hi. Homemade affairs using a beer can filled with what appeared to be nitro glycerin, a timing mechanism and fuse fusing device That was a blasting cap about a number four blasting cap. The first was discovered in the record room of the administration building shortly before 3:30

00:00:18.050 - 00:00:35.760

a.m. The timer was set to detonate at four. It was disarmed on the scene taken temporarily to the Presidio by a demolition unit from the Sixth Army. A few hours later, around 8. 30 the second bomb was discovered on the fourth floor of the psychology building

00:00:36.110 - 00:00:53.340

outside the office of Department Chairman John Bundle of the political Science Department. Professor Benzo. Exactly Where was the bomb found? Well, Claude, as I understand it, about 8. 30 this morning there was a bomb leaning up against the door here. And someone on this hallway passed

00:00:53.340 - 00:01:10.260

by and heard it ticking and reported it to the authorities. What time did you come in? I came in about 9. 15. Do you feel this? This bomb, if it was a live bomb, might have been intended for you personally. Well, I have no reason to

00:01:10.260 - 00:01:26.520

know specifically, but I do think that it probably was not accidental that it was outside my door. There are two possibilities in this building. One is the ROTC, and from information that I've gotten from other sources higher in the administration. The other possibility is this office.

00:01:27.040 - 00:01:42.150

Now the reasons for that are not clear to me. Claude are not prepared at this time to speculate as to what might be involved. My own capacities on the campus involved me in a number of different enterprises. I'm involved with different forms of academic problems and

00:01:42.160 - 00:01:54.880

have been involved with a number of questions that are quite combustible in terms of the involvement and commitment of lots of people. And there's a good deal of intense disagreement on matters that are of some urgency to the college. What do you think the college ought

00:01:54.880 - 00:02:07.670

to do about this? Well, I think that one of the problems very quickly that needs to be brought to the chancellor's office is the fact that we have too little money to hire the proper kind of security force that is needed to patrol this campus at

00:02:07.670 - 00:02:25.030

night. It, too, was taken to the Presidio, where both bombs were loaded aboard special detonation vehicles and driven under escort across the Golden Gate Bridge and out to Fort Cronkite on the Marine coast. It has been determined by then that the timing device and the blasting

00:02:25.030 - 00:02:42.190

cap we're both functional. But no final analysis had been made of the liquid the explosive, which army experts believed at that time might be nitro glycerin. The bombs, heavily wrapped in newspaper, were stored pending further investigation in one of the old World War One concrete bunkers

00:02:42.190 - 00:03:01.380

high in the coastal hills at Cronkite, classes on campus were not interrupted by the discovery and removal of the explosives. In fact, most of the students didn't even know anything about it. But a quiet search of the campus buildings continue throughout most of the afternoon. Late

00:03:01.380 - 00:03:11.750

this afternoon, the two cans of explosives were taken from the concrete bunker down to the crime lab at the Hall of Justice. For final, detailed analysis, this is Claude Man, reporting from San Francisco
