Vol. LX, No. 81

Motions For Mistrial Denied
Attorneys for the three defendants in the $30 million antitrust suit over the sale of Maine
Chance Farm had their motions
for a mistrial denied yesterday.
U.S. District JudgeMacSwin-for- d

after defense lawyers argued that
County Judge Joe Johnson in
outlining his stand against the
University purchase of the farm-h- ad
been allowed to interject
personal opinions while addressing the jury.
Judge Johnson, Rex Ellsworth
and Dr. Arnold Pessin testified
yesterday. Ellsworth and Dr. Pessin filed the suit against The
Bank of New York, the Keene-lanAssociation and the UK
Research Foundation for allegedly conspiring to keep competitive horse sales out of Central
Kentucky.
The University foundation
bought the farm for $2 million
in July 1967. The Bank of New
York was the executor to the
estate.
Had Dr. Pessin and Ellsworth
bought the farm, they said they
would have constructed a horse
sales center to compete with
Keeneland.
Judge Johnson testified that
at first he had no objection to
the sale to UK, but that after
he investigated it he changed
his stand.
Judge Johnson said Fred
Wachs, president and general
manager of the Lexington Herald-Leade- r
Co., threatened his(John-son's- )
political career if he did
not go along with the purchase.

That question assumed sperelevance Monday night
when fire swept through Morrison Hall on the Transylvania
College campus, destroying official records and documents, in
the process.

dean of admissions and registrar,

said yesterday. "We do have a

sole engineering team chosen by
NASA for the project.

When the labs at the manned
space center receive the sample
containers they will sterilize the
exteriors. Then, in a vacuum
gloved box, depressurized to
moon atmospheric pressure, the
containers will be punctured and
analyzed for gas t races which may
reveal a residual atmosphere.
(The moon has little or no
atmosphere because all gas molecules will, at surface temperatures found on the moon, move
faster than the speed necessary to
escape Luna's grasp.)
NASA scientists then will

But Dr. Ockerman explained

that the files are not "active,"
only records of past years.
"We are proposing to pur-

and Vice President (A. D.) Albright is working with us to try
to get it approved."
Dr. Ockerman said if present

computers to reconstruct the records from the files in deans

UK Profs To Study Apollo 9s 'Moon Dust
The astronauts returning in
June or July will bring back two
specially designed boxes containing moon dust at lunar surface
pressure. One lunar theory suggests that since the moon lacks
an atmosphere, the lethal radiations striking it have made its
surface materials dangerous to
human contact hence the special boxes.
Dr. Birkebak discounts this.
"The real danger may be pathogens," he states. "The contaminated astronauts will stay inside
the capsule until they leave it
through a plastic tunnel hooked
to a special trailer. They will be
quarantined for 20 to 30 days,"
he added.

In his final conversation with

and working through the system in favor of black

the same goals it has sought in the past
with some modifications.
Embry says BSU is "saying less, but doing
more things along the lines of direct action"
than was the case previously. The group now is
concentrating on such projects as recruiting black
students, athletes and faculty members, as well
as providing a regular tutoring service.
"I have been here a year and a half and have
said the same things a hundred times," Embry
said in explaining BSU's shift of emphasis, "so
why keep repeating yourself? UK knows what
BSU wants, so why keep saying it?"
Embry indicated that BSU feels no need to
employ the "confrontation" tactics that have
been used at San Francisco State College, Brandeis
University and other institutions.
Even should it deem this strategy advisable,
however, the group most likely would be unsuccessful in putting it into practice because
BSU has a membership of about 35 out of some
130 Blacks enrolled here.

Embry Sees No Need For 'Confrontation'
Continued from Taje One
Embry said of the San Francisco situation, however.

"Every situation demands different ta :tics. In San Francisco I
imagine they had tried our way
of doing things-sitti- ng
down
and talking with the president

or whatever
work out.

but

that didn't

"Violence is the next step
when nothing else works out.
It opens people's minds.
"I can't say the San Francisco people are wrong because
you have to use whatever means
are necessary."

