Reprimand for Skipper of Evans SUBIC BAY, Philippines (AP) A one-man court-martial sentenced Cmdr. Albert S. McLemore to a reprimand today after finding the skipper of the U.S. destroyer Frank Evans guilty of negligence in the collision of his ship and the Australian aircraft carrier Melbourne. The U.S.

Navy judge, Capt. James E. Keys, 49, of Kansas City, announced his decision 40 minutes after testimony in the two-day trial ended. Me- Lemore, 40, of San Pedro, stood stiffly at attention as the decision was read. McLemore could have received a maximum of two years at hard labor and dismissal from the Navy.

Two of the destroyer's junior officers, both on the bridge at the time of the June 3 collision in the South China Sea, received reprimands earlier for their part in the tragedy which took the lives of 74 Americans. One of the two, Lt. (j.g.) Ronald C. Ramsey, also was set back on the promotion list, which made it unlikely that he will ever get a command. Ramsey, 24, of Long Beach, also was court-martialed before Capt.

Keys, while the junior officer of the deck at the time of the collision, Lt. (j.g.) James A. Hopson, 29, of Kansas City, was not brought to trial but received a reprimand from the commander of the 7th Fleet. Although the sentences of McLemore and Ramsey are subject to review by the navy, McLemore's trial presumably ended disciplinary action against those involved in the collision. The skipper of the Melbourne, Capt.

John P. Stevenson, was acquitted by an Australian court-martial last month. McLemore was asleep in his cabin when the Evans, shifting from ahead of the Melbourne to astern of it, was cut in two by the carrier. The charge against the captain said he had been informed there was likely to be maneuvering which would require his presence on the bridge but did not leave specific night orders that he be awakened and informed prior to the maneuvers. McLemore's counsel, Cmdr.

Robinson Lappin, based his defense on two contentions: "hat the captain never received the message from the carrier tell- ing him of operations during the night that would require the Evans to change station, and that McLemore had repeatedly instructed his officers to wake him if the ship had to change station. Testifying in his own defense, McLemore insisted that he never saw the message from the carrier. Prosecution testimony showed that the message was received by the Evans early in the evening and a copy put on a clipboard for the officers of the deck. But the defense countered that a copy of the message bad not been placed on McLemore's personal message board. Ramsey substantiated McLemore's claim that he left orders to be awakened when the ship changed positions.

Ramsey said he should have waked the captain but failed to do so. markets LOCAL WAGON PRICES $1.12 Unehg Mlla S1.74 Unehg.

Tues For For 1969-512 For comparable 1968 442 Americans paid $18.9 billion in motor vehicle taxes in 1968 ROTC 'Review Disruption at University of Kansas Topeka (AP) University of Kansas officials obeyed a auto- Mena and delivered to a state egislative committee Monday ic names of 21 students who ad asked for private discipline disruption of a Reserve Officers Training Corps review ast May. Members of the Senate State nd Local Affairs Committee directed the chairman, Sen. Reynolds Shultz, R-Lawrence, keep the names "under lock and key for his eyes alone." Shultz had made several demands that the university re- ease the names. He said after the committee meeting he still hinfcs the names should be made public and that he be- ieves the committee will agree do oo later. Dean of Students WilMum Balour brought the names to the committee in response the subpoena, a rarely used legislative device.

He questioned under oath by the committee concerning university disciplinary procedures. Balfour told the members he hopes the names of the students who accepted discipline privately will be held confidential. Sen, Norman R-West- wood, the committee vice chairman, said "Release of the names is not really a function of a legislative committee. Our function is not to fish and expose, but to see whether any legislation is needed." The committee is considering legislation which would prohibit any payment of public funds, in the form of scholarships, fellowships or other grants, to students who fail or refuse to obey the lawful order of any peace or police officer while the student is participating in any demonstration, riot or disturbance. Balfour said, in reply to a question ais to whether the 21 students were paid from public funds, that one was a Civil Service employe and some oth ers were employed on research projects.

