GORDON, Ga. «P»-For-mer President Dwight D. Eisenhower, 75, was hospitalized today with a possible mild heart attack and placed in an oxygen tent after suffering chest pains. Dr. Thonias Mattingly, a heart specialist who treated the five-star general for a heart attack in 1955, said it would take up to SC hours before it would be known whether Eisenhower had suffered another bout with his heart. But, Mattingly said, if the illness was a heart atUck, “by all symptoms and characteristics, it certainly was a mild one.” Tlie former president was placed in an oxygen tent for several hours after he entered the Ft, Gordon Army Hospital during the night. At mid-day Mattingly said he still was under oxygen periodically. w * * This, the physician said, is “a matter of precaution used with any patient with chest pains." ‘VERY SATISFACTORY’ He described Eisenhower’s condition as "very satisfactory at this time" and said the general remained in bed “at our recommendation, not because he doesn’t feel like getting up. “We think this is simple, good, common sense.” After sleeping several hours, Eisenhower awoke and chatted with his wife, who was with him along with their son. Mattingly, summoned to Eisenhower’s bedside early today, spent hours in consultation with other physicians and told newsmen that it would be 24 to 36 hours before he could determine whether there had been a heart attack, COMPLAINS OF PAINS Eisenhower fell ill at his va- cation home at the Augusta National Golf Course near here, complaining of chest pains.

Fifty-eight of the 62 persons aboard were killed. Five persons were thrown clear of the burning wreckage but one died later. The other four were reported in fair to serious condition in nearby hospitals. Forty bodies, many charred ^and broken, had been carried down the rugged hillside on canvas stretchers to a makeshift morgue at the Cincinnati airport. DISASTER TEAM The Federal Bureau of Identification sent its disaster squad, made up of FBI identification experts, to the scene to. help in identifying the victims. The squad was assigned at the request of the airline and local authorities, the FBI said. Tbe top of the plane’s fuselage had been ripped off and one worker said the cockpit was “burned beyond recognition.” “It is beyond me what causectp^* the fuselage to fly apart like that,” said one member of a federal aviation crew. BLAST THREAT For seven hours, workers were held back from the wreckage by the white hot flames which melted the metal of the plane and caused fear of possible further explosions. Fourteen hours after the crash, the wreckage still smoldered. The crash was reported at 7 p. m. (EST). Airport firemen where the morgue was set up said they found one watch on a passenger had stopped at 7:81 and another at 7:10.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1963 Court Is Asked to Revive Rights Killing Indictments WASHINGTON (AP) —TlielChaney to wh^ he government asked the Supreme Court today to revive felony indictments in the 1964 Philadelphia, Miss., slaying of three civil rights workers. Solicitor General Thurgood Marshall said there can be no doubt that the three young rights workers were victims of a conspiracy to deprive them of their constitutional rights. ★ And, Marshall said, there is no doubt three local law officers used their offlcial power to release Michael Schwemer, Andrew Goodman and James UAW Aide Predicts '67 Wage Push ficial Of the United Auto Workers Union predicted Monday that the union would push strongly for substantial wage increases or possibly prcrfit-sharing when the current contract expires in the industry in 1967. Martin Gerber, regional direc-toa of the UAW fw upstate New York, New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania, made the prediction after a dinner with 22 staff membo-s at the Hotel Statler Hilton. Gerber contended General Motors Corp. could double the present average $3-an-hour wage of auto workers and still make a |1 billion annual profit. The union chief of 100,000 auto workas in this region said his studies have shown that the increase of the industry’s profits are in direct proportion to the wage increases given auto workers. Gerber said apparently the wages were going into the naticmal economy and creating more auto sales. FRINGE BENEFITS A contract signed in October, 1964, and which wiU expire Oct. 31,1967, emi^iasized fringe benefits including insurance and vacations rather than wages, Gerber said, adding that the emphasis ia the new contract would be on substantial wage creases. He said he would present his views to the UAW International Executive Board convention next May. * ★ ★ The UAW is conducting week - long regional meeting at the hotel. Earlier Monday, Gerber said the record - making profits of GM, Ford and Chrysler in the first nine months of this year Ijmch mdb.^ Marshall, a Negro who once was chief counsel for the National Association for the advancement of Colored People, argued that the federal government properly used an 1870 civil rights law to pursue punishment of the three law officers and 14 others. Hie 95-year-old law has been the federal government’s only available weapon in such cases. ‘IMPROPERLY USED’ If the justices rule, as two lower federal judges already [have, that the law was improperly used, the federal government will be powerless to act in such instances unless Congress provides new legislation. In addition to the ase, the courts ruled the government in the slaying of Lemuel Penn on a Georgia highway the same year. ★ ★ Referring to the slaying of Schwerner, Goodman and Chan-' cident,” Marshall said Congress in 1870 ciearly meant to have that law provide protection against infringement of all con-titutional rights, including rights under the 14th amendment. It is this amendment which guarantees Americans the protection due process of law. And Marshall contended the three rights workers were deprived of this right. NOT INTENDED In asking the Supreme Court to deny the appeal, defense attorney H. C. Mike Watkins from Meridian, Miss., said the 1870 law was not intended to cover interference with the “natural rights” o[ citizens. “Certainly equal protection under the law is the right of every American,” Watkins told the nine justices. But, so far as one person harming another, punishment is reserved to the states” by the Constitution, Watkins argu^. His major argunoent was that the Reconstruction law prohibits only conspiracies to deny rights that stem from the power of the federal government. Murder, unless committed on federal territory, is a state offense. TORONTO (AP) - It was an election hardly anybody wanted, and it solved nothing.

