Integration of faculties and extra-curricular activities.

Consolidation of all rural schools. "I have known you for a good while," Faulkner told the dem onstrators. "We have kept the communications open and will try to continue to keep them open." He said the complaint would be given to the school board. Faulkner said the county could not turn over the operation of its schools to any group other than that charged with their responsibility. Referring to the threatened classroom boycott beginning Monday, Faulkner added: "We will open the schools Mon day.

If no one comes, then we'll hold schools without students But that would be a mistake." The superintendent said he would march with the demon strators if it would get them bet ter school facilities, but he added he did not think it could be accomplished in that manner. Faulkner said the school board recently polled Negro res idents of the county and that 60 per cent of them said they wanted a cotton harvest. He said he personally is opposed to split school terms.

Many fires were observed. Four more Thunderchiefs bombed a railroad bridge in the Yen Bay area about 90 miles northwest of Hanoi, but results were not reported. Three buildings were destroyed, an antiaircraft position was obliterated, and a newly constructed runway was cra-tered in a raid on an air field 80 miles southwest of Hanoi, the spokesman said.

Two raids were staged on the Dong Hoi military barracks, 35 miles north of the border, the spokesman added. The raid by 15 Navy Skyhawks and eight support planes was highly successful, the spokesman said, but gave no other details. Hanoi radio charged the Unit ed States was making "deliber ate and frantic" bombing raids on medical establishments in North Viet Nam. SAIGON, South Viet Nam (AP) A district headquarters and outpost only four miles from Saigon were attacked by the Viet Cong early Sunday, a U.S. military spokesman said.

Radio contact with the post was lost, and it was believed to have been overrun. The spokesman said the Viet Cong opened up with mortars on the district headquarters at Binh Chanh, four miles west-southwest of the capital. A ground assault followed, he said. No further contact had been reported with the outpost at midmornmg. the spokesman said.

Details were sketchy but it was believed the outpost had been manned by only a few pop ular force or regional force troops. Flare planes and armed heli copters were sent to the area during the early morning hours, but there was no immediate re port as to whether they made contact with the Viet Cong. Grim Parade Comes Back From Sinking NORFOLK, Va. (AP) A grim procession of boats brought back to shore Saturday the four survivors of what may have been the first "Torpedo Alley" sinking in more than 20 years. These were among the 12 men who were aboard the deep-sea trawler Snoopy when she was blown to bits Friday night in a freak explosion almost surely caused by a torpedo.

Eight died. One body was brought to shore with the survivors Saturday. Coast Guard spokesmen held out little hope that any other bodies would be found. Sharks were sighted in the area shortly after the disaster. Among the victims was an 18-year-old Daniel Broy of Scarborough, Maine, serving as an apprentice.

The 65-foot-long wooden boat out of Portland, Maine, had been working 41 miles due east of False Cape on North Carolina's Outer Banks, a watery graveyard for ships for years and the infamous "Torpedo Alley" where Nazi U-boats sank scores of Allied vessels during World War II. She had been out for four days and 17,000 pounds of shucked scallops were resting in ice be low decks. Then about 9:15 p.m., with the winch working so hard to pull in the latest catch that the motor had to be watered down to keep it cool, an ugly metal shape broke surface with the scallops. Norman Maillet, on his first voyage as skipper of the nearby trawler Prowler and for five years the mate aboard the Snoopy, saw the net coming in And he saw what looked like a torpedo. "It was long and round," Maillet said.

"It was still half in the water when I saw it. I was talking to the Snoopy's skipper (Edward Doody of Portland) on the radio and he said he had something but he didn't know what it was. He said he was going to bring it aboard." Maillet said he broke off his conversation just before the explosion. "It just went," he said. "There was just a flash and it was all in pieces.

There was nothing but little bits of debris, and the dory and the top of the powerhouse floating around." Sidney C. Knowlton, 22, of Gloucester, a deckhand aboard the Prowler, said it was not unusual to bring up explo sives from the scallop banks. Not too long ago, he said, the Prowler pulled up a box of ammunition bearing a 1942 date. And within the past two weeks, he said, a torpedo was brought into New Bedford, Mass. Delegates (Continued from Page 1) ville, a delegate, has called the convention "a meaningless lesson in futility" and proposed that it quit and go home the day it arrives.

