Miss Hearst, taking the stand In her own defense for the third day, said that shortly after the April IS, 1974, bank, robbery with which she is charged, Symbionese Liberation Army chieftain Donald "Cinque" DeFreeze told her, he was going to ring doorbells and tell people who he was.

He said there was so much support in the neighborhood for the SLA." Miss Hearst said DeFreeze later brought four adults and three children into the SLA hideout on Golden Gate Avenue in a predominantly black section of the city. He introduced her as "Tania," the revolutionary name given to her by the SLA. She said she saw the four adults "several times" and that they purchased groceries and supplies for the fugitives. She said three of the visitors were the same persons who refused to testify for the government last week. They were Jamellea Mumtaz, Retimah and Ronald Tate.

In addition. Miss Hearst said she met a fourth person itroduced to ber only as "Brother AH." She said she was ordered by DeFreeze to tell the visitors "that I had joined the SLA and robbed the bank voluntarily." She said today that after the holdup, SLA member Nancy Ling Perry told her she was fortunate to bave remembered instuctions to say ber name out loud during the robbery.

A executive order that takes effect March 1 also would bar infiltration of domestic organizations, drug tests on unsuspecting humans and illegally obtaining federaltax returns. The CIA would be completely barred from electronic eavesdropping inside the United States, and the National Security Agency would be prohibited from intercepting any "communication which is made from, or is intended by the sender to be received in, the United States." "Unconsented physical searches," apparently including break-ins, would be outlawed within the United States or against U.S. citizens abroad An accompanying document said that the restrictions placed on intelligence activities provided for "limited exceptions" which, for instance, would allow physical surveillance of a U.S.

citizen who is a present or former employe of an intelligence agency or one of its contractors, or is "reasonably believed to be acting on behalf of a foreign power or engaging in international terrorist or narcotics activities or activities threatening the national security." WASHINGTON (AP) President Ford today issued orders barring the CIA and other intelligence agencies from using electronic or physical surveillance to collect information on the domestic activities of most American citizens and organizations. At the same time, he proposed a stiff new secrecy law that would imposecriminal penalties against any government employe or contrator who discloses intelligence secrets. The law also would give the government new legal powers to prevent the publication of such secrets. In addition, Ford ordered all government employes with access to classified information to sign a new secrecy agreement that could make them libel to a civil suit if such information were disclosed. In a foilow-up to his Tuesday night press conference at which he announced plans for reorganizing the intelligence community, Ford also said he would support legislation requiring judicial warrants for national security wiretaps and mail opening.

In a message to Congress, Ford indicated he would seek to expand the power of the government to open mail, which is now permitted only in criminal investigations. "We need authority to open mail in order to obtain vitally needed foreign intelligence information," Ford said.

Page 12 1 Vf IK, aESMelson The misdemeanor prostitution conviction of former Austin schools athletic director Travis Raven Sr. was upheld Wednesday by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals.

Raven, who ted three Reagan High School football teams to state championships while a coach there, was convicted May 24, 1974, by a 167th District Court jury on a charge of prostitution. Raven was one of five persons charged with "compelling prostitution" a felony last March. He was tried on the compelling prostitution charge, but a six-man, six-woman jury opted to convict Raven on the lesser prostitution charge. Three of Raven's co-defendants pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of prostitution. Audrey Ayn McDonald, another co-defendant, was tried along with Raven and acquitted.

Raven was ordered to pay $200, the maximum penalty for the isdemeanor prostitution conviction. Raven resigned his job as school district athletic director two days after he was found guilty of the prostitution charge.

The three, who resigned from middle-level management positions at General Electric's nuclear division on Feb.

2 so they could focus attention on nuclear safety defects, warned today that federal regulations lack any requirement for an independent review of certain nuclear controls. They made their statement in testimony prepared for the Joint Atomic Energy Committee. The committee recommended Tuesday that a new sense of urgency be given to developing the latest line in nuclear reactors, the liquid metal fast breeder reactor. The three former General Electric officials. Dale G.

Bridenbaugh, Richard B. Hubbard and Gregory C. Minor, said in their statement, however, that the ability of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to effectively regulate the nuclear industry is suspect. By JOHN SUTTON Staff Writer Travis County Judge Mike Renfro sought a county attorney's opinion Wednesday to determine if criminal charges should be brought against Pet. 1 Commissioner David Samuelson, who allegedly used county employes and supplies to help organize the Manville Water Supply Corp.

Rcuuu said he is convinced Samuelson acted illegally. "What's the difference in a senate secretary sending government employes to work for free for the Texas Relays (track meet), and a county commissioner sending county employes to work free for a water district, at the expense of county taxpayers?" Renfro asked, referring to Secretary of the Senate Charles Schnabel. Schnabel is under five indictments, which include alleged misuse of Senate personnel. Renfro said as soon as he gets a reply from the county attorney's office, he will refer the matter to the district attorney. Asst.

County Atty. Phil Lerway said Wednesday he does not know when the opinion ill be in final form. Samuelson said Wednesday on various occasions he did use his employes and a county copying machine for water district business. But, he said he believes he was only doing his duty as county commissioner. "If providing water to our people is a crime, then it's a crime I'm proud of," Samuelson asserted.

"I supplied water that was drastically needed." The commissioner denied allegations that county stationery and stamps were used for the water district. A secretary in his precinct office handled inquiries about the water district, he said, and at his direction she would send forms to persons wishing to join the water system. These supplies and mailing expenses were paid by the water district, Samuelson explained. State records of corporation charters indicate the water district was incorporated as a non-profit concern on Nov. 21, 1969.

Samuelson is listed as the district's registered agent and one of the three original incorporators. The other two are Theodore R. Tim-merman of Pflugerville and William A. Thompson of Manor. Questions about the legality of Samuelson's conduct were raised earlier this week after three former employes indicated they had done work for the district while on the county payroll.

BREEZY DAY Spring was in the air Tuesday in the usually cool northwest region near Seattle, where surprisingly warm weather brought people out to fish and fly kites at an oceanside park as the combination of wind and sun was irresistible. The balmy weather was short-lived however, when the thickness of the clouds eventually concealed the sun and a cold rain brought the northwest weather back to normal.

A lot of the women, he said, "feel they're pace-setting and strive to outdo everyone. Some of our best workers are women."

"Of course, there's pairing off. But we don't try to establish moral codes." About 1,000 of the 16,300 workers pushing the pipeline from Prudhoe Bay on the North Slope along the Arctic Ocean to Valdei on the Pacific are women, he said.
