Poge 2 The News-Review - Thurs., Dec. 5, 1963 Civil Rights Group -Threatens New Move WASHINGTON (UPI) -A Ne gro leader said today after meet ing with President Johnson that church sit-ins might be the next course of antidiscrimination demonstrations if a Senate fill buster occurs over civil rights legislation. A. Philip Randolph, fifth Nc gro leader to be invited to the White House to see Johnson in less than a week, told nfws- men of possible "people's edu cation filibusters" in churches, with round-lhc-clock meetings, in event a talkathon stalled the legislation. Johnson breakfasted earlier Airmen Relate Negro Attack On Barracks t- WILLIAM BOYD United Press International EVREUX, France (UPI) Five American airmen told an Army court martial today that a group of Negro soldiers armed with steel pipes and sticks raided an air force bar' racks the night a white airman was' killed. The airmen testified at the trial of two Negro soldiers charged with unpremeditated murder in the death of Airman 1. C. Robert Padgett, 23, of Woodlawn, Va., on Sept. Padgett was white. Four other soldiers, ' one of them white, will be tried on the sumo charge at a later date. Wednesday defense attorney Capt. Norman II. ' Kirschman said ho intended tp try to prove that tho fight in which Padgett died .was precipitated by racial slurs. American officials have called tho Incident a drunken barracks brawl.. . : Accused of assault and un premeditated murder were Pfc. Raymond C. Bost Jr., Pitts burgh, and Pfc. Robert Burrell, with House Republican Leader Charles A. Halleck who predict ed House passage of the civil rights bill next month. This was the second successive day that Johnson had held a secretive session with Republcan con gressional leader and got i pledge of help toward passage of the rights bill. Randolph, who organized the "March on Washington" by mure than 200,000 Negroes i Au gust, told newsmen he did not mention the "people filibuster' in his talk with Johnson. He said these deonstrations would be sponsored by the over-all committee of the Washington march and would be conducted in most major cities. He said the sit-ins would be staged in churches by white and Negro supporters of the civil rights bill. The signal for them to start, he said, would be a filibuster on Capitol Hill. Randolph said he had a com prehensive discussion of the leg islation with Johnson - Johnson stopped by Halleck's house and picked him up on the way to the White House shortly before 9 a.m In addition to civil rights, the Chief Executive concentrated on a broad spectrum of prob lems both national and inter national.

Discharged Mrs. Horman Wicks, Claude Jury To Start Deliberations On Thompson MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (UPI) Six men and six women were expected to begin deciding to day whether T. Eugene Thomp son's pretty heiress wife was killed at bis request or died in a burglary in the approaching climax of one of the genera tion's most celebrated murder trials. Prosecutor William B. Ran dall and defense attorney Hyam B. Segell were to present clos ing arguments today, followed by Hennepin County District Court Judge Rolf Fosseen's de tailed instructions to the jury. Segell was expected to take more time in his closing re marks, in contrast to his brief presentation of witnesses to the jury. More than 100 witnesses took the stand during the first de cree murder trial, which is in Its sixth week. Most were called by the prosecution. It contends Thompson, 26, masterminded the slaying of Carol Thompson,, 34, last March 6. His motive, the state charged,! was to collect the more than Si million insurance he had bought on his wife's life, most of it in the past 13 months, and to be free to resume an affair with his former mistress. The defense contends that Mrs. Thompson was beaten and stabbed to death by Dick W. C. Anderson, 35, during a burglary at the Thompson's $40,000 home! in the fashionable Highland Park section of St. Paul. It was expected the jury would have only three alterna tives. It could find the boyish looking Thompson guilty of first degree murder, it could find him innocent or it could fail to reach a decision. First degree murder convic tion carries a life in prison sen tence in Minnesota, which abol ished the death penalty more than 50 years ago. 1 GET DAD TO BABY SIT!
