Given Okay
WASHINGTON (UPIi-The Ad
ministration has approved a do
mestic subsidy program for the
cotton industry which would elimi
nate the two-price cotton system
in mid-1964.
The Agriculture .Department
joined the cotton industry in ap
proving a two-stage compromise
program to help domestic mills
against foreign manufactures.
At the same time, Assistant Ag
riculture Secretary Charles S.
Murphy injected some new price
support proposals which could
hamper passage of any cotton leg
islation. Chairman Harold Cooley, D
N.C., of the House Agriculture
Committee, said he would consid
er a number of recommendations
forwarded by Murphy before in
troducing any bill.
Cooley, who released Murphy's
comments on his proposed bill, in
dicated that there was no total
agreement within the industry on
the department's proposals.
"I am hopeful that we soon may
develop very substantial agree
ment among the various elements
in the cotton industry," he said,
"so that we may deal effectively
with the problem by passing the
essential legislation."
time for the trial of Zelma Joan
Othiho, 42, indicted for the gun
slaying of Mrs. Florine Baker
Huitt, 26, at the home of a mu
tual friend last March 19.
Mrs. Ochiho was indicted on
the murder charge Monday, a
few days in excess of three
months since she was acquitted
by a Klamath Countv Circuit
Court jury of the first degree
murder of her boy friend, Bruce
Miller, 38, an ex-pugilist. A jury
of eight women and four men
voted 10-2 for acquital by reason
of self defense.
Mrs. Huitt, the victim in the
most recent slaying, had been in
the same room with. Mrs. Ochiho
when the latter discharged the
bullet from the .308 caliber rifle
which killed Miller. Mrs. Huitt
testified at the murder trial that
she had been looking out of a win
dow at the time of the shooting
and did not observe the incident
which took Miller's life. Mrs.
Ochiho is a Klamath Indian, as
was Mrs. Huitt.
Less than two months following
the murder trial, Mrs. Othiho
slew Mrs. Huitt with the same
weapon she used to kill Miller.
At the time of the shooting, po
liro hplinvnt that iealousv over
ntis Washineton. Negro vho
testified during the trial Involv
ing Miller's death, was the mo
tive which incited Mrs. Ochiho
to slay her cousin, Mrs. Huitt.
Police records establish that
the victim was sitting next to
Washington in the living room
at 61R Commercial Street when
Mrs. Ochiho, carrying the alleged
murder weapon, opened the front
door of the dwelling and stepped
inside the house.
Washington told police he ob
served Mrs. Ochiho point the ri
fle at the victim and discharge
it. The bullet struck Mrs. Huitt in
the thigh and she died of the
wound several hours later at the
Klamath Valley Hospital.
Mrs. Ochiho later consulted-her
attorney and then surrendered to
police. .
In the other arraignment in
volving first degree murder, Ar
chie Emil Foster, 26, accused of
the April 22 gun slaying of Mrs.
Hit-hard Biss, 37-year-old Beatty
woman, appeared before Judge
David R. Vandenberg in Circuit
Court No. 1 Tuesday afternoon
and was instructed to return to
the bench 10 a.m., Friday, May
10, to enter a plea.
Foster was apprehended by a
state police officer and a sheriff's
deputy Wednesday, April 24, in
connection with the shooting of
Mrs. Biss. who was found dead
of a bullet wound through her
head April 22. Her body was in
an upright position in the rear
scat of the family automobile,
parked near the Biss Beatty
home.' when it was discovered
by neighbors.

Pistol-Packing Bogeymen Preserve
Haitian Presidency For Duvalier ;!j
By PHIL NEWSOM
L'PI Foreign News Analyst
President Francois Duvalier of
Haiti is a physician-turncd-dicta-
tor who keeps himself in office!
with the aid of a pistol-packingl
force called "tonton macoute,
Translated from the Creole,
tonton macoute means bogey
men" and it is a fair description
of the bully boys who swagger in
blue jeans and sports shirts and
who reportedly are adept at all
forms of persuasion from "volun
tary" contributions for Duvalier's
personal projects to torture for
his enemies.
Altogether, they total about
10.000 as compared to Haiti's reg
ular army of 5,000, a force which
Duvalier systematically has
stripped of its best officers since
he took office on Oct. 22, 1937.
Duvalier currently is observing
"month of gratefulness" foi a
bit of political sleight nf hand
which he executed two years ago
and by which be declared him
self re-elected for a new six-year
iM"wssiweiiii
tcrm two years before his old
term was to have expired.
Two Weeks to Go
The old term would have ex
pired this May 15.
Mounting violence In Port Au
Prince, Haiti s capital, has ac-
'companied the approach of that
Idate.
An outfit calling Itself the Unit
ed Revolutionary Forces has an
nounced that on May 15 it will'
carry out a "dry cleaning" oper
ation against the "tyrant-voodoo-
ist" Duvalier.
Haiti has charged the Dominican
Republic of plotting against Du
valier which failed but led to the
deaths of a chauffeur and two
bodyguards watching over Du
valier's children.
The U.S. embassy officially
has warned some 1,500 Americans
to store up food and water and
stay off downtown streets.
And Haiti and the Dominican
Republic came close to armed
blows.
The Haitian government has
pressed a hate campaign against
both the Dominican Republic and
the United States and has threat
ened that any uprising against
Duvalier would produce a "Him
alaya of corpses.
U.S. aid to Haiti since 1946 has
amounted to around $100 million
and the most to show for it is a
small dam, some road repair and
progress in eliminating the tropi
cal yaws.
While cutting off aid, the Un't-
ed States until this week contin
ued a 55-man Marine training
mission in Port Au Prince, partly
on the theory that some of the
hest and most responsible men in
Haiti were in its armed forces.
The V. S. remains In a dilem
ma in Haiti. But there also Is the
belief that eventually Duvalier
must fall. The direction of that
fall would determine the U. S.
position intervention if Commu
nist, support if there seems a
chance for a new democratic
rule.
