Mr. A u s tin , a Republican Alderman from the S e c o n d W a rd, was practically in th e front r o w at the Democratic dinner W ednesday n i g h t .

It seems too had to t h i n k that M r. Agnew was the best th e Republican party could nominate for the v i c e presidency. There is no com parison betw e e n Senator M uskie and Mr. Agnew.

Wirephoto) Marines On Bivouac Attacked ByReds; Enemy Beaten Back B y GEORGE ESPER Associated Press Writer SAIGON (AP) - North Viet namese troops attacked U.S Marines in bivouac today near the embattled Thuong Due Green Beret camp but were beaten back within 100 y ards of the Leathernecks’ defensive lines. The enemy troops lost 31 dead in 3W h ours of fighting, the U.S. Command said, but killed eight Marines and wounded 20. The fight r a g e d three miles north east of the Green Beret—Special Forces—camp in jungled foot hills 27 miles southwest of Da Nang. The enemy force, of unknown size, apparently tried to take advantage of predawn darkness and overcast skies that ham pered U.S. jet fighter-bombers in striking back. A U.S. spokesman said the en em y troops attacked with ma chine guns and small arm s and d id not use mortars to cover th i r assault as they often do. “ They were trying to achieve surprise,’ he said. “They tried to sneak up and got caught.” The Marines fought back with sm a ll arms and machine guns, an d artillery units opened up on th e charging North Vietnamese troops. Some American fighter- bombers were able to streak in to support the Marines but the National Guard Forces In Control Of Panama ' PANAMA (AP) - The leader of a bloodless military coup against the 11-day-old govern ment of President Arnulfo Arias said Saturday national guard forces were in complete control of the country. Arias, 67, who has been de posed from the presidency twice before by the guard in the past three decades, took refuge in the U.S.-controlled Canal Zone with m o st of his Cabinet minis ters after the takeover began Friday nigh, t How long he planned to re main there was not known but sources close to him indicated he might return to Panam a City and try to rally popular support to face the guard, the country’s only m ilitary force. Lt. Col. Omar Torrijos identi fied him self and Maj, Boris Martinez, commander of the Chiriqui Province military zone, as leaders of the coup, He said they w ere supported by “all the young officers.” He charged that Arias planned to “enthrone a dictatorship” and convert the guard into a “political instru ment of persecution.” In a shake-up ordered by Ar ias, Torrijos earlier had been relieved as executive secretary of the guard and ordered abroad. Other anti-Arias offi cers were giver, unimportant posts. Torrijos said Arias supporters w e re being rounded up. Clad - in fatigues with his sleeves rolled up, Torrijos said th e next step was to decide whether to set up a militar t a or to “constitutionalize” the coup by calling in F irst Vice President Raul Arango to take th e presidency. Arrango could n o t be located but was reported w ith Arias. Aside from small knots of peo p le at doorways, the city ap peared calm. There was some panic along A Avenue, the street on which the guard’s two-story headquarters is locat ed , when the coup got underway a t 9 p.m. Friday night. Roving guard patrols broke u p any groups they found. There w a s an unconfirmed report that tw o men were wounded on Cen tra l Avenue, the city’s main thoroughfare. A clandestine radio station w a s reported by several listen e r s to be on the air, calling on th e people to rally to Arias’ sup port. Listeners reported the sta tion changed frequency con stantly. Two pro-Arias radio stations w e re closed by the guard. The plant of the morning newspa p e r s La Estrella de Panama an d the Star and Herald was oc cupied by troops. Police Arrest 2 For Training Youths To Steal NAPLES, Italy (AP) — Police arrested two men today on charges of training 12 teen-age boys to be thieves and paying them by the day to steal. Jailed were Giuseppe Amen- dola, 37-year-old truck driver, and Vicenzo lo Sacco, 20-year- old day laborer. Two other men believed linked with them were being sought. Police said the two furnished the ll-to-13-year-old boys with tools for breaking into parked tars and locked houses and paid them 500 lire—80 cents—a day each to steal. Schirra Pulls Rank On Ground Officers; Postpones TV Shots By JOHN BARBOUR AP Science Writer SPACE CENTER, HOUSTON (AP) — Up tight on time and plagued by an autumn cold, command pilot Walter M. Schir ra Jr. delayed television views of his Apollo 7 spaceship Satur day and fired his croft into a tough, complex rehearsal of a desperate rescue from moon or bit. At 12:28 p.m. (CDT), early in the second