Moxley, under fire this past week for his investigation of a novel for obscene material, last night received a vote of confidence for his action. The support came from c commissioners but mainly was the majority of the spectators jamming the commission chambm who applauded while he explained Ms pc^tion. Hie controversy began last that Moxley had taken two copies of a book entitled “The Last Temptation of Christ” from the Donbleday bookstore lastJniie. Though accused by some of confiscating the books, Moxley did not defend his action in detail until last night. Re had said that he wanted to make a coni: plete report to the commission before making any public statement. ■I do not believe that Chief Moxley’s action was improper.’^ He said Moxley had been treated unfairly by those without all the facts. TOOK ACTION 'Our citizens should be pleased that Moxley took the action he did rather than what he was charged with,” said Page. Moxley, who said he did not consider himself a “emsader or a do-gooder,” added “I do not feel that I have done anything unorthodox or illegal.” “But I intend to uidiold the law as best as I can.” ♦ a, ‘If we did not conduct investigations, be it books or burglaries, we would be derelict in our duties,” Moxley added. ★ * ★ ‘As long as I am cMef I will do everything to control porno-grapMc literature.” He explained that he was given the books voluntarily by a clerk when he asked for them so they could be reviewed by his department and the city legal counsel. MATTER DROPPED The incident occurred June 4, according to Moxley, and the matter was dropped June 16, after he. Mayor Robert Page and the city attorney decided they would make no determination on whether or not the book was obscene. “The book is still on sale and has never been restricted,” said Page. “No one moved the book,” he said. Conunissioners Carl Ingraham and David Breck criticized the handling of the incident in that Moxley asked that the book be removed from the shelves before ccmducting the investigation. “As much as I like Ralph Moxley, I don’t want him to determine what books I can read,” said Ingraham. Breck said the fact that a police officer asked for the books to be removed resnUed in a form of coercion. Page, while admitting the in-ddent at Doubleday’s “may have been handled badly,” said. > suppress Burglar Beats Area Woman in Her Home A West Bloomfield TownsMp woman was beaten by a burglar in her home yesterday afternoon.

LEGAL FEES A group from Crooked Lake in Barry County said it had spent $20,000 in legal fees just trying to start a reclamation project. It still isn’t off the ground, witnesses said. Groups from West Lake, Long Lake and Austin Lake in Kalamazoo County complained of water levels and lake aging, a natural deterioration process that fills the lakes with silt, peat and marl. ★ ★ * Most witnesses agreed that Public Act 140, a state law designed to aid lake reclamation projects, had too many loopholes to be practical. ’Hie biggest drawback in the law was financing, they said. The law does not make it possible for county or township governments to pledge faith and credit for long-term dredging or drainage projects, said one man. * ★ ★ Snyder said his committee would meet in January Lansing to consider the findings of the hearings. 4neJijding Flood Relief JOHNSON CITY, Tex. (AP)|Louisiana, Mississippi and Flor-jearly — President Johnson hasijda. If they qualify for disasterjSaid: cleared his desk of all 1965 ieg-||ggj,j Small Business islation, including one bill that Administration or Agriculture Department, up to $1,8M of principal repayments and interest will be written off the books. LBJ Signs Last ol '65 Legislation could lead to insurance for millions who now cannot buy protection against floods or hurricane-driven waters. Johnson, the Texas White House announced Monday night, signed all pending legislation well in advance of a midnight deadline — and without allowing any measure to die by pocket veto. * * * After a bill reaches the President, he has 10 days in which to sign or veto it or, after Congress has adjourned, to let it die by inactiop. Press secretary Bill D. Moyers said Johnson noy/ has acted on all measures Congress passed before adjournment. One of the final bills to get Johnson’s signature provides special federal aid for many victims of Hurricane Betsy in UNINSURED LOSS The special aid is intended for hurricane victims who suffered losses for which no commercial insurance was available, such as damage from flood, high water or wind-driven water. In the long run, the new law may have greater significance because it authorizes an immediate study by the new Department of Housing and Urban Development to devise a permanent plan for protection against uninsurable disasters. ‘Such a basic study is long overdue,” Johnson said statement. As for damage wrought by Hurricane Betsy, which struck in September, Johnson I am advised that the property loss will probably equal or exceed the loss in any other disaster in the past two decades.” IMPORT MACHINES In a second statement, Johnson reasserted that he will again ask Congress next year to pass general legislation permitting educational and scientific institutions to import scientific and technical instruments and apparatus free of duty. He said the fact that he had signed 14 individual bills in recent days which dealt with individual cases underscored the need for broad legislation. * ★ ★ Two bills signed Monday were in that category. Among the other new laws gned were ondh expanding the federal vocational rehabilitation program, setting sugar quotas, increasing by $120 million the authorized revolving loan fund of the Small Business Administration and another calling Congress back to work at noon next Jan. 10. STRENUOUS DAY Moyers said Monday was Johnson’s most strenuous day since his Oct. 8 gallbladder-kidney stone surgery. Besides handling a lot of desk work, Johnson flew to his old school Southwest Texas State College in nearby San Marcos — to sign a $2.6-biIlion bill aiding higher education. After the day was over, said Moyers, Johnson felt tired. I, Mch with official amblam of a Bi( Tan achool. TEN BIG TEN GLASSES-ONLY $1.25 (A crystal clear offer from Marathon) We’d like you to try us.
