MIAMI, Fla.—Coins dribble through hands of fireman examining hidden hoard of cash and
valuables when fire struck abandoned home here. More than $35,000 was found, mostly in bundles
of bills wrapped in rubber bands (foreground). Unknown additional amount was lost in flames.
House was empty since owner, 69-year-old rag-picker Otto Macon, was committed to nursing
home last year as mental incompetent. Macon’s attorney was expected to seek court ruling on
what to do with the hoard. (UPI)

Students charge
premeditation
By LAURA FOREMAN
BATON ROUGE, La. (UPI)
—Southern University students
who have protested school
policies for three weeks said
Sunday they overheard sheriff’s
officers say they were going to
“put an end to this mess” the
day two students were killed in
a confrontation with police.
Gov. Edwin Edwards, East
Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff Al
Amiss and school President G.
Leon Netterville have denied
there was any plan to force a
showdown with the demonstrat
ing students.
The charges Sunday were in
a statement prepared by the
Southern University-New Or
leans Student Government As
sociation. The demonstrations
had been most severe on the
New Orleans campus, but
shifted to the Baton Rouge
campus Thursday when
students took over the adminis
tration building.
When officers began lobbing
tear gas into the crowd of
students, several of the young
persons ran. Two died and one
was wounded when they were
hit by either pellets from a
shotgun or fragments of a
bomb.
“The entire massacre was
premeditated,” the student
government statement said.
“Students who were at the jail
house attempting to get the
student leaders out of jail
overheard the sheriff specifical
ly state: ‘I am getting tired of
those niggers. We are going to
put an end to this mess
today!’”
Edwards in a separate news
conference Sunday said it was
possible poorly trained deputy
sheriffs who were “scared to
death” shot the students, but he
added it was possible they died
from bombs or guns fired by
other students.
The governor ordered an
investigation “in an effort to
get to the truth.”
During a luncheon Saturday
Edwards was quoted as saying
he was convinced deputies had
killed the students.
“We’ll probably never know
which deputy fired the shot,”
Edwards was quoted by Nocho
las C. Chriss in the Los Angeles
Times. “I have no doubt it was
a deputy sheriff who fired. The
average parish (county) law
enforcement is not very good in
Louisiana. They (deputies)
don’thave any training.”
Edwards denied the quotes.
He said they were taken out of
context.
Netterville said that just
before the occupation of the
administration building, he had
agreed to meet with a few
students to discuss their
grievances.
“In a few minutes I went
back to answer a telephone
call...and in those few minutes
a big crowd rushed in,” the 67-
year-old Hack educator said.
He said he was not then or
later afraid for his life, nor did
he call for sheriff’s deputies, as
Edwards claimed.

Pentagon to start
drug abuse program
WASHINGTON (UPI) -A
congressional investigator says
that despite widespread opposi
tion the Pentagon still plans to
launch a voluntary drug abuse
testing program for dependents
of U.S. military personnel
stationed abroad.
In a report compiled for a
Senate Armed Services subcom
mittee, investigator Julian
Granger said the urinalysis
testing will be instituted for
dependents in Frankfurt, Bang
kok and two American bases in
the Philippines.
Granger’s report, released
Sunday, said the tests would be
the same type now compulsory
for military personnel. They
would detect traces of heroin,
amphetamines and barbitu
rates.
“In spite of the negative
reactions expressed to use, and
reportedly to the Department of
Defense, by all groups directly
concerned,” the report said,
“information received by the
subcommittee indicates that
department officials are still
hoping to proceed with testing
programs.”
Granger, who summarized his
two-week trip to American
military bases in Germany last
August in which he studied
drug and alcohol problems, said
he “encountered no parent who
supported” the tests. “In fact,
among all the groups...with
whom I spoke, it seemed to me
that the overwhelming majority
were strongly opposed to it.”
Granger did not say now he
learned the Pentagon planned
to proceed with the dependent
testing program or when it
would begin.
Granger said he talked with
“scores of teen-agers, parents,
educators, military doctors,
lawyers and command offi
cials”.
“They were acutely aware of
the problem of drug abuse
among military dependents but
convinced that this plan was

the wrong approach and that it
would have harmful consequen
ces for the dependent himself,
for the military father, for
family relationships and for the
dependent schools system,” he
said.
