MONDAY, JUNE 15. 1959 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH KAILS. OREGON PAGE SEVEN' Florida Dad Kills Tykes AUGUSTA. Ga. IAPI-A Flor ida businessman, his two children and a policeman were dead today as the result of a gun battle. Officers said the businessman. James Hofer, J4, killed the chil dren. Detective Edgar F. Beazley said officers were called to the home of the parents of Holer's estranged wife after Hofer crashed through the living room window with a .38 caliber revolver in his hand. The first officers at the scene were Sgt. Sumter Lewis and vet eran patrolman Joe Reynolds. 48. They were told that Hofer was upstairs with his wife. Dorothy Bailey Hofer, and their children. Vicky Ann Hofer, 4, and Katherine Holer, 2. Beazley said the officers could hear Hofer and his wife talking in an unlighted bedroom. There was no sound from the children. Rey nolds apparently opened the door, shined his flashlight at Hofer, and aw that he had a gun. The officer shot Hofer. who tell to the floor. Reynolds walked over to him. and was within an arm's length from the fallen man when Hofer shot the officer. Lewis began to exchange shots with Hofer, but could only shoot at Hofer's gun flashes. Meanwhile, Mrs. Hofer fled. Lewis ran out of ammunition and went downstairs to call an ambulance for Reynolds and get more bullets. At least 10 more oflicers had arrived. Police heard the children talk ing with their father, who was firing constantly while Lewis was downstairs. When he and the other oflicers got upstairs, the children and Hofer were dead. One of the girls was found at Hofer's feet GLAMOR GIRLS S HH. Kf Festem Warn, hfc. WeeM rMa mm i wL Decision In Rape Trial Explained By Jury Chief TALLAHASSEE. Fla.. AP - The jury which convicted four white youths for the mass rape of Negro coed decided against the death penalty because there was no evidence of brutality, the jury foreman said Sunday night. A. H. King, a Tallahassee plant ation owner, described how the erdict was reached as an atmos phere of calm returned to Flori da's capital city after weeks of tension. King said that "on the basis of the testimony before us there was evidence of threats with a gun and knile but no brutality was olved." "Okay, 111 meet you in Calcutta' six months from today." Nicaragua Seeks Proof Of Assistance To Rebs Demo Council Scores GOP WASHINGTON (AP The Democratic Advisory Council has taken a lusty whack at Repub lican "veto government." By im plication, it also said it doesn't think Democratic leaders in Con gress are doing enough to make a clearcut party record for 1960. "Until there is a Democratic president in the White House," the council said in a statement Sun day, "we face the retarding and corrosive effects of 'veto govern ment.' "The Congress has been con tinuously threatened with presi dential vetoes in the attempt to thwart one constructive and neces sary measure after another." The council said Congress should ignore the veto threats, rather than yielding. But with im plied criticism of Democratic leaders, it added: "Time-consuming efforts have been made to water down proposed legislation to the limits of what the President might accept, or to what might win the support of the two-thirds majority in each house necessary to override a presidential veto. The council, headed by National Chairman Paul M. Butler, has 27 members, including former Presi dent Harry S. Truman and Adlai E. Stevenson. MANAGUA. Nicaragua (AP) I President Luis Somoza's regime today sought proof for the Organ ization of American States that the young socialites who tried to topple his regime got substantial help from other Latin American governments., Somoza's aides stepped up their efforts after the government staged a triumphal parade through the capital Sunday in a show of confidence that the small scale, two-week-old revolt was over. Union Plans Strike Probe PORTLAND (API A Carpen ters Union vice president said Saturday the union will look into the strike of union pile drivers, an affiliate. Lyle Hiller. the official, said Maurice Hutcheson. president of the union, has named an investi gating body to come here from Washington. D.C. It will open hearings Tuesday. Hiller made the announcement after another negotiating meeting with a U.S. mediator failed to pro duce a settlement. George Walker, the mediator, said "some progress" was made on minor issues but none on ma jor ones. The weeks-old Portland area pile drivers strike has halted some 15 million dollars worth of construction projects. Pile drivers have turned down a contract accepted by the Car penters Union in the state. Employers have threatened in an oblique way to shut down every major construction project in Ore gon if the pile drivers remain off the job. Rare Foods Exhibit Open LOS ANGELES IAP How about a luncheon of quail eggs, shark fins, reindeer steak and caterpillars? Or perhaps lily bulbs and grass hoppers broiled in butter? These and other unusual foods are on exhibit at a wholesale market fair that opened Sunday at a downtown hotel. On display are exotic snacks from all over the world hams soaked in whisky, candies, caviar, cheeses, pink beer, and grass hoppers. "These." confided the (air man ager. Ted Dohl. pointing to a plate of the broiled insects, "are lor people who have eaten everything." Planes Partake In Dedication GRANTS PASS (API Nearly 80 planes from out of town flew into Josephine County s 1160,000 airport for dedication ceremonies Sunday. The new airport, eight miles north of Grants Pass, has facili ties to handle commercial flights. although no regularly scheduled airlines serve the town now. A crowd of 3,000 heard County Judge Raymond A. Lathrop trace the county's aviation history, and watched the pilots flour bomb ing, ribbon cutting and parachute jumping contests. Officials announced, however. that further invasion attempts by Nicaraguan exiles might be made in the near future. This belief gave urgency to the charges and evidence being collected for the OAS investigating team expected here Tuesday. The almost' bloodless coup ap peared to have sputtered out with the surrender of 16 rebel holdouts who were ambushed by National Guardsmen Saturday night when they sought to buy food in a vil lage. The exhausted, hungry men, most of them members of prom inent Nicaraguan families, were led by Pedro Joaqum Chamorro scion of a prominent publishing family and former editor of the newspaper La