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.

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.
At 3 p.m. EST, he presides
for the first time as President
at a meeting of the National
Security Council, It has been
arranged that Speaker John W.
McCormack, D-Mass., next in
lino of succession to the prcsi
dency, attend council meetings
and other top-drawer sessions
on national security to keep
him informed in case of an
emergency.'
Johnson was also scheduled
to meet with Gen. Maxwell D
Taylor, chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, for further dis
cussion of defense matters at
4 p.m. , j
The President also had an ap
pointment listed with Anthony

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
