PEARSON SHAKES LY 13, 1964 WLP Ea " VOL, 93 -- NO. 163 OSHAWA, ONTARIO, MOND _ Detectives Hunt Georgia Gunman In Race Murder COLBERT, Ga. (AP) -- FBI and Geo state agents con- tinued y to push an inten- tive investigation into the mys- rious shotgun slaying of a ashington Negro educationist. J. J. Casper, assistant direc- lor of the FBI, would say only that the investigation is continu- ing. State investigators fanned out Sunday along the route taken through northeast Georgia by Lemuel Penn, 49, director of Washington's vocational hi gh schools, when he was shot at the wheel of his car early Sa- turday by a night-riding gun- man. Residents along the rural route said agents moved- from house to house in their ques- tioning Sunday, but Public; Safety Director Lowell Conner said there were no arrests and that he had nothing to report. Penn, a lieutenant-colonel in the army reserve, was killed by a shotgun blast fired from a car which suddenly passed his automobile from the rear about 10 miles northeast of Colbert. Two other Negro officers riding with Penn escaped injury. ROBBERY ATTEMPT? Several residents, spurred by a report that Penn was carry- ing a large amount of money, theorized that it was a robbery attempt by someone who had followed the men from Ft, Ben- ning. The three had completed said Penn had only $39 and a government cheque for $543 in his wallet. There was violence in other parts of the South during the weekend, Half Body May Be Rights Man JACKSON, Miss, (AP) -- An autopsy at the University Med- ical Centre on the lower half of a body may yield a clue to- day in the case of three miss- ing civil rights. workers. A fisherman found the de- composed lower torso, its feet bound with rope, Sunday in Old River where it cuts away from the Mississippi about 15 miles south of Tallulah, La. Tallulah is some 125 miles southwest of Philadelphia, Miss., where three civil rights workers disappeared June 2 shortly after their release from jail on a speeding violation. The condition of the body made it impossible to tell the sex or race. But officials im- mediately notified Mississipp and FBI autfiorties searching' for the missing trio. The body a refresher course at the base. was taken to Jackson. An argument involving a Ne- gro and a white man in a recently integrated Henderson, N.C., restaurant led to a riot that was quelled only when po- lice arrested 16 persons. About 200 Negroes and white persons -- including men and women -- took part in the pitched battle using fists, rocks and bottles. Police finally re- stored order about 3 a.m. Sun- day with the arrests of four white men and 12 Negroes. Only one person was injured seriously enough to. require hos- pital care. HIT IN BACK At Lake City, Fla., Charlie Avenger, 18, was hit in the back by buckshot early Sunday but was not badly injured, Po- lice said the shot was fired from a passing car. Two white youths were questioned, but were not charged. In Jackson, Miss., a white man struck a Negro woman with an iron bar while the two were arguing at an integrated bus station lunch counter, The woman, Mrs. Bennie Lee Catchings, 28, was arrested on a charge of disturbing the peace. The man left before po- lice arrived. Eight Negroes dressed in street clothes went to a beach near Charleston, S.C., Sunday, where about 100 white youths roughed them up, beating one severely, But the sheriff disagreed.

By ALAN HARVEY LONDON (CP)--Prime Min- lister Pearson proposed today | that the Commonwealth confer- ence adopt a declaration of ra- cial equality. Speaking first in this morn- ing's discussion of the crucial Southern Rhodesian problem, the Canadian prime minister said: "It would be an objective of policy to build in each country a structure of society which of- fers equal opportunity and non discrimination for all its people, irrespective of race, color or creed. "The Commonwealth should be able to exercise constructive leadership in the application of democratic principles in a man- ner which will enable all peo- ple of the many racial and cul- tural groups in our various countries to exist and develop as free and equal citizens." Pearson suggested these ideas as the basis for the dec- laration by all the prime min- isters and presidents attending this 13th conference which has now passed its halfway mark at Marlborough House, IMPRESSES AFRICANS creek.

But the spokesman said some 3,000 men Crisis Simmers After 'Landings © from Greece in support of the Greek-Cypriots: CALLED ROUTINE The Turkish foreign ministry issued a statement in Ankara Saying that the only Turkish soldiers sent to the island were routine replacements for the regular 650-man Turkish Cy- prus garrison.

He said that 2,300 were Greek-Cypriot university students return- ing home for the summer and 500 were Greek-Cypriots who had "deserted" from the Greek Army to offer their services to the Cyprus government. Maj.-Gen. M. P. G. Carver, the retiring British deputy com- mander of the UN force, denied that UN patrols had seen reg- ular Turkish troops land, but he added: 'We have, though, ob- served the arriving of a num- ber who received military train- ing in Turkey." Of the arrivals from Greece, Carver said: 'Who they are, we don't know. They could be Greeks or Greek-Cypriots from the mainland of Greece, .

What was being done at this conference would be taken as a test of the seriousness of the Commonwealth as an institu- tion. Its acts would be regarded as a "symbol." Speaking specifically of Southern Rhodesia, the Cana- dian prime minister called for the early release from prison of African leaders in the territory, still a British colony though long under minority white Rho- desian rule. He suggested this would be a necessary prelude to any fruitful negotiations be- tween the two sides.
