Vietnamese Officer
Rejects Cabinet Seat
SAIGON (A) - Brig: Gen. Nguyen Cao Ky rejected a cabinet
appointment yesterday, preferring his command of the Vietnamese
air force to a seat on the Saigon political scene.
This represented a hitch in a reshuffle that a United States'
spokesman described Monday as "a positive and helpful step toward1
a stable government." 1
Ky was supposed to become Minister of Youth and Sports, a new }
post created specially for him.
His rejection of the appointment was viewed with special gravity
because the appointments were a subject of concern to the military1
council of Lt. Gen. Nguyen
Khanh, the ex-premier who com-

'Chute Found
At Jet Crasi
WICHITA, Kan. ()-Brig. Ger
Murray A. Bywater said toda
a parachute was found on on
engine of the wreckage of a je
tanker which crashed in Wichita
Saturday killing 30 persons.
He said the chance was "ex
tremely remote" the chute con
tributed to the accident.
Gen. Bywater is in charge o
the Air Force's investigation o
the crash.
Experts
Engine experts confirmed tha.
the chute was attached to the
engine when the engine was pull-
ed out of a hole in the stree
after the crash. They did not say
how it was attached, or whether
it was a complete chute.
They said it was found in the
same hole with bodies of crewmer
and1 other parts of the aircraft.
Bywater, head of the acciden
investigation team, said he check-
ed with experts at the Oklahom
City Air Material Area about. the
parachute and said: b
Attached
"The fact that this parachute
is attached to the jet engine, it's
their (the experts) preliminary
opinion that chances of its con-
tributing to the accident is ex-
tremely remote."
Thirty people were killed when
the four-engine jet tanker, loaded
with jet fuel for a test mission
with another plane, dived into
a residential area of northeast
Wichita Saturday. The victims in-
cluded 23 residents of the area
and seven crewmen.
While most of the plane's
wreckage was kept here for a
study of the causes of the crash,
the four jet engines were shipped
to the Oklahoma City Air Ma-
terial Area to be studied by spe-
cialists.
Later Statement
In a later statement, Bywater
noted that:
"No one can say yet whether or
not it was a contributing cause."
"It is too.early to draw a con-
clusion on how it got there. It is
a nylon cord. It is shredded in a
way but is not burned. Presum-
ably it is part of a personnel
parachute."
Bywater said he had no report
that anything other than the cord
was found in the engine of the
plane that crashed into a residen-
tial area.
Aft Position
He said it was found "in the
aft position of the compressor
section of the engine. All we are
getting are unofficial reports. It
would be unwise to draw any con-
clusion until we can analyze what
cord it is, how it could get there
and determine whether it had a
bearing on the crash.
"At the moment we don't feel
it contributed to the crash."
He said he had no information
on the color of the cord, its size
or whether any part of it was in-
tact.

McNamara
Sees Changes
WASHINGTON (0P)-Secretary
of Defense Robert S. McNamara
said revolutionary changes "have
been driven into the bedrock" of
the nation's military establish-
ment and will remain after him,
in a conference yesterday.
But while forecasting his re-
forms will endure under future
defense secretaries, McNamara
sounded as if he expected to stay
on his job for quite some time to
come.
"I take one job at a time. The
President asked me to stay on,1
and I will as long as he needs me."
During McNamara's administra-
tion, he has:
-Cut off some expensive and
glamorous projects, like the B70
bomber and Skybolt missiles, be-
cause he felt they weren't worth
the outlay and were questionable
technically, and has

troversial TFX fighter plane con-

probe questioning his judgment. '

SECRETARY-WIRTZ
tive in the federal government.
Henning won the fight when
Supreme Court Justice Arthur J.
Goldberg, former Secretary of
Labor, persuaded Wirtz to with-
draw his demand for Henning's
resignation.
Acting for Johnson
Goldberg reportedly was acting
for Johnson in mediating the dis-
pute between the two top Labor
Department officials.
The decision to uphold the
minimum wage in these programs
reportedly was worked out be-
tween AFL-CIO representatives
and Labor Department officials.
It provides the $1.25 minimum
for all actual work in community
programs, although a Labor De-
partment spokesman said it would
not necessarily apply to hours
spent in guidance and counselling
sessions.
The neighborhood Youth Corps,
being financed with 90 per cent
federal funds, is set up to give
work experience ,to uneducated,,
untrained youths, many of whom
have never worked before.
Some Labor Department offi-
cials reportedly had been concern-1
ed that setting a $1.25 minimum
wage might hamstring some of
the projects.

Continues to
Cling to .Life
LONDON (YP) - Sir Winston
Churchill slept through last night
clinging tenaciously to life after
a turn for the worse in the early
morning hours.
The street in front of his house
was cleared of crowds at the re-
quest of Lady Churchill as the
vigil ended its fifth day.
Lord Moran, Churchill's person-
al physician, spent 31 minutes with
the 90-year-old statesman last
night and reported no appreciable
change in his condition since
morning.
Members of the Churchill fam-
ily came and went. In the after-
noon Lady Churchill went out for
an hour's drive with her daughter,
Mrs. Christopher Soames. It was
only the second time she had
eft the house since Churchill was
stricken.
Among the visitors was Lord
Avon, who as Sir Anthony Eden
succeeded Churchill as prime min-
ster in 1955. He cut short a holi-
day in the West Indies to see his
old chief. His wife, a niece of
Churchill's, came with him.
Moran's evening bulletin was
he eleventh since Churchill was
felled by a stroke last Friday.
The Tuesday evening bulletin
aid:
"Sir Winston slept through the
day and . there is no appreciable
hange in his condition since this
morning. There will be another
ulletin tomorrow morning."
A British medical spokesman
aid that the stroke that hit
Churchill Friday was taking the
normal course of a cerebral throm-
osis and added: "It could go on
or days or weeks."
British Prime Minister Harold
Wilson postponed a visit he was

Germany and Berlin. He said in
view of Churchill's condition it
would not be right for him to
eave the country now. .

