Dalton Decision
Cheers 6. 0. P.
He Is Willing to Rur
For Governor
BY MARY LOU WERNER
Star Stan Correspondent

ROANOKE. Va, July SOP
timistic Virginia Republicans as
sembled here today for their 1857
State convention, cheered by Ted
Dalton's last-minute announce
ment that he will accept the
G. o. P. nomination for governor
If the party wants him.
Ever since the State Senator
from Radford collected IS pei
cent of the popular vote as the
Republican nominee for governor
four years ago, he has been his
party's one and only choice to
run again.
But Senator Dalton did not
let 1t be known until late yester-
day that he was willing to head
the @. O.P. ticket in November
and he again insisted that he
hoped another candidate could
be found.
Cites Sense Of Duty
The reluctant candidate said
his sense of duty" compels him
to continue the fight for 800, 600
school children of Virginia
against the cutoff the funds
close-the-schools program of the
Democratic leadership"
Senator Dalton has been a per-
sistent critic of the legislation
promoted by Gov. Stanley to
withhold State funds and close
schools wherever indignation oc-
ours. He has advocated a local
pupil assignment program. which
he claims is the best method TO
keep white schools white, and
keep them open.

Subs Fly
Red Flag Sill
3 Boots Soviet Sold
Seen in Alexandria

The three submarines which
the Soviet Union repeatedly has
sold to Egypt are still flying the
Soviet flag. according to infor-
nation received at the State De-
Ipartment early this week.
The two long-range subs and
one coastal sub were still in
Alexandria at that time, officials
here said today.
Washington estimates it will
take one to two years of addi-
Itional training before the SUBJ
marines can be operated by
Egyptians, despite the experience
Egyptian crews received at Gdy-
mia Poland, in the Baltic last
summer.
The Cairo press announced
June 10 that Egypt had pur-
chased the submarines.
Aqaba Use Seen
There has been speculation
that Egypt obtained the subs at
this time to strengthen its posi-
ton in the Gulf Of Aqaba, where
Israel stationed two fighting
ships last November, at the time
of her invasion Of the Egyptian
Sinai.
The Israeli ships have been
variously reported as small patrol
boats and deStroyers.
Israel claims. with United
States backing, that the Gulf of
Aqaba is an international water
way. The Arab states, led by
Egypt and Saudi Arabia, con-
tend the Gulf is Arab territorial
water and that the Arabs thus
can deny Israel access to her
Negev port of Flat.
Before last falls Sinai inva-
sion by Israel, Egypt maintained
a coastal battery at Sharm Ell
Sheikh. guarding the entrance to
the Gulf of Aqaba at the Strait
of Tiran. to prevent Israel from
using the port.
UNEF Remains
The United Nations Emer-
gency Force took over thee Sharm
lei Sheikh post when Israeli
forces withdrew from Sinai.
UNEF is still there.
In the last couple Of months
there have been about 70 pass
ages of the Gulf Of Aqaba. going
both ways. Fewer than 10 vessels
participated, but there we're ships
of many nations, including those
OF Arab states.
Saudi Arabia has protested to
the United Nations recently
about Israeli military activity in
the Gulf Of Aqaba area.
Saudi authorities also have
complained TO he United States
Ambassador. George Wads-
worth, about the American atti-
|tpde that the gulf is an inter-
pational waterway.

Clinton Awaits
kasper's Trial
Leaders Concerned
AS the Crisis Neurs
BY WILLIAM HINES
star stan Correspondent

CLINTON, Tenn, July S.
Fate and the within of one young
Yankee have selected this singu-
larly untypical Southern town
as the backdrop before which
"a typically Southern drama is
about to be played.
In District Judge Robert l.
Taylor's Federal Courtroom al
Knoxville, Is miles southeast OF
here, there will open Monday
"a trial involving Frederick John
Kasper and IS others on charges
of criminal contempt of court
The 28-year-old Kasper is the
only defendant without ties to
this pleasant town Of 1000
nestled in the Tennessee foot
hills between the Cumberland
plateau and the Great Smokes
He is from New Jersey by way OF
Greenwich Village and George
town.
There Is q feeling here OF
confusion-of a sense Of out
rage-at having been duped by
a glib opportunist young North
erner into making their town
the focus Of q national scandal:
a sense of anger at the Fed
eral marshals for dragging away
solid citizens in handouts like
so many common thieves; q
sense of helplessness at having
tackled something-the majesty
of the law-that turned out to
be bigger than Clinton, the
county seat of Anderson County,
Tenn.
No BackwOOds Town
Clinton is no backwoods Dixie
town; there isn't even a Con-
federate soldier leaning on his
rifle in the courthouse square
The people here are well over
80 per cent Republican and
about IS per cent white. They
are even closer to 100 per cent
Protestant; only three Catholic
families live in Clinton, and two
Knoxville Jews operate bust
nesses here.
II Clintonians fought last De-
cember to preserve the Southern
way Of life las some suggested
they did,, 1t wasn't because Their
granddaddies died for that way
OF life. Their granddaddies, BY
and large, supported the Uni6r
side.
Clinton is no poor town. Ever
its 200-odd Negroes live decently
enough. and the white portions
of the town bristle with TV an
tennas and glisten in the re-
fiected glory Of new cars.
Unified In Belief
Nor is Clinton a naive town
unused to the benefits-anC
drawbacks-of big government
Sixteen miles northeast lies Nor.
ris Dam, the first of the Tennes-

Justice Association today at
tackled lenient prosecution in
gambling cases and warned that
those involved in such offenses
will not be discouraged until
our courts give sentences to At
the crime"
In its 21st annual report, the
association called gambling
prosecutions "the least encour-
aging picture"
The report implied that the
taxpayers money for police and
prosecutors was wasted by the
lenient treatment afforded gam
blers. At the same time. it at
tackled delays in bringing gam
blers to trial.
The association. analyzing po-
lice, court and corrections op-
erations, reported that in 1856
the grand jury returned 1872 in
dictments for gambling. OF
these, the report stated. SO
pleaded guilty and 80 others
were found guilty-or 61.4 per
cent of the indictments.
as Cases Pending
Only one person was acquitted,
the report added, but As cases
were still pending at the end of
the year despite the fact that
the accused individuals had been
arraigned in January or Febru-
airy, 1856. Twenty-six persons
were dismissed by the court. Of
whome six were charged with
operating without a Federal
gambling tax stamp.
Discussing sentences, the re-
port noted that Of the 118 per-
sons convicted on gambling
charges, the longest sentence was
one of two-to-six years.
OF the others, the report said.
as were put on probation, two
were fined $50 and one was fined
$500; IS drew sentences Of one
year or less: and 40 were SEN
fenced to serve three years or
less. Six persons were dismissed
when q mistrial was declared and
the case was passed.
The association said it also
was significant that while many
defendants charged with other
offenses we've represented by
Contemplated counsel. only
six Of the 1872 persons charged
with gambling asked the court
to appoint counse, for them.

Expense Questioned
Reporting that operation of

ing 1856 cost $4,000, the asso-
citation said that when the cost
of prosecuting attorneys, trial OF
cases and other expenses was
weighed against the convictions

this costly process has served as
a deterrent to persons engaged
in the gambling racket and how

The association reached these
other conclusions and recon-

The Police Department solved
more major crimes than any
other comparable metropolitan
area in the United States, with a
clearance rate of 67.3 per cent
