Police arrested a black man they identified as Marcus Wayne Chenault. 21. of Dayton Ohio He was charged with two counts of murder, one ol assault and one of carrying a concealed weapon. A friend of the King family said the gunman was quoted as saying he killed Mrs. King "because she was a Christian and all Christians are my enemies.” The gunman opened fire as the choir intoned The Lord’s Prayer. Mrs. King, 69, was shot as she played the organ in the church where her son, the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., preached the philosphy of nonviolence. Asst. Police Chief J.L. Mullins said: “Chenault told police he received orders from his god to kill The Rev. Martin Luther King Sr.” King, 74, is pastor of the church, but was not preaching this Sunday. He entered the church just as the shooting started. “Chenault told investigatorv the reason he shot Mrs. King was because she was nearest t<. him," Mullins added. Member., of the congregation said she was about three feet from the gunman.

Mullins quoted Chenault as saying he shot the other two victims “because they were worshipping a false idol.” He said the man told police there were no other persons involved, but added that a complete investigation was under way. Mullins said Chenault had two revolvers, both ol which had been fired. Chenault told police he arrived in Atlanta by bus on Saturday, Mullins said. A Spokesman at Ohio Stale University said Chenault was a first year graduate studem m education at the school. Mrs. King was taken to Grady Hospital alter the shooting. A spokesman, announcing her death, said she had been shot in the area of the mouth. Mrs. King’s husband was given sedation at the hospital and released.

Martha Williams, a member of the church, identified the other shooting ’victims as Edward Boykin, 69, an Ebenezer deacon, who was killed, and Mrs. Jimmy Mitchell, 65. Mrs. Mitchell, who was wounded in the chest, was in satisfactory condition at Grady, a hospital spokesman said. The church is located next to the grave of King Jr., the Nobel Prize-winning black leader who was killed in Memphis,

Judge Praises Pica

To Simplify Language

INDIANAPOLIS (APf-ln-diana Blue Cross-Blue Shield's plan to simplify language in its insurance policies has won applause from the same judge who issued a stinging opinion against the firm last week Last week, the company came under fire in an opinion written by Indiana Chief Justice Norman F. Arterburn, who called on the legislature to mandate the use of plain language in insurance policies. “Very few people read insura n c e policies.” Arterburn wrote. “They are written in a language few people, aside from lawyers, understand. It is time the legislature orders the writing of insurance policies in plain, understandable language." In announcing plans to overhaul policy forms. Blue Cross president James A. Herod said. “For some time now. we have considered making a change of this nature. We are pleased that the state’s highest judicial official, who is quite aware of the legal ramifications, is sympathetic to such a course of action.” Max E. Truby, public relations director for Indiana Blue

Cross-Blue Shield, said Blue C r o s s-Blue Shield officials would meet with Lloyd M. Allen, Indiana insurance commissioner, next week to work out details for simplifying policies. Allen said he favored the company’s plan. “Although the words in insurance policies have been litigated, it is not defensible to continue using the legal terms,” he said. “We ought to work more diligently than we are now to solve the problems." Truby said the firm’s legal experts had quashed an earlier plan to attach a “plain language explanation" to policies. “They explained that such an explanation would cause considerable conflict when cases are tried in courts,” Truby said. “But rewriting the policies without the use of legal terms has problems as well.” “Many of the terms have been defined by court action over the years to mean certain things and this revision could cause untold legal complications." Arterburn. applauding the company’s plan to simplify its policies, said he would like to see other companies follow suit.

Sakharov Hopes Fast Will Draw Attention

MOSCOW (APf — Soviet physicist Andrei Sakharov said Sunday he hopes his two-day-old hunger strike would draw the attention of President Nixon and Communist party leader Leonid 1. Brezhnev to alleged human rights violations in the Soviet Union. Once the Soviet Union’s top nuclear physicist and the scientist considered responsible for developing the Kremlin’s hydrogen bomb, Sakharov said in an interview he has received telephone calls of support from within his country as well as the United States, Britain, Canada. Norway and France. A vase of flowers sent by a well-wisher in Moscow sat on the windowsill of his room. Sakharov, 53, began his fast at midnight Friday in support of an open letter to Brezhnev and Nixon urging them to discuss human rights during their summit meeting. The letter also called for the two to work for the release of 80 Soviet political prisoners. He said he has no indication that Soviet authorities are aware of his fast. When Nixon’s aides were advised of the letter and Sakharov’s strike, they said there would be no comment from the White House. Sakharov said his only nourishment since beginning the hunger strike was mineral water and that the only effects he felt from going without food was “a little headache.” He said he does not know how long he will continue the fast because “I want to see my capabilities and the reaction in support of my appeal. “It is not an ultimatum strike, but it is so people will pay attention. I have hoped my action will call attention to the questions I raised.”

