Williams named Philippine envoy
Womans view
WASHINGTON (UPI)— President Johnson has nominated for ambassador to the Philippines G. Mennen Williams, a politician-diplomat who set new precedents for informality in six years as assistant secretary of state for African affairs. Williams has a gift for rippling placid waters, and in six terms as Michigan governor and in his later State Depart, ment hitch it got ample play. As governor, he once fought off a knife-wielding convict while touring a state prison. As assistant secretary of state, he once called a square dance for African diplomats in the Thomas Jefferson room of the State Department; toured
Africa in shirt-sleeves; was socked in the jaw in Lusaka, Zambia, by a white man angered by his “Africa for the Africans” views; and put himself on a first-name basis with cabinet ministers throughout Africa. Williams was governor of Michigan from 1948 to 1960, and held the State Department post from 1961 to 1966, when he quit and made an unsuccessful bid for the U.S. Senate. It had long been speculated that Williams would return to ^diplomacy, but until Tuesday night’s announcement by Johnson in Hawaii there was some uncertainty whether the President would give him another assignment.
By GAY PAULEY UPI Women’s Editor NEW YORK (UPI>- Rudy Seno’s sculptures talk to every kid from 5 to 75 who ever pressed nose and hands against the windows of the candy case to shop the goodies, ever cranked a gum machine and waited for its surprises, ever saved out a penny from the parental allotment for Sunday school to buy a couple of
jawbreakers.
The Chicago-bom Seno sculpts candies. But his are only for looking . . . and stirring memories. His tools, rather than the confectioner’s, are the wider’s—the acetylene torch, the hammers and chisels, the non-ferrous metals such as bronze, brass and aluminum. You see, Rudy Seno reproduces in giant metallic form anything in the candy line from

SAN ANTONIO, Tex. (UPI) —Despite what you may have read, heard or seen, all Texans do not wear high-heeled boots, 10 gallon hats and six-shoot-ers. All are not cattle barons or oil millionaires and there are more four-wheeled Mustangs on the range than the four-legged variety. These are some of the surprises in store for visitors to HemisFair ’68 ; the $156 million party San Antonio is throwing to celebrate its 250th birthday. In fact, this birthplace of the Lone Star State is a fastgrowing, sophisticated city with top-notch hotels, restaurants. shops and a swinging night life. And the fair has
booked some of the world’s top entertainers at the city’s new Civic Center during its sixmonth run. Other extras for fairgoers include the Alamo, preserved and restored Spanish missions and other historic sites in and near this beautiful city over which six flags have flown— French, Spanish, Mexican, Republic of Texas. Confederate States of America and the United States. Each has left its mark but the Spanish-Mexican influence still predominates. San Antonio is a bilingual town. Much of its 670.000 population is Mexican-American. and Spanish is heard as frequently as

English. Advertisements, menus, posters, etc. are printed in both English and Spanish. The fair is located in the center of the city within easy walking distance of the elegant St. Anthony Hotel, where we stayed with other travel writers during the visit sponsored by Eastern Airlines. The non-stop flight from New York took about four hours. Famous Alamo The Alamo, where 188 Texans died in the bloody noquarter battle with the 5,000man Mexican Army under Gen. Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna in early 1836, lies only 200 yards from the fair grounds. Inside the weathered bare rock walls is an awe inspiring shrine with flags and other mementoes of the gallant band of freedom fighters. Inscribed on brass plaques on walls are the names of those who fell, including Davy Crockett, Jim Bowie, Col. William Travis and one “John, Negro.” The Alamo is open seven days a week and admission is free. No picture taking is permitted inside but you will want to snap ma, sis or junior outside so bring your cameras. A few blocks away is the thick-walled Spanish Governors’ Palace built in 1722 as residence and fort. The palace has been restored and furnished in old Spanish colonial style. Over the door is the Hapsburg coat of arms dated 1749. Moses Austin is believed to have won permission here in 1820 to establish the first American colony in Texas, then under Mexican rule. It’s only minutes by car to the San Jose Mission, built in 1720 with three-foot limestone walls. The cells inside the compound in which Indiar converts lived, the granary and the mill have been preserved and services still are held in the restored chapel. Interesting also are the ruins of the old monastery. There are three other missions close by.

