Iowa school
bans teaching
of Steinbeck
United Press International
KANAWHA, Iowa — The five-
member school board in this small
north-central Iowa community has
banned the use of John Steinbeck’s
“The Grapes of Wrath in high
school sophomore English classes.
Only one board member, howev
er, has read the book cover to cover.
Teacher Diane Kafte had received
permission from her principal to use
the book to supplement the course’s
standard text. She told angry parents
and the school board Monday night
she wanted students to read a classic
piece of literature that has some his
torical value.
But parents complained about the
harsh language in the book and
scenes involving prostitutes. One
called the book “profane, vulgar and
obscene.”
Steinbeck’s novel tells of Oklaho
ma farmers forced to move to Califor
nia and work in vegetable fields dur
ing the Depression.
Students stage
draft protests
state
United Press International
BERKELEY, Calif. — Students
staged a “death-in, ” chanted slogans
and cheered anti-war activists at
campus rallies across California in
the first major protest against re
newed draft registration.
The statewide gatherings Monday
were reminiscent of the Vietnam era
protests of a decade ago, but lacked
much of the enthusiasm.
Many of the speakers, however,
elicited loud cheers from the crowds.
Daniel Ellsberg told a rally at Ber
keley: “I commit myself to encour
age, counsel, aid and abet those who
stand in non-violent resistence” to
the draft.
Demonstrations took place Mon
day at 15 California campuses from
San Diego to Sacramento. One of the-
biggest was at Berkeley, where.
Ellsberg warned a crowd of
thousands against the kind of un
questioning obedience to the Rev.
Jim Jones that caused more than 900
Peoples Temple members lot
murder-suicide ritual in(W
1978.
“Like a generation ofparat
sent their sons to war ui
without asking why does®
have to go and die, like Jim]o|
keep hearing: ‘This is onlyi
trust me,” Ellsburg said.
“Thrice born Jimmy Carte;,
born again as President Jim
We all live in Guyana now."
Some 1,500 people turned
a rally at the California Stateli
sity at Sacramento.

Pilot: cutter was warne

United Press International
TAMPA, Fla. — The Coast Guard
cutter Blackthorn never deviated
from a collision course despite two
radio warnings and two blasts from
the tanker Capricorn’s whistle, says
the harbor pilot who was guiding the
tanker through Tampa Bay.
The two vessels collided the night
of Jan. 28 and the Blackthorn sank
within four minutes, killing 23 crew
members — the worst peacetime
accident in Coast Guard history.
Harbor pilot Harry Eugene
Knight told a Coast Guard Marine
Board of Investigation Monday how
he tried to avoid the collision.
Knight said he first saw the Black
thorn as it went under the Skyway
Bridge, about 3,500 to 4,000 feet
away.
He said he kept his eyes on the
unknown vessel and tried twice to
raise it on radio Channel 13 but re
ceived no response. He said when he
first saw the Blackthorn, it still had
time to make the 18 degree turn into
Mullet Key Channel.
“I was expecting him to begin his
turn soon,” Knight said. “There was
no course change by the other ves
sel. Shortly after that I decided he
was not going to make his course
change to come down into Mullet
Key Channel.
