FBI Admits
Taking Pictures
Near Trial Site
Chattanooga, Tenn., Mar. 4
W* — The FBI took 723 pho-
tographs near the Chattanooga
federal building and a hotel a
block away during the week
before a jury was chosen to
try James Hoffa on jury tamp-
ering charges.
Everrett Ingram, in charge
of the Knoxville FBI office, re-
vealed this today at a hearing
on defense charges that the
FBI is watching Hoffa, five
men on trial with him and his
defense too closely.
Ingram testified that five
persons, none of whom is on
trial but all closely associated
■with Hoffa were the objects
of the surveillance.
Hoffa appears in 14 of the
723 pictures.
In a sidewalk news confer-
ence during lunch, Hoffa de-
scribed the picture - taking as
unAmeriean and more in keep-
ing with the practice of a dic-
tatorship than a democracy.
He said:
“Did you ever think the peo-
ple of Chattan ooga would
have their pictures taken, and
become a part of the FBI files,
just because they went to the
post office to mail a post-
card?"
He said the persons who ap-
peared in the pictures can be
treated as common ordinary
criminals by the gvernment in
the future.
The photographs were taken
by a total of 26 FBI agents
from Jan. 17 through Jan. 23.
The trial opened with selec-
tion of the jury Jan. 20, and
juror* were not seated until
Jan. 27th.
Ingram turned records of
the FBI’s agents' actions over
to Judge Wilson for a private
inspection. The judge com-
mented :
“There is not a single
report in here relating to the
surveillance of the defendants
or their counsel. We’re not
here on a fishing expedition to
determine how the FBI op-
erates."

Palace Prayers
For King Paul
Athens, Mar. 4 LW — The
primate of Greece, Archbishop
Chryssostomos of Athens, went
to the royal palace today to
lead prayers for the life of
gravely stricken King Paul.
He arrived at midday after
palace spokesman announced
that the Greek monarch had
passed a quite night.
The palace also said that the
king’s elimination reported by
his doctors yesterday to be
steadily lessening showed
“some signs of increasing.”
Since early morning Greek
Orthodoxy’s revered Ikon, a
gold and jewel-encrusted paint-
ing of the Virgin Mary, rested
near the king’s bedside.
It was rushed to the 62-year-
old king in the dark hours be-
fore dawn as he lay afflicted
with complications that follow-
ed an emergency stomach oper-
ation Feb. 21.
At midday the palace issued
a formal denial of reports that
special medicines had been
sought for the king from
abroad.
A statement said medicines
bad been offered by donors
outside Greece but were not
requested or accepted by
Greece. The statement said:.....
“All necessary medical sup-
plies and equipment are avail-
able at the palace.”
Goldwater Says
New Tax Code
Is Objective
Concord, N. H., Mxr. 4 Ml
— Senator Barry Goldwater
says that, if he’s elected pre»-
ident, he will move immediate-
ly to rewrite the nation’s tax
laws. He also says he would
cut federal spending.
In a speech in Concord this

convinced the budget can be
balanced without hurting any
program.
Before being inaugurated,
Goldwater said, he would
choose a panel of labor, busi-
ness, academic and legislative
leaders to frame a new tax
code. He said the code would
put special emphasis on the in-
vestment of money.

natics are waging an unscrupu-
lous fight against legislation
to curb the mail order traf-
fic in firearms. In prepared
Senate testimony, the Con-
necticut Democrat says some
opponents think the proposed
firearms bill is a conspiracy
to disarm the American public.
Dodd says he intends to ex-
pose these people. Dodd is
chief sponsor of the firearms
bill.

