Six Charges On Driver After Chase David Lee Harris, 22, of 911 E. Liberty was in Mexico city jail today facing six charges following a chase by police and an accident at 3:29 a.m. today. His bond was set at $212.50. Harris is charged with resisting arrest by fleeing, exceeding the speed limit, failure to leave information at the scene of an accident, driving without an operator's license, having no city license and negligent driving.

Police said Harris's car was observed speeding at the intersection of Liberty and Agricultural continuing north on Green Boulevard and across the intersection at Liberty St. and Green Boulevard, proceeding north on Agricultural St. Police said they first saw Harris's car speeding across the Liberty street intersection and north on Agricultural Street. Officers pursued him down Promenade Street and North on Grand St. He was speeding 60 miles an hour at times, officers said.

They said the Harris car turned east on Pollock Road and went for half a mile where it failed to negotiate the sharp curve to the left. The car ran off the road, through a ditch and struck a utility pole and guy wire, tore down some Missouri Military Academy fence and overturned on its top. The car was demolished, police said, the utility pole was badly damaged and power lines were broken, and 50 feet of fence was knocked down. As officers approached the car, the driver and passenger, identified by police as Elroy Thompson of Pollock Road, fled on foot. Two other passengers, Carolyn Sue Curtis, 304 E.

Bolivar and Raymond Shivers, 916 E. Holt were climbing out of the car when police arrived. Miss Curtis, who had a scratch on one leg, identified the driver as Harris and the other passenger as Thompson. The car was registered to Harris's wife, Juanita. Police found Harris at home; and arrested him.

Miss Curtis did not require treatment and no one else was hurt. Almost Like Courtmartial, Says Defense LOS ANGELES (AP) "It is almost as if we are here at a court-martial," defense attorney Leonard Boudin said at the windup of the first week of the Pentagon Papers trial. Boudin's statement came Friday as defense attorneys protested after most members of a 16-person panel called for questioning as potential jurors disclosed that they had military connections or security jobs. Boudin moved to dismiss such jurors automatically, but the judge denied the request and all others by the defense concerning jury selection procedures. By the close of Friday's session, stalled at the start by defense arguments against allowing government-related persons on the jury, no jurors had been seated.

Tear Gas Fire Routs Escaped Mental Patient CINCINNATI, Ohio (AP) An armed mental patient held police at bay with gunfire for hours after barricading himself in his ex-wife's house, but was routed after tear gas hurled inside the home touched off a fire. Robert Ruebush, 47, an escapee from Long View State Hospital, was treated for head cuts suffered Friday when police fired several canisters of tear gas through a front window at the home of Mr. and Mrs. DeWitt Bailey. Prior to that, Ruebush had fired five shots at police, who returned about seven more.

Suburban Delhi Police Sgt. Richard Scarborough said the tear gas set off flames that ultimately drove Ruebush from the house. "It's ruined," Bailey said after inspecting the small, brick ranch-style home. He and his wife, Rita, who divorced Ruebush last year, arrived at the scene after the initial shooting and after the tear gas had been used. HOW To Gef Audrain Foster Blackwell Won't Aid McGovern Puppies Out Of Drainpipe SAN JOSE, Calif.

(AP) How do you get five squirming newborn puppies out of the bottom of an eight-foot-deep drain pipe three Inches in diameter? Seven men at an alcoholic rehabilitation center here learned after six hours of effort that the best way is to use a vacuum cleaner hose. The men tried snares, and that didn't work. "Then someone thought of the vacuum cleaner, Frank Conrad, assistant center manager said Friday. "We laughed at the idea, but it worked. The first one came up with the top of his head stuck right on the nozzle.

We got another on the hip and one on the chest. The most trouble was with one attached at the middle of the back." The pups, about six inches long, spent the first night after their birth at the bottom of the pipe. After a tongue cleanup by their mother, Rescue, a brown and white terrier mongrel, the puppies appeared no worse for their ordeal. King To Step Up His Campaign ST.
