Rep. Schweiker Opposes
Elimination Os Chinook
Helicopter In Vietnam
WASHINGTON (UPD — Rep.
Richard S. Schweiker, R - Pa.,
said Monday proposed amend
ments by Sen. Joseph S. Clark,
D-Pa., to eliminate the Army’s
Chinook helicopter from service
in Vietnam would "make sit
ting ducks out of our men.”
"I totally disagree with this,”
said Schweiker, who is Clark’s
opponent in the senator’s bid
for re-election in November.
"By knocking out these heli
copters, we would be endanger
ing the lives of our men in
Vietnam.”
A spokesman for Clark, an
nouncing the amendments
would be introduced in the mili
tary appropriations bill this
week, said the senator felt they
were necessary because "we’re
headed for disaster if we don’t
cut this military spending.”
The giant helicopter has been
used throughout the war to
ferry troops and equipment in
difficult South Vietnam terrain.
Clark and Schweiker were re
luctant to comment on a pub
lished report (the Washington
Post) that the helicopter
amendment and others would
cost Pennsylvania "thousands”
of jobs at defense plants.
"I don’t know if those figures
are accurate,” Schweiker told a
news conference. Clark con
curred.
Schweiker denied a report
Gov. Raymond P. Shafer of
Pennsylvania was not giving
him campaign help.
"I have no criticism of Gov.
Shafer whatever,” he said.
Schweiker also said he felt
the presidential campaign of
third party candidate George
Wallace has been "underesti
timated in Pennsylvania.” He
said he was “continually
amazed at the support Wallace
has” in the state and predicted
the former Alabama governor
would “take 15 to 20 per cent
of the vote” in Pennsylvania.

Waycross Board
Asked To Speed
Desegregation
WAYCROSS, Ga. (UPD-Ne
gro parents petitioned the Way
cross board of education to
speed desegregation of schools
in this south Georgia town, and
prepare to keep their children
home if the board didn’t coop
erate.
A boycott of the city’s 10
schools was to begin today if
the city refused to correct, or
promise in writing to correct
five grievances submitted to the
board Monday.
The grievances centered
around failure of the school
system to comply with a deseg- i
regation plan approved by the
Department of Health, Educa
tion and Welfare, and com
plained that there were three
schools that had only Negro |
students.
”We haven’t had a bit of trou
ble before,” J. E. McLean,
school board president, said.
“This is not a consensus of Ne
gro opinion.”
The board maintained that it
was complying as best it could
with the HEW-approved plan,
but invited the petitioners to
discuss the problems. Me- i
Lean said the plan is effective
through 1970, and that eventual- j
ly the dual system of schools I
would be abandoned.
He said there were 1,500 to
1,800 Negro students In the sys
tem. which has a total enroll
ment of 6,000 in 10 schools, two
high schools and eight elemen-1
tary schools.

Adviser Expects
Nixon To Carry
Farm Vote
WASHINGTON (UPD—One of
Richard M. Nixon’s top farm
policy advisers says Nixon will
carry every farm state but Ala
bama, adding that Alabama
maybe shouldn’t be considered
a farm state.
Sen. Karl E. Mundt, R-S.D.,
cochairman of Nixon’s agricul
tural policy advisers, assured
farmers that while Nixon would
aim at 90 to 100 per cent of
parity—the “fair price for farm
ers’ products compared to their
production costs—he would not
abruptly cancel current farm
programs.
Mundt said Nixon would main
tain current programs of pro
duction controls and price sup
ports “until something better
can be written.
“He wants to prod the Con
gress to act fast,” the South
Dakota senator added.
He repeated the Republican
charge that the Democratic
secretary of agriculture, Orville
L. Freeman, is more concerned
with keeping prices down for
consumers than increasing
farmers’ income.

Smithfield police arrested 22
youths for violating a dusk to
dawn curfew which was im
posed following disturbances
Sunday night which caused an
estimated SIO,OOO damage to
businesses and stores in this
eastern North Carolina com
munity.
Mrs. James Vaughn was hit
in the leg by two shotgun pel
lets shortly before midnight
Monday, but did not require
hospitalization. She told police
she was asleep in her bedroom.
Both shootings occurred about
five miles outside Smithfield
where Mayor John Dail ordered
the curfew and requested state
highway patrolmen to join John
ston County sheriff’s deputies
and local police in restoring or
der.
The trouble began Sunday
night when police blocked a
group of approximately 100 Ne
gro youths who said they were
marching to the Neuse River to
burn a Ku Klux Klan sign.
The youths smashed several
store windows and car wind
shields in a Negro shopping dis
trict near the main crossroads
of the town.
Dail met Monday with City
Counsel, members of the State
Good Neighbor Council and the
Community Development Coun
cil.
Sources said the major causes
of the unrest were the erection
of a Klan sign just outside the
town, the construction of a Klan
booth at the county fairgrounds
and “improper” burials for lo
cal Negroes killed in the Viet
nam war.
Sources said the Klan booth
actually was on private proper
ty adjacent to the fairgrounds.
The burial complaints appar
ently arose over the deaths of
three Smithfield soldiers in Viet
nam. Their parents claimed
they could not bury the victims
in a place of their own choos
ing.