lollipops to Tootsie rolls. His candies sometimes measure nine feet in height, weigh 300 to 400 pounds, take as long as six months to mold and hammer and weld into desired shapes. “Nobody gets tooth decay from mycandies,” said Seno. “More likely a hernia.” Seno sculptures range in price from $50 to $3,500, but he laughed as he observed, “most of the profits go into ointments.” The dark-haired artist held out muscular arms to show scars from the hot metals and the acetylene torch. Seno, 38, and the father of two boys, brought 35 of his metal candies to New York for a two-week run in the Ffifth Avenue windows of the F A O Schwartz toy and children’s store, noted for its appeal to doting grandparents,, parents, godmothers, aunts and the like. Seno feels that the appeal of his sculptures is just as great for grownups as for children. “They stir the memory of the adult ... the magic and nostalgia of childhood,” he said in an interview. “Kids don’t ask about magic. They take it for granted. But adults often have to recreate it . . . against the daily pressure for survival in the business world.” Seno said he’d done painting and stone sculpting before turning to metal. He got the idea for the candy theme from a newspaper picture showing a policeman handing a lollipop to a lost kid. “That cop,” said Seno, “had a bigger smile on his face than the boy.” Palestine f news

Americans buy London Bridge By WILLIAM SUNDERLAND LONDON (UPI)—First it was the Queen Mary. Then the Queen Elizabeth. Now, mates, the Yanks ’ave bought the bleedin’ London Bridge itself. The City of London said Tuesday the 136-year-old successor to the original “London Bridge is falling down” was sold to a group of unnamed Americans who will move it to an unannounced site in the United States. Britons shook their heads in dismay. “Why don’t the Americans just make us the 51st state and that way they can have the whole lot without having to haul it across the Atlantic,” said one Londoner. In recent years they watched the “brain drain” of top scientists and saw pubs, Beatles, miniskirts and double decker buses shipped off to prosper in America. Britain’s proudest ocean liners, the Queens Mary and Elizabeth, went to U.S. entrepreneurs in Long Beach, Calif., and Philadelphia who will make them into hotels. The announcement Tuesday did not mention a price or give any hint of who the purchasers were. Officials said details would be announced Thursday in London and New York. The 130,000-ton bridge is, in truth, falling down. More precisely it is sinking at the rate of eight inches a year into the muddy bottom of the River Thomas and engineers could not stop it. London’s solution was to sell the span’s 10,000 tons of outer blocks on the condition it be kept intact and not parceled out as souvenirs. Officials said they had 40 serious offers including the successful U.S. bid. The bridge will be replaced in London with a wider structure to handle busy traffic. The bridge stood at the same place for 136 years but records show a span has crossed the Thames at the same site for almost 1,000 years.
Branigin, wife will campaign By HORTENSE MYERS INDIANAPOLIS (UPI>- Governor and Mrs. Branigin will wage “person-to-person” campaigns in about 100 Indiana cities and towns in a bid to block Sens. Robert F. Kennedy and Eugene McCarthy from winning the state’s presidential primary. Democratic state chairman Gordon St. Angelo told a news conference here today that the Branigins will campaign separately for the governor as a favorite son candidate “in a concentrated effort to win this elec-
tion.”
“The Branigins will appear in 85 of the 92 counties and in more than 100 towns and more if time permits,” he said. He said Branigin will begin his “drive to victory” Friday with appearances in Delphi, Lafayette, Greencastle and Terre Haute, and Mrs. Branigin “will begin her intensive efforts throughout Indiana on Thursday with meetings in Shelbyville, Greensburg, Batesville and Lawrenceburg.” Mrs. Branigin’s schedule up to April 27 contained 28 cities and towns. The governor’s schedule listed 14 cities and towns plus Lake County. St. Angelo said this was because Branigin wants to also meet his gubernatorial responsibilities. He criticized Kennedy and McCarthy for their absences from the Senate. “Since March 15 there have been 35 roll calls in the Senate,” the Indiana chairman said. “Senator McCarthy voted on one. Senator Kennedy voted on one.” When out-of-state news media pressed St. Angelo as to whether Branigin was a serious candidate for president, the chairman said “I see the possibility he might be president of the United States.” St. Angelo said that most of the appearances of the Branigins “will be person-to-person rather than lengthy meetings and long speeches.” “You know how Governor Branigin is. If he feels like making a speech, he will make a speech,” St. Angelo said. “If he feels like shaking hands, he will shake hands.” St. Angelo was asked to comment on a statement which the newsman attributed to Gary Mayor Richard Hatcher, that he hoped people who supported him in his election as the state’s first Negro mayor would support Kennedy. “I don’t think it will hurt the governor,” St. Angelo replied. “It is very difficult to transfer one’s own popularity to someone else.” St. Angelo said Branigin has the support of 9 of the 11 district chairmen. He said the lack of support for Branigin from 11th District chairman James Beatty and 6th District chairman William Wolf would not be a serious handicap. He read an endorsement from Fountain County and Luke White, who was defeated for governor by Branigin four years ago, which said “of the three candidates in the Indiana primary, he is the one best qualified to sit in the White House. His election would give the nation a President of all the people— not of some splinter group.” Earlier, the Indiana AFL-CIO voted to remain neutral. St. Angelo said “I don’t consider it a loss” to Branigin.

