i 0000 2 Friday, June 13, 1075 Hillsboro, Press Gazette Assassination Plot On Trujillo Unveiled led WASHINGTON (AP) Members of the House intelligence committee say they were told sketchy details of CIA involvement in an assassination plot against the late Dominican Republic President Rafael Trujillo, but some members were uncertain whether that was the plot that ultimatelv led to the dictator's murder. Only one five members interviewed said Thursday that a very brief report to last. week would support a 'statement by Rep. James V. Stanton, D-Ohio, that the CIA was involved in the successful assassination of a foreign leader.

Rep. Ronald V. Dellums, contending that what the panel was told about the 1961 Trujillo assassination would support Stanton's statement, said Trujillo's killing "could be traced to actions that were taken by the CIA." He declined to give details, and Stanton refused to say whether he knows more than the committee was told in 'a secret session last week or whether he in fact is referring to the Trujillo assassination. Trujillo, a long-time dictator of the Dominican Republic, was shot down by assassins as he drove outside Santo Domingo. Former CIA agent Philip B.

Agee, in his book "Inside the Company," quotes a former CIA official as saying the agency was "deeply involved in planning the assassination, which was done by Cuban exiles from Miami using weapons we sent through a diplomatic pouch." But another member of the House panel, Rep. Michael Harrington, D- said that if Stanton's statement is based on what the committee was told last week "it cannot be supported." Without- giving details, Harrington Tells Grads To Combat Problems ms COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) America must give up the attitude that there are simplistic answers to complicated problems, Ambassador to India William B. Saxbe told 5,100 graduates of Ohio State University today. "We must give up the attitude that we can solve our domestic and foreign problems with a lick and a our governing bodies can be allowed to postpone or avoid going to the mat with tough questions, Saxbe said in remarks prepared for the school's annual spring commencement. It was a family affair for the ambassador whose son, Charles R.

Saxbe, was a member of the graduating class which represented 41 states, the District of Columbia and 29 other Hospital Memorial Gifts our country," he said. ROSELAWN: DRIVE- IN U.S. No. 50 Allensburg. Ohio.

Harrington said the account to the committee was so sketchy that "no conclusions could be drawn from any of it." One member said the briefing lasted about three minutes and was given by a committee attorney on the basis of information he had seen at CIA headquarters. He said it was not a prepared briefing but was given during a heated session in response to a question of what Chairman Lucien N.

Nedzi, had been told a year before and had not passed on to other congressmen. Nedzi has confirmed that he and chairmen of other committees were briefed on misdeeds uncovered by the CIA in 1973 and has tacitly confirmed they included unspecified involvement in assassination plots. The week- long dispute over Nedzi's knowledge of CIA misdeeds and his failure to act on 1 them came to a head Thursday when he resigned. Nedzi contended the misdeeds "were history" when he learned of them and he did not act on them because he was concerned at the time with current allegations of CIA involvement in Watergate. Nedzi said he resigned because five committee Democratic opponents had imposed their control over his actions as chairman and it was clear his remaining as chairman would mean constant conflict.

Speaker Carl Albert put House action on Nedzi's resignation off until Monday and said he will make no quick decision on whether to appoint Stanton chairman. Meanwhile, there were these developments: -American industrialist Edwarc. Lamb said he witnessed all assassination attempt on Fidel in 1969 during a trip to Cuba and tha. Castro's personal physician later said the would-be assassin had admitted he was working for the CIA. Lamb said he and Castro were riding at the head of a jeep convoy when they came within 30 feet of two Cuban soldiers at a parked jeep.

Lamb said one of the soldiers fired a machine gun at Castro's jeep but missed when the second soldier "smothered" him to the ground. Lamb, 74, of Toledo, Ohio, said he was visiting Cuba at the time to give advice on how to manage agricultural projects. -The New York Times reported Wednesday that President Ford, at a White House luncheon with Times editors and executives in January, used the word "assassinations" in discussing CIA activities. The President's "manner was grave, his tone was said the report. His talk was off the record, but the substance of his remarks began to leak out, the newspaper noted.

