'MERCY KILLING' Former Envoy Slain by Wife COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) reported Wednesday the American wife of Denmark's former ambassador to the United States, Henrlk Kauffmann, slit her husband's throat and then took her own life with the same bread knife.

They described the murder as a "mercy killing." Kauffmann, police said, had an Inoperable cancer and "his wife killed him to save him from further suffering. Then she committed suicide, having left a number of letters to relatives explaining why she was going to do it." Mrs. Kauffmann was the former Charlotte MacDougall of Beaufort, S.C., daughter of Rear Adm. William D. MacDougall.

She was 63 and Kauffmann was 74. A'nurse found their bodies when she entered their suite in a luxurious health and nerve clinic on the coast K) miles north of Copenhag en. The former ambassador was the much-decorated symbol ol Danish resistance to the Nazis in World War II. Kaufmann, one of the best- known men in Denmark, gained fame when, as an envoy to Washington, he refused to take orders from the Copenhagen authorities cooperating with the Nazi invaders in 1940. He served as the rallying force for other Danish diplomats throughout the free world.

On his own authority, he signed a 1941 agreement with the United States for American defense of Greenland, then a Danish colony. This was before the United States entered the war. In 1M2, he lined up Denmark as one of the Allies against the Axis powers. Kauffmann, son of a Danish court official, stayed in the United States after the war and was given the honorary appointment of minister without portfolio in the Danish government. He was head of the Danish delegation at the foundation of the United Nations and was named ambassador to Washington in 1947.

He retired in 1958 and returned to Denmark. A lean and handsome man, Kauffmann was undergoing treatment at a sanatorium at the time of his death. His wife also was believed to be receiving treatment there. They were married in 1926. They leave two adult daughters, both living in Denmark.

U.S. Drafts Stiff Protest To Ecuador WASHINGTON (AP)-The United States drafted a stiff protest Wednesday against fines imposed by Ecuador on two U.S. tuna boats charged with fishing illegally in Ecuadorian waters. Asst. Secretary of State Edwin Martin called in Ecuadorean Ambassador Dr.

Neftall Ponce- Miranda this morning in an effort to get full information on what had happened. Stale Department officials said there were also conferences with the Ecuadorian government at Quito. A State Department spokesman said that in view of the United States there was no legal basis for Ecuador's action against the fishing boats White Star and Ranger, operating out of San Diego, Calif. Ecuador has asserted control over water extending 200 miles from its coast. The United States "recognizes only a three-mile limit.

A whole fleet of tuna boats was involved in the incident last week when Ecuadorian authorities seized and took into port the two vessels which Tuesday were fined a'total of $20,688.

Esler Field Tower Asked By Delegation WASHINGTON (AP)-An Alexandria, delegation has reported it was encouraged over prospects for getting a control tower at the Esler Field Airport, near Alexandria. Here for a meeting with officials of the Federal Aviation Agency Wednesday were Louis Harrell and Lynn Longino.

Rep. Gillis Long, also participated. Harrell and Long reported later that under FAA rules an airport must have 24,000 landings and takeoffs yearly in order to qualify for a federal control tower project. "We have met this criteria on three previous occasions," Har rell said, "and we are confident we will meet it again when a new count is made later this month. "The FAA official strongly indicated that if we meet the count the tower will be included in the program drawn up for next year." Long likewise said he is optimistic over prospects.

He added, however, that it probably would be another 18 months before the tower could be built since procedure requires that the project be authorized by Congress before money can be appropriated. Civil Rights Aid Promised By Republicans By BARRY gCHWEtft WASHINGTON 'API Republi can senators have promised to support additional civil rights leg islatlon. But they remained mute on whether they would try to crush a Southern filibuster. The Republican position hammered out Wednesday at the second of two conferences promot ed by Sen. Jacob K.

Javits of New York, an ardent supporter of civi rights legislation. No agreement was reached a the initial two-hour meeting. Then at the end of a three-hour session in late afternoon, the Republican approved a statement saying the will "support further appropriat legislation required to help solv the problems of our nation in th field of civil rights." Not all the 33 Republican sen ators attended the closed meeting exact number present coul not be Sen. Lev erett Saltonstall of Massachusetts, chairman of the conference, said there was some division on adopt- ng the statment. "I couldn't say it was unanimous," he said, "but I can truthfully say I am confident the ayes carried it." Approved by voice vote, the policy statement is not binding on the GOP senators, he said.

The Republicans did not examine the question of whether they Jfiss.

K. Smith, Smither, should try to crush the filibuster Dixie forces likely would set up in an effort to block new civil rights legislation. Without substantial Republican support, northern Democrats would be powerless to beat back the Southerners since a two thirds majority of senators voting is needed to invoke cloture. The Democratic Kennedy administration is known to be preparing a civil rights package, and Javits had urged his GOP colleagues to "go down the line for civil rights legislation in this session of Congress." Jock Is Watchdog Of Kennedys BATON ROUGE (AP) Rep. Wellborn Jack, a Caddo Parish segregationist, serves as a one- man legislative watchdog on the doings of the Kennedys.

They're a frequent target of his wrath. He got up and told the Louisiana House Tuesday Atty. Gen. Robert Kennedy has applied to a private, segregated school in Maryland for admission of his three eldest sons. "I called the cook at the school to find out that there are not any Negro boys in the school," the legislator said.

Jack quoted from a news story that said Kennedy had applied for admission of his sons in the Landon School for Boys In Bethesda, near Washington. "The story says that there was no immediate information available on whether the Landon school had any Negro students," Jack explained. "I knew I couldn't get any information from the school master, so I placed a long distance call to the nothing could stir you up." The Rev. Mr. Whitney urged softer treatment of Negroes not active in Integration effort, urging, "let us not condemn those who cannot march with us.

Sometimes, mother home on her knees can do no fhore than we can do on our feet." Speakers said a boycott effort was working, that the main white library had been quietly desegregated and vowed their efforts were not a "youth movement," but one of "Negroes who want freedom and want it now." City police released statistics Wednesday showing 438 of 617 persons arrested in picketing, sit-ins and mass marches were juveniles 18. Juveniles arrested ranged from one 11-year-old to 138 Ifi-year-olds and 131 17-year-olds.

Civil Rights Discussed by GOP Senators WASHINGTON (AP)-Republican senators discussed civil rights problems for two hours Wednesday in a closed party conference without reaching any decisions. Sen. Lcverett Saltonstall of Massachusetts, chairman of the conference, told newsmen another meeting had been scheduled. Sen.

K. Javits of New York, who requested the conference, had urged his GOP colleagues to "go down the line for civil rights legislation in this session of Congress." But comments of senators emerging from the conference pointed up that the Republicans, like the Democrats, are divided. Sen. Barry Goldwater of Arizona told newsmen he saw no need for additional civil right measures, although he added this didn't necessarily mean he would oppose any bill that might be pro posed. Friday.

LeBlanc at the time told sheriff's officers that his wife was killed by three men who broke into the house and robbed him.
