New Regime
May Uncover
Ala. Slayer
By REX THOMAS

PHENIX CITY, Ala. Up - Inves-
tigators hurting the phantom kill.
er of A. L. Patterson intensified
their search today in hope that
witnesses kept silent by fear may
talk now that Phenix City is under
limited martial law.
There were encouraging signs
the first "A hours after Gov. Cor
don Persons stripped Phenix City
police and Russell County sheriff's s
officers of all authority and re-
placed them with battle-hardened
National Guard troops.
Acting Atty. Gen. Bernard Sykes,
expressing belief that the unpre-
cedented military rule would
''open the way to new informa-
tion," told newSmen yesterday he
had noticed an increase in tele-
phone calls and other contacts
from residents apparently willing
10 tell what they might know.
Fear Told
He had remarked earlier there
were rumors many persons were
afraid to talk before the civilian
law enforcement officers were dis
armed and relieved of their au-
thority.
It was five weeks ago last night
that Patterson was shot to death
on a downtown street before ne
could take office as attorney gen.
eral, a job he had won on a pledge
to rid Phenix City and all Alabama
of organized crime and racketeer-
ing.
His son, John, has since been
nominated for the same office on
q promise to carry out the cleanup
campaign his father started.
Meanwhile, National Guardsmen
and State Patrolmen worked
around the clock performing the
police functions taken away from
the civilian officers.
