UPI Telephoto In The- Day's km By FRANK JENKINS As this is written, the civil rights demonstration march on Washington is shaping up. It is set for day after tomorrow, and is expected to include 10O.0O0 or more persons, both white and col ored. Its sponsors pledge that it will be orderly and to help them car ry out their pledge a force o some 10,000 security officers is standing by. It will include po licemen. National Guardsmen, civilian police reserves, parade marshals and if needed some 4,000 soldiers and Marines. The ruckus in Viet Nam is getting worse. The Russians cuss out the Red Chinese again. In the Middle East, fierce fight ing erupts between Israel and Jordan. In New York, a teacher strike threatens to close all the schools. The long - discussed railroad strike is due to come to a head later in the week. The argument over ratification of tile nuclear test ban treaty continues. Question: Isn't ANYBODY more? happy any New angle on the test ban pact: Speaking in Los Angeles the other day, Evangelist Billy Gra ham said the recently negotiated test ban treaty between the U.S., Britain and Russia "offers noth ing but false hope." Speaking at a prayer breakfast, he told his hearers that "Russia is still out for. world revolution, and the test ban treaty means nothing." The test ban treaty has been negotiated and signed. But be fore it can become effective, so far as the United States is con cerned, it must be ratified by the Senate. Our Senators are now making up their minds as to how they are going to vote. On the treaty, you may have strong personal convictions. You may feel that it SHOULD be ratified. You may feel that it SHOULD NOT be ratified. But- You may say to yourself WHAT CAN I DO: ,' Well, here's a thought: In a democracy, the INSTINCT OF THE PEOPLE is immensely important. The instinct of the peo ple is sometimes better in im mensely important situations such as this than the reasoned deci sions of those in authority, So- If and when you find that your mind is made up that you're for the treaty, or against it, and that's that WRITE YOUR SENATORS. Tell them how you feel about it. And why. For your information. Oregon's senators are Wayne Morse and Maurine Xeuberger. California's senators are Clair Engle and Thomas H. Kuchcl. Their address is Senate Olfice Building. Wash ington. DC. Make your letters short. About all vou need to say is I'M FOR IT or I'M AGAINST IT. along with a brief statement of your reasons. Don't think your letters won't be read. They will be. Among other things, there is a lot of politics in this business and your senators are going to want to know how their constitu ents feel about it.

Police shot and killed a girl taking part in an anti-government demonstration Sunday and carted hundreds of other students off to jail. Some estimates placed the number under arrest at 2,000. Several youths were wounded by police gunfire and others were roughed up by riot patrol men. The crackdown began only a few hours before U.S. Ambassa dor Henry Cabot Lodge called on President Ngo Dinh Diem to pre sent his credentials and give Evans Faces Arraignment PORTLAND ( UPI i Robert Evans, 26, Honolulu, was sched uled to be arraigned on a charge of first degree murder here to day in connection with the stran gulation death of a wealthy Idaho heiress earlier this month. Evans is accused of the death of Mrs. Irene Davis, 41, of Pay ette. Her partially clothed body was found in a bathtub in a room at the Portland Hilton Hotel Aug. 6. Portland police said Saturday night that Evans had "acknowl edged verbally. . .that he was responsible for the death" of Mrs. Davis. Evans was returned to Portland early Saturday from Fremont, Neb., where he was arrested atter police recognized his car as one described in a police bulletin. Donald Layman, a Portland at torney, was appointed to handle Evans' case when the latter ap peared before Municipal Judge J. Quiliin later in the day. George Juba, chief criminal deputy of the Multnomah County district attorney's office, and By ron Shields, chief of detectives of Portland Police Bureau, is sued the statement of Evans' ad mission. The statement said: "In the presence of Mr. Juba and a member of the detective division, Robert Evans acknowl edged verbally this morning (Sat urday! that he was lesponsible for the death of Irene Davis in the early morning of Aug. 6, 1963." Civil Rights Marchers Cautioned On Violence WASHINGTON i L PI '-Leadersj of Wednesday's civil rights march on Washington warned participants today against pro voking violence and disorder from "evil persons . . . deter mined to smear this march and discredit the cause of equality." "We call for self-discipline so that no one in our ranks, how ever enthusiastic, shall be the spark for disorder," they said.

"I've also been advised not to take any long walks," Lodge said. Anti-L'.S. Feelings Grow Increasing anti-Americanism has been displayed by govern ment forces in the tense Vietna mese situation. One army captain who ordered the arrest of three American newsmen Saturday shouted, "To hell with Ameri cans!" (In Washington, high U.S. offi cials indicated there may be a sharp reduction in U.S. aid to South Viet Nam unless Diem fires the secret police officials blamed for the attacks on the Buddhists.) Small Fires Hit Oregon By United Press International The U.S. Forest Service report ed today 31 fires broke out in Oregon between midnight Thurs day and midnight Sunday, but they burned less than three acres.