The scientist, long an advocate of civil rights in the Soviet Union, said he felt a “concrete action” was needed to dramatize human rights issues. IU Dismantles Regional Administrations BIOOMINGTON Ind.(AP>Indiana University trustees have decided to dismantle the regional campuses administration in favor of a plan for direct control by the Bloomington campus. Dr. John W Ryan. 1U president, said the reorganization would save at least SI50.000 in administrative costs and would improve communications between the regional campuses and his office. The plan, approved at a meeting Saturday, eliminates the office of chancellor for the university’s campuses at Bloomington and Indianapolis and brings the chancellors of six regional campuses under the direct authority of the university president. Dr. Byrum E. Carter, chancellor of the Bloomington campus, and Dr. Glenn W. Irwin, chancellor of Indiana-Pur-due University, Indianapolis, would become vice presidents under the plan. But the plan sparked the resignation of J. Gus Liebenow, vice president and dean of faculties, who said it would increase overall administrative costs and decrease efficiency of the eight-campus system. “Instead of facilitating communications. the plan makes the presidency more remote," he said.

Tenn., on April 4, 1968. A crowd gathered at the grave after the announcement was made outside the church that Mrs. King and Boykin were dead. Inside, members of the congregation held a memorial service. Church members said there were about 500 persons in the church when the shooting occurred. Church member CTanald Flagg said the gunman was a black man. about 23 or 24. Other church members said they did not recall seeing him before. Police said the gunman apparently was overpowered b\ members of the congregation. Flagg said the man was seated near the front of the church, to the right of the pulpit, and jumped to his feet as the choir began singing. “He jumped up and made a shot. Everyone was silent.” Flagg said. “I thought a fuse had exploded. The man said, Tm going to kill every m f—in here.' He emptied the gun. then he reached in his coat and got another one just like it ‘‘That’s when someone

shouted, ‘Get down ’ I crawled out of the church It was just unbelieveable.” The Rev. Littleton Price, the assistant minister at the church, said the congregation was sitting with heads bowed when the shooting started, about 10 minutes after the service began He said the gunman was about three feet from Mrs. King. “There was a noise,” he said. "I thought he organ had blown up. I looked up and saw Mrs. King holding her head.” The Rev. Mr. Price said the gunman apparently fired first at Mrs King, then at Mrs. Mitchell who was to his right. He said church members subdued the gunman as he tried to escape. The Rev. Mr. Price said the gunman had an Afro hairdo and was about 5 feet 8. He said he had never seen the man before. Congregation member Turner said the man stood, fired one shot and yelled: “I’m taking Ihe situation over.” Mayor Maynard Jackson, who had been active in the civil rights movement, said: ”1 told

the people of Ebenezer to be strong and not to give up — that Daddy King would want it that way.” He referred to the elder King. The grave of King Jr. was

Argentina’s acting president in the absence of her ailing husband Juan, received on Sunday the support of the armed forces, political parties ranging across this country’s fragmented political spectrum and powerful labor leaders. Military chiefs, for 18 years Peron’s most formidable foes, pledged to abide by the constitution. Similar communiques were issued by principal labor and business organizations. Leaders of the ruling Peronist movement and most opposition parties, including the Communists, also expressed their solidarity with Mrs. Per-

But the Peronist movement, which even Peron has found difficult to manage because of its wide-ranging ideological factions, may cause political headaches for her. Peron frequently has said there will be no political successor to his unprecedented popularity and charisma. “I will be inherited by the country as a whole.” he said recently. Peron remained in his residence at suburban Olivos. The government press secretary is-

Rumors had circulated Saturday that Peron, who is 78, had died or was desperately ill. According to official an-