ISGC To Hear
Off-Campus
Problems
By JUDITH WARREN
Following up on last week's
'decision to concentrate its efforts
in student off-campus housing
and general student economic
welfare, S t u d e n t Government
Council tonight will consider spe-
cific action in these two areas.
SGC will hear briefings from
each of the various campus com-
mittees engaged in studies of the
off-campus housing situation to
determine exactly what steps
should be taken to secure an ad-
justment of area rent conditions.
Following the "information ses-
sion," Council will act on motions
concerned with the housing situ-
ation and with action to be taken
for the reduction of the admission
prices at the campus Butterfield
Theatres.
Brook, Miller
Douglas Brook, '65, president of
Student Government Council, and
Sherry Miller, '65, administrative
vice-president of SGC, will recom-
mend that SGC not affiliate with
the newly formed Associated Stu-
dent Governments.
Based on their impressions of
the first national meeting of ASG
held in November, Brook and Miss
Miller see one central problem
with ASG. "ASG is presently com-
posed mainly of smaller schools
and Southern schools whosehstu-
dent governments have a differ-
ent basic orientation," Brook said.
"The student governments of
these schools are involved with
sponsoring student projects, such
as Homecoming. SGC, however,
is a more policy oriented student
government," Brook explained.
Little Value
Thus, Brook added, ASG can
have little value to SGC at this
time.
Brook emphasized that he
would like to recommend that SGC
affiliate with ASG. However, thej
events of the first national con-
vention, "Lead me to believe that,
ASG cannot provide sufficient
help to our student government,"
Brook said.
ASG hopes to solve the prob-
lems of student governmentsf
through the exchange of infor-
mation, through seminars and
through direct contact at annual
conventions, at regional confer-
ences and through the direct mail-E
ing of materials.1
Future
Concerning the future of ASG,t
Brook sees two possible courses.
First, ASG could become just af
clearingdhouse for information
submitted by member schools.
Second, "it could become a group
a c t i v e in the support andf
strengthening of student govern-
ments on local campuses," Brook1
stated in his report.
Brook added that ASG could
aid local campuses by initiatingf
new policies and presenting pro-
grams. "I am inclined to think
that ASG will realize the secondt
alternative," Brook said.
Brook emphasized that this willt
depend on the leadership and the

To Comply with
Officials' Orders
SELMA, Ala. -A local sheriff
arrested 62 Negroes yesterday
when they sought to enter the
county courthouse yesterday to
seek registration as voters.
Four others, including a Negro
businesswoman, Mrs. A m e l i a
Boynton, were arrested earlier in
the day as Negroes led by Rev.
Martin Luther King continued
their new civil rights campaign.
King went immediately to Jus-
tice Department officials here with
a request for intervention In hope
of getting some Negroes registered
and to obtain a court order to
prevent Sheriff Jim Clark from
interfering further.
Restaurants
Meanwhile, at Tuscaloosa, six
restaurants lowered century-old
racial barriers and served Negroes
seeking a test of the Civil Rights
Act.
Negro comedian Dick Gregory
led one group.
The mass arrests in Selma came
when Negroes in two groups refus-
ed to line up in the courthouse
alley as Clark had ordered. They
remained on the sidewalk in-
stead and Clark took them into
custody on charges of unlawful
assembly.
Other Applicants
Clark told the Negroes that oth-
er applicants, both white and Ne-
gro, had arrived at the' court-
house before the group led by
King had formed a line inside
the building. He said the Negroes
who arrived laterhwould have to
go to the end of the line and en-
ter from the alley.
Sheriff's deputies guarded the
front door and a side door of the
courthouse. Newsmen were re-
stricted by the sheriff from cross-
ing the street in front of the
courthouse.
Mrs. Boynton made an unsue-
cessful race for Congress in the
Democratic primary last May and
has taken an active part in the
civil rights movement. She was
arrested . when she appeared at
the courthouse to vouch for Ne-
groes seeking to register.
When Mrs. Boynton refused to
go into the alley to jointhosedIn
line, Clark seized her by the collar
and shoved her along the sidewalk.
Two deputies put her in a car and
took her to jail.
Leaders
Several other integration lead-
ers were among those arrested.
Prof. James Gildersleeve, a fac-
ulty member at the Lutheran
Academy in Selma, exchanged
words with the sheriff and walked
around the corner, apparently
leaving the courthouse. When he
stopped by a side entrance, Clark
first walked and then ran to-
ward him. He grabbed Gildersleeve
and put him under arrest.
Also among those taken to jail
were Hosea Williams of Atlanta,
director of voter registration for
King's Southern Christian Lead-
ership Conference, and John Lew-
is, chairman of the Student Non-
Violent Coordinating Committee.
SNCC Staff
Three other SNCC staff mem-
bers were taken into custody ear-
lier and booked at the county jail
for "suspicion." They had gone to
the courthouse with one group of
Negroes who refused to go into
the alley but kept moving rather
than remain on the sidewalk.
King remained across the street
because he was not an applicant
for voter registration nor could
he serve as a voucher because he
is not registered in Dallas County.
A group of young Negroes as-
sembled across the street and sang
freedom songs. The city's public
safety director, Wilson Baker, or-
dered the singers to disperse,
Negroes who sought to go into
the courthouse through the front
door had agreed in advance that
