Dorm Housing Daughter Of President Picketed AUSTIN, Tex. (UPP-A group of mostly Negro students made good their promise Thursday night to picket the dormitory where President Johnson's daughter lives on the University of Texas campus. The demonstration, carried out under rain and the watchful eyes of the Secret Service, was to protest segregated housing at the school. The President's daughter, Lynda Bird Johnson, was in the Kinsolving Dormitory when 22 pickets marched back and forth on a sidewalk across the street from the building. There were no incidents. Austin police and Secret Serv ice agents, who guard Lynda Bird, kept a close watch on the demonstrators but did not inter fere with them. Two of the signs carried by the pickets quoted a recent speech by President Johnson "It is time to write the next chapter, and to write it in the books of law." Oilier signs read "Delay causes President's daughter to be in segregated housing," and "Tokenism belongs to a dying age." Kinsolving is the largest wom en's dormitory at the univer sity. The demonstration was an nounced earlier by the Campus Interracial Committee. The students said they also would sing in front of the dorm, but one Austin police officer said "it was too cold and wet for that." The committee said Negro classmates of the girls in Kin solving "remain in cramped quarters across the street" and both lost the cultural advantage "which living together can bring." Three Negro students filed a MANY y OTHER STYLES PRICED FROM $12.50 TO $50 - ? .r t suit in federal court Nov. 11, lSKil asking integration of dor mitories at the school and briefs were filed last July. U.S. Dist. Judge Ben H. Rice of San An tonio has not ruled on the case. In November, University of Texas regents announced a new policy of desegregation of all student-activities, including ath letics, but did not integrate dor mitories and dining halls. The regents said the excep tion was made because of the impending suit. William Searman, chairman of the interracial committee, said the fact the President's daughter lived in the dormitory was a factor in choosing it for a demonstration.

Tlie Califomians and Oregoni ans testified before the U.S. Tariff Commission, and t h e Trade Information H e r t e r Three G's Convicted In Killing EVRKUX, France (L'PD-A U.S. Army court martial today found two Negro American sol diers guilty of tlie unpremedi tated murder of a white U.S. airman in a barracks brawl here Sept. 6. A third defendant a white soldier was convicted of tlie lesser charge of involuntary manslaughter in the same case. The court tlien retired to con sider sentences in tlie case arising from the death of Air man I.C. Robert Padgett, 23. Woodlawn. Va., who died in a hospital shortly after the figlit. The two Negro defendants are Pvt. Richard L. Parker Jr., Eckman, W. Va., and iPfc. Ed ward Spears, New York. They faced a maximum penalty of life imprisonment. Tlie white defendant was Pfc. Allen L. Gcrnard. New York. Three years is the maximum penalty for involuntary man slaughter. The military court was com posed of six whites and two Negroes. U.S. officials have denied French press reports that the brawl was Hie culmination of racial hostility between white and Negro servicemen and have attributed the fight to tra- j ditinnal interservice rivalry. j The defendants claim the fight broke out after some air men shouted racial insults at them. A total of six soldiers were charged with Padgett's mur der. Pfc. Raymond Bost Jr., Pittsburgh, and Pfc. Robert Burrell, of Philadelphia, both Negroes, were convicted by an all-white court Nov. 9 and sen tenced to 15 and 12 years, re spectively, at hard labor in Leavenworth federal prison. A sixth defendant, Negro sol dier franklin D. Waddell, il8, Philadelphia, faces trial later. Tlie prosecution charges that the defendants entered the Air Force barracks and launched an unprovoked attack with steel bunk supports, killing (Padgett and injuring other airmen.

JloColiy, president of the Wine Institute at San Fran cisco, said the wine industry's domestic market would be jeop ardized by proposals to 1 o w e r tariffs. He urged that U.S. rep resentatives at forthcoming ne gotiations with the Common Market postpone action on wine tarilfs until agreements are worked out to give all w ine pro ducers "reasonable access to all markets." Spokesmen for the cherry, olive and filbert industries made a similar plea agaiit any re duction in tariffs. Witnesses for the Oregon cherry industry were William R. Shinn, Salem; Courtney D. Las selle, Sherwood-Corvallis, and George 51. Davis. Tlie Dalles. William B. Parker, Stockton, Calif., appeared for San Joa quin County cherry growers. Tlie cherry growers said a "flood of i m p o r t s" resulting from reduced tariffs would threaten tlie continued existence of the industry in Oregon, Cali fornia and Washington. They said growers in Michigan, Ida ho, Utah and New York also would be hurt. Robert h. Forkner.
