HANNIBAL, Mo. UPI — Mayor Harry Musgrove led ft grieving citizenry back into the work-a-day world today at the depressing conclusion of an eight-day search for three boys presumed lost on a real life Tom Sawyer adventure. “I don’t think anyone realized these boys would not turn up either in or out of the caves,” said Musgrove. “We’ve had boys lost before but they’ve always turned up.” The search for the three school buddies, brothers Joe and William Hoag, aged 13 and 11, and companion Edwin Craig Dowell, 14, came to an end at 5 p.m. Thursday on orders from William Karras, head of the massive search operation that involved more than 150 men at its height. The final effort, a foray atop the Lover's Leap area overlooking the town of 20,000 made famous by its most famous citizen — Samuel Clemens — turned up nothing. “This completed a search of the entire, tremendous maze of underground caverns . . . they were not there,” Karras said. Karras, the president of the Speleological Society of America, said the parents of the missing adventurers realized “everything possible" had been done. The search began Wednesday evening, May 10, just a matter of hours after Billy, Joe and (Continued on Page 4) Rebekah Notice Rebekah Lodge No. 106 will meet Monday, May 22nd at 8:00 p.m. All members are urged to attend.

On Brink Of Holy War
Hong Kong Seethes With Howling Mobs Of Chinese
CARIO UPI — The Mideast marched toward the brink of war today. Arabs threatened Israel with “holy war” and mobilized armies. The Israeli military “took steps.” U.N. peace-keeping forces awaited orders to get out from between massing armies in the dusty Sinai Peninsula.
Three Fined
Hoosier Marine Proud To Die For Country
STOCKHOLM UPI — Three persons were fined Thursday for insulting the U.S. flag during an anti-American march last February. The trio had participated in a demonstration against American Vietnam policy outside the U.S. trade center. The protestors carried a U.S. flag with skull and crossbones and swastika symbols. They were charged with insulting the symbol of a foreign nation.

Police said Crowe had to turn suddenly to avoid hitting an automobile and Dickey was thrown from the motorcycle. It was reported that he suffered possible Internal injuries, head injuries and abrasions. Dickey was taken to the Veterans Hospital in Indianapolis. Marines Strike In Neutral Area SAIGON UPI — In the greatest assault of the war, U.S. Marines invaded the demilitarized zone (DMZ) dividing South from North Vietnam in land, sea and air strikes aimed at wiping out 5,000 Communists using the neutral area for a war base, American spokesmen said today. The Communists fought savagely as about 15,000 Leathernecks and Vietnamese paratroops smashed for the first time into the South Vietnamese half of the six-mile-wide buffer zone. In the first 24 hours following Thursday’s invasion, Marines reported killing 192 Communists. U.S. losses were not reported. But in what was developing into the Vietnam war’s largest battle, the main Marine Aid Station at Dong Ha, seven miles south of the DMZ had received about 250 wounded Leathernecks by early today. Officially, a U.S. communique said the operation aimed “to attack North Vietnamese forces (Continued on Page 4) NOW YOU KNOW By United Pres* International The earliest historical significance of the Middle East is that it probably was the region in which man first discovered agriculture.

But Trench, vowing to “help Hong Kong return to its normal peaceful ways,” remained aloof and showed no sign of bowing to demands originating in Peking, including the release with apologies of more than 400 persons arrested in the past week of wild Communist-led rioting. The Chinese outside his home chanted insults, Communist slogans and quotations by Peking

