Wn FlT Special to the Dally Press MAGNOLIA, Miss. Nine white men pleaded guilty Friday in Pike County Circuit Court to taking part in a number of bombings of Negro homes and churches in the McComb, area. Judge W. H. Watkins, lectured the men, saying that church burnings and home bombings would not be tolerated, regardless of the feeling of "distaste" in the white community about the presence of civil rights workers.

But he warned that they must go to jail if caught bombing in the future. A few hours later, McComb police arrested nine Negro and white civil rights workers on a charge of running a food handling establishment without a license. The arrested men and women had been feeding civil rights volunteers at Freedom House, where the workers lived. Some of the workers had been distributing leaflets saying "The Bombers Are Free. Are You?" unduly provoked by outsiders of "low morality, some of them unhygienic." from the Sky INDIANOLA, Miss.

The FBI Friday was investigating into the Thursday night aerial bombing attack upon a Negro civil rights rally. A small plane dropped an explosive near the hall but there was no damage or injuries. He sentenced each of the nine men to five years in the State Penitentiary. And then he suspended the sentences. He explained that the men were "mostly young, all come from good families who were shocked at their involvement, and they deserve another chance." The defendants included three men in their thirties and one man, 44.

The judge added that the bombers had been WARMER CIRCULATION Over 250,000 Daily Over 280,000 Sunday AILY ESS DETROIT Low 44 High 58 DETROIT, MICHIGAN, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1964 VOL. 1 NO. 94 TEN CENTS I Pact OICs Nat ouncil UAW-C tona urn 1 i 1 ill 4 7 "I See Little Hope in Press Talk Last Step Is Local Approval By JEROME HANSEN Daily Press Labor Writer Top Soviet Hinted Off To China MOSCOW (Reuters) The absence of the Communist Party's top theoretician from big state funeral Friday led 5r The United Auto Workers 4 Washington Boreas WASHINGTON Federal mediators Friday evening expressed little hope in breaking the stalemate between unions and management in the De General Motors Council voted! to reports of a secret move to repair the Sino-Soviet conflict. troit newspaper strike.

with 259 members of the 265-member GM Council attending. They met for five hours, with most of the time devoted to a detailed, virtually word-by-word analysis of the three-vear contract agreed to by GM and the UAW Oct. 5. Reuther spoke for more than an hour, reviewing the national negotiations since they started June 30, and giving a detailed explanation of the economic areas of the Top Army Aide Arrested on Morals Charge Goldtvater cancels "morality" film. Page 3A Wahinton Bureau WASHINGTON Washington political circles buzzed with rumors of a new morals scandal in high circles today with the disclosure of the arrest of an Army lieutenant colonel.

However, the man's link with the White House was uncertain. He was an aide to Army Secretary Stephen Ailes when he was arrested. His identity was not disclosed. Circumstances of the new case paralleled the arrest of former Johnson aide Walter W. Jenkins on a morals charge Oct.

7. Jenkins was arrested in a men's room of the Washington YMCA. The lieutenant colonel was arrested Oct. 6. According to police reports, he was charged with disorderly conduct (loitering) at the YMCA.

He forfeited $25 bond. LIAISON TIE The officer was arrested by the same two district morals squad detectives who later arrested Jenkins. They are L. P. Drouillard and Lt.

L. N. Foushett. The Des Moines Register Tribune reported that the Army officer had "some White House liaison function." His exact connection with the White House, if any, was not immediately known. He was removed as aide to Secretary Ailes when the Army was notified of his arrest.

He was subsequently admitted to Walter Reed Hospital in Washington. The hospital would not reveal the nature of his illness. The Walter Jenkins case, meanwhile, remained in the political spotlight. The State Department conceded that 150 officials were given "interim" security clearance in 1961, but said that all have since been subjected to "full security investigations and been given full clearance." PRACTICE STOPPED A spokesman said they were given "emergency clearance" shortly after the Kennedy Administration came into office so they could handle secret matters without delay. Some other interim clearances were granted in 1962 and 1963, but none in 1964, the department said.

The information was in answer to charges by Republican presidential candidate Barry Goldwater that the Walter Jenkins case showed "lax security" in the White House. He charged that it was just as bad in the State Department, where 150 persons were cleared for secret work without proper investigation. Jenkins, 46, the father of six children, is still in George Washington Hospital, where he was admitted shortly after his latest arrest suffering from "extreme fatigue" and high blood pressure. Alleged Mobster 15 Youths Indicted in Food Held in Monday. Foreign observers said Sus-lov's absence could only be explained by pressing business or illness.