Today in History
By Associated Press
Today is Wednesday, Mar.
4, the 64th day of 1964. There
are 302 days left in the year.
Highlight in History
On this date in 1789, the
first US congress met in New
York City and the Constitu-
tion went into effect in the
ratifying states. Formal ses-
sions did not begin until April
6.
On this date—
In 1629, the Massachusetts
Bay Company received a royal
charter, then was transferred
to America where it became
a colony instead of a ruling
body in England.
In 1826, the charter for
the first railway in the US
went to the Granite Railway
Company whose facilities were
used to haul stone for the
Bunker Hill Monument.
In 1909, the first national
game law passed and forbid
the transportation of birds.
In 1933, Franklin Roosevelt
was inaugurated for his first
term as president of the Unit-
ed States.
In 1945, the Russians reach-
ed the Baltic sea in their drive
across Germany’s province of
Pomerania during World War
II.
Ten years ago . . . Chicago
lawyer J. Ernest Wilkins be-
came the first Negro to hold
secondary cabinet rank when
President Eisenhower appoint-
ed him assistant secretary of
labor in charge of internation-
al labor affairs.
Five years ago . .. President
Eisenhower said it would be
futile and disastrous for the
non • C o m n» u a iat world to
mount a general mobilisation
to achieve constant readiness
against possible Russian at-
tack.
One year ago ... A hospital
bus plunged off Welfare Is-
land into Now York City’s East
River, killing seven of the elev-
en persons aboard.

Four Americans
In Spain Face
Murder Trial
Barcdlona, Spain, Mar. 4 M
—Four Americans, an English
girl and a Spanish woman went
on trial in Spain today for a
robbery slaying that the prose-
cution says netted only $33.
More than 500 persons—in-
cluding consular representatives
of the United States and Brit-
tain—packed the courtroom in
Barcelona’s Palace of Justice.
The court is expected to hear
an account of greed, lust and
violence culminating in the
-1962 killing of Francisco Ro-
birosa, a furniture dealer.
The defendants include 23-
year-old William Wagner, an
American deserter from the
US ,Army in Germany. He is
accused of knifing Robirosa in
his shop while two other
Americans, James Johnston
and John Hand, stood guard
outside.
Wagner is a native of New-
ark, N. J. Johnson, a self-styled
language professor, was horn
in Bluejacket, Okla., and Hand
is from Southfield, Mich.
Johnston is 30 and Hand 40.
By LEO AN AY I
Washington, Mar. 4 Wl—It
would be an interesting pas-
time to probe deeply into re-
current disputes and crises in
an effort to find a common de-
nofruinator. . .a common link.
They are not all by-products
of the East-West struggle, al-
though they may be compli-
cated by that struggle. It is
not at all sure, either, that they
stem from the new wave of na-
tionalism, although nationalism
does get into the act sooner
or later.
The Panama crisis has abated
somewhat. There is hope that
a settlement of a kind will be
achieved at an early date.
Fight weeks of sullen confron-
tation between two neighbors
Grand Canyon
Field Trip Set
By Astronauts
Houston, Mar. 4 (V) —• The
nation’s 14 newest astronauts
are to leave today for the
Grand Canyon to get same first
liand training in geology
The astronauts have been
undergoing a thro e-weeks
course in geology at the Man-
ned Space Center at Houston.
A geological survey spokes-
man said tlie field trip will em-
phasize the study of volcanic
rock and to train the astro-
nauts what to look for if and
when they land on the moon.
When an astronaut does land
on the moon he is expected to
bring back 80 pounds of the
moon’s surface for study by
I earth scientists.
Both the earth and the moon
] have been pounded by meteors.
1 While at the Grand Canyon,
the astronauts will he taught
to identify meteors.
“We wouldn’t learn much if
they brought back 80 pounds
of meteors from the moon,” a
geologist said. “We want the
astronauts to have an idea what
the rocks on earth look like, so
it can influence their judgment
on what to bring buck from
the moon.”
Service Station
Operators Talk
Slamp Bans
Houston, Mar. 4 Ml—About
500 service station operators
from Southeast Texas met yes»
terday in Houtson to learn how
to ban trading stamps.
Principal speaker was Charles
M. Babb, an Austin lawyer, in
troduced as “the man who got
the trading stamps out of the
liquor stores.”
Also present was a chartered
busload of San Antonio service
station men, many of whom
spoke individually to tell the
Houston audience about their
successful campaign against
the stamps in Bexar County.
J. G. Fitzgerald, executive
secretary of the Texas Associ-
ation of Petroleum Retailers,
presided at the rally which
stemmed from numerous neigh-
borhood station meetings
throughout the city in recent
weeks.
Fitzgerald said “pressure
from all sides” is brougth to
bear on the service station op-
erator to force him to buy and
continue to use trading stamps.
“If Humble Oil Co. can’t af-
ford to give them, how can
we?” he asked.
A ban-the-stamps movement
among service station owners
over the state began after
Humble Oil announced in the
fall it would drop the 40 per
cent subsidy it had been giving
its dealers to buy the stamps.
The speakers told the crowd
Austin service stations hare
virtually eliminated the trading
stamps, as have San Antonio,
Victoria and some West Texas
communities.
G. E. Hancock, president of
the San Antonio Service Sta-
tion Association, told in detail
how San Antonio station op-
erators did away with the
stamps. He said of the 935 sta-
tions in San Antonio, only 27
still give trading stamps. 1 ?.
He told the audience thpt
“every type of pressure” wotikl
be brought to bear on th#f|,
He urged the dealers to s'
firm regardlew: “take the si]
down, throw the stamps
and keep ’em out,” he sai
Police Probe
Child's Death
At Fort Worth
Fort Worth, Mar. 4 lift—The
brutally beaten and burned
body of a two-year-old girl
was brought to a Fort Worth
hospital last night.
She was Paula Janetta Bow-
man.
Police were holding a woman
who confessed to holding the
child's head under scalding hot
water in a bathtub because, in
her words, she wanted to dis-
cipline her.
An autopsy was ordered to
determine if the girl had drown-
ed or died of bodily injuries.
Texas Cigarei
Sales Tumble
Austin, Mar. 4 IV) — Cig-
aret sales took a tumble in
Texas during February appar-
ently as result of the national
report on smoking hazards.
State Treasurer Jesse James
reports that revenue from the
state cigaret tax dropped $1.2
million during the month.
“Looks to me like a lot of
cigaret smokers are cutting
down on quitting. I don’t know
how else to explain it,” James
said.
Cigaret tax stamp sales dur-
ing February were $6,651,-
381 compured to $6,864,599
in the same month last year.
The sales in January of this
year were $7,301,882, James
reported.
Liquor and wine tax collec-
tions also decreased during
Februsry. For this James said
he had no explanation.
Liquor stamp sales fell
$238,485 from the same month
a year ago and wine stamps
dropped $12,058.
James said the deficit in the
state's general revenue fund
at the end of busineas on the
last day of February totaled
$24,139,271.

