Another bomb went off early today outside the modern New Yoik Hilton Hotel, shattering windows and awakening guests. There were no injuries. Police said witnesses saw five men in African garb fleeing the area. The explosive was placed in a sidewalk planter. Since last Monday there have been 11 terrorist bombings, three of them in California and the others in Illinois, Washington and New York. . So far most of the explosions, with radical groups often taking credit, have been aimed at public buildings. Airports have been threatened. There have been no injuries. Both the Federal Aviation Agency and the Defense Department have issued warn ings concerning threats to airplanes and federal .structures. Hampering police in heir investigations were a number of telephoned hoaxes warning of explosions that never happened. Such calls were received before both the Stanford - Southern California football game Saturday at Pale Alto and the BronOakland Raiders-Denve- r cos pro game Sunday. Searches were made at both stadiums but no explosives were found. Football fans demonstrated little fear 86,000 turned out at Stanford and 54,000 at Oakland. al lawyer Robert Lemieux serve as mediator to work out terms for the release of Cross, kidnaped a week ago, and Laoorte abducted Saturday night. The earlier communique set no new deadline on the two men's lives, and the language was considered to be more conciliatory than any since the kidnapings began. BROADCASTS PLEA The communiques came after a Sunday night broadcast in which Premier Robert Bourassa of Quebec appealed for direct communication between the terrorists and the government. The k i d n apers, members of the revolutionary Quebec Liberation Front, made these two demands: That 2 men either in jail or before the courts in connection with terrorist activities be granted safe conduct to Algeria or Cuba if they wish to go. Those accepting, should be allowed to take their wives and children. That police call off the intensive searches they have been conducting to find Cross and Laporte. DROP RANSOM The Canadian and provincial governments have repeatedly rejected these demands. Dropped was a demand for $500,000 in gold. Among those listed by the. terrorists for flights to Algeria or Cuba are fouwmen now serving prison terms, 10 under sentence and the remainder awaiting trial or free on bail awaiting sentencing. Three are serving life terms two in connection with the slaying of a gunshop manager and another who pleaded guilty to 129 bombings, including one that heavily damaged the Montreal Stock Exchange. The others are accused of charges ranging from armed robberies to bombings and ether acts of terrorism. r The commission said that despite a battery of civil rights laws, executive orders and judicial decisions enacted and handed down in the 1950s and I960, opportunity is far from achievement. The plain fact is that many of these laws are not the report well, working said. Measured by realistic standards of results, progress in ending inequity has been disappointing. The report made no direct criticism of Nixor, noting that present civil rights programs did not originate in the current administration. It said there nad never been a substantial period when civil rights enforcement was uniat a high level of formly effectiveness. ... Spoke.-me- n for the commission said the principal fault if the federal civil rights program has been an overall failure of coordination and direction. It said the Justice which has played the largest role in the field, has failed to perform effectively because of lack of sufficient civil riehts staff, in- Department, adequate narrow priorities, view of the civil rights role and overly cautious in civil approach taking rights issues to court.

The offer was made in communiques from the two front cells that kidnaped James Richard Cross, Britains trade envoy here, and Labor Minister Pierre Laporte of Quebec. The communiques said both men were in good health. Laporte was kidnaped from in front of his home Saturday while Cross was taken from his home last Monday. In an earlier communique, the Front said the mens freedom could be obtained if two of seven original demands are met by the government. velopments: The court agreed to rule on two lower court decisions involving pornography and obscene materials.

Christmas. Under Nixon's withdrawal program, 100,000 U.S. troops are scheduled to come out by May 1. Laird said the new announcement would set an interim deadline and would be part of the 100,000 figure. Laird said that, if the draft is to be eliminated, Congress will have to recognize the need to extend the Selective Service Act for at least two years. It expires next July. Such action is required if we are to sustain zero draft calls for an indefinite period and thus be assured of ending he reliance on the draft, said. It also assumes that as we move away from reliance on the draft, provisions must be made to establish a standby draft system that can be used in case of emergency. Troop Withdrawal Ahead Of Pres.
