SOME RAIN and snow is predicted today in an area north of New Mexico and Texas. Showers are expected along the eastern states, extending from Florida through New Hampshire. universities listed 1,411 speeches in the past two years. Sixty-seven persons who made 155 speeches have been identified with or provided public support for militant, radical or Communist-oriented groups, the report said. The B7 speakers, paid a total of $109,243, included Dr.

Benjamin Spock, a leader of the fight against the draft, who received $21,550 for 12 speeches, and comedian Dick Gregory, $19,550 for 21, according to the report. Mark Rudd, Weatherman leader who is wanted by the FBI on riot conspiracy charges, reportedly was paid $1,069 for five speeches. Rap Brown, accused of inciting a riot at Cambridge, Md. reportedly received $1,540 for one speech. Among other speakers were Tom Hayden, of Students For a Democratic Society; Yippie leader Jerry Rubin; attorney William Kunst-ler, and 14 members of three mobilization com-mittess to end the war in Vietnam.

WASHINGTON (AP) A House committee says many of the nation's colleges are being used to raise money and provide forums for speakers "promoting disorderly and revolu-ing, but afford a forum where the radi- The Internal Security Committee said in a survey report the campus speaking circuit Is a source of significant financing for speakers "publicly identified with militant, radical or Communist-oriented groups." The committee said its survey shows "speaking appearances are not only revenue-produc-tionary activity among students." realization process may be continually expanded." The report, made available to a reporter Friday and to be marie public early next week, stops short of concluding that the campus speeches finance riots or revolution. The committee could not find out how the speakers' fees were used. Questionnaires returned by 127 colleges and Freeze Slapped On New Tax Exemption Bids WASHINGTON The Internal Revenue Service Friday announced that it has temporarily stopped granting tax exempt status to new "public interest law firms" and other groups that want to fight court battles on environmental issues, consumer protection "and the like." The IRS had already put off decisions on applications from some 50 non-profit organizations and law firms, it was learned, including the natural resources defense council and the environmental action coalition. Some of these groups reportedly have been left hanging for as long as eight months, hampering efforts to raise money or to file law suits. The IRS announcement said that applications for tax-exempt status would be held up pending completion of a 60-riay study to determine whether these "rapidly proliferating" law firms and groups were truly acting in the public interest.

The action struck Washington, D.C., attorney Mac Asbill Jr. chairman elect of the American Bar Association Tax Committee, as a "not unreasonable idea, on the face of it." By deliberately instigating litigation on broad issues, he observed, some law firms could run into professional taboos against soliciting business. An IRS spokesman declined to identify the applicants for tax exempt status or to add other details to the announcement, which said the tax-free status of traditional "legal aid" for the poor and of "educational" nonlitigating organizations was not in question. Saying clear standards were needed to define "public inter-, est" for tax purposes, the IRS announcement also left open a final judgment on the deductibility of contributions made during the period of the (60-day) study" to law firms and groups already granted tax exemption by IRS. This was seen by some Democratic lawyers as an effort by Nixon Administration conservatives to slow the growing tide of litigation pushed by non-profit groups in housing, pollution and civil rights.

Spiegel and its Washington lobbyist have also been accused in the case, but Judge Hart asked government lawyers to prepare arguments showing why he should not drop charges against Spiegel and the lobbyist.

The increase was the third largest this year, exceeded by a jump of six-tenths of one per cent in July and eight-tenths in January. One effect is expected to be higher grocery prices. The increase raised the government's Wholesale Price Index to 117.8, meaning wholesalers paid an average of $117.80 last month for goods which cost them $100 In the 1957-59 base period.

A critic of the administration's policy on Vietnam, Goodell said he wanted to debate Agnew on the "fundamental national issues he has raised the obligation of all Americans to respect those with whom they disagree." If the vice president "insists upon injecting himself" into the New York campaign, Goodell said, "then I ask him to be a man about it." Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller who appointed Goodell to serve the unexpired term of the late Sen. Robert F. Kennedy stepped in meanwhile with an attempt to act as peacemaker.

He called for a "ceasefire" between his two fellow Republicans. Rockefeller, himself under attack lately from his Democratic opponent Arthur J. Goldberg, Friday termed "political rhetoric without any basis in fact" Goldberg's criticisms of the state's fight against narcotics addiction. "Once again the Democrats, using Mr. Goldberg as a dupe, are misleading the people with fiction and fantasy concerning a grave problem facing many of the young people of the state and their parents," the governor declared.

He said New York State operates and finances the na-t i most comprehensive treatment for narcotics addicts. The governor won endorsements Friday from two more Democrats Edward F.

(AP) As workmen cleaned up rubble of a courtroom bombing, a Marin County judge blamed the courts themselves for "pampering criminals" and making it easy for them to escape justice.

Superior Court Judge Samuel Gardiner spoke Friday while the and state investigators sifted debris for a clue to the terrorists who set off a massive blast the day before al the Marin County Civic Center. In a statement Gardiner said: "The courts brought this on themselves by pampering criminals and maximizing the opportunities to escape from justice instead of maximizing the mass welfare and interests of the public. "As a consequence, rebellious elements feel they have a reasonably good license to do what they want to do." He continued: "As a trial judge, I will nevertheless take the rules as they are given to me by the rest of democracy, including the higher courts." Earlier, in a discussion with lawyer William Weissich, Gar-diner said: "If anybody throws any bombs in, we'll throw them right back out I am going to say out loud that the courts have produced this era of violence by their era of tolerance. That is my opinion. I am going to broadcast it." Fla.
