(AP Wirephoto) ANDREW FISCHER (glasses), father of the Aberdeen, S. quintuplets, talks into a battery of microphones during a news conference yesterday in St. Luke's Hospital, in Aberdeen. He told Residents Flee Path Of 'Cindy' By BEN THOMAS PORT ARTHUR, Tex. Iff).

Hurricane Cindy whirled toward the Texas-Louisiana coast Monday night and thousands fled before her 80-mile-an-hour winds. The storm, spawned as a tropical disturbance in the Gulf of Mexico, grew within hours to full-blown hurricane size and pushed steadily toward Sabine Pass, the dividing point between Texas and Louisiana. The entire 5,000 population of Cameron Parish, was hurried to shelter in Lake Charles and Sulphur, 40 miles inland. More than 750 residents of the Texas villages of Sabine and Sabine Pass, in Cindy's path, were being moved to higher ground. Authorities debated whether to evacuate this city, of nearly 70,000 population.

Meanwhile, many residents decided for themselves and streamed inland. DESERTING COAST The Texas coast from Galveston to Louisiana was expected to be deserted by midnight. The city of Galveston was expected to ride out the storm without evacuation, using emergency hurricane precautions which are an old story to its citizens. However, an estimated 500 persons living in the west end of Galveston Island, unprotected by the sea wall, were moved out. Galveston school buildings were opened to those in need of shelter.

Residents of Bolivar Peninsula, between Beaumont and Galveston, fled in all directions-some to Houston, others to Beaumont. All school buildings in Beaumont, just inland from Port Arthur, were opened to the slorm-driven. Shrimp boats and other small craft scurried for shelter and big ships were made fast. The port of Houston shut down all operations. In Cindy's path lay the same areas which suffered the wrath of Hurricane Carla two years ago and 1957's Hurricane Audrey, which killed more than 500 in Cameron Parish.

The weather bureau placed the JA WAKE OF CHURCH BOMBING Domestic Unity Urged In Nation by Kennedy HURRICANE CINDY last night was due to hit the Louisiana-Texas coast at Sabine Pass, west of Cameron on the Louisiana-Texas border, with winds hitting 80 miles per hour and gales extending 'from Galveston, to Vermilion Bay, 100 miles west of New Orleans. The hurricane was moving north at 10 miles per hour and last was reported 80 miles due south of Sabine Pass. (Times Map) WASHINGTON l.

ShrevepoH- 50 100 STORM Hurricane Audrey in 1957 Martial Law Is Lifted by S.Viet Nam SAIGON, Viet Nam UP) President Ngo Dinh Diem's government Monday lifted the martial law it imposed after raiding Buddhist pagodas Aug. 21.

It also announced that press censorship had ended. Although the end of martial law was formally proclaimed, soldiers still guarded the boys' and girls' high schools which were centers Of anti-government demonstrations in the past 10 days. Martial law had caused a surge of anti-American feeling because many persons arrested under its terms were carted off in trucks bearing the clasped-hands symbol of American aid. Thousands of them were students. Diem said the students eventually would be released.

Girl students, members of a Buddhist youth group, are being held in a suburban military camp where American soldiers go daily in the course of advising South Vietnamese in the campaign against pro-Communist Viet Cong guerrillas. Diem claimed Communists had infiltrated Buddhist groups and therefore he had to crack down Diem, a Roman Catholic, denied that any persecution was in volved. NO NEWS PARLEY WASHINGTON Wl President Kennedy will not hold a news conference this week, the White House said Monday. However, he concluded "all this, I suppose, is idle nonsense, suitable enough for the mindless seagull but hardly worthy of the most exalted of God's creatures." Fulbright's brief speech was laced with delicate barbs at advocates of huge nuclear bomb explosions, the Senate, Britain's sex scandals and man's historic inability to get along with his fellows. Crediting his facts to an article in "National Wildlife" magazine, Fulbright said the seagull seldom goes "beyond ceremonial expressions of hostility." The "ultimate provocation" between two opponents occurs when one or the other leans over and begins pulling grass.

That usually ends it. "It takes little imagination to conceive of the benefits which would accrue to humanity if we were able to apply such civilized techniques to our own rivalries," he said. He said if the bombing Sundav which claimed the lives of four Negro children can awaken Birmingham, Alabama and the nation to "the folly of racial injustice and hatred and violence, then it is not too late for all concerned to unite in steps before more lives are lost." In a special statment the President saKJ-cf the incident: regrettable that public disparagement of law and order has encouraged violence which has fallen on the innocent." FLAYED IN SENATE Kennedy's statement followed quickly on denunciations in the Senate of the Birmingham bombing and a renewed call for speedy Senate action on at least part of the administration's civil rights program. Atty. Gen.

