Must decide yourself WASHINGTON (UPI)— President Johnson is leaving it up to Kennedy holdovers in his administration to decide whei ther to stick with him or support the challenge of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy. “I think each man has to decide for himself,” White House Press Secretary George Christian said Tuesday. “It’s a matter of individual decision.” Postmaster General Lawrence O’B r i e n, Interior Secretary Stewart L. Udall, and Undersecretary of State Nicholas Deo. Katzenbach are among the topranking government officials who were closely linked with the late President John F. Kennedy. The possibility of a conflict of loyalties was raised at Tuesday’s White House press briefing and Christian was asked if any of these officials have offered to resign.

Gold price is steady

By JAMES L. SRODES WASHINGTON (UPI) _ The United States hoped today to maintain the purchasing power of the dollar at a stable level at home and abroad although its ties to gold were partially cut. Shifting to the defensive against those who have attacked the dollar, America and her six European financial allies have locked their vaults to further sales of gold to speculators or other private interests and, in effect, switched to a two-price system for gold. By agreement, the price will remain at $35 an ounce in transactions among cooperating governments. But gold will be permitted to seek its own price in the private markets of Europe, Asia, and elsewhere. Speculators bid the price up to more than $44 an ounce last Friday in Paris; it could go still

higher today.

But despite the “unofficial” price of gold, the seven—which include the leading money powers of Europe except for France—pledged to “cooperate fully to maintain the existing

parities” in foreign exchange. That is, they agreed to maintain the value of the dollar in terms of British pounds and other currencies. The new arrangement, which spelled the end of the “gold pool,” was announced Sunday night following two days of emergency meetings here by the monetary authorities of the seven nations. At the same time, Britain agreed to keep the London gold market—largest in the worldclosed until April 1, though banks and stock exchanges in the United Kingdom are to open today. The action of the seven members of the now-defunct gold pool provided the United

States and Britain with what amounted to a breathing spell to set their fiscal houses in order. In the case of Britain, Prime Minister Harold Wilson planned to present a new save-the-pound austerity budget to Parliament Tuesday. A similar move, to cut expenditures and increase taxes, appeared to be already underway in Washington. President Johnson chose the first day of the gold pool meeting here to disclose that he had offered a new proposal for cutting government spending in an attempt to get his longstalled 10 per cent income tax increase through Congress.

NFO burns more grain

By United Press International National Farmers Organization members in Indiana switched from hog killing to grain burning Monday to protest the level of prices they receive at the market place for their products. Meanwhile, the hog killing form of protest which started in Indiana last week spread to Iowa and Illinois. NFO grain burning demonstrations were held at three upstate locations Monday and about 6,000 bushels were destroyed. The grain included soybeans and wheat as well as corn. Restriction WASHINGTON (UPI)— The Supreme Court imposed new restrictions today on prosecution use of pre-trial statements by a defendant, reversing a 1964 federal bank robbery conviction of Robert James Garrett in Chicago. By a 6-2 ruling, the court held that the government had wrongfully used at the trial an admission Garrett had made at an earlier proceeding where he was claiming his rights against unconstitutional search and seizure had been violated. Garrett and Thomas E. Simmons were convicted of robbing the Ben Franklin Savings and Loan Association in the Chicago area on Feb. 27, 1964. While reversing Garrett’s conviction, the court by 8-0 vote let Simmon’s conviction stand. In other actions, the court; — Directed that attorney fees be awarded a group of Negroes who successfully brought suit to desegregate a group of Columbia, S.C., restaurants under the 1964 civil rights act. — Announced it would hold hearings on the Justice Department’s effort to confine scrutiny of illegal federal eavesdropping records to the private inspection of trial judges.

In Elkhart County, about 3,000 bushels of grain from Elkhart, Noble and LaGrange Counties were burned after being soaked with oil or gasoline on the Carol Mohler farm. About 2,000 bushels were burned on the Max Heffley farm in DeKalb County by about 30 farmers who paraded through Auburn streets in trucks. The grain was damp and was mixed with straw to aid combustion. On the Lyle McCormick farm in St. Joseph County near North Liberty, about 1,200 bushels of corn were burned. A group of farmers slaughter, ed and buried about 75 hogs in a pit on the Wilbur Garrells farm northwest of Mount Pleasant, Iowa, Monday. Some of the hogs came from Illinois. Clarence Schucker, Iowa state NFO president, gave a short prayer before the animals were led into the pit and shot, then cut across the neck to make sure they were dead. Last week, NFO groups shot and buried thousands of pounds of hogs at Union City and Sullivan. Ind., and Wyanet, HI.