World powers were reported working virtually round-the-clock behind scenes to keep Israel’s 275,000-man forces and Arab armies twice that size from rolling. But the cry of war was in the air. Egypt’s new commander along the 117-mile frontier with Israel said Thursday night his troops are ready for the “holy war” they had awaited for years. “Now is the time to fulfill their dream,’ Gen Abdul Mohsen Mortage told newsmen. U.A.R. Vice President Abdel Hakin Amer said Egypt rolled tanks and troops to the frontier because of fears Israel would attack its defense partner, Syria. He vowed Egypt’s troops are ready to “hit hard.” At Jerusalem, Israel, where the tourist business still boomed and coffee shops remained crowded an Israeli army spokesman said, “Our forces have taken measures to meet the
situation.”
The 3,400-man, seven-nation U.N. Emergency Force (UNEF) set up after the 1956 fighting was prepared to move out from the frontier and the Demilitarized Gaza Strip. In New York, U.N. Secretary General Thant was expected today to announce the end of the UNEF mission, following Egyptian requests the

No Fox Bounty
Auditor Eston C. Cooper announced today that there will be no more fox bounty paid in Putnam County for the present
time.
Mr. Cooper said the reason was that there is a lack of funds for this purpose.
The departure would leave only a ditch separating Israelis from Egyptians. Much of the war talk and much of the military activity came from Cairo. But other Arab states and Israel also prepared for action. Iraq and Jordan, whose borders with tiny Israel often have been scenes of combat and sabotage raids, mobilized their forces. Kuwait and Syria Joined them. Lebanon pledged all necessary aid to the Arab cause in any fight for the land Arabs still call, longingly, Palestine. There was no lack of arms. Israel is equipped with the latest conventional weapons of the West The U.A.R. relies mainly on Russian arms. So does Syria. Jordan, whose army is regarded as the Arab world’s finest although small, has British and U. S. arms. But the only shots fired in the first three days of the ensis— which began with Arab reports of an imminent Israel invasion of Syria despite Israeli denials— were accidental. Two Israeli jets fired a warning burst of machine gun bullets in front of a U.N. plane carrying the Indian commander of UNEF Thursday. Israel later apologized.

An analysis released by the Itek Corporation disproved one widely circulated theory that the Warren Commission erred in finding that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in the slaying of the President in Dallas
on Nov. 22, 1963.
Itek made the months long study as a public service. Several second gunman theories have been advanced by proponents of a conspiracy in
part on an 8 mm color motion picture shot that day by Orville Nix, one of the spectators in Dealey Plaza. It shows the President being hit by the fatal bullet and Mrs. Kennedy climbing onto the back of the convertible. In the background is a grassy knoll and atop it a wooden picket fence and a white concrete pavilion with a low wall. The knoll is below and to the left of the Texas School Depository Building from which Oswald fired. Enlargement of certain frames of the Nix film brings out what to the naked eye resembles a man with one elbow resting on the roof of a station wagon behind the wall and squinting down a gun barrel at Elm Street where Kennedy

Several persons in Dallas who were eyewitnesses to the assassination have reported seeing smoke or flashes from the knoll area and even more thought they heard shots from that di-
recti cm.
Nix first turned his film over to the FBI and it was used, among other things, to determine for the Warren report the position of the President’s car at the moment the fatal bullet struck his head. The Nix film subsequently became the property of United Press International Newsfilm (UPIN). Last February, the Itek Corporation agreed at the request tit UPIN to make an exhaustive scientific study of the 31 feet of film. Itek is one of the major [floanuCMtaum of bigtoK aosOita-

Itek photographic scientists improved the quality of the film content by utilizing advanced image enhancement methods. Itek photogrammetrists and photo interpreters made precise measurements of a number of significant objects in the photographs to insure proper identification of the objects and to determine the feasibility of the fatal shot being fired from certain points. Several objects on and behind the grassy knoll were unclear in the original films and the Itek scientists were themselves at first struck by the image of a
Itek said the analysis showed that the object which looks like the rear of a station wagon is a vehicle of some sort but it actually is in a parking lot behind the wooden picket fence and 20 feet behind the “shadow gunman.” A rifleman at the vehicle’s location would have had to fire from nine feet above the ground for his trajectory to clear existing vertical obstructions, it said. No person was visible on the roof of the vehicle. Even assuming a gunman was at sufficient height, the timing of the cavalcade was such that he would have had less them onethirtieth of a second to get off the fatal shot, Itek said.
