act to the fullest extent Of his
powers" Mr.. Ryan declared.
ut is a sad commentary that
Congress has not been willing
to extend the powers Of the
Federal Government in the
area of civil rights. But there
are laws on the books which
should be used"
The criminal anarchy statute
to which Mr.. Ryan referred is
a Louisiana law which makes
it a crime to advocate or to
teach opposition to the govern
ment of that State by violence
or by other unlawful means.
Under that law it also is a
crime to belong knowingly to
any organization practicing OPP
position to the government of
Louisiana by violence or other
unlawful means.
Youth Testifies

New Orleans and one Of the
young college students charged
with criminal anarchy, testified

quiry. Mr.. Moore. a former
student of sociology at South

Rouge. told about events lead

Knife Bandit
Case Takes a
Turnabout

The off-again, on-again case
'of Charles Nimmons made a
complete orbit today in District
Court.
In less than one hour Of
swift judicial proceedings, MINI
mons. 20. was ordered released
from jail and then the order
was vacated when a new part
of his strange story came to
light.
Nimmons of the $500 block
of Blaine street NE. was found
guilty three weeks ago Of rob-
bing a Northeast Washington
store last September.
The man who held up the
store, police said, wore a stock
ing mask. carried a butcher
knife, threatened to cut a
woman's throat and took $420.
Nimmons, who denied any
connection with the robbery or
with any of the butcher knife"
holdupS of the past three years,
was convicted.
New Suspect Seized
While he was awaiting SEN
fencing, police captured a new
butcher knife bandit" suspect
who repeatedly told them that
he committed the robbery for
which Nimmons was convicted.
The new suspect. Roy Mitch
ell, 90, of the 200 block OF
Thirty-seventh place Sc, has
also told police he staged a
number of other knife bandit"
holdups, investigators said.
Nimmons' court appointed
lawyer, Albert L. Ledgard, jr.,
today asked Judge David A
Pine for a new trial for MINI
mons because the new evidence
seems to indicate he might
have been convicted by mis-
take.
Nimmons was brought to
Judge Pines courtroom, where
he heard the Judge order him
released without bond until
such time as Mitchell either
pleads guilty or innocent to
the September robbery.
Sudden Development
At this point, it appeared
that Nimmons would be tenn
porarily free. But his hopes
were dashed minutes after
Nimmons left the courtroom tc
be processed for release by
United States marshals.
At a hastily-conevned new
hearing, Judge Pine was tolo
for the first time that police
have received detainers from
Maryland for Nimmons in con-
nection with two knife holdupS
there. The Government, in
view Of this, said it now op-
posed Nimmons' release.
Judge Pine, who indicated
annoyance that he had not
been given all the facts at the
first hearing, vacated his re.
lease order and continued thu
proceedings until Monday II
see what happens to the Mary
land charges, which Mitchell
undoubtedly is to be questioned
about.

More Sea Food
Mr.. Kennedy said we can
also make. extraordinary gains
in getting food from our ocean
depths" which would double tn
amount of protein available to
people around the world. He
said many of them are living
liStlessly" because of a lack of
protein in their diets.
"Harnessing science to con-
servation problems is going to
be the biggest contribution of
our day." Mr.. Kennedy said.
Mr.. Kennedy also listed as a
scientific contribution the new
uses of minerals.
"All these are things science
can bring in these days." he
said.
Mr., Kennedy also told the
conference he is hopeful that,

He noted that America has

aid to underdeveloped coun-

NAM Critical
Earlier, the exclusion of pri-
vate industry members from an
active role in the conference
was criticized by a National
Association of Manufacturers
representative.
THE exclusion Of non-Gov-
ernment participants leaves
this White House conference
wide open to the possible charge
that this is a 'brainwashing
operation" Samuel S. johnson
chairman of the MANS Con-
servation Committee, said.
Mr.. johnson, a partner OF
the Tite Knot Pine Mill OF
Redmond, Greg, has been at
tending the meeting as an in
vited representative of industry
Nor has there been any
opportunity for private enter
prise to tell the story of the
many conservation programs
that American industry ha:
initiated or of the ones in which
it is cooperating so fully with
the Government" he added.
Interior Secretary Udall, an
swering Mr.. Johnson's charge
said that the conference is
limited to a day-and-a-hali
and that he believes time
allowed for questions from the
floor allows private industry tc
participate.

Regarded as Mistake
A number of savings and loan

going to be a great mistake to
raise dividends at this time, but
Interstate'S action left them no
choice.
Joseph P. McMurray, chair
man of the Federal Home Loan
Bank Board, has been urging
savings and loan associations to
hold the line on dividends VOL
unfairly to prevent develop
ment of unsound loan practices,
inadequate reserves and other
by-products of excessive COM
petition for savings.
Recently he expressed deep
disappointment in results of
the boards efforts to win vol
untary cooperation of the
associations in restraining di-
Sidend increases and said he
planned to ask Congress to-
authorize the FHLBB to fix
maximum rates