(UPD - A slender gun fancier, charged by the state with murder in the sniper slaying of Negro leader Medgar Evers, faced a federal hearing today on civil rights charges growing out of the case. Byron De La Beckwith, 42, was arrested by FBI agents Saturday night on the federal charges, and the state slapped the murder charge on him Sunday. Beckwith was scheduled to ap pear before U.S. Commissioner John R. Countiss III today in a hearing to determine whether there are grounds for charges he and others conspired to deprive Evers of his civil rights. The murder charge, however, will have priority over the lesser federal charge. Evers, state field secretary for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), was shot to death out side his house on June 12 when he returned from a civil rights rally. Prints Match Beckwith, a fertilizer salesman, was arrested at Greenwood, Miss, after the FBI said a fingerprint found on a rifle believed used to kill Evers matched one of his lingers. The suspect was widely known for his segregationist views in his hometown of Greenwood and was said to have printed handbills and distributed them on Greenwood streets protesting the Episcopal Church's stand on integration. Charles Evers, brother of the slain NAACP field secretary, said Sunday, "The NAACP and all Ne groes in the state as well as oth er citizens interested in justice and fair play will be watching to see if there is vigorous prose cution by officials of the City of Jackson." . Evers called Jackson "a city which has been embarrassed fcefore the world as a result of this drastic deed." He said he - elso hoped 'that '"those persons who may have aided in this con spiracy will be ferreted out and vigorously prosecuted." Credits City In Washington Sunday, Atty. Gen. Robert Kennedy said the mayor of Jackson and Jackson police "have made a major ef fort" toward solving the Evers rase. He noted that Jackson police uncovered the fingerprint on the rifle. The attorney general, who ap peared on a national radio-television program, also said federal agents "have more evidence than the fingerprints on the gun" in the Evers case. He said, however, he was not at liberty to reveal it. Kennedy said the government would defer to the state of Mis sissippi on the matter of the Beckwith trial. He said he had talked with Jackson Mayor Allen Thompson about this. Delaying move made by solon WASHINGTON (UPD Sen. Strom Thurmond, D-S.C, today iniprfivl the first Southern de laying tactic into the civil rights battle in Congress. Thurmond notified Senate Dem ocratic Leader Mike Mansfield, Mont, that he objected to any meeting of the commerce com mittee while the Senate was in A committee cannot meet while the Senate is in session if one senator objects. Thurmond's move would limit the civil rights hearings to hours when trie sen ate le nnf. meeting. Attv Gen. Robert F. Kennedy originally had been scheduled to testify this week before the com merce committeo on the contro versial public accommodations ,,1 t end segregation in restaurants, hotels and similar facilities. His appearance was postponed until next week, how ever. Kennedy declared Sunday there would be "no turning back" in the administration's efforts to press for broad new civil rights WARNINft ISSUED SALEM UPI Parents were warned today that children under 16 should not be permitted to operate motor bikes on public streets and roads. ni. nonarfmcnt of Motor Ve hicles said that motor bikes must be operated by a licensed driver nt IB vears old.

This cave was excavated in 1938 by Dr. L. S. Cressman, University of Oregon anthropologist. Fort Rock Cave dedication held By Phil F. Brogan Bulletin Staff Writer FORT ROCK The Fort Rock Cave, home of the first known Oregonians, some 9,000 years ago, was formally designated as a reg istered national historic landmark this past weekend when 200 per sons crowded close to the mouth of the northern Lake County cav ern to join in a program unique in Oregon. Principal speaker was Dr. L. S. Cressman, University of Oregon anthropologist, who on a hot sum mer day in 1938 unearthed from debris of the cave sandals of sage brush bark given a radio-carbon date of around 90 centuries. That discovery pushed Oregon's pre history back into the dim past, and paved the way for later dis coveries which indicate that an cient man was in the Northwest possibly as early as 30,000 years ago. Designation of the cave by the U.S. Department of Interior as a registered national historic land- Czech faces ousfer move by British LONDON (UPD-The British Foreign Office announced today it is demanding the recall of a Czech diplomat for attempted es pionage. A Foreign Office spokesman said Parliamentary Undersecre tary for Foreign Affairs Peter Thomas summoned Czech Ambas sador Zdenek Trhlik to the For eign Office and demanded the re call from London of Third Secre tary Prcmysl Holan. The spokesman said the recall was demanded on the grounds