He said Democratic party divi-

watered down in a Democratic
effort to placate all the rival

Morton's argument for the elec-

The largest contingent of
high school students will be
competing in literary and ath-
letic Interscholastic League
competitions at NTSC. Details
on athletic competition are on
Page 8, Sec. 2. These athletic
and literary events are expect-
ed to attract about 1,500 today
and Saturday.
Saturday at TWU, about 800
high school boys and girls wil
participate in a regional 4-H

CRITICAL
Pyun, formerly a close associ-
ate of Rhee, has become increas-
ingly critical of the government’s
domestic policies. Now an Eng-
lish professor, Pyun has been
mentioned as a possible member
of a reshuffled Cabinet.
He published an open letter in
a Seoul newspaper urging Rhee
to discard Lee.
The Inchon demonstrators shout-
ed for the resignation of Lee, de-
claring his election with Rhee
March 15 was rigged. The youths
smashed four windows in head-
quarters of Rhee's Liberal party.
Unlike the rioting Tuesday in
Seoul and other major cities,
there was no bloodshed. The po-
lice — already severely criticized
for killing protest marchers Tues-
day—fired three blank shells over
the Inchon demonstrators but oth-
erwise made no attempt to dis-
perse them.
WATER WAGONS
The police even provided three
water wagons for the students.
It was the third consecutive day
of antigovernment demonstrations
in Inchon. The port is not one of
the five Korean cities put under
martial law Tuesday, when at
least 125 persons were killed in
Seoul and other centers in the
near-revolt against the govern-
ment.
The general public was quiet in
Seoul, though there were rumors
that university students planned
another big protest Saturday.
But in Seoul opponents of Rhee
in the National Assembly scuffled
for five minutes in the assembly
chamber with deputies from the
president’s Liberal party.
HOUSTON (AP)—Police said a
16-year-old boy who wondered
what sex would be like admitted
stabbing to death Thursday night
a young girl who refused to enter
some woods with him.
Linda Ruble, 13, was stabbed
with a hunting knife about a half
block from her home at 7:30 p.m.
as she walked toward her home
from a grocery store.
Police Sgt. R. L. Ramirez said
the boy, a high school junior,
signed a statement in which he
admitted plunging a knife into the
girl when she screamed for help
as he tried to force her into the
woods near her home.
Two boys, who attended the
same high school as the 16-year-
old boy, heard the girl scream
and tried to capture the youth.
One of the boys, Michael Lethcoe,
16, suffered stab wounds in the
back and left side and was taken
to a hospital for treatment. The
two youths were able to identify
the boy for police.
Ramirez said the youth who at-
tacked the girl fled to his home
after fighting off the two boys.

Irene Garza, 25, missing for six
days, was pulled from the canal
about a mile from her home and
less than a dozen blocks from the
busy downtown section of this
Lower Rio Grande Valley city.
The autopsy showed the teacher
died from blows on the head be-
fore being tossed into the small
canal.
Authorities estimated she had
been in the water since Saturday
night, shortly after leaving home
in the family car to attend church.
The car was found near the
church Sunday.
Police and the Hidalgo County
Sheriffs Department gave sus-
pects lie detector tests.
While police investigated,
schools in the city delayed classes
until 9 a.m. so the many school

