■ Hard on the families: David Dellinger of the New Mobilization Committee (and the Chicago Eight) made dramatic promise last month: on Nov. 15 he would publish a Hanoi-issued list of American POWs in North Vietnam. The fifteenth came and went: State Department has had to tell hundreds of agonized friends and relations of missing soldiers who called in after waiting in vain for announcement that it doesn’t have the list. No explanation from Dellinger & Co. . . . Fancy that: on Friday, Nov. 14, a bunch of SDS-Weathermen went to Moratorium Hq. in Washington with following proposition: If you give us $20,000, we won’t tear up the town. Mobe leaders (more courageous than many college administrators) turned down the deal as blackmail. (That was the night many windows went boom in downtown Washington.) . . . Among the observers at M-Day, former Secretary of State Dean Acheson, wearing a red-white-and-blue armband. . . . Biggest blasts in Washington demonstration directed at Spiro Agnew: “Spiro Agnew is an Edsel.” “Free Kim” (his daughter who was forbidden to wear a black armband). And finally: “Spiro Agnew Eats Grapes.” . . . Daily World reports that Brig. Gen. S. L. A. Marshall has been fired from his job as three-time-a-week news commentator for Channel 4 in Detroit as a result of critical commentary on the Oct. 15 Moratorium. (Calling Spiro Agnew!)

■ If only Arthur Goldberg would make up his mind: Does he want to run for governor? A Quayle poll finds he leads Rockefeller now 58 to 33 per cent: for the Senate? It’s Goldberg over Charles Goodell, 68 to 27 per cent. But until he decides, Stephen Smith, Ted Sorensen, Paul O’Dwyer, Howard Samuels, Jonathan Bingham, Robert Wagner, FDR Jr., John Marchi and a host of others won’t know which way to jump. … In Florida, Sen. Spessard Holland (D.) announces he won’t run again (health), Rep. William Cramer (R.) is happy about prospect of running for Senate. Florida now has Republican governor and senator, has gone GOP four out of last five Presidential elections.