No modest violet was golf wizard Walter Hagen in the days when he was monarch of every links he surveyed. One duffer remembers a one-hour lesson he took from the master. Hagen showed him the proper way to hold his club, demonstrated the correct stance and swing, then stood back to watch the duffer take a swipe at a ball. Self-con-scious and muscle-bound, the duffer’s shot was even worse than usual. A second try was just as bad. The
ball dribbled no more than ten yards off the practice tee. Hagen grabbed the club from the duffer's hand, commented bluntly, “You do absolutely everything wrong. Let me show you." He thereupon proceeded to drive out every ball in the bucket while his pupil looked on. That ended the lesson. The duffer estimated that his two practice shots cost him exactly
ten dollars apiece.

“If a fellow wants a piece of apple pie,” pondered Kin Hubbard one morning, “why isn’t he man enough to say so, instead of making the waiter go through that whole routine of ‘Pumpkin, mince, custard, peach, cherry, lemon, blackberry, cheese, apricot, rhubarb—or APPLE?”’ C 1968, by Bennett Cerf. Distributed by Kins Features Syndicate. Weekend shows set by Naiad Honorary
A new form of entertainment, a plunge-in, is planned at DePauw University this weekend. Saddleshoes, sneakers, sandals and bedroom slippers will go flying when Naiad, the synchronized swimming honorary, dives into its annual Mother’s Day
show.
Four performances of the aquatic three-ring circus are planned in Bowman Gymnasium on the campus. A 7 p.m. show lifts the lid Thursday evening. Two shows---? p.m. and 8:15 p.m.—are booked Friday.

NEW YORK (UPI)-Good-body & Co. notes that since the recent buying surged stemmed from Vietnam peace hopes, “the market would likely prove vulnerable to any serious setbacks in Vietnam negotiations,” adding that developments in the talks “probably hold the key to the market’s next move.” The analyst says that the Dow Jones industrial average could fall back 20 to 30 points in view of its recent sharp advance but says such a reaction “would probably not be particularly damaging to invest-
ment confidence.”

Court orders new trial INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) - The Indiana Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that the right of an accused to counsel during interrogation extends behind prison walls. The high court ordered a new trial for Thomas Beck, who was sentenced to life imprisonment for a murder committed while he was an inmate in the Indiana State Prison. Beck was convicted Nov. 29, 1965, for the knife death of another inmate. Evidence was that Beck was interrogated by prison officials without being told of his legal rights as a suspect. The Supreme Court ordered the LaPorte Superior Court to hold a new trial for Beck. The high court said that even though the lower court eliminated the first confession obtained from Beck before he was told of his rights, the admission of a later statement and a photograph of an alleged reenactment constituted reversible error. “The improper introduction of the confession obtained in violation of a constitutional right, compels reversal,” the opinion said. Judge Amos Jackson dissented from the majority opinion. Beck was serving a 1-5 year term for escaping from the state farm at Putnamville when the stabbing occurred.
