MONDAy TO IN RCEESCS COUNTY LUMBERTON, N. TUESDAY, OCTOBER 15,.1963 Scotland, Richmond, Robeson 3 Counties Join Forces To Work Under NC Fund Robeson County participation In a 3-county application North Carolina Fund aid was proposed last night at St. Andrews College in Laurinburg. Three Robeson citizens were named to a temporary steering committee: Dr. Louis LaMotte and the Rev.

R. C. Scriven of Maxton, Dr. H. G.

Oxendine of Pembroke. The proposal was that Scotland, Richmond and Robeson counties join in an application for an area project or projects, using the administrative facilities of St. Andrews College, which were offered. The N. C.

Fund, to which application would be made, recently announced having million available in grants for an effort to "break the cycle of poverty" in this state. Twenty Robeson citizens, most of them from the western part of the county, attended the meeting and held a separate group session to pick the temporary steering committee members. Similar committeemen were named by other county groups: for Richmond Calvin Lyles, John Gore, Robt. L. Diggs; for Scotland 0.

L. Moore Charles vVentz, W. L. Baker. The Robeson group meeting was conducted by B.

E. Littlefield of Lumberton, had pointed out in the general session that the members of the group did not presume to speak for this county before consulting other Robeson citizens. Immediate function of the steering com- a mittee members is to "act as a liaison group for communication among the three counties. Dr. LaMotte agreed to represent the.

Robeson group with the understanding he may have to resign from the committee if his duties with St. Andrews College include work on the N. C. Fund proposal on an over all, 3- county basis. In support of a tri-county application, he expressed the opinion that the fund administrators want comparatively large project areas, for administrative purposes.

He stated his understanding that 10 such areas would be designated in the state. In the general session presided over by Dr. Ansley C. Moore, president ef St. Andrews, it was stated that 3 counties along the Virginia border are preparing an area application.

The kinci of projects sought by the Fund directors described a "fresh, original and comprehensive." The hi county meeting was called by Dr. Moore. In letters of invitation he stated that the governor's advisors a Richmond, Scotland and Robeson counties together on a tentative map, and that it was expected area colleges would be used as "resources" in the Fund program.

Too NEW YORK (Ap)-The; parents and sister of an American lieutenant killed in South Vietnam called today on Mrs. Ngo Dinh Nhu, the controversial First Lady of that land.

Mr. and Mrs. William Cramer and their daughter, Nancy, 19, of Wantagh on Long Island, visited Mrs. Nhu in her hotel suite at -her invitation. They spent about a halfhour together.

"It was mainly Mrs. Nhu expressing her sympathy to us over the loss of our son," said Cramer, an employe of the Federal Aviation Agency. Addressing a Harvard audience Monday, Mrs. Nhu, sister- in law of South Vietnamese President Ngo Dinh Diem said that Diem's request for the United States to reduce its per- sonnel in Saigon brought instead 3,000 more Americans there. Diem sought only to cut the expense of the war against Communist guerrillas, she said, and she was amazed when it was interpreted by some Americans as a "kind of America-go- home campaign." "Americans bring their houses on their backs.

Nhu ignored the 1 hecklers. Senate Tackles Foreign Aid; Program Is Due For Trouble and Senate were expected to begin debate today on the Sanford administration's Senate redistricting bill which bears the signatures of majorities of both houses. There was a possibility an amendment would be offered to propose changes in the state constitution's provisions on Senate redistricting. Sen. Staton Williams of Stan- Iy, a leader of rural forces, said Monday meetings were being held to develop one.

Gov. Sanford, who addressed the special legislative shortly after it convened Monday, scored a major victory in effect, bypass sending the redistricting bill to a small committee. Each house will consider the bill as a committee of the whole. This was regarded as a move toward easing the way for the measure's approval. Twenty-eight senators and 75 house members signed the legislation.

Some lawmakers were predicting the session could end by mid-week. Not since 1941 has the legislature enacted a Senate redistricting bill and it was a a No major changes have been made since' 1921.

The court did not comment on the more basic issue of whether During the past two weeks Sanford's aides sought to line up support for an amendment to revamp the legislature along the lines of Congress.

It proposed to reduce the House membership from 120 to 100 and increase the Senate from 50 up to 70. Stiff opposition developed to this and the issue subsided. Sanford told the joint session some constitutional amendment would be justified. But, he added, "We cannot let our desire to improve it prevent us from following our clear and present duty under the present constitution." The governor said he did not know whether a constitutional amendment to propose changes in the constitution's provisions on redistricting can gain the necessary three-fifths vote in both houses. Under the administration bill, heavily populated Mecklenburg County would be given three senators and Guilford and Forsyth two each.

They now have one each. Onslow and Cumberland would have a fulltime senator each. The Republicans also offered a redistricting bill in the House, but they conceded it has little chance of passage. Under the Republican bill, introduced by Rep. Hardy Carroll of Guiiford, Guilford and Mecklenburg would be given three senators each.

The two measures are vastly different in the way they would align counties into districts. Florida Asks Help Against Gangsters WASHINGTON probers heard testimony today of Mafia terrorism in central Florida's gay playland killing and racketeering too carefully managed by a national crime syndicate for any local police force to crush. Police Chief Neil G. Brown of Tampa told the Senate Investi- gations subcommittee there have been 23 "gangland slayings" in the Tampa area since 1928, only one of them solved. Brown said the killings show "how the Mafia uses murder to discipline its membership, to revenge itself against violators of its code and to otherwise eliminate opposition to its crim- Dillon Plugs For Tax Cut Before Senate Commilte WASHINGTON (AP) Secretary of the Treasury Douglas Dillon began the job today of selling President Kennedy's tax cut package to what may be the toughest customer on Capitol Hill--Sen.

Harry F. Byrd and his Senate Finance Committee. After waiting through 20 days of closed hearings, Dillon appeared today with a thick sheaf of facts and figures that stressed a need for urgency in approving the $11 billion reduction this year. His comments were in a prepared statement. If the bill becomes fully effective, it would remove 1.5 million low-income families from the tax rolls, and mean cuts of $100 for four-person families earning $5,000 a year, $202 for a similar family with a $10,000 a year income, 51,004 for a $30,000 a year family, and $5,278 for a family.

Brewer, Burch Lose Appeals WASHINGTON preme Court Monday dismissed for lack of action an appeal from a North Carolina conviction in a highway sign scandal. The i i a apparently means that Kidd Brewer, Raleigh businessman, and Robert A. Burch, a former North Carolina highway engineer, must serve prison sentences imposed in Superior Court in Raleigh. The two were convicted in 1962 of influence peddling in state highway sign purchases for the interstate highway system. The Supreme Court said there was a lack of substantial action involving the federal government to warrant a hearing by the justice.

Superior Court Judge Raymond B. Mallard sentenced Brewer and Burch to 18-month sentences. Administration officials want the tax cut to be passed and adding more money to take- home pay by January's checks. There's deep concern among them that a delay in the Finance Committee will bury the tax cut for this year under the dusc of the forthcoming Senate battle over civil rights legislation.

Of 145 homicides other than gang killings between 1958 and the end of 1962, he said, only four remain unsolved, and every homicide in the 1900-02 period has been solved. Brown appealed for federal help for the police of all states and cities in the war on organized crime in which, he said, there are too many frustrations now. He urged Congress (o legalize police a i of telephone lines, provide federal grants Id help finance the training of local police specialists in gang- busting techniques, and create a "national clearing house for criminal to help all police agencies coordinate efforts. Brown's testimony started the final scheduled week of hearings following up testimony by mobster Joseph Valachi.
