A smaller blast set fire to the wooden front wall of the firm's offices in Rome. A man who called the New York Police just before the explosion here said "The Weather Underground" set the blast.

"Seeing that the bomb was in the offices where our Latin American activity is carried out, you might think there's a link with the politics of Latin America," an ITT spokesman said. "The police have no exact indication that this is connected with Chile." he added. New York police said they found pieces of a ing power in 1970. The firm also at one point wanted an economic blockade of the new government, according to testimony before the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

These offices are more or less the headquarters of the Latin American group. It covers all Latin American companies owned or operated by ITT, the ITT spokesman said. He said he did not know if the blasts in Rome or San Francisco were related to the one in New York. The bomb was planted at the junction of two corridors and blasted through a set of partitions. Office supplies were strewn across the area and covered with dust, police said.

nine-volt battery and a watch in the wreckage. No one was hurt in the explosions. In San Francisco, a pipe bomb blew up outside a basement window in the old Federal Building, sending flames as high as SO feet up the building's white stone wall. A second bomb failed to go off. There was no immediate link with the New York blast, which happened at about the same time.

The government of the late President Salvador Allcnde was negotiating with ITT last year to buy its Chilean investments, including the nationwide telephone company, but the talks were broken off when documents came to light that allegedly showed the firm tried to stop the Marxist government from tak Alan Whitney, night managing editor of the New York Post, said a man called the newspaper's city desk about IS minutes after the explosion and told a reporter: "I'm only going to say this once. This is the Weather Underground, we're going to attack ITT." Then he hung up. Whitney said the caller "sounded as if he was in his 20s and appeared to be calling from an outside pay phone, because we could hear traffic ncses in the background." Police said a similar call was made by a man between 2:39 a.m. and 2:15 a.m., to the police "911" emergency number. The blast came at 2:45 a.m.

Schaefer escaped, the death penalty because the murders were committed during the time last year when Florida was without a death penalty. However, he still faces a possible sentence of life imprisonment. Two legal motions are pending which could send Schaefer to a state mental hospital instead of to state prison. One motion asks the courts to commit him under the Baker Schaefer Maintains Innocence IB By YVETTE CARDOZO Staff Writer FORT PIERCE Seventy-four-year-old juror Richard Arkin said it all.

"We had compassion, but why let a man who we thought was a murderer walk the streets?" After hours and 10 minutes of deliberation yesterday, broken once by a bomb threat, a four-woman, two-man jury found Gerard John Schaefer, a former Wilton Manors policeman, guilty on two counts of first degree murder. They found Act for mental incompetency; the other, asking for psychiatric commitment, stems from an incident last summer in which he tied two girl hitchhikers to a tree in a wooded area 10 miles from where the bodies of the two Broward County girls were found. State and defense attorneys have until 10 a.m. next Tuesday to file further motions. These will be taken up on Thursday.

Public defender Elton Schwarz also says he intends to appeal the verdict. As he waited last night for the decision, Schaefer said, "This place (courtroom) is packed with people I don't know, and they're all looking at me. What DO they think I'm going to do?" Schaefer thought a bit. "That's what it reminds me of sharks closing in for the kill. How many people actually have a personal interest in this? Before the verdict.

Circuit Judgfe C. Pfeiffcr Trowbridge told the courtroom, "If anybody can't handle the emotional impact of the verdict, they had better get out now or some of you will be going directly to the jail without passing through the outside." George Jessup, the father of 1 ii sJ' i it i fJ in-lit, vv 1 one of the two girls who died, quickly left the courtroom. After the verdict, the Jes-sups climbed into his car without comment, Mrs. Place, mother of the other girl who died, took time only to murmur, "Justice has been done." "And there is a God," her son said. After the judge read the verdict, each juror affirmed that guilty was his personal verdict.

Speaking after the verdict came in at 11 o'clock last night, juror Arkin, a real estate salesman, said the evidence against Schaefer was overwhelming. Arkin said, "We had compassion, but why let a man who we thought was a murderer walk the streets?" Arkin said the jury' was initially split in favor of a guilty verdict, 4-2, but it was a manuscript written by Schaefer that finally swayed them. The manuscript detailed gruesome, sex murders similar to the slayings of the two girls, whose dismembered bodies were found on Hutchison Island. "That manuscript seemed to set a pattern. Everything that transpired seemed to follow that pattern," Arkin said.

And there was other evidence: "There was the fact that the Shepard envelope was found in Schaefer's home," Arkin said. "There (Continued on Page 2A, Col. 4) V.

Destroyed Politically, He's Not About To Stop Fighting ment saying "I am innocent of any wrong-doing (and) I have confidence in the criminal justice system of the United States and am equally confident my innocence will be affirmed." The vice president is no longer confident in the "criminal justice system of the United States" as it has been interpreted by the U.S. prosecutors in Baltimore and by Petersen and others in the Criminal Division of the Justice Department. The "leaks" out of Baltimore and the Justice Department, he feels, have destroyed him before the evidence was even presented to the grand jury.

He resents the suggestions that he went back on his word, first expressing confidence in the courts and then turning away from them to the Congress. He "had" confidence in the "criminal justice system," he says, but then when it did not maintain the privacy of its investigation, and "leaked" its unproved and even unheard charges against him, he felt he had been "betrayed" by the system and turned to the Congress for a fair and open hearing. After the "leaks" to Graham, and another leak two days later to the Washington Star-News, Agnew concluded that these leaks were not coming from minor characters on the periphery of the investigation, but from men close to the top of the Justice Department, an4 therefore that the procedures before the grand jury would be "utterly poisoned." (Continued on Page 2A, Col. 1) that would look like a confession of guilt. And that, he insists, is a confession he will never make.

Agnew decided to appeal to the House to hear his case after Fred Graham of the Columbia Broadcasting System on Sept. 22 quoted Henry F. Petersen, assistant attorney general in charge of the Justice Departments Criminal Division, as saying he had refused to drop criminal charges against the vice president because Petersen was confident that the government could obtain a conviction against Agnew if the case went to trial. Petersen was quoted by Graham as saying: "We've got the evidence. We've got it cold." On Aug.

Vienna's airport was closed to all traffic. Police armed with machine guns blocked off all runways and guarded the passenger terminal as the Arabs were in an Iberian Airline plane on the runway. The drama began earlier at Marchegg, an Austrian border point near Czechoslovakia, where the two men seized control of the "Chopin Express" and took two Jewish women and an Austrian customs officer hostage, police said. The gunmen crossed the border from Czechoslovakia and shot and killed a Czech border guard, Austrian news reports said.
