James EafI Ray Pleads Innocent; Trial Date Is Nov. 12 MEMPHIS Tenn. (AP> - James Earl Ray pleaded innocent today to a charge of assassinating Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. here April 4 and trial was set for Nov. 12; Security officers searched persons who entered the Shfelby County Criminal Courtroom to witness Ray’s arraignment. Hanes had both indictments read-one alleging murder in the first-degree and the other charging Ray with carrying a dangerous weapon.^ Appearing publicly for the first, time since his extradition hearings in London, England, Ray entered his plea through his lawyer, Arthur Hanes of Birmingham, Ala. Ray, wearing a checked blue sport coat and blue slacks, was led into t^ court-^ room at 10:57 a.m7, CDT, and the arraignment proceedings ended 12 minutes later. Ray was returned to his steel-lined, air-conditioned cell block in the county jail. See Earlier Story, Page C-12 At the end of each reading, Hanes said: “My client wishes to enter a plea of innocent ” Ray remained silent throughout the arraignment. He was seated at the counsel table between Hanes and Hanes’ son, Arthur Jr. Behind them sat Sheriff William N. Morris Jr. and two other officers. Judge Preston Battle had told Hanes a plea did not have to be entered today and asked whether the defense wanted a recess. “We will enter a pica to the indictment,” Hanes responded. Battle also asked if Hanes wanted a period of “a few days or a few weeks” to determine when he would be ready to try the case. Canale suggested the Nov. 12 date and Battle asked if it could be set earlier. Hanes said he felt the case would be completed in six weeks — the time between late September and elec^tion day. Dist. Atty. Gen. Phil Canale told the court he had conferred with Hanes about having the trial in late September. But, he said, it might last until the Nov. 5 general election. Under Tennessee law, sequestered jurymen cannot cast ballots. “But I have Tnridea-wbat The prosecuT tion will put on,” Hanes said. “Alright,” Battle responded, set the case for Nov. 12.’’ “Let’s The Weather U.S. Wialhcr Bureau Porei Cooler THE PONTIAC PRESS Home Edition VOL. 12H — XO.

In a ruling Saturday, the high court reversed a decision of Oakland County Circuit Judge William J. Beer that the statute was unconstitutional. Six justices of the court held that the LMislature was within its constitutional limits when it passed a law providing that township officers elected for two years could continue in office 18 months longer. The purpose of the statute is to eliminate a lame-duck period whereby township officers are elected i n November but do not take office until tbe following April. Beer’s action declaring the law void came after three Waterford Township residents filed suit against the township clerk when he refused to accept their nominating petitions for the offices of supervisor, clerk and treasurer. AUTHORITY AT ISSUE Beer ruled that the Legislature was overstepping its authority by lengthening the terms of officers who voters only elected for a specified period. He also said that the three hopefuls were being deprived of their right to run for office. Jack Miles, 16, of 1811 Meadowridge( Commerce Township, is reported in fair condition. Carl Lapham, 25, of 8880 White Lake, White Lake Township, is in .serious condition. In critical condition are Gary Deffendorf, 23, of 9418 Dixie Highway, Springfield Township: Walter Simons, 37, and James Broegman, 19, both of Davisburg. State Police said Broegman and Deffendorf had their clothes blown off by the blast. They were given emergency treatment at Foote Hospital in Jackson before being taken to Ann Arbor. Police reported that other Pontiac area residents injured in the blast included Norbert Mueller, 40, of Birmingham and his daughter, Heidi, 11, who were treated for burns and released for further treatment at Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, and Harvey L.

President Nguyen Van Thieu of South Vietnam did see some prospect, nevertheless, that his army’s power will grow to the point of permitting what he termed a phasing out of some American military units one at a time in 1969. But Jie stressed this would not mean a complete tf.S. withdrawal from the war. ‘ discussions in Paris and called on the other side “to take the road toward peace now open to them” Secretary of Defense Clark Clifford had told newsmen earlier that his talks with Thieu and other Vietnamese officials in Saigon last week had skipped the topic of a complete halt to the bomb- ing of North Vietnam in wder to leave that to Johnson and Thieu.

