MONROE, N. c., Aug. 81
(AP).-Two Negroes and a j
white youth were charged late
last night with kidnapping in
the seizure of a white couple
during the height of racial
tension here last Sunday.
On Monday the Union County
grand jury indicted Robert F.

Monroe Negro, on the capital
crime of kidnapping in the same
case.
Authorities said last night
three members of the Monroe
Non-Violent Action Committee

kidnapping. They were identi-
fled as Richard Crowder, 10,

and John Cecil Lowry, 20,
white, of the Bronx, N. Y.

home here last night. They re-
ported they found a small arse
nal of weapons, including at
least one automatic rifle.

Russian origin. State Bureau
of Investigation Agent John
Vanderford reported the
weapon, Of large caliber, bore
a hammer and sickle emblem on
its side.
Williams, who with his wife
and two children hasn't been
seen since he was indicted, had
boasted he was accumulating
weapons in his home to meet
violence with violence.
The weapons were in the attic
of the Crowder youths home,
police said. The guns, officers
stated, were among those COL
lected by Williams.
The Monroe Non-Violent Ac-
ton Committee led eight days
Of picketing in the Courthouse
Square area until an inter-
racial fight broke out Sunday.

Charles Coburn Dies;
Famed Actor Was "a

NEW YORK, Aug. 81 (AP).-
Veteran Actor Charles Coburn.
whose distinguished face, gruff
voice and ready wit were IA
miliar to audiences for more
than half a century, is dead
at "a.
He died of heart failure at
LenoX Hill Hospital yesterday,
shortly after undergoing minor
throat surgery. He had entered
the hospital Monday for a
checkup.
More active than many men
half his age, Mr.. Coburn came
here after completing a six-day
run only Sunday night in an
Indianapolis production of You
Can't Take It with You"
The stage performance was
the last for a man who found
his calling, his first success and
the great love of his life on the
stage.
Screen Start at so
He began a movie career at
the age of 60 and also appeared
on radio and television, but he
never lost his great devotion to
the live theater, and he felt it
was the only true training
ground for actors.
He left a full-time career on
the stage for the screen in 1897,
on the death of his first wife,
the former Ivah Wills. He had
met her in 1905 while playing
Orlando to her Rosalind in a
touring company'S production
of LAS You Like It."
Thereafter, the two became a
theatrical love legend. They
were inseparable on stage and
off, and, in private life, con-
tinued to address each other as
Orlando" and "Rnsa!ind."
Her death came as a great
blow to Mr.. Coburn, and he did
not remarry until % years later
when, in a Las Vegas ceremony,
he married Mrs. Winifred Jean
Clements Natzka, a widow
exactly half his age. She was
with him at his death.
Mr.. Coburn's versatility as
an actor was as polished as the
monocle he wore to combat
aStigmatism, and the dignity
he brought to his craft was as
real as his ever-present cigar.
Native of Georgia
Charles Douville Coburn was
born in Macon, Ca, on June
10, 1877. He began his career
at IA as a program boy in the
famous old Savannah Theater
and became the theater'S man
ager three years later.
But he was determined to be-
come an actor and, at the age
of 10, he came to New York.
He did odd jobs-wrapping
packages, ushering in a theater,
even riding in a bicycle race
to support himself until a
Broadway opportunity came
along.
Finally, his money gave out,
and he went home-only to
find a telegram there offering
him a job as advance man for
an attraction touring the Mid
west.

