QUESTION UNANSWERED All of this, of course, added up to a by-play to a convention which had only one real un- answered question -- who did Johnson want for his running mate? Senator Hubert H.

Tha CINCINNATI (AP) tae grim two-day search for little Debbie Dappen ended late Fri- day night when a reporter found her body under a poren just < block from her home. Police say a 14-year-old boy who earl- ier had reported finding the girl's shoe in a culvert has ad- mitted killing her. Police Chief James Finan of suburban Fairfax said George Rickey Jr., at first denied know- ing how the four-year-old girl's body got under his porch. The chief said young Rickey later admitted killing the girl after she screamed when he made sexual advances. Debbie disappeared after lunch Wednesday. Hundreds of volunteers 'helped police search for her, But there was no con crete clue to Debbie's fate un- til Friday when young Rickey brought one of Debbie's shoes to police and said he had found it in a culvert. Finan decided late Friday night to ask the youth some more questions about the shoe --mainly how he had come to find it in an area that had been. thoroughly searched. SEARCH HOUSE When Finan, patrolman Harry Smith and crime reporter Frank Weikel of the Cincinnati Enquirer came to the Rickey Home, young George was asleep. His mother, Mrs. Alicia Rickey readily permitted police to. search the house, and Weikel trained under the porch, Weikel crawled in and rummaged through some old building ma- terials stored there; He lifted some clapboards and found Debbie's body. "T stabbed her with a kitchen Teen Admits Slaying, Reporter Finds Body knife to stop her screaming, then I choked her because I was afraid she'd tell her mother," Finan quoted the burly crew-cut boy as saying under questioning later. Rickey took the girl's body from the living room to the bathroom where he washed off the blood, and carried the body downstairs to hide it under the porch, Finan said. No one else was home.

LEOPOLDVILLE (AP)--The Congolese Army has won a major victory that may pro- vide Premier Moise Tshombe's struggling government. with a psychological boost in its fight against Communist-backed in- surgents. The government' had control today of the heavily damaged northeastern city of Bukavu after a savage three-day battle jthat left at least 300 dead, in- icluding perhaps seven Euro- peans, Ex-Katangan gendarmes airlifed in U.S. transport planes, joined Congolese troops in scat- tering the rebels and regaining control of the capital of Kivu province. The battle marked the army's first key military success in months following repeated rebel advances. It enabled the cen- tral government' to maintain at least a toehold in the Eastern Congo, where rebels control the big cities of Albertville and Stanleyville. Tshombe's government began the expulsion of citizens of the former French Congo, Burundi and Mali, Trucks, buses and taxis took the deportees to the Congo River for the two-miic ferry ride to.

OTTAWA (CP) -- There didn't appear much danger of it anyway, but Prime Minister Pearson says any defeat of the government on the flag issue won't result in the fall of the Liberal administration and a consequent general election. He said in the Commons Fri- day that all MPs will be free to vote as they choose on the flag, no matter what - official party policies might dictate. He thus ditched his hard line-- that the government would re- gard as a test of confidence its proposal for a maple leaf flag. The other parties have indi- cated they favor a free vote as well. : Whether a free vote . with party discipline removed will cause manhy--or any--MPs to change their views appeared doubtful. Quebec Conservatives and New Democratic, Social Credit and Creditiste party members had already made clear they would vote for a distinctive na- tional flag--enough to give the minority Liberal government a comfortable majority. The search for a compromise on the flag issue ended in fail- ure Friday -- temporarily at least--after three meetings dur-' ing the week among the five party leaders. Free Flag Vote ' Mr. Pearson said in the Com- reach agreement on a for the future meetings of party or floor' leaders on a possible compro- mise.

The rebels retreated west- ward Friday toward Shabunda in the face of a fierce Congo- lese counterattack. Col.

Two U.S.-made T-28 planes equipped with machine - guns and rockets pounded rebel posi- tions. They were reported to be flown by anti-- Castro Cuban exiles.

Rain Swamps CNE Opening, Gate Down TORONTO (CP) -- Rain poured down but relatively few people poured through the gates of the Canadian National Exhibition for its opening day Friday. The opening day attendance was 91,500 compared with 124,- 500. in 1963.
