Questions icill be answered in the Evening Globe and in the Sunday Globe Magazine. as Secretary of the Interior you will be responsible for protecting Indians and their lands?" "Are you gentlemen out of your minds0 Whoever heard of protecting Indians? If you ever hope to make more than 13 states out of this coun-trv, you're going to have to knock off the redskins, take their lands and THEN protect them." "Do you feel strongly about wildlife, too?" "Yes, sir.

I'm for shooting every wild animal in the United States. You're not going to get people to settle in the suburbs until you get rid of the buffaloes." "I'm afraid, Mr. Washington, the Secretary of Interior is responsible for protecting wildlife, particularly animals." "Boy, this isn't much of a cabinet job, is it? I'm willing to do -anything asked of me, but I'm telling you right now, gentlemen, I'm not going to buck the gu i vi coimtrv. The President is going to have to get himself another boy." "I can't see how my owning slaves would be in conflict with the Interior Department." "Well, it's possible that the Interior Department might want to buy slaves for its parks program. If you owned slaves the press might say that you were holding onto them to make a profit." "I could put my slaves in a trust, if you want me to, gentlemen, and let the Bank of Northern Virginia run my plantation while I'm Secretary." "That's not good enough, Mr.

Washington. As Secretary of the Interior you're going to have to be against the large plantation interests who will be wanting to grab more and more land for themselves." "I assure you I will not support the plantation interests, except where I feel we should develop plantations for the good of the economy." "How do you feel about Indians, Mr. Washington "1 say shoot tnem and be uonc with it." "Wait a minute. Don't you realize time, 'If you've seen one cherry tree, you've seen them all'." "That's all well and good, Mr. Washington, but as Secretary of the Interior you're going to be in charge of conservation.

It seems to me that chopping down a cherry tree doesn't exactly inspire confidence that you would be a strong protector of our woodlands." "I'd like to say, gentlemen, that I'm not for conservation just for conservation's sake. I mean, you can't expect to keep every cherry tree in this country. If you did you'd have a nation of cherry trees. When I chopped down the cherry tree, I was clearing the land in hopes somebody might use it for a turpentine factory. You're never going to have any private industry unless you take advantage of our natural resources." "Mr.

Washington, let's skip the cherry tree incident for a moment. You own quite a number of slaves-Would you be willing to sell your slaves so there would be no hint of conflict of interest?" WASHINGTON I can't help thinking how lucky it was for George Washington that he became our first President rather than our first Secretary of the Interior. As Secretary of the Interior he might never have made it. Imagine, if you will, the first meeting of the Senate Interior Committee of the first Congress: "Air. Washington, the President has nominated you as the nation's first Secretary of the Interior.

We'd like to ask you for your views on certain matters concerning conservation." "Yes, sir." "It has been reported in the press that when you were a boy you chopped down a cherry tree." "I never lied about that. I did chop down a cherry tree with a new ax my father bought me." "Why did you chop down the cherry tree?" "Well, as I said to my father at the My husband and his business partner bought the De Luco Florist Shop on Saybrook st. a few months ago. Customers are unable to iind the shop.

Did we ever have a black governor? If so, who was he? F.S., Canton. A Rep. Michael Haynes says that he was referring to Sir William Phips, first Royalist governor of Massachusetts. Our research neither proved nor disproved Haynes' statement. It is perhaps pertinent to note that racial discrimination was a product of the 18th and 19th centuries, after the time of Sir William.

house at 6 University Cambridge. He climbed the stairs to the fourth-floor apartment of his girl friend, Jane Britton, 23, of Need-ham, also a Harvard graduate anthropology major. He knocked on the door. There was no response. He went across the corridor to notify Jane's neighbors and close friends, Mr.

and Mrs. Don Mitchell. Humphries told them he was there to find out why Jane, a dedicated student, had not shown up for exams that morning. He had been with her the night before on a dinner date in Harvard sq. Humphries and the Mitchells went back to the girl's door.

They knocked again. Nothing. Then the three of them entered the door was unlocked. They found the petite daughter of J. Boyd Britton, administrative vice president of Radcliffe College, lying face down on her bed, her nightgown caught up around her waist.

She was dead. HEAD INJURY They called police and within minutes Cambridge detectives swarmed into the apartment. They observed that the girl had suffered a severe head injury. The medical examiner, Dr. Arthur McGovern, was summoned.

The body was removed to a funeral parlor where Dr. McGovern's autopsy showed that Jane had died of a "massive skull lac-eration" rem multiple blows with a sharp instrument. It was another murder a brutal, senseless bludgeon slaying. Many of. the detectives recalled immediately that the University rd.

apartment house was the scene in 1963 of the stab-murder of Beverly Samans, IDENTICAL TWINS, Terry and Tracy. (AP) Palmprints Put Finger on Twins Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Iliuce now can introduce their 6-month-old twin daughters by name. Terry and Tracy Bruce are identical.

Last week, a big dot of nail polish on Terry's toe washed off and "it was all guesswork" as to which twin was which. The Detroit Police Department took palmprints of the twins and had them compared to the ones taken at Hutzel Hospital, where the girls were born. The hospital then gave Mr. and Mrs. Bruce the word about who was who.