Mr. Holan had been detected in trying to persuade a member of the public to obtain secret information." An official at the Czech Em bassy in London said he had no comment to make on the British demand for Holan's recall. The spokesman said as well as requesting Holan's recall, Thom as protested "at his abuse of his diplomatic mission." The spokesman refused to elaborate except to say that the Czech ambassador remained 15 minutes with Thomas. mark was made possible by Mr. and Mrs. Reuben E. Long, ranch ers of the area on whose land the cave is located. Mr. and Mrs. Long provided for access to the cave from a point near the village of Fort Rock, on a paved road seven miles from the Fremont Highway. Plaque Erected A plaque was erected on a lava rock near the west edge of the cave, which long ago faced a big lake that swept over the now semi-arid Fort Rock basin. Ac cepting the offer of Mr. and Mrs. Long to make the historic cave available as a national historic landmark was W. Ward Yeager, Crater Lake National Park super intendent. He traced the history of the Historic Sites Act, under which the Fort Rock cave was set aside as location of national interest. Presiding at the program at the cave mouth, as June clouds dropped showers over the north ern Great Lake basin was Mer- ritt Y. (Bud) Parks of the Fort Rock Grange, which arranged for the dedication. Sandals Doscovered Dr. Cressman told of the dis covery of the sandals in 1938, touched on the story of the ancient people of the region, described the rigid conditions under which they lived, and noted they were artisans in their day. He mention ed the designs they wove into their basketry, and the skill with which they tipped their arrows. In his 1938 explorations of the cave, Dr. Cressman and his Uni versity of Oregon anthropology students unearthed 75 pairs of sandals, and many stone arti facts. One of the featured speakers at the program, held in front of the south-sloping cave, on the side ot an old, low volcano, was Reuben E. Long, a pioneer of the area whose interest in the ancient story of the region made possible the setting aside of the cavern as a place of national interest Also see picture en page 10.

MAUPIN (UPD Skin divers were called todav to hunt for the body of a 4-year-old girl feared drowned in the Deschutes River about a mile north of here. The girl, Linda Jean Hassel man, fell into the river while on a family outing Sunday, the Was co County sheriffs office said. The girl was the daughter of Ronald W. Hasselman, a research biologist with the Oregon Fish Commission. k. A More ram is indicated in forecast A storm that moved in from the North Pacific over the week end brought scattered showers to most of Central Oregon and some summer snow to the high country. Skies cleared last night, and forecasts indicate warmer weath er is in prospect, but the five day prediction t indicates that more showers can be expected, beginning about Wednesday. The Deschutes forecast calls for part ly cloudy weather and warmer weather through Tuesday. The chilly weekend storm that whitened the high Cascades drop ped six inches of snow in the Crater Lake area, closing the 35-mile-Iong rim drive, which had been opened only the previous day. The scenic drive was to be back in use today. Bend measured about a third of an inch of rain from the three- day storm. However, the 24-hour precipitation, measured this morning, was only 0.09 of an inch. Some parts of the Deschutes, Ochoco and Fremont woods got soaking rains from the scattered showers.

ABOARD THE USS FORT SWELLING AT SEA (UPD-The two-man bathyscaph Trieste dived to a depth of 8,400 feet at 10:35 a.m. EDT today in a last- ditch effort to locate the missing nuclear submarine Thresher. Aboard the bathyscaph were its pilot, Navy Lt. Cmdr. Donald L. Keach, 34, of San Diego, Calif., and a civilian. Kenneth V. Mac Kenzie, 51, also of San Diego, senior scientists in the deep wa ter submersible program at San Diego's Naval Electronics Laboratory. The seas were running at about feet and the sky was bright and blue overhead when the ra dar reflector atop the bathyscaph disappeared from sight. In order to dive, a quantity of aviation gasoline was released from the 58-foot long, 11-ioot in diameter float which holds the gondola in which the two crew men ride on their perilous descent to the bottom. The dive was expected to last six hours. It took one hour for the bathyscaph to reach the bot tom. The crew planned to search four hours. The ascent also would take an hour. Trieste, towed by the salvage vessel USS Preserver, arrived Sunday in the area 220 miles off Cape Cod where the lU-fated sub marine disappeared April 10 with 129 men aboard. Naval experts hope the deep- diving Trieste can locate Thresh er's hulk and photograph it to provide additional evidence as to what caused history s worst sub marine disaster. The Navy announced last week that a court of inquiry which in vestigated the