Al Capp Criticizes SDS,

Protestors And Students
By LARRY DALE KEELING

Assistant Managing Editor
AJ
Capp, a renowned cartoonist, brought his satire to the first
Student Center Hoard Fonim
Tuesday night and launched into an attack against the Students for a Democratic Society
(SDS) and other groups, including the Kernel.
Speaking before an appreciative crowd estimated at 3,000,
Capp charged the "Students for
a Depraved Society" with carrying a "contagious disease."
He later walked out of a reception reportedly because he

would not stay in the same room
with members of SDS.
Capp conducted his talk on a
question and answer basis. Many
of his statements drew rousing
applause from the audience.
Capp sjxjke on a variety of topics:
Low quality of local law enforcement "I not only think you
have the right to make the police
better but you have the duty to
do it. But instead of beefing

Protesters Burn Draft Records

MILWAUKEE, Wis. (AP)-- A
group of peace protesters broke
into a Selective Service office
shortly after it closed Tuesday,
seized bags full of records and
set them afire in a tiny park
across the street, police said.
"They overpowered a cleaning woman, took away her keys,
opened the doors, came out with
the records and bumed them,"
said police sergeant Fred Stein,
one of the first at the scene.
Police said 14 persons, five of
them in clerical garb, were arrested. They said state and city
warrants would be sought charging burglary, criminal damage
of property, arson other than to

a building and theft from a person.
One eyewitness said flames,
apparently feeding on gasoline,
shot 20 feet into the air before
firemen arrived to douse them.
The charred and water-soake- d
records lay in a tangle of burlap
under a barren flag pole dedicated to "The memory of those
who served" in World War I.

From the Wire of the Associated Press

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP)-- A
police detective said Tuesday
that speakers at a rally that
sparked civil disorders in Louisville May 27 "put the seeds of
violence there but I wouldn't
say they advocated it."
Kenneth New comb, a Negro
detective with the Louisville Police Department, was testifying
at the first hearing by the KenActivities
tucky
Committee, which is investigating the civil disorders in Louisville last May and June.
Newcomb singled out James
Cortez as being particularly active in the rally at 28th and Greenwood on May 27. He said Cortez was new to Louisville at that
time, having just come in from
Kansas City.
"Everybody was pretty well
hepped up," Newcomb said of
the rally. "The speakers had the
crowd going their way."
Newcomb said he and a partner, both in plain clothes, were
the only police officers present.
As the rally began to break
up, he said, several youths on
top of one of the shops on the
comer began throwing water-fille- d
bottles, which sound like
gunshots when they broke.
Other police cars came on the
scene after the bottles began
breaking, he said, and more bottles and rocks then were thrown
at the police.
Newcomb said there were
"quite a few known criminals"
among the crowd. In response
to a question from Tim McCall,
counsel for the KUAC, Newcomb acknowledged
that the
number of criminals present was
unusual for this type of rally.

Hartzheim said it was at least

"It went right up," Hartzheim said. "They just stood

was "We Shall Overcome."
