I Birmingham Said Sticky With Fear, Apr Apprehension sion By ROSS M. HAGEN BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP)-The city was sticky with fear and ap-cial prehension. Army trucks loaded with sericus-faced National Guardsmen clutching carbines bounced along city streets. Heavily laden police cruisers, (bristling with shotguns and rifles, roamed everywhere.

Police in hard hats halted everyone on the streets, demanding idenItification and warning that it was dangerous to be out on this tense and murky night. City bus drivers were leary of making regular runs into Negro neighborhoods. The police radio crackled with reports of potential trouble, much of it false. At a late hour, city officials appeared in 8 special telecast to urge everyone off the streets who had no business there. "Stay home," pleaded Negro ministers, "Stay home," pleaded the city leaders.

The city was taut; a city caught up in the knowledge that four young Negro girls lay dead of 1 dynamite bomber whojof sowed the seeds of potential rawarfare. Birmingham is no stranger to violence. Twenty-two bombings with racial overtones in the past eight years stain the community's police files. None has been solved. This is different.

For the first time, human life had been taken. A house of worship had been desecreated. Mutterings of discontent rumbled from the community. Their leaders urged restraint and to "follow the Christian path." Reports of potential trouble kept pouring into police headquarIters. There were several true alarms.

Two young Negroes were shot to death- one by police officers who said they were firing over his head after rocks were thrown at their car, the other allegedly by two white teen-agers on motor scooter. Firemen were kept busy putting out two major fires and rash GRIEF A grieving Negro man is aided by a friend at the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham shortly after it was bombed yesterday.

(AP) -The huge white oak believed to have inspired Joyce Kilmer to write "Trees" will be cut down Wednesday, a victim of old age.

The tree's demise sounds a sad note for Rutgers University, site of the oak, and for those who say it was the tree Kilmer had in mind when he wrote the poem. Others say the tree that inspired Kilmer is elsewhere. Mahwah, A community in northern New Jersey where the poet lived four years, contends Kilmer wrote of the trees that shaded his home there. In City, they tell how Kilmer wrote "Trees" after seeing a spreading maple in the yard of an old mansion. In Swanzey, N.H., 25 miles north of Montague City, it's thought the late poet penned "Trees" while viewing a group of maples during a vacation.

Belief that the gnarled oak at Rutgers was the tree of "Trees" has grown over the years. However, a university spokesman admits: "We can't prove it; Ferris Wheel Collapse Kills. 5 In Mexico FISCHER QUINTUPLETS--The quintuplets born to Mrs. Andrew Fischer in Aberdeen, S.D., Saturday are shown in these exclusive pictures made yesterday at the hospital.

They all were named Mary but have no second names. The boy was named James Andrew. Roman Catholic Bishop Lambert A. Hoch chartered plane from Sioux Falls Saturday to baptize and confirm the quints as they lay In their Isolettes, kept comfortable by controlled heat, bumidity and oxygen. The baptism was common for premature infants, but the confirmation of newborn children is rare in the Latin rite of the Catholic Church.

Fischer retained two Aberdeen attorneys, Joe Barnett and Stan Siegel, to guard his interests. The lawyers reportedly were negotiating with two major magazines for exclusive rights to the story of the quintuplets. Quintuplets occur only about once in 42 million births. Of the three previous quintuple births in the United States, none of the children survived infancy. The hospital switchboard reportbarrage of telephone calls about the condition of the five babies.

Congratulatory telegrams arrived from President Kennedy and other officials. President Outraged By Deaths WASHINGTON (AP)-President expressed "outrage and Kennedy, today over the bomb of four Negro children in Birmingham, Ala. He said he hoped the Incident would awaken the nation to "the folly of racial injustice and hatred and violence." Kennedy said if there is realization, "then it is not late for all concerned to unite steps toward peaceful progress before more lives are lost." In a special statement, Kennedy said the United States stands "domestic justice and tranquillity." "I call upon every citizen, white and Negro, North and South, put passions and prejudices aside and join in this mote justice and tranquility.

But then, who can prove an The legend is that as a boy in New Brunswick and as a student at Rutgers, Kilmer sat under the sprawling oak, its branches spanning more than a hundred feet in near-perfect symmetry. He left here in 1906. "Trees" appeared in 1913 in literary magazine, while Kilmer was living in Mahwah. His wile, Aline, said 18 years later that Kilmer wrote it while living in white frame house surrounded a tall oak trees.

Edmund Casey, Kilmer is said to have written from France shortly before was killed in World War I that the maple tree in Montague City was the one he had in mind when he wrote the poem. It's not known what happened to the letter, A letter from resident Swanzey to Rutgers says Kilmer spent summers at a Swanzey farm, and once, while sitting a veranda and looking out toward a grove of maple trees, he scribbled "Trees" on a paper bag. For some reason, the story goes, he threw the paper away, but a maid found the poem. Whether an oak, a maple, one tree or many inspired Kilmer will probably never be known. but the oak at Rutgers, perhaps the best known of the "Kilmer trees," will be on center stage Wednesday.

The oak stands alone in a field, enclosed by a small white fence. When felled, it will be stored 'til a decision is made on what to with the wood.
