Romney, looking more and more like a presidential candi date, plans a three-week tour of Europe next month which may include stops in Russia. Romney made the announce ment Sunday after a tennis match with Rhode Island Gov. John Chafee that concluded Romney’s weekend of relaxation at his summer mansion. Romney met with Chafee, New York Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller and former Penn sylvania Gov. William Scranton reportedly to discuss his pres idential chances. The European swing, expect ed to include Romney’s first visit to Russia and possibly stops in the Middle East, is being tailored to bolster Rom ney’s foreign policy credentials —an area of some political weakness. Observers said the trip would also allow Romney to bask in the spotlight of international news at a time when President Johnson’s popularity, according to polls is going downhill. Still unannounced as a candi date for the Republican pres idential nomination in 1968, Romney seems to be increasing the tempo of his “long, hard look” at seeking the nomination. Chafee told reporters after the gathering that they were “devoted” to securing the nomination for Romney.

Ca baltica described the condition of Leonard Boyce, 15, who was rescued Saturday after being trapped under rocks and debris for 24 hours in a sandstone well near his home at Lenore, 20 miles from here. Cabaltica said Boyce no long er is on a liquid diet and is “eating everything.” He said nothing is wrong with the boy other than several scratches and a large bruise on his left hip. Taken To Hospital Boyce was taken to William son Memorial Hospital after about 50 rescuers who toiled by searchlights throughout Friday night carefully brought him through the partially caved - in wall of the well at 5:15 p.m. Saturday. Boyce suffered from severe frostbite of all ten toes, sever al scratches and some bruises after his tiring ordeal. Willard Howell, 61, near the well where Boyce was trapped 15 feet below the sur- Attorney Guilty In Garrison Probe By JAY McCUNE NEW ORLEANS (UPD—A five-man jury early today found attorney Dean Andrews Jr. guilty on three-counts of perjury in connection with Dist. Atty. Jim Garrison’s investigation of the Kennedy assassination. Andrews was being tried on charges he lied to the grand jury investigating the assassina tion last March when he said he could not determine whether it was Clay L. Shaw, using the name Clay Bertrand, who phoned asked him to represent Lee Harvey Oswald in Dallas. Andrews showed no emotion when the verdict was an nounced. Earlier while waiting for the jury to return, he turned to his lawyers and said, “perjury, what away to go.” Andrews was the first person to be tried in connection with Garrison’s assassination investi gation. Shaw, charged with conspiring to kill President John F. Kennedy, is the next person to face, vowed, “There’ll never be another well there again.” Soon after the rescue, he had bulldozers fill it, and the tench through which Boyce was car ried to safety, with dirt. Proolng Efforts Nine times during the rescue, dirt and rocks caved in to pro long the efforts. James Wol ford, a correspondent for a Wl liamson radio station and a former Navy medical corps man, gave Boyce three shots to ease the pain and relax him. He noted once that dirt was -completely packed in around Boyce’s head but said the safe ty helmet he was wearing and a wooden cylinder shielding his head probably saved him from being crushed by rocks. Boyce’s father, Ben, 45, stood guard at the top of the well throughout Friday night, talk ing to his son to keep him awake. “I was afraid if he went to sleep, he’d die,” the elder Boyce said. “He’s got more nerve — he just wanted to live so bad.” Leonard’s mother, Faye, 41, also stayed close to the scene of the rescue with her other 10 children. be tried in connection with the investigation. His trial probably will begin in September or October. Andrews faced up to five years in prison. Judge Shea did not say when he would sentence Andrews, but attorneys in the case said sentence might be passed today. Under Louisiana law bond can not be posted prior to sentenc ing.

