Federal Hearing
Set (or Suspect
In Evers Slaying
Jackson, Miss. - (DPI) - A
slender gun' fancier, charged
by the state with murder in
the sniper slaying of rVegro
leader Medgar. Evcrs, 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
appear before U.S. Commis
sioner John R. Countiss III
today in a hearing to deter
mine whether there are
grounds for charges he and
others conspired to deprive
Evcrs of his civil rights.
The murder charge, how
ever, will have priority over
the lesser federal charge.
Evers, state field secretary
for the National Association
for the Advancement of Col
ored People (NAACP) was
shot to death outside his
house on June 12 when he re
turned from a civil rights
rally.
t
Prints Match
Beckwith, a fertilizer sales
man, was arrested at Green
wood, Miss, after the FBI said
a fingerprint found on a rifle
believed used to kill bvera
matched one of his fingers.
The suspect was widely
known for his segregationist
views in his hometown ol
Greenwood and was said to
have printed handbills and
distributed them on Green
wood streeU protesting the
Episcopal Church's stand on
Integration.
Charles Evcrs, brother of
the slain NAACP field secre
tary, said Sunday, "The
NAACP and all Negroes in the
state as well as other citizens
interested in Justice and fair
play will be watching to see
if there is vigorous prosecu
tion by officials of the City
of Jackson."
Diplomats Told
Indirect 'Thanks'
To Johnson Noted
Vatican City - fUPD - Pope
Paul VI promised today that
the Vatican will not interfere
in the affairs of other states-.
In an audience for the Vati
can diplomatic corps, the Pope
pledged that his reign would
continue the battle for world
peace based on "the four pil
lars of truth, justice, love and
liberty.
He told the diplomats of
some 50 nations in his second
official audience that "the
Holy See docs not propose
. to intervene in the af
fairs or interests that pertain
to temporal powers."
The United States has no
relations with the Vatican so
did not have a representative
among the diplomats in the
red-draped consistorial hall
for the audience.
Says Holy See Honored
Tne Pope told the diplo
mats that "the Holy See is
highly honored by your pres
ence here."
'Whether it is a matter of
normal diplomatic relations
or of extraordinary occasions
such as the recent funeral
rites for Pope John XXIII
the presence of the represent
atives of nations is a highly
significant tribute to. the spir
itual mission of the Holy Sec.
Some observers said the re
mark could be interpreted as
an' indirect "thank you" to
the United States since Vice
President Lyndon B. Johnson
was the highest government
representative to attend the
rites. . . ,
The Pope spoke for about
six minutes and then left the
throne in the Conslstortal
Hall to meet personally with
each of the dtplotru-ji and
their families. The Catholics
in the" audience knelt and
kissed the pontiff's ring
To See Kennedy ,
The pontiff's remarks came
only a week before President
Kennedy is scheduled to ar
rive for an audience, possibly
the first chief of state to meet
with Pope Paul, chosen pon
tiff last Friday.
Speaking slowly and clear
ly in fluent French, Pope Paul
said that "after the instruc
tions of our predecessors
and we think particularly of
th encyclical Pacema in Tcr
ris It seems scarcely neces
sary for us to repeat to you
all the respect., which the
church holds for the dignity
and the mission of each of
the nations of the world."
