Long, hot summer brings violence to the streets

By United Press International Police were on the alert in Akron, Ohio, San Francisco and Stockton, Calif., through the night to guard against new outbreaks of violence that erupted in the three cities on preceding nights. In Glasgow, Ky., a short distance from Mammoth Cave National Park, a state trooper stood watch at the home of Gov. Louie B. Nunn while other troopers searched for the man who tossed a bomb onto the governor’s lawn. Dusk-to-dawn curfew was maintained on the industrial city of 290,000 residents, 20 per cent Negro. Shortly after the curfew was put into effect Thursday night, 70 persons were arreted. Many had to be flushed from an AfroAmerican Liberation Society storefront office and a barber shop next door. Police tossed in tear gas bombs to rout about 30 persons from the office and another 30 from the barber shop. Police clubbed anyone disobeying their orders. With relative calm restored, National Guard troops were withdrawn at midnight to a nearby stadium. Several hundred hippies in San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury district gathered in the streets Thursday night, and threw bottles and rocks and set at least two bonfires. Police made their nightly sweep of the streets to secure the district.

Only a haldful of hippies was arrested Thursday night, compared with the 63 arrested the two previous nights in the nation’s 12th largest city. About 50 miles inland, police officials reported quiet at the housing development in southeast Stockton where violence had been reported the two

previous nights. Governor Nunn flew to Washington Thursday from Frankfort, Ky., where he had been when the dynamite bomb was tossed onto the front yard of his Glasgow home. The bomb blasted a small hole in the yard about 20 feet from the house and broke a window.

Try and Stop Me By BENNETT CERF

nnWO OLD RETIRED cronies went fishing together one i- day at Rangeley Lake in Maine. For three hours neither moved a muscle. Then one got a bit restless. “Confound it, Joe,” grumbled the other. “That’s the second time you’ve shifted your feet in the past forty minutes. Did you come out here to fish or dance?”

Woman’s

view By GAY PAULEY UPI Women’s Editor NEW YORK (UPI)—On the wall of the office of the Rev. Morton A. Hill hangs an editorial cartoon that spells out two of society’s most serious

ills.

One portion of the cartoon shows a giant needle being plunged into the arm of a youth. It is labeled “Dope.” The other half shows a similar needle plunged into the skull. It is labeled “Smut.” “One acts on the body, the other on the mind,” is the way Father Hill explains the draw-

ing.

Primary Concern Smut and its “destructive, violent” effect on the young in particular is the primary concern of the Jesuit priest and others who helped to organize and spearhead a volunteer interfaith organization called “Operation Yorkville.” “Operation Yorkville,” incorporated last January and already going national, spells out its objectives: “To counter the effects on the young of material which incites to violence, drug usage, perversion and promiscuity.” Profitable Presses Father Hill estimates that each year from $1 to $2 billion worth of smut rolls off profitable presses. Some 75 to 90 per cent of it finds its way into the curious hands of children.

A lady called the builder of her brand new house in Louisville, I am advised by John Hennessy, and complained that he had done his work so sloppily that the whole shebang vibrated violently every time a train went by a full block down the street. . The builder said, "Ridiculous,” and went to see for himself. "Just wait till a train comes along,’’ the lady told him. "It nearly shakes me out of bed. It will do the same to you.” The builder scoffed, so she challenged, "See what happens if YOU lie on the bed.” He had just stretched himself out when the husband came home, and demanded, “What are you doing in my wife’s bed?” The poor builder quavered, "Believe it or not, I’m waiting for a train!” * * * QUICKIES: A high school drop-out finally landed a job that takes a lot of guts. He puts strings on electric guitars. A resident of Wichita was pinched for kissing a strange woman on the street. Then the judge saw the woman—and fined the resident ten dollars for being drunk.

