While here, the mild-mannered bachelor was interviewed by a Telegraph reporter, who found the Navy pilot a dedicated avia Riot Nipped (Continued From Page 1) of one of the Negro boys. "About six of the Negro boys were pursuing this white boy; they were shoving him and pushing him down the street," the reporter said. "It looked like serious trouble would break cut, but Conners, Fraundorf and Hartung and a couple of other officers went into the middle of the group and broke it up." Several of the youths feigned injuries as if they had been struck by the officers and one claimed "police the reporter said. "A few seconds before, I saw that boy walking around.

He wasn't hit." Chief Hartung said his department confiscated empty beer cans and liquor bottles from the front lawn of the YMCA. Hartung said he asked John Paddock, YMCA director, who was one of four chaperons at the dance, if there had been any drinking inside the place. "He didn't see any inside," Hartung said. Paddock could not be reached for comment this morning. The Negroes attending the dance were from various parts of the county, Hartung said, including the Alton and Tri-Cities area.

Hartung said the incident was "by no means" a racial disturbance. In fact, the chief said, the trouble was caused by a small handful, possibly 21, of the 151 youths. "There were just a few bad lemons, most of the kids were there trying to have a decent time. But when the fight started, the kids just milled around looking on," Hartung said. Hartung said that only a.few of the youths had been drinking.

"I know of only one who was he said. "I want to publicly thank the sheriff, the secretary of state's office, Glen Carbon, SIU and Troy and any other police agen cies that helped keep down any violence from happening," "It was not a racial disturbance, but if the police hadn't come right away, it Mold have ended in an explosive situation, there's no doubt about it," Hartung added. Hartung told the Telegraph hat the department received more than 20 phone calls in reference to the disturbance, from residents in the all-white neighborhood.

Cmdr. Oliver, in the Navy aviation program 11 years, had a quick wit, though being on the quiet side, and enjoyed a verbal tussle with his fellow flyers. He was a Blue Angel for two years, flying the No. 5 solo plane, and in his one remaining year, hoped to become one of the main four performers. In June he said he liked the solo performance but longed for the opportunity to fly in the tight formation of four F-ll-F jets.

Cmdr. Oliver told the reporter that being a Blue Angel is an extreme honor, but like any part of a Navyman's career, it is just a three-year tour of duty.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 3,1966 U.S. Loses 2 More Planes By ROBERT TUCRMAN SAIGON, South Viet Nam (AP) U.S.

military headquarters said today two more American planes were shot down over North Viet Nam during raids on the main supply and infiltration routes to the south. Rainstorms again curtailed U.S. air blows against the north and an elusive enemy in the south reduced allied ground action once more to small skirmishes. High-altitude B52 bombers, flying above the foul weather, dropped tons of explosives at noon today on a Viet Cong base camp and training area close to 'he Cambodian border. The bombers hit at much-battered War Zone 70 miles northwest of Saigon in Tay Ninh Province.

The losses of the latest two planes raised to 357 the number of American warplanes to go down in action over North Viet Nam. Pilots RescMd One plane was a Navy Al Skyraider from the aircraft carrier Intrepid which was shot down 40 miles northwest of Dong Hoi Friday. The other was an Air Force F105 Thunderchief which went down 40 miles north of the same coastal city. The pilots of both planes were Area Police (Continued From Page 1) "If the court," he said, "is here and now to announce new and fundamental policy its text and reasoning should withstand analysis and not proceed on speculation alone. "There is, in my view, every reason to believe that a good many criminal defendants, who otherwise would have been convicted on what this court has previously thought to be the most satisfactory kind of evidence, will now either not be cried at all or acquitted, if the state's evidence, minus the confession is put to the test of liti gation.

In some unknown num her of cases the court's rule will return a killer, a rapist or other criminal to the streets, to repeat his crime whenever it pleases him." This, in effect is what Chief Riggins is saying when he said, "I go along with protecting the rights of prisoners, but we're being handcuffed by the new law. We can't interrogate him. We have to ask him if he wants to talk to us. Then we advise him of his rights. If he refuses to talk voluntarily, there's noth ing we can do." To combat this, all three chiefs agree that more thorough and painstaking investigation is needed before a case is ready tor court.

Chief Vollintine said he hopes to counter this limitation by obtaining more physical evidence in crime investigations and by making use of more laboratory techniques. OPEN SAY Sunday and LABOR DAY!