and friends ia just too long.
It should not have happened,
we are told, and many observ-
ers blame the whole thing on
coming elections in both
countries.
But that may be a simplistic
view. There w a s an incident
which would be considered un-
important under most circum-
stances. That incident sparked
n chain of regrettable events.
There would have been no ex-
plosion if there had been no
powder barrels lying in the
open.
That is an angle which seems
to have been neglected through
the years. It ia not sufficiently
realised that many nations on
this continent and throughout
the world are going through
a difficult transition. Their
people are not satisfied with
things as they are. They are
seeking greater recognition
politically and economically.
There is no doubt at all that
Panamanian Communists were
involved. Neither can there be
any question about the parti-
c i p a t i o n of Castroists. But
these are merely trees that
have screened the forest. . .dis-
couragement, discontent and
frustration.
The question to be asked is
whether our government had
an inkling of tlie situation. If
it did, it should have taken
adequate precautions.
The plain truth is that we
cannot afford to be compla-
cent anywhere. There Is no
private bailiwick for the Unit-
ed States or any other power.
There are only areas of com-
petition. . .and we must be
competitive; wo must have
something to offer.

CIA Apparently
Financed Plane

The US Central Intelligence
Agency apparently put up the
funds for the development of

Existence of the plane — the

only a few members of con-

it has tentatively approved re-
commending establishment of
a new state agency to coordi-

proposal.
The agency would be guid-

Zachry said the two meet-
