lp Diet specialist Dick Gregory and
--~ .civil rights actit~ Wil_
liams were arres`f~2!' outside CIA
headquarters in McLean late yester-
day morning and charged with tres-
passing, Fairfax County police said.
The incident came one day after
561 demonstrators were arrested for
blocking entrances to the agency in
protest of American policies in Cen-
tral America and South Africa.
Mr. Gregory, 54, and Mr. Williams,
61, positioned themselves on a traf-
fic island in the road leading to the
CIA's main gate about 11 a.m., said
county police spokeswoman Judy
Dailey.
Agency security officers asked
them to leave, and when they re-
fused, county police arrested them.
They declined to accept summonses
and were transported without inci-
dent to the county's Adult Detention
Center, Officer Dailey said.
A county magistrate released
them on $500 bond each. Mr. Wil-
liams is scheduled for trial June 9,
and Mr. Gregory's trial is set for July
2.
Meanwhile, 91 demonstrators
who were arrested at CIA headquar-
ters Monday and charged with ob-
struction of free passage were ar-
raigned yesterday in Fairfax County
General District Court. All but nine
were released on personal recogni-
zance orbonds ranging from $500 to
$1,000, with non-jury trial dates
scattered from May to July.
Among them was David Dellin-
ger, one of the original Chicago 7.
Mr. Dellinger was released yester-
day on personal recognizance and is
scheduled for a trial June 25, said
Fairfax County Commonwealth's At-
torney Robert F. Horan.
Of the nine still in jail, seven -
four men and three women -were
denied bond because they refused to
give authorities their names. 'IWo
other women gave their names but
were not released after they refused
to sign court documents: None of
them is a celebrity, said county Sher-
iff M. Wayne Huggins.
The demonstrators who refused
to cooperate were ordered held be-
hind bars until their trial date, Mr.
Horan said.
In all, 80 protesters were held
overnight for refusing to give their
names or failing to post bond, Mr.
Huggins said. Former Catholic
priest and anti-war activist Philip
Berrigan, also arrested, posted bond
Monday, Mr. Huggins said.
Maximum penalty for obstruction
of free passage, a misdemeanor, is a
year in jail and a $1,000 fine, Mr.
Horan said.