Birmingham News Flood Control and Prevention Report Is Due BIRMINGHAM - The City Commission tonight will receive reports from the city engineering departinent regarding flood control and prevention in the city. The reports were requested after extreme flooding and other water-related problems occurred following storms that hit Oakland County June 25. Subsequent rains earlier this month added to the problems, so the Engineering Department was directed to make a number of studies. The department has reviewed basement flooding problems which resulted from overloaded sewers. In a report to the Commission on July 15 the engineers recommended that steps be taken to relieve the inadequate Acacia Drain sewer. In addition, the department requested the Department of Public Workds to restrict approximately 75 catch basins in an effort to alleviate basement flooding.

SAIGON (AP) - A new wave of Viet-cong terrorism hit Saigon and two provincial capitals yesterday, killing 13 Vietnamese and wounding 92. Intelligence sources have said terrorist attacks might precede the threatened third major enemy offensive of the year, but the lull in the ground war still continued. Twelve Vietnamese were killed and 91 wounded in the weekend bombing of four theaters, one of them only a block from national police headquarters in Saigon. A large explosive charge set off outside the Saigon theater killed four persons and wounded 52. Also in Saigon, a minor official was assassinated and a 17-year-old boy seriously wounded.

Downtown Pontiac Since 1934 Wor Misdirected, Ex-Officer Tells Milford Audience MILFORD — A former Army helicopter pilot Friday night told 125 to 150 people here that the Vietnam war is being misdirected by uninformed U, S. politicians.

Meanwhile, European and Asian news media emphasize the fact that U.S. forces are unable to defeat communism, he claimed. ‘ Coming across North Vietnamese pharmaceuticals, surgical instruments and other supplies labeled ‘Made -4n-U.S.A.’ was probably the most disheartening experience of the war,” Staton remarked. “Certainly some of these supplies might have been lifted from our own troops on the battlefield, but there is no doubt that a good share of their supplies is made possible by U.S. trade with Communist bloc countries.” Rochester Slates Final Action on Open Housing Shelby Twp.

PnjoRRAiD Treasurer and Finance Olllcer It Seems to Me Approval of Sunday Liquor Will Aid County’s Economy Oakland County Supervisors acted wisely in approving liquor sales on Sundays in restaurants and establishments where , it represents less than half the total revenue. Oakland County is tremendously competitive. / Others seek the same tourist trade. ★ ★ ★ Next to automotive manufacturing, the ..tourist trade represents the biggest segment of our economy. It’s vital to our success and growth. Were Oakland County to jog along the no-Sunday route with adjoining.counties courting the tourist trade and traffic, we’d penalize our n^wn area unfairly^ - ★ ★ ★ Detroit has long suffered as a convention city because of this liquor restriction. Convention delegates often meet on Sunday originally and Michigan has been handicapped. Oaktend Counfy is especially interested in the tourist trade. Our 400 lakes make us a natural resort area throughout the year. Originally, we were comparatively quieten the Winter, but now we have skiing. This is a competitive world. Make no mistake there. Tourists travel with spending money in hand. They select the "areas which appeal and offer the most; 0 a k land County and Michigan must meet the competition face to face. ★ ★ ★ Further, we are a natural gateway to the north. Tourists driving north who hail from the New England states or New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, etCT^j'ound The lower end of Erie and proceed up through Oakland County. Let’s keep them for dinner. Probably they’ll buy more. Why wave them on to surrounding counties? The Supervisors have acted wisely in promoting additional business and prosperity. Post Office Operation ... That idea of taking the post office right out of Government entirely and making it an independent corporation is slowly gaining strength in many sectors. The post office has been a financial burden since the first letter dropped into a wooden box in somebody’s general store. The system runs at a loss. It simply can’t break even. ★ ★ ★ More scientific methods are introduced, services are restricted and theoretical savings abound. But the final figures for each succeeding year are a dismal red deficit. Right now home deliveries on Saturdays are the target. Originally, we got the mail twice a day or 12 times a week, then they cut it to six and now we face an unhappy five. Unwise Plans . . Senator Eugene McCarthy announces that he will visit Paris before Labor Day. He plans to crash the peace talks. TMs is veiy unwise. He has no portfolio. _— -----_____,, ★ All he can do is burst through the doors uninvited and unwanted. The Senator is an outspoken anti-war candidate. Hence, the Vietnamese will regard him with suspicion, distrust and irritation. Senator, stay home. Gate crashers are always unwelcome. And in Conclusion ... Jottings from the well-thumbed notebook of your peripatetic reporter; White Sox baseball players are expressing dissatisfaction with the club’s private airplane. “It’s too slow.” Trips to the coast take several hour,s instead of three or four and the choosy Sox are requesting commercial jets.