Embry listed as someof BSU's
current goals the acquisition of
black sorority and fraternity
chapters and nouses and "forming closer ties with black groups
in Kentucky high schools and
colleges."
The old goal of integration into the culture at large is still

that Blacks should stand up and
demand the rights they sfxmld
have without giving up their
own identities."
As for the current mood among
black students at the University,
the BSU president describes his
personal feelings this way:
"When I came here my freshman year, I had certain ideas
that people would accept our
ideas because they didn't want
to be known as racists . . . but
after you have been here a while
you begin to find out that Whites
are all talk and no work and so
you become disillusioned. But
then you grow to accept this as
a natural phenomenon."

a valid goal for black students,
Embry feels, but "not integration
as such."
Embry added "Integration in
the past has meant that DIacks
had to give up their identities
and pride and get in the 'white

bag.'

* JuuPs Bold And Daring Move
The plan to reorganize University Student Affairs represents a
daring move to place a great deal
of responsibility in the hands of
students. Thursday the plan will
be submitted to Student Government by Students for Action and
Responsibility (SAR) and from there
will be sent on its way through a
long bureaucratic process.
The plan is the brain child of the
outspoken Thorn Pat Juul and its
development represents the work
he, along with some others, have
put into it. Juul feels the plan will
give students control they should
have over nonacademic areas. Basically, the revised system would
set up a Student Association to
replace the present Student Government apparatus and would include
five major divisions: the Assembly,
Board of Publications, Committee
on Dormitories, Organizational
Council and Central Programming
Board.

Students at this university up to

If

To the Editor of the Kernel:
Perhaps it would have been best to end
the war crime trials and forget about them.
However, now that the United Nations
has decided that they will continue, we
should take a closer look at them.
Since all war crime trials are based
on the Nuremberg trials, let us first examine them.
The two books The Nuremberg Trials
by August von Knieriem and The Trial
of the Germans by Eugene Davidson show
d
how unfair and
the Nuremberg
trials really were.
First, the court was made up of exclusively persons of the victors. In other
words, the court was not impartial.
Second, since the victors could have
hardly convicted the vanquished by international law, they prepared their own
statute and called it international law
although it was only partly and loosely
based on international law. The fact that
they prepared that statute themselves
and the fact that they did so only after
the deeds to be tried were done, did not
bother the victors.
Third, only persons of the vanquished
were tried by that statute, although many
persons of the victors were also guilty
under it. This was obviously wrong. Since
the victors called their statute international law, they should have also applied
it to their own countrymen. If international law is to mean anything at all,
it must be applied to victor and vanquished alike. But this principle was vio
one-side-

lated at Nuremberg. The vanquished were
simply not permitted to compare some
of the deeds they were condemned for with
similar ones committed by the victors.
Whenever they tried to do so, they were
stopped and told the court was not interested in what the victors might have
done.
Fourth, the defense was not given a
fair chance. Any attempt by them to show
that the Treaty of Versailles was the
real cause of Hitler and the Second World
War was stifled in the bud. But even
without Versailles the defense was not
given a chance. Since the announcement
of the indictments was delayed, the prosecution had much more time to prepare
themselves than the defense. The defense
counsels were denied access to the German and foreign archives, and most of
the documents they asked for were not
produced. The defense were not permitted
to use most of their witnesses, and those
which they were permitted to use were
first interrogated by the prosecution. The
defense counsels lacked office space and
furniture, they were not permitted to use
electric lights, in the evening, all 180
of them had to share one telephone, they
could not phoneortraveltoothercountries
to gather evidence and their traveling
freedom in Germany was limited.
Fifth, while the defense was thus
hampered, the prosecution had all the
liberties, documents, witnesses and facilities they wanted. Furthermore, the prosecution could, unlike the defense, always
surprise the defense with new witnesses.

