Redlands Daily Facts from Redlands, California • Page 2

Testifies for first time Patricia Hearst tells of threats DAILY FACTS, Redlands, Calif. EB and FLO Monday, February 2 by Paul Sellers Lockheed incident (Continued from page 1) on this particular occasion." "Had they told you what would happen previously?" "Yes. I was told I 'd be killed." Bailey asked Miss Hearst about the threats on her life. "Were you told this many times?" "Yes." "Could it be a couple of hundred times?" "Yes." The defense attorney then turned to a shootout on May 16, 1974, in Los Angeles, Miss Hearst's alleged admission to teenager Thomas Mathews that she voluntarily took part in the holdup, her subsequent trip across country with the Harrises, and an SLA diary which she allegedly helped write. Miss Hearst said she went to Los Angeles early in May.

On the 16th, she and the Harrises allegedly took part in a shooting spree at a sporting goods store in the Los Angeles suburb of Sjglewood. "Where did you meet Tom Mathews?" "In a van." She said William and Emily Harris were the others in the van, that Emily drove, and that William sat in the back with her and held a rifle on Mathews. Miss Hearst said Harris ordered her to tell Mathews who she was, which she did. "At some time in the future, did you find yourself in Pennsylvania?" Bailey asked. "Yes," said Miss Hearst, who explained she went there with sports activist Jack Scott and his wife.

"How did you meet Jack Scott?" "At an apartment in Berkeley or Oakland." "How did you get to Pennsylvania?" "We drove." "Did they tell you where you were?" "I was told it was around Scranton someplace." Miss Hearst said Emily Harris already was at the farmhouse near South Canaan, where they hid out, and that William arrived shortly afterward. Bailey asked Miss Hearst whether she heard anything about a book that was supposed to be written at the farmhouse. "Yes. It was supposed to be some propaganda thing about the SLA and what they had done." "Were you given instructions about contributing to this book?" Bailey asked. "Yes.

William and Emily Harris told me to write an autobiography about how I joined the SLA." The heiress said she was to write the autobiography in question and answer form, with the questions supplied to her. "The parts about how you joined the SLA and changed your political opinions were they from you or from someone else?" "Both." "The historical information about your childhood and so forth came from you?" "Yes." "Was it generally truthful?" "Generally." "The statements about how you joined the SLA were they from you?" "From Bill and Emily." "What was the Scotts' participation?" "None." Miss Hearst said Scott was supposed to be the one to get the book published. "Did he bring anyone around to meet you in connection with the publication?" "No." "Did you ever see these people at the farmhouse?" "No." "Did you ever meet anyone at the farmhouse who was supposed to have something to do with getting the book "Paul Houck (phonetic)." "Who was he supposed to be?" "A professor from Canada." "Wasn't there anyone else you met in connection with the book?" "No." 'What others who were not in the SLA or connected with the book did you meet at the farmhouse?" "Wendy Yoshimura and Phil Shinnick." "Was anyone introduced to you as an attorney?" "No." "Do you recall Jay Weiner?" "Oh, yes." "Who was he introduced as?" "A friend of the Scotts." "Insofar as the manuscript is concerned, does it truthfully recreate your conversion to the SLA?" "No." "Did you really have any choice?" "No." "You were told you must cooperate?" "Yes." "What were they going to do with the proceeds?" "The Harrises were trying to get money. They would go to various groups. They had nothing to do with publication." "Were they short of money at the time?" "Yes." "What was the time span of working on this diary or manuscript?" "It started in the summer of 1974 and I guess I was still working on it into 1975." "Who had custody of it when you moved?" "The Harrises." That ended Bailey's questioning of Miss Hearst.

Browning then began his cross- examination, going over the same incidents in detail. "May we assume the tape was recorded a day or two before it was discovered?" Browning asked. "Yes." "You later learned the tape was broadcast the same day it was received, but it had been recorded several days before?" Miss Hearst said she did not know what day it was received. She said the tape was recorded in an apartment house on Golden Gate Avenue in San Francisco. Miss Hearst then said she had prepared the post-bank robbery tape recording in a closet of the apartment, and Browning produced a photograph which he showed to the judge.