disaster had con cluded that a piping system fail jure allowed sea water to flood Thresher and plunge her to the bottom. As research vessels prepared for Trieste's descent, a Russian tanker cruised through the search area Sunday and refused to an swer visual signals sent to it by this vessel. The tanker, identified as the Pokyeatan, passed within 700 yards of the research ship Rob ert Conrad at 11:40 a.m. as the Conrad trailed a camera along the ocean floor 8,400 feet below. At the time, Trieste was 20 miles to the west of the area, still under tow by the Preserver. The Navy said unauthorized passage of a ship through the area while Trieste is submerged could seriously endanger the bathyscaph . and her two - man crew. Because of her rapid rate of ascent after a dive, Trieste could be mortally damaged if she surfaced under another vessel. Coughing attack fatal for boy REDMOND A twelve-year-old boy, Milton Henderson, was pronounced dead on arrival at Central Oregon District Hospital Redmond, alter suifcnng a sud den attack of coughing at a Red mond motcL The parents of the boy, Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Henderson ot Lena non, said he was in apparent good health, but had had an asthmatic condition. The body was taken to Zacher Mortuary where an au topsy was scheduled for today. A young Bend couple was found dead in their wrecked car on U.S. Highway 20 about three miles west of Sisters this morning, but their small baby survived the crash. Killed, apparently instantly, were Keith Doyle Rice, 20, Brooks Scaulon, Inc., employee here, and his wife, Glenda Rae, 19. Mrs. Rice, apparently the driver, was found under the wheel. Beside her was her husband. On the floorboard in the rear of the car was their year-old baby, Julie Vail, who was taken to the Redmond District Hospital by a passing motorist, Derald D. Cha ney, Springfield. The baby appar ently was not seriously hurt. How ever, she suffered a jaw fracture 8 new charges brought against Stephen Ward LONDON (UPD The govern ment todav brought eight new charges against Dr. Slcpnen ward, the society osteopaui ana artist who opened the ooor tor the Profumo scandal. Prosecutors did not immediate ly make public details of the new charges, but tney tola a Marl borough magistrate's court the charges did not involve security violations. Ward is the man who in troduced former War Minister .Tohn Profumo to call girl Chris tine Keelor. Their illicit love af fair led to Profumo's resignation and a government crisis. Ward has been in jail on charg es of living off earning of pros titutes. The Profumo scandal touched the royal family openly today with a press report denying that Prince Philip was involved in me affair. The unprecedented front-page statement in the Daily Mirror, which was expected to cause a sensation, was one of several new sex and security reports building further pressure against the gov ernment of Prime Minister Har old Macmillan. Other press stories claimed that two U.S. airmen have been con nected with the Profumo scandal, and that an international vice and blackmail ring nr.y be imperil ling security in both Britain and the United States. The Daily Express and the Daily Herald said the two air men, identified as Sgt. Charles Lee Wright, 20. of Mount Vernon, 111., and Sgt. George Hopkins, of Bellaire, Ohio, were flown to Washington Friday from their post at Ruislip Air Base here. The Express said "both were friends of Christine Kecler" and that their departure followed a court of inquiry held by the American Office of Special Inves tigation" at the base. In Washington, the Defense De partment stated that an investiga tion indicated no U. S. military personnel have been involved in the Profumo case. Laborite George Wigg, whose detective work helped uncover the Profumo affair, predicted during the weekend that another major case soon would rock the gov ernment. He said in a television interview the top." and concussion. Chaney noticed the wrecked ear about 5:00 a.m. Travel over U.S. 20 was light in the morning hours, and the accident might have oc curred sometime before the dis covery was made. 'Oregon State Police Officer Bille Wallace, who investigated, said the car was moving east on the highway when the accident occurred. Tracks show that the vehicle, a 1950 Buick sedan, tra veiled 96 feet after leaving the surfaced road. It was 11 feet from the highway. The car plunged headon into a tree near the highway. The tree was about two feet In circumfer ence. There were no skid marks, or any evidence that an attempt was made to apply brakes. This has led investigations officers to be lieve that Mrs. Rice fell asleep while driving. Fred Painter, Sisters city mar shal, received word of the ac cident from passing motorists. He notified state police, and call ed the Redmond ambulance, Keith Rice is survived by two brothers, Kenneth and Lloyd Rice, of the Bend area. Mrs. Rice s home reportedly In Molino.