Kennedy Sees
Need 10 Better
Worker Laws

President Kennedy today
called for completion of the
unfinished business" of social
legislation as he took part in
a White House ceremony mark
ing the 50th anniversary of
the first workmen'S compensa- =
ton law.
The ceremony on the South
lawn of the White House COM
'memorated the passage of the
law in Wisconsin in 1911. It
also was marked by the pres
entation of a commemorative
stamp that will go on sale for
the first time in Milwaukee on
Labor Day.
With Vice President johnson,
members of the Cabinet, Gov.
Gaylord A. Nelson of Wiscon-
sin. and members of Congress
present, the President paid
tribute to WiSconSin'S leader
ship in passing the first work
mems compensation law.
Notes Landmark"
This first step to provide
security for American working
men who may have been in
jured, to provide security for
their families if they may have
been fatally injured" the PreSi-
dent said, represents one of
the great landmarks of social
legislation on our books in the
long history of this country
That promising beginning had
meant security to millions OF
Americans, and it represents
the kind of forward-looking
action on State and national
level, the need for which faces
us in our own day in 1861.
I'VE look back today, but we
also look forward, and we
recognize that in our time
there is still a good deal of un-
finished business"
This unfinished business, the
President added, includes pro-
viding more security for younger
people who want jobs and can't
find them, more security for the
unemployed, and greater care
for older citizens and those who
are chronically i'll.
"I believe it is the national
responsibility in the SOS and
the national opportunity, as it
was the responsibility and the
opportunity of the Wisconsin
State Legislature in 1911, for
us to meet this problem of
medical care for our older citi-
zens, and better medical care
for all our citizens" the Presi-
dent said.
Promises Action
He added that 1--WE mean to
take advantage of that oppor-
tunity and meet that RESPONSE
bility."
Postmaster General Day
presided at the ceremony and
presented albums of the COM
memorative stamp to the
President, Gov. Nelson and to
Theodore w. Brazeau, of
Wisconsin Rapids, who was a
member of the 1911 Wisconsin
Legislature.
In addition to the President
and the Postmaster General,
other speakers included Gov,
Nelson and Secretary of Labor

THE FORMFIT
"UNDER IS" BRA
a Bra especially designed for
the Young Woman whose age
is Is or younger

Let's soy you ore between the oees Of twenty
and twenty-five. You have certain interests
in what you wear, how you look, and in what
feels good on you-ond these interests ore
likely to be quite different from those Of
very young girl or even those of very slightly
oIder-yet still 'youne" Formfit,
storting several years oeo, began to research
large percentage Of the female population.
One Of the first things thot became clear wos
that these differences did actually exist Next,
by carefully questioning various oge groups,
the special needs of the Under-25's became
apparent Equally apparent, once Formfit
knew what these needs were, was what to do
about them in the designing of q bro.
Next came q period Of several months check
ing the final design on enough of the Under
25's to be certain of its fit and other chor-
octerstics. After q few minor notifications,
this is the Ultimate resuIt-occIoimed as q
wonderful achievement and introduced to the
general public here for the first time.
Evening star., 1961-08-27

ne T2ure OF the Snder.Z5 is firmer: That
is why "Under-25" by Forrfit wos styled to
conform to the typical bustine of the group,
rather than to mold it to q pre- conceived
shoPe The Under-25 is q natural, high, round
ed shoPe
The Under.25 is aware that her exact pro.
portions change from day to day: She wants
support in bro, but it must be soft and only
sufficient to keep delicate tissues from break
ing down-not to harness her in. "Under-25"
has soft felt lift that gives gentle and nat
uro upward and forward support - not
throughout the entire underbust portion but
only where needed
The Under.25 feels a keen need for being
fashionable and well-dressed She is either
in school, at work, or leads the kind of home
life that takes her out into the public eye
frequently. She knows that she can not look
her best if she does not feel we'll oroomed
from the skin out Thot is why the Fomfit
"Under-25" is pretty, with circle stitching,
deIicote-Iookine petals and crisp, cool cotton.
The under-orm portion is low and comfortable
low enough to wear under sleeveless
fashions
Time is precious to the Under-25: She wants
we'll dressed, scrubbed look, but clothes must
be cosy to core for. The "Under-2S" bra is
oII-cotton, quality made. Toss it in the wosh-
ing machine, it comes out clean and shaped
just like the doy it wos bought Suds in the
wash basin at night and, otter thorough
rinse, toss it over ine-its ready to put on
again in the morning.
A bra that is comfortable all day long is a
must for the "Under.25": The bro she puts
on in the morning is the bro she will want to
wear until she gets home in the evening" As
result, it must be comfortable all day. So,
Formfit "Under-25" has enough band to be
comfortable without bind or curl; enough
elastic in front to allow comfortable breathing
and expansion Of its weorer's flexible rib
coge; enough elastic in back to allow for 3D.
justrnent and for comfortable movements Of
arms and body.
The Under-25 wants to keep within her
budget: Her budget does have limit, but
she doesn't want to give up quality while shop
ping within her own price range. That is why
"Under IS" is value priced at 2.5O 1t comes
in q complete range Of sizes 32A to 38C.