ESTES PARK. Colo. (AP)-An
Air Force helicopter today recov-
ered the bodies of two university
students who perished in falls on
14,255-foot Longs Peak.
The two were found dead on the
mountain Thursday after their
girl companion had scrambled to
safety.
Evidence showed both David L.
Jones, 19, of Wester Groves, Mo.,
and Prince F. Willmon, 23, of Fort
Smith, Ark., died in terrible falls
down the rocky slopes.
Jane Bendixen, 19, of Daven-
port, Iowa, staggered to shelter,
dazed, cut and frostbitten, late
Wednesday.
Dick Boyer, asistant to the
Rocky Mountain National Park
superintendent, said Jones ap-
peared to have fallen at least 1.-
000 feet. Willmon, who had been
left in a snow cave farther up
the mountain, had wandered off
and fallen about 400 feet.
“He may have been delirious at
the time and made a final effort
to get down the mountain,” Boy-
er said.
Members of searching parties,
after finding the bodies Thursday,
carried them to a 12,500-foot alti-
tude. Today, without the usual
wind whipping the peak, a heli-
copter from Denver’s Lowry Air
Force Base was able to land on
a rock-strewn slope to pick up the
canvas-wrapped bodies.
The bodies were taken to near-
by Boulder, site of the University
of Colorado which the climbers at-
tended.
The three and a fourth compan-
ion, James A. Creig, 21, of Glen-
view, Ill., began their outing Mon-
day. Greig became ill the next
day, however, and turned back.
Miss Bendixen. taken to a hos-
pital at Boulder, said the three
had climbed almost to the sum-
mit on Tuesday when the blizzard
hit them. She and Willmon were
badly frostbitten.
Miss Bendixen and Jones left
Willmon in an ice cave for shelter
on Wednesday and began a peril-
ous descent over snow and ice-
covered trails to seek help.
Miss Bendixen said she fell
down a rocky cliff a short time
after she passed Jones. She was
knocked unconscious.
When she recovered, she yelled
for Jones but got no response.
She finally made her way to a
mountain home at Allenspark, 12
miles south of here, and called
authorities.

Rogers promised vigorous en-
forcement action where needed.
“Its impact, once the expected
legal challenges have been dis- —
posed of in the normal judicial
process, will be substantial, I be-
lieve, both in establishing the right
to vote of those who have been
discriminated against on account
of race or color, and by deterring
future discriminations by persons
acting under color of state law."
Rogers said of the bill.

A cordon of policemen kept Ne-
goes and white persons separated
in Macon Thursday night while
robed members the Ku Klux Klan,
Inc., erected a red-bulbed electric
cross at a house occupied by three
Negro families.
The klansmen were protesting
renting to the Negroes of a con-
verted brick store building in the
previously white neighborhood.
The meeting was orderly and
no incidents were reported. Sev-
eral hundred persons—white and
Negro—asembled to watch the
demonstration.
The display marked a klan in-
novation-use of a plug-in remov-
able cross instead of the usual
crude wooden device flaming
from kerosene - soaked burlap
wrapping. The new cross, about
4 by 6 feet with 50 to 75 bulbs,
was plugged into an electric out-
let at the home of a sympathetic
white resident. After an hour or
so, it was taken down and re-
moved, presumably for future
use
Police said the demonstration
was not officially sanctioned but
since it was on private property
and none of the 100 to 130 robed
klansmen was masked, there was
nothing for them to do about it
except to keep order. If the dem-
onstrators had donned klan hoods,
they would have violated both
state law and a city ordinance.

“My name will be placed in

fellow Sens. Wayne Morse of Ore-

DENVER TODAY
He speaks again today in Den-
ver. and some supporters believe
he might announce his plans there
since he has tried in recent
months to align himself strongly
with the West.
Johnson has been evasive about
his intentions for four years, but
Speaker Sam Rayburn (D-Tex),
long his advisor in Congress,
launched a Johnson-for-President
campaign in Texas several
months ago.
"He’s my candidate,” Raybum
told reporters, adding that he
hoped other states would climb
aboard the Johnson bandwagon.
He was told Thursday that Ray-
burn had said time was running
out and that Johnson should make
a formal announcement.
SOME SUGGESTIONS
"I’m not familiar with that
quotation, but I do know he has
made some suggestions,” Johnson
replied. “I do know my state and
other states will place my name
in nomination. I am very honored.
But my colleagues have elected
me leader of the Senate, and I
am presently engaged in trying
to do that job the best I can.”
SEOUL, Korea (AP)—An-
ex-premier today urged Pres-
I ident Syngman Rhee to dump
Vice President-elect Lee Ki-
Poong, target of antigovern-
ment rioting. He indicated
Rhee is considering this ac-
tion.
The ex-premier, Y. T. Pyun,
spoke with a reporter after a
conference with Rhee at the end
of another tense day during which
10,000 teen-age students demon-
strated in the nearby port of In-
chon.
Pyun said Rhee has a definite
plan for solving South Korea's
grave political crisis. “Re has
formed certain ideas in his mind
regarding what to do,” Pyun said.
“His ideas are roughly along my
lines.”
