judgesstiil give jail for the Sixth Circuit in the terms to militant leaders of the dnc draft resistance movement and to defendants who appear insinpere or frivolous And even injUalifornia a few judges insist-sending all resisters to prison As a result the whole process is a little like Russian roulette In Los Angeles if a defendant appears before Judge Harry Pregerson or Judge A Andrew Hauk he is likely to receive probation But if the federal magistrate randomly assi case to Judge Charles Carr or Judge Manuel Real the same young man could well receive a three-year prison sentence -Judge Hauk one of the first judges to grant probation reflected the views of many of his colleagues when he said: The gross disparity in sentencing canfbe justified But as Robert Latta chief probation officer for central California put it: The law doesnt always change as fast as public attitudes and that puts the courts in a very difficult position In general however the trend is clearly toward more liberal practices A survey of judges Exchange and chairman of the Port of New York Authority Hes trying to be Robin Hood he continued "taking from the rich and giving to the poor Maybe there are more poor people in the country and he thinks he can get elected that way but I dont think thats the way to run things public's views on the war have changed and I take that into consideration Judges have decided that many draft boards are too cursory or too strict in refusing applications for conscientious objector status They have also been deeply impressed with the intelligence and sincerity of many of the defendants who come before them Judge Richard Freeman of Atlanta recently placed a young man on probation in essence giving him a judicial CO and declared: I refuse to adopt the position that Ive got to abide ty the outcome of the Draft Board hearing Some defendants were going to jail only because their religion prohibited them from volunteering for two years of public service work But judges found that many of them particularly Jehovahs Witnesses would perform two years of service if ordered to do so as a condition of probation Many judges and probation officers are increasingly reluctant to send any defendants to prison whatever 'their offense and expose them to a school for crime and homosexual attacks In addition Judge Hauk of Los Angeles said that probation is far cheaper since it keeps a man out of prison and his family off welfare and allows him to earn money and pay taxes Thu us 650 young men like Alan Kent were sentenced to probation in 1971 The only

area of concern to financial men If the South Dakotan is going to make major proposals for economic reform and later retreat from them under fire they say then the convictions behind the proposals

Dear Pete Merriam recalled this-occasion in his letter noting that when Mr Geneen lunched with Sou a few weeks ago he stated feared iTTs 70 per cent owned Chilean Telephone Co (Chiltelco) would soon be expropriated This has now In telephone interviews on Friday and Saturday Peterson confirmed after -checking his files that he had lunch with Geneen on Sept 14 at Merriam suggestion He said that because of the security aspects of the Chilean situation he had asked Brig Gen Alexander Haig Jr deputy assistant (under Henry A Kissinger) for national security affairs to be present Peterson said that the lunch with Geneen came at the time when the Nixon administration was engaged in formulating a policy on how to deal with foreign nations expropriating US private investments A policy providing for curtailment of US official credit directly or through international financial institutions was announced by President Nixon nearly four months later on Jan 3 But Peterson said that although Geneen had spoken at length of the ITTs problems in Chile the companys president had refrained during the lunch from pressing for any specific US policies toward the Allende regime Again after consulting his files Peterson said that he had indeed received the Oct 1 1971 letter from Merriam but he said that he had no recollection of reading the attached "action" memorandum and that this document was not in his files He said that he did not reply to Merriam letter because he did not consider it necessary On Oct 23 1970 10 days before Allendes inauguration Merriam wrote a letter to Kissinger the Presidents special assistant for national security affairs stressing that "ITT has given serious consideration to circumstances now facin hemisphere development an that we are convinced the present moment is a most expedient time to reappraise and strengthen US policy in Latin America" Kissinger replied briefly on Nov 9 telling Merriam that 'it is very helpful to have your thoughts and recommendations and we shall certainly take them 'Into account ft 1 The existence of the October 1971 ITT documents on Chile coincidentally came to light after the Senate Foreign Relations Committee decided in executive session last Tuesday to shelve in effect its planned hearings 'on the giant corporations involvement in foreign policy The committee presided by Sen JW Fulbright D-Ark had voted last March to hold bearings following the disclosure by Anderson of the ITT internal documents But last Tuesday the committee agreed to combine the hearings with a long-range stiuly of multinational corporations A committee staff memorandum on "ITT activities in Chity" presented to committee members on June 21 and made available to the New York Times by a member who asked not to be identified said that among "several hundred pages" of papers obtained by the staff from the ITT there were documents reporting assurances of United States assistance both material and financial to the Chilean military in the event of a coup d'etat in 1970 The papers produced by Anderson referred both to vague NOTICE DONALD SAWYER Certified Hearing Aid Audiologist WILL BE AT VERMONT

decided that the Spassky-Fischer match never legally started there will be no problem But if the match has indeed started Spassky will be the automatic winner because of Fischers disqualification and he will be entitled to demand 625 per cent of the 1 3125000 purse Fischer will be entitled to nothing The Russians already are claiming that the match officially started with Saturday night's claim there can be no legal start to any chess match until the first move is made and the clock is punched Euwe said that there was nothing in the International Chess Federation rules to cover this