Washington window I

By STEVEN GERSTEL WASHINGTON (UPI)Political mourning is brutally brief. It lasts only long enough to count the vqtes and seal the election verdict. So it is with Sen. Thomas Kuchel of California, a likable liberal lawmaker who ran into a tidal wave of conservatism on the West Coast and drowned. He was beaten in the Republican primary by Dr. Max Rafferty. There were a lot of Senate Republicans—possibly more of them than Democrats— who lisagreed with Kuchel’s philosophy. But it is unlikely any of them wanted to see the ebullient Californian exiled from the world of politics. Speculation Smarts But as soon as he was beaten, the speculation started. Who would succeed Kuchel as the Republican “whip”—the number two man in the Senate’s GOP hiarchy . All the speculation starts from the promise that Sen. Everett M. Dirksen will handily defeat his Democratic opponent in November and that his position as Senate Republican leader is secure. From time to time, there is

Reds charge U.S. with aggression

By HENRY SHAPIRO MOSCOW (UPI)—The Soviet newspaper Pravda Friday charged the United States with planning aggression in Czechoslovakia and pledged “all necessary help” in maintaining communism in that country. The official party organ also charged that a cache of American - made arms was smuggled into Czechoslovakia by anti-Communists and has been seized. Pravda’s statements indicated the Soviets are hardening their stand against the defiant Czech Comrpunist regime and its program of democratic reform. It indicated the Kremlin is laying the legal and oral justification for possible armed intervention in Czechoslovakia if more orthodox party control is not re-established. In one report, Pravda said the CIA and the Pentagon have worked out detailed plans for “carrying out aggression’ against East European countries , specically C zechoslovakia. The Soviets previously had blamed “imperialism” for part of their troubles in Czechoslovakia. But today’s report was the farthest it had pressed the charge. The hint of intervention came in a separate editorial:

“The Communists and all working people of Czechoslovakia may rest assured that the Communist party of the Soviet Union, the Soviet government and our people are prepared to give them all necessary help in defending socialist gains.” Earlier tough talk from Moscow had been somewhat modified by word from the most authoritative sources here that both the Soviets and the Czechs wanted to avoid at all costs any use of force or a repeat of the bloody Soviet intervention in Hungary in 1956. Pravda’s report on the arms cache, plus the implication that the Czechs might be losing control of the situation, injected a new and ominous element. Of the arms: Pravda said; “Armaments, guns pistols .and other weapons, all of American production, were evidently brought from the Federal Republic of Germany.” The voice of the Kremlin said the guns, found near Karlovy Vary, “fully fit the nature of armaments which can .be useful for the action of small rebelling groups.” It was the first Soviet reference to a possible anticommunist revolt in Czechoslovakia where reform leader Ulexander Dubcek today was trying to rally his party despite Soviet opposition.

talk about challenges to the Dirksen leadership. But pragmatic Republicans in the Senate tend to accept the inevitability of another Dirksen term as leader and now are wondering about a successor to the No. 2 man. Much of the speculation centers on 65.year.old Sen. Roman Hruska of Nebraska, a 14-year-old veteran of the Senate and possibly the closest confidant Dirksen has. Legal Mind Hruska, an affable man, is completely colorless in contrast to Dirksen or almost anyone else. Often called the legal mind behind Dirksen’s leadership, he is, if anything, more conservative and probably less pliable than the current GOP leader. Important to the Republicans, however, is that a DirksenHruska combination would effectively shut out the younger, more moderate and liberal Republicans in the Senate. To counter this, Sen. Hugh Scott of Pennsylvania said recently he “may” seek the Kuchel post. Like Kuchel, Scott is considered a Republican liberal. A former Republican national chairman, Scott was first elected to the Senate in 1958. But neither Hruska nor Scott really represent a consensus of Republican senators. Hruska can carry the old timers and the newly elected conservatives. Scott can get the backing of the Kuchel-type liberals who are much more vocal than numerous. The probable answer is a compromise choice — someone younger and less conservative than Hruska and quieter and less liberal than Scott.

A real birthday surprise

VALPARAISO, Ind. (UPI)—It bothered Pfc. Frank J. Gary, an Army infantryman from Valparaiso, because he was in Dong Tam, South Vietnam, and couldn’t be home to help his wife Joyce celebrate her birthday. So he wrote his hometown newspaper, the Valparaiso Vidette-Messenger, and bought space for an advertisement three columns wide and six and one-half inches long. And on Joyce’s birthday anniversary Wednesday, this message appeared in print: “17 July 1968 Vietnam. To: Mrs. Frank J. Gray. My Darling Joyce, Happy birthday, Honey! Sorry I can’t be home for your birthday, but don’t worry, I promise I’ll never miss another one. All my love, Frank.” To be sure she didn’t overlook the message, the newspaper carried a news story about it on the front page under the headline: “Mrs. Frank Gray, We Have A Surprise For You.”