PEKING MISSION There were widespread reports Suslov might have left for Peking in a secret move to repair the breach between Russia and Communist China. In related developments: A three-man French Communist Party delegation will come here to meet Soviet Communist leaders and demand a full explanation of the recent changes in the Russian party leadership. Two top Italian Communist leaders also are coming to Moscow, and other European Communist parties have asked Russia for a full explanation of the shifts. Pro-P eking Albania's first deputy prime minister, Spiro Koleka, said the removal of "this traitor" Khrushchev was "a greaj victory for Marxism-Leninism and all the revolutionary forces in the world." HAILS A-BOMB Koleka also applauded the explosion of Communist China's first A-bomb and said that "the vile plot hatched last year by Khrushchev and the American and British imperialists in the shape of the unlamented Moscow test banning treaty has failed ignomi-riously." Khrushchev reportedly (Continued on Page Two) N.Y. Row Stamp Fraud ENTIRE CONTRACT William E.

Simkin, director of the mediation agency, was taking a personal hand in the meetings. The agency spokesmen said that the union and management officials were going over the entire contract even though the major points of difference that touched off the strike involve overtime for Saturday work on tha Free Press and a press manning issue on the News. Anthony J. DeAndrade president of the parent union, the International Printing Pressmen and Assistants Union of North America, is in on the mediation talks along with the presidents of the two local unions, the Pressmen's Union, Local 13, and the Paper and Plate Handlers' Union, Local 10.

He then recommended Council approval. The majority was "over 95 per cent," union sources said. One possible stumbling block to the full recall of all 345,000 GM workers would be failure by some locals to reach a settlement on local issues. SPEED-UP MOVE As of Friday evening, 97 of the 130 GM locals had such agreements, and Reuther called for "intensification" of the local-level bargaining. To speed things up, all locals were instructed to put local level agreements to votes of their memberships along with the ratification votes on the national contract.

The grand jury charged that Cavataio raised the amount on retail dealers' food stamp forms from $73 to $174.50, in one instance, knowing that it was false and fraudulent.

The food stamps are given by the government to people on welfare, who use them to purchase goods from retailers. Retailers, in turn, use the stamps to pay the wholesaler in this case Gava-taio.

False Any Mast THE HAGUE, Netherlands (Reuters) State policewomen need no longer be "well-proportioned." Dutch justice minister Jnze Scholten has scrapped this old stipulation for recruits and another that "special attention should be paid to the breasts of women recruits in view of the uniform they have to wear." Last November the minister decided to admit applicants with bow-legs or knock-knees "provided that they cannot be detected under a uniform." Until recently candidates with small chests, stutterers, those with speech impediments and those who could not chew properly were banned from the force.

The justice minister further liberalized the regulations by dropping a ban against "too tall" candidates who were previously rejected "for esthetic considerations." However, one rule still holds: Candidates "are not expected to display serious mental disturbance." teacher had picked Ranes up while he was hitchhiking. During the trial Field had tried to convince the jury that Ranes was insane and that he required intensive psychiatric care. Two psychiatrists for the prosecution, Dr. Clarence M. Schrier.

medical superintendent of Kalamazoo State Hospital, and Dr. William A. Decker, the hospital's clinical director, both testified that Ranes knew right from wrong when he shot Smock. KALAMAZOO Nineteen-year-old Larry Lee Ranes, convicted slayer of a Plymouth school teacher, was sentenced to life imprisonment at hard labor Friday by Kalamazoo Circuit Judge Raymond P. Fox.

A jury of eight men and four women overruled a defense plea of insanity when it convicted Ranes on Oct. 9 of the murder of Gary A. Smock, 30, teacher in a Plymouth school. The jury deliberated four hours. Defense attorney Eugene Field said Friday he would appeal the verdict of first degree murder, which makes it mandatory that the court impose a life sentence.

Ranes, of Kalamazoo, who had freely admitted killing Smock and also confessed to four other slayings in other states, showed no emotion when Judge Fox pronounced sentence. Smock was shot to death by Ranes on May 29 after the U.S. if the Chinese Reds were invited to the Geneva disarmament talks.
