Reel 1: Segment 1 (silent): Young defenders in courtroom, with large group of attorneys at table. Script reads, "A verbal tongue lashing was given to defense and prosecution attorneys this morning for continued delays in the case of seven San Jose youths charged with robbery and murder. The teenagers, all taken into custody shortly after the Memorial Day fatal beating and robbery of a Millbrae priest and Santa Clara warehouseman, filed quietly into the courtroom of Judge John Racanelli. The youths have made at least half a dozen Superior Court appearance since their indictment by the Grand Jury on July 6th..." Reel 2: Segment 2 (sound): Interview with San Jose State Spartans football player S. T. Saffold, co-player of the week for the Spartans, asked about the differences between playing basketball and football. Segment 1 (sound): U.S. Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare, John Gardner, at an outdoor news conference before the dedication of a new building at Stanford University. In a speech in Los Angeles the day before he stated that California's educational system is a model for the entire nation, and he is asked to elaborate on that statement. Gardner says it's unfortunate that California's system has become a political football, but it is 25 years ahead of the rest of the nation in a model of higher education, way out ahead. With regard to pre-college education, it ranks along with half a dozen other states, and California spends a great deal of money on education. Reel 3: Segment 3 (sound): Interview with San Jose State football coach Harry Anderson about the team's chances against UC Berkeley Bears. Segment 2 (sound): Interview with San Jose Junior Chamber of Commerce president Duane Street. The Jaycees have begun circulating a petition to urge Swift & Company to reapply for a permit to build a meat packing plant in San Jose. Street says that so many facts came out after Swift withdrew their application, and the Mercury News didn't print many of the facts. He says the Mercury News has every right to use its editorials to express an opinion, but the Jaycees don't feel that the Mercury News gave Swift fair play on their front pages. Segment 1 (sound): Reporter Dennis Rowedder interviews gubernatorial candidate Ronald Reagan in Monterey after flying up from his lunch with Los Angeles mayor Sam Yorty. Reagan is asked what they talked about, and whether he had asked Yorty for his endorsement. Reagan answers that they talked about the ins and outs of campaigning, and that he wouldn't be so presumptuous to ask Yorty for his endorsement. Reagan predicts that Yorty will remain non-partisan and not give his endorsement to any candidate. Rowedder asks Reagan whether the riots in San Francisco will have an impact on Governor Brown's campaign. Reagan replies that he certainly wouldn't try to capitalize on anything like that, but anytime something unpleasant happens during a campaign, it has more of a chance of reflecting badly on the incumbent than on the challenger. Reel 4: Segment 3 (sound): Interview with Santa Clara County Counsel Spencer Williams, who criticizes Attorney General Thomas Lynch for not defending Proposition 14 before the U.S. Supreme Court. Script explains, "The proposition, passed in 1964 by the voters, overturned the State's fair housing laws. It was recently declared unconstitutional by the State Supreme Court, and is on appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court." Williams asserts that whether or not the Attorney General may agree, it's part of the Constitution now and he has an oath and duty to defend it to the Supreme Court. Williams says that Lynch didn't even show up in court when the matter was heard, and says that he will oppose it if it goes to the Supreme Court. Williams argues that Lynch is trying to impose his personal philosophy on the people of the State of California even though they overwhelmingly stated they did not want a regulation of their conduct. Segment 2 (silent + sound): Annual Santa Clara County Republican fundraising dinner at the Palo Alto Cabana Hotel. Congressman and Republican whip Les Arends is the keynote speaker. Shots of Arends speaking to the crowd as they enjoy a banquet dinner; shot of an ice carving of an elephant. Arends is then interviewed and says that their problem is how to maintain a two-party system in this country when the Republicans are in such a minority that it feels like being run over by a Mac truck every time legislature is introduced. Reel 5 (silent + sound): Reverend Malcolm Boyd speaking outdoors to a large group of Stanford University students, followed by interview. During the speech, sound clip of Boyd saying that he believes that when he dies, he doesn't believe it's all