Ala (UPD- Two white men were jailed early today in connection with a church bombing that killed four Negro girls. Col. Al Lingo, head of the. Alabama state police, refused to identify the suspects who were held on an open charge but a high police official said two men identified as R. E. Chambliss and Charles Cagle were being held for state authorities. Both were previously connect ed with Ku Klux Klan activities in Alabama. 1 Chambliss, in his SOs, was once arrested lor smashing a photographer's camera at a Man rally in the Birmingham area and was one of the signers of papers to incorporate a Klan group in the 1950s. Cagle, 22, lives in a rural area near Birmingham. He was one of six men arrested near Tusca loosa prior to the first racial days prior to the first racial integration at the University of Alabama. Police said all six were en route to a Ku Klux Klan rally. Cagle was charged with carrying a concealed weapon. The two suspects, their faces covered with small laundry packages that appeared to con tain clean shirts, were hustled into the city jail during the pre dawn hours. Lingo, who was in on the interrogation of the suspects at state trooper district head quarters just outside Birming ham, said a number of suspects had been arrested at various times Sunday night. He had said "more than two" men were being questioned. But when Lingo emerged from the city jail later turning the suspects over to the city, he indicated that those were the only two being held. Asked about his previous statement, he said "at that time there was more than two" suspects being questioned. Lingo steadfastly refused to say who the suspects were and countered all questions from newsmen with "no statement." Birmingham has had 22 bombings since 11156 all un solved. More than $76,000 in reward money has been offered for information leading tn con viction of the bombers.

Germany Germany on May 4 "because of certain things which brought me into conflict with the U. S. government." The "certain things" were Communist-line political views which Svenson expanded at length to newsmen today. Two East Germans who iden tified themselves as "journal ists" took the Western reporters to the apartment and made a tape recording at the entire three-hour meeting. Svenson said he had broken his U.S. Army oath and desert ed to "shake the Army a bit, to shake the Army's thinking." He said many ef hit army friends "feel the st.Tia way I do." 9