(UPD — It takes a tough man to ride herd on the moonshiners and gamb lers who flourish in the rural red clay country along the Ten nessee-Mississippi border. Sheriff Buford Pusser is a tough man. A 6-3, 210-pound former wrest ler, the McNairy County sher iff had dodged death half a half dozen times since being elected three years ago. He had been threatened as recently as last month. He dodged death again Satur day, but this time his wife was killed. Pusser escaped with a bullet in the jaw. Pusser got a disturbance call at his home early Saturday and his pretty, blonde wive, Pauline, insisted that she accompany him in case he needed help. It was a trap. As the sheriff’s car headed down a dark county road, an as sassin’s car roared up with its lights off and blazing guns sent lead flying. “He said it sounded like a bunch of machine guns opened fire on him,” said Selmer Po lice Chief Hugh Kirkpatrick. By early today police had questioned several suspects and Kirkpatrick said, “We think we know who’s behind it.” No ar rests had been made. Pusser, who made many ene mies in relentless battle against moonshining, bootlegging and gambling, swerved his car for the shoulder of the road when the first volley rang out, but it was too late. One of the first bullets struck his 33-year-old wife in the head, killing her. The assassin’s car flew by and Pusser, cradling his dead Wife’s head in his lap, headed for help. The car returned, however, and more shots were fired. A bullet struck Pusser in the jaw before the killer’s automobile roared away for the last time, leaving at least 11 bullet holes in the sheriff’s car. Tire burly lawman managed to mumble a call for help into the radio then fled for town. He was found five miles from the shoot ing scene, weak from the loss of blood and in shock from the grief of losing his wife. Pusser, at 29 one of the youngest sheriffs in the state, was taken to a Memphis hos pital where he was reported in satisfactory condition. Despite his age, Pusser was a legend in the tough west Ten nessee flatlands. In three years he had been shot three times, stabbed twice and run down by a moonshiner’s car.

Brandstadt, M.D. Newspaper Enterprise Assn. Good care of your baby’s tender skin helps to prevent rashes. Mothers often contribute to their baby’s skin troubles by putting too many clothes on him, especially in warm weather. In your desire to protect your baby from drafts, don’t forget that he needs some circulation of air around his skin. Also a room that is a little cool is better for both his skin and his general metabolism than a room that is too warm. Don’t dress your baby in nonporous clothing with tight elastic bands. During his nap put a knitted soaker over his diaper rather than rubber pants. This will take up excess moisture and still allow air to reach his skin. If you use a nonporous sheet or mattress cover, • always place an absor bent quilted beneath this and the baby to soak up exces sive moisture. The chief means of preventing skin problems is to keep your baby’s skin clean. If you enjoy giving him his bath he will sense your enjoyment and look forward to it, especially if he ious hazards for men behind bars,” Bentley said. In addition to the three large state prisons, inspectors found critical hazards at county pri son camps in Cobb, Meriweth er, Jones, Coweta, Carroll, Cal houn, Pike, Laurens, Walton, Dougherty and Chattooga Coun ties. The two safest state prison branches were in Chatham and Macon counties. Eight country camps were also in the low hazard group — Colquitt, Chat ham, Burke, Wilkes, Muscogee, Sumter, Screven and Fulton (Alpharetta branch). LAST CALL!!!! FINAL CLEARANCE! all summer mdse.

Whether you sponge or tub your baby, get everything you will need within easy reach before you start the bath. If, after you have started, you find that you have forgotten something, take the baby with you. It is unsafe to leave him alone in the bath for even a few seconds. Use a cornstarch base bath powder in the folds of your baby’s skin after you dry him. This will help to keep the skin dry. It is more absorbent than talcum pwoder and doesn’t form beads in the skin folds. Don’t shake the powder on him direct ly but pour or sprinkle it on your hand then apply it gently so he won’t inhale the dust. Proper laundering of your baby’s clothes Is important in the prevention of skin irritations. Diapers should be treated with an antiseptic rinse. Never use boric acid for this purpose. The rinse will prevent the formation of ammonia in diapers up to 15 hours after they become soiled. If you use a diaper service, choose one that offers this kind of added protection. On warm bright days expose your baby to the sun but protect his face and limit the exposure but there is nothing to be gained by extending the sun bath to more than 10 to 12 minutes a day.
