significance of the salient find-
ings of the poll.
Kraft said that those who an-
swered the poll found nothing
sacrosanct about the presidency
and felt an investigation about
the conduct of the war might be
all to the good.
Vice President Hubert H.
Humphrey, the poll said, “is, if
anything, in worse shape than
President Johnson.” Twice as
many people think he’s doing a
bad job than think he’s doing a
good one, the poll said.
The poll was taken in July.
As for President Kennedy, 86
per cent of those polled thought
he was doing a fine job at the
time he was assassinated.
Whether they would have con-
tinued to think so if he had
lived, the poll commented, was
a question impossible to answer.

Bayonet Yields No Clues
To Valerie Percy Killing
KENILWORTH, Hl. (AP) —
The Kenilworth police chief
says a bayonet found in Lake
Michigan “could be the weap-
on” with which Valerie Percy,
21, was stabbed repeatedly by
her killer.
But a ChlMl police crime
laboratory technician said the
bayonet bore no traces of blood,
hair or fingerprints.
Sgt. Irwin HavHand of the
crime laboratory said Thursday
night that although the Army-
type bayonet was not rusty, it
was not a new one. He said it
had several nicks on it. The
weapon has a 10-inch blade,
with a 4-inch black plastic han-
dle.
A coroner’s aide said the mul-
tiple sUb wounds in Valerie’s
body were inflicted with a dou-
ble-edged weapon such as a
bayonet. He added, however,
that the weapon used to bludg-
eon Valerie had a cone-shaped
head or protuberance not
present on the bayonet but
which is commonly found on a
fireplace poker.
Capt. Daniel Dragel, director
of the crime laboratory, said an

Step Up Pace
By Tha Associated Press
Atty. Gen Waggoner Carr and Sen. John Tower,
stepping up the pate of their campaign for the etfien
now held by Tower, traded verbal pokes over the draft
Thursday night.
The rival candidates both had some things to say also
about the war In Viet Nam.
Carr, the Democratic nominee endorsed by President
Johi
and
sserted there arc inequities in the draft law
____ T. as a member of the Senate Armed Services
Committee, has made no effort to correct them.
Tower, the Republican who succeeded Johnson in the
Senate. rejoined that “The President has already mov-
ed to make a study of the draft, so his "Carr's criti-
cism also falls on the President.”
The attorney general spoke in Mount Pleasant at a
$5-a-plate barbecue staged by Democrats of 18 North-
east Texas counties. Those arranging it estimated 1,000
turned out.
Remarks of Tower were made in Fort Worth at a
news conference, held prior to a dinner at which ho
received a citizenship medal from the National Society
of the Sons of the American Revolution. About 800 at-
tended the dinner.
Concerning the draft, Carr told his Mount Pleasant
audience:
"I can tell you that if 1 had been a member of this
Senate Armed Services committee, I would have done
something before now. I would not have sat silently by
while the inequities grew from bad to worse.”
This country must keep on fighting in Viet Nam,
Carr said, because if the Communists are not stopped
there, ’Tomorrow they would be In Java and the next
day Australia then for surp we would have World War
in.
The attorney general likewise chided Tower for his
Senate voting record and accused Tower of “trying to
hide the fact that he fa.a Republican.”
Replying to Carr’s remarks about the draft. Tower
said his opponent should know the Senate Armed Ser-
vices Committee “is responsive to the wishes of the
administration,” adding:
' "Is he criticising President Johnson on this point?
Is he accusing such men as Democratic Sens. Dick Rus-
sell and John Stennis of inaction? 1 can tell him now
that he won’t be very effective in the Senate if he goes
around criticizing such respected senators.”
Tower said he was in favor of the administration’s
offer to pull out of South Viet Nam if the Communists
ceased aggresaion but he doubted the Reds would ac-
cept this proposal. »
The senator likewise asserted that Carr wiis conduct

Leopard Dies
After Capture
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla.
(AP) — Ivan the Terrible, the
snow leopard which escaped
from the zoo Wednesday night,
died early today, about two
hours after it was captured.
Dr. Phil Ogilvie, director of
the Lincoln Park Zoo here, said
Ivan died in its cage about 2:30
a.m. Ogilvie said death was
caused by a reaction to the
tranquilizing drug used to bring
Ivan down.
The leopard was shot by a zoo
employe with a riflefired tran-
quilizer dart shorthly after mid-

perch on a building near the
zoo.
Ivan, the third leopard to es-
cape from the soo in the past 16
years, was second to die of a
drug reaction after being recap-
tured.
“This is the danger of using
any drug,” said Ogilvie. “He
never really-came out from un-
der it.”
Ogilvie said Ivan went into
convulsions shortly after being
returned to the cage. He said
apparently the animal suffered
a paralysis of the* diaphragm.
Artificial respiration and oxy-
gen were administered but
failed to revive the leopard. ,
Ivan was spotted about mid-
night south of the zoo. A zoo em-
ploye climbed atop the building
and fired the tranquilizer dart.

Trouble over War in Viet Nam

NEW YORK (AP) — Presi-
dent Johnson is in trouble with
the American voter because of
the war in Viet Nam, says a
survey prepared for the Ameri-
can Broadcasting Co.

President John F. Kennedy

by Sen. Wayne Morse, D-Ore.
, Full results of the survey, re-
leased today, will be broadcast
Sept. 24 as “ABC Scope: The
Viet Nam War.”
John F. Kraft, Inc., which
took the poll, concludes that:
“In sum, the American people
don’t like the war in Viet Nam,

NEW YORK (AP) -A State
Supreme Court justice today
held 13 Cosa Nostra bosses in a
total of M-3-million bail after
their arrest Thursday in what
was described as the biggest
raid involving crime syndicate
figures since the 1957 Apalachin
conference .................
Ball was set at 1100,000 each-
tor the 13, all listed as promi-
nent members of the Cosa Nos
tra’g national crime network by
underworld informer Joseph
«Valachi.
Justice Joseph M. Conroy
said the men were being held
sis material witnesses in the
' investigatiow of "major crimes”
in Queens County. The group
was remanded to civil jail when
they were unable to post bond.
Chief Inspector Sanford Gare-
lik, who directed the roundup
Thursday, called it the most
important since the gangland
conference at Apalachin, N. Y.,
in 1957 waa broken up by state
police. Sixty top hoodlums and
their friends were arrested
then.
The raid Thursday came as
the group was eating in a base-
ment dining room at a Stella
restaurant in Forest Hills,
Queens. The community, about
20 minutes from Manhattan by
car, is known for its comforta-
ble apartment bouse* and tennis
stadium, home of the national
singles championships.

“The aggressor has come to
Viet Nam; the aggressor should

Gromyko declared that it was ■
the duty of every government
“to declare its support to the
heroic Vietnamese people, from
this rostrum, to denounce Amer-
ican aggression, to demand its
unconditional termination in the
north and south of Wet Nam, to-
demand the withdrawal of all
armed forces of the United Stat-
es and their allies from Vteth;
