Slated for 5 Men
In Local Guard Unit
Departure Date Tentatively
¥ Announced for Oct. 23-24
Five members of the Taylor
National Guard Unit will go on
active duty Monday. They will be
stationed at the Taylor armory
to help with preliminary work
leading up to the Company B
M^iobilization Oct. 15.
Capt. Delmer Nichols, com-
manding officer of the unit who
went on active duty last Monday,
said the men would not be sent
to Fort Polk, La., until ithe com-
pany is sent there.
Nichols also announced that
the tentative departure date for
Fort Polk is Oct. 23-24, accord-
ing to (the latest word from bat-
talion headquarters in Temple.
Nichols named two of the five
men to report for active duty
Monday. They are SP4 Bernard
McMakin. the company clerk,
and S-Sgt. Milton Biomquist, Ithe
company supply sergeant.
Nichols said the other three,
some of whom will be out-of-town
boys, would be named at the
Sunday drill.
In connection with Ithe physi-
cal examinations the five offi-
cers and 67 men received Wed-
nesday night, Capt. Nichols said
there was a question about wheth-
er two or three of the men pass-
ed their examinations.
He said the men involved do
not know if they have flunked,
although they suspect it. They
will not know for sure, he said,
until their cases have been re-
viewed by a board of division
medical officers. So far as the
men know, everybody will be
mobilized.
If there are any men who did
not pass their physical exami-
nations, Nichols said, they will
e1 notified before they’re to re-
port for active duty.
Guardsmen have been receiv-
ing examinations each three
years.
Major Gillis Conoley, commu-
nications officer for division ar-
tillery, yesterday was promoted

He stated he requested in June
to be retired at the end of his
20th year of service. He received
his official papers Thursday.
The five men reporting Mon
day will be concerned primarily
with administrative details and
supply, Nichols said. He said ithe
company may have1 to acquire
more equipment.
Guardsmen will hold another
all-day drill this Sunday at the
armory. Another drill will be
held Monday night.
There will be no drill on Sun-

Polk. He did not know how the
equipment would be transferred,
however. “We’ll take all our
property,” he said.

Knight Claims
Nixon Offer
I© Quit Race
Charge Held
'Preposterous'
LOS ANGELES OP) — Former
Gov. Goodwin J. Knight says a
wealthy Republican friend of
Richard M. Nixon’s offered him
•“any job in the state of Cali-
fornia”—if he withdrew from the
1962 gubernatorial race. ,
Knight said Thursday the1 uni-
dentified emissary told him he
could become California’s “chief
justice or anything else you want,
if you won’t run against Dick.”
Nixon denied a virtually identi-
cal charge—by State Democratic
Chairman William. A. Munnell—
at his Wednesday night news con-
ference, when Nixon announced
his candidacy for governor. The
former vice president was un-
available Thursday nighlt for com-
ment on Knight’s accusation, but
Robert Finch, campaign mana-
ger in Nixon’s unsuccessful 1960
bid for the presidency, said of
the report:
“That’s totally preposterous.
There’s never been any discussion
of any such thing.”
Then Knight reaffirmed his ac-
cusation, claiming he had two
witnesses, to the alleged conver-
sation with the go-between. He
added: “At the proper time, if
this story is denied again, I’ll
make their names public.”
Knight said the alleged emis-
sary is “a high ranking Repub-
lican financial leader of Los An-
geles—not a parity official —and
one of Nixon’s closest friends.
He’s been a supporter of mine
in the past,’
Knight gave no indication if—
or when—he would disclose the
man’s identity.
He told this story:
“On Aug. 1, a man called me
to sett up a meeting with Nixon.
“On Aug. 7, I did nre'et with
Nixon at which time he referred
to the man who had arranged ithe
meeting and said, ‘I will commu-
nicate with you always in this
way.’ Nixon said, in substance,
‘We don't want any publicity that
we are meeting.’
“On Sept. 7, this same man
called me from Los Angeles while
I was alt the El Dorado Hotel in
Sacramento. He had been calling
all over ithe state to find me.
He said, ‘Dick’s going to run.’
I had two witnesses in the room
and I had them bend an ear to
the phone so they could hear the
conversation.
“I said, ‘A1 right.’ The man
said, ‘He has asked if you will
meet with him and Bob Finch . . .
‘He said, ‘Dick is willing to
offer you chief justice of the
state supretne court or anything
else you want if you won’t run
againsit Dick.’ I said I was going
to run.”
Knight said he has kept tele-
phone records and can prove
such a call was made to him.
Meanwhile1, Democrats happily
picked up Ithe accusation, hoping
California’s Republicans — al-
though the June 5 primary is still
nine months off — soon would be
flailing away the way Democrats
have done in the past.
Democratic Gov. Edmund G.
Brown, expected to seek re-elec
ition, declared: “If Knight’s
charges are true—and he insists
they are—it is the most shocking
political scandal in the history of
the sitate.
“If Richard Nixon did offer to
sell the highest judicial office in
California for a political favor,
the public exposure of his act
would require that he withdraw7
from the race for governor.”

