The Register: Danville, July 15, 1972 Activists Indicted In Conspiracy To Disrupt KejHihlican Convention TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) Six. antiwar activists were indicted by a federal grand jury Friday on charges of conspiring to disrupt next month's Republican National Convention by firing rifles and exploding bombs in the streets of Miami Beach. The indictment came only hours after the Democrats, on the last night of their national convention, passed a resolution condemned the Nixon administration for attempting to "intimidate and discredit" the Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW). The six, all members of VVAW, were accused of plotting to launch attacks on police stations, patrol cars and stores "with automatic weapons fire and incendiary devices." Held in Tallahassee under $25,000 bond were John W.

Kniffin, 32, Austin, Peter FwMahoney, 23, New Orleans; 25, Gain- coordinator Camil, Fla. FJorida Ufe, organization, also was indicted on charges of in. the use and application of- incendiary vices and possession of a chemical bomb. A fourth, Alton C. Foss, Miami, was being held in custody by U.S.

marshals in Bade County. The other two. Don Perdue of Fort Lauderdale and William. Patterson of El Paso, were being sought, according to assistant U.S. Atty.

Jack Carrouth. indictments were issued following a week-long hearing by-the'grand jury, which has recessed until Aug. 8. Meanwhile, four other members of the antiwar group are being held in Tallahassee on contempt of court charges for allegedly refusing to testify DC- fore the grand jury after being offered immunity from prosecution by the Justice Department. An attorney for the veterans immediately protested the ar rests and said motions would be filed to quash the indictments and to lower the bonds.

''Attorney Judy Peterson of Gainesville -also said a rare "closed-door bond hearing Friday morning in which only lawyers were permitted to enter the hearing room "deprived the defendants of their right to a pubiic hearing." U.S. marshals blocked newsmen attending the ar- raignment and bond hearing before U.S. Magistrate Robert C. Dean. A group of war veterans dressed in army fatigues and antiwar patches milling around outside federal court said the indictnients were an attempt by the Nixon administration to discredit the organization.

"This is another Chicago and Harrisburg," said Dave Rosen, who identified -himself as Colorado coordinator for the WAW. "They're just trying to get us out of circulation." Don Donner, a University of Arkansas student from Fayetteville, said earlier plans for a massiv demonstration now were "being de-emphasized" in favor of fund raising activities to pay for the defense of those under indictment." The indictments were brought under the same anti-conspiracy law used by the Justice Department following the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago, a prosecution which resulted in the Chicago 7 conspiracy trial. Thursday night the Democratic National Convention condemned the Nixon administration for attempting to "intimidate and discredit" the antiwar group. The resolution adopted by a voice vote on the floor protested the government's issuance of subpoenaes to "at least 21" antiwar veterans who sat out the Democratic convention in the Tallahassee federal courthouse and post office building. The indictment further accused the six of plotting to organize "fire teams" armed with automatic sveapons and incendiary devices that allegedly would disrupt Miami Beach while th Aug.

21-24 convention was in session. It charged that the six had planned to "fire lead weights, 'fried 1 marbles, ball bearings, cherry bombs and smoke bombs at means of wrist rocket slingshots and cross bows." An attempt to "disrupt communications" also was alleged. Other Vietnam veterans called before the grand jury were released from their subpoenas.

(Continued from Page One) still left the future of the championship in doubt. Thorarinsson said that if the match was stopped by Fischer's disqualification, the organizers would not pay the loser's share. This meant that Fischer could not only lose his chances at the title but a great sum of money. As the loser he would be entitled to $46,875 from the chess federation, $45,000 from a purse of about $120,000 offered by British financier James Slater, and $27,500 from television and movie rights. In a seven-page letter to Lothar Schmid, the chief referee, the American said he was told the cameras would be silent and invisible but "nothing could have been farther from the facts." He previously had told Schmid that although he could not see or hear the cameras, the knowledge that they were there made him nervous.

la his letter, however, he as sorted: "The bungling unknowns who claimed to be professional cameramen were clumsy, rude and deceitful. The only thing invisible, silent and out of sight was the fairness of the part of the organizers. "I have never compromised on anything affecting playing conditions of the game itself, which is my art and my profes sic-n. "It seemed to me that the organizers deliberately tried to upset and provoke me by the way they coddled and kowtowed to that (camera) crew.

Meanwhile, in San Clemente, Democrat John B. Connally said he will do everything in his power to help President Nixon defeat McGovern.