While the defense was hindered even with
the little evidence it managed to collect,
the prosecution could even present things
as evidence which not another court in
the world would have listened to. Since
the prosecution did not show most of its
documents to the defense, it suceeded
in distorting some of them.
Although the victors said the purpose
of the Nuremberg trials was to do justice
and to establish the truth, there can be
no doubt that the real purpose was to
punish the vanquished, distort the truth
and fix all guilt upon the vanquished.
Since the Nuremberg trials millions
of Germans have been forced before courts
most of which were even worse than that
at Nuremberg. Not only have such trials
been held by other countries, but also
Germany was pressured to have them.
Included in these millions of trials were
also those held by the denazification
courts, which were established by the
victors and which were to a large degree
composed of carpenters, criminals, Communists, and the like who had no idea
a bout law but who had a strong animosity
toward society or toward Nazi Germany.
And now the United Nations has decided that the war crime trials continue. If
this is indeed to be done then it is best
to start all over again, establish a fair
statute which would make no distinction
between victor and vanquished, organize
truly impartial and international courts
and have fair trials for victor and vanquished alike. Since these would be international courts, administering interna
--

tional law, they should obviously also
hear cases of all other wars since the
Second World War. On the other hand,
if the war crime trials cannot be made
fair and universal, then there should
be none at all.

To the Editor of the Kernel:
I would like to make some comments
in reference to the letter written by the
Student Activities Board Concert Chair24). First of all, Mr.
man (Kemel-JaChairman said "I feel that the response
to our programming will overshadow a
very minority view of hard rock groups."
However, he doesn't tnily know if his
feeling represents the majority of the
student body since this campus has not
had the opportunity to really experience
some good, hard, acid rock. In opposition
to another one of the Chairman's comments, I DON'T feel, as many of the
students I have talked to DON'T feel,
that the University Community would
rather see Andy Williams over "The Iron
Butterfly."
n.

I for one, got the impression from the

Chairman's letter that he was putting
hard rock groups down, rather than offering excuses for not attempting to hire
them to perform at UK. NOW LET US
PRAY!!

Black Policemen Gain Responsibilities, New Image
By KEN IIARTNETT
Associated Press Writer
The Chicago police sergeant is
black. He is well paid. And he is
impatient for real equality on the
force.
"At times, I feel almost like a
brick in the structure of status
quo," he said.
But after more than a dozen
years on the Chicago police force,
the sergeant isn't about to quit.
For one thing, he earns $12,900
a year. Another reason may be
equally compelling:
"It would be giving up ground
gained," said the sergeant, who
spoke on the condition that his
name not be use.
Blacks are slowly, sometimes
painfully, gaining numbers and
status on big city police forces.
A survey of more than a dozen
major cities shows only five that
have 10 percent or more Blacks
on active duty. More than half
these cities have less than five
percent.
Baltimore has more than doubled the total of Blacks on its
police force in two years. Now
11 percent of its force of 3,333 is
black.
Boston has added six black policemen in the past 12 months to
a total of 60 among 2,600.
In Chicago, 17 percent about
2,000-- of
the police force of 11,700
is black.
Philadelphia's police commissioner claims the best black percentage of any big city, 22.8 percent 1,400 on a force of 6,750.
Growth Uneven
In March 1968 there were 1,475
Blacks on New York City's force
and the Guardians, a coalition of
black policemen said 200 to 300
have been added since. There are

almost 33,500 policemen in New
York City.

But Milwaukee, a focal point
of racial turmoil, has fewer Blacks
on its police force than two years
ago, despite a recruiting campaign.
Responsibilities assigned to
Blacks on big city police forces
have been expanding, at an
uneven rate."
"Only seven years ago, we
(black) couldn't have possibly put
a officer on duty at 12th and
Main" the heart of Kansas
City's downtown business district, said Capt. E. L.
head of personnel.
"There wasn't even a place that
would serve him food and the
public would not have cooperated
with him."
Wil-loughb- y,

Duties Expand
Now:

"We have (black) officers in
every division I can think of,"
Willoughby said. "They're in patrol cars, detectives, communicationseven the 9 Corps
and one is a helicopter pilot.
They work in every part of the
K--

city."
Being a policeman is a relatively new role for the black male.
In many cities, he became a prime
target for intense recruiting only
after racial disorders awakened
officials to
