(UPI) —A civil rights leader, angered by the shooting of one of his workers, said Friday the nation’s most powerful integrationist groups will pool their resources to make LeFlore County ‘‘the testing ground for democracy.” The challenge was made to Gov. Ross Barnett in a telegram from Wiley A. Branton of Atlanta, director of the Voter Education Project, who also alerted Atty. Gen. Robert Kennedy. “The campaign will begin immediately. You must anticipate that this campaign will be met by violence and other harassment” Branton told Kennedy. “We are notifying you in advance so that you can provide at once the necessary federal protection to prevent violence and other forms of intimidation against reg. istration workers and applicants.” Branton said the shooting of Jimmy Travis, 20-year-old Negro voter registration worker here Thursday night, was not the first harassment of such workers. Travis was struck twice by a fusilade fired at a car in which he and two other civil rights workers were riding. One of the other occupants of the car, Bob Moses, Greenville, Miss., field worker for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), said the shots came from a car containing three white men. Neither Moses nor Randolph Blackwell, a companion, was hit by the bullets. A 45-caliber bullet, lodged near Travis’ spine, was removed Friday and turned over to the FBI, which is investigating the incident. Travis, who also suffered a shoulder wound, was reported in satisfactory condition in a Jackson hospital. Branton said “the time has come for us to pick up the gauntlet. “We are accordingly...announcing a concentrated, saturation campaign to register every qualified Negro of LeFlore County,” he said. The “full resources” of a number of cooperating agencies would be concentrated immediately in the county, Branton said. He listed these | agencies as SNCC, the National Association for the Ad, vancemeHV!’Colored People (NAACPI, the Southern Chfistiah Leadership Conference (SCLC), and the Congress of Racial Equal- • ity (CORE).

Youth Admits Stabbing Young Girl To Death MINNEAPOLIS Minn. (UPD— A young parolee signed a confession today in whiph he told how he “joked and laughed” with a pretty 15-year-old baby sitter before stabbing her to death as she begged God for help. Ronald Leroy Steeves, 19, said he killed the girl Mary Louise Bell according to a preconceived plan because she threatened to break up his romance with her sister Patricia 16. He told how he beat her repeatedly on the head with a tire iron and plunged a knife into her 55 times while she pleaded “Dear God please help me.” “She wouldn’t die, she wouldn’t die,” Steeves said. He said he finally felt sorry for her, picked her up to take her to a hospital and she died in bis arms. Police said Steeves signed the confession shortly after 1 a.m. today. Body Found in Snow The dead girl, one of six children, and a student at a Roman Catholic girls' high school was found face down in the snow in a secluded wooded area near Minnehaha Falls, early Hiursday. She had gone to Ash Wednesday services only a few hours earlier. Steeves, a parolee from St. Cloud Reformatory where he was sentenced for auto theft, said he had been dating Patricia Bell since last summer, but he said the girls’ parents had instructed Patricia to stay away from him. He said he and Patricia continued dating and Mary threatened to tell her parents. “I had to kill her,” he confessed. Steeves said in his confession that he went to an apartment where Mary was baby sitting with the two children of a aight club hat check girl and forced her at knifepoint to leave with Irim. ' ; The youth said he drove with Mary to the ski slope parking lot in Minnehaha Park where he said they talked and finally “joked and laughed” while he tried to get up the nerve to kill her. Beer For Courage He said he drank several cans of beer earlier and that helped him muster the courage to slay the girl. Steeves said he told Mary he ought to kill her and he said she promised not to tell her parents about his dating if he let her go Mary suddenly bolted from the car he said, and he chased her with a knife in his band. He said he caught her threw her into the snow and stabbed her. The girl screamed, he said. The youth said he then changed his mind about killing her and went to the car for a blanket. But he said when he got to the car “I knew I had to kill her.” “I knew I was going to Stillwater (state prison) anyway so I thought I might as well finish her off” he said. He said he got a tire iron went back to Mary who lay in the snow and beat her eight or ten times in the face.He then said he stabbed her while she begged for help. “I just wanted to kill her and get out of there” he said. Steeves said he threw away the murder weapons in the park and drove to a hotel where he slept until noon. Police began looking for the .youth Thursday when the slain girl’s father told them Patricia and Steeves had been “having trouble.” Officers arrested Steeves near the high school Patricia attended. - — -
