THE LEAVEN WORTH TIMES (MA FM. IvZ Jail Many Ministers, Race Walk BALTIMORE, Md. (AP) The rtev. Dr. Eugene Carson Blake, chief executive officer of the United Presbyterian Church, and other Protestant, Catholic and Jewish clergymen were arrested when they attempted to integrate an amusement park near Baltimore in a massive Independence Day demonstration.

At least 36 clergymen were among the 275 whites and Negroes arrested. The police docket in suburban Woodlawn, where the Gwynn Oak amusement park is located, read like a religious who's who. Of those arrested, 175 remained in custody awaiting hearings. All were charged under Maryland's trespass law which permits the owner of a business to refuse entrance to any person he wishes. Sixty-nine demonstrators who had to be carried from the park also were charged with disorderly conduct.

To the hundreds of patrons who had flocked to the 68-acre park for a July 4th picnic complete with roller-coaster ridas, ferris wheel and carnival barkers, the demonstration was just added excitement. Most ignored the integrated protestors, but a few stopped to jeer as police walked and carried them to commandeered school buses and patrol wagons. "Take 'em all. Lock 'em up and throw away the key. It looks like a revival meeting," were among the catcalls.

A few cherry bombs (Please Turn tc Page Two) Catcalls Chase Chicago Mayor From Platform CHICAGO (AP) An angered Mayor Richard J. Daley and a Negro church leader were jeered from the speaker's platform at a Fourth of July rally which gathered an estimated 20,000 persons on Chicago's downtown lakefront. Daley, boss of me Democratic party in Illinois, led a "Freedom March" through the downtown area sponsored by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The march and rally were arranged in connection with the NAACP's national convention. The convention sessions, suspended for Independence Day, resume today.

More than 100 whites and Negroes waved anti-Daley placards as they rushed down the aisles to the platform. The placards reflected claims of segregation in Chicago schools and ghetto condi- tions in Negro sections of the city. "Tokenism must go," they shouted each time the mayor attempted to speak. "Down with ghetto! Daley must go!" The din raised by the demonstrators, a number of them bearded, forced Daley to stop after he tlAVJMWOKTM, KANiAt, WIDAY, JULY 5, If PAOIS, POUR O'CLOCK HOMIIDITION-PRICI 5c Fashion Magazine Says JFK Must Wear a Hat LONDON British fashion magazine today stepped up its campaign to persuade President Kennedy to wear a hat and, pointedly asked him how a hat less man can properly greet a lady. "How does the President acknowledge such an encounter?" asked Tailor and Cutter in an editorial, which the editor said he was sending to the White House.

Tailor and Cutter is recognized here as an arbiter of good taste in men's clothing and, in some cases, men's manners. Speculating on how Kennedy greets ladies, the magazine suggested he might do it with: A brief and courteous bow. A hearty handshake. A back slap on the back. "Or," added the magazine, "that peculiarly American greeting the flat palm of the hand sliding upwards and outwards across the greeter's face and the cheerful injunction, 'Hi'." The magazine said none of these would do especially if the President greeted someone such as Queen Elizabeth II and suggested "The deft touch of a raised hat, politely pinched between thumb and forefinger and held for a hesitant moment over the wearer's heart, would bring a bright spark of gallantry to those modern diplomatic moves which seem to have lost so much of their old world glamor in the current 1'ush for time-saving practicalities."

French-German Failure On Euromarket Policy BONN, Germany (AP) President Charles de Gaulle and Chancellor Konrad Adenauer failed to agree today on what kind of relations the Common Market should have with Britain, West German officials reported. The officials, emerging from a three-hour conference of top West German and French leaders, reported that the meeting resulted only in a delay of the problem. They added that no effective agreement could be reached, either, on farm prices another difficulty that has been holding up progress in the Common Market.

De Gaulle was scheduled to leave late this afternoon for Paris. Aednauer was smiling as he saw De Gaulle to his car, but other ministers looked discouraged. High hopes had been.set on this meeting. Werner Schwarz, West German agriculture minister, said new studies would have to be made on measures proposed to solve farm problems. "Anything further has to be done in Brussels," he added.

Foreign ministers and agriculture ministers of six Common Market countries are due to meet there next week. De Gaulle and Adenauer met on this second day of the French president's visit to discuss" the kind of relations the West European market should have with Britain, blocked by a French veto from entering the Common Market. The U.S. government was keenly interested in the discussion. It wants Britain admitted to the six- nation Common Market to keep it in close Atlantic partnership wih the United States.

De Gaulle prefers to keep the Common Market a closed corporation, dominated by France. He envisions a third power equal to both the United States and the Soviet Union.

Willard Wirtz called on both sides today to make a last- ditch effort to settle the railroad; work rules dispute by collective bargaining. He asked for an answer by Sunday. If no agreement is reached to continue talks, the railroads already have said they will put controversial New York rules into effect after midnight Wednesday. Union officials have warned this would bring an immediate strike. Wirtz, in conference after a 30-minute meeting with the negotiators for the railroads and five operating unions, indicated that, if his proposal was reject-, ed, the administration would seek legislation immediately.

Wirtz proposed a temporary solution for two key issues in the dispute, the question of removal of some 40,000 firemen from freight and yard trains, and the make-up of the crews of all trains aside from those riding in the car. In both issues, he proposed acceptance of the recommendations of a presidential emergency board in May as a basis for a two-year trial. During this two years, a new group with equal representation from unions and the railroads would study the question. To iron out details of the temporary agreement, Wirtz called for a 20-day negotiating period beyond the Wednesday deadline, with both sides agreement that James J. Reynolds, assistant secretary of labor, would make a binding decision on any issue not settled during the period.

I simply can't believe that collective bargaining is inadequate to solve a problem of this type," Wirtz said. He said his proposal was an effort to establish in the railroad industry the human relations which has been success- Ul in steel negotiations and is now being tried in the auto industry.

Earlier, Wirtz told the negotiators that, unless the deadlock was broken, there were only two possibilities a nationwide rail strike or legislation. "You appear to accept the in- vitability of these possibilities," he said.

"I don't. A shutdown would result inevitably in weakening free collective bargaining." Wirtz has said repeatedly in the past that he considered that col- ective bargaining, itself, was on trial in the railroad work-rules lispute.

I just poked it through the bushes and the fence and shot.

The boy was standing only about three or four feet away and Weaver had guns all around him. It was just luck that I hit him right." Weaver was sentenced to a life term Tuesday on his guilty plea to robbing a service station operator and severely beating him with a car generator. Wednesday night, he set fire to a mattress in his jail cell it Marianna. He and three other prisoners were taken to a hospital for treatment of minor burns. Early Thursday, Deputy Alan Finch, 43, escorted Weaver to the bajhroom.
