Garner .Dies
UVALDE, Tex. - John Nance
Garner, who rose from origins in
rural Texas to the nation's highest
power councils, died quietly and
painlessly yesterday. He was 98
years old.
The former vice president, who
was found of referring to himself
as a "little old Democrat," came
within one year and tWo weeks of
his goal of living to be 100 years
old.
Garner, widely known as "Cac-
to Texas, ran for Clarksville city
attorney and lost. He moved to
Uvalde, 500 miles to the southwest.
The young lawmaker champion
ed some remarkable losing causes.
He introduced a bill to divide
Texas into five states so as to give
the area10 senators.
He entered Congress in 1903 and
stayed so popular in his district he
was consistently re-elected with-
)ut making a campaign speech for
25 years. He came to preside over
both houses.

ROMNEY IN WISCONSIN
Michigan Gov. George Romney was greeted with scattered hissing and booing at a Peace Corps
recruiting booth on the University of Wisconsin campus yesterday. Romney told the students law and
order and a belief in God were essential parts of America. The possible White House hopeful is in
Wisconsin to test the political winds.

Of Three-State Crim
LANSING (,A)-Striking in a
widespread series of raids Monday
night and early yesterday, police
arrested 27 persons on a range of,
charges that included gambling,
auto theft, armed robery and con-
spiracy to murder.
Michigan Atty. Gen. Frank Kel-
ley said the arrested persons were
part of a single "large-scale crim-
inal operation" which had branch-
ed out from Flint to other parts
of the state and to Ohio and Pen-
nsylvania.
Kelley said warrants had been
issued for the arrest of another 11
persons in the same alleged con-
spiracy of crime.
One of the arrests was made in
Erie, Pa. The others were in the
state.
Unemployment Rate Hits
Hi hest Level
WASHINGTON (P)-- The na-
tion's economy experienced a
"disappointing job slump in Oc-
tober, falling to the highest un-
employment rate in two years,"
the government said yesterday.
The 4.3 per cent jobless rate
reflected the sharpest two-month
rise in seven years and indicated
that the number of Americans out
of work totaled 500,000 more
than there were a year earlier,
the Labor Department said.
Slower Growth
While total employment in-
creased slightly to 75.1 million,
the rate of growth was slower and
millions of employes were work-
ing shorter hours, the report said.
"Certainly disappointing," was
the way Commissioner Arthur M.
Ross of the Bureau of Labor Sta-
tistics summed it up.
But Ross declined to predict
whether a worse economic slow-
down appeared in the making and
avoided questions as to whether
the new figures bolstered Presi-,
dent Johnson's argument for an
income tax increase.
Previous Support
In previous reports on employ-
ment and living costs, Ross us-
ually interpreted latest economic
figures as supporting the need
for higher taxes.
Johnson's proposed 19 per cent
income tax surcharge is held up
in the House Ways and Means
Committee.
"It is premature to attempt a
firmer explanation" of the job
slump, Ross said.
The President's Council of Eco-
nomic Advisers, often quick to use
new economic figures to back the
case for a tax hike, had no com-
ment on the report.

white workers rose from 3.6 to
3.8 per cent, and the rate for non-
whites-mostly Negroes--went up
from 7.9 to 8.8 per cent.
Total employment rose 550,000
in October, the expected increase,
but an unexpectedly large rise of
600,000 in the labor force erased
the job gains.
The year's increase in employ-
ment was entirely in such service-
type jobs as state and local gov-
ernment and retail trade.
The bureau said much of the
260,000 decline in manufacturing
jobs the last year was due to
workers on strikes - running at
the highest level in 15 years.
Strikers are not counted as un-
employed, but they are stricken
from job lists.
The figures reflected a real
slowdown in the growth of manu-
facturing employment, the' bu-
reau said.
ie Ring
Of the 27 jailed, 24 were charged
with conspiring to violate state
gambling laws in what Kelley de-
scribed as. a $100,000-a-month
football betting operation in Livo-
nia, Flint and Lapeer.
Five persons also were charged
with conspiracy to murder Charles
Thomas, who was shot twice in the
head in a Pittsburgh area motel.
Police said Thomas had been work-
ing with them to help break a
counterfeiting ring.
Gambling
Kelley said three of the 27 also
have been charged by federal au-
thorities with gambling violations
in interstate commerce .One of the
three also was held for transport-
ing a stolen auto across a state
line.
He said a two-month investiga-
tion of the alleged crime ring in-
volved his office, federal agents,
and police in Flint, Detroit, Livo-
nia, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Large-Scale
"The investigation revealed that
several individuals originally oper-
ating out of the Flint area had
set up a large-scale criminal oper-
ation and had been involved in
robberies, burglaries, check pass-
ing, car theft, prostitution opera-
tions and gambling in various
parts of the state and in Ohio and
Pennsylvania," Kelley said.
The same persons and others,
Kelley added, were involved in a
$100,000-a-week football betting
operation in which betting cards
were circulated in state bars and'
factories.

Egypt Asks
UN Session
UNITED NATIONS-Impatient
after long weeks of fruitless nego-
tiations, Egypt called yesterday
for an urgent meeting of the U.N.
Security Council and set the
stage for a confrontation of rival
plans for a Middle East settle-
ment.
The request came in the midst
of heated bargaining over a new
United States draft resolution that
Americans had hoped would
break the prolonged deadlock
over Israeli withdrawal from Arab
territory captured in the six-day
war last June and continued Arab
belligerence toward Israel.
Soon after the Egyptian re-
quest was submitted, two resolu-
tions were introduced-one by the
U.S., and the other by India, Mali
and Nigeria.
Members of the 15-nation coun-
cil consulted on the time of the
meeting but said it might not be
held until tomorrow. The council
is scheduled to meet this after-
noon on a complaint from the
Congo.
Both the U.S. draft and the
three-power proposal would au-
thorize the sending of a special
representative to the Middle East