The Slate Forestry Department reported only four small fires on state-protected land over t h e weekend. None burned more than half an acre. The only major fire burning in the Northwest today was in the Bear Mountain area of Washing ton's Wenatchce National Forest, where a lightning - caused blaze burned 150 acres of grass and scattered pine before being sur rounded by 125 men this morn ing.

The demonstration's organizers are providing 1.500 civilian pa rade marshals, most of them re cruited in New York City. The House and Senate will be in session Wednesday, but prob ably will be debating emeigeniy legislation to avert a nationwide railroad strike, rather than civil rights. At least 43 members of Congress are expected to attend the rally at the Lincoln -Memorial. SHEPPTOX, Pa. 'L PI i - Drill ing operations slowed down sharp ly today in the ellort to rescue two rugged coal miners who have been buried 308 feet underground for two weeks. Estimates of when they may reach the surface ranged trom late alternoon to late at night. Rescue workers bored past the 'Shooting Match' Forecast Over Senate Railroad Bill WASHINGTON 'L'PH - The House Commerce Committee to day approved legislation to avert a nationwide rail strike Thursday while the Senate squared off for what a Republican leader said would be a real shooting match over a similar bill. Senate Republican Leader Ev erett Dirksen, III., said opposing Senate forces were "coming out of all corners shooting" over a bill to set up a seven-member board to arbitrate the 4-year-old dispute. With one key exception, the House bill was similar to the Senate version. It would not sub ject the so-called secondary issues to arbitration. The Senate bill would provide for arbitration of these matters if no agreement was reached by collective bai gaining within 30 days. Both would provide that the two primary issues, the need for fire men on freight and yard service diesels and over-all make-up of train crews, be resolved by ar bitration binding on both tile unions and the carriers.

Like the Senate bill, the House legislation dropped President Ken nedy's proposal that the Inter state Commerce Commission be handed the prohlcm of settling the dispute.

Kennedy, Dobrynin Plan Talks WASHINGTON HJPI Presi dent Kennedy today plunged into what could be the one of the most important weeks of his White House career, starling w ith a con ference with Soviet- Ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin. The meeting with Dobrynin, Kennedy's first session with a top Russian leader since the nuclear test ban treaty was negotiated. was arranged following talks last week between the Soviet envoy and State Department officials. There was no indication Ken nedy and Dobi7nin would con centrate on any specific issue. They were expected to discuss a general range of topics dealing with recently improved Russo- American relations, including the test ban. The President returned to Washington this morning from a low pressure weekend with his family at their summer retreat at Hyannis Port, Mass. Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy and Navy Undersecretary Paul Fay accompanied Kennedy. Dobrynin is back at his Wash ington post alter a visit home. While there, he sat in on some of the probing talks Secretary of State Dean Rusk held with Pre mier Nikita S. Khrushchev and other Russian officials about pos sible further measures for easing East-West friction in the wake of the test ban agreement.

Yugoslavia (UPI 'Pre mier Nikita Khrushchev and Presi dent Tito met today in the seclusion of the latter's Brioni Is land retreat to thresh out prob lems affecting Yugoslavia's rela tions with the rest of the Com munist world. Questions believed lo rank high among the matters they discussed were the expansion of Yugoslav trade with the Moscow-bloc na tions and the adoption of a com mon stand against Red China s brand of communism. Khrushchev, alwut lialfway through a 15-day "working va cation" in Yugoslavia, arrived Sunday at Brioni aboard Tito's luxurious yacht Seagull. He came to the hilly, green is land from a triumphal tour of southwestern Yugoslavia follow ing Belgrade talks that apparent ly restored Yugoslav - Soviet friendship after a 15 - year es trangement.

UPI Telephoto Defense Research Chief WASHINGTON (UP1 The director of Defense Research un- der both Presidents Eisenhower and Kennedy said today that sci ence and technology by them selves offer "absolutely no solu tion" to the problem of national security, He said the tesl ban treaty with Russia offers hope in tin's direction. The testimony was given by Dr. Herbert F. York, 41-ycar-old chancellor of the University of California, as the Senate Foreign Relations Committee moved into the final stages of its hearings on the treaty. The limited pact also was en dorsed by former Ambassador Arthur II. Dean, who said it is "in the best interests of the Unit ed States." But lie added: "Keep Musket Loaded" I would keep the musket con stantly loaded and iput an ever vigilant guard at the door" to de tect possible violations by the So viet Union. York rejected the arguments of critics who contend the treaty would hamper development of an anti-missile system, nail down Russia's lead in super bombs and perhaps find U. S. laboratories unprepared if Russia resumes at mospheric shots. He testified that although U. S. military power has "steadily in creased" since shortly after World War II, its national sccu- ily has been "rapidly and inex orably diminishing" as weapons become more deadly. The picture for Russia, he added, is "much worse."