David Lawrence Says: Political Confusion Is Prevalent Perhaps the whole department should be incorporated into one great commercial business where the service had to pay its way. As it is now, the postal receipts simply don’t cover the costs. You can’t get a loaf of bread at lesS than cost and you pay full price for your automobile. Why shouldn’t you expect to pay the full cost of your mail service? ★ ★ ★ The bulk of the increases won’t fall on individuals, anyway When Uncle Hiram writes Aunt Mariva in Wisconsin, a few extra cents won’t affect him nearly as much as his share of the unseen and unwanted junk mail which he is compelled to pay for under the present system. The new idea deserves study- Current rates are inadequate. cago or Miami will find it quickly............... There will be a drive in Congress next session to limit Supreme Court justices to eight years. That just might be a constructive move in the light of what we’ve endured of late. ★ ★ ★ Insiders say Edward Kennedy will accept the Number Two spot on a Humphrey ttcket. . . . ......... Overheard; “Statistics say three million Americans aren’t working and the number leaps enormously if you include those with jobs.” ....... ... It comes out now. The reasons computers get so much work done lies in the fact they don’t answer the phone and, they don’t take a coffee break.” . .. . . . .... What’s handier around the house than a helpless man with a checkbook? WASHINGTON - Most people are imfamiliar-, wiles and pressures that actually bring about the nomination of a presidential candidate by a political, party. There is also preval e n t confusion be-1 tween the kind| of campaign which an as- LAWRENCE pirant for the nomination carries on before a convention and what he is up against when he is confronted later by an opponent from another party. Thus, the controversy today between Sen. McCarthy and Vice President Humphrey has little meaning so far as the selection of a president in November is concerned. ★ ★ ★ For the candidate who is nominated at the Democratic National Convention will be chosen by the party leaders in the various states — not just the governors and mayors but the men and women who hold the reins in state, city and county political organizations. There has been an overemphasis, too, on the importance of the primaries. ONLY 11 STATES Only 11 states have presidential - preference primaries, and the bulk o( the delegates from all states will be motivated by factors that have much to do with their own local political contests as these might be affected by straight-ticket voting. Analyzing the present situation in the Democratic contest, Humphrey certainly has a better chance of getting the nomination than anybody vj,else. * ■ * * To-.date it.*would appear that Nixon has the lead for the Republican nomination. The question of which party will win the election is another chapter, and once the conventions are over, the character of the discussion will change. GOP DISSENSION The uncertainty about the outcome in November will be enhanced by the possibility that there will be considerable dissension among Republicans if Rockefeller is nominated, but much less if Nixon is the candidate. This because Rockefeller failed to support t h e Republican presidential nominee in 1964. ; ) ★ ★ ★ These are the factors which will have to be evaluated after the nominees have been selected.

Comments on Reason for Attending Church To ministers, priests and rabbis, please render unto CaeSar what is Caesar’s and unto God what belongs to God. Do not preach politics in church.

Go to the church of your choice to please God. MRS.

Juan is the 17-year-old bus boy who had just shaken hands with Robert Kennedy when an assassin’s bullet struck. Instmctively, he knelt and cradled the Senator’s head. Pictures taken within the next few minutes, before doctors came to replace him, were printed all over the world. •k ■' it k Juan thereby became something of a celebrity—even a hero. This troubles the boy, who is honest enough with himself to know that he did nothing’'heroic. “’Pie people who wrote were very^^v’’ he t()ld an interviewer. “TTiey said that I was good and that they liked me just because 1 was there with him when he was hurt. Here at the hotel, people smile at me \yho never noticed me before. “My mother tells me she is prbud of me, and my sister, she keeps a spapbook of stories about me and letters and even a $10 bill someone sent me^ . . . Some people said they wanted to send some money so I could go to trade school. This was nice. “But I would be a bus boy all my life rather than have such a thing happen to such a good man. I ask my father, but he says I must understand it myself. No one can understand it for me or tell Juan took a few days off to think it over. “But it did not help much,” he said. “People smile at me and say nice things about me, and this makes jne happy. But it is all because Mr. Kennedy was shot, and thi s is very bad . . . “I think you can be happy and be sad all at the same time. 1 thiiik maybe everybody who grows up is this way.” ★ * * Juan deserves admiration, not for bejng at Senator Kennedy’s aWe but because of the Way in which he is reacting to it all. He is finding that there is more, good than bad in the world; that the evil act of assassination has brought an outpouring of genuine sympathy and kindness, part of which has overflowed on him.