Connnally conferred with Nixon at the Western White House. le said he still regards himself as a Democrat, "a much better earners making more than $1.90 are limited to 5.5 per cent. The court ruling will affect nearly 20 million persons and, according to the council, will exempt more than half of the non-supervisory working force from wage controls. Jones in his 20-page opinion and order, did not spell out precisely how much money a person must make to come under the 5.5 per cent-a-year limit. But he suggested that $3.63 an hour, which figures out to about $7,000 a year for a family of four, would be reasonable.

Using Labor Department statistics, Jones' ruling means that nearly 10 million workers now making less than $3.63 an hour wilt be able to bargain with their employers for raises to that limit.

The new bomb knocked out four bridges and two military supply buildings in its first six missions, a spokesman said.

"We agreed to suppor Schmid's decision," he said "Three of us felt lhat it could not be done otherwise. There was one against." Opposing was Fred Cramer, an official of the U.S. Chess Federation, and an associate of Fischer.

The other members were Baldur Moller, an Icelandic Chess Federation official, and Nikolai Krogius, a Spassky aide. Andrew Davis, Fischer's lawyer who arrived in the morning from New York, appeared upset by the ruling. Asked if Fischer would appear for the third game Sunday, he replied: "I can't comment on that." Davis appeared before the committee along with two Russians before it began, its deliberations. Davis declared Fischer wanted the forfeited game played and deserved it because playing conditions in the hall had been ruined by the presence oi the cameras. Yefim Geller, Spassky's second, and Viktor Ivonin, from the Soviet Sports Committee, urged strict application of the tournament rules.

These provide that the clock must be started if a player doesn't appear on time for a game and after an hour the "We discussed how we wouk film," he added. "He wanted to know specifically how much money he would get. That's al he was interested in." An engineer from the Reykja vik Institute of Public Health was called in to measure the sound in the hall to see if the cameras were noisy. He concluded that the noise level was about 55 decibels with or without the cameras running. Fox later reported a conver sation he had with Fischer on Friday.

"I don't want you to take it personally," he quoted Fischer as saying in reference to his attempt to have the cameras removed, a step lhat would sink Fox's interest in the match. "Why don't you stop this nonsense?" Fox asked him. "I'd do it to anybody who got in my way," Fischer was reported as saying.

The case arose from a suit iled by AFL-OIO President eorge Meany and other unions gainst the Cost of Living louncil soon after President announced his 90-day vage freeze Aug.

The council's $1.90 "figure based on a study by the Office Management and Budget, which said that urba'n families of four with yearly incomes 'of ess than $3,968 a year are considered poor. The council said 13,968 a year works out to 11.90 per hour for a wage earner. The unions argued the $1190 igure was unrealistic and asked the court to set a higher 'igure based on a Bureau of Labor Statistics study. This Study says lhat families of four in urban areas annual incomes of less than $7,000 should be considered poor, and the unions said $3.63 should be substituted for the $1.90 figure. Jones agreed, saying congress had "rejected the poverty level earnings as prescribed by the Office of Management and Budget as a yardstick for determining exemption from wage control." "It is the clear intention of congress that the authority of this Act (the wage-price law) should not be used to penalize wage earners by relarding progress toward achievement of an adequate standard of living," Jones said.

"Certainly that standard of adequacy cannot begin much before the $7,000 a year income level is reached." Judge Jones said the Council's alarm at the prospect of an exemption from wage controls for over 50 per cent of the nonsupervisory working force is less convincing in light of its recent ruling exempting small businesses from both price and wage regulations." ppearance before the final onvention session to accept ormally the White House norni- nation.

U.S. markets would tend to dry up for foreign businessmen, because their goods would cost Americans more. American officials see this as the main reason why foreign governments keep on buying dollars at the agreed figure: exporters don't like the prospect of losing business in ica, especially just now, when Americans look like they have more money to spend.

Another reason for keeping the "Smithsonian agreement is that foreign governments don't like the prospect of marking down-the value of all the billions of dollars they own. They had to do that last year when the new rates knocked more than eight cents off the value of every dollar. More important, whenever a non-American government buys a dollar, it has to pay with its own currency. So another 3.15 marks or 301.10 yen go into the national supply of money. That makes for more money chasing the same quantity of classic recipe for inflation.

Most European governments have plenty of their own inflation to worry about, without importing any more. So they have been tightening controls to keep the dollars away. Not without some misgivings.
