Convicts Make Erratic Attempt To Escape
CEF Continues Former Attacks Drive Today Star Is Killed
PITTSBURGH UPI — Three convicts armed with zip-guns and homemade bombs took two guards hostage Sunday night And made an “extremely etujrid'* attempt to shoot their way out of Western State Penitentiary. The attempt failed. It ended *0 minutes after it started when state policemen threw down a barrage of tear-gas and the convicts came out with their hands up. The guards were released unharmed. One of the prisoners sustained a severe hand cut when a homemade bomb exploded as he prepared to throw it toward advancing troopers. More than 1.000 other convicts remained in their cells and made no attempt to join the escape attempt. The three convicts, holed up in a ward of the prison hospital, talked with Warden James Maroney during a truce in the firing and tried to make a deal — their freedom in exchange for the hostages’ safety. “I told them there would be no deal. I told them they were doing an extremely stupid thing. They had no chance of escape at all,” Maroney said. After Maroney left the hospital ward, state policemen moved in. They fired sporadically to keep the convicts pinned down — two of them in a ward bathroom and the third behind a bed. When the troopers advanced down a hallway, the convicts lobbed two homemade bombs at them. The convicts refused several warnings to surrender, but released the bound hostages. Sgt. John F. Walz, 57, and officer Joseph Ferrara.

Reds "Step Up" Offensive Attacks SAIGON UPI — Communist guerrillas broadened their monsoon offensive today by attackmg another district capital. American planes struck back and silenced the assault with a deadly shower of bombs, machinegun fire and cannon shells. Two American military advisers were wounded when the Communists poured a barrage of mortar fire into the district capital of Nghia Hanh near Da
Nang.
Communist casualties in the aerial counter-attack were heavy. Pilots reported many enemy bodies but said there was too much shooting to make an accurate count of the Viet Cong dead. Guerrilla gunners shot down a tranport plane on a mysterious mission near Saigon Sunday night, and a U.S. militaryspokesman reported that two American Air Force men were killed. Witnesses reported that at least 16 bodies were found in the wreckage, but the spokesman declined to confirm any more than the two American
dead.
Vietnamese troops airlifted into action by U.S. helicopter crews killed six high-ranking Viet Cong officials in a highly successful search and destroy operation 40 miles southwest of Saigon. The victims included the Communist chief of Dinh Thuong Province. All told. 39 guerrillas were killed and 28 captured. A total of 64 American planes flew a series of bombing missoins against North Viet Nam Sunday, hitting bridges, highways and ferry barges south of Hanoi, the Communist capital. Other U.S. planes blasted Viet Cong targets in South Viet Nam, including the district capital of Tuo Marong about 300 miles north of Saigon. More than 1.000 guerrillas captured Tuo Marong Friday night with a human wave assault signaled by a bugler—a tactic used by the Communists in the Korean War. Tuo Marong remained in Communist hands today, a spokesman said. Bad weather hampered ground operations in the area.
Program Features Five-Week Course
Leaders Plan Large Scale Demonstration
By United Prest International Civil rights leaders in Chicago planned today to stage their biggest demonstration to date in efforts to oust school Supt. Benjamin Willis whom they charge with being a foe of integration. Sources hoped that they could mass as many as 15,000 to march on city hall for an audience with Mayor Richard J.
Daley.
More demonstrations also were planned today in Jackson, Miss., but on a limited scale. Demonstrations in Jackson are protesting a special session of the legislature which is meeting to work out election reforms that presumably would make it easier for Negroes to vote. The Jackson protest claims that the legislature is illegally constituted because Negroes have been barred from voting in the past. More than 900 have been arrested in Jackson in the legislative demonstrations. There had been no arrests in Chicago in the month-long demonstrations there since June 18 when 85 staged a sit-in at State and Madison Streets, a Loop intersection that is described as the "world’s busiest.” But earlier arrests brought the total to 533 the number of persons taken into custody because of the demonstrations. Sunday night, a pro-Willis group staged a torchlight motorcade through the city. Shots were exchanged with anti-Willis demonstrators but no incidents were reported. Taxi Drivers Go On Strike NEW YORK UPI — Thousands of New York City taxi drivers went on strike today in an effort to obtain union recognition from fleet owners.

The vote was by acclamation.

UPI — National space agency officials hoped today that striking copy machine operators would not keep the 5.700-man construction force off major spacebuilding jobs for a third day.

Queen Announces Daughter s Betrothal
THE HAGUE UPI — Gueen Juliania of the Netherlands today formally announces the engagement of her daughter. Crown Princess Beatrix, to Claus Von Amsberg, a West German diplomat who served in a Nazi Panzer division during
World War II.
The betrothal of the 27-year-old heir to the throne to a German 11 years her senior touched off anger among many Dutch whose memory of Nazi conquest is still hitter. There were strong indications that the Dutch government would withhold its approval of
the marriage until next spring. Parliament must approve tha match in order for Beatrix to retain her right to succeed Juliana as queen. The suave polished Von Amsberg looks like story book Prince Charming for tha tall, blonde, blue-eyed Beatrix. Objections were not directed at either Von Amsberg or Beatrix. But it was clear that tha Dutch people were unhappy at the prospect of having a former German soldier who was a member of Adolph Hitlers* youth movement as their next prince consort.
