State Sen. James H. Wallwork of Essex County said, "I am deeply troubled by the likelihood that two California members of the John Birch Society may be elected to Congress on Tuesday on the Republican ticket." He said the two were running in a special election. Wallwork said he was referring to John H.

Rousselot, running in northeast Los Angeles County, and California State Sen. John C. Schmitz running in San Diego County. The New Jersey senator said Rousselot was national public relations director of the John Birch Society until 1967 and Schmitz is "the only John Birch Society member in the California legislature." He said both men had a good chance of winning because both districts were considered safe for Republicans. Monday, June 29, 1970 MAYOR Many of the messages are from unknown people who were warmed by his victory and from famous people who predicted his victory would mean great things for Newark.

"The City of Newark now seems assured of a new era of progressive government and human justice," wrote Sen. George JOINS PRINCETON FACULTY Dr. Paul N.

-j JlfjUJi.tiuiF 1'- I I NEWARK (AP) If anybody still believes the adage, "it's lonely at the top," he should talk to Kenneth A. Gibson. Since he defeated Hugh J. Addonizio in the June 16 Newark mayoral run-off Gibson, a black engineer, has been deluged with letters and telegrams offering help and encouragement. "Go go go go go go go go go -go," wrote State Rep.

Julian Bond of Georgia." "A giant step for mankind on the moon a giant step for black man on the earth," wrote a woman from Sunnyside, N.Y. The mounds of letters have come from all over the world, from white people and black, from senators and housewives, from boyhood firends and from hatchet-burying political enemies. They range in length from Sammy Davis simple, "Right-On," to Rev. Ralph David Abernathy's two-page letter. Among those who have wired congratulations are Princess Beatrix of the Netherlands, nine U.S.

Senators, four Congressmen, entertainers, civil rights leaders, people offering their services to Newark free, and one offering Gibson a place to vacation, when the job becomes tedious. "I've been in Newark and found the quality of life hard to believe," wrote Lesley Bruce of Makawao on the island of Maui, Hawaii. "If you need a vacation my father's beach shack is available. The plumbing doesn't work but the ocean isn't polluted and we spend our time there swimming." Mayor Thomas G. Dunn of Elizabeth told Gibson, if he ever needs help, to "call me on my private phone." Dunn enclosed the unlisted number.

Even several local politicians who opposed Gibson wired their support. "Best wishes on a well-deserved victory. Beautiful! said Deputy Mayor Lewis Perkins.

Gibson hasn't had time to read all the messages, As for replying no one knows. Panthers Shun Trial Histrionics By DENNIS L. STERN JERSEY CITY (AP) In ah age when trial by jury can become guerrilla theatre, three conservatively dressed Black Panthers have been defending themselves without fanfare on a charge of shooting up a police station here. It is a defense marked by decorum at a five-month trial that is expected to go to the all white jury this week. Each day the defendants arrive in Hudson County Court wearing sport jackets and ties and sit quietly listening to the testimony.

Only once, when reprimanding an attorney, had Judge Edward F. Ham-mil used his gavel. The defendats are Charles Hicks, Victor Perez and Isaiah Rowley, a top Panther organizer in New Jersey. The state has accused them of firing more than 20 machine gun rounds into Jersey City's 5th Precinct house on Nov. 29, 1968.

Several Panthers wanted to use the trial for political publicity, but defense attorney Raymond A. Brown, a Negro, said "no." During a confrontation on that issue with a Panther in a court corridor, Brown said: "Look baby, I'm a black man from the ghetto. You're not going to push me around. If you want to try it, come on outside with me." Brown, considered one of the best defense attorneys in the state, threatened to remove himself from the case if associates of the defendants demonstrated. The Panthers have called the charge a "frame up." They testified they were elsewhere when the shooting took place.

Brown has said his emphasis on decorum in the courtroom is to assure that his clients are treated as citizens, not political activists. "If you try to create a political trial in Jersey City, you're committing suicide," he said. 5 Drivers Set Down Under State Rules TRENTON Two Vineland area residents have been suspended under the State's Point System.

Addonizio Conspiracy Trial Enters 5th Week in Trenton il mm mm mm ihh i i mm a i iii i i i 7-- mm 1 I II 1 iT. hi I that he received cash payments from Rigo. The confession was made in December to a federal grand jury investigating corruption in Newark. Gordon's attorneys said their client would give serious consideration to a government offer to accept a plea to a lesser charge of income tax evasion. All the defendants are charged with evading income tax on the money they allegedly made on payoffs.

Another defendant, James T. Callaghan, former city councilman, was severed from the trial Friday, when he pleaded guilty to filing a false income tax return. Meanwhile, federal authorities were ordered to guard the lives of both Boiardo and Asst. U.S. Attorney Herbert Stern, who has been pleading the government's case.

Officials would not say why guards were ordered for Stern. Boiardo's $50,000 bail was revoked without explanation and he spent the weekend in the Somerset County jail. Guards have already been ordered for Rigo and Irving Kantor, a hospitalized government witness who also testified he was part of the kickback scheme. RHl25aed28 4 A J-. TRENTON (AP) the federal conspiracy-extortion trial of outgoing Newark Mayor Hugh J.

Addonizio and five others enters its fifth week today, after five days of testimony by the government's star witness that he made payoffs to several of the defendants. The witness, engineer Paul Rigo, has testified that he was the middleman in a massive kickback scheme. He said he gave cash to the defendants Addonizio; reputed Mafia boss Anthony "Tony Boy" Boiardo; Anthony P. LaMorte, director of the Newark Municipal Utilities Authority; Philip Gordon, former city corporation counsel; Ralph Vicaro and Joseph Bian-cone. Four weeks of trial have almost brought to an end the outline of the case given by the government in opening remarks to the all-white jury.

The defendants are accused of conspiring to shakedown seven contractors and extorting more than $250,000 from Constrad an engineering firm headed by Rigo. There were six defendants Friday, but after today there may be five. Attorneys for Gordon entered into the evidence Friday a confession Gordon made stating those signing up as members at an information and membership booth set up at the festival.
