"A Federal oficial says Q re.
tired postal clerk under arrest

Richard Pavlick, 7S. favored
this plan because he Is vio-
lently anti.C Catholic, Assistant
United States Attorney Robert
Rust said yesterday.
When arrested last Thursday
in West Palm Beach, Pavlick
told reporters he wanted to
kill Kennedy because Of "the
underhanded way he was
elected"
Kennedy money bought the

time. II had the crazy idea
I wanted to stop Kennedy from
being President"
MIR. Rust said Pavlick had
made several plans for turning
himself into O human bomb
The plan to do the Job at 9
church mass was his favorite
and he felt it the one most
likely to succeed.
Pavlick, from Belmont, N. H.
had seven. sticks Of dynamite

Mr.. Brucker on whether the

The letter climaxed a series

a report issued last month by
the university's Operations Re-

with the Army. The report
contained many highly critical
comments on the Nations

Mr.. Moss recalled that the
report was made available to
Congress before being turned

Base on Iceland
Sought by Navy
For Air SCOUTING
BY the Associated Press


The Navy is considering using
Iceland as the base Of opera
tions for airborne early warning
flights covering the vital North
Atlantic Ocean passages.
The Navy now operates SO
aircraft packed with electronic
gear from Argentia, Newfound-
land. These planes have az
their primary mission the de-
lection Of manned aircraft
flights but in recent years SUBJ
marine detection has become
an increasingly important part
Of the job.
Planes operating from New
foundland have great distances
to cover. Operating from Ice
land could require fewer air.
craft and thus cost less.
Iceland's strategic importance
lies In its geographical loca-
ton. Between Iceland and
Greenland is the Denmark
Strait. South and east Of Ice
land Is the Farce Passage. Sub
marines. whether American OF
Russian. would use one or the
other Of these passages for
movement between the North
Atlantic and the Arctic and
Norwegian Seas.
The Navy said final approval
for the shift to Iceland would
require q go-ahead from the
government Of Iceland. The
latter Republic. though lacking
military forces, Is a member OF
NATO.

Some Drown In Ship
Most Of the dead were
brought from the inside of the
ship, trapped there by the fire
that was concentrated orgi-
nally on the main deck.
Some were drowned below in
the torrent Of water poured
into the ship in fighting the
flames. Others suffocated from
smoke.
At the outset, the fire
blocked the gangways leading
to shore and more than 1000
construction workers were re-
moved from the vessel by
launch or crane lift from the
flight deck above the fire.
Some dived into the icy
waters Of the East River and
were picked up. But those
below the fire were the crucial
concern in the terrible drama.
Many Of those-alive and
dead-brought out Of that area
were taken through q hole cut
through the 2ka-inch steel
plate on the ships port side
below the fire level.
Other holes were cut in the
starboard side of the ship so
that fire hoses could be lowered
into the interior to put out

Electors Record Win
For Kennedy, 300-2l9

Both the Republican and
Democratic electors In Hawaii
cast their three votes, hoping
it can be decided by January
6 which candidate had won TIE
State. That is the date when
Congress in joint session will
officially count the electoral
votes.
Since the Hawaiian votes
can't affect the result, 1t is
possible Congress will simply
disregard them.
Electors are considered to be
under o moral obligation to
vote for the candidate who
wins their State-but no law
says he must do so.
One ElectOr Balks
In fact. one jumped the
traces. Though Mr.. Nixon
carried Oklahoma, Elector
Henry D. Irwin Of BartleSville
insisted on voting for Senator
Byrd for President and Senator
Goldwater. Republican Of Ari-
iona, for Vice President.
And Senator Byrd collected
IA more votes from electors In
Mississippi and Alabama who
ran as unpledged to any can
didate. These II voted for
Senator Turmond, Democrat
of South Carolina, for Vice
President. -.
The Southerners had tried
to persuade other electors to
go along with their revolt
against the major parties, but
got no takers except Mr.. Irwin.
They had hoped to prevent
Senator Kennedy's getting a
clear majority Of the electoral
vote, which would have thrown
the presidential election into
the House Of Representatives.
The fact that electors are not
legally obligated to vote for the
winning candidate in their
State Is one Of the things most
criticized about the cumber-
some Electoral College System.

Mrs. Hucks
Loses Plea
For Release

Sally Hucks. former chief
telephone operator Of the
Woodner Apartments, lost a
District Court bid for freedom
from st. Elizabeths Hospital
today.
District Court Judge George
L. Hart, jr.. turning down a
habeas corpus petition, said
that District Court Judge
Burnits s. Matthews did not
act arbitrarily and capri
ciously" when she committed
Mrs. Hucks to the hospital on
December 8 for q 90-day men
tai examination.
Mrs: Hucks had been charged
with conspiracy in the alleged
destruction Of telephone rec
ords at the Woodner sought by
q congressional committee in
vestigating activities Of Team
sterS Union Boss James Hoffa.
The case ended in a mistrial
on December 7 when her for
mer attorney, H. Clifford ALI
der, asked for the mental ex-
animation, saying that his
client was mentally Ill and un-
able to assist in her defense.
Mrs. Hucks fired Mr.. Alder
later the same day. but Judge
Matthews refused to let the
dismissal Of the attorney go
into effect until after the men
tai examination had been or
dered.
Today Mrs. Huck's new law
yer, Benedict F. Fitzgerald, jr.,
said that nine psychiatrists
have reported his client is Of
sound mind.
Judge Hart said, however, he
had noted that the doctors
have also reported that they
want more time to examine
the woman.
He added that Judge Mat
thews had full authority under
court rules to order the men,
tai examination on her own,
even though Mrs. Hucks had
fired the lawyer who had orr
ginally sought the examination.