"This constitutional convention was called in 1962 to deal with reapportionment," Reynolds said. "The other issues in the call such as terms and pay of legislators, dates of election, time of meeting, filling of vacancies and legislative rules were just camouflage for the main Salaries, alone, for the convention delegates will cost the state $1,485 a day. In addition, they'll be allowed travel expenses comparable to those given the legislators. And unlike the legislature, there is no limit on how many days the convention can continue to meet. If the convention votes to amend sections of the constitution, the proposal must be submitted to the people in a statewide referendum and then approved by the next legislature.

Secretary of State Joe C. Carr will call the convention to order. Then will come the adoption of rules and the election of officers. The officers do not have to be delegates. The question of annual sessions likely will draw attention this week, if the delegates show as much concern as did many lawmakers in the legislature.

"We need annual sessions and four-year senate terms," says Sen. Mack Ray, D-Kingsport. "Too many bills are introduced every two years and left to die in a committee. "With annual sessions, committees could meet periodically when the legislature is not in session, and lawmakers would have ample time back home to really get public reaction to proposed laws. As it is now, the legislature does need guidance from the administration.

But annual sessions would provide additional time and help bring about true independence of legislative thought." (See Picture Page) COVINGTON, Tenn. (AP) A racially-mixed crowd of civil rights workers, numbering about 500, demanded a new school in tegration plan here Saturday and announced a boycott of Tipton County schools, which are due to begin sessions Monday. Led by the Rev. Ed Smith, a Negro minister, the crowd marched in 95-degree tempera ture from the county courthouse to the school board building sev eral miles away. School officials were told Ne gro students will remain away from classes until segregation ends.

The line of march extended a half-mile. Police and sheriff's deputies, including some Negro officers, guarded the parade route. And the marchers had their own parade marshals who wore arm bands. No incidents were reported during the demonstration here, but earlier the day at near by Brownsville, a young white civil rights worker reportedly was struck in the jaw with a stick. Danny Beagle, a demonstrator, said the victim was Douglas Korty.

In Brownsville, small civil rights groups obtained service at five or six restaurants. Milling crowds of white persons watched from the Haywood County courthouse lawn. The courthouse, usually open for business on Saturday, was closed. Meanwhile, officials of the Troxel bicycle plant near Mos cow, adjacent Fayette County, said they had agreed to hire Negroes as job openings occur. Baxton Bryant, executive di rector of the Tennessee Council on Human Relations, said Troxel agreed to hire 68 per cent Negroes on an attrition basis at the plant.

Bryant said 68 per cent corresponds roughly to the percentage of Negroes to white persons in the Moscow community. The company emphasized it would not fire employes to achieve the percentage. A list of demands presented to Shannon Faulkner, county Pilot Is Credited With Saving 40 (See Picture Page) WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. (AP) An Allegheny Airlines pilot, who crash-landed his twin-engine plane and was credited with saving the lives of all 40 persons aboard, said Saturday he re members nothing about the accident. "I don't remember anything before, during or after," the 36-year-old pilot, Allen Lauber of Philadelphia, told newsmen from his hospital bed.

Lauber, one of 18 persons who remained hospitalized fol lowing Friday crash near this north-central Pennsylvania city, had been interrogated by officials of the Civil Aeronautics Board prior to his interview with news media. Asked if he remembered notifying the control tower of engine trouble shortly after taking off from the Williamsport-Lycoming County Airport, Lauber replied: "I probably called into the tower, but I just don't remember anything about it. My first memory is of being here in the hospital. I wish to God I could remember." A spokesman at Williamsport Hospital said Lauber apparently had suffered a temporary mem ory loss due to shock. He said it was not unusual and added that in most cases the loss is only temporary.

Lauber and the three other crew members were cred ited with saving the lives of the 36 passengers aboard the Con-vair 440 which made a wheelsup belly landing in a narrow clearing near a rural church. The plane, Flight 604, originat ed in Pittsburgh and had taken off from Williamsport just moments before the forced landing. Its destination was Wilkes-Barre Scranton and then Newark, N.J. The passengers, with the aid of the crew, scrambled out through windows and emergency doors as a slow-burning, but fierce, fire left only a charred skeleton of wreckage. Roofennany MAYSVILLE.

(AP) The Mason County Historical Society labeled its musical event on Limestone Creek a "roofenanny." It wasn't because the volume raised the roof, but because the project sought funds to restore the roof to Mefford's fort, a log cabin built of logs floated down the Ohio River as rafts by pioneers. The State of Kentucky wanted to make the ca bin a shrine. THANK YOU for our Annual Vacation Which We Are Enjoying This Week. Be Seeing You Monday, Aug. 2nd.

