Scranton Insists He Is Not Candidate WASHINGTON (UPI) — Gov. William Scranton today insisted anew that he is not a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination and said President Johnson deserves credit for his program to rehabilitate the Appalachia region. Scranton told fellow Pennsylvanians at a congressional breakfast that the $228 million Appalachia program could be a boon to parts of his state. He said a sl3 million program in the bill to help mining areas would “mean everything to us." “I don’t care who gets credit for it,” Scranton said. “I hope it’s President Johnson.” Scranton breakfasted with a Pennsylvania congressio n a 1 group on Capitol Hill at the start of a full day of Washington activity, including an intelligence briefing by Johnson administration officials. Johnson offered this to all GOP presidetial possibilities. Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller got a similar briefing last week. ' After the breakfast, Scranton appeared before the House Public Works Committee in support of the Appalachia bill but opposed administration of the program by a “free-wheeling federal agency.” Scranton asked the committee to give the states more control over administration of the program.

The nominating committee was appointed at the last meeting, and nominations will be open at the next meeting, scheduled for Monday, May 25. Several K. of C. members will be attending the convention to be held this weekend at the Severin hotel in Indianapolis. Tear Gas Threat Eases Situation By United Press International National Guardsmen and racial demonstrators squared off again Wednesday night in Cambridge, Md., but a threat by the soldiers to use tear gas dispelled the situation without violence. It was the first demonstration In the racially tense city since last week when guardsmen twice had to fire tear gas to rout demonstrators. Cambridge has been under limited martial law since bloody racial rioting last summer. . Negro leaders had called a moratorium on demonstrations over the weekend to allow tempers to cool. Fifteen demonstrators, shouting integration slogans, picketed the New York Athletic Club Wednesday, claiming it bars Negroes and Jews. Officials of the club refused comment, but members who observed the pickets frdm the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) said there was no discriminatory language in the club’s by-laws. They said the club has ‘‘a few” Jews but no Negroes. At Newark, NJ.,. the state Civil Rights Division' scheduled a public hearing on a dispute over a Madison, N.J., barber shop’s refusal to cut a Negro's hair. Opponents in the dispute failed to reach agreement in a closed door conciliation meeting Wednesday. The issue touched off a mohth of demonstrations at Madison barber shops. Attorneys for white parents” at Jackson, Miss., said they hoped to end their case today in a federal bearing on suits Seeking school desegregation in three Mississippi communities. The parents 'have been permitted to enter the case on behalf of their children whom they contend would be harmed by integration. Wide Temperature Range Over State By United Press International Upstaters shivered and downs talers perspired Wednesday as the weather divided Indiana into arctic and equatorial areas as different as night and day. Thirty-five degrees’ spread in the temperatures separated Chicago and Evansville, where the highs were 52 and 87, respectively. In between were Fort Wayne with 67, South Bend 69, Indianapolis 74, Lafayette 76, Cincinnati 80 and Louisville 85. Nevertheless, even in the south, the highs represented relief from two days of a recordsetting warm spell, and the state developed some weather unity during the night when the mercury dropped to the 40s and 50s to bring a breath of cool air from Lake Michigan to the Ohio River. , , Overnight lows included 41 at Fort Wayne, 43 at South Bend, 46 at Chicago, 47* at Cincinnati, 48 at. Lafayette and Indianapo- , .Jis, 52 at Louisville and 54 at Evansville. Forecasts called for highs ranging from the 70s to 84 today, lows in the 50s tonight, and highs from the mid 80s to near 90 Friday. The warming trend tonight and Friday will continue through Saturday. No rain was .in sight, only fair skies.

Arms To Viet Cong Through Cambodia
By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst Regardless of what the Cam-p txxjian delegate may tell the. United Nations, there is a conviction among American mill-, tary advisers that most of the' “heavy stuff” reaching the Communist Viet Cong ip South Viet Nam is coming through Cambodia. It is mentioned occasionally in Saigon dispatches filed by American correspondents but never on the official level, perhaps out of U.S. regard for the sensibilities of Cambodian Premier Prince Sihanouk whose friendship the United States still would like to retain. The fact that Cambodia now has seen fit to bring charges of aggression against the United States and South Viet Nam may mean that the gloves finally will come off. The “heavy stuff” would be the machineguns, mortars, high explosives and such other equipment as the Reds could adapt to their spreading guerrilla war in the waterlogged delta. Heavy Shipments by Water The American and Vietnamese sources believe that of the land and sea routes used by the Communists to reinforce the Red guerrilla forces in South Viet Nam, the heavy equipment comes almost entirety by water. Manpower reinforce men t s come via the Ho Chi Minh trail along the mountainous spine of eastern Laos. . Water-borne supplies are loaded aboard ship qj- barge, either in Red China or at Haiphong, port for Communist North Viet Nam’s capital of Hanoi. They then are sent by sea to be off-loaded at one of the silt-filled mouths of the Mekong River or at a new port being built by the Cambodians called Sihanoukville. If at Sihanoukville, the supplies then are sent under regular commercial consignment to the Cambodian capital of Phnom Penh where they again are off-loaded for the trip down the Mekong to the guerrillas. The Mekong, originating 2,600 miles to the northwest in the mountains of Tibet forms parts of international boundaries for Burma, Laos and Thailand. Along its route lie Luang Prabans, .the, roygl, capital of Laos, and Vientiane, its administrative capital, as well as Phnom Penh. Source of Supply The Mekong is the life-line of Southeast Asia, all things to all men, • a source of supply Airplane Cement Stains For airplane cement stains, use acetone on all fabrics except acetate rayon or vinyon, which it dissolves, Amyl acetate (banana oil) can be used on linens and cottons to remove these stains.

for the soutn Vietnamese guerrillas, a source of water for the great rice bowl of the delta and an ancient line of defense against invasion. Its many channels make effective police patrol almost impossible, and the reluctance of the Vietnamese to enforce a curfew against night operations of the Communists further complicates the problem. Prince Sihanouk repeatedly has denied that he has permitted the use of Cambodia either as a trans-shipment point or a haven for the Communists. He may be telling the truth but the evidence is against him. And, as of today, Cambodia is one of three privileged sanetuaries to which the Reds can retreat without fear of pursuit. The other two are Laos and the area of North Viet Nam north of the 17th Parallel. That’s what makes the war in Viet Nam even tougher than the war in Korea.
