Breider also said that it is difficult to decide with which nations the United States is in armed conflict, especially since the country has never formally declared war on North Vietnam. He said a test case of the ordinance could become a costly court procedure for Fridley taxpayers.

In addition to the mayor, votes for the ordinance came from Councilmen David 0. Harris and Raymond E. Sheridan. in August, City Atty. Leonard Juster submitted it to the state attorney general's office.

The state refused to rule, saying the matter was only hypothetical until its adoption. Juster said Monday that the ordinance will be sent back to the attorney general's office for an opinion on its constitutionality after it goes into effect. The two councilmen who voted against the proposal, Tim Breider and Frank G. Liebl, argued that flag desecration laws are matters for the federal government and iih. i '1 Jm, Keg.

The ordinance, which must be read a second time at next week's meeting and published before it becomes effective, also states that only "authorized" persons may lower or remove the American flag from public flagpoles.

Mayor Jack Kirkham, who proposed the ordinance and voted for it Monday evening, said the measure is intended to prevent incidents similar to one at the Minneapolis Courthouse, when a "crowd EAST LAKE ONLY Family Nile Tuesday featuring Barbecued Ribs plus i complete minu COUPON INTRODUCTORY OFFER Sun-Ray HEAT LINIMENT MOM PAIN OF AKTHtlfll I ARTHRITIS 1.91 'RHEUMATISM MUSCULAR ACHES THIS SPECIAL OFFER REGULAR PRICE 6 0Z.

"A no vote on this," said Kirkham, "shows what's wrong on all levels in this country. It's protecting the criminals rather than the rest of us. I can't understand why we should protect some hippie who tears the flag down." Kirkham is an announced write-in candidate for governor, as a conservative independent.

Judge Devitt also told at torney Kenneth Tilsen that if Leonard Weinglass is to assist him in defending the six, Weinglass must be present in court next Monday. Tilsen also is defending the other two members of the group, accused of break ing into draft offices last July 4, but those two def endants' cases were assigned to Judge Philip Neville. Judge Neville gave the defense 60 days to prepare their motions, with no objection from U. S. Attorney Robert Renner, when the two were arraigned in his court last Friday.

Weinglass, of Newark, N.J., was co-counsel for the Chicago Seven during their trial on charges of conspiracy and rioting during the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago. He is appealing a 20-month contempt citation handed down by Judge Julius Hoffman. Tilsen indicated last week that the chief issue raised by the motions is alleged electronic surveillance by government agencies. He is also seeking to consolidate the trials, indicating that he will raise similar issues in all of them. FINEST HOMEMADE BLOD KLUB DUKE ELLISON'S MKT.

607 CEDAR FE 6-6775 3 for 59 University of Minnesota attorney Joel Tierney faced a barrage of questions on the witness stand Monday from six defendants who are acting as their own attorneys in a trial growing out of anti-ROTC demonstrations. The questions ranged from the Socratic you interested in to the inflammatory it part of your job to assist the Tierney also was accused of being an "elitist" and a "male chauvinist." He survived the session without losing his cool. President Malcolm Moos is expected to undergo a similar grilling when he is called to testify at 9:15 a.m. today in the Hennepin County Municipal courtroom of Judge 0. Harold Odland.

The six defendants acting as their own attorneys are among 15 persons accused of unlawful assembly when they allegedly blocked the entrances to Morrill Hall, the university's administra tion building, on May 26, and refused to disperse. Tierney testified that he ordered a group that was congregating around the north door of the building to disperse. He said one of the defendants, Mrs. Virginia Groshandler, shouted an ob scene name at him. Both Mrs.

Groshandler and her husband, who is also a defendant, tried to suggest that Tierney only remembered the 'incident because he was a "male chauvinist" who wa offended by. such language from a woman.

She returned from the conversation biting her lip to fight back tears. Mrs. Groshandler also accused Tierney of being an "elitist" because his description of Morrill Hall used such words as presidential "suites" and a "penthouse." Shs suggested that a "worker" would have included in his description such items as bathrooms and cooking facilities.

Most of the questions directed at Tierney were objected to by Spencer and sustained by the judge. One defendant, Richard 1 a who purportedly said "Let's stay" after Tierney read his statement to the crowd, asked Tierney if he couldn't have said, "Whafd he say?" Tierney said no, he couldn't. "But when I said this," persisted Sklader, "was it quiet? Could you hear the birds chirping and the crickets?" This was objected to as a multiple question. Another defendant, William Tilton, who was vice-president of the university student body last year, asked Tierney if the university had not violated its own procedures on disruptions by not asking the demonstrators to stop before threatening them with arrest. Tierney said he didn't recall exactly what the procedures were.

Embodied in the Wisconsin Plan is a request that no examinations be given to students planning campaign work prior to and during the week of elections; that, instead, the examinations be scheduled at other times. If students feel they are unable to make up lost class-work, they are being advised to drop the courses and take them at a later date.

"The option of missing classes to engage in the political process does not relieve the students of their responsibility for completing the requirements of the course," said the Wisconsin Plan resoltuion. Bernard Ziegler, president of the board of regents, said the regents had no objection to any plan for campaign DR. ROY E. PETERSON, JR.

EAST BLOOMINGTON RICHFIELD CRYSTAL Young, in a statement to the faculty governing body, said there has developed "cautious confidence" of peace on the campus following a fatal bomb blast in August. Noting the school also is gripped by a financial crisis because of a drop in out-of-state students, Young said in-state enrollment is up by more than 700 from a year ago. "This fact, it seems to me," Young said, "gives lie to the rumors that students would be afraid to come to this campus." He referred to the post-bomb fear. the Hennepin County Bar Association, which conducted the plebiscite, said the vote against an incumbent was "unusual, but not unprecedented." He noted that in 1959, Judge L. Howard Bennett was defeated in the bar poll and in the subsequent election by Elmer R.

Anderson. That plebiscite was complicated by the fact that Bennett was black the first black judge in Minnesota history and Anderson was a former president of the bar association. He is now a district judge. The total vote represented Mrs. Sedgwick Wins MADISON, Wis.

The University of Wisconsin Faculty Senate Monday voted to grant students time off from their studies between Oct. 26 and Nov. 6 to work in the fall election campaigns. Students would still be required to make up the lost two weeks of classroom instruction and any tests, but would not be penalized for their absence from class. Called the "Wisconsin Plan," by Chancellor Edwin Young, the plan is a compromise from others proposed last May during protests by students against the war in Southeast Asia.
