The total number of unem ployed dipped by 359,000 to 2,929,000 last month, bringing the over-all unemployment rate down from 3.7 to 3.6 per cent ol the civilian labor force. About one-fifth ol the total non whites, mostly Negroes, the Bureau of Labor Statistics saic Wednesday.

While the jobless rate for Negroes dropped three-tenths of 1 per cent to 6.9 per cent it was still more than twice the white rate 3.2 per cent, which down one-tenth 1 per cenl from February. Total employment rose aboul 100,000 to hit the new all-time high mark, the Bureau said. Virtually all the job gains were in trades, government and service businesses.

Police Report Second Car At Murder Scene MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) The presence of a second white Mustang near the doorway which police say the slayer of Dr. Martin Luther King used to escape gave rise today to published reports that it may have been the getaway car. The Memphis Commercial Appeal said the car with Arkansas tags and a similar vehicle, parked a short distance north, both left the scene witin 15 minutes after King was fatally shot a week ago today. Both veliicles were within 100 feet of the doorway to the second-floor rooming house where police said the assassin waited and shot King as he stood on the balcony of a motel across a rear street.

The killer was believed to have walked out of the Main Street entrance to the rooming house, turned south and dropped the murder weapon in front of a business firm next door. Guy Canipe, owner of the firm, said he saw the young while man drop the package which contained the gun, but did not see his face. The Commercial Appcp! cpcc ulatcd that the man then walkec a few steps farther aiong, got into the dirty white Mustang with Arkansas tags and spec away. The second Mustang, parked north of the rooming house entrance, also left the scene near the time of Ihe shooting. Police said they would investigate reports that a supposed police chase in northeast Memphis --eight miles from (he scene--30 minutes after the shooting may have been a decoy to allow the killer to escape.

A recording of the police radio showed seven calls in 12 minutes from a lieutenant's car in the northeast section of the city detailing the case. The lieutenant said Tuesday he did not make the calls. This led to speculation that someone other than police may have sent Ihe calls on the police frequency to draw officers away from the escape route. March Marks End HOUSTON, Tex.

L. Buckle, in a longstanding wafer rights case, but has denied Buckle compensatory damages. The latest action by Chancellor Butt is the firmest legal Soviets To Move Against Liberals MOSCOW (AP) The Soviet Communist party, apparently made fearful by the liberalization move in Czechoslovakia, warned officials down the line they must "wage an offensive struggle against bourgeois ideology." The party's central committee gave its approval after a two- day secret meeting to the crack- on dissenters already launched by the party's leaders. The crackdown was touched ofi by intellectual protests against secret police actions since the January trial of four young dissidents. Soviet leaders are believed concerned that the new freedom in Czechoslovakia might undermine party control elsewhere in the Communist camp.

(AP) A pretty red-haired go-go dancer helps a minister conduct a special predawn church service each Wednesday-- and she plans to become a Methodist minister. Shapely Shirley Thomas, 24, says the Methodist services are for "night adding proudly that she herself is a "night person." For six nights a week-- from 9:30 p.m. until 2 a.m.-- she dances at a local nightclub. She says she also was the first of the city's go-go performers to work with a boa constrictor. She did the act, clad in a leopard-skin bikini and fig leaves, with the snake draped around her neck.

Shirley is a senior psychology major at Georgia State College with a B-plus average. She also is quite serious about entering the ministry. Two years ago, she was injured in a serious automobile accident. "If there was any one moment that changed my whole life, it was that wreck," she said. "I think it was then that I began to think about entering the ministry." Miss Thomas has enrolled in the Candler School of Theology at Emory University for the fall quarter.

The civil lawsuit began in when Buckle alleged that Forrest Rodgers of Lincoln had a up a portion of Moore's Creek near his property, and had diverted water. a a continued through the years, getting more complicated as cross-defendants and answers and demurrers were added. The lawsuit has been described as a landmark case on the legality of free-flowing water.

Then came McCarthy's April 2 Wisconsin primary landslide, a 57 per cent share of the vote. Kennedy wasn't on the ballot there, but he will be in Indiana on May 7.

And McCarthy has acknowledged the primary tests may prove more difficult to his cause. But he insists he will wage to the end--the Democratic National Convention in Chicago-the campaign he announced on Nov. 30. And the major shift, from an effort to focus internal Democratic debate on Vietnam policy to one designed to win the White House, already has occurred. It was, perhaps, best signaled by McCarthy's nationwide television address from Milwaukee on April 1, delivered in his familiar low-key style.

"This effort is really no longer, if it ever was, one which was concerned simply with raising issues," McCarthy said. "It was never just an educational program, although some of the critics of my effort in the early stages suggested that that was really all that it could be. "This is my role today, this is what I am--a candidate for the nomination of the Democratic Party for the presidency of the United States of America."
