His lengthy instructions gave the "law" in the case which the jurors must follow and ranged from a distinction between direct and circumstantial evidence to the elements of "first degree murder, second degree murder and manslaughter. At the outset of his charge, Judge Friedman cautioned the jury that the "law forbids you to be governed by mere sentiment, conjecture, sympathy, passion, prejudice, public opinion or public feelings." He gave the jury the standard instruction on the presumption of innocence and the legal doctrine of reasonable doubt. The court said: "A defendant in a criminal action is presumed to be innocent until the contrary is proved, and in the case of a reasonable doubt whether his guilt is satisfactorily shown, he is entitled to an acquittal. "Reasonable doubt is defined as follows: It is not a mere possible doubt; because everything relating to human affairs, and depending on moral evidence, is open to some possible or imaginary doubt. "It is that state of the case, which, after the entire comparison and consideration of all the evidence, leaves the minds of the jurors in that condition that they cannot say Continued Page 7, Col.

The announcement today by board chairman Ed- gar F. Kaiser said completion is anticipated by the fall of 1970. Jurors Select Negro Foreman By JEFF MORGAN The Huey Newton murder case went to the jury today and the seven women and five men immediately elected the lone Negro among them their foreman. David B.

Harper, an Oakland banker, was chosen foreman as the jury began its deliberations. Superior Court Judge Monroe Friedman put Newton's guilt or innocence of murdering an Oakland policeman in the hands of the jury at 10:27 a.m. The courtroom was filled as the judge carefully read his instructions to the jury for 40 minutes before sending them to a locked, eighth-floor jury room. The court was locked and no one allowed in or out as Judge Friedman told the jurors they must decide the case without letting "sentiment, conjecture, sympathy, passion, prejudice, public opinion or public feeling' influence their decision. Four alternate jurors were sent to a separate room jn custody of a bailiff.

Judge Friedman warned them not to discuss the case. Before court opened about two dozen Black Panthers paraded in military like formation outside the courthouse. A helmeted deputy sheriff watched, arms folded, behind the courthouse 'doors across Fallon Street. When court convened some of the Panthers left by auto-mobile, saying they were going to their Grove Street headquarters. Five continued drilling for a while.

Two carried larjje blue Black Panther Party flags. Later they moved downtown to publicize a 5 p.m. rally they planned at de- Fremery Park. The trial is ending its eighth week. Yesterday afternoon Prosecutor Lowell Jensen concluded the final rebuttal in his attempt 16, prove that Newton killed Oakland Police Officer John Frey and wounded Officer Herbert Heanes.

"It is a sad and melancholy truth that Huey Newton, the man in this court, is a murderer. Jensen told the jury. a 1 i in the afternoon Jensen passionately denied charges by defense attorney Charles Garry that Oakland police framed Newton and that the district attorney's Continued Page 7, Col. 1 'Scrap The Girdle Say Girls NEW YORK (AP) "No more Miss America." That's the rallying cry for a group of feminine activists who plan to picket the Miss America pageant in Atlantic City, N.J., Saturday. They say the contest presents a phony, degrading and ludicrous image of American womanhood.

Highlight of the demonstration will be a "huge, freedom trash can" into which the girls will throw such items as bras, girdles, curlers and false eyelashes. All these things said Miss Robin Morgan, their leader, are symbols of a false beauty standard. Continued Page 6, Col. 8 U.S. Spurs Missile Defenses WASHINGTON (AP) Sec-" retary of Defense Clark M.

Robert Finch, a former aide to Nixon who is forming his California campaign organization. About 1,000 people were at the airport to greet Nixon. Among the many signs held aloft were some reading, "Berkeley for Nixon," "Welcome to Nixon Country" and "California for Nixon." Red, yellow and green balloons floated in the air. Nixon came here after his campaign kickoff in Chicago yesterday drew thousands of cheering spectators who jammed the city streets where demonstrators battled with police during the Democratic-National Convention only a week ago. As in Chicago, Nixon was accompanied by U.S.

Senators Edward W. Brooke of Massachusetts and Thruston Morton of Kentucky, both of whom favored New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller at the Republican convention. Also in the Nixon party were his wife, Patricia, his daughters Tricia and Julie, and Julie's fiance, David grandson of the president with whom Nixon served as vice president for eight years. In Chicago early today, before leaving for San Francisco, he told a press conference that the rioting there last week "was not the agony of Chicago and was not even the agony of the Democratic Party.

It was the agony of America." Nixon said he would not comment "in a political context." "I think both Hubert Humphrey and I have a responsibility to discuss the broader aspects of the whole situation," Nixon said. He said there was a need to establish the "limit of dissent" consistent with law and order. He said he read there had been some provocation in bat-1 1 between demonstrators and police. "But we cannot have sympathy for provocation that goes beyond peaceful discontinued Page 6. Col.

The NATO defense planning committee in Brussels announced a revamping of military strength and deployment of forces, a move similar to that considered by the U.S.

National Security Council yesterday in Washington. Administration sources in Washington have disclosed that the NSC seeks a joint pledge by NATO members that they will maintain the present level of forces. Previously, in conformance with a general European feeling that the U.S.S.R. was ready to reach a pacific understanding with the Western powers, reductions in military strength were widely considered. British plans were definite and the United States already had withdrawn about 34,000 men from the Continent.

The Americans are expected to be re-deployed, probably to West Germany. Now, the defense planning committee has "deplored the fact" that planned force reductions "had suffered a severe setback" because of the Czechoslovak crisis. The committee recommended NATO members maintain Continued Page 6, Col. 1 Overflowing trash bins 1 TTT btories The new building will front on Valdez Street between 21st and 22nd streets. A pedestrian bridge over 21st Street will connect it to the Kaiser Center complex of offices, shopping malls, parking garage and roof garden.

the existing building the new high rise will have 28 stories. But because its ground level is eight feet higher than the Lake shore site and because it will be slightly taller than the existing building (403 feet compared to 390 feet) the new building will be 21 feet higher. The new building, 185 feet long and 130 feet wide, will have an "H-shape" design with the inset on either end providing light for corridors. The design will complement the curved lakefront elevation of the present building. Population of the new building will total 2,400 compared, with 2,900 now working in Kaiser Center.

Gross square footage of the new fully air-conditioned building, including two basements, will be 700,000 compared with 980,000 in the existing building, completed in 1960. Affiliated Kaiser industries will occupy half of the office space from the outset. Kaiser anticipates all of it will be needed within 10 years for its expanding branches. The existing building filled much more rapidly than was originally expected. The new building will contain 25 floors of office space.

The mayors, meeting last night in Union City, also decided to urge their city councils to send similar telegrams.

They also heard a plea by a representative of the National Alliance of Businessmen for, help in finding jobs for the' hard core unemployed. Hayward Mayor John K. Smith and Fremont Mayor Geoffery Steel reported they have learned that Gov. Ronald Reagan will place the BART crisis before state legislators when they convene next week to act on the gover- nor's vetoes. Steel said State Sen.

Lewis F. Sherman, R-Alameda County, who previously has not been involved in the efforts to get BART $144 million, is to act as the "great compromiser." "I think the timing is now right," Smith said. "It's time our legislators, regardless of their party, act responsibly in this matter." BART within a. few months will be unable toQ issue further construction contracts and the system will remain unfinished until the funds are obtained. "That bogging down is already taking place," he said, noting the BART has been unable to place an order for its first 250 passenger cars.
