2 KOKOMO (Ind.) TRIBUNE Monday, April 11, 1966 Premier Ky (Continued from Page One) against light government casualties. Heavy casualties were reported among the five or six U.S. Special Forces men "Green the camp. U.S. planes kept up their daily bombardments of North Viet Nam Monday, but the number of missions in the South was down from the usual figure of 450 to 500 to about 300.

Relible sources attributed the curtailment to a temporary shortage of bombs and other explosives resulting from a transportation problem. They said U.S. officials hope to overcome the shortage quickly. While an interlude of calm prevailed in Saigon's streets Easter Sunday, there were signs of a lessening of tension in Da Nang, where anti-Ky military officers virtually declared their independence of the government last week. Some of the 1,000 American civilians and military personnel evacuated Saturday from Da Nang because of the danger of fighting between antigovernment and loyalist troops began returning to the northern city today.

The mayor of Da Nang, Dr. Nguyen Van Man, who had been threatened with execution by Premier Ky, said: "All the people and the military want a civilian government as soon as possible. We will work to this end. We -need the Americans to help us." Dr. Man said he still regarded himself as mayor, even though Ky has named a replacement.

"No one has informed me I am fired," he said. He indicated that Ky's government had decided to back down on its threat to occupy the city, headquarters of the army's northernmost 1st Corps, with military force. It was Ky's dismissal of Lt. Gen. Nguyen Chanh Thi as commander of the 1st Corps and virtual overlord of the country's five "northern provinces March 10 that precipitated the nationwide unrest.

The new 1st Corps commander, Maj. Gen. Thon That Dinh, said earlier the troops were not needed to restore order. Some barricades in the city started going The atmosphere also was momentarily more relaxed in Hue, another center of Buddhist-led unrest Only a handful of American and other foreign newsmen in the old imperial capital, which like Da was placed off limits to U.S. military personnel three weeks ago.

Radio Hue, now in the hands of an antigovernment student "Struggle Committee," eau- tioned Americans in an English language broadcast Sunday to remember they are guests and not hosts in South Viet Nam. The broadcast urged the United States not to use its "material might and terrible weapons" to support Ky's regime.

There was no comment, either, on demonstrations by about 50 pickets who staged an Easter vigil outside the LBJ Ranch Sunday to protest the war in Viet Nam. Their three-hour demonstration drew a crowd of spectators. Among the cars driving slowly by was a blue convertible in which the President's daughter Luci, 18, and her fiance; Patrick J. Nugent, 22, Waukegan, 111., were traveling on their way for an afternoon of boating at nearby L'ake Lyndon B.

High Court Rules Against Arnold Hobbs INDIANAPOLIS (AP) Tlv U.S. Supreme Court today re fused to review an Indiana Su preme Court decision that con victed embezzler Arnold Hobbs, 40, who was erroneously freed from prison in December 1963.

The ruling leaves the' way open for efforts to return Hobb to prison. Hobbs, former manager the Noble County Credit Union at Albion, was sentenced to IS years imprisonment June 2, 195S following an embezzlement nearly S2 million of credit unioi funds. He served only 4J4 years o. the sentence when La Porte Circuit Judge Alban M. Smith ruled Hobbs should be freed on a.

writ of habeas corpus. Hobbs was rearrested by Al len authorities 01 grounds the original indictmen was valid but he posted bond pending a State Supreme Court hearing and never returned to prison. The state high court decision of June 24, 1965, was written by Judge Norman F. Arterburn, who said a written agreement made by Hobbs a.nd his attorney to accept the 15-year sentence provided 11 other 'pending charges against him were dropped was binding. The state court held Hobb: and his lawyer could not enter into such an agreement and then repudiate it after the statute of limitations had run oul on all the charges.

Hobbs and his lawyer contended in the later habeas corpus action that the sentence was improper and should have been 2-20 years. The court, held the La Porte Circuit Court, erred in freeing Hobbs Warden Ward Lane of the Indiana State Prison could have him returned on a fugitive warrant. Hobbs left the state and is now believed living in Texas, the fugitive warrant remains in effect.

PALMER LONDON (AP) One Greek loaded with oil for Rhodesia finally docked at the Mozambique port of Beira today while another headed for South Africa after the British Navy diverted her from Beira. The Joanna carrying 18,700 tons of oil, pulled into an offloading berth at the docks from the anchorage two miles out where she had stayed since last Tuesday, the South African Press Association reported. The Joanna's agents in Beira said she had docked only to facilitate repairing her propellers. But Beira shipping sources said the tanker would have to unload some of her oil cargo to. raise the ship higher in the water for the repairs.

They did not say what might happen to the offloaded oil. The ship's captain, George Vardino- has said he plans to leave Beira with his oil cargo. Another tanker, the Manuela, steamed toward Durban after the British navy withdrew the armed boarding party that had diverted the ship and its 16,000 tons of oil from Portuguese Mozambique. "Surveillance of the Manuela is being maintained by air for the time being," tile British Defense Ministry said. The boarding party seized the tanker about 150 miles southeast of Beira Sunday, acting under a U.N.

Security Council resolution authorizing Britain to use if necessary to block the flow of oil through Beira to the rebellious white minority regime in Rhodesia. If the Manuela unloads her cargo, at Durban, about 750 miles southwest of Beira, Rhodesia presumably could still get the oil but it would take longer. South Africa's white minority government has permitted private companies to provide Rhodesia with enough oil by truck and train to sustain essential services during the British embargo. Pressure is mounting in the U.N. for sanctions to be applied to South Africa if more oil flows over the border to Rhodesia.