Robert F. Kennedy postponed until Wednesday two speeches he was scheduled to de liver in Philadelphia Monday in order to remain in close contact with the Birmingham situation. President Kennedy noted that Justice Department aides plus Federal Bureau of Investigation bomb experts had been sent to Birmingham Sunday to assist state and local authorities. He added: "This nation is committed to a course of domestic justice and tranquility and I call upon every citizen, white and Negro, North and South, to put passions and prejudices aside and join in this effort." The President made no direct mention of Alabama Gov. George C.

Wallace in his statement. In answer to questions, White House Press Secretary Pierre Salinger said he had no information whether Kennedy planned to send a personal message to Wallace. The President had special stroller The Senate took the par liamentary step when it agreed unanimously to accent the actual text of the treaty without amendment and begin consideration ot the separate ratification resolution. This action came as Sen. George S.

McGovern, said he would support the treaty as a "concrete gesture to help protect the Fischer quintuplets born in his state and all other children from radioactive fallout. Senate leader Mike Mansfield, also noted the birth of the quints and expressed hope the Senate would give considerable thought to "those who are coming up" in the future. Although the Senate accepted the treaty text, the ratification resolution still is open to amendments, interpretations and reser vations which if approved might compel renegotiation of the pact with Russia and Britain. 81 READY TO VOTE The latest count by United Press International showed 81 senators ready to vbte for the treaty. And 13 are firmly against the pact.

Six others have not yet declared themselves either way. Sen. Paul Douglas, an nounced Monday that despite "some genuine doubts he would vote for ratification. A three- fourths vote of the Senate is re-. quired to ratify.

As the Senate went into session two hours early to begin the sec ond week of treaty debate. Sens. J. William Fulbnght, and A. Willis Robertson, exchanged barbed remarks.

Robertson accused Fulbright of "playing down" the views of military officers in opposition to the treaty ban on all but under ground teste. Fulbright, chairman of the For eign Relations Committee and a strong backer of ratification, de nied Robertson charge and snapped: "I would think that even a 10-year-old child would be able to see that this treaty should be ratified." Robertson reaffirmed his oppo sition on grounds the treaty would subject the United States to "ter rifying blackmail" by the Soviet Union. "Knowing what I do about the military issues involved, I would violate the dictates of my con science if I voted for the pending treaty," he said. Sen. John Sparkman, second ranking Democrat on the Foreign Relations Committee, made a speech specially aimed at persuading Sen.

Margaret Chase Smith, to vote for ratification. Sparkman addressed himself to if! auestions Mrs. Smith said she wanted answered before mak ing up her mind on the issue. He acknowledged there were risks to the acreement but said ratifi cation in itself "will not make that situation more or less hazardous." The Alatiaman also declared that if the treaty fails to work, "then a future nuclear war will in all probability 'solve' all our problems." Heavy Rains Expected in Ark-La-Tex The weather picture, abruptly changed by Hurricane Cindy, shows cloudy skies and heavy rains over most of the Ark-La-Tex area. Heavy winds and squalls with winds up to 75 knots are expected west of Grand Isle in Louisiana.

The winds are expected to diminish in the afternoon and evening. Other Louisiana areas are expected to receive scattered showers. Highs are predicted to range from 76 to 86. Arkansas highs are expected to range from the mid to upper 70's. Little change in temperatures are expected.

East Texans will face highs ranging from 74 to 80. Some of the highs in the areas yesterday included Shreveport, 78; Monroe, 82; Lufkin, 76; and El Dorado, 77. Group Gives Quick Okay To Joh Bill Lets U.S. Uncover, End Discrimination By Race in Work By STEVEN GERSTEL WASHINGTON (UPD A Senate subcommittee Monday gave quick informal approval to a bill which would permit the government to uncover and halt racial disenmr nation in jobs. Chairman Joseph S.

Clark, D' of the Senate Manpower subcommittee said a majority ap proved the new draft of the strong equal employment opportunities bill. He said the absence of four senators held up formal and per haps unanimous recommendation of the measure to the parent Labor Committee. The bill would create a Labor Department administrator who could start investigations and take action to ferret out discrimination by employers, unions and the government. The administrator could act even without a complaint. The bill also would establish a five-man board, independent of any agency, which would hold for mal hearings on complaints before any cease and desist order was issued by the administrator.

