Trial Of Cook County State's Attorney Hanrahan Begins CHICAGO (UPI)-The conspiracy trial of Cook County State's Attorney Edward V. Hanrahan begins today after almost 11 months of court battles in the controversial 1969 Black Panther case. Hanrahan, 51, was charged with conspiring with an assistant and 12 policemen to cover up evidence and prevent prosecution of police who raided a Black Panther apartment Dec. 4, 1969.

Hanrahan, who won renomi- nation in the Democratic primary March 21 by defeating a liberal independent and a candidate backed by Mayor Richard J. Daley, has refused to plead to the charges, saying the charges are invalid. Two young Panther leaders, Mark Clark and Fred Hampton, were killed during the raid and the seven surviving Panthers were charged with attempted murder. The gist of the indictment against Hanrahan was that he gave a grand jury evidence "which he knew or reasonably should have known to be false and inflammatory" to procure charges against the Panthers. Charges against the surviving Panthers were later dropped for lack of evidence.

A federal grand jury determined that the raiding police had fired about 100 shots and the Panthers only one, although 19 illegal weapons were found in the apartment. Hanrahan authorized the raid and has steadily defended the police when they were accused of clumsy planning, inept handling and the facts. When the indictment charging him with obstructing justice was opened in August, 1971, Hanrahan refused to enter a plea of innocent or guilty, contending the charges were invalid. He has maintained that position ever since. He contended that Barnabas Sears, the special prosecutor who obtained the indictment, had coerceii the grand jurors into returning it.

During subsequent court fights, Sears went to the Illinois Supreme Court three times, and Hanrahan unsuccessfully asked the U.S. Supreme Court to hear an appeal. The prosecution was expected to present at least 100 witnesses and six weeks of testimony. People In The News GENEVA Secretary General Kurt Waldheim revealed Tuesday some of the details of the go- between role he played in negotiations leading to the new agreement seeking unification between North and South Korea. Waldheim said he met last March in Vienna with North Korean spokesmen who gave him their attitude on various issues, reviewed contacts they had made with South Korea and offered proposals to be relayed to the South Koreans.

LOS ANGELES (UPI)-A lavish preconvention telethon, a kind of get-well card to the debt ridden Democratic party, will include an appearance by columnist Jack Anderson. Kentucky attorney John Brown, who authored the telethon idea to "get the party out of bankruptcy," said Tuesday that Anderson would appear because he's one of the most "visible men in the country." He said the Washington columnist would offer a short message regarding the "saving of the two-party system" and say that a political imbalance exists when the reigning party has "$30 million and the other is $9 million in debt." VATICAN CITY (UPI)-Pope Paul VI accepted the resignation Tuesday of Bishop Albert L. Fletcher of Little Rock, and named the Rt. Rev. Msgr.

Andrew J. McDonald to succeed him. Fletcher, 75, resigned because, of advanced age, the Vatican said. He has served in his native Little Rock for 32 years, since 1946 as bishop. McDonald, 48, of Savannah, presently is vicar general of Savannah.

LONDON (UPI)-The man who put up the money which apparently persuaded Bobby Fischer to fly to Iceland for the world champion chess matches expressed dismay Tuesday when he learned that Russian champion Boris Spassky would not agree to start play. "That is indeed disappointing," said James Slater, the British banker who offered to contribute an additional $125,000 to double the prize money of which the winner will get about 60 per cent. HINTS FROM HELOISE This Is 'Corker' Of A Hint Dear Heloise: Our son went sailboating and was wearing his glasses with an elastic headband to hold them on. However, something brushed upward against the back of his head and off went the glasses into the "drink." It was one of those freak accidents, but it might as well have happened in the mid- glasses were long gone! Now we have "twenty- twenty" hindsight and NEW glasses. To keep from having any more such accidents, we decided to fasten a good-sized cork (one on each side of his glasses) using a STRONG rubber band around the cork- banding them to the ear pieces of the glasses at the temples.

This, of course, whould be tested at home first to make sure the corks are large enough for the weight of the glasses. Be sure they WILL float. The elastic headband will stffl be used to hold them in place but the corks are better "insurance" than the fifty deductible kind! -Margaret Johnson wish I could come up with an idea to match only I need one for locating glasses that are misplaced. I can never find those confounded "specs" of mine and do believe they have legs because I find them in the oddest places. Heloise LETTER OF LAUGHTER Dear Heloise: I am pleased to see the number of people who have quit smoking and hope to see their number increase.