Sen. Ed Really, Leavenworth, said he had felt at first that the names should be made public, but after hearing Dean Bapfour he is not so sure. The dean told the committee it has been traditional for all university disciplinary proceeding's to be private, but the number of students charged in connection with the ROTC inci- dent was so large as to be unprecedented. He said the students charged were given the choice of accepting university discipline privately or having public hearing. Twenty-one asked for private proceedings and a larger number elected public hearings, Balfour said.

In reply to a question, Balfour said some of the 21 students given private hearings were suspended for the fall semester and put on probation for the remainder of the school year, some were put on probation for the entire year, and in some cases the findings did not indicate there should be either suspension or probation. Gaar asked how an injunction should be enforced to bar students involved in the ROTC incident from engaging in further disruptions. Balfour said the university would release the names of any students violating the injunction so the court order could be enforced. deaths Lawrence Lesley Webb Lawrence Lesley Webb, 57, Rt 1, died yesterday at St. Catherine Hospital following an illness of months.

Defense Budget Cut 'Obvious' WICHITA, Kan. (AP) The most obvious place to start cut- tog government spending is in the defense budget, Sen. Edmund S. Muskie, D-Maine, said Monday night. Inflation can't be curtailed by blanket proposals of cuts in government spending, the 1968 vice presidential candidate said at Wichita State University.

"Cutting back on highway construction will not release workers for easy transfer to home construction," Muskie said. "No meaningful cuts in federal spending can be made without damaging side effects for our domestic needs, unless we cut military spending," he said. "One need not call for a new isolationism to argue for a reexamination of our foreign policy and the military machinery we have devised to help support it" Telegram Photo MAYOR Russell Wells, left, receives a special citation on behalf of the city for its pedestrian safety program from Harold Pellogrino, assistant director of safety for the State Highway Commission. morrow.

Traffic Two Youths Still Critical Wreck Details Still Unknown WASHINGTON (AP) The student loan provision for dealing with campus on its way to the Senate after passing 322 to 60 in the House. In the Senate, One which attempts to make loans to needy students readily available through government-guaranteed interest can be ssed in its present form or sent to a conference committee.

The House defeated an attempt bo write in antiriot provisions. Another version, passed earlier by the Senate, was rejected by the House just before Congress took its three-week summer recess. This left many who planned to resume college this fall with the help of a loan holding the bag. President Nixon, however, appealed to banks to grant the student loans anyhow, on the strength of the bill's passage when Congress returned. Under either measure, private banks would grant to students and the government would pay the interest until the student completed his schooling.

The government also guarantees repayment if the student's family has an ncome of less than $15,000. While the legal interest ceiling on such loans would remain at 7 per cent, the measure provides for interest subsidies of up to 3 per cent to the Two of three teenagers injured Sunday in a 1-car wreck south of Pierceville remained in critical condition today in St. Catherine Hospital. They are Maroia Jo Mooney, 15, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.

James Mooney, Ingalls; and Donald W. Green, 17, son of Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Green, 1809 Pat's Dr. Their conditions at noon were described by a hospital spokesman as "still critical but showing signs of improvement." Also injured in the mishap was Gary Lee Fair, 15, son of Mr.

and Mrs. J. D. Fair, Hot- comb. He is in satisfactory condition.

Exactly what happened in the mishap remains unknown because investigating Finney County Sheriff's officers have been unable to talk to the three youths. Physical evidence at the scene, Deputy Sheriff Gaylord Cook said, indicates the youths' car was southbound and failed to negotiate a curve one mile south of Pierceville. The vehicle glanced off one tree and clammed sideways into a second, the impact of which sheared the front of the car from the rest of the vehicle at the windshield. The mangled wreckage stopped along the shoulder of the roadway, the front of the vehicle some 12 feet from the rest of the car. Location of the mishap was about a city block from the home of Mrs.

Gerald Beach. Although he suffered a fractured pelvis in the wreck, Farr made his way to the Beach home to report the accident. Mrs. Beach was awakened by noise of the accident and had turned on her yard light. Bill Ragel of Garden City Ambulance found Green on the front seat of the vehicle and Miss Mooney on the ground adjacent to the right front door.
