NORTHWEST ARKANSAS TIMES, Foyettevllte, Arkaniai, Monday, April 22, 1968 Continued From Page 1 OFFICIAL in New Orleans in 1964-65. The FBI said later the earlier description should have said Gall reportedly took dancing lessons rather than stating it flatly. During that time, Ray was in Jhe Missouri State Prison at Jef: ferson City, serving a 20-year sentence for a 1959 supermarket irobbery. The age of the man also was in conflict. Witnesses who saw a man in a Memphis rooming house from where the fatal bullet was firec estimated his age as in (he late 20s.

The FBI, in issuing its warrant for Gait, said he had given his birthdate July 20, 1931. That 1 would make him 36. The FBI said Friday Ray is 40. The personalities of the two men are sometimes at odds. A prison pal described Ray as vir: tually a non-drinker.

FBI describes Gait as a fancier ol beer and vodka. There were other differences: Gait: neat appearance. Ray: careless appearance. Gait: Southern accent. Ray: born in Alton, 111.

No Southern accent. Atly. Gen. Ramsey Clark, who came to Memphis after King was slain, at first ruled oul a conspiracy, but then the FBI issued its warrant for Gait on a conspiracy charge. TRUMBO Rogers of North Little Itock was re-elected National Committeeman over Miss Pat Williams, also of North Little Rock.

HOPE Communications Workers. Union officials in New Jersey protested the firing of four workers accused fay Petition Filed To Reorganize Private Ciub The manager of a well-known Fayetteville private club -The Gaslight has filed a petition in Washington Circuil Court to form a private "organization" under Arkansas' non-profit laws. Doyle Morgan petitioned the court to be allowed to form an organization known as Center Street The address of the organization, as contained in the petition, is identical with that the Downtown Motor Lodge--21 S. College Ave.

The Gaslight Club is located in the Downtown Motor Lodge The Gaslight and other clubs in Fayetteville that dispensed hard liquor and mixed drinks came under fire last montl when the attorney genera ruled they were breaking lh' law. A more recent ruling, madi last week by the Alcoholic Bev erage Control Board, would al low private clubs to still serve mixed drinks. A court case has not tested the new ruling. Judge Maupin Cummings has nol ruled on the petition for forming the non-profit Center Street Association. Tiie petition lists Morgan as the resident agent of the proposed nfcw club.

It lists directors as Dr. Robert McCullum, Lee Johnson, and Morgan. Attorneys who have examined the Arkansas Non-Profit Act think an organization formed under this act would probably be allowed to dispense mixed drinks to "members, families of members, guests, and other duly authorized guesls." A firm ruling has not been made in on what constitutes a "duly authorized guest." A Fayetteville attorney believes the legal loopholes in the Arkansas Non-Profit Act are "wide apen" for dispensing mixed drinks (o "anyone who walked in the door." The petition filed by attorneys for Morgan said the Street Association was being formed "to provide social, recreational and cultural" facilities for members and guests. ny of misconduct. Union officials also charged that company supervisors in New Jersey were deliberately running their trucks into pickets.

Galey a i Tebhetts kept the bullet with him and presumably it was buried with him since the family was unable to find it following Tebbelts death. Galey expressed appreciation for the community effort which preserved the house and commended successive owners who, he said, "brought the house from the I9th into the 20th without losing its charm." Adm.

Powell Rhea, former mayor of Fayetteville and the society's vice president, welcomed guests. Ernie Deane, member of the society's editorial board, presented certificates of appreciation and lifetime memberships to Raymond Resamen of Little Hock and Paris R.

Edwards Sons In a week marked by at- HANOI involved in the war, that it have adequate and presumably secure communications, that it be open for news coverage and that it be a place where neither side would have a psychological or propaganda advantage. The United Stales had opposed Phnom Penh for negotiations because it has no diplomatic relations with Cambodia and objected that Warsaw, a Communist capital, could not be considered neutral. In New Delhi, which has been mentioned as a possible conference site, Soviet Premier Alexei N. Kosygin and Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi discussed Vietnam Sunday. In- forinanls said Ihey brought up the question of a place for lalks, but no details were disclosed.

Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy said Washington Sunday that unless Hie United Slates is willing to approve some kind of Soulh Vietnamese coalition government including the Viet Cong, "there is not much lo ncgoli- tempts to consolidate the recent 65-point gain and further moves by the Federal Reserve Board to curb inflation, the Dow Industrials lost about eight points. The monetary actions were taken against a background of news of a sizable quarterly increase in the Gross National Product, increases in personal disposable income, increases in corporate profits after taxes, and indications that retail sales were still in an uptrend. At the same time, there was no appreciable progress in the i i i a i of exploratory "peace" talks with the North Vietnamese.

Nevertheless, 931 stocks advanced in price while 611 declined and the number of new highs for Ihe year was considerably larger than the number of new lows. Building material slocks and those of the savings and loan holding companies were conspicuously weak in the sell-off on Friday. Special situations were relalively unaffected. It may reasonably be expected that the events of last week will tend to dampen investor enthusiasm over future business prospects which had been building lately. However, it should be noled that Ihe money tightening action by the Federal Reserve Board was taken with the expressed intention of slowing an incipient boom.

It was also a prod to Ihe powerful House Ways and Means Committee to act on the President's tax surcharge proposal. Constructive action on either Ihis proposal or in the peace negotiations, so-called, should tend lo moderate any corrective tendencies which may appear in the market. The South Vielnamese govern- menl, he said, should be told bluntly that if it does not go along, the United Stales will start a military withdrawal.

Senatorial Re-Election Ruling Upheld LITTLE ROCK (AP) The Arkansas Supreme Court today upheld a Circuit Court ruling that only nine slate senators must stand for re-election this year. The ruling was on a suit filed by the Republican party which raised the question of how many senators had to stand for election this year. Under a revision of the senatorial districts according to the U.

S. Supreme Court's one man, one-vote doctrine, 26 senators were elected in 1966, leaving nine as holdovers. The state constitution requires the election of 18 senators in one year and IV two years later. The GOP contended that senators should draw lots after an apportionment to determine who must stand for re-election. The high court disagreed with the GOP contention, saying that the drawing for lots should come on a reapportionment following a federal census every 10 years if a reapportionment is required.

The reapportionment that left the election of senators out of balance came under court order. The high court said the constitutional provisions amount to a restriction upon the length of terms of office for which some senators are elected and thai all senators are aware of it and would have no grounds to complain if their terms were limited to two years through lot drawing after a federal census reapportionment. "But we do not think an additional restriction should be placed on their in the absence of constitutional sane wrote Associate Justice Lyle Brown in the unanimous decision. The ruling upheld that of Circuit Judge Warren E. Wood of Little Rock.

The high court said there is i no occasion for a drawing lots until at least aflcr the 1970 federal census has been taken Mean 225ilntl Harv 3231 ATT SOUJ Penney 7oU Anaconda Kerr Me 131 Ark Gas 2 Knis Alum 43 Avco 44 Mont Ward 2831 Baldwin 2 Northrop Boeing 72 IPan Am Wo 21 Phillips 59i.ii IRalston 23', 6Mi 25 Reg Pa is recommended to those who seek advice in advance.