She and Susan were members of the Chi Omega sorority. "Shirley's a smart girl and a very stable girl," said Mrs. Neill Kinard, Dallas, a legal guardian for Miss Stark.

"Her sorority sisters mean a lot to her. She doesn't even drink or smoke." Mrs. Kinard said Miss Stark had postponed indefinitely plans for a wedding originally set for early August. Wednesday, police were led to a bundle of clothes, including 17 blouses, 38 skirts and dresses and two pair of slacks, all on hangers. There was a laundry bag of soiled clothes and several pillows.

Susan Rigsby's name was on the band of one of the skirts. Police immediately speculated that two attractive girls would not voluntarily discard a large wardrobe of good clothes. Wednesday night, the widely publicized yellow Corvair was found parked behind an Austin apartment house, several blocks from where the women were last seen and about 10 blocks from Susan's new apartment. The car was dusty and its gas tank almost empty but otherwise undamaged. The trunk contained suitcases and boxes packed by the women.

A small stain on the passenger side of the car's front seat was identified as human blood, but officers said there were no signs of violence.

Fulton Assails Votes By GOP CHATTANOOGA (AP) The Republican Party "has more often than not a sweet tooth for the rich and sour taste for the poor," Rep. Richard Fulton, charged here Saturday night. Fulton criticized GOP Congressional votes against the Economic Opportunity Act, against Appalachian develop ment and against the Medicare bill in a speech at a lhird District Democratic rally, and urged his audience to unite to AUSTIN, Tex.

(AP) Two raven-haired beauties laughed and talked last Sunday over hamburgers in an eating place just off the University of Texas campus, then drove away in a yellow sports car. Susan Rigsby, 21, who planned to start summer school last Monday, and Shirley Ann Stark, also 21, a June graduate who gave her sorority sister a ride from Dallas to the campus, have not been located since. There have been no ransom notes or telephone calls, and no bodies found. Despite day and night searching by Austin police, Texas Rangers and state highway patrolmen, with FBI agents close by, only two firm clues have been found. Neither led to the two attractive would-be school teachers who vanished from a heavily traveled street in this capital city of 212,000.

"Usually there would be something by this time," said Police Lt. Joe Perry, head of the missing persons division. A woman psychic who has worked with the Department of Parapsychology at Duke University sat in a car owned by Miss Stark and said she believed that the two missing women would be found shortly but said "I don't know if they are alive." The psychic, who volunteered her services through the Associated Press to police and the families of the girls, said she believed three men were involved in the disappearance of the students. Texas State Police planes and National Guard helicopters searched and researched the Austin area. Friday the Department of Public Safety asked every property owner in the Austin area to make an inch-by-inch survey of their premises in hopes of finding some key to the baffling mystery.

Miss Rigsby, an English major with one more year at the university before getting a teacher's certificate, wore a green and white checked shift dress. Her black hair was cut short, with bangs, in a bouffant hairdo that accentuated her brown eyes and olive complex ion. "She's a jolly, happy girl who is very likeable and also strikingly beautiful," was the way a friend described her. Her mother said she frequently dated but had no steady boy friends.

(AP) An exotic raven-haired, beauty nicknamed "Pook" for fat Apasra Hongakula of Thailand was crowned Miss Universe for 1965 Saturday night. She nosed out the Finnish entrant, Virpi Miettinen of Helsinki, a blue-eyed blonde model who could assume the role of Miss Universe in case the winner cannot carry out her duties. Second runner-up was Miss U.S.A., 20-year-old Sue Ann Downey, of Columbus, Ohio. Sweden's blonde artist, Ingrid Norrman, was third runner-up, and Anna Schuit of Amsterdam, Holland, was fourth. The 18-year-old black-eved stu dent from Bangkok was one of the most popular contestants with 8,000 people watching the pageant in Miami Beach Audi torium.

Millions more watched on home television sets. "I never dreamed of this," said Apasra. She had been nervous and did not eat lunch before the final competition. Apasra is the first Miss Universe from Thailand and the first from her country to compete in this pageant in many years. Her parents, Col.

and Mrs. Perm Hongsakula, were in the audience. Her father is an officer in the Thai Royal Air Force. "Apasra was a fat baby," said her mother. "That's why we named her Pook." Apasra was instructed by Thailand's Queen Sirikit on how to act, how to walk and how to wear her hair before she came to the pageant.

"My queen will be very happy. I can't believe it all," said Apasra. Immediately following her crowning and queen's walk down a long runway, other contestants ran to her side with kisses and congratulations.