He asked Miss Hearst whether the photograph was of the closet in which the tape recordings were made. "Yes." "And DeFreeze was in the closet with you?" "Yes," she said, adding just the two of them were in the closet. She said she was held there in the closet for "a month or a month and a half." "You were not held in the closet all the time, were you?" "Yes, I was." She said she previously had also been held in a closet in a tract home in Daly City before moving to the San Francisco flat. "You were moved in a car?" "Yes. I was put in a garbage can and tied up and put in the trunk of a car and then placed in the closet immediately." Browning then questioned Miss Hearst about statements she made in an affidavit after her Sept.

18 capture. In it, she said she was brainwashed and driven nearly to madness by the SLA. He asked if it were true that she was not able to dispose of her body wastes for 10 days after her capture and that no one spoke to her except DeFreeze, who brought the tape recorder into the closet. "Yes," said Miss Hearst. She said that after being released from the closet, she sat in with a "war council" in the apartment in which she was told she would take part in the Hibernia bank robbery, stand in the middle of the bank and announce her name.

Browning tried to make a point of the fact that Miss Hearst did not mention in her affidavit that she was held in two closets, and that therefore the affidavit was incorrect. "Did you read this affidavit before signing it, Miss Hearst?" "Yes." "And you signed it, knowing it was incorrect?" "Yes." Browning paused after her answer. Miss Hearst sat motionless and stared directly at him. The prosecutor then referred to the tape-recorded remarks in which Miss Hearst said she was not being brainwashed, drugged and tortured by the SLA. "Do you remember speaking those words?" "No." Browning referred to a report that Miss Hearst at one point was given a chance to go home or stay with the SLA.

"Weren't you in fact offered that choice?" "Well, sort of. I was told I could go home or stay with them. I didn't believe them." In the tape, Miss Hearst said a volunteer "soldier in army" when she took part in the holdup, that her kidnapers did not have their guns pointed at her, and that the idea she had been brainwashed "is ridiculous to the point of being beyond belief." U.S. Attorney James Browning completed the first phase of his case last week, calling 19 witnesses and showing three versions of an 80-second film made from surveillance camera photos of the April 15, 1974, robbery of Hibernia Bank's Sunset Branch in San Francisco. The prosecution showed Miss Hearst had participated in the holdup with four of her SLA kidnapers, carried a carbine and fled with her captors after two men were wounded.

The defense had not disputed those facts. Ex-policeman Rock music not gets probation decadent author says RIVERSIDE (UPI) A former Corona policeman was placed on three years probation after pleading no contest to charges that he shot and killed his brother-in-law during a quarrel. Ruben Martinez, 27, was charged with involuntary manslaughter in connection with the death of Donald Kimmel, 29. Martinez was suspended from the police force in 1974 for being excessively rough with juvenile suspects, police said. Miss Chinatown SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) Linda Sue Chun, a 22-year-old University of Hawaii graduate from Honolulu, is Miss Chinatown U.S.A.

for 1976. Linda Sue was chosen at the weekend in a contest with 15 other young women from Chinese communities throughout the United States. A THOUGHT FOR TODAY The individual who uses the ability he was given when he was put on works to the limit of that doing what the Lord intended him to do. LOS ANGELES (UPI) Rock music is no more decadent than classical music and is not undermining the youth of today, says the author of three music encyclopedias. "Just as you can prove that rock is terrible, you can make a case to indicate that classical music is even worse," Irwin Stambler said.

