(AP Wirephoto) INDICTED IN CHICAGO VIOLENCE-These four persons are among 12 alleged SDS Weatherman leaders who were indicted by a Chicago federal grand jury on charges of conspiring to travel interstate "with the intent to incite, organize, promote, encourage, SAN FRANCISCO (AP) A federal Judge has ruled that the government must prove "overriding national interests" are at stake before it can require a reporter to disclose "confidential associations" to a grand jury investigating the Black Panthers. In making the ruling Friday, Judge Alfonso J. Zirpoli said, however, that the reporter, Earl Caldwell of the New York Times, must appear before the grand jury as a "public duty which every person within the jurisdiction of the government is bound to perform." Zirpoli said the 2'i-hour hearing in U.S.

District Court on motions to quash two subpoenas served, on Caldwell presented "issues that go to the very core of the First Amendment." He said they were "issues of significant magnitude the resolution of may well be determinative of the scope of the journalist's privilege in sensitive areas of freedom of speech, press and association not heretofore fully explored and decided by the Supreme Court of the United States." The judge stayed his order pending appeal to the 9th Circuit of the U.S. Court of Appeals, provided notice of appeal is filed within 20 days. U.S. Atty. James Browning Jr.

said the government has not yet decided whether to appeal to higher courts. That decision would be made by the solicitor general, he said. Attorneys for Caldwell and The Times said they also will study the feasibility of an appeal. In New York, A. M.

Rosenthal, Times managing editor, said Caldwell told him by phone that "he feels very happy about the whole thing. He feels the decision is a good one and, I'm sure, so do we." At the beginning of the hearing, government attorneys agreed with Zirpoli's suggestion that they withdraw a subpoena issued in February requiring that Caldwell appear with notes and recordings of interviews with Black Panther leaders. A later subpoena ordered only that the Negro reporter appear for questioning. But Zirpoli said Caldwell "need not reveal confidential associations that impinge upon the effective exercise of the First Amendment right to gather news for dissemination to the public through the press until such time as a compelling and overriding national interest which cannot be alternatively served has been established to the satisfaction of the court." The Associated Press, Newsweek magazine, and the Columbia Broadcasting System and five of its newscasters, acting as friends of the court, filed briefs in support of the move to quash the subpoenas.

CHICAGO (AP) The conspiracy indictment against 12 members of the Weathermen faction of Students for a Democratic Society charges that Weathermen spent part of the summer of 1969 in Ohio plotting and carrying out a conspiracy. The making of speeches and the holding of Karate lessons in Ohio and other states, the indictment maintains, were in preparation for disturbances in Chicago Oct.

8 11, in which youths ran amok, breaking windows, smashing parked cars and attacking policemen. In July and August of 1969, the indictment charges that several Weathermen traveled to Akron and Cleveland with the intent of inciting riots and that on two occasions actually urged "Assem-bleges of persons" to riot. Most active in the Ohio incidents, the indictment indicates, Terry Robbins, former SDS regional coordinator for Ohio, where he was active in the 1968 and 1969 demonstrations at Kent State University. The son of a Scarsdale, N.Y. tailor, Robbins was a founder of the Weatherman faction.

According to the indictment, Robbins allegedly conspired when he spoke to a gathering in Columbus 16 and when he transported printed materials from Chicago to Columbus the same day.

CLEVELAND, Ohio (AP) -A coroner's report indicates that an East Side teacher whose body was found Friday in a shallow grave may have been buried alive. Dr. Samuel R. Gerber, the Cuyahoga County coroner, said dirt and sand found in the respiratory passages of Mrs. Adel-la Preston indicate she was still breathing when she was buried.

Dr. Gerber said Mrs. Preston, 40, had been beaten savagely. The body was found Friday after police, acting on an anonymous telephone call, dug into a brush-covered hillside at the east end of the Kinsman Road bridge at East 66th Street. Mrs.

Preston, a divorcee, was reported missing by neighbors March 11. Police said her home on Edgewood Avenue had been ransacked and her car was missing. Bloodstains were found in the basement and on a stairway leading to a side door. The car was found two days later parked on a Cleveland street. The grave site is not far from where two mutilated torsos were found in 1935.

Those slay-ings and eight similar killings in the next three years became known as the "Kingsbury Run murders." None of them was solved. Detectives said several persons will be asked to take lie-detector tests in connection with the latest slaying. Saxbe Notes Politics In Carswell Dispute 350 Musicians In Band Concert Three hundred and fifty young musicians participated in the Buckeye Conference Band Festival Friday at Ross high school. Four high school bands united to play a public concert in the evening in the high school gymnasium for an enthusiastic but rather small audience. A program of diversified music was presented by the Findlay high school band, directed by Clifford Hite; the Mansfield high school band, directed by Percy Hall, the Marion-Harding band, directed by Edward Miller, and the Fremont Ross Symphonic band with Frank Menichetti, director.

The festival began in the afternoon for the young people with the Faculty Brass Quintet of Bowling Green State university playing for band members in the Little Theater. A demonstration clinic was conducted for brass players attending the festival after the concert by the visiting quintet. Saxbe said that because of the partisan nature of the debate over the Carswell appointment and because Democrats outnumber Republicans in the Senate, there still is a question whether the President's nomination of Carswell will be confirmed by the Senate.

Auto Hits Steer A steer owned by Chester CLEVELAND, Ohio (AP) Sen.

William B. Saxbe, R-Ohio, says that opposition to the appointment of Judge G. Harrold Carswell to the U.S. Supreme Court is based solely along partisan political lines. He told a news conference Friday that no "substantial" argument had been presented against the appointment.

"I think those who are against his appointment are just trying to repeal the (presidential) election of 1968," he said. Referring to the intensive committee hearings on Cars-well's nomination, Saxbe said: "I just wonder how many men on the court now could stand up to the tests Judge Carswell has had to undergo." He denied reports that he was committed to voting for Cars-well's appointment, but said he thought Carswell "could be a fair and competent judge." Around About Fremont JAMES J.