Prensa. Forty-six others had given up earlier in the week. Somoza's brother. Gen. Anasta sio Somoza. commander of the country's armed forces, charged that Cuba and Venezuela prob ably would help 75 other Nicarag uana now training in Honduras for an invasion attempt. cnamorro ana nis bedraggled group of holdouts were brought into Managua before dawn Sunday and hauled before Gen. Sonroza Refusing to address them direct ly, he ordered them to about face then delivered a 15-minute tongue' lashing. He said later the surrender had marked the "end of a would-be attempt by these nonsensical kids to emulate Fidel Castro. The government says the orig inal invasion force of about 100 men has dwindled to fewer than two dozen stragglers, wandering about the Nicaraguan jungle isolated groups. About 17 rebels were killed or wounded. Somoza has said those captured will be tried for treason. The max imum penalty is nine years' im prisonment. The victory parade celebrating the end of the revolt brought a show of popular support for So moza. A huge crowd jammed the capital's narrow streets applaud ing the troops, as air force planes zoomed overhead. Three plots to unseat Somoza have been thwarted in the past year. He was elected president a year after the assassination of his lather, Anastasio. in 1958. The foreman said the case was decided on "the law and the evi dence" without any consideration nt race. "We would have returned the same verdicts if the defendants had been four Negroes," King said. t Four Negroes are awaiting ex ecution in the state prison for rap ing white women. One Negro pastor said refusal of the all-white male Jury to send the four to the electric chair would give Negroes charged with rape a double standard talking point at Weir triais. Dr. A. Joseph Reddick, pastor of the Bethel A me church and a Collegians From California Rap Television As Teacher CO.MPTON. Calif. (API TV. as an instructor, is strictly a one- eyed monster from nowhere among the crew-cut set at Comp ton College. The collegians say: They're tired of being guinea pigs in a pioneer TV education project. Video instruction has ail tne fascination of an hour-long com mercial. It gets a zero in the campus audience rating compared with an old-fashioned professor you can talk back to. Friday more than 200 cut classes and picketed the campus with placards protesting "auto matized education" and "robot classrooms." They hanged in ef figy a headless figure called pio neering spirit. Six Perish In Headon MOJAVE. Calif. (UPI Six per sons, five of them from one la- mily. were killed Sunday night when two cars crashed headon on a straight stretch of U.S. highway 6 about 30 miles north of here. California Highway Patrol offi cers said the cars were almost welded together and that acety lene torches were used to free the victims who included one injured passenger, a seven-year-old boy The dead were identified as Processo B. Subala, 49. of the China Lake Naval Test Center. Calif.: Thornton W. Howard. 28, of Edwards, Calif.: Howard's wife. Millie, 26, and their three children, Susan, 8. Cindy, 5, and Timothy. 6 months. The lone survivor, Lonnie How ard, was reported in critical con dition at the Navy hospital at China Lake. Sophomore Ted Halliscy. 20. leader of the Student Organization tor Better Education, explained: 'When a student sees TV, he expects entertainment. He's ex pecting 'Gunsmoke.' not algebra. And there is no instructor to ask questions of and clear up mis conceptions. It destroys the entire concept of student - teacher relationships." The anti-TV faction says it has signatures of 1.500 students seek :ng to oust TV from the classroom and return it to the living room, The two-year Southern California school has an enrollment of 1.800 College President Paul Martin, who introduced TV- instruction, blamed the faculty for the' fuss. He said only a minority of the students really oppose the project and he hopes to expand TV in struction because, he said, it saves tax - payers' money and helps solve the teacher shortage. The college has four television classrooms of 40 students each in freshman courses of English. psychology and algebra under the supervision of a single instruc tor. Lectures featuring Compton professors are filmed on campus for showing over classroom IV screens. Martin is backed by the econ omy-minded California Taxpayers Assn. and opposed by the Cali fornia Teachers Assn. The teach ers say they don't mind TV as a supplementary teaching aid but oppose it as a substitute for an instructor. former state president of the Na tional Assn. for Advancement of Colored People, said it was hi opinion the decision against a death penalty resulted horn "in- rained prejudice by a while jury. Reddick said the verdict rep resented some slight gain lor Negroes, but not enough. The four defendants appeared stunned by the verdict. They were whisked off to Railford State Pris on after the jury reported at 12:35 a.m. Sunday. i Tallahassee Negro ministers! made references to the trial in their services. The Rev. David Brooks said prayers were oflered lor the coed and the four youths. 1 "We asked that God would lead them ithe youths i to repent," he said. All was quiet on the all-Negro j Florida A&M University campus where the victim was a freshman. Passive demonstrations were staged by students there last month. The four youths will remain at Railord until their sentencing which is expected to take place in about 30 days. Motions for new trials must be disposed of and if they are disallowed Circuit Judge W. May Walker is expected to order pre-sentence investigations of the four. Walker gave no hint of the pen alties he will impose. Under Flor ida law he can go as high as lite imprisonment or he could let them off with probation. State prisoners become eligible for consideration tor parole after serving six months, but lifers convicted of rape habitually serve at least 10 years. David Ervin Beagles, 18. a stocky sandy-haired high school senior, was the only defendant to register any emotion. Tears welled up in his eyes as be was led from the courtroom. The others convicted are: Wil lion I Ted I Collinsworth, 23, an il literate telephone linesman and father of two children: Patrick 'Gene i Scarborough, 20, an Air Force man wno is married but separated from his wife: and 01- lie Sloulamire, a skinny pale- lined 16-year-old who was dc scribed by a state witness as be ing mentally retarded.