An ex-convict with a long polite record was arrested as a sus pect a few hours after the dou ble murder at the Angel lounge. Two others were sought by po lice. The victims were detective Sgl Peter Voto, 40, and probationary patrolman Garry Tedesco, 21, who joined the force only n week ago Bergen County Prosecutor Guy Calissi said Voto discovered one of the men was carrying a pistol when he went to the club to in vostigate a reported disturbance The discovery apparently touched off the shootings, Calissi said Four women and the bartender were Ihe only persons In the club cape capsule, which was expected lo bring the men to the surface, would get stuck in the narrow rescue shaft.

''Kinst Small ;Sleii" On the other hand, York said' he considered the test ban treaty to be "a first small step towards finding a solution" to the prob lem of nalional security if it is followed by other eleps to re verse the arms race. If the treaty is not followed by other actions to slow the arms race, he said, "national security will still continue to diminish, though perhaps less rapidly." Four Leave Space Cabin SAN ANTONIO, Tex. (UPD- Four airmen who volunteered to spend 43 days in a simulated space cabin so scientists can de termine the ideal temperature mid atmospheric conditions un manned spaceships completed their mission today. The longest previous stay in a simulated space cabin was 30' days. The men were chosen from vol unteers al nearby Lackland Air Force Base.

Treaty and coal being scraped out hi the reaming operation from falling in to tlse miners' tiny prison. Shortly before 9 a.m.. EDT. one rescue official spoke to Fellin over the communications system mat uiks the miners to the world above. He asked Fellin w hether he had heard anything from a third min er, Louis Bova, 42, and Fellin re plied quietly, "No." Fellin, whose voice could he heard over a broadcasting speak er near the head of the mine in wliich tire three were entombed, also said he had no idea where Bova was located. Drilling for Bova stopped a lit tle before 6 a.m. at a denth of about 140 feet when water was encountered. The drill, driven by compressed air, will not operate in water. The first 38 feet of the rescue shaft was enlarged to 30 inches Sunday. Then a 26-inch-wide steel casing was inserted in that sec tion of the hole to reinforce its walls, and reaming with tho smaller bit was started. In another operation, a rescue worker said it may take until sometime Tuesday to finish drill ing a 3-inch hole to the spot where Bova was thought to be trapped. tsova, who was with Fellin and Throne when the mine shaft they were in collapsed Aug. 13, was last heard from on Tuesday. Hopes tliat he would be found alive were dim. Some ofiieials estimated the drill may reach the chamber in which Fellin and Throne are trapped by II a.m., EDT, while others predicted it would not break through until late in the afternoon or evening. Gordon Smith, deputy slate sec retary of mines, and Clyde Mac- liamer, president of the Indepen dent Miners Association, said the reaming operation may be fin ished before noon. Peter Hino, a stale mine inspector, said it might take until dusk. The reaming operation proceed ed slowly, at the rate of a few feet an- how. Periodic delays were caused when new sections had to be added to (he pipe that carries pulverized rock to the surface as the drill goes deeper. Alter dnllmg js completed, the capsule will bo lowered to t h e chamber and raised several times in dry runs before an actual at tempt to lift the men to the sur face is made. Throne, listening to the hum of the drills through the smaller shaft, said, "We're gonna be like (astronaut) John Glenn and come shooting out of this hole." I'll send Hank (Throne) up first," Fellin shouted later. A res cue worker replied: "I figtu-ed you'd say that." George Gallagher, a friend of the two, Sunday night warned Throne that there may be "stuff coming down the hole" from tho drilling. "We got room down the sloiie," Throne said, indicating there was space to shunt aside any loose dirt that might fall. "Nothing is falling now." Elwood Tito, a television re pairman from nearby Hazleton who set up much of the commun ications system to the men, also talked to Throne and told him: "Don't worry, we'll have you fellows up here." '1 don't care if you take me up upside down," Throne said. Dave said that if he can t get in the capsule, he'll crawl up." Throne then woke up the sleep ing Fellin so that he could talk to his wife, Anna, 47. She told him: Hope you're coming up tomor row (today) because I haven t seen you for a long time. Buddy, Buddy." Smith said that after the holo had been widened, it would re quire about two hours to with draw the drill, 30 minutes to hoist the capsule into position and one and a half hours for the test runs with the capsule. The steel casing was lowered by crane into the 38-foot section of the hole with accuracy that Smith called "perfect." Another casing. 20 inches in diameter, was inserted inside of it as an additional safety factor. When Throne and Fellin arc brought up, they will be flown by helicopter to a hospital eight miles away. Two Marine helicopters from Quantico, Va., were standing by for this operation. Bulldozers leveled off part of a hill near the mine to prepare a landing pad for the craft. Bova was in a chamber about j feet away from Throne and Fellin. One of his four brothers, Pete Bova, 3D, a veteran of 12 years in the mines, said at tho scene: "I know he's alive and I know I could get him home."
