Deserter: Amnesty will ease bitterness WASHINGTON. D.C. (AP ) - An Army deserter came out of hiding Thursday to tell a-group oi Congressmen that unconditional amnesty will help erase a decade of bitterness over the Indochina war. Edward Sowder, 25. of Detroit , appeared before an unofficial House panel discussing amnesty to men who fled the draft , deserted or resisted.the war while in the service. His statement followed emotional testimony by his mother, Lori , who said her working-class family could not afford college for him to get him a deferment. She said he went into the Army against her wishes and that she told him the "onlv Guild strikes against Consumers Union MOUNT VERNON (AP ) — Some 300 members of the Newspaper Guild went on strike Thursday against Consumers Union , publishers of Consumer Reports, in a dispute over wages and other issues. A spokesman for Consumers, a leading noncommercial producttesting organization , said the operation here and at a plant in Orangeburg. N.Y., was functioning with management personnel. He said the July issue of the magazine Consumer Reports was due to go to press in a few days and would not be delayed by the strike. The spokesman added that when lengthy negotiations broke off , "everything on the table was negotiable." A spokesman for the Newspaper Guild of New York. Local 3, said the Guild, which represents engineers, chemists and other technical workers as well as the magazine's writers, was seeking a 10 per cent pay increase. He said job security protection against automation and pensions also were unresolved issues. $1 million suit filed after raid SPRINGFIELD, 111. (AP) — A couple whose home was mistakenly invaded by federal narcotics agents filed a $1 million damage suit Thursday in federal court. A lawyer for Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Giglotto of Collinsville said the Giglottos * charged that they were "assaulted, battered , falsely imprisoned...frightened, upset and caused to become severely ill." Named as defendants in the suit are the United States government, the Justice Department, four agents of the Drug Abuse Law Enforcement Agency, seven St. Louis policemen and a number of agents who were also involved in the April 23 incident. The Giglottos said that 15 agents carrying guns invaded their home without a warrant, held a pistol to Giglotto's head , handcuffed the couple, used abusive language and ransacked the house before they admitted they conducted the raid at the wrong address. Another suit has been filed based on another incident on the same night at the nearby home of Mr. and Mrs. Donald Askew . The Askews are seeking $100,000 in damages.

Sowder then entered the hearing room and told the panel when he volunteered for Vietnam he supported the war. "I was assigned to an evacuation hospital where we received fresh casualties direct from combat areas. Many of these victims were Vietnamese civilians, mostly women and children hit by U.S. artillery and bombing. "Many had been severely burned by napalm and white phosphorous, weapons used only by the U.S." -He said those scenes and the attitude of some of his fellow GIs led him to decide to desert. "In April 1970, I made my decision ... I went on strike against the war. For the past three years, except for a period in Canada, I've lived underground in America, cut-off from my family and friends. "I make no apology for my act of resistance. I could do nothing else at the time. But , underground life has become so intolerable to me, so, I'm here today, to draw attention to the true facts concerning my case and the cases of tens of thousands just like me. "We are not criminals to be hunted and I A Df^l f l*C Brings you the CUBS on WCi* ch. |||ftHVua 3 ^- I ' I / J /r ^PFPIAI I wr LV/IML! imprisoned. "Only by winning a universal, unconditional amnesty for all categories of war resisters can we begin the long process of changing our country and learning from the decade of blood and bitterness in Indochina," Sowder said. Later, he turned himself over to Capitol police, who took him into custody and who finally told him to turn himself in to military authorities. The hearing was called by Rep. Bella Abzug, D-N.Y., who is the author of a bill which would grant unconditional amnesty. ¦ -^^ It's ^_ Incredible!

Aristocrat admits to 'casual affairs' LONDON (AP) — A second British aristocra t with access to allied defense secrets resigned from Britain's Conservative government Thursday, admitting he had "some casual affairs" with prostitutes The sex and security scandal is Britain's worst since the Profumo affair 10 years ago. Earl Jellicoe, government leader in the House of Lords, conceded Thur- sday ^ in a public resignation statement that his actions were "a grave em- barrassment" to Prime Minister Edward Heath's administration. Jellicoe, 55, has long been a close personal friend and trusted adviser of Heath. As a senior Cabinet minister he had full access to top secret government papers. Jellicoe's confession came 24 hours after similar admissions by Lord Lambton, who resigned as air force minister, a sub-Cabinet post. Lambton said "some sneak pimp" had photographed him with a call girl. The prime minister acted swiftly to avoid any suggestion of a cover-up. He told a hushed House of Commons there will be an independent inquiry into security implications of the scandal. Both Jellicoe, former minister for the royal navy, and Lambton denied that their links with call girls had involved lawbreaking, blackmail or security leaks; And Heath told the Commons, "On the information available to me—and I have been kept fully informed—I can tell the-House that there are no grounds for supposing that any other minister or member of the public service is involved." He left open the possibility that others outside government service were involved. British newspaper reports have said a duke is among those linked with call girls, but have not identified him. The prime minister reported to the Commons only hours after Jellicoe's resignation was announced. His voice cracked slightly when he mentioned "my right honorable friend Lord Jellicoe." Opposition legislators sympathized with Heath's' difficulties. Harold Wilson, the Laborite opposition leader , told Heath : "All of us recognize how deeply painful it has been for you to make this statement:" Wilson and others praised Heath for promptly ordering an inquiry . Butchers ask Congress to change subsidy law CHICAGO, 111. (AP) — The nation's largest food workers union called on Congress Thursday to change the farm subsidy law to prevent "future food price disasters and to fully remedying the current one." In a union policy statement the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen , AFL-CIO, said new farm legislation is needed to "reward growers for producing the maximum food they can, instead of subsidizing untilled acres" and food scarcity." ~ The union's executive board , meeting at the organization's national headquarters in Chicago, said the United States "can grow incredible amounts of food to provide inexpensive nutrition for all of its people" and can raise enough surplus ,food products "to nourish the hungry abroad. . .without harming domestic consumers." • The statement added , "new farm legislation must and can assure this production without economically hurting farmers. . . .Growers deserve a reasonable return for their capital and labor and should be assured of it." ^ ' '^¦^^^^^^ ¦^^ ¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦WHHMMHnMaMM WB siean \$m$m J\\K- (ioNDmOMUKS-l . opnoNAL me^Ls i HaRoss-fkom M« I f> UBKftfcY I &GPPS ANP UNDefe^Rfps W§mre\ 51 ^s * hex oal>mei\os^ NevwrtN Hrt-u. ¦ • - .
