JACKSON, Miss. (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.

HOME OF FIRST OREGONIANS Shown standing in front of the Fort Rock Cave, home of
tribal hunters some 9,000 years ago, is part of the group of 200 that attended dedication
of the cavern Saturday at a site of national interest, administered by the U.S. Park Service.
This cave was excavated in 1938 by Dr. L. S. Cressman, University of Oregon anthropologist.

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.

U.S. Department of Interior as a

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

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.

the Atlantic Community is tne
center, the great core of a

to all peoples.
Kennedy said that with the mili

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

The 46-yenr-old American lead

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

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).

DETROIT (UPI) The Rev.
Martin Luther King Jr. Sunday
night told a huge crowd of racial
demonstrators the Negro in