Stambler, 50, is author of the Encyclopedia of Popular Music; Encyclopedia of Folk, Country and Western Music; and the Encyclopedia of Pop, Rock and Soul. He takes issue with "self- appointed authorities such as the one who stated rock is as dangerous to youth as heroin." Adam Knieste, a choirmaster in San Rafael, said recently he believes rock music is "more deadly than heroin." Another critic, a Southern preacher, said it was leading to the moral decay of youth and could be a main reason for teen-age pregnancies. "Such statements and others Attendant slain LOS ANGELES (UPI) A 30-year-old gas station attendant was shot in the chest and killed Saturday night by a lone gunman during an aborted holdup attempt. Police said Nelson Ruiz was on duty alone at the station when the gunman approached, demanded money then shot the attendant. recently printed in the mass media are nonsense," Stambler said.

"It's possible to put together extraneous facts to prove all forms of music are bad, an obvious absurdity." He said that rather than being degenerative, rock music is "a positive force." "All music has something to contribute to people," he said. Stambler, who learned to appreciate classical music from his mother, a graduate of the Juilliard School of Music, said the same arguments given to prove the decadence of rock music can be applied to the classics. He said Wagner was "violently anti-Semetic and his operas were paeans to the myth of a super race in many ways. More than one historian has cited his work as an influence on such negative forces as Nazism." Stambler said there can be some physical damage from listening to hard rock, but added, "You can take anything to excess. "I don't really think someone who casually goes to a few rock concerts can really damage their health," he said, "but maybe a steady diet (of such loud amplification) can." Demo senators urge Ford to sign bill LOS ANGELES (UPI) Democratic Sens.

Alan Cranston and John Tunney urged President Ford Sunday to sign a $6.1 billion public works bill creating 600,000 jobs nationwide, 75,000 of them in California. The California senators warned that Ford's almost- certain veto would be a crucial political issue in the 1976 presidential election. Ford said in New Hampshire during the weekend that "government-sponsored jobs have not solved America's unemployment problems and never will." Tunney said the President's position "crystalizes the ideological differences over the problem of unemployment do we want jobs or the dole in this country?" Cranston said the public works Bill is aimed primarily at the depressed construction industry "and while the overall unemployment rate was 7.8 per cent in January, it was 15.4 per cent in the construction industry nationwide and 20 per cent in the construction industry in California." In New Hampshire Connally write-in candidacy reported By United Press International John B. Connally, the former governor of Texas who switched to the Republican Party more than two years ago, may become a write-in candidate in New Hampshire's Feb 24 Democratic primary, according to reports published today. The St.

Louis Post-Dispatch and the Washington Star said the write-in effort is being organized by Richard Viguerie of Falls Church, a principal sponsor of the new national Conservative Caucus, with support from William Loeb, the conservative publisher of the Manchester Union Leader, the state's largest newspaper. The reports said a decision will be made in the next few days on whether to proceed with the write-in effort. The Star said Connally, who Senate panel delays doctor bill action SACRAMENTO (UPI) The Senate Finance Committee today voted to delay action for two weeks on a doctor- supported medical malpractice bill after lawmakers expressed concern it would create a huge tax burden for Californians. The vote on the motion to delay consideration of the bill (SB1420) by Sen. Alfred Song, D-Monterey Park, was 5-3.

Sen. Donald Grunsky, R- Watsonville, said he was "not prepared to saddle the public" with the potentially huge funded liability created by the state-operated, doctor funded pool that would provide malpractice coverage for California physicians. Grunsky said the cost to doctors under the bill would be only "a token premium." The measure already has drawn fire from Assembly Speaker Leo T. McCarthy, who argued it could leave taxpayers with a $2.5 billion bill at the end of 10 years.

Two Democratics who are in the bidding for the Democratic nomination, Fred Harris and Jimmy Carter, are running almost dead even in Oklahoma's Democratic caucuses, but their combined total barely exceeded uncommitted delegates.

Sen. Lloyd Bentsen', recieved less than 12 per cent of the vote in the state that borders his home state. Bentsen canceled a campaign appearance scheduled for today in Missouri and returned to Texas to "re-evaluate" his campaign. He said he would issue a statement after the review. President Ford was in New Hampshire for two days of campaigning over the weekend and was so enthusiastic about his reception that he plannned another visit before the primary.

