Speakers to Assail U.S. Spy Activities At B.U. Teach-In

Robert Meeropol, the son of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, and Eqbal Ahmad, co-defendant in the Harrisburg eight trial, will speak as part of a teach-in, "The CIA, Intelligence and Repression," tonight at Boston University Law School.

The teach-in, sponsored by the Boston Teach-In Committee and the Public Education Project on the Intelligence Community, will continue tomorrow with workshops on the CIA, native Americans, S. 1, the controversial bill that would rewrite the U.S. Criminal Code, the U.S. role in South Africa, and related subjects.

Susan Redes, a spokesman for the teach-in committee, said yesterday that she expects Meeropol will discuss the Rosenberg case and its relation to domestic intelligence activities. Eqbal Ahmad, she said, will speak on international intelligence practices.

The workshops are open to the public, Redes said. "We're trying to hook people into some of the groups in the city doing anti-intelligence work,"

The teach-in's organizers say they expect a turnout of from 200 to 300 people. A spokesman for the CIA in Cambridge said he was not familiar with the teach-in, and declined to comment on the anti-intelligence movement in general.
