ed.

One suspected police spy waa beaten up when he tried to photograph demonstrators in Saigon. Otherwise, there were no immediate reports of injuries. It was the fifth straight day, and the worst so far, of rioting against Maj. Gen. Khanh. who promoted himself from premier to President on Aug. 16 and issued a ban on public demonstrations. The ban was ignored. The mobs were led by students. or Buddhists, or both. There was speculation that Communist undercover agents were helping incite the riots.

UPI — President Johnson’s daughter Luci is “dying to come to the Democratic convention” and expects to arrive here Tuesday ar Wednesday — ahead of her family. The First Lady's press secretary, Mrs. Elizabeth Carpenter, said 17-year-old Luci had seen all of her friends working with the “Teen Denis" and is “urging her mother to let her come up to work with them.”

Officials Disturbed WASHINGTON UPI — Administration officials are disturbed by the possible political repercussions of a Central Intelligence Agency CIA document which contains an implication that a compromise with the Communists may eventually be necessary in the South Viet Nam power struggle. Top - level officials are attempting to make it clear that the CIA report-vvhich declares at one point that victory over the Communists is doubtful and that a “neutralization” deal may be called for — does not. represent U. S. policy. Anti-Extremist Plank Planned ATLANTIC CITY. N. J. UPI —Democratic platform drafters skirted a civil rights fight today and fashioned an antiextremist plank assailing by name the Communist party, the Ku Klux Klan and the John Birch Society. Both actions were taken in compliance with wishes of President Johnson. The President wanted a compromise rights plank acceptable to both Northern and Southern delegates to the convention. On extremism he hoped to draw a sharp contest with views of Sen. Barry M. Goldvvater, who told the Republican National Convention that extremism in defense of liberty was not an evil. These and other party positions on domestic affairs were to get final platform committee approval today. The committee Sunday approved foreign policy and security planks, including a pledge to leave to presidential discretion any decistion on unleasing the nuclear bomb. This was another jab at Goldvvater, who thinks the NATO commander needs free access to nuclear weapons in event of attack. The rights plank up for final approval today pledges “fair and effective federal enforcement” of the new civil rights law in event “there is default” in local enforcement. Earlier, in a general statement on democratic “stewardship.” the committee called the law the greatest civil rights measure in history. The plank was reported acceptable to both Northern and Southern members and was expected to head off a minority challenge which could lead to a floor fight when the platform is presented to the full convention Tuesday night.

A 1964 Oldsmobile convertible was struck by unknown driver parked in the Moose Lodge parking lot, corner of Franklin and Market Streets, Saturday night. The car is owned by Kenneth L.

More Phony Money WASHINGTON UPI — The Secret Service says counterfeiting of U.S. currency has increased during the past year and blames nationwide crime trends as well as improved printing methods.

NFO Campaign Getting Results CHICAGO UPI — Leaders of the National Farmers Organization NFO today assessed the effects of their 6-day-old livestock holding action. Reports indicated that meat prices soon would start to soar at local butcher shops. Cattle prices were at their highest levels in 20 months and dressed pork loins hit price peaks not seen in 23 months. Some livestock processors were shut down and others reported their supply of meat was running low. William Yungclas, president of the American Pork Producers Association, charged the NFO with timing its holding action to coincide with a period when livestock prices normally are on the rise. “It seems to be capitalizing on a situation about to prevail anyway,” Yungclas said. ’‘The cattle market was going to ruse anyway for about six weeks or two months. Now an artificial factor has been added which may boost prices even higher.” Three Hoosier Fugitives Caught WATERLOO.

