She and Miss Good have referred to an "International People's Court of Retribution." A week after Miss Fromme's arrest, Miss Good released a list of about 70 business and government leaders to the media. Asst U.S. Attorney Bruce Babcock said a man, identified only as Michael Davies, was asked by the women to mail the letters on Sept 5, the day Miss Fromme was arrested, but he turned them over to the FBI. Miss Good, dressed in blue with a turban-like scarf around her light brown hair, said they were not surprised to be arrested and the fact that they did not flee was evidence that they could be safely released on their own recognizance.

"We knew of our arrests for some time," said Miss Good. "We could have gone to Europe or Australia." Both women said they wanted to represent themselves when Wilkins asked if they could afford counsel. "I don't trust lawyers," said Miss Good. "They lie repeatedly. I don't want any of that around me." Miss Murphy, who wore a brown pants suit, remained quiet through most of the hearing, speaking only when questioned by the clerk or the judge.

(AP) Two of Lynette Frorame's close friends said Tuesday they should be freed without bail and allowed to defend themselves against charges of conspiring to mail 171 threatening letters to business and government leaders.

Sandra Good, 31, a former roommate of Miss Fromme and sister disciple of convicted mass murderer Charles Manson, and Susan Murphy, 33, a former nurse, made the requests at their arraignment on the federal grand jury indictment No pleas were entered. U.S. District Court Judge Philip C. Wil-kins did not rule on either request, scheduling a bail hearing this morning and putting over other proceedings to Jan. 6.

The women were held in county jail in lieu of $50,000 bond each. Miss Good, a daughter of a San Diego stockbroker, told reporters when the two women were arrested Monday, "This is a conspiracy, to mail threatening letters to get people to stop polluting the earth." Miss Fromme, sentenced last week to life in prison after she was convicted of attempting to assassinate President Ford, also was vocal about her concern for the environment. She called for a halt to the cutting of redwoods, warning that "the gun is pointed." Miss Fromme was named as an Patty won't be allowed holiday gifts REDWOOD CITY (AP) Along with the other prisoners in the San Mateo County Jail, Patricia Hearst will not be allowed to receive Christmas presents from home. But the 21-year-old newspaper heiress will be allowed to join other women prisoners in an exchange of "gift subsitutes" and in a Christmas dinner that will include turkey, mashed potatoes and ice cream. The gift substitutes are the idea of Bertha Coulston, wife of a Redwood City minister, who will conduct a Christmas morning service at the jail.

Mrs. Coulston said she will call on the women inmates to each write a compliment about another woman in the jail. The slips of paper will then be exchanged and read aloud. Miss Hearst has been in the jail since her capture Sept 18 in San Francisco. She faces trial Jan.

Guilty plea entered in Nazis death POMONA (AP) A 19-yearold man pleaded guilty Tuesday to second-degree murder in the fatal shooting of local ex-Nazi leader Joe Tommasi outside the American Nazi party's West Coast headquarters. Tomassi, 24, had been perhaps the best-known member of the National Socialist White People's Party in El Monte, heading a group of some 25 white males until he split from the group in an obscure ideological feud two years ago. Officials said the defendant Jerry K. Jones, El Monte, had drawn his gun along with Clyde F.

WASHINGTON (AP) Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger said Tuesday the United States is engaged in a major effort, both at the diplomatic and battlefield levels, to encourage Soviet restraint in the Angola conflict and to promote Angolan self-determination.

Kissinger outlined his case for a limited U.S. involvement in Angola, using a revised and updated version of the domino theory, the basis for the American commitment in Vietnam. "Failure to resist will lead other countries to conclude that their situation is precarious," Kissinger told a 45-minute news conference devoted almost entirely to the Angola war. If the United States permits a Soviet-dominated government to emerge in Angola, he said, it will be an "invitation" to Moscow to engage in similar interventions elsewhere. He said congressional opposition Sen.

Fannin wont seek re-election WASHINGTON (AP) Sen. Paul J. Fannin, announced Tuesday he will not seek re-election next year. Fannin was first elected to the Senate in 1904 and reelected in 1970. Before that he served three terms as governor of Arizona.

He said in a statement that "during recent months I have realized more than ever before I could not continue for a third term the pace of working more than 12 hours daily." Fannin, whose home is in Phoenix, will be 69 years old next month. He is the sixth senator to announce he will retire next year. The others are Senate Republican Leader Hugh Scott of Pennsylvania.

This "must lead to an extremely dangerous situation," he said. Without giving details, Kissinger said the United States is making a "major effort, both diplomatically and on the ground, to make do with what we have." On the diplomatic level, Kissinger reported "many positive responses" from African countries in recent days. He was apparently referring to American efforts to Insure that the Organization of African Unity condemns the Soviet role in Angola at its summit meeting next month.

The meeting is aimed at finding a President extending VAIL, President Ford signed legislation preventing an income tax increase while he flew to Colorado Tuesday to begin an eight-day Christmas skiing vacation. the tax cut extension bill, which Ford signed only after Congress included a nonbinding pledge to hold down federal expenditures, blocked a tax raise that could have cost an average worker as much as $6 a week beginning Jan. 1. The President's holiday, however, off to a somewhat rocky start Irst he was tripped by dogs on the White House lawn. Hours later, he was struck by a chair while waiting for the chairlift to carry him to the slopes atop Vail Mountain.

