Proposes Freeze On Food Prices WASHINGTON UPI — Rep. Leonard Farbstein D-N Y., Wednesday proposed a temporary freeze on food prices. He said they are climbing at a disturbing rate in big cities. Farbstein told the House he made the suggestion in a letter to Agriculture Secretary Orville L. Freeman and that unless he is persuaded otherwise he will introduce next week legislation to impose a 90-day freeze on prices of bread and other food
staples.
The Senate agriculture committee meanwhile passed a resolution requesting an Agriculture Department survey to determine the relationship between higher food costs and farmers’ income. The resolution specified meat, meat products, milk, dairy products, bread, and other pricesupported commodities. Ship Wreckage, Bodies Found FALMOUTH, England UPI— Searchers today found bodies and wreckage from the holiday pleasure cruiser Darlwin that sank Sunday during a gale in reef-strewn “ships’ graveyard” off the southern coast of England. Thirty-one persons, including seven children were aboard. Royal Air Force search planes spotted the debris four miles off the Cornish coast and lifeboats rushed to the scene and recovered four bodies. The wreckage included a small ladder, a yellow life jacket, a small boat and planking which a rescue center spokesman said came from the 45-foot boat. The launch had disappeared during a freak summer gale with 50-mile-an-hour
winds.
In a grim note, a rescue spokesman said that the bodies had surfaced at the time and spot which had been predicted last Sunday. Posses Bill WASHINGTON UPI — The House has passed and sent to the Senate a bill that would let the government accept the title of the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library to be built at Cambridge, Mass. The House acted Wednesday on the measure. The library will be operated by the government after it is completed at an estimated yearly cost of $225,000. The library will be a repository for the late President’s official papers and other historical papers. The Kennedy family has already donated his papers to the government.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. UPI— Tennessee Democrats voted today to decide a tossup gubernatorial campaign between a suspender popping, Kennedystyle liberal and a close friend of President Lyndon Johnson. They also voted in a U.S. Senate primary putting former “boy wonder” Gov. Frank Clement, 46, against Sen. Ross Bass, who beat Clement badly two years ago to fill the unexpired term of the late Sen. Estes Kefauver. The gubernatorial contest matched Nashville attorney John Jay Hooker, Jr., 35, a former assistant to then U.S. Atty. Gen. Robert Kennedy, against former Gov. Buford Ellington, 59, a former director of the U.S. Office of Emergency Planning and a close friend of the President. Republicans also staged their first real primary in 46 years. Kenneth Roberts, of Nashville, identified with the party’s Goldwater segment, opposed moderate Howard Baker, Jr., of Knoxville, for the U.S. Senate nomination to go against the winner of the Clement-Bass
contest.
Officials estimated 1.6 million persons would vote in the primaries which also will decide nominees for congressional seats and the first reapportioned state legislature in more than 50 years. State's Traffic Toll Hits 878 By United Preis International A double-fatality car-truck collision Wednesday night south of Sullivan boosted Indiana’s 1966 traffic toll to at least 878, compared with 815 a year ago. Harry Mize, 21, Sullivan, and Linda Haycraft, R. R. 3, Linton, were killed when their compact car collided with a semi-truck driven by James J. Garrison, 26, Attica, at U.S. 41 and Indiana 54. Police said the compact, driven by Miss Haycraft, attempted to turn left onto U.S. 41 and was struck by the truck. Richard Carlson, 16, Attica, died Tuesday night in a Chicago hospital from injuries received last Thursday in a crash south of Attica on U.S. 41. The crash also claimed one other life.