Fishing report

INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) - The weekly fishing report of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources indicated Thursday that fishing is “suffering from the summer slowdown.” “Water temperatures are up but fishing pressure is down,” the general summary said. “Best fishing times are early morning, late evening and at night.”

IU Board to meet on August, 11

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (UPI)— Another meeting of the advisory committee aiding in the selection of a new president for Indiana University has been set for Aug. 1 to see if its invitation for suggestions will have results. Composed mainly of I.U. faculty members, the advisory body issued an invitation to faculty, students, alumni and staff members to offer suggestions for a possible successor to Dr. Elvis J. Stahr, who resigned earlier this month.

Stahr gave “presidential fatigue” as his reason for leaving the post he has held nearly six years. Chancellor Herman B

his old duties Sept. 1, the day Stahr’s resignation is effective. The chairman of the advisory committee, Zoology Prof. W. R. Breneman, said all communications to his group would be confidential. The advisory committee and a special screening committee made up of Indiana University board members was named last Saturday to recommend three or four possible successors to

Stahr.

The I.U. trustees hope to find the right man before the end of the year, according to board chairman Frank McKinney. McKinney said reports that the

Yanks kill 34 Viet Cong SAIGON (UPI) — Patrolling American tanks and armored personnel carriers chased down a North Vietnam army unit near the Cambodian border Thursday and killed 34 guerrillas in all-day fighting, the U.S. command said Friday The U.S. 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment troops spot, ted the North Vietnamese regulars twice in the rolling rubber plantation country 72 miles north of Saigon and finally caught up with them and opened fire, the announcement said.

Hollywood news

By VERNON SCOTT UPI Hollywood Correspondent

HOLLYWOOD (UPI)—Oscar winner Ernest Borgnine hopes to revive a long forgotten motion picture staple, the male

dramatic team.

Perhaps the best male team of two-fisted he-men was the combination of Clark Gable and Spencer Tracy. Every film in which they co-starred was a

jackpot.

Speaker

INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — Lt. Governor Robert Rock will be a featured speaker at a confer, ence of the Coalition for an Open Convention Friday night. Rock, the Democratic gubernatorial nominee, was among numerous party leaders invited to participate in the two-day conference here aimed at helping make the Democratic national convention “attentive to the will of the majority of the party’s voters,” according to spokesmen. Conference co-chairmen are the Rev. William Dennis, vice chairman of the Indianapolis affiliate of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, and Dr. Richard Young of Blooming, ton, former faculty advisor for Students for Kennedy on the Indiana University campus.

Such combinations often spelled big money at the boxoffice. Theater goes were as anxious to see a couple of guys square off in a beef as they were to see men and women kiss and hug. Reviving the old doublebarreled marquee teams came to Borgnine in the last couple of months while he and William Holden were co-starring in “The Wild Bunch” down in Mexico. Have Rapport “Bill and I had a great rapport from the beginning,” Borgnine explained. “And we’d like to get together on a couple of more properties. “An actor can tell when he and another performer play well against one another, bouncing off different personalities.” In the early days it was John Gilbert and Carl Dane who attempted to out-profile one another. But the gimmick was refined in the 30s and 40s. More than one movie pitted two of Hollywood’s most famous Irishmen against one another— Jimmy Cagney and Pat O’Brien. Not infrequently Jimmy was the tough bantom cock thug with Pat as a sad-eyed man of the cloth. Scary Duo For intrigue and suspense no team on earth could top the capers of the late Peter Lorre and Sidney Greenstreet. The ominous fat man and the sneaky little guy with the hissing voice scared hell out of millions.

“San Francisco,” and “Boom Town” were tremendous hits. “But the chemistry has to be right,” said Borgnine. “The character, personality and appearance of the actors must clash to help provide the drama.”