day in space, Schirra fired the hefty 20,000-pound thrust engine on Apollo 7, gun ning in more power than a jet fighter plane. “ Yaba Daba Dool” he ex claimed. “Thot was a ride and a half.” He fired the rocket for just first tme in space. The firing boosted his ship to a higher, egg-shaped orbit 14 to 226 mile feet per second to its speed. With astronauts Donn F. Ei sele and Walter Cunningham at his side, Schirra’s object is to find optically and by stellar navigation the tumbling second stage of the rocket that shot Apollo 7 into space Friday, then to zero in on it. If is the basic maneuver a moon pilot would have to u se if the space cab taking two astro nauts to the moon’s surface were disabled and stranded in lunar orbit. Should that happen, the tone pilot in the mothership would have to swoop down on the space cab to rescue his fel low fliers. The rendezvous maneuver was a crucial tst for the space ship’s prime engine. It is the one system uboard the space craft which has no backup. For the m o o n flight it must be tested to perfection. E a rlier Schirra, a Navy Cap tain and 45-eyar-old veteran of two other space adventures, was adamant about postpomg te'evision plans His voice husky from his cold, he told ground controllers, “We have a new ve hicle up here. I ’m saying at this point tlevision will be delayed, HfflH Proposes Ten Fold Increase In Funds To Fight Crime, Violence poor visibility prevented satura tion strikes of the enemy posi- tios. Air Force World War II twin- engine C47 cargo planes con verted into gunships also at tacked with rapid firing gatling guns spewing out 6,000 rounds of ammunition a minute. Marines sweeping the battle field at daybreak today were still drawing some enemy fire but it was light and sporadic. This indicated the bulk of the enemy force had pulled hack to fight again when it chose to. The Thuong Due Special Forces camp sits astride enemy infiltration corridors leading into Da Nang, South Vietnam’s second largest city, and other population centers along the coastal lowlands. Allied officers estimate that anywhere from 5,000 to 7,500 North Vietnamese troops, are operating between Thuong Due and Da Nang. Elsewhere, allied ground and air forces battled enemy troops on two sides of Saigon and the fringes of the demilitarized zone Friday, killing 107 enemy soldiers in four sharp clashes, military spokesmen reported. Eighteen miles south of Sai gon, U.S. infantrymen from the 9th Division, supported by heli copter gunships firing rockets and machine guns, reported kill ing 41 enemy soldiers in a swirl ing four-hour fight in a series of rice paddies. Five Americans were killed. By HARRY KELLY Associated Press Writt r NEW YORK ,AP) - Hubert H. Humphrey pledged Saturday that as president he would pro pose a 10-fold increase in fed eral funds to fight crime, vio lence and disorders—but ac cused his Republican opponent, Richard M. Nixon, of fooling himself and the public in his crime proposals. Humphrey, in a televised speech advertised as a m a jor policy pronouncement on law and order, noted widespread concern about rising crim e rates,riots and disorders, say ing: “I know you are distressed and outraged by the riots and disorders in many of our cities, and so am I.” Humphrey said, however, that “Americans don’t want a na tional police force” which he said could lead to a police state, “and we won’t have a police state if I am your president.” Humphrey came down hard on law and order in his pre pared speech—much of which was devoted to proposals con tained in previous statements and speeches. The first obligation of govern ment, said Humphrey, is “to provide for the safety of every American in his home and neighborhood,” and he added: “ Grabbing guns, throwing firebombs, cynically discredit ing America’s institutions and insisting on racial name-calling is not progress,” he said. Humphrey repeated his asser tion that legislation would be needed—and as president he would propose it—“if this trend toward guerrilla bands and vigi lantes continues.” ' He accused both Nixon and third-party candidate George C. Wallace of playing upon the fears and emotions of the Amer ican people. He repeated his challenge to Nixon and Wallace to debate the national issues on national tele vision. Humphrey said that society must be willing to pay the bill for better police, courts, prisons and crime fighting in general. Local property taxes, said Humphrey, do not provide the funds to meet urgent law en forcement needs and he would propose a federal revenue shar ing program with the states and cities. If elected president, Hum phrey said he would propose to Congress in January “ a 10-fold increase in funds available un der the Safe Streets Act passed