2. Mob activity.
3. Disorders eliminating De-

Defense Contentious
The defense has q number
of contentious to refute the
Governments charges. Among
these are:
/, No conspiracy has been
proved because no conspiracy
ever existed.
2. Judge Taylor's Injunction,
by its broad language, violates
the First Amendment to the
Constitution and is therefore
illegal and of no force.
3. The preacher who walked
to school with the colored
children was the one who
touched off the trouble, not the
Clinton 10.
4. kaSper wasn't involved in
the riots of December 4 because
he was not in town, and with
out Kasper there could be no
conspiracy.
5. The matter of the beat
ing OF the preacher already has
been handled in local court
In Clinton and in any case in
wolves violation of no Federal
statute. Therefore, Judge Tay-
lor has no jurisdiction in this
case.
6. White Citizens Councils

said students had taken over the
college with "the acquiescence if
not the consent" of DR.. Otis.
The announcement made no
reference to Clennon King, a
history professor whose news
paper articles were blamed by
the students for the walkout.
Mr. King dealt with segregation
in his articles and criticized the
National Association for the Adj
vancement of Colored People for
having done nothing locally for
southern Negroes.

asked to retract that action.
DR.. Otis told reporters an un-

possibly as many as 90. had
sought readmission and that
some were back in class.

is. President H. G. Carpenter of

The spokesman did not an

Mr., Kings rights under his
contract.
King Charges Threat
The professor left the campus
hurriedly yesterday. saying his
life had been threatened. He left
after making a fearful appeal
to the students to read his
articles and then take a secret
ballot on whether they wanted
him to go. They had been told
at the mass meeting by Dean

appear before them to resign.

FIRST OIL FOR ISRAEL

EILAT, Israel, R-A 16,000-ton American tanker sailed into Eilat Saturday with the first cargo of crude oil ever to be brought to this Israeli port on the Gulf of Aquaba.
 The vessel, whose identity was not disclosed and is not likely to be, for security reasons, passed unmolested through the United Nations controlled Tran Strait at the entrance to the Gulf of Aqaba
 There was no official word as to where the oil had been shipped but unofficial sources said it came from the Persian Gulf.
 From Eilat it is to be pumped through the newly laid eight-inch pipeline to Beersheba, central Is- rael, and from there it will be transported in tank wagons by rail to Haifa refineries.
 Although the vessel was the first tanker of any nationality to drop anchor at Eilat, at least sev- en cargo ships have passed thru the straits dominating the Sharm el Sheikh region of southern Si- mai without incident since the Israeli evacuation March 8.
 Later this month when the pipe line is completed, oil will flow for 1855 miles across the Negev Desert to Beersheba.

 The 76-year-old cardinal had been ill with kidney disorder and circulatory trouble for more than a year. His death reduced the College of Cardinals to 59 members. At full strength it has 70 members.
 Because of the severity of the cardinals views and his sharp differences with Generalissimo Francisco Francois government, the Vatican had relieved him of his administrative functions in Sevilla two years ago, turning them over to his coadjutor.