This leaves the car ashtray empty and, besides using it for change to be used when feeding the parking meters, it also comes in handy for earrings that don't pinch until you're on the freeway. Corey Junkin see if it was possible to freeze bananas. The cookbooks said if they were mashed and frozen In small quantities it was possible. Since only one cup of mashed bananas is called for in most recipes and I didn't have any one-cup containers, I decided to freeze them in my muffin tins lined with their paper liners. I measured one half cup into each.

When solidly frozen, slipped them into a bag and put back into the freezer. The muffin tins are then free for baking and when you need a cup of mashed bananas just take two instead of one. This comes in mighty handy on a cold morning when you feel like baking but don't seem to have a thing in the house. Mrs. A.B.N.

Dear Heloise: I never realized there were so many things you- could do with bananas until one day my husband-to-be brought me home forty pounds of bananas because I love to cook. You can make only so many loaves of banana bread and THIS COLUMN is written for you the housewife and homemaker. If you have a hint or a problem write to Heloise in care of this newspaper. Because of the tremendous volume of mail, Heloise is unable to answer all individual letters. She will, however, answer youi questions in her column whenever possible.

Television In Review By RICK DU BROW HOLLYWOOD (UPI) The July 4 fireworks may be over, but televiewers now can pre-, pare for the political fireworks of the Democratic National Convention next week. Live gavel-to-gavel coverage of the four-day event, that begins Monday at Miami Beach will be presented by CBS-TV and NBC-TV, starting about 7 p.m. EDT each day. ABC-TV, meanwhile, again will go with its summary-style prime time broadcasts of each night's doings, beginning at 9:30 p.m. EDT, and planned for at least 90 minutes.

These programs will have the flexibility to switch to live proceedings or extend their air time if the situation warrants. Non-commercial television's Public Broadcasting Service Network will also offer convention coverage, but there is little doubt that most Americans will watch the politicking on commercial video. CBS-TV's Anchorman CBS-TV's anchorman will be Walter Cronkite. The other networks have teams for the same chore: John Chancellor and David Brinkley for NBC- TV; Howard K. Smith and Harry Reasoner for ABC- TV; and," over at PBS, a couple of former NBC hands, Sander Vanocur and Robert MacNeil.

Televiewers, however, will not have to wait until Monday for noteworthy video events related to the convention. On Saturday, for instance, starting at 10 p.m. EDT, ABC-TV will present a live, 19-hour, celebrity-filled, fund-raising telethon by the Democratic National Committee to help solve some of the party's financial problems. The marathon broadcast will end on the eve of the convention. Viewers of the telethon will be asked for donations, and ABC- TV says the Democrats have "established 32 regional telephone centers, employing 10,000 telephones, to which calls can be placed by the public.

Among the more than 150 entertainment and sports personalities expected to appear on the telethon, either from Hollywood or Miami Beach, or in previously taped segments, are: Lauren Bacall, Burt Bacharach, Warren Beatty, Milton Berle, Henry Fonda, Lorne Greene, Gene Hackman, Alan King, Jack Klugman, Shirley MacLairie, Henry Mancini, Paul Newman, Groucho Marx, Carroll O'Connor, George Plimpton, Tony Randall, Carl Reiner, Debbie Reynolds, Tommy Smothers, Mario Thomas, Leslie Uggams, Andy Williams, Shelley Winters and pro football players John Brodie, Dick Butkis and Gale Sayers. Film Clips There will be film clips in which people around the country say what they think about the state of the nation. And a 30-minute film about assassinated Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, "RFK Remembered," will be shown twice.

Head of the telethon committee and chief promoter of the big broadcast is John Y. Br board chairman of Kentucky Fried Chicken Financially speaking, might say that the Democrats are coming in on a wing and a prayer. Back at NBC-TV Sunday, there will also be a noteworthy preconvention program: A special two-hour edition of "Meet the Press" in which newsmen will question six contenders for the Democratic presidential Hubert Humphrey, George McGovern, Edmund Muskie and Henry Jackson, Gov. George Wallace and Rep. Shirley Chisholm.

Air time is 1 n.m. EDT. Two Killed In Blaze INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) Mrs. Charlene Matthews, 41, Indianapolis, and her Infant granddaughter were killed late Monday night when fire struck at a home on the Southeast side of Indianapolis. Dana Matthews, six months, and her grandmother perished when Mrs.

Denise Matthews, 15, the infant's mother, said she and her mother smelted smoke and while the older woman ran to rescue the baby she left the house seeking help.