this year—an increase from $62 million to $620 million.” Crime cost Americans $27 bil lion last year, said the vice president and, “for a sm all frachion of this amount, we can sharply reduce this tragic loss, save lives, p rotect property and help banish fear.” Hump'..'ey, recovering from what was described as a mild, intestinal flu, nonetheless can celled a visit to Harlem and an appearance in New York’s Co lumbus Day p arade. Aides said he spent most of the day work ing on the law and mrder spe without any further discuss’on, until alter the rendezvous.” A ground controller argued “All we ve agreed to do on this particular pass is to flip the (television) switch on. No other activity is assocaited with TV. I thmk w e ’re still obligated to do that.” Schirra’s voice turned hard and he spoke in rapid, clipped tones “ We fo not have the (television) equipment out. We’ve not hod it out. We have not eaten at this point. I have a cold. I refuse to foul up our timelines at this p o int.” There was a 35-second siience, and then controllers changed the subject. That settled it. Schirra had been against in priorities in the spacecraft oper ation, and in this first critical 11-day flight of Apollo, televi sion corries a low priority. Echirra had been against toclud* eluding the television camera in the first place because it would produce an inferior pic ture. I ts low scan r a t is trans lated into a blurred, jerky pic ture on fast scan commercial television. Schirra’s cold was obviously a nuisance to him. He took two as pirin from the spacecraft’s med icine chest Friday night, and on doctor’s orders took a deconges tant before his sleep period, anf another Satucday morning. “All the' decongestant does . is shrink the membranes and ! >p the runny nose,” a space doctor said. Lawmakers fla p p e d F o r N o t M in g B y MALCOLM BARR Associated P ress Writer WASHINGTON (AP) - Atty. Gen. Ramsey Clark says those congressional voices that cried “havoc from the rooftops” about law and order did the most to thwart the Johnson ad ministration’s crim e control measures. In an interview as the .Oth Con gress prepared to adjourn, the nation’s top law enforcement of ficial criticized what he colled the lack of constructive action by b o th the House and Senate on efforts to combat crime. For instance, Clark declared, “to this day the Senate has sat on nominations essential to the implementation of crime con trol. And the m a n who cried the most about law and order has prevented the disbursement of literally millions of dollars that are available now to local law enforcement to protect the pub lic.” Although Clark did not identi fy the senator, he apparently r e ferred to the lack of Senate ac tion on the nomination of Pa trick V. Munphy, the District of Columbia’s public safety direc tor, as head of a new agency— the Law Enforcement Adminis tration Agency — formed under the 1968 Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act. The agen cy w a s formed to handle a pro gram of federal grants to strengthen local police forces. Exhibit Will Close Monday?

FLORES Ussociated Press Writer SAO PAULO, Brazil (AP) - A U.S. Arm y captain who was a Vietnam veteran was machine- gunned to death by two self- styled Brazilian revolutionaries Saturday in front of his 9-year- old son. The victim was identified as Capt. Charles Rodney Chandler, 30, of Arcadia, La. His son, Dar ryl, told police the men riddled his father’s car with machine gun bullets as he was backing it out of the family garage and then sped off in a small white automobile. The assassins left leaflets scattered near the body, accus ing Chandler of being a “Viet nam w a r criminal” and of being in Brazil to “train war crimi nals and show them the most advanced techniques of torture and cruelty.” Chandler’s wife and three oth er children were in the house during the shooting. R o b ert Corrigan, the Ameri can consul, said Chandler had spent a year in Vietnam. He said the captain was scheduled to peave Brazil in November to take a teaching post at the U.S. M ilitary Academy at West Point, N.Y. Chandler was in Brazil “strictly on civilian status,” said Corrigan, studying Portu guese and Brazilian history at the University of Sao Paulo un der a two-yea' Olmsted Scholar ship. He said Chandler always wore civilian clothes and had “no m ilitary training functions of any kind.” Negroes Select Own Queen For Big Fetivities LOS ANGELES (AP) - A N e - gro self-help group, given a toy factory for a third birthday present, plans to have Negro dolls coming off the assembly line b y next month, M attel, Inc., a toy company, started the factory a t a cost of $15O’0QO, trained Negro e-m ployes, then gave it to Operation Bootstrap Friday.
