Galuao Urged to Transfer Captive Liner's Passengers BULLETIN WASHINGTON (AP) The White House said today President Kennedy has received a message from Gen.

Early this morning, a shadow. ing Navy plane reported the Santa Maria at 5 degrees north latitude, 36 degrees and 50 minutes west longitude, still on a southeasterly course in the direction of Africa.

The U.S. destroyer Wilson set out immediately from the Caribbean for Belem in the hope that Galvao would accept the American proposal. The Wilson is due to reach the mouth of the Amazon Sunday. Galvao told the U.S. Navy pilot who first located him Wednesday that he was bound for Angola, rich Portuguese colony on the southwest African coast.

It was believed that he and his band of 70 who seized the ship hoped to set off an uprising in Angola against the Salazar regime. There was speculation Galvao might try to land the passengers in Dakar, capital of Senagal; Guinea or Ghana, where the newly independent governments could be expected to aid him against the Portuguese colonial administration.

(AP) -Howard Lowery, 23, an accused slayer, was captured early without resistance several hours after the youth who freed him from jail at gunpoint was recaptured. Two highway patrol lieutenants -R.

E. Frusher and Sid Berrycaught Lowery in southwest Oklahoma City. Captured earlier in the same area was Mike Marks, 18, El Reno, as he fled on foot from the pair's stolen getaway car. Lowery is charged with murder in the hitchhike slaying last summer near Yukon. of Dan W.

Sims, 28, of Worthington, Pa. The patrol said Lowery still had a gun and also money taken from a filling station holdup earlier. Marks was jailed in Oklahoma City while Lowery was returned to the Yukon jail. Marks and Lowery had eluded highway patrol roadblocks for some six hours before they were spotted near Will Rogers Airport at the southeast edge of Oklahoma City shortly after midnight. The getaway car crashed into a telephone pole and the two men jumped out and fled on foot.

Marks was caught on an airport runway. He offered no resistance. Dale Hise, 20-year old Oklahoma City service station attendant, was in the wrecked car. He said Marks and Lowery abducted him after robbing him of $40 at the service station in northwest Oklahoma City where he works. Marks was released from the Canadian County jail at El Reno, Thursday after serving a sentence for carrying a concealed weapon.

He returned Thursday night and asked to be allowed to sleep in the jail. Rowe said as he was searching Marks, he pulled a gun and demanded the keys. After releasing Lowery, Rowe said, the two forced jail inmate G. R. Deason, a Texan serving a term for burglary, to go with them.

Deason later was pushed out of the fugitives' south of El Reno, about 30 miles west of Oklahoma City, called officers and was back in jail a short time later. Solon Favors Snow and Ice Tax Refund to Paralyzes Aid Schools South, East WASHINGTON (AP)-Sen. Barry Goldwater, says he will introduce a bill to turn back to the people three or four billion dollars in tax money to be used locally to improve schools. He hasn't worked out the details, Goldwater said in a television debate on CBS "Face the Nation" with Sen. Eugene J.

McCarthy, but there would be no requirement that the returned tax money must be used for education. He said it was his hope that a taxpayer, having received for example a $100 tax rebate, might be more inclined to vote for local school bond issues. Goldwater, a leading GOP servative, and McCarthy, a Democratic liberal, debated the question "Does a Big Federal Government Threaten our Freedom?" It was held in the old Supreme Court chamber in the Capitol without audience or a panel of questioners. Condition Of Mr. Berry 'Fair' Condition of M.

Marion A. Smith, 44 Ewing when she reported for duty as she does daily at that hour. According to Mrs. Smith, Mr. Berry told her he had gotten out of bed and had fallen at 3 a.m.

and was unable to get up. He was removed to the hospital in Ware's ambulance. "Fortunately, Mr. Berry, didn't suffer any fractured bones, but he complained of being cold after lying on the floor for 12 hours," commented Mrs. Smith Friday.

His son, John, a student at the University of Cincinnati, will arrive here during the weekend.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP)The U.S. Navy appealed again Thursday night to the rebel commander of the Santa Maria to free the captive liner's 588 passengers on this side of the Atlantic and offered to remove them at sea off the Brazilian port of Belem. Adm. Robert L. Dennison, commander of the U.S.

Atlantic Fleet, broadcast his appeal as the cruise ship commandeered by enemies of Portugal's dictator, Antonio de Oliveiria Salazar still sped toward West Africa but along a southeasterly course paralleling the northeast coast of Brazil. The Santa Maria Thursday night was 750 miles northeast of Belem. Dennison called on the rebel leader, Henrique M. Galvao, to change his course and proceed toward Belem, at the mouth of the Amazon River, to discharge the liner's passengers. Among them are 42 Americans.

"Am sure you agree it best (to) accomplish transfer (of passengers) as possible on this side of Atlantic," Dennison said. "If this agreeable to you will have U.S. Navy ship meet you off port to assist in transfer of passengers if necessary." The U. S. task force of four destroyers and 18 planes chasing the runaway cruise ship are under direct orders from President Kennedy not to force a boarding of the liner even though Salazar has denounced Galvao and his men as pirates.

Dennison's message came after Galvao, demanding to be treated as a "politician fighting for the FLORAL ARRANGEMENTS For Funerals GRAY'S 22 W.

Main told police Thursday that he was turning from Renick Avenue onto Akron Street when the auto skidded and hit a picket fence. Officers said the fence was owned by Robert Schrader, 66 S. Renick Ave.

There was moderate damage to the auto. A vast snow and ice storm dealt crippling blows to the South and East today as winter's longest stretch of severe weather held fast over most of the eastern twothirds of the nation. The violent weather, which closed hundreds of schools, curtailed highway and air travel and disrupted electric service, was blamed for at least 48 deaths. Most of the fatalities were in traffic accidents on ice-slicked highways, exposure and heart attacks. Texas alone counted 17 stormrelated deaths.

There were 12 in West Virginia; 6 in Indiana: 5 in Louisiana; 3 in Georgia; 2 in South Carolina and 1 each in Tennessee, Oklahoma and Washing. ton, D.C. Snow depth up to a half foot fell in Maryland, and nearly that amount piled up on top of last week's heavy snow in many areas. The falls, however, were not as heavy as last week's storm which dumped more than feet of snow in parts of Pennsylvania. Schools were closed through much of the Southern storm belt Thursday and police closed many roads in the Carolinas, Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, Arkansas and Virginia.

Most schools remained closed in the Washington, D.C., area, hit by a six-inch snowfall, and in 60 of the 97 counties in Virginia. State Truck and Auto in Clash State truck and an auto were involved in an accident just north of the Ross-Pike line at 3:25 p.m. Thursday, according to the state patrol. The truck, driven north by Paul T. Barker, 39, of Waverly, Route 2, signaled for a left turn and, while waiting for traffic, was struck by the auto of Stanley Hendricks, 37, Bainbridge, Route 1.

Mr. Hendricks applied his brakes and slid into the truck, the patrol said. Mr. Hendricks was cited to Municipal Court on Feb. 3 on a charge of failure to stop within an assured clear distance.

There was minor damage to both vehicles, but no one was injured.