SAN DIEGO. Calif, (ff) — Two
sailors sealed themselves in a
flooded compartment and saved
their submarine from sinking in
12,000 feet of water, manning the
engine controls until the sub-
resurfaced.
Lt. Cmdr. Harold Skelly, cap-
tain of the submarine Charr, re-
ported the heroic action of the
sailors Thursday.
He said John Joseph McGee of
Chula Vista, Calif., and Douglass
Webster of Kennewick, Wash.,
could easily have been electrocut-
ed as they stood knee deep in
water at the controls.
“There’s about 250 volts back
there,” said Skelly. “You could
get fried standing knee deep in
water, especially salt water.’
The Charr had reached 100 feet
in a dive about 150 miles west of
San Diego Tuesday when its en
gine room flooded. A rubber coup-
ling supplying cooling water to
Ithe four engines broke and poured
sea waiter into the compartment.
McGee gave this account of
what happened.
“The first inkling of any trouble
was a loud rush of waiter, which
I attributed to ithe starboard pro-
peller shaft. I found a break in a
four-inch coupling that was allow-
ing the waiter to fill ithe compart-
ment very fast.
“The main thing was to seal up
the compartment. I shut off the
torpedo room hatch while Web-
ster dogged (tightened) the after-
engine room hatch. I immediately
applied air pressure, letting it in-
to the compartment through sal-
vage valves set at boith ends of
the compartment. I was trying to
hold the water. I got the air up
to atmospheric pressure to slow
down the flooding.”
Skelly said he considered Mc-
Gee’s action saved the subma-
rine.
When the submarine took a 40-
degree up angle to surface, the
water was seven feet deep in the
control compartment. The com-
partment is just above the en-
gine room.
The sub was Itowed to San Di-
ego. Skelly said McGee and Web-
ster could be commended for
action.

CONGOLESE TROOPS MASS ON BORDER
ELISABETHVILLE, Katanga, the Congo—United Na-

Congolese central government are massing near the Ka-
tanga border but said they so far have not crossed.
TEMPORARY U.N. CHIEF SOUGHT
UNIED NATIONS, N. Y.—Western and neutral dip-
lomats joined today in efforts to appoint a temporary
secretary-general after latest U.S.-Soviet negotiations
on the issue broke dQwn.
We know what we are talking
about,” the statement said. “Poli-
cy holders are being told by in-
surance company adjusters that
they must settle their claims for
50 cents on the dollar, or less;
(that they must accept shoddy .and
cheap repair work to their homes
and other property, often at in-
flated prices.”
The House Investigating Com-
mittee voted last week to study
the handling of insurance claims
resulting from hurricane Carla
damage. Rep. Maco Ctewart of
Galveston held public hearings in
Texas City and Galveston Thurs-
day night a:t the request of the
committee.
Norris Parker, head of the Tex-
as Insurance Advisory Associa-
tion, said his group welcomed an
investigation.
Later Daniel said he had been
assured by lawyers of th eadvis-
ory organization thalt its member
adjusters, would “lean over back-
ward ito be fair” with hurricane
victims.
Daniel said Texas insurance pol-
icies do not cover losses solely
by water, and in many cases prob-
lems exist where losses were
caused by both wind and water.
The governor urged that the ex-
ception written in most policies
exempting water losses not be
used to escape the portion of
damage caused by hurricane
winds.
The statement by Brown and
Evans said that in some areas
“policy holders are being told
that they cannot collect anything
at all on policies on which Ithey
have paid in good faith for many
years. These policy holders bought
their insurance with the under-
standing that the companies
would stand behind their prom-
ises. Now adjusters are saying
the promises are nc good.
“The situation has grown so
ugly in some areas—Texas City
for one—that adjusters are going
about their rounds with body
guards accompanying ithem.”
SPOTSYLVANIA, Va. Iff) — A
prior murder conviction may de-
termine whether Melvin Davis
Rees Jr. will escape execution in
the 1959 kidnap-slaying of ia Vir-
ginia family of four.
Death in ithe electric chair was
decreed for Rees, 32, a dance
band musician Thursday by a
Spotsylvania Circuit Court jury
that found him guilty of first-de-
gree murder in the killing of the
head of the family, Carroll V.
Jackson Jr., 29, 2V2 years ago.
But Virginia’s ability to carry
out the judgment depends on the
willingness of the federal govern-
ment to commute two life sen-
tences already imposed on Rees
in the same case.
The life terms were meted- out
earlier this year in U.S. District
Court in Baltimore, where Rees
was convicted of kidnaping and
slaying Jackson’s wife, Mildred,
27, and one of their two daughters,
Susan, 5.
A second Jackson daughter,
Janet, 18 months, also was slain
after ithe Apple Grove, Va. family
was abducted from its car Jan.
11, 1959, in what the prosecution
here called “the worst crime in
Virginia history.” Rees, though
accused by police', never has
been indicted for Janet’s death.

