■ Police think some of missing Weathermen who were recently indicted by a federal grand jury are hiding out in Canada, others possibly in Mexico. If their whereabouts can be traced, extradition proceedings will be started against them. . . . Meanwhile, the Conspiracy Seven national road show continues. … At New York’s Guggenheim Museum last week their fans staged a musical comedy entitled “Conspiracy Eight” (Bobby Seale was originally one of the group). . . . In California, the Chancellor of the U. of Cal. at Santa Barbara has said no to proposed speech by Jerry Rubin on April 16. (The last time one of the company—lawyer William Kunstler— played Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara lost one of its banks.) . . . Kunstler, most of whose clients seem to be on the lam, is occupying the idle hours composing a poem on the Conspiracy Trial which will be published in next month’s Avant-Garde. . . . Avant-Garde and the Guardian, incidentally, have had serious falling out over a nude sex-kitten ad Avant-Garde wanted to take in the Guardian. It was turned down not because it was too sexy but because it “exploits women.” Guardian is big on Women’s Liberation (what Presidential speechwriter Bill Safire calls Women’s Lip).
■ Republicans on Hill say hard-core opposition to President Nixon among Republicans in Senate was demonstrated on the Carswell recommittal vote, which had, from the Northeast, Javits and Goodell (N.Y.), Case (N.J.), Brooke (Mass.), Prouty (Vt.), Mathias (Md.), Schweiker (Pa.) and from Northwest, Hatfield (Ore.) voting against Carswell.