over. Life is so complex -- when you finally get out of high school [crowd laughs]. Boyd is asked about the future of the church, and the heresy charges against Bishop Pike. He says the church is either going to become a tool of fascism, or return to being a servant to the Lord. He thinks that the a church that pursues heresy charges has no future, and should be more concerned with being out with the people. Reel 6: Segment 3 (silent): Small auditorium of mixed audience of men, women and nuns, at Santa Clara University. Script reads, "Recent pay rises won for local nurses prompted a day-long conference of O'Connor Hospital supervisors. Department heads, supervisors, and members of the administrative staff gathered at Santa Clara University for the discussions. A wide range of topics was covered, but most of the emphasis was on the newly won contracts. Much of the time was spent by each of the two groups discussing wage increases, fringe benefits, and new rules under the contract. The contract affects not only nurses, but numerous other hospital employees granted increases to keep a pay scale ratio." Segment 1 (silent + sound): Joan Baez speaking to a crowd inside Monterey Peninsula College auditorium, after returning from a tour of the South, including Grenada, Mississippi. She speaks to reporter Dennis Rowedder afterwards, who asks her about her views on Black Power. "I don't like the emphasis on Black, I don't like the emphasis on power, but I don't like it on white either -- and it's words -- it's just a slogan to shout in kind of despair, and I think that it'll burn itself out. I don't think it means anything. Most people when you ask them -- Negros or whites -- couldn't give you a definition of Black Power." Rowedder asks how she found it in Mississippi. "It was no -- we were in one of the areas where the emphasis was on non-violence, and it was fantastic, and it would make any kind of riot, or what happened in San Francisco, make it look like kids' stuff -- the way the children handle themselves, which had nothing to do with Black Power, you know, that was the power of love and strength and it was really amazing." Rowedder asks, "You don't think there is a Black Power movement, then?" Baez shakes her head and smiles, "Noooo." "Nothing at all?" "Oh, I think it's a lot of hollering and yelling, but I don't think that it will amount to much. I mean, I don't see how it can even if...they say they want to organize their own sheriffs and things like that. There are something like 80 counties at the very most that could even have a Black representative, and there are something like 12 places, even if every Negro voted, that could have their own Black sheriff, and I don't even want any more sheriffs anyway..." "You're all for non-violence, including non-sheriffs?" Baez laughs, "Maybe non-violent sheriffs." Segment 2 (sound): Program director of Lockheed's "Operation Deep Quest," James Wenzel, is asked about purposes of undersea exploration, and cites military, petroleum applications. "It's only the beginning of this field." Lockheed is preparing to send research submarines down to depths ten times as deep as conventional Navy subs have reached. Segment 1 (sound): Reporter in arena with two men, San Jose Bees co-owner Pete Felice and possibly new general manager Larry Glissman. Script reads, "The San Jose Bees today named their publicist Larry Glissman as General Manager of the club, replacing Red Marion who will stay with the club in sales and promotion. Felice comments that Larry has been with the organization for a good many years, one of the pioneers of the San Jose Bees. He's done a good job in the past, and they assume he'll continue to do so in his new job. Segment 3 (sound): Stanford University assistant football coach Dutch Fehring comments on the Stanford defense and physical condition ahead of their game against Oregon Ducks. Segment 2 (sound): Larry Glissman is asked what he expects next year for baseball. He says they had a fine year in '66 - sales and attendance were up. The California League can really go up, and 1967 will be even better. 10/7/66 A-C 614; 10/7/66 D-F 614 RIOT SOF; 10/7/66 G-I 614; 10/7/66 J-K 614; 10/7/66 L 614; 10/7/66 M-O 614; 10/7/66 A-C 614; 10/7/66 D-F 614 RIOT SOF; 10/7/66 G-I 614; 10/7/66 J-K 614; 10/7/66 L 614; 10/7/66 M-O 614; 10/7/66 A-C 614; 10/7/66 D-F 614 RIOT SOF; 10/7/66 G-I 614; 10/7/66 J-K 614; 10/7/66 L 614; 10/7/66 M-O 614; 10/7/66 A-C 614; 10/7/66 D-F 614 RIOT SOF; 10/7/66 G-I 614; 10/7/66 J-K 614; 10/7/66 L 614; 10/7/66 M-O 614; 10/7/66 A-C 614; 10/7/66 D-F 614 RIOT SOF; 10/7/66 G-I 614; 10/7/66 J-K 614; 10/7/66 L 614; 10/7/66 M-O 614; 10/7/66 A-C 614; 10/7/66 D-F 614 RIOT SOF; 10/7/66 G-I 614; 10/7/66 J-K 614; 10/7/66 L 614; 10/7/66 M-O 614
