But Capitol Police Chief James M. Powell also agreed with senators seeking an upgrading of the quality of his staff and guaranteeing the public's right to visit the historic structure.

Responsibility for the bombing was claimed in a letter received today by The Associated Press and signed by "The Weather Underground." "We have attacked the Capitol because it is, along with the White House and the Pentagon, the worldwide symbol of the government here and in Latin America, Africa and Asia, it is a monument to US domination over the planet," the letter said. The air mailed, special delivery letter was postmarked Monday from Elizabeth, N.J. The Senate Public Works subcommittee on public buildings and grounds heard Senate Sergeant At Arms Robert G. Dun-phy term the Capitol "a Swiss chcese-it is just full of passages and tunnels." Sen. Mike Gravel, D-Alaska, chairman of the subcommittee investigating the bombing which shattered rooms beneath the Senate chamber Monday, said the panel "wants to determine how the security of the Capitol was breached." He said it would study existing laws and "determine if they need strengthening to prevent similar" explosions in the future.

The building, he added, "must be protected so that the work we do here can continue without intimidation and threat, but it must also be freely accessible to the public as a symbol of the national liberty we cherish." Atty. Gen. John N. Mitchell said at the White House there was no indication as yet the bombing "might have been the result of a conspiracy." Pressed as to what he thought it might have been, Mitchell replied it was "something less than a' conspiracy." The attorney general said he and President Nixon discussed the bombing during a White House meeting this morning and also what services the executive (Continued on Page 17) yd" i -Art I i VT mmmmmmm, i "4 Filibuster Foes Lose Third Round Unanimous Ruling By High Court Poor 'ay.

The decision apparently would knock down statutes and affect countless prisoners in virtually every state, county and city in the nation where local law provides that indigents "work out" unpaid fines in jail. The court acted in the case of Preston A.

Included among recipients of the contributions was $30,000 to a dinner for Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey in 1968 and various others.

Two other United Mine Worker officials named in the same indictment were John Owens, secretary-treasurer, and James Kmetz, director of UMW's political arm, the Non-Partisan League. Atty. Gen. John N. Mitchell said the 13-count indictment was returned in U.S.
