IT'S SEM\?\HG OUT SOME ALA KM. IS Gary Hart and Walter Mon dale sought liberal votes in New York and Connecticut Monday, with Hart saying the former vice president’s Central Amer ica policy reminds him of Viet nam and Mondale calling his ri val weak on the nuclear freeze. The two front-runners both began their day in the Empire State, where a major primary showdown is coming up April 3, then joined civil rights activist Jesse Jackson on the campaign trail in Connecticut to make fi nal appearances before Tues day’s election there. Hart is favored in Connecti cut and a poll published Sunday in the Hartford Courant and taken last week by the Univer sity of Connecticut showed the senator from Colorado with 48 percent in the state, Mondale with 28 percent, Jackson with 5 percent and 19 percent unde cided. A victory in Connecticut would end a two-week dry spell in primary contests for Hart and give him a sweep of all six New England states in prima ries and caucuses this year. But in delegate-rich New York, a poll by USA Today over the weekend showed Mondale with 44 percent, Hart with 37 percent, Jackson with 8 percent and undecided 11 percent. There are 52 delegates at stake in Connecticut, 252 in New York and 172 in Pennsyl vania a week later. The latest UPI delegate tally showed Mon dale has 673, Hart 393 and Jackson 85, with 1,967 needed for the Democratic presidential nomination. Virginia Democrats were completing their caucuses Mon day, with Jackson and Mondale tied as the meetings entered the final round. Mondale was fa vored to take the lead as most of the last 28 percent came from conservative rural areas. Through Sunday, Jackson and Mondale each had 31 per cent of the vote. Hart had 18 percent, the same as the per centage of uncommitted dele gates lining up behind the fa vorite-son effort of Cov. Charles Robb. Hart called a news confer ence outside the United Nations to denounce what he said was Mondale’s position in favor of leaving U.S. forces in Central America until “vague negotia tions” are held with the Marxist- led government of Nicaragua. Hart said there is a “100 de gree” difference between his and Mondale’s policies in the region and that pattern stretches back to the 1960s.

Prosecutors announced last week they would not pursue a second trial for Ceter, but State District Judge John Ovard was on vacation. The judge offi cially dismissed the charges fol lowing a 15-minute hearing Monday. Meanwhile, an attorney for said he was studying the possi bility of a civil suit against the prosecution for sending Ceter to prison for a robbery he did not commit. Ceter, 26, of Denmark, S.C., was convicted and sentenced to life for a 1982 robbery. He was freed after 16 months in prison and national publicity forced prosecutors to grant him a new trial. NAACP lawyer George Hairston, Ceter’s lead counsel, indicated the possibility of a civil suit alleging Ceter’s civil and other rights were violated when he was sent to prison. “Generally, the prosecution is immune from sucn suits, but in this case I’m not sure,” Hairston said. “The rule is prosecution is immune when it is acting within the scope of its responsibility. But once it goes beyond the range of this responsbility, that conduct is no more immune.” Ceter, who insisted from the day of his arrest that he was in nocent, said he thinks the Texas judicial system “owes humanity something.” spent the wetia family in Den® Ceter with his S.C. “They owe humanity i right to seek out the protect innocent peoplesotl aren’t unjustly accused soft-spoken Ceter said froml mother's home Sunday.
