He said McDowell agreed f the gun was his but refused any other statement. McDowell was jailed on a charge of carrying a concealed deadly weapon. L, L, Love, dean of students, said the suspension would remain in ef- fect pending a school hearing on the incident. The hearing may be held tomor- row, Love said, and McDowell would be given an opportunity to attend, even if he were still in jail.

Kennedy's meeting with Blaik, the former West Point football coach and Royall, former secretary of the Army, was his third dealing with the tense racial situation in Birmingham during a busy day. Civic Leaders He also conferred with civic leaders and Alabama religious leaders. The six Alabama clergymen who met with Kennedy just prior to his meeting with Blaik and Royall expressed the hope in a state- ment that the two men's presence in Birmingham "may prove to be helpful and fruitful." Earlier yesterday Birmingham city councilman Don Hawkins said Kennedy had offered to do what he could to insure two weeks of peace and quiet in that city so that local leaders could try to solve racial problems on their own. Open Arms William Hamilton, executive secretary to Mayor Albert Bout- well, said city officials will wel- come the visit of Blaik and Roy- all, scheduled for today. Hamilton, one of the five civic leaders who met with Kennedy, said that Blaik and Royall "will serve as a sort of catalyst" to bring the forces together toward reaching a better understanding. BIRMINGHAM (P)-Eight white men including a high ranking offi- cial of the militantly segregation- ist National States Rights Party were indicted yesterday by a spe- cial federal grand jury investi- gating alleged interference with school desegregation court orders. Even as the defendants were being arrested, United States Dis- trict Court Judge Clarence W. All- good was decrying "attempts to influence and intimidate" the grand jurors and court. Named in the indictments were: Edward R. Fields, information di- rector and leader of the National States Rights Party; Gerald Q. Dutton, Jessee B. Stoner, party attorney; James K. Warner, David A. Stanley, Barney M. Carmack, Jr., Jack Cash, and Ralph Le- wandowski. The indictments stemmed from incidents which occurred when three Birmingham schools were desegregated, beginning Sept. 4. Pickets appeared at each school. There was no widespread viol- ence, although several times police officers had to use force in re- straining pickets protesting entry of the five young Negroes. All of the men but Cash were charged with conspiring to inter- fere with "the due administration of justice" and with wilfully at- tempting "by threats and force, to obstruct, impede and interfere" with the court orders. The indict- ment listed 26 overt acts of al- leged interferences. ,I- - - RENT A TV THIS SEMESTER U Reserve Yours Now ! NEW 19" G.E.