The groups switch tonight with new winners to be named in swim suit and talent competition. Miss Indiana will be crowned Saturday night and advance to the Miss America Pageant in Atlantic City, N.J. Elizabeth in hospital LONDON (UPI)—Actress Elizabeth Taylor underwent surgery Wednesday night for an undisclosed ailment and was “fairly comfortable” today, officials at the Fitzroy Nuffield Nursing Home said today. They said her doctors, including a consultant gynecologist, have not yet decided whether to perform a second operation, and her release from the hospital would depend on their decision. “We never reveal the nature of operations here,” the matron said, refusing to disclose the nature or Miss Taylor’s surgery. She said the Fitzroy Nuffield home specialized in “acute medical and surgical cases.” The matron said, however, the operation had been planned a few weeks in advance. “I don’t think very many people know she’s here,” the matron said. “We wanted to keep it secret.”

Cadou’s column

By EUGENE J. CADOU INDIANAPOLIS (UPI)-Don’t look now, but both Republican and Democratic parties of Indiana are worried about the independent presidential candidacy of former Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace. The white backlash vote against numerous concessions to Negroes and street violence are causes. Wallace, with an under-cover bid for anti-Negro sentiment, won 30 per cent of the Democratic votes in the 1964 Indiana presidential primary against former Gov. Matthew E. Welsh, the winner as a stand-in for President \Johnson. Ominous'ly for the Democrats, Wallace carried the party stronghold of Lake County and nearby Porter County. Now Wallace has announced he will speak at a rally in Serbian Hall in Hammond on Aug. 16. Other Indiana speeches are probable. Wallace may fare even better in Lake County this year be-

By DICK WEST WASHINGTON (UPI)—One of the major problems facing a young man Friday is deciding what type of beard to grow. This is not a decision that lends itself to snap judgments. It is fairly easy to decide to grow a beard. The hard part is choosing the size, location and configuration. That should always be preceded by long and careful deliberation. We all know of cases where impulsive youths decided to grow beards before they decided what kinds of beards they wanted to grow. They are the ones who have given beards a bad name. Any youth who undertakes to grow a beard without having an ultimate objective firmly fixed in mind is behaving irresponsibly, to say the least. I didn’t realize just how heavily this burden weighs on the young men of today until a nephew, a lad of 15 going on 16, came for a visit recently. He seemed moody and withdrawn, leading me to believe he h^d a touch of homesickness. But when I sounded him out, I discovered he was preoccupied with the beard problem. “I can’t decide between a little tuft of hair under the lip and the type that traverses the lower part of the chin and branches upward to commingle with the moustache,” he said. I said, “Well, why don’t you go up cm the mountaintop and

meditate about it?” “Please,” he said. “You mustn’t joke about something like this. My whole future may depend on whether I pick the right beard.” “Oh, come now,” I said. “You haven’t even finished high school yet. It will be at least a couple of years before you need to start thinking about selecting a beard.”. “I want to make up my mind now so I won’t have the decision hanging over me,” he said.

“If I grow a conventional beard, people will say I’m an oddball. “I’m trying to think of something that will show originality without being too far out.” ‘What you need is a beard counsellor,” I said. “That is too big a decision for a kid your age to make on his own. By the way, have you decided what college you want to attend.” “Heck, no,” he said. “I haven’t had time to think about that.”

cause of the opposition to Richard G. Hatcher, who is one of the few Democratic big-city Negro mayors in the nation. Three Indiana Republican leaders Thursday pinned a Democratic label on Wallace. They were Rep. William D. Ruckelshaus, Indianapolis, nominee for U.S. Senator; Secretary of State Edgar D. Whitcomb, the gubernatorial nominee, and State Chairman Buena Chaney. “The Indiana Republican Party emphatically disavows any connection with the forthcoming appearance of Wallace,” Chaney said. “Wallace is a Democrat. A vote for him is a Democrat vote.” Chaney said Wallace’s candidacy will cost Sen. Birch Bayh, D-Ind., many votes in Lake and Porter Counties as he seeks reelection. Both Chaney and Ruckelshaus charged that Wallace is a racist. “Wallace is the man who, as the Democrat governor of Alabama, stood in the schoolhouse doorway and defied the law of the land on school desegregation,” Chaney said. “And in his inaugural address as the Democrat governor of Alabama, he told the people that he believed in ‘segregation today, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever’.” Whitcomb said Thursday he expected to cross swords with his Democratic rival, Lt. Gov. Robert L. Rock, who has challenged him to a debate, and that all indications are that they will face a numter of television audiences in discussions of campaign issues. Ruckelshaus said Bayh has not accepted his debate challenge, although four television stations have agreed to carry the event.
