Martens Talks With
Grand Jury About
Assassination Case
By M. GENE MEARNS
United Press International
l>
NEW ORLEANS (UPI) —
Layton Martens, detained by
the FBI and the Secret Service
three days after the assassina
tion of President Kennedy,
testifies today before a grand
Jury hearing testimony in Dlst.
Atty. Jim Garrison’s investiga
tion.
Martens, 24, has made
statements contradicting infor
mation released In Garrison’s
probe of the assassination.
Martens was arrested Nov.
25, 1363, at the apartment of
David W. Ferrie along with
Ferrie and Alvin Beauboeauf,
following their trip to Brown
sville, Tex. They had left New
Orleans the day of the
assassination.
New Orleans police records
said all three were ordered held
for the FBI and Secret Service
for suspected “subversive acti
vities” in connection with the
assassination.
Ferrie’s Friend
Martens said in a television
interview made public last week
that he was a roommate of
Ferrie’s during mid-September
1963, when the alleged conspira
cy against Kennedy was being
hatched. He said he never met
any of the principals.
Two other persons with
statements contradictory to
Garrison’s were being sought
today as material witnesses in
the investigation.
In Omaha, Neb., today, Mrs.
Little Mae McMaines, formery
known in Garrison’s probe as
Sandra Moffitt, was to tell a
Judge whether she would fight
extradition back to Louisiana as
a material witness.
Gordon Novel, 29, was the
object of searches in Ohio,
Virginia, Illinois, Missouri and
possibly other states.
Quash Bail
Attorneys for Novel were to
ask Criminal I. District Court
Judge Edward Haggerty to
set aside the warrent for
Novel’s arrest and quash the
bond of $50,000 set to assure his
appearance before the grand
jury.
In another development Tues
day night, author Mark Lane,
whose “Rush To Judgment” is
a best seller, said after
conferring with Garrison that
Garrison would rock the nation
when he disclosed his assassina
tion case in a court trial.
Lane also said Garrison would
show there was more than one
gunman in Dallas Nov. 22, 1963,
and that Lee Harvey Oswald
was not the one who fired the
fatal shot.
“Mr. Garrison knows who
killed President Kennedy, he
knows who organized the plot. .
. he knows what forces are
involved. And I know he knows.
This information stands up very
solidly.”

Strike
Hits
Teevee
By RICHARD V. OLIVER
United Press International
NEW YORK (UPI) —Th8
American Federation of Televi
sion and Radio Artists struck
the nation’s three major radio
and television networks today.
All live programming, notably
news shows, soap operas and
daytime panel programs, was
expected to be affected by the
walkout, the first nationwide
AFTRA strike in the performer
union’s 30-year history.
AFTRA represents some
18,000 members, including just
about everyone who appears
regularly on camera and before
microphones—staff announcers,
“on the air” newsmen, actors,
singers and dancers.
The union called the strike
and ordered picket lines set up
at 5 a.m. EST today after
negotiations with the American
Broadcasting Company, the
Columbia Broadcasting System,
and the National Broadcasting
Company broke down Tuesday
night. No new meetings were
scheduled.
“There’s no stopping it now,”
said Ken Groot, executive
secretary of AFTRA’s New
York local. We’re on strike.”
The chief issue in the
negotiations was the union’s
demand for more pay for about
100 staff newsmen who work at
network-owned stations in New
York, Chicago and Los Angeles.
The networks planned to have
supervisory personnel act as
announcers and newscasters. In
the place of live programs, old
tapes were to be shown, but
shows taped after Nov. 18, 1966
may not be used, according to
an earlier agreement between
AFTRA and the networks.
The newsmen were seeking a
base salary of $300 weekly plus
50 per cent of all commercial
fees from sponsored programs
in which they appear. At
present, they have negotiated
contracts on an individual basis.
The networks’ final offer was
for a weekly base salary of $300
plus 25 per cent of all fees
earned, with the 25 per cent
distributed over the three-year
contract.
France Puts
Nuclear Sub
Into Water
CHERBOUGH, France (UPI)
—President Charles de Gaulle
today launched France’s first
nuclear-powered submarine, an
8,000 ton giant named Le
Redoutable which is nearly
equal in size to the largest
American Polaris submarines.
When armed with 16 nuclear
tipped ballistic missiles and
operational a scheduled three
years hence, the submarine will
be a basic addition to De
Gaulle’s force de frappe (strike
force) of supersonic nuclear
armed bombers and planned
ballistic missiles.
The 420 - foot submarine
slipped down the skids at
Cherbourg’s government-operat
ed shipyard where it has been
abuilding since 1958.
De Gaulle travelled the 200
miles from Paris for the
launching. Security precautions
in the drab port city were
strict. Security police roused
sleeping guests in every hotel
room in the city this morning at
6:30 for an identity check.
Missing at the launching was
the traditional bottle of cham
pagne. Instead De Gaulle
pressed a button to launch the
ship.
He chose not to smash a
bottle of bubbly across the bow
of Le Redoutable which he
ordered built as soon as he
came back to power in 1958 at
the start of the Fifth Republic.
Possibly De Gaulle decided the
big boat was too valuable for
even a scratch.
It Is nearly equal in size and
ballistic missile potential to
America’s biggest Polaris sub
marines, the Lafayette Class.
French Navy officials ex
pressed pride in its building,
calling it a formidable achieve
ment for their country to join
American. Britain and the
Soviet Union in having atomic
powered undersea craft.
But Le Redoutable will be a
lame duck for three years.
France’s first fully operational
ballistic missile is not schedule
for completion before 1970.
SURPRISING RESPONSE
VALPARAISO, Ind. (UPI >
Officials at the Dunes state
Park had asked for volunteers
to help clean up the Lake
Michigan beRCh playground and
went to the Boy Scouts.
Boy Scout, leaders figured
they might get 300 volunteers.
But there were more doers of
good deeds than they thought.
About 3,000 youths had signed
up by Monday to take on the
cleanup detail.