Supporters of Carter, the former governor of Georgia, and Harris, a former senator from Oklahoma, are claiming victory for their respective candidates in Oklahoma. Final results were not expected before Wednesday or Thursday. Carter today became the second candidate to enter Vermont's March 2 presidential preference primary. His entry came as Ford's national campaign manager, Howard Calloway, announced Ford's petitions will be filed Tuesday, just before the filing deadline. Until today, Democrat Sargent Shriver had been the only presidential hopeful to formally enter the race, which is not binding on delegate selection.

The latest poll of voter attitudes taken by the Louis Harris organization indicated the Democratic nomination remains wide open. The two politicians who recieved the most support in the Harris poll were Sens. Edward M. Kennedy and Hubert H. Humphrey, although neither man is a declared candidate.

Among the 10 Democrats who are candidates, Alabama Gov. George Wallace still has the lead with Sen. Henry M. Jackson of Washington in second place. Dutch to investigate royal bribery charge THE HAGUE, Netherlands (UPI) The Dutch cabinet met today to appoint a committee of "three wise men" to investigate reports Lockheed Aircraft Corp.

paid Prince Bernhard $1.1 million for his help in selling warplanes, government sources said. A government communique Sunday identified the 64-year- old consort of Dutch Queen Juliana as the "high Dutch official" mentioned by a Lockheed executive in testimony before a Senate subcommittee on overseas payments by the firm. The communique also reported Bernhard's denial he received any money from Lockheed. According to published figures, the Dutch air force acquired 95 Lockheed Star- fighters under a 1960 contract and purchased 13 P2B antisubmarine planes in 1961. The Dutch Fokker company assembled the Starfighters under a Lockheed license in early 1960s.

Government sources said the cabinet of Socialist Premier Joop den Uyl was expected to announce the names of the investigating committee to Parliament on Tuesday. The sources said the investigation would take about six weeks. Press reports said committee members probably would include the attorney general, the vice president of the state advisory body to the an elder statesman experienced in international business affairs. The probe of the Queen's consort presented the Dutch Royal House of Orange with its worst crisis since 1956, when the royal family last appointed a committee of "three wise men" to rule on a controversy involving a member of the family. A middle-aged faith healer hired by Queen Juliana to treat her youngest daughter, Princess Marijke, for an eye ailment, was charged with wielding undue influence over the monarch.

The committee ruled the faith-healer, Greet Hof mans, should leave the court to mend a "royal rift" between the queen and her husband. The newspaper De Volkskrant said "as its worst consequence, this (current crisis) could entail the abdication of the queen." Constitutional law professor Jan Prakke said if the investigating committee found the prince had accepted a bribe, be would not be immune from criminal prosecution. In announcing his decision Sunday to launch a "thorough and independent" investigation into the charges, den Uyl stressed the probe "does not mean Prince Bernhard has been guilty of any reprehensible acts. Cosell settled suit filed for slander SAN DIEGO (UPI) Howard Cosell has settled a $3 million assault and slander suit filed against him and ABC by a 19-year-old student who claimed the sports commentator slapped him when he asked for an autograph, it was learned today. Attorneys for Cosell and Scott Schindler said the suit was dismissed last November "on a mutually satisfactory basis" under an order by Superior Court Judge Byron F.

Lindsley which prohibits disclosure of the settlement terms. The settlement became known when the trial, originally scheduled for today, was removed from the court calendar. Schindler, a student at the United States International University, charged Cosell sulted and slapped him when he asked for an autograph after the commentator appeared on a radio talk show at the Sheraton Airport Hotel on March 30, 1973. According to Schindler, Cosell responded by taking off his glasses, calling him a "a disgrace to the American society" and slapping him in the face. The Studio of WM.
