Another Klansman Won't Talk WASHINGTON (AP) House investigators tried to light a fire under reluctant Klan Dragon James Robert Jones today by producing some of the records he had refused to turn over income tax returns.

But Jones, the North Carolina dragon, remained reluctant to talk and kept silent under sharp questioning about whether he had been reimbursed by the United Klans of America for deductions he had claimed such as the cost of robes. In declining to answer questions, he cited constitutional protections against self incrimination. Jones' lawyer, Lester V. Chalmers told the committee, "That's the reason we didn't bring tax returns up here, because we were well aware that these returns were available to you." "That's for the birds," snapped Chairman Edwin E. Willis of the House Committee on Un-American Activities.

Under questioning, Jones declined to say whether he had (See KLAN, Page A8) That Wednesday settlement of a dispute between the musicians union and symphony orchestra management came just in the nick of time to avert a strike.

"He stated he had parked his 1965 Buick Special around the Capitol grounds this morning By GLEN CASTLEBURY Staff Writer In a surprise move Thursday, Mayor Lester Palmer called on the City Council to be "ready next week," to discuss procedures for setting up a Human Relations Commission." Palmer's unexpected request marked the first time since last spring, that establishment of a Human Relations Commission for Austin has been brought up in open council session. Following completion of a routine agenda, Palmer said: "While we are trying to settle a lot of things, I would like to ask if the council could be prepared next week to discuss procedures for setting up a Human Relations Commission." Councilwoman Emma Long, without explaining her remarks, said: "I have serious doubts." Palmer then reiterated his request, this time asking council members to "prepare ourselves to be ready to discuss this in detail." Councilmen Travis LaRue and Ben White had no comment to make on the mayor's request. Mayor Pro Tern Louis Shanks is out of town.

Palmer later told a reporter for The Austin Statesman that a form for procedure by which complaints could be filed under the Federal Civil Rights Act of 1964, had been worked out. assume anyone from Austin is a personal friend of the President and lives on Lake Lyndon B.

This is how Patrolman Jim Barclay spins the yarn: About 1 p.m. Wednesday police received a report of a 1965 model Chevrolet Impala missing from a state parking lot ne the John Reagan Building.

In a stolen car report filed with the criminal investigation division, the owner said he parked hi car about 9:30 a.m. and discovered it was gone at 1:45 p.m. At 8:20 p.m. the author called police headquarters from his home to report a "suspicious car" parked in his driveway.

Morrissey's nomination for a federal judgeship was sent back to the Senate Judiciary Committee today at the request of Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass. This appeared to kill the nomination for this session of Congress, but President Johnson could resubmit it at the next session in January.

Kennedy's surprise request that the nomination go back to the Judiciary Committee came at the end of an emotional speech in which he highly praised Morrissey, an old friend and supporter of the Kennedy family. Johnson could give Morrissey a recess appointment to the U.S. District Court in Massachusetts after Congress adjourns. Should he take it, Morrissey would have to give up his present Boston Municipal Court judgeship. Kennedy, his voice breaking and on the verge of tears as he described the hardships of Morrissey's early years, said much of the controversy over the nomination concerned events so remote in time and obscure in place that understandable confusion has arisen among those who have not been following it closely.

"If senators have any questions at all they should have the chance to air them fully," he said, "and seek the answers through the proven process of our committee system." the President of your country is mighty proud of you," Johnson told the men. The President also took the occasion to thank all the doctors, nurses and aides "in this wonderful hospital" for the care given him and also to the other patients. As he walked to his car in the sunshine, some of the patients called to the President from second and third-floor windows. "Take care of yourself!" one yelled.

Kennedy told the Senate he is satisfied that a full record will result in Morrissey's confirmation "by a greatly increased Hullum Goes to The R. C. Hullum Jr. theft case was placed in the hands of a County Court-at-Law No. 2 jury during the noon hour Thursday.

The jury of four men and two women got the case after more than two hours of final arguments by prosecution and defense attorneys midway in the fourth day of trial. Judge David McAngus overruled a motion for instructed verdict of innocence filed by Defense Attorneys Warren McKen-ney and Tom Higgins for the former sheriff's lieutenant. The not guilty ruling was sought on grounds that no evidence was presented to show any guilt of Hullum and that the indictment alleged an offense on May 24 whereas all financial transactions were made on May 1 and May 5. County Attorney Wallace Shropshire opposed the motion. Hullum was indicted on a charge of theft of $10 by false pretext from Mrs.

J. E. Wim-berley, 210 Mockingbird Lane. Hullum, then with Central Investigation Agency but now a private investigator in a firm with Ken Wilson, conducted an investigation in April for Mrs. Wimberley, who sought his help in freeing her two 15 and 16-year-old sons from the Travis County Juvenile Home.

The boys were arrested during a burglary investigation. Hullum testified that any payments made by Mrs. Wimberley went to the CIA. His testimony owned a transmission repair shop here. The answers to the complaint by Gann and Herbert took issue with Overton's ownership claims by alleging that he does not actually operate the garage himself.

The two officers also alleged that the repair shop afforded Overton only a minor part of his income. The two officers further alleged in their answers that the apartment at 3314 Westhill Drive was only a parttime residence for Overton and not actually a heme. Johnson Quits Naval Hospital Heretic?

DAU President Morton Plotsky of Jack Morton's said he would ask Austin National Bank Vice President Joe Wells, DAU redevelopment chairman, for a conference to see if the downtowners could help stimulate new or further action on the overall Jackson plan affecting the area from Fifth Street to the Colorado River. Hints of some success along this line have been heard. Levine's John Minor urged the group do something to start this private redevelopment proj- "The charge is ridiculous.

"They Last Try Planned By Wilson LONDON (AP) Prime Minister Harold Wilson announced today he will fly to Rhodesia this week in a last-ditch effort to find a solution to the crisis over that African colony's demand for independence.

Wilson, will go to Salisbury with Commonwealth Secretary Arthur Bottomley for talks with Prime Minister Ian Smith in an effort to break the deadlock between the two governments. Wilson told Smith, in a message delivered this afternoon, that he expected to have the opportunity also to talk with "anyone whose view I feel to be relevant to a solution of this grave problem." "I earnestly hope that you will cooperate with what I have in mind in the spirit in which I propose it," Wilson added. This apparently meant the British prime minister also planned to talk with African nationalist leaders, most of whom either are in prison or in enforced detention. Smith refused earlier this year to let Bottomley talk with them. Wilson said he would leave for Salisbury Friday or Saturday.

The dispute derives from a bid for independence by the white government of Rhodesia. Britain has refused to sanction Independence for the central African colony until the Negro African majority there receives more political power.

(AP) -Three ministers, charged with falsely dating marriage certificates in an evade-the-draft rush to the altar, say they'll fight legal actions against them. The three are the Revs. Minnie Orcutt, Opal Boetler and Harold Reyman, who operate wedding chapels in this state capital. They are under order to show cause in District Court Monday why their certificates to perform marriages should not be revoked.

Specific complaints charge seven marriage licenses signed by the ministers were issued Aug. 27 but dated Aug. 28. President Johnson had announced Aug. 26 that eligible men married after that date would not be exempt from the draft.

Mrs. Orcutt, The attorney for ex-convict Tim Overton filed 109 questions Thursday in Federal Court to be asked City Detective Tommy Allen in connection with a civil rights damage suit against two top Austin police officers.

Overton, 25, is suing Major K.
