By GORDON ELIOT WHITE Deseret News Washington Bureau - On a raw WASHINGTON day in the late winter of 1967, eight men entered the heavy security doors of a communications center at Cheltenham, Md and began to smash the glass fronts of teleprinter terminal sets.

They told a news conference after Brominskis ruling they were very pleased by the decision. Mrs. Kopechne. speaking in a low voice, said Ill come up here very often to see my daughter. I could never have gone to that cemetery (at nearby Larksville) if 1 knew it had been disturbed. Ill be equipment. Defense communications agency officers freely admit that the Navy paid for the Cheltenham station's capital costs, as well as the excellent Bell System maintenance during the contract term. They say the Nhvy had no interest in the $1 million in equipment, under the contract, when it was terminated. AT&T officers have been quoted as saying the Cheltenham equipment was of no value when it was smashed in 1967, that it was worn out, obsolete, and not worth salvaging. They said that it was de- stroyed fer several reasons, including fulfillment of the Navy contract which provided that no reimbursement need be made by the company fof the equipment if it had only scrap value.' None of the Cheltenham equipment was given away intact. This reporter saw and heard one of the Bell System men ask his supervisor if he could take a few small items for his own hobby use. If you take a single thing out of this the supervisor said, room, don't come back. The equipment was taken out of Cheltenham as junk by a Washington scrap dealer. The same story was repeated at two other 82B1 centers, semiauwhich were tomatic message switches for the bulk of the Navys teleprinter traffic within the I.S. and to bases around the world.

Western Union did not smash the equipment, but sold it cheaply to scrap dealers.