Film ai Voncastle Mrs. Charles Rector, Jr., Public Information Chairman, of the Putnam County Unit of the American Cancer Society announced today, that there will be films shown at the Voncastle in Greencastle on Monday, March 25, at 7:00 and at the LaDon Theater in Roachdale on Thursday night, March 28 at 7:00.

Second week in hospital NEW YORK (UPI)— Actor Cary Grant, who had a close brush with death in an auto accident last week, faced a second week in the hospital Monday because of the seriousness of his injuries. A spokesman at St. John’s Hospital said the 64-year-old film idol was in good condition but his physicians were unwilling to speculate on how much longer his recuperation would take. It was believed he would be hospitalized at least five more days. Grant, 23-year-old Baroness Gratia von Furstenberg, and chauffeur Troy Lindahl, 33, were injured last Tuesday when a wheel assembly broke loose from a truck on the highway to Kennedy airport and hit their limousine. The car was virtually demolished. The actor suffered a cut lip, damage to nose cartilage, bruises on the face and chest and shock, but his million-dollar face suffered no permanent disfiguration. Grant continued to complain of chest pains and “a few more black and blue

marks” coming out every day. Baroness von Furstenberg remained in the hospital with a leg fracture but the chauffeur was released Sunday. Lindahl suffered a fractured knee cap.

Style swings on

PARIS (UPI) — Shoulder bags really are coming back, particularly for the young. Nearly every one of the handbags on sale in the Miss Dior ready to wear boutique have detachable shoulderstraps. One of the most Interesting ones looks like a navy briefcase with dyed navy linen sides. The purse opens out like a book with lots of compartments. Dior planned it as a beach bag, but it looks smart enough to go to town, particularly because it has two handles exactly like those of a briefcase to hold it when Its owner doesn’t want to use the shoulder strap. Both Yves Saint Laurent and Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel show-

ed them to match their suits for daytime. Saint Laurent adorned one of his with eyelets to match an ensemble trimmed the same way and Chanel used the same tweed to cover the sides of her shoulder bags as she used to make her suits. Other handbags shown in the collection tend to be very small and very neat, just about large enough for a comb, compact and small wallet. The ones shown with the Dior couture collection were tiny squares set with a round circle of metal for a handle. The models looped their hands through the circles and held the square portion, frequently turning them almost upside down as they paraded.

School bus load of children hits mine

JERUSALEM (UPI) — A school bus filled with students on a field trip struck a mine 15 miles north of the Red Sea port of Elath Monday, killing two persons and injuring 28, Israel said today. A bomb rocked an area near Jerusalem late Monday night and a search turned up six unexploded bombs. There were neither casualties nor damage. The government blamed Arab

Will marry a blond OSLO (UPI)—Crown Prince Harald of Norway bypassed Europe’s princesses and will marry the blonde daughter of an Oslo storekeeper, a royal announcement said today. He will be the first heir to a European throne to wed a commoner. A statement read before the national Parliament said the 31-year-old prince was engaged to Sonja Haraldsen, 30. Their romance has been an open secret in Norway since they met in 1959. The announcement said King Olav V gave his approval. The match marked a romance possibly unrivaled in Norway since Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller’s son, Steven, married hi5 m o t h e r's Norwegian maid, Anne-Marie Rasmussen in 1959. The engagement raised . a constitutional question of whether blue-eyed Sonja may reign as Harald’s queen when he succeeds his father. Most constitutional experts agreed, however, that the king’s approval of the marriage cleared the way for her to share the throne. Some political sources sug. gested Harald would give up his throne should the marriage divide the nation. In that case Norway could conceivably become a republic since he has no brothers who could rule in his place. *■

Sunday night. They were hit by gunfire from across the Jordan River in the area of Tirat Zvi. One infiltrator was killed. Eban instructed Israel’s U.N. Ambassador Joseph Tekoah to tell the Security Council Israel was obliged to take all steps necessary to defend its people and territories. The Governor of Puerto Rico gets an annual salary of $25,000.
