"If we lost on theone sl Smith was represented pi at the hearing by attorney Douglas Dalton who unsuccessfully sought a two-week continuance, claim 1 A limited ground, our bag pf rocks to throw at the other, side would be empty, Farrell said. Farrell said Smith also may have received verbal commitments from harbor officials and secretly taped them.

Alleged Boast In a reference to a tape, recording presented to the county Grand Jury in which Smith allegedly bragged of controlling the Harbor Commission, Farrell said: "I don't know how many tapes there were. I don't know what was on the tapes. I don't know who said what. "I don't know whether; contract provisions were waived by -tity officers or anyone else. "I think the only way to find out is to get in litigation arid we might get a bombshell dropped on us." John F.

Parkinson, assistant general manager of the Harbor Department, added: "We don't know what else in the way of record- ing equipment he may have had or who he may have been talking to."

Potter Jr. moved that Smith's Trade Center Development Corp. be notified it is in default and that the contract be forfeit-' ed without further action if the defaults are not cured, within 60 days.

The motion was seconded by Councilman John S. Gibson Jr. and Councilman L. E. Timberlake voted "aye." Bernardi cast the lone dissenting vote after de-' claring: "It's been a bad deal for the city all along, and apparently from what is being stated here, it would appear to me that possibly somebody could go out with a couple of more gold shovels, as they did before, and dig a few more holes over at this area in the harbor and maybe post another bond within the 60 days and the terms of the contract conceivably, at least under some interpretations, would have been met.

'Another SO Years' "And we'd be saddled with this thing for another 50 years. This is what i concerns me." Bernardi's mention of gold shovels was in reference to an elaborate groundbreaking ceremony attended by Mayor Sam Yorty and other key officials last June 8 at the World Trade Center site. The Smith contract was sent to the Board of Referred Powers because Harbor Commissioner Taul Watanabe has had personal business dealings with Smith. The city attorney ruled any action by the Harbor board would constitute a conflict of interest because of the association between the two men." yk x- lit1- 1 STUDENTS Continued from Third Page party this summer. Lyon said the placement office "cannot be used as a medium for political propaganda." A mimeographed statement from the demonstrators, an ad hoc group, replied that Lyon's "decision to permit only government propaganda groups (the Air Force and Central Intelligence Agency were named) to use the placement office violates this college's claim to neutrality.

A policy forbidding obstructive demonstrations on campus was adopted Dec. 7 and again Jan. 11 by the College Council, a student-faculty group. It was adopted to protect the privacy of members of the college community" and to prevent disruption "Of "the ordinary business of the college." At least two of the" 12 students who signed up for interviews Wednesday were demonstrators. One, Richard Fineberg, a student at Claremont Gra-duate School, said he wanted both to provide the opportunity for students to violate the demonstration policy and to debate with Air recruiters on the war.

But the recruiters, Capt. F. H. Jorgensen and Technical Sgt. James D.

Andrews, refused Fineberg's request to hold the interview in public. Asked by Miss Walton if he would like the interview in private, Fineberg quipped: "I don't knolv. I forgot my lines." All interviews were canceled after a nondemon-strator, Douglas Grim-wood of the Claremont Men's College, failed to obtain an interview in private.