Four Year
Arab Union
Comes to End
BEIRUT, Lebanon <ff) — Syria
reasserted its independence to-
day after less than four years as
a region, of the United Arab Re-
public and set up a new civilian
government supported by rebel
army officers.
President Gamal Abdel Nasser
of the U.A.R. bowed' to the rev-
olutionary command which led
the predawn uprising Thursday.
He announced that he had re-
called troops, planes and war-
ships sent to crush the revolt,
and indicated he would leave to
the Syrians the task of working
out their future.
“The regime of tyranny has
gone forever,” said Damascus
broadcasts proclaiming independ-
ence from Cairo, accusing Nasser
of turning Syria into a prison and
disrupting his claim to Arab
leadership.
Speaking to a crowd of 100,000
in Cairo, Nasser said’ die entire
Egyptian navy, air force and two
army regiments were sent to Sy-
ria but were recalled to avoid
bloodshed when the rebels took
over Latakia,Syria’s chief port.
A party of 120 parachutists,
dropped before getting toe orders
to return, were told to surrender,
Nasser said. The Syrians already
had reported the parachutists
wiped out. One broadcast said 200
paratroopers were wiped out and!
another said 120 commandos were
captured, but both apparently re-
ferred to the same action.
Masser langrily denounced the
rebels as imperialist reactionar-
ies and traitors and said he was
sure the Syrian people would
eventually “preserve their free
principles in the face of capital-
ist dictatorship.”
“We lost some battles,” he said1,
but added his aims of Arab unity
are long-range.
The government of King Hus-
sein, long a foe of Nasser quickly
recognized the new revolutionary
government of Syria, and wished
it success.
Jordan’s action was announced
in Amman immediately after a
Cabinet meeting presided over by
King Hussein.
Dr. Mamoun Kuzbari, 48, a poli-
tician with a long record in Syr-
ian cabinets before the 1958 mer-
ger With Egypt, took over as head
of the new Syrian government
with the blessings of the revolu-
tionary command which staged
the uprising at dawn Thursday.
He announced tire formation of
a Cabinet of technicians, engi-
neers and lawyers with only one
other known politician amdng
them—Leon Zamaria, a rightist
and former finance minister in
the 1955 government of Sabri As-
sail.
Kuzbari is best known as a sup-
porter of former dictator Adib
Shishekly, but also served in a
later leftist regime. He took the
posts of foreign affairs and de-
fense as well as premier.

East German Women
Work on Death Strip
BERLIN (ff) — East Germany i thousands of Communist agents
put girls and women to work to- were reported working to tighten
day at turning sections of Berlin’s security along the common border
East-West border inlto a no man’s
land. West Berliner’s called it
“the death sitrip.”
The women joined thousands of
laborers clearing ground and raz-
ing houses under the supervision
of armed guards along the 25-mile1
sector border. The appearance
of women suggested a manpow-
er shortage in East Berlin.
Female workers * were sighted
along ithe Teltow Canal opposite
the American zone. A number of
fugtitves have escaped Ito freedom
by swimming the waterway.
Communist workers are striving
to turn such areas in suburban
sections of the border into zones
bereft of cover to give Red guards
a clear view of escapees. The rest
of the border has long been
marked by a similar dead zone.
Despite the effort to seal Ithe
border even tighter, East Ger-
mans continued to filter through
to the West. Another 20 persons
were reported ito have made it
across by midnight.
Elsewhere in East Germany,
with West Germany.
A private intelligence1 agency,
Information Bureau West, said
residents of the 835-mile border
have been told to report the pres-
ence of anyone who slips inlto the
three-mile-wide border zone with-
out official permission.
The Communist regime contin-
ued its effort to depict escapees
as victims forced or lured oult of
East Germany.
The East German Foreign Min-
istry accused the United States
of organized kidnaping in evacu-
ating seven refugees from the
Slbeinstuecken enclave by U. 3.
Army helicopter Wednesday.
Steinstuecken is a hamlet lying
a mile from West Berlin. Sur-
rounded by East German terri-
tory, it is part of Weslt Berlin.
The hamlet has become a sym-
bol of Western rights in Berlin
and was visited by Gen. Lucious
D. Clay the day after he took
up his duties as President Ken-
nedy’s special representative in
Berlin.