JFK to miss oronation of Pope Paul Compromise on tax plan seen WASHINGTON (UPI) The Kennedy administration is com promising a little on how much of a tax cut it will accept lor in dividual taxpayers. The compromising is going on in the House ways c means Committee, which Is in the midst of making key decisions on what President Kennedy's tax program will look like when it finally goes to a vote The closed committee sessions currently are in suspension while a fresh draft is drawn contain ing all decisions made during a month of meetings by the group. The all-important verdict on how much of a tax break the committee is willing to give Mr. Average Taxpayer is still to come. Individual tax rates now range from 20 to 91 per cent. Kennedy originally recommended that the range be lowered to 14 to 65 per cent. Now the administration is willing to settle for a 15 to 75 per cent scale. As a rough average, this would be a reduction of about one-sixth on individual income taxes. Influential conservative Demo crats on the committee are seek ing to trim the amount of tax reduction Kennedy requested. Whale research being planned ASTORIA (UPD University of Oregon Medical School scientists will do anatomical and biological research on whales taken by Bio products Corp. of Warrenton this summer. Dr. Richard Lyons of the medi cal school said a laboratory will be set up in Warrenton close to there are defects at the Bioproducts plant and scien I lists will commute from Portland. BONN, Germany (UPD Presi dent Kennedy declared today that the Atlantic Community is tne center, the great core of a orldwide effort to bring peace to all peoples. Kennedy said that with the mili tary security of Europe well guaranteed by Allied security measures, it was necessary to bring equal security to other peoples. At a news conference in the World Hall of the West German Foreign Ministry, Kennedy dis closed he would not attend the coronation in Rome Sunday of new Pope Paul VI. The news conference was held during a busy day in which Ken nedy conferred twice with West German Chancellor Konrad Aden auer against the background of a renewed U. S. pledge to defend Europe at all costs. In an earlier ceremony. Ken nedy also appealed to "dozens" of other free nations to join the United States in organizing a peace corps "in a great interna tional effort in the 1960s for peace." The President, speaking to about 300 American and European news men following his 3Vi hours of talks with Adenauer, said It was natural for the German people to want reunification. , . "No Immediate Solution" That is the object of our pol icy, he said, out ne aaaeo mat he saw "no immediate solution." Kennedy said he hoped the will of the German people for reunifi cation will be strong enough In time to bring it about. "Today, the future is uncertain. and the date for reunification is impassible to mark," the visiting U.S. President added. He said, however, that no one should despair. Kennedy arrived in West Ger many Sunday to begin a lfrday swing around Europe. The 46-yenr-old American lead er s talks with the 87-year-oia a- enauer today were described of ficially as "very cordial." Kennedy was asked by news men if he thought the latest Com munist move setting up a zone of death" along the Berlin wall was part of the well-known Red "salami-slicing" tactics and whether he planned to take any action on this. The President replied that the interests of both Britain and France are affected In this mat ter and that the question should be handled by the three Western Allied commandants In Berlin rather than by the American leader alone. aacBMMMni rmht tor worm neoce to conTinuG'M Non-interference pledge made by Pope Paul VI VATICAN CITY UPI Pope Paul VI promised today that the Vatican will not interfere in the affairs of other states. In an audience for the Vatican diplomatic corps, the Pope pledg ed that his reign would continue the battle for world peace based on "the four pillars of truth, justice, love and liberty. He told the diplomats of some 50 nations in his second official audience lhat "the Holy See does not propose ... to intervene in the affairs or interests that per tain to temporal powers." The United States has no rela tions with the Vatican so did not have a representative among the diplomats in the red-draped con sistorial hall for the audience. The Pope told the diplomats that "the Holy See is highly honored by your presence here." "Whether it is a matter or nor mal diplomatic relations or of extraordinary occasions such as the recent funeral rites for Pope John XXIII, the presence of the representatives of nations is a highly significant tribute to the spiritual mission of the Holy See." Some observers said the remark could be interpreted as an indirect "thank you" to the United States since Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson was the highest govern ment representative to attend the rites. The Pope spoke for about six minutes and then left the throne in the Consistorial HaD to meet personally with each of the dip- lomats and their families. The Catholics in the audience knelt and kissed the pontiff's ring. The pontiff said the church means only to reaffirm constantly "certain fundamental principles of civilization and which she at tempts to make penetrate into souls and institutions. "On these principles rests the harmony of international rights and duties and the great human family depends on their activa tion for the establishment of a true peace, that priceless treasure of individuals and of peoples." The pontiff's remarks came only a week before President Kennedy is scheduled to arrive for an au dience, possibly the first chief of state to meet with Pope Paul, chosen pontiff last Friday. Speaking slowly and clearly in fluent French, Pope Paul said that "after the instructions of our predecessors and we think particularly of the encyclycal Pacem in Terris it seems scarcely necessary for us to re peat to you all the respect which the church holds for the dignity and the mission of each of the nations of the world." Earlier, he urged the several hundred parish priests of Rome in his first official audience to "give this wonderful and fearful modern world of ours a new lace a livin Christian face." The priests interrupted him with applause several times and when he left thev spontaneously began to nine "Christus Vincit" (Christ Conquers). Non-Yiolence urged by King DETROIT (UPI) The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Sunday night told a huge crowd of racial demonstrators the Negro in Amorica wants his freedom "here and now" but warned that they should travel a non-violent path. King led a "walk to freedom" through the streets of downtown Detroit, which protested racial segregation throughout the coun try and commemorated the 20th anniversary of a race riot here that left 35 dead. Police said at least 125,000 per sons took part in the march and another 15,000 watched It. Almost all were Negroes. The Rev. C.L. Franklin, director of the sponsor ing Detroit Council on Human Rights, said from the speakers' platform at Cobo Hall at the end of the march that 250.000 persons took part In it. King said it was "a joy to par ticipate in the largest and great est demonstration for freedom ever held in the United States."