Don’t worry about whether she understands or not. If she doesn’t, it won’t harm her, but it will make sense when she does reach the ag" of understanding.

Carry Out Idea Generally Is in Poor Taste By ELIZABETH L. POST Dear Mrs. Post: Recently I had dinner with my .son and his family at a fine restaurant. Two small loaves of fresh home-made bread were served at each table, of which we ate little. The children’s plates contained large breasts of chicken — which they left untouched. * * * Prior to leaving, I requested the waitress to bring me — if available — a wax paper bag. She brought me a bag with the name of the restaurant imprinted on it. I took the remainder of the uncut bread and a large chicken breast and placed them in the bag, which I took with me. Was this a breach of etiquette? I have seen it done many times in good places. — Sheila P. * ■* * Dear Mrs. P.: I do not approve of taking left-over food such as pieces of meat home from restaurants. A loaf of bread from which a slice or two has been cut with a knife, and which had not been on a plate with other food, used utensils, gravy, etc., is another matter. * * ★ Restaurants provide “doggy bags” for bones to be taken to pets, and generally the bags should be restricted to that use.

' Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto In E minor will be performed on the same program. Violin soloist will be Jerome Meadow Brook Concert Is a Triumph of Perfection No doubt he’s the star of the backyard barbecue. Marty Parker of Nakoniis Drive, Orion Township peddles hot dogs “hot off the coals!’’ By BERNICE ROSENTHAL Philippe EntremonI, famous French pianist, was the .soloist with, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra Saturday and Sunday at Meadow Brook. It was concert filled with excitement, punch and drama. . The Jargest audience to ^ate wwr held spell bound by Mr. Fmtremont, whose complete mastery of his instrument makes him one of the few great pianists of the world. * * -k His phenomenal strength and control made the difficult Saint-Saens G minor Concerto flow like water from his hands. - His- exqufsttr pedalling, his precise phrasing, his hammer touch, his sheer brawn and mu.scle encompassed the instrument, the orchestra and the audience and filled the air with the sound of great music, matchlessly performed. CONTRAST To match his strength was great delicacy, sweetness and purity. The second movement of the concerto, which is often quite effete and saccharine, was played with refreshing directness, honesty and humor. It was a flawless, inspired performance, in which the orchestra joined with Mr. Ehrling’s inspired direction. To open the program, the orchestra played Handel’s Suite from the “Royal Fireworks” music. While Mr. Ehrling does not have any great empathy for music of the Baroque period. It was an adequate and even gracious performance, especially in the second and last sectioas. Stravinsky’s warlike “Symphony In Three Movements” is much more to Mr, Ehrling’s taste. He did a masterful job of evoking the strident, bitter images, the brutality and, unrest of the contemporary scene. It is to Mr. Ehrling’s credit that he brings to the audiences of this area, masterpieces which are unfamiliar to them to broaden the scope of musical awareness. FAMILIAR WORK Wagner’s familiar Prelude to Act III of “Lohengrin” was tossed off like a rapid-fire barrage, which gave it a refreshing zest and spirit. Arthur Krehbiel was heard in the beautiful, but fleeting French Horn solos in the Horn Call Motif of Wagner’s “Dawn and Siegfried’s Rhine Journey” from “Die Gotterdammerung” Here Mr. Ehrling called forth all the re.sources of the orchestra in the profound programmatic music which is the height of Wagner's genius. The performance was complete, resounding and inspired. It was a great musical evening at Meadow Brook. * * *• Philippe Entremont will be heard again at Meadow Brook on August 8 and '.'.I.'
