THE EMPORIA GAZETTE 74th Year: No. 213 Monday, the Sixth Day of April, MCMLXIV Twelve Pages Democrats: Jack Glave Terms Rep. Dole Radical Party Chairman Makes Charge at District Conclave SALINA, Kan. (AP) Demo- crats of the 1st District were told Saturday that the district's Republican congressman, Rep. Bob Dole, is "a wild-eyed radical of the' right wing." Jack Glaves, state Democratic chairman, speaking at the district convention, "If he is not a member of the John Birch Society, it isn't because he disagrees with the society's concepts." Atlhough there was speculalion at the convention that a former congressman, Floyd Breeding of Rolla, might become a candidate, the Democrats still have no one to oppose Dole in this year's election.

Glaves announced that the party does have a candidate for secretary of state-Roland Preboth, Wichita real estate man. No one filed for the post in the 1962 election, and the Democrats had to resort to a write-in campaign to insure that the party would remain on the bal, lot. Six delegates and four alternates were elected to the national Democratic convention in Atlantic City in August. The delegates are Leon Roulfer, Colby; Oliver Brown, Liberal: Norbert Dreiling, Hays; William A. Davis, Goodland; Jack Janssen, Lyons, and Lawrence Brennan, Docke City.

Alternates are Ed Haws Larned; Zenny Leonida, Hutchinson; William Novotney, Pratt, and Mrs. Wayne Goddard, Concordia. Glaves, who wants to resign as state chairman, didn't get anywhere with his plan to have a new chairman chosen immediately, The party traditionally waits until after the primary to name a chairman picked by the nominee for governor. Glaves says that is too late for a chairman to be effective. K.P.L.

After lying in state he will, be buried in Norfolk, the home of his mother.

Fades Away MacArthur Will Lie in State As Nation Pays Its Tribute NEW YORK (AP) Flags flew at half staff today as the body of General of the Army MacArthur reposed in a funeral chapel attired in a simple khaki tropical uniform without any of the medals and ribbons earned in his military lifetime. At the general's coffin was an honor guard of all the military services. Twenty policemen stood duty outside while many men and women, on their way to work, paused briefly in front of the funeral home where they knew the body of the Old Soldier It was part of the nation's homage to the 84-year-old warrior who died Sunday at 2:39 p.m. at Walter Reed Army Hospital in Washington, D.C., after a gallant struggle to survive three operations. At the chapel today, only the family and close associates could view the body.

The casket, the upper portion open half-way, rested on a blackdraped catafalque. Tuesday, at the 7th Regiment Armory on Park Avenue, the casket will remain open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. so the public can pay their last respects to the man who helped make history at St. Mihiel, Bataan, Corregidor, New Guinea, Manila, Tokyo and Inchon.

"'Rarin' to Go" Vaughn is Nominated to Panama Post WASHINGTON (AP)-President Johnson's nomination of Jack Hood Vaughn as ambassador to Panama is expected to reach the Senato by midweek, and the onetime boxer is "rarin' to go." Johnson told a news conforence Saturday that Vaughn, now director of the Peace Corps' Latin-American operation, will be on his way to Panama just as soon as he can be confirmed by the Senate." No difficully is anticipated, and Vaughn, who has been holding his breath for three months, then will head for his "second home." Vaughn, 43, who boxed both as an amateur and as a professional, was ticketed for the Panama nssignment last January when it appeared the United States and Panama might be able to maintain diplomatic tics Politics: Next Week's Conventions In Spotlight Democrats, GOP Race for National Committee Posts By Dayton Blair By the Associated Press Kansas Republicans and Democrats turned to their state conventions today with selection of top party officials and picking of delegates for the national conventions holding major interest. Both parties held their final district conventions Saturday.

The Democratic State Convention will be Saturday at Hutchinson and the Republican convention will be a week later, April 18, at Topeka. Republicans will pick 10 atlarge delegates to the national convention at their Topeka meeting. Five have been recommended by district conventions. Selection of delegates has turned a contest between those seeking support for Sen. Barry Goldwater of Arizona for the GOP presidential nomination and others who want the delegation kept uninstructed.

Gov. John Anderson is a leader of the group seeking an uninstructed delegation. Democrats have no fight for the presidential nomination this year since President Johnson is expected to lead the ticket without any question. Both parties have contests, however, for national committee posts. Both national committeeman races are open in the Republican Party.

Harry Darby resigned as committeeman in January and Mrs. C. Y. Semple said recently she will not seek another term as committeewoman. In the Democratic Party Mrs.

Georgia Neese Gray announced she will not seek reelection as committeewoman. Frank Theis, committeeman, is opposed for reelection. Democrats also will have to pick a new state chairman, perhaps at the state convention. Jack Glaves, Wichita, wants to resign and has suggested a new chairman be picked quickly to start the campaign. Normally parties pick their chairmen after the primary election in August.

