Patty’s lawyer tries to fix mistake
By DONALD B. THACKREY
SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) -
Defense attorney F. Lee Bailey,
who successfully tore into a
bank robbery eyewitness whose
testimony branded Patricia
Hearst a liar, is now trying to
fix a mistake of his own.
Bailey conceded the error
when he asked U.S. District
Court Judge Oliver J. Carter to
hold a special hearing today on
the admissibility of evidence
seized at the last hideout of the
Symbionese Liberation Army.
Much of the material —
including a damaging “Tania
interview” and several weapons

Carlos
No monopoly
TEHRAN, Iran (UPI) — Banker David Rockfeller said
Tuesday American businessmen hold no monopoly on the
ageold practice of bribes and kickbacks.
Rockefeller was asked by reporters about recent
reports of multinational companies paying kickbacks and
illegal commissions on contracts with Iran.
“...It would sound as though this was something that
only U.S. companies, and by implication, most U.S.
companies do,” he said.
“I don’t think either of those things are true. I think this
has been a custom in many parts of the world for decades,
maybe centuries, and that American companies have only
been among many others that have done it.”
King to visit
MADRID (UPI) — King Juan Carlos will visit the
United States June 2 and 3 for talks with President Ford,
the government said Tuesday.
The visit by the king and Queen Sophia — their first
announced trip abroad since Juan Carlos ascended the
throne after Generalissimo Francisco Franco’s death in
November — underlines “the close and friendly
relations” between the two countries, the announcement
said.
The visit will coincide with the bicentennial
celebrations. It follows the signing of a new treaty of
friendship and cooperation between the United States and
Spain.
George quits
LONDON (UPI) — Lord George-Brown, deputy leader
of the Labor party for 10 years and Foreign Secretary
from 1966-68, said Tuesday he is resigning from the party
to protest its policies.
George-Brown, 61, said in a statement “The Labor
party has become part of the Establishment. It will be
nothing if it ceases to be the defender of individual free
doms.”
In recent months he has been increasingly critical of the
party.
Grassroots bid?
CHAMPAIGN, 111. (UPI) — President Ford’s 23-year
old son, Jade, campaigning for his father for the March 16
Illinois primary, says he still believes marijuana should
be decriminalized.
At a news conference Tuesday night at the University of
Illinois, Jack said he has discussed his views briefly with
his father.
Jack also predicted Ronald Reagan would drop out of
the race before the convention. He later told students
crowded into a university dormitory that former
President Nixon’s China trip has not helped his father’s
campaign.

L T. Hines, Manager
— already has been put before
the jury at the newspaper
heiress’ bank robbery trial
without a fight from the
defense.
Carter excused the jury from
the start of today’s court
session so he could hear legal
arguments over the evidence,
which was ruled inadmissible
this week in state court
proceedings against SLA mem
bers William and Emily Harris.
The Los Angeles Superior
Court decision was based on the
FBl’s failure to obtain a search
warrant even though it had the
Harris’ San Francisco apart-
Rockefeller
George-Brown
ment under surveillance for 30
hours prior to their arrest last
September.
“We’re taking care of Bai
ley’s pretrial motions down
here at a fraction of the cost,”
quipped the Harris’ attorney,
Leonard Weinglass.
Bailey told Carter he was
unaware of the 30-hours surveil
lance by federal agents when
he signed a stipulation allowing
the evidence to be used by the
prosecution at Miss Hearst’s
trial.

Griffin, Ga. Sun. 1-5 48 Hr. Service
ing Jr. has already made heavy
use of the “Tania interview,’’
Miss Hearst’s question-and
answer contribution to a history
of the SLA. In it, she wrote
revolutionary propaganda in
her own hand and said she
joined the bank robbery volun
tarily.
Among the items the prosecu
tor still wants to introduce are
a diagram of a bank in the
town of Marysville, Calif.,
allegedly made in Miss
Hearst’s handwriting and a
“bakery” list on how to rob a
bank.
Bailey worked hard Tuesday
at knocking down the testimony
of TV repairman Zigurd Ber
zins, 32, San Francisco, who
challenged the defendant’s
story that she joined the April
15, 1974, robbery of a Hibernia
Bank branch without knowing
whether her gun was loaded.
Berzins said he accidentally
let a door swing shut on Miss
Hearst as she entered the bank
and he then saw her kneel
down and pick up ammunition
clips and bullets from the
Page 9
sidewalk.
Miss Hearst testified several
times during her week on the
stand that she did not know if
the gun was loaded, had not
checked it and was not
carrying any ammunition in
her pockets during the holdup.
Bailey put the witness Under
stinging cross-examination,
winning admissions that all
Berzins saw of the person in
the doorway was the top of the
head and the hands. The lawyer
suggested the witness might not
even have been able to tell
Griffin Daily News Wednesday, March 3,1976
whether it was a man or a
woman.
Berzins insisted it was Miss
Hearst, saying he picked her
out of photographs of the
robbery by a process of
elimination — based on what he
saw of her and on the type of
weapon she was carrying.
But Bailey produced FBI
reports in which the eyewitness
once identified the person
picking up the bullets as Nancy
Ling Perry and another time as
Patricia Soltysik, two women
members of the SLA.
