"I'll kill all of you," the gunman shouted, waving the gun at di Portanova and two women guests, Mrs. Gloria King and Mrs. Norma Clark, who were helping the oilman plan a dinner party.

"Don't hurt them," di Portanova recalled saying. "I'll do anything you want as long as you -don't kill these peo ple." -The gunman handcuffed the women together on a bedroom floor and then, with his pistol to di Portanova's head, forced the oilman to empty two safes of $340 and some jewelry of little value. "He seemed disappointed," di Portanova told police. After 45 minutes, the gunman handcuffed di Portanova and fled, leaving the handcuff keys on a kitchen table and, as promised, calling an ambulance for Necci. Mrs.

Marian Rosen, lawyer and neighbor, came to the house shortly after police, stayed several hours and refused to discuss the case with newsmen. Police were similarly silent about details, saying they had not determined Need's hometown in Italy and did not intend to. Neighbors said the youth" sent money back to Italy to help support his parents. Aside from the horses, he was responsible for he oilman's pet snake, parakeet and white mice. Police said Mrs.

King, who arrived just before Necci was shot, saw a late-model, bronze fastback car parked outside the gates of the estate. She said it still bore the dealer's cost sheet in the side window. Police said late Saturday night they had arrested no suspect. Di Portanova, who recently returned from a Rome visit, told police he had no enemies and did not know why he should be singled out for a robbery. Di Portanova is grandson of the late Hugh Roy Cullen, Houston millionaire oilman and philanthropist.

A-quick-tempered gunman struck Saturday at the mansion of a noble-born Italian-, American oilman, killing a' 20-year-old stable boy and terrorizing the magnate and two women friends for 45 minutes. It happened on the walled and wooded two-acre estate of Enrico di Portanova, 41, born to the title Baron di Portanova but for the last five years a resident of Houston, where he spent most of his youth. He is an American citizen. The dead groomsman was Franco Necci, who came to the United States less than eight months ago from his native Italy to tend the baron's horses and other pets. Necci was shot jn the right chest when he encountered the gunman in the garage of the big one-story home.

Homicide Detective a 1 Nix said Necci ran inside to the living room, where he dropped dead on a hearth at his master's feet. Police said the youth may have been shot because he did not understand 'Berkeley East' Label Protested NEW YORK (AP) The president of Brooklyn College said Saturday night he walked -out on a campus appearance JbjL Mayor John V. Lindsay as a "non-violent protest over the mayor's calling the College "Berkeley East." At a Brooklyn College Alumni Association reunion, College President Francis P. Kilcoyne reported to some 500 guests on disorders at the college 10 days ago stemming from a protest against Navy recruiters on campus. Referring to the mayor's appearance on the campus Friday, Kilcoyne said: "I take exception to his affixing the label 'Berkeley East' to the college, especially after say-he had asked for a report and would study it when it arrived.

"My departure from the platform was my form of nonviolent protest against the remark. I just don't like labels, especially when this one does not apply to 25,000 students.

admiral's report that this country is building its first aircraft carrier indicates a long range plan to roam the seven seas instead of keeping its navy under cover of land based warplanes. A symbol of Soviet strength with mobile political uses is the Soviet navy squadron now cruising the Mediterranean, once the private pond of the U.S. 6th Fleet. So far the Mediterranean is the only place where the new Soviet potential has been turned into an actual political influence. At a tense moment along the Suez Canal after the Middle East war in June, the squadron commander offered "to cooperate with Egyptian, armed forces to repel any aggression." i political gesture was not followed by any Soviet militaiy action, although Soviet made naval weapons have been important to Arab nations and were used to sink the Israeli destroyer Hath Oct 21 Other symbols of mobile Soviet strength are the massive, long range troop transports of the Soviet air force.

This is a separate league from military striking power.

The Soviet Union is close behind the United States in the ability to rain nuclear destruction on any part of the world. The problem for the Kremlin has been the limitations of its home based intercontinental missiles, polaris type missiles niKJear submarine and long range bombers. They cannot be used in anything short of a nuclear showdown. In the last decade, the United States has landed Marines in Lebanon, dropped paratroopers in the Congo, poured troops into the Dominican Republic, patrolled the strait between Communist and Nationalist China, and otherwise used its mobility. The limitations of Soviet power became acutely apparent to Kremlin leaders during the 1962 Cuban missile crisis.

Agreement Kenya War ARUSH, Tanzania (AP) -Kenya and Somalia announced Saturday an agreement aimed at ending their four-year border war in which nearly 3,000 have died, would be signed. Kenya and Somalia agreed to end destruction of human life and property, to halt hostile propaganda, susp nt emergency regulationsi m-posed by both sides because of the dispute and to begin establishing diplomatic relations. Included in the agreement are consideration of measures to encourage development of economic and trade relations and appointment of a working committee comprising Kenya, Somalia and Zambia to meet periodically to review the implementation of the agreement. The agreement was seen by political observers as a major step toward peace over the border issue, but the agreement said nothing about the fundamental Somali demands that the 200,000 Somalis in Kenya should determine their own future.

The Soviet Union lacked long-range naval escorts for its nuUe-carrying freighters. The Mediterranean squadron first appeared in 1964.

It had been growing larger each year until the June war caused it to expand faster. Still much smaller than the 6th Fleet, it has been described by the fleet's commander as a "significant threat aimed directly at the 6th Fleet." Some here think Soviet admirals would like to establish a naval base at Alexandria or at Mars el Kebir, the Algerian base being evacuated by France.