Ice Island Encounters A Sharp Rise in the Continental Shelf

BARROW tR - Max Brewer, Director of the Arctic Research Laboratory, said that the labora- tory's Ice Island scientific sta- tion has encountered a sharp rise in the continental shelf northwest of here.
 He said the floating station, Arlis II Arctic Research Labora- tory's second station), was about 250 miles north and 175 west of Barrow.
 It is drifting over the conti- mental shelf in a northWesterly direction at the rate of about four miles day.
 Brewer said the station report ed last Thursday that the depth of water beneath the island had decreased from 7,50O feet to 1,200 feet, indicating 6,300-foot rise of the bottom.
 There are II scientists and four support personnel on Arlis II at the present time.
 Scientific projects "are moving at full steam now" and the sta- tion is free of snow, said Brewer. Since the station was established on May 23 it has drifted about 150 miles in northWesterly direction.
 Scientists have found musk OK horn, fish remains and plants indigenous to the rock of the island, which is believed to have broken off Ellesmere Island in the Canadian Archipelago.
 Brewer said two of the sci entists on the station are attempt ing to make definitive determina- tion concerning the islands ori- gin.
 The island has a flair amount of fog' and the temperature re- mains at about one or two de- grees above zero, Brewer said.
 The island, not to be confused with sea ice, stands higher than the ice pack and the height of it's rock hills is greater than the Bar row hills, Brewer said.
 "One of the Eskimos on Arlis II said he thought he was back in the Brooks Range"

Report Must Be Made on Killing of Game Animals In Defense of Life"

The Alaska Department of Fish and Game reminded the public recently that although the Alaska Game Regulations specifically provide that game animals may be killed in defense of life or prop erty, this regulation also provides that written report giving the circumstances of such taking must be made to the department within Is days.
 James w. Brooks, Director of the Division of Game, stated that there have been several instances of persons taking game in defense of life or property in various areas of the state this spring, and in al- most all of these cases, it was necessary for department person. nel to make an investigation to find the persons involved and re- quest them to submit report as required by the regulations.
 Brooks also pointed out that the emergency taking" provision was amended by the Alaska Depart ment of Fish and Game to pro- vide that reasonable effort must be made to protect life or prop erty by means other than the de- struction of game. The change was made, Brooks said, because some people had been using the regulation as an excuse for want only shooting big game animals, while other people were leaving garbage cans and refuse in places where they would attract bears and then shooting the bears rather than making any attempt to clean up the refuse.
 Bears, moose and bison are the animals which most frequently threaten life or property in Alas ka; these animals can frequently be frightened away by shooting over their heads or shouting and often would present no problem if the causes of their being at tracted to the vicinity of humans were removed. If it does become necessary to shoot them, a depart ment representative should be called as soon as possible, said Brooks, and written report must be submitted within Is days.

Six Alaska Cities Plan Gala Events On Labor Day

It's been said that all an Alas kan needs for a celebration is an excuse to have one. Labor Day is just such an occasion and at least six Alaskan communities plan "all-out" celebrations the first weekend in September. All the celebrations are alike in one respect - there's no limit to the fun and levity. But each celebra- tion boasts a difference from the others, too, a theme or setting that makes it unique.
 At Ketchikan, for instance, the celebration will include a Log gers Rodeo. Strong strapping log gers, fresh out of the woods and anxious to display their strength and proWess, will compete in dar- ing high climbing contests, power saw bucking competitions, axe throwing games, and the tradi- tional log rolling events.
 At Haines, visiting automobile enthusiasts will be treated to an exhibition of driving skills by representatives of two countries the U. S. and Canada. The Yu- kon Automobile Club of White horse, Yukon Territory, holds it's annual gymkhana at Haines, matching drivers from the ter ritory, Fairbanks, and surround ing areas. At Haines, too, visitors have the opportunity to see Alas ka's most famous Indian entertain ment group, the Chilkat Dancers.
 The traveller steps back into yesteryear in SkagWay, the his tory-rich gold stampede town where even today the spirit of pioneer days persists. Parades, concession booths, and contests are scheduled for the Labor Day weekend, as is Skagway's world famous re-enactment of the Days of '98" which the town puts on for visiting cruise ships. Including in the '98 celebration is gambling for play money) and "T'he Shoot ing of Dan McGrew."
 Fishing provides the theme at Valdez as "The Switzerland of Alaska" finishes up it's Silver Salmon Derby which runs Au- gust 6 thru Labor Day. With thou sands of dollars in prizes at stake, excitement and interest run high during the closing days in this seacoast city.
 The Alaska State Fair at Pal mer produces a fun-filled festi- val unmatched anywhere else in the nation Running Sept. 1 through Labor Day, the fair covers the usual range of state fair activities and contests, plus some uniquely Alaskan activities. These include Eskimo dances and blanket toss exhibitions and sled dog races.
