8-A THE PADUCAH SUN, PADUCAH, KENTUCKY MONDAY, APRIL 284 anti-nukes arrested tainment From the stage, a leader reminded the crowd calling for "more, more" from the performers that they were there for "a political rally." Other anti-nuclear demonstrations this weekend, given impetus by last month's near-catastrophe at the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant in Pennsylvania, were staged in Vermont, Arkansas, New York state and on a Navajo reservation in New Mexico. the guards, complaining that they were getting tired, asked the demonstrators to walk to the buses. "We've been dealing with each other for about a year and a half, so we know some of them," Rockwell spokesman Sam Thomas said. On Saturday, about 10,000 persons assembled to sing, hear speeches, and demand that the plant be closed or converted to non-military use. Many seemed more interested in the enter suburb south of Rocky Flats where a makeshift processing center was set up in a warehouse used by the U.S.

Geological Survey to store rock samples. The protesters, many of them laughing and calling to their friends, were photographed and then passed through an assembly-line operation that had the same coordinated precision that marked the protest itself. It took 10 minutes to process each protester. They were charged with trespassing under the U.S. Atomic Energy Act of 1954, a misdemeanor carrying a maximum fine of $1,000.

They were released and ordered to appear in U.S. District Court in Denver next month. Many of the protesters spent weeks training in Denver to prepare for the demonstration By ANDREW ROSENTHAL Associated Press Writer GOLDEN, Colo. (AP) -Volunteer attorneys circulated among anti-nuclear activists, offering advice and helping to keep order as more than 280 persons were arrested in a tightly-orchestrated protest at the Rocky Flats nuclear weapons plant. "It's kind of like a play.

But that's cool. It helps keep things under control. I guess there's an art to getting arrested," plant spokesman Bernie Velasquez said. At least 284 protesters were arrested Sunday in what organizers called a deliberate act of civil disobedience blocking access to the plant, the nation's only producer of plutonium "triggers" for nuclear weapons. Buses took the arrested demonstrators to a west Denver at the plant, which is operated by Rockwell International Corp.

under contract to the U.S. Department of Energy. Former Pentagon analyst Daniel EUsberg was among those arrested at Rocky Flats. He was arrested on a railroad spur leading to the plant, near the spot where he was arrested one year ago Sunday. More than 200 persons were arrested during a seven-month period last year.

Ellsberg and 11 others were given suspended sentences early this year after a mass trial on county trespassing charges. About noon Sunday, more than 350 chanting protesters began walking toward Rocky Flats and split into three groups headed for the main gate on the plant's west side, the east gate and the railroad tracks. At the west gate, more than 200 demonstrators lined up across from the gate, a line of Rockwell security guards in front of them. On a signal by organizer Chris Moore, the protesters moved across the road in groups as a Rockwell spokesman said they would be arrested if they crossed a white line marking off federal property. The protesters crossed the line and sat in the roadway in small groups.

Security guards and federal marshals moved in immediately. Some protesters apologized as they let their bodies go limp in the arms of guards. Some of EARLY BUY Iv Cfi" 1 ty ''t.
