Rideau of Lake Charles on a charge of nurclcr. The trial was to reconvene today after prospective jurors were in and out of the courtroom for 12 hours Monday.

Court recessed at 10:10 p.m. Monday. Much of the first day was consumed with defense motions, one which raised a question never raised in the previous appeal of Ridcau's 1961 conviction. A prime ruling of the court came when the defense moved to quash the indictment in which Rideau was charged by a Calcasieu Parish Grand Jury with three kidnap- ing and armed robbery. Dist.

Judge Elmo Lear overruled the motion, but not until considerable argument among attorneys in a different courtroom from that in which the prospective jurors waited. As a result, the indictment was physically changed with a grease pencil being used to strike from the grand jury indictment the "cpunts" concerned with kidnaping and armed robbery. A white piece of paper was pasted over these charges and Judge Lear held this was proper though he told the lawyers he was uncertain whether it was proper. But the judge said a district attorney can nolle prosse charges if he desires, A defense attorney argued the alteration of the indictment didn't constitute nolle prosse of charges, but actual physical change In the grand jury indictment to suit the purposes of the district attorney. The amended indictmenl leaves Rideau charged only with murder of Mrs.

These would include election of Alex Quaison-Sackey of Ghana as president and perhaps of the 13 vice presidents, and the admission of Malwai, Malta and Zambia to membership. the assembly would recess lor a day or two to allow more time for negotiations on the financial issue.

This would forestall a formal vote on which the I'nited States could invoke Article 19 of the U.N. Charter. It provides that a N. member more than two years in arrears on its dues shall lose its in ihe assembly. The Soviet Union's refusal to pay peacekeeping assessments has put it, in that category.

Inf'iniH'd sources doubted the United States would agree to the brief postponement. They said the United States wants a longer delerral of the matter and also a Soviet commitment to negotiate on iuiure peacekeeping arrangements. Truck Driver Hurt in Crash Hear Singer DERIDDER (Spl.)

The charge is confined only to murder under Section I of the murder law, and not to that part of the law which defines murder in connection with commission of a felony. After the indictment was altered, Rideau was rearraigned over objections of the defense lawyers. He pleaded innnocent and innnocent by reason of insanity. In questioning prospective jurors, Dist.

Ally. Sargent Pitcher Jr. and Lake Charles Dist. Ally. Frank Sailer made it clear they will be seeking the death penalty.

The defense made it clear they were seeking jurors who are not biased against insane persons. It also questioned jurors on bias regarding race. The six jurors left after the flurry of challenges at the end of the night session include Ramon E. Ydarraga, Dr. James B.

Zachary, Fred 0. Miller, William H. Davis Peter James Klover and Roy L. Moran. Eleven men, one a Negro, were seated in the jury box when court recessed.

However, five were under challenge by either the state or the defense. The three defense challenges include the Negro, Herman Raby. When the defense excused Raby on a pre-emplory challenge one in which no cause is given Pitcher jumped to his feet to ask that the minutes "reflect that Mr. Raby is a member of the Negro race." Elven Ponder, one of the court appointed defense lawyers, objected to the district attorney's remarks and asked that they be incorporated in the record. Judge Lear sustained the objection, and it was clear the comments will be part of the record, already filled with exceptions to court rulings during the first day's proceedings.

J719 1st St. LEOPOLDVILLE, the Congo mercenaries have rescued from 155 to 160 rebel hostages in a cotton-growing region about 260 miles north of Stanleyville, a Belgian Embassy spokesman said today. The report came as the rebels fought back in Stanleyville, the fallen insurgent capita! seized a week ago. The airport was closed by rebel fire and most of the city was reported in rebel hands. A fourth American missionary was reported slain by the rebels McChesney, 28, Phoenix, Ariz.

His parents in Phoenix said they had received reports from his organization, the World Wide Evangelical Crusade, that he was killed at Wamba.

Most of these were said to be Belgians. Congolese government troops, led by 30 white mercenaries, captured the town of Bunia 1 Monday, north of Stanleyville, where several hundred white 'hostages were believed held.

i None was found. It was be- Jieved they had been taken farther north bv the rebels. By GuSf R.
