John Froines, a Chicago Seven
defendant, will speak tomorrow night on
proposed anti-war activities in
Washington this spring.

The speech is part of a program
sponsored by University and community
anti-war groups.

Also planned for this week is a
showing of a film entitled "Time is
Running Out." The film focuses on the
Indochina War and the People's Peace Treaty,
which was signed by over 2,000 area residents.
It will be shown Wednesday in Newcomb Hall
Ballroom at 1 p.m., 4 p.m., and 6 p.m. Another
showing will be held Thursday at 7 p.m. in the
auditorium of the New Chemistry Building.

The Thursday night showing will precede
Mr. Froines' speech, which is scheduled for 8
p.m.

A number of student and community
organizations will meet at 9 p.m. Wednesday, in
301 Wilson Hall, to plan the spring's events.
These organizations have been invited to
consolidate their activities under the name The
Charlottesville Coalition for Peace and Justice.

The People's Coalition for Peace and Justice,
a national group sponsoring the May action,
will ask the coalition to approve a three point
program.

It includes proposals for the withdrawal of
all forces from Indochina by a fixed timetable,
the establishment of a guaranteed annual
income of $6,500 a year and the freeing of all
political prisoners.

During the Wednesday organizational
meeting, the Charlottesville Coalition for Peace
and Justice will formulate plans for the 1971
spring anti-war drive.

Some of the groups that will be represented
at the meeting are the Virginia Progressive
Party, the Virginia Mobilization Committee,
Charlottesville Draft Resistance, Virginia
Council on Human Relations, Virginia Weekly
and Black Students for Freedom.