Appeals from actions by the ad ministrator or the board could be taken to the U.S. Appeals Court or to special three-judge courts. The bill is similar to fair employment practices legislation which never has made it through Congress. The amount of money appropriated for the administrator and the independent board probably would mean that smaller employers were exempted from the bill, Clark said. He said limitations in their budgets would permit action only against larger employers.

The biil would not, however, specifically exempt employers on the basis of the number of persons employed. Exempted would be members of the armed forces and people employed by the legislative and judiciary branches of the federal government. JFK Plans To Report on Tax Measure WASHINGTON (UPP Presi dent Kennedy stepped up the battle on behalf of his $11 billion tax cut Monday by announcing plans for a direct report to the people on the administration-backed bill pending in the House. The President scheduled a radio-television speech at 7 p.m., CST Wednesday for a presentation of his views on the tax bill which the House will start debating Sept. 24.

The measure is expected to win House approval. But Republicans are in the midst of a drive to defeat it, or to sponsor amendments that would hold up part of the proposed reduction if the administration does not hold the line on spending. The President, who sees the tax cut as an economy boosting measure, is expected to talk about 15 minutes on the bill that would reduce individual and corporate taxes by $11 billion in 1964 and 1965. The President's announcement came after the administration had embraced as its own the tax bill hammered out by the House Ways and Means Committee and approved by that group last Tuesday on a 17 to 8 vote. Treasury Secretary Douglas Dillon issued a statement Sunday in which he said that the administration would not ask the Senate to change the House bill, except for one possible exception.

The administration, striving to get the measure through Congress this year, wants to avoid time-consuming hearings by the Senate finance committee. The committee is headed by Sen. Harry F. Byrd. who opposes a tax cut unless accompanied by spending reductions.

Cameron residents began pouring into Lake Charles and Sulphur late in the afternoon and continued to arrive during the night, re membering the 1957 hur ricane which claimed the lives of some 500 persons. Authorities were hastily mar shaling emergency units of every nature for what they believe may be the worst hurricane to hit southwest Louisiana since Hurricane Audrey. Carter advised residents of Grand Cheniere, Holly Beach, Hackberry, Johnson Bayou, Creole, the city of Cameron and other low-lying areas to evacuate before nightfall. Evacuees are being accommo dated in two high schools in Lake Charles and a high school and a Negro elementary school in Sulphur, some 40 miles north of Cameron. School in Cameron Parish towns let out early Monday after the weather bureau issued its hurricane warnings, and residents immediately began packing and moving out.

Carter said the entire sheriff's force will stay in Cameron. Many persons took shelter in the Cameron courthouse during Hurricane Audrey and were not harmed by the 1957 killer hurricane. The courthouse is on the only high ground in the area. CATTLE MOVED In addition to the exodus of the population, many persons were hastily moving cattle to higher ground Monday before departing for Lake Charles, but very few cattle were removed (Continued on Page Ten-A) Negroes Ask Occupation of Birmingham Regular Army Units Requested; Grand Jury Probe Called BIRMINGHAM, Ala. IPI Negro leaders called for occupa tion of this strife-torn city by regular army troops Monday as a federal grand jury was ordered to probe the city's racial troubles.

The appeal for federal occupa tion came even as church bells tolled for prayer and peace and President Kennedy decried the violence and terror here. Dr. Martin Luther King Atlanta integration leader, said a direct appeal would bo made immediately to President Kennedy for dispatch of regular Army troops into Birmingham. King and other Negro leaders said nearly 200 Negroes and representatives of the white com munity here decided on the move at a special meeting. They called also for removal of 300 state troopers sent in at the request of local authorities to help preserve order.

GRIEF, ANGER The swift developments all were outgrowths of the death of four children in the bombing of a Negro church Sunday that left local and national leaders ap palled and swept the Negro community here into grief and anger. Two Negro youths were shot in separate incidents later. U.S. District Judge Clarence W. Allgood, a native of Birming ham, summoned the grand jury into special session to indict any one obstructing court-ordered de segregation of Birmingham schools.

Speaking of the dynamiting of the church, he said: "I can think of no greater her esy or more blackening sin against humanity. He said neither the courts nor the people of Birmingham would rest until "the insane murderer or murderers of those children are brought to the bar of justice." At the request of the Ministers Association, church bells tolled at noon for the community to pause in prayers for "a spiritual miracle" racial peace. And while the search for clues in the bombing went on, there were no indications that any prog ress was being made. FBI explosion experts went to the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church Monday to sift ruins of the blast that killed the four children and injured 23 other persons. Sheriff Mel Bailey said investigators have little to go on.

