15 Are Indicted
In Fatal Bombing
BILOXI, Mississippi—A fed-
eral grand jury in Biloxi, Missis-
sippi, has indicted 15 white men
in the fatal fire-bombing of
Negro Leader Vernon Dahmer
Senior. The FBI has termed the
incident a Ku Klux Klan effort
to discourage negro voting. The
FBI also has identified the 15
as klansmen. One is Sam Bowers
Junior, whom the FBI has label-
. ed the imperial wizard of the
militant white knights of the
klan.
Modesty Causes
Nudist Colony Try
To Sell Property
LONDON—Modesty is prompt-
. ing an English nudist colony to
try to sell its property in Hert-
• fordshire. Spokesmen for the
five acres Sun Club say they are
afraid a seven-story apartment
building is going to be built
• next door—and part of the nud-
: ists’ territory would be visible
to the apartment dwellers.
The society asked permission
to sell the land for use as build-
ing property. In crowded Britain,
landowners must secure permis-
sion to put up buildings on un-
developed land.
■ - A , spokesman for the area’s
. rural council says the nuddists
do not really need to worry
. about peeping toms yet. No
move has been made to erect the
apartment building.
And in case it is built—the
council spokesman adds—more
trees can be planted to safe-
guard privacy.
. The nuddists say if they can
sell their land as a building site,
- they might raise enough cash to
buy a large, distant and—above
all—secluded plot in some re-
mote spot.

TOWER WOULD
BACK LBJ FOR
VIET STEP-UP
DALLAS—Senator John Tow-
er said today he would support
President Johnson if he orders
the United States to intensify
its actions to end the Viet Nam
war.
The Senator said in an inter-
view at Dallas that he believes
the majority of Americans also
would support such a move.
Tower was among more than
20 members of the Senate Arm-
ed Forces and Foreign Relations
committees who met privately
with the President at the White
House last night. The meeting
was off-the-record and Tower de-
clined to discuss it.
The Dallas Times Herald said
it learned the President asked
the Senators if they would sup-
port an "intensification of, our
military actions in Viet Nam.
"I am in accord with the be-
lieve that our military efforts
should be intensified,” Tower
said. "This has been my position
and is still my position. I believe
it is the position of the Ameri-
can people, too.”
Tower declined comment on
the charge of Texas Attorney
General Waggoner Carr, his op-
ponent for re-election in No-
vember, that the Senator’s two
recent trips to Viet Nam have
served no useful purpose.
Said Tower:
“I think the President ap-
parently wanted the impressions
of those of us who had been on
the scene and who have some
knowledge and opinions on The
situation in Southeast Asia.”

Goldstrand Hurt
ATLANTA-—Race Car Driver
Dick Goldstrand of North Holly-
wood, California, was injured
today when his auto crashed and
overturned during a practice run
for Sunday’s A.tlanta 300. Gold-
strand was taken to a hospital,
suffering a possible fractured
pelvis and other injuries. He was
injured on the second ■ turn,
when his car skidded into a wall,
and rolled over.
De GAULLE IN FURTHER
TOUR OVER RUSSIA
MOSCOW — President De-
Gaulle of France flew from Mos-
cow across the Ural Mountains
today to the Siberian scientific
and industrial center of Novosi-
birsk. He was accompanied by
Soviet President Podgorny. This
is the third day of DeGaulle’s
eleven-day state visit in the Sov-
iet Union.
DeGaulle will visit several
cities and the site of the World
War Two battle of Stalingrad
before returning to Moscow
Wednesday. Flag-waving Siber-
ians gave DeGaulle a warm wel-
come today in Novosibirsk.
THE MeBRAYERS ARE

dren, Jimmy, Johnny and San-
dy, of Beaumont. Her daughter,

Letters From
Our Readers
EQUAL RIGHTS
OF OFFENDERS
The constitution of our state
and nation as written (and as re-
written occasionally by the U. S.
Supreme Court) have jealously
guarded the rights of criminals
or persons suspected of crime.
Strict guidelines have evolved,
such as:
1—No person can be request-
ed or required to give a confes-
sion without first having h i s
constitutional rights explained
to him, be afforded the services
of an attorney—and being
warned of the consequences of
any statement he gives.
2—Any person arrested must
be taken immediately before a
magistrate where he is to be
warned and his constitutional
rights explained to him.
3—Any person arrested for a
crime must be warned by some
person other than the arresting
officer and must be accorded
and afforded every opportunity
to secure the services of an at-
torney to warn him and explain
his rights to him.
The gravement of these
restrictions is anchored on the
foundation that a criminal or
suspect must from the very be-
ginning be warned or advised of
his right and they must be ex-
plained to him and he must be
accorded’ an opportunity to pro-
tect those rights.
What about the victim of a
crime?
Hope is budding for the of-
fende. There is now being stud-
ied as a prelude to preparation
of legislation to establish equal
rights for the offendee.
It is being proposed that the
new Code of Criminal Procedure
in Texas be amended by t h e
legislature so as to require any
person who plans, contemplates,
premeditates, or undertakes the
commission of a crime against
the person or property of anoth-
er to first warn his victim of
his intention and afford the vic-
tim a reasonable opportunity not
only to be advised of his rights
before the crime is committed
but to take such steps as a r e
reasonably necessary to defend
against the crime. He should—
and under such law would—be
given the opportunity to secure
the services of an attorney, po-
lice officer or other person or
persons before the criminal
commits the crime in order that
his constitutional rights be se-