9 Survive Red Horde SAIGON UPI—U.S. 1st Air Cavalry troopers today reached a blood-soaked clearing in the Central Highlands where a “lost platoon” of 26 Americans made a last stand against swarms of North Vietnamese. They found nine survivors who had “played dead” to live. The last message from the reconnaissance platoon from Alpha Company, 2nd Battalion, 7th Cavalry of the 1st Air Cavalry Division, received two days ago, said: “Casualties heavy . . . for God’s sake, get us out of here . . . can’t talk anymore . . . got to shoot.” Then silence. Later: “They’re coming at us from everywhere ...” The platoon was part of the massive U.S. force sweeping the la Drang Valley region in Opera t i o n Paul Revere. U.S. spokesmen said the reinforcements who reached the clearing today found 46 dead Communist troopers and signs that other bodies had been dragged away. Of the nine surviving Americans, six were wounded. The nine “played possum,” pretending they were dead, and were ignored by the Reds when they overran the camp, a spokesman said. The American military command in Saigon reported today 99 Americans were killed in action during the week ended July 30, raising to 4,539 the number of U.S. combat deaths in the war. Another 534 Americans were wounded. South Vietnamese troops suffered 200 combat fatalities during the same period while other allied forces—from Australia, South Korea and New Zealand —had 12 killed and 21 wounded. U.S. spokesmen placed the Communist toll at 1,153 dead and 89 captured. College Trustee FRANKLIN, UPI — Arch E. West, executive vice president of Frito-Lay, Inc., Dallas, Tex., has been appointed to a threeyear term on the board of trustees of Franklin College, from which he was graduated in 1936.

WASHINGTON UPI—Senate leaders hoped today a compromise plan to order airline strikers back to work could overcome stiffening Senate resistance to congressional intervention. The new proposal, negotiated late Wednesday by Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield after closed-door huddles, was expected to provide that Congress and the President share the responsibility of forcing an end to the four-week strike. Just who would bear the unpleasant burden of ordering strike intervention in an election year prevented Senate accord on a measure introduced earlier in the day by the Senate Labor Committee. It was anticipated the new Mansfield plan would specify that Congress take initial action to send the 35,400 striking In' ternational Association of Machinists (LAM) members back to work for 30 days. During this period contract negotiations would continue with the five struck airlines: United, Trans World, National, Northwest and Eastern. At the end of the 30 days, the President could extend the nostrike period for another 60 days by appointing a special mediation board. On recommendation of that panel, he could then extend it for a final 90 days. All told, the plan would provide six strikefree months during which a contract could be mediated. Tax Applies To College Stores INDIANAJOLIS UPI —The 2 per cent Indiana sales tax will now apply to items sold in college bookstores as the result of a ruling Wednesday by the State Department of Revenue. Previously, the department had exempted from the tax textbooks “and other materials that are an integral part of the educational curriculum” for all school operated book stores. The college bookstores no longer are exempted, but still exempt are “bookstores operated by public and parochial schools for grades 1-12.”
CHICAGO UPI — Leaders of Dr. Martin Luther King’s drive to make Chicago an “open city” today made plans for more neighborhood marches and possibly sit-ins and tent-ins. Nearly 3,000 angry whites met King’s marchers Wednesday. The crowds, including men, >men and children, hurled bottles, bricks and obscenities at the demonstrators and the police who protected them. No one was seriously injured but officers, both white and Negro, arrested 17 men, one woman and two juveniles — one a young girl. Police broke up sidewalk-blocking crowds with nightsticks. It was the second day the racially mixed band of marchers had gone into a northwest side neighborhood known as Bel-mont-Cragin, an all-white community of blue collar workers. The marches — demonstration leaders vow they will continue despite the threat of violence — are aimed at realtors. The demonstrators claim the realtors refuse to show apartments and homes to Negroes in 100 per cent white neighborhoods. “If we can get enough people, we will go into two or three communities at one time,” said the Rev. James Bevel, Chicago field secretary for King’s Southern Christian Leadership Conference. “We will probably go back to Gage Park on the weekend with a mass demonstration,” Rev. Bevel said, indicating "sit-ins and tent-ins” would be a possibility if realtors continue to resist integration efforts. It was in Gage Park Sunday that white persons burned about two dozen cars belonging to demonstrators and attacked the clergy-led marchers with bricks, stones and bottles. King planned a meeting tonight and was expected to announce what the movement’s next steps would be. He said earlier that he probably would lead the next march on Gage Park himself.
Press Role
WASHINGTON UPI — Rep. Paul H. Todd Jr., D-Mich., has suggested the press be used as the official observer in South Viet Nam’s elections Sept. 11. In a House speech, Todd said the South Vietnamese government should give full assistance to a select committee of the international presscorps formed to oversee the electoral process.
