They smiled as their father spoke with reporters. Andy Fischer, 38, looked rested and sprightly. He disclosed that Sunday night he had suggested that Mrs.

Fischer start to work thinking about names for tlie four girl quintuplets. So far they each have been named Mary for pur- of their baptism Saturday afternoon. "I told her last night to start v.orking on other names cither middle or first names to go with the Mary," Fischer said. He uttered a laughing "yes" when asked, "Do you still love your wife?" Dr. Berbos went immediately into surgery duties after quickly checking the quints five bundles of kicking, squalling, bawling humanity with heads the size of oranges and hands not much larger than a silver dollar.

He said he probably would weight them for the first time today and that he might change their diet to some kind of a milk formula. They have been letting sugar-water by nose tube since Sunday morning. The doctor made it plain, however, that he will take it very- easy with the quints, who were born sw to eight weeks prematurely, until he feels they are safely through the danger area, which extends until Tuesday morning.

The two youngest Fischer children, Evelyn, 4, and Denise, 3, are staying with their maternal grandparents in Hecla. "I don't think '111 charge them anything." Berbos said of the Fischer family. "I always said if there were triplets. I wouldn't charge them anything, but I've never delivered triplets." He added, "I understand the hospital isn't going to charge them anything either." But a hospital spokesman said Fischer had said he would pay charges anyway because he has hospital insurance.

Berbos was asked whether he had any other deliveries since the quintuplets. they've all been scared off," he said. Goldwater to speak at Dodger Stadium LOS ANGELES (UPI) U.S. Sen.

Kennedy expresses outrage and grief over bombing WASHINGTON (UPI) Presi-. dent Kennedy today expressed "a deep sense of outrage and grief over the bombing of a Negro church in Birmingham Sunday. He called on whites and Negroes to put passions and prejudices aside in the interests of domestic justice and tranquillity. After a series of conferences with Atty. Gen.

Martin Luther King would receive a reply from Kennedy to a message King sent Sunday demanding new, fast federal steps to cope with the Birmingham situation. For the time being, the President planned no message to Gov. George C. Wallace of Alabama. The White House left open the idea that Kennedy felt Wallace had encouraged violence by disparaging remarks about law and order.

The White House did not identify Wallace as being connected with the Kennedy statement, but Salinger did nothing to curb speculation that Kennedy had the governor in mind when he said: "It is regrettable that public disparagement of law and order has encouraged violence which has fallen on the innocent." "If these cruel and tragic events can only awaken that city and state if they can only awaken the entire nation to a realization of the folly of racial injustice and hatred and violence, then it is not too late for all concerned to unite in steps toward peaceful progress before more lives are lost," the President said. Kennedy said Negro leaders in Birmingham who were counseling restraint instead of violence were bravely serving their ideals. "The principles of peaceful self- control are least appealing when most needed," he said. The President added: "This nation is committed to a course of dom.estic justice and tranquility, and I call upon every citizen white and Negro. North and South to put passions and prejudices aside and to join in this effort." Kennedy reviewed the federal involvement in the newest Birmingham case, pointing out how Assistant Atty.

Gen. Burke Marshall was again on the scene in Birmingham "to be of assistance to community leaders and law enforcement officials." The Wliite House declined to speculate what further steps might be taken by the government in the situation. Salinger explained that Marshall could recommend additional action any time he felt it was neded. Any such requests would be considered immediately by the attorney general, he said.

King wired the Chief Executive that he would "sincerely plead with my people to remain non-violent in the face of this terrible provocation. However.

I'm convinced that unless some immediate steps are taken by the federal government to restore a sense of confidence in the protection of life, limb and property, my pleas will fall on deaf ears and we shall see, in Birmingham and Alabama the worst racial holocaust this nation has ever seen." The NAACP's telegram to Kennedy urged "complete intervention" of the Justice Department in the case of the bombing of a church Sunday and the deaths of sLx persons at Birmingham. "If we are not to have more than picayune and piecemeal aid against this type of bestiality please tell us now so that we can marshal such resources as we possess and employ such methods as our desperation may dictate in defense of the lives of our people." the NAACP said.

"These were the conditions," he said, "which caused many religious groups and citizens committees to campaign for the discontinuing of a bracero program. "Public Law 73, however, did away with such poor employment practices.