Pastore to Keep Voice Down Sen. John O. Pastore, says he is going to cool it in the shouting department on the indirect advice of President Nixon. Pastore, a small man with a big voice, was asked to raise his voice Wednesday while speaking in the Senate. "I can raise it," Pastore responded "But we heard a speech today in which we were told to keep it cool, to keep it in a r'hisper so that you can hear the words and not the noise.

The senator from Rhode Island from now on is going to keep it very cool." 26, a graduate student and musical therapist, who, like the Britton girl, lived alone. Police wasted no time. They went over the apartment with a fine-tooth comb. They found a bloodstained cigarette on an ash tray, indicating that the killer had smoked either during or immediately after the crime. They searched the area surrounding the apartment building complex which winds around two corners Mt.

Auburn st. and Bennett st. and they scoured the Bennett, st. M.B.T.A. yards.

Primarily they were looking for the weapon thought to be either a hatchet or a pick-head hammer. They found nothing. MANY QUESTIONED They questioned Humphries and the Mitchells at great length. They talked to Jane's classmates, to her professors to all they could find who knew her. Humphries and the Mitchell couple volunteered to take polygraph tests at State Police headquarters in an effort, police said, to clear up "minor discrepancies" in their accounts.

Two Harvard professors one who had Jane as a student and another who had dated her offered their help. Nothing broke no clues. Officer Michael Giacoppo, fingerprint expert, dusted every nook and cranny of the victim's apartment. He managed to isolate one set of prints, still unidentified. All of the others matched up with those of Jane, her friends, relatives, or neighbors who had routine access to her residence.

Middlesex Dist. Atty. John J. Droney commented: "We must assume this is a sex crime, and we cannot rule out the possibility that the slayer of Beverly Samans also killed the Britton girl." DeSALVO CLAIM The Samans girl's murder was attributed to self-styled Boston strangler Albert H. DeSalvo after he stated that he committed the crime, but there are many who do not believe he was responsible.

But the point is that there is no solid lead in the Jane Britton slaying. As one in- Will' tiie" Britton case van- ish into the limbo of other Greater Boston murders? It appears that way, but if it does it won't be because the Cambridge police haven't tried. 200 Protest Recruiting At Columbia United Frets International Vandalism by 200 students protesting Army and Air Force recruiters at Columbia University was followed by an announcement the Ivy League school would review the entire question of campus recruiting. In the first violence at Columbia since last Spring, militants organized by the Students for a Democratic Society gathered Monday outside the Casa Hispanica, the university's Spanish studies center where military recruiters were interviewing students. They stoned the building and two demonstrators were arrested.

They then marched on Dodge Hall, invaded the sixth floor placement office, broke windows and overturned bookcases. It was a "deliberate warning," to the university, according to one S.D.S. leader. Acting President Andrew W. Cordier said a special committee would study the school's policy of permitting recruiting on campus.

He said the study would be made because of a recent law limiting National Aeronautics and Space Administration aid to schools allowing recruiting. While San Francisco State College had one of its quietest days since a student strike was declared by two minority groups Nov. 6 acting President S. I. Hay-akawa met with the director of the Justice Department's National Institute of Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice.

Hayakawa said Dr. Ralph G. Siu, asked him questions like "what problems we had in common with students in Paris, Tokyo and other places of unrest?" "They were pretty darn hard to answer," Hayakawa said. But neither he nor Siu heading a Federal study into violence on the campus as part of a general study of campus outbreaks would say what the answers wrere. On campus, the Black Student Union and the Third World Liberation Front the two striking student, groups maintained small picket lines.

Italian Power! That's what a rabbi calls for in a tongue-in-cheek letter to the president of Adelphi University, where black students have been seeking more power.

Dr. Karl Applbaum, rabbi at a Jewish center in Barocklyn, foresees classes in Irish jigs, lunch hours with serenades in Yiddish and special days in honor of such Italian heroes as Garibaldi. "I really felt I wanted to speak out on this subject," Rabbi Applbaum said Monday. In the letter he asked for: Textbooks that read from right to left and kosher cafeterias; observance of Murphy Day, O'Brien Day and several other holidays for the Irish; Italian dancing classes and Italian music. Rabbi Applbaum, 59, president of the Long Island chapter of the Association of the United States Army, said his letter to Dr.

Robert Olmsted of the Long Island university was sent to demonstrate the deterioration of American universities. He said there ought to be a "white curriculum" with "courses in political science, history, sociology, education, Hebrew language, Yiddish, Italian including all the variations, Irish brogue, English, Philosophy, art, Israeli dances, Irish jigs and Italian dances." Jewish, Irish and Italian instructors ought to be hired to teach the curriculum, Rabbi Applbaum wrote, with hiring "not on the basis of qualifications but purely on the basis of religion and national origin." The rabbi said that unless his requests were honored within 10 days, Jewish students would join with "blacks, Italians, Irish, French, Russians, German, Austrian and Polish" to "march seven times around the buildings of the university" blowing the Ram's Horn. "The walls of Adelphi will collapse as did the walls of Jericho. The students advise me that they have a commitment from Israeli Gen Moshe Dayan that he would lead the march."