The mishaps began when Ford walked out of the White House to a waiting helicopter. He was holding two of the family's retrievers on leashes when the hounds started circling, wrapping the leashes around the President's legs. At one point, Ford stumbled over the leashes. At Vail, Ford was waving to well-wishers while waiting for the chairlift He slowly backed into the aid. One of them was Gov.

Miss Murphy Joined the group more recently. Wilkins said he hoped the women would change their minds about representing themselves. "I do want you to know I urge you to have an attorney," he told them. Babcock said Miss Fromme was not indicted because prosecutors were satisfied with results of her trial, and the indictment against Miss Good and Miss Murphy was not sought sooner because of the Fromme trial.

FTC wants ban on eyeglass ads lifted WASHINGTON (AP) Despite state and private restrictions to the contrary, eye doctors and makers of eyeglasses and contact lenses would be free to advertise prices under a regulation proposed Tuesday by the Federal Trade Commission. The announcement came Just a day after the FTC filed a complaint against the American Medical Association for prohibiting medical doctors across the country from advertising their services and prices.

Optometrists and ophthalmologists now are forbidden in every state, either by local law or their own professional associations, from advertising prices, a commission spokesman said. In addition, it is unlawful in 24 states for opticians eyeglass manufacturers to advertise prices. Penalties range up to six months in jail. Optometrists and ophthalmologists both can fit eyeglasses and contact lenses. Ophthalmologists, as qualified physicians, also can treat diseases and perform surgery.

The proposed regulation would apply to alTophthalmic goods and services," meaning anything relating to eye care. The commission characterized the proposal as one that would promote competition and enable consumers to choose more wisely.

moratorium ruled constitutional WASHINGTON (AP) Eleven presidential candidates got their Christmas bonuses Tuesday when the Federal Election Commission approved the first installment of government campaign subsidies that will help them run for the White House in 1976. The commission issued certificates to the Treasury, which will make the campaign aid payments after Jan. 1. The candidates can claim a total of $1,880,50221 and there is more where that came from. In addition, the six-member election commission authorized payments totaling $710,000 to the Democratic and Republican national committees for early expenditures on their 1976 presidential nominating conventions.

Under the law enacted as an antidote to Watergate, presidential candidates can get up to $5 million apiece in federal aid to match campaign contributions of $250 or less. But they do not get the money until their eligibility, and their contributions, are audited and certified by the Federal Election Commission. Sen. Lloyd Bentsen, gets the biggest initial payment: $492,02934. President Ford Is entitled to $374,422.10.

And former Gov. Terry Sanf ord of North Carolina, a Democrat, gets $214,050.27.

R.

P. Narioch, a state Department of Justice crime analyst, said in an interview that there were 1,506 willful homicides reported by California law enforcement agencies through September this year. That compared to 133 willful homicides in the same period last year the first year the state's new death penalty law was on the books in California. In the first nine months of 1973, when no death penalty was in effect in California, there were 1,256 willful homicides reported, he added. State Sen.

George Deukmejian, the Long Beach Republican who authored the death penalty law that went into effect Jan. 1, 1974, said the new statistics should not be interpreted as evidence the law is ineffective. He said the statistici supported his view that no law will "be effective unless It is enforced." There are now 33 men on San Quentin's Death Row and one woman facing the death penalty in the state prison at Frontera, state prison officials said last week. No one has been executed because all the cases are on appeal. Deukmejian criticized the state Supreme Court for not acting quickly to hear at least one of the death penalty cases.

All death penalty sentences hive been sent on automatic appeal to the state's high court "I do think the people of California deserve a decWve adjudication of the California cases if the public ii going to have any confidence in the Judicial system," he said. On Feb. 18, 1972, the state Supreme Court ruled the death penalty unconstitutional on state constitution grounds. Then a pro-death penalty measure was placed on the November 1972 ballot, Prop. 17, amending the California Constitution.

Voters approved the measure by a 2-1 margin. Prop. 17 gave the legislature the authority to adopt a new death penalty law. The legislature did that, establishing a mandatory death penalty for 11 categories of murder Including multiple murders. Gov.

Ronald Reagan signed the bill into law. Other categories requiring the death penalty under the Deukmejian law are NEW YORK (AP) The three-year moratorium on $1.6 billion in New York City notes, part of an elaborate plan to bail out the financially strapped city, was declared constitutional in state court on Tuesday. Judge Harold Baer of State Supreme Court ruled on a suit brought by the Flushing National Bank, holder of between $400,000 and $500,000 of the city notes. The bank challenged the constitutionality of the debt moratorium and said it would appeal the ruling to the Court of Appeals, the state's highest court Under the arrangement agreed to by the city, state and federal government a month ago designed to avert default, holders of city notes maturing Dec. 11 to March 12 have been invited to swap them for Municipal Assistance Corp.