ATLANTIC CITY. N. J. UPI A bitter fight over seating of the Alabama and Mississippi delegations jarred party harmony today at the opening of the Democratic National Convention. With or without the two Southern states — and party leaders still hoped it might be with them the convention was set to nominate Lyndon B. Johnson for president and whoever he picks to run with him in the November elections. The opening gavel was set for 8:30 p.m. EDT in Atlantic City’s mammoth Convention Hall. Party leaders were working feverishly to persuade the Mississippi and Alabama delegates to pledge support of the President in November. Without the pledge, they may lose their seats. Although Johnson probably will not be on the Alabama ballot in November, the committee recommended that the state’s delegation be seated if its members sign the pledge required of Democratic national committee members. That pledge is a commitment to support the presidential and vice presidential nominees of the national convention. The Alabama delegation met immediately and voted. 33 to 3. against signing the pledge. They also voted against returning credentials, apparently issued to them by mistake, to admit them to the hall. Of the 53 Alabama delegates and alternates at the convention. six to eight were expected to pledge personal support to the Democratic nominees and take convention seats. Former Gov. David L. Lawrence of Pennsylvania, chairman of the credentials committee. indicated that a similar loyalty pledge would be required of any delegates seated from Mississippi. Members of the regular delegation predicted that most would reject it.

Racial Violence

A three-hour clash broke out between about 180 Negroes and whites in Blacksburg. S.C., during the weekend and civil rights leaders reported an arsonist set fire to their headquarters in Tupelo. Miss. The Blacksburg racial rioting was the first experienced by the small Piedmont town. Authorities said groups of Negroes and whites roamed the streets hurling rocks and bottles. Several shots were fired, but there were no injuries reported and no arrests were made. Police said the fighting began late Saturday night after three Negro couples ordered hamburgers at a white teen-aged restaurant. A gang of whites followed the couples back to a Negro beer parlor and a shot was fired. Both sides gathered reinforcements and running battles continued until dawn. Several residents reported their houses were showered with missiles. Highway patromen and Cherokee County of-

ficers moved in to help restore order. FBI agents in Mississippi confirmed they were checking a report that a frame building housing an office of the Council of Federated Organizations was set a fire. COFO. the group which is pushing Mississippi's civil rights program, said the building was used by the 20 or 30 leaders who formed the state’s Freedom Democratic Party. The Freedom Democratic Party is a predominantly Negro group which is challenging the regular Mississippi Democrats for seat at the national convention. Crew Escapes In Train Wreck KNOX, Ind. UPI—Thirty-one cars of a westbound Nickel Plate Railroad freight train derailed northwest of here today, scattering tons of shelled corn and steel products over a wide area. The Chicago-bound tram was wrecked near the small town of Brems, about five miles south of U.S. 30. Nobody was hurt.

Cars were stacked as high as three deep along the railroad right-of-way.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. UPI —The 1964 Democratic National Convention opens today in a white mansion located at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., Washington. D.C. It is true that some 5,000 men and women wearing badge* reading “delegate” and “alternate delegate" are gathered here in Atlantic City for some sort of auxiliary convention. But the one remaining decision for the Democrats in this convention year-selection of a vice presidential candidate—is being handled by the one-man convention in Washington. The man won't even be here when the Atlantic City auxiliary assembles in Convention Hall at 8:30 o'clock tonight for what at least will be a fine social event. Mouths will open and close at this social event either because of oratory’ or the mass chewing of salt water taffy. But the main purpose is to assemble people in one big room so they can exchange v i e w s about when “the word” is likely to arrive from the Democratic National Convention in Wash-

ington.

The “word" is hard to come by here, but not because of any lack of technical communications arrangements. What makes it so difficult to get the “word" here in Atlantic City is that all sessions of the Democratic National Contion in Washington are closed to press and public. However, it is definitely known that the convention calls himself to order at 8:30 a.m. each day in an oval office in the big white mansion. Usually the big story at a national convention is who is going to be nominated for president. but the Democratic National Convention in Washington took care of that severe? months ago when it picked Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas. It was the shortest roll call in political history, the decision was made on the first ballot and the vote was unanimous. Local Man To Teach In Alabama John R. Ray of Greencastle received the Ph. D. degree in physics at Ohio University at Athens on Saturday. August 22nd. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. John Ray. 506 South Jackson Street. Young Ray will be assistant professor of physics at Auburn University. Auburn. Alabama. beginning in September. He did his undergraduate work at Rose Polytechnic Institute, class of '61.
