garry told newsmen the Panther leader was not making any actual threat on Nixon. "This is the method in which the ghetto speaks." Hilliard was jailed in lieu of S30.000 bail on the federal harge, which could lead to a maximum five year prison term if he is convicted. His attorney said he cannot be freed unless the "community" puts up bond money. Terence Hallinan, a leader of the West Coast' New Mobilization Committee which sponsored the Moratorium rally at which Hilliard spoke said the group would help defend the Panther speaker. He said Hilliard was only trying to "jolt people" with his remark about Nixon.

Hallinan and Garry also said the Panther Party would go before the United Nations in an attempt to charge the United States with "genocide." Hallinan said the government "has an obvious pattern and policy of physical extermination." "Those whom it cannot put in prison or out of the country will be killed." he said. With Hilliard's arrest, all the original top leaders of the Panther Party are now either in jail or. like Eldridge Cleaver, out of the country. June Hilliard, 32, David's brother, participated in the news conference with Garry and' said he was the party's assistant chief of staff.

D.C. The Community Mental Health Bill, proposed by U.S. Rep. Paul Rogers was passed out of committee yesterday. The House Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee approved the bill which would provide mental health funds and facilities for the more than 20 million Americans suffering from mental illness.

Rogers said the bill particularly would affect the younger sufferers and aid in detecting mental illness at an earlier age. He said the act would also be instrumental in fighting drug abuse and alcoholism and in educating potential victims of mental disorders and drugs.
