More Violence In New York Subway ® NEW YORK (UPD—A subway rider trying to read his newspaper and ignore a Negro man lyihg on the car floor was stabbed early today when the . man lurched to his feet and , slashed out wildly with a knife. The knifing was the fifth incident of subway violence this week and occurred as 200 Transit Authority (TA) police went on emergency overtime patrol duty on trains and station platforms. The victim, Howard Feist, 64, -a white taxicab driver, was reported in serious condition at Coney Island Hospital. His assailant, identified by police as Howard Newman, 43, an unemployed laborer, was arrested by TA police who chased him through the train to the rear car and overpowered him. “I don’t know why I did it,” police quoted Newman as saying. “I just felt like it.” Police said Newman had been drinking but was not drunk. Twenty-two stitches were required to close Feist’s wounds. Feist had to step around the man lying on the floor, police said, and as he took his seat and began reading his newspaper, the man started cursing him. Fearing trouble, the few other passengers in the car moveMto other parts of the train., As the curses continued Feist finally asked the man to “leave me alone and mind your own business.’* The man staggered to his feet, pulled a knife from his p<?cket and slashed out at i Feist, police reported.

Negro Leader - Reports Death Threat Made Integration leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., said at SSt. Augustine; Fla., Thursday night that he had been threatened with death if he returned to that city. King, a preacher whose gospel on equal rights has pushedhim to the forefront among Negro leaders in the South, said he came back anyway to lead an integration drive that has “reached the point of no return.” “Before I’ll be a slave. I’ll be ‘ buried in my grave,” King told a rally of 300 at St. Paul AME Church. King said he was told of a plot to assassinate him while traveling in California. He said he didn’t bother to get the details and was taking no special precautions. Last week, the beachfront home King had rented in a white neighborhood in St. Augustine was riddled with* bullets. King has made frequent trips Blame Arsonist In Costly Church Fire HAMMOND, Ind. (UPI) — A $500,000 fire blamed by the fire chief on an arsonist destroyed two of the three sections of the First Baptist Church in downtown Hammond early today. Fire Chief Edward Stolnik said there was no other reasonable explanation except arson because the flames broke out in two sections of the church separated by a third section which was left intact by the blaze except for water damage. A new sanctuary, the chief worship center of the church, was saved. It was built only recently and dedicated April 5. Destroyed were the old sanctuary and youth center. Firemen were called about 1 a.m. when bartender Jim Febech noticed smoke pouring out of both sides of the stricture. About 100 firemen were called to duty, and others from neighboring East Chicago also were summoned to help extinguish the blaze. , Firemen remained at the scene long after dawn. Their efforts were credited with saving the new sanctuary and nearby buildings. The Rev. Jack Hylen, pastor of the church, said services would be held Sunday as usual in the undamaged sanctuary. Firemen blocked traffic in a portion of the downtown area to prevent injury from falling bricks from the walls of the old church.