In six weeks, those remarks were heard on the CBS Television Evening News, the newspaper said. About that time, CBS Correspondent Daniel Schorr reported that Ford was concerned that investigations of the CIA's domestic activities would uncover the agency's involvement in assassination plots. -A retired U.S. Army general said a Defense Department group did LSD research in the 1950s along with similar CIA tests to determine whether the drug could be used as a weapon. The El Paso Times quoted retired Brig.

Gen. S. L. A. Marshall as saying the subjects of the Pentagon research were "well -informed" about what was being done.

The Rockefeller Commission report on the CIA said an Army employe jumped to his death in 1953 within days of being given the drug without his knowledge. -The New York Daily News said Thursday in a copyright story that it had established through former city detectives "a clear link between the Central Intelligence Agency and the New York City Police Department." It quoted sources as saying that an elite crew of city detectives was assigned to a five-day seminar at the CIA's Virginia spy school in 1972. The News also said that the CIA pulled a number of burglaries during the 1960s against suspected pro-Castro and antiCastro activists in New York City. Receives Award community. p.m., Saturday.

World "I must be getting smart I went through a whole semester on one Guard Defends Kent Shot Claim CLEVELAND, Ohio (AP) A former Ohio National Guardsman defended his claim Thursday that a shot from a small nonmilitary weapon rang out a split second before troops turned and fired at Kent State University students five years ago.

Barry Morris of Kent said the shot came from his rear, from a distance and sounded unlike a military weapon. "It was not a clear, loud crack like it would have been if it had been fired in the open," said. The former guard grenadier said the sound might have muffled by trees on the hill troops were climbing. Defendants in the $46 million damages suit stemming from the 1970 Kent State shootings claim the firing by guardsmen was sparked by a shot from a nonmilitary weapon. Nine students wounded and parents of four killed seek the judgment from Gov.

James Rhodes, three ex-state officials and 40 present and former guardsmen. Morris told jurors hearing the case that the first shot sounded like it came from a .22 or weapon, not the M1 rifle or pistol carried by guardsmen. Guardsmen, who were retreating up a hill, turned at the sound and began shooting, Morris said. When he turned, he saw 10-15 students within 40 feet and rushing toward him, he added.

Enarson. He said America's weakest point is probably its desire to be liked and admired, and this has led the nation into making some serious mistakes, especially in southeast Asia. "Nowhere have good intentions resulted in such calamitous destruction, bloodshed and grief for us, and for a suffering people in a remote and backward country who now in their agony appear to be turning against us," he said. Domestically, he said, the nation's search for easy answers just compounds problems. "Our economic situation is indeed desperate, but do 1 we meet it head on? No, of course he said.

"We refused to tax ourselves to pay for the things we wanted from our government during the good times and thereby created runaway inflation that undermined our dollar. "We still run away from reality and believe without reason that we can stabilize our currency with what appears to be a one hundred billion dollar annual deficit." He said he believes the country's 200th birthday will mark a watershed in the United States' approach to world leadership.

He said the bullets went down the hill about two feet off the ground and that he did not know whether he hit anyone. Earlier, one of the wounded, Lobert Stamps, testified he thought the guardsmen had good reason to be on campus.

The 24-year-old graduate student said he was referring to rioting in Kent on Friday and burning of the Reserve Officers Training Corps building on campus Saturday before the shooting. The former South Euclid resident also described a radio broadcast he heard the following Sunday in which Gov. James Rhodes called those who caused campus disturbances that spring "the worst elements we harbor in our society." But under cross-examination, Stamps conceded he was confused now whether he had heard Rhodes make the statement or whether the words were paraphrased by a news commentator. Stamps told the court he was 500 feet from the guard, when he was shot in the right buttock while running from the gunfire. CHAKERES COLONY I Tonite thru Tuesday THEATRE HILLSBORO PH.