"We're not even positive it was dynamite, except for the odor," Bailey said. Arc Injured In Head-on Crasli TAMPAQUA, Pa. (IPfi-A loaded cement truck and a school bus carrying members of the local high school band crashed head-on Monday on Route 309 about two miles south of here injuring 34 persons. Both vehicles hurst into flames after the accident. At least 10 persons were admitted to Coaldale State General Hospital.

i Wreckage was strewn along the highway for several yards after the crash which occurred shortly after noon. Two Highway Department em ployes working nearby pulled three adults, including Michael Drabic of Lansford, the bus driver, from the wreckage. The children, members of the Tama-qua area high school band, kicked out windows and escaped. praise for Birmingham's Negro leaders. He said those leaders "who are counseling restraint in stead of violence are bravely serving their ideals in their most difficult task for principles of peaceful self-control are least ap pealing when most needed." In the Senate, Republican Jacob K.

Javits of New York said one of the lessons to be learned from the bombing is that "delay in civil rights legislation clearly cannot be justified if we can avoid it." Other senators lashed out at the bombing. Democratic leader Mike Mansfield of Montana called it "reprehensive and outrageous." Asst. Republican leader Thomas H. Kuchel of California called it "a crime against all the American people." RENEWS CALL Javits' renewed call for Senate action drew no immediate re sponse from Mansfield. The ma jority leader has said he plans to wait for the House to act on President Kennedy's civil rights program before bringing it up in the Senate where Southern sena tors are expected to filibuster against the program.

Javits has been urging im mediate Senate consideration of at least that part of the program which would ban racial discrimi nation in public accommodations such as hotels and restaufants. Javits said that Wallace, by "encouraging disrespect for law" was at least partially to blame, for the bombing. Mansfield said the church bombing "does not represent by any means the feeling of the great majority of the people of Birmingham, of Alabama, and of the United States." 23.

See Stories, Photos, Pages 10A, 4C hurricane at 8 p.m. about 80 miles southeast of Galveston, centered near latitude 28.3, longitude 93.8. "Cindy is poorly organized and the eye of the storm is large and ill-defined," the weather bureau said.

The storm was expected to move northward about 10 miles per hour and the bureau said "only slight intensification is likely." "It should move inland near the Texas-Louisiana border late tonight (Monday night) or early Tuesday," the bulletin continued. Cindy, born from a low pressure cell in the Gulf, became the third hurricane of the 1963 season. The others Arlene and Beu-lah were both Atlantic hurricanes. Neither posed a serious threat to any land areas. In the 6 p.m.

bulletin on Cindy, the weather bureau said it was not a well organized hurricane. "The eye of the storm is large and ill defined," said the bureau. Forecasters warned of heavy rain Monday night and today in extreme eastern Texas and western Louisiana with up to 10 inches likely in some spots. Only a handful of people remain in the town of Cameron, seat of justice for the parish. Sheriff Carter and a few deputies will maintain vigil at the courthouse, which is on the highest point of ground in Cameron.

At Lake Charles, weather bureau forecaster Joe Worrell said Cindy appeared to be a "dangerous hurricane." High winds posed a threat to Louisiana's sugarcane crop, which is due to be cut next month. Release of Song Refused by Park SEOUL (UPD Park Chung Hee, chairman of Korea's military junta, Monday rejected a plea for the release of former premier Song Yo (Tiger) Chan, one of his opponents in next month's presidential election. Song, 45, was jailed last month on charges of slandering Park's government, and illegally executing Korean soldiers during the Korean war. Kim Joon Yun. chairman of Song's Liberal Democratic party, asked Park to release Song "in the name of fair play." Park turned down the request, stating that Song's fate is for the court to decide.

AVOIDANCE OF CONFLICT Solon Sees Much to Be Learned from Seagull The Senior Youth Group at St. Matthias Episcopal Church, 2836 Exposition Ave, will wash cars at a service station at 3606 Jewella Rd. from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday.

Trading stamps will be given with every wash job. and proceeds will be used for the group's activities for the coming year. WASHINGTON (I'PIl-Man could learn a lot from the lowly seagull, Sen. J. William Fulbright, told the Senate Monday, but it's probably too much to expect.

The chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee broke the somber tone of the test ban treaty debate with a dead-pan recital of the seagull's virtues, especially it's civilized avoidance of conflict. The seagull, Fulbright said, is a "marvelous bird" with high moral standards, high regard for private property, great respect for seniority, and a form of ceremonial combat" as a substitute for hostilities. "Perhaps if we would look about we might learn from other inhabitants of this terrestrial sphere who have done a much better job than we have in learning to live at peace with each other," he said.
