of a will sneak Friday las. 1 Che Clarion Ledger Saturday, June 17, 1967 HEW-ITT TO THE LINE LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY By PURSER HEWITT 'MAWNIN', MISSISSIPPI! Short words are best and the old words, when short, are the best of all. Winston Churchill AIN'T IT SO? Sometimes how far a young man goes is dependent on how much gas Dad left in the car. ON FATHER'S DAY He wasn't short, he wasn't tall, He wasn't big, he wasn't small; His life was just a patient planMy Dad was just that kind of man. He had a coat that once was new; He wore it many seasons through, In fire and flood, in rain and In famine, and good fortune's glow.

In sickness and in health his coat Was part of Dad, his badge of note; In time it was both frayed and worn, Yes, it was tattered, 100, and torn. In flush of youth I wondered why He did not toss it out and buy A brand new coat of late design. As elegant as garb of mine. He proudly hung it up one day, He knew his end was on the way, Then he laid down in faith and trust And holy slumber of the just. But yesterday I took it down, That ragged, little coat of brown: I pulled it on, the seams burst freeYet it was much too big for me.

UN MEET Continued From Page 1 is expected to be routine with Ambassador Abdul Rahman Pazhwak of Afghanistan in the president's chair. He was president of the last regular session. There will be the traditional moment of silent meditation, appointment of a credentials committee and adoption of the agenda. Some fireworks could flare over the wording of the agenda. Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei A.

Gromyko asked that the assembly consider "the question of liquidating the of Israel's aggression against consequences the Arab states and the immediate withdrawal of Israel's troops behind the armistice lines." Goldberg was expected to oppose any wording along that line as one-sided and prejudicial, and argue that the item be listed as "the Middle East question." or something similar. The Soviet wording reflected the Soviet demand that the General Assembly condemn Israel as an aggressor and order a withdrawal of troops to positions held before the war started June 5. The U.N. Security Council refused to approve a Soviet resolution containing those demands, and the Soviet Union asked that the emergency special session be convened to discuss the problem.

Rankin Paid Honors The Jackson Central Lions Club honored a man known as "Mr. Mississippi Lion" when tributes were paid Friday to Charles Stephens Rankin.

Past President Ray Tillman was in charges of the program which took a "This Is Your Life" theme and presented varied facets of the life and labors of the oft-honored member of the club. Mr. Tillman talked of Mr. Rankin, the man, and gave a biographical sketch, including mention of the Rankin family, Mrs. Rankin, Mr.

and Mrs. Charles S. Rankin, of Charleston, and granddaughter Lenora Rankin, 8th grader at West Tallahatchie High, all present for the occasion.

"Patriotic American" was the theme of remarks by Judge L.

Arnold Pyle, with special reference to past Post Commander Rankin of the Louis Jiggitts post of the American Legion. "Professional Man" was given by Walter Thrash, who recalled the services performed for the Jackson chapter of the National Association of Accountants. "Civic Leader" was the theme of Cecil Jaquith, who paid tribute to the former chairman and only charter member still active on the Jackson Appeals Review Board after 20 years of service. "Lion" was the topic for R. L.

Stainton, who traced the career of Mr. Rankin in the local, state and International Lions clubs, enumerating the many offices held by Mr. Rankin. The climax came when Alex McKeighney, past president who performed in the absence of President C. Arthur Sullivan, presented three awards to Mr.

LONG Continued From Page 1 "The committee is not with the presentation of its material." Bennett said. "I'm willing at any time that the Senate wants to vote on the charge that this man committed a federal crime and double billed the government," Long said.

"In my judgment, there's just no case whatever on this double billing," said Long. He said some of the instances by the ethics committee were mistakes of which Dodd was unaware, and charged that two were the work of a former aide who wanted to discredit Dodd. At least two of the charges stemmed from official trips en which Dodd received speechmaking fees or other expense while payments from private groups, his airline travel was billed to the government, Long said. Out to prove that point, Long turned toward Dodd, seated at a back-row desk. "I'd just like to ask the senator a question," Long said.

"If the senator would just take his feet." Dodd rose wearily. VIETNAM Continued From Page 1 cans. Mud of monsoon rains muffled the force of the explosions and held down casualties. U.S. jet planes and artillery hammered at the suspected Viet Cong positions.

Results of the counterfire were undetermined. In scattered contacts elsewhere, South Vietnamese headquarters said government troops killed 16 Viet Cong 20 miles south of Saigon. Briefing officers had reported 366 of the enemy killed in a series of stiff engagements Wednesday and Thursday. Twenty-two Americans and five Vietnamese soldiers were listed as dead in these fights, which ranged from the Mekong River delta to the hills south of Da Nang in the north. Radio Hanoi said two of the three Viet Cong under sentence were identified -Bui Van Chien, alias Nam Hoa, and Le Chau, alias Canh.

Neither of these names matched Saigon records. POLITICAL PRINTING Everything From Bumper Strips To Candidate Cards 24 HOUR SERVICE UNION SHOP JACKSON PRINTING 441 W. Pascagoula Dial 352-4551 Court Street, J. Harold Hetrick; Hattiesburg Grandview, J. A.

He said Federal agents offered him a waiver of his rights which he refused to sign.

Willard, his weight down drastically from the 240 pounds he weighed at the time of the robbery, tried to present a picture of promises made by FBI agents in exchange for a confession. In presenting the government's answer, assistant U. S. Attorney Don Strange put Roy K. Moore, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI in 1 Mississippi and Special Agent John Puddister on the stand.

Moore declared emphatically that he made no promise te Willard but arranged for him to talk with Mrs. Strong, who identified herself in court as Mrs. Geraldine Franks, and her attorney while in the Greenville jail. After the conference, Moore testified, Willard indicated that he wanted to make a statement and was subsquently interviewed by two agents. They later testified as to his admissions.

PROPOSED EXCHANGE The government contended that Willard wanted the state charges dropped against him for assault and battery with intent to kill (Capt. Long) and kidnapping of the Greenville officer, and no prosecution of his girl friend in exchange for the identity of Tomlin and Bryan. In giving his ruling, Judge Cox said that any statements made by the defendent were voluntary and there was no evidence that Willard was intimidated, mistreated. or opressed. In fact, Judge Cox said, FBI agents on every turn made the defendent so painstaking.

Cox commended Attorney Taylor for his defense of Willard and described his work as skillful.

When asked if he had anything to say before sentencing, Willard, in sarcastic vein, made remarks about his physical condition, saying that the doctors said he was sick, that he thought he was sick. WOULD NOT ARGUE Cox told him he did not wish to argue the matter and pronounced sentence. After wards, the judge explained the procedures for appeal of the decision to the appellant court, which would involve Willard's signing a pauper's oath in order to obtain defense aid. Willard objected to the reference of a pauper's oath and thanked the judge for referring to him as a pauper. Judge Cox firmly but quietly told him.

"Don't get impudent with me." Willard told the clerk he did want to sign the pauper's oath for the appeal. Then a deputy U. S. Marshal put handcuffs on him and he was led out of the courtroom. Willard had been serving four life sentences in Kentucky when he was paroled about six weeks before the November bank robbery here.

He had been convicted on four counts of armed robbery in the early 1950's. Now at Primos Country Kitchen The Sam Hill Singers Jackson's newest singing group Folk and Popular Songs For Both Young and Old. Fri. Sat. Nights, 7:00 p.m.