Republicans, in a 2nd District convention, picked three national convention delegates Saturday who were uninstructed in the presidential question. The three indicated leanings, however, toward Goldwater at this time. The three were favorable to Harry Crane, Topeka, for national committeeman. The delegates are Henry Bubb Topeka; state Rep. Fred Meek, Idana; and Floyd Hutchinson, Wamego.

Bubb and Meek are district delegates and Hutchinson was recommended to the state convention as one of the at-large delegates.

Lang Emporia water superintendent, reported stages Cottonwood river at the Soden's bridge and that for the Neosho River at the Waterworks bridge were seven feet above normal at 8:30 a. m. today. The Cottonwood still was rising slowly, but the stage of the Neosho had dropped feet from the crest of above normal earlier today, Water Superintendent Lang, who toured the Neosho watershed Sunday, reported the river in the Dunlap area was about onehalf bankful, mostly resulting from good runoff from Four-Mile and Elm Creeks below Council Grove. At Lake Kahola, Emporia's upstream reservoir, the weekend rainfall of 2.59 inches boosted the precipitation there to past the five-inch mark during the past 10 days.

Commuter Grover J. Piper, former Emporia mayor, reported a good run-off into Lake Kahola was continuing today from Kahola and Indian Creeks.

Ross R. Barnett of Mississippi are not entitled to a jury trial on criminal contempt charges. Both were charged with contempt of court for their actions in 1962 when James H. Meredith, Negro, sought to enroll at the University of Mississippi. Barnett was governor at that time and Johnson was lieutenant governor.

Johnson won the election to succeed Barnett and was inaugurated as governor on Jan. 21. Justice Tom C. Clark delivered the 5-4 decision. Justice Arthur J.

Goldberg wrote a dissenting opinion, in which Chief Justice Earl Warren and Justice William O. Douglas joined. Another dissenting opinion was written by Justice Hugo L. Black, and Douglas joined in it. York harbor from Ft.

Jay on Governor's Island, facing the southern tip of Manhattan. On Wednesday, the body will be returned by train to Washington. From 3:30 that afternoon until noon Thursday it will lie in state in the Capitol rotunda, the martyred President John F. where so recently, the body of Kennedy also reposed. Then, by military plane it will be flown to the naval city of Norfolk, for funeral services in St.

Paul's Episcopal church and burial in the MacArthur Memorial nearby. All along the funeral journey there will be the military pageantry reserved for the nation's great. The. general had expressed wish to be buried in Norfolk, because there his mother, the former Mary Pinckney Hardy, was born, reared and married. The city has fashioned, out of a 114-year-old 3 memorial to MacArthur, a museum for his memorabilia, and a mausoleum for his remains.

There are the famous crunched campaign nat, with its scrambled eggs insignia, and cne of the corncob pipes that were his trademark. There, too, above the tomb That will receive him, is this inscription: "In twenty campaigns, on a hundred battlefields, around a thousand campfires, in long years of peace as well as wara soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty." The contempt charges fol lowed an order by the U. S. Circuit Court in New Orleans, that Mississippi state officials not interfere with Meredith's admission. Barnett and Johnson were accused of ignoring the order.

Federal marshals and troops were used to get Meredith into the university in September 1962. He has since been gradu: ated. The governor and lieutenant governor demanded a jury trial of the charges, but the Circuit Court deadlocked 4-4 on that question. The ninth Circuit Court judge was ill and did not vote. Thus stymied, the Circuit Court asked the Supreme Court to decide the issue.

Clark's majority opinion said the court was passing only on the jury issue and decided that the two were not entitled to jury as a matter of right. Clark said the court ruled on the jury question "without prejudice to any other contentions that have been interposed in the case and without any indication as to their Clark's opinion traced the law on contempt back to colonial days. Black said in his dissenting opinion that he could not agree with the majority. "In the first place, Congress has neyer expressly given the federal courts of appeals jurisdiction to try and punish people for criminal contempt of court, and I am unwilling to hold that such power exists in these courts in the absence of a clear and unequivocal congressional grant," Black wrote, He said it is the business of district courts to try' cases. Two Emporians Take Top Awards at the Science Fair although bloody rioting had broken out in the Canal Zone.

But the two countries broke relations, and they were not resumed until Saturday. The post of ambassador has been vacant since President John F. Kennedy accepted the resignation of Joseph S. Farland in August. Farland reportedly disagreed wilh the late President's policies.

Just before his death, Kennedy had announced he intended 1o nominate Frank Coffin, a foreign aid official, as ambassador, but President Johnson did not follow through. Johnson stressed at his news conference that the United States is much concerned with' the "serious problems" of the hemisphere. Ic said Washington is doing everything it con to deal with the "ancient ane- mies of mankind--disease and His attitude was one of obvious satisfaction. "This has been a good week for this hemisphere," me declared. The President referred specifically to Panama and Brazil.

In the first instance, he said, "we are encouraged by the developments." In the second, the overthrow of leftist President Joao Goulart of Brazil, Johnson said "we are glad that the transition in Brazil has been constitutional."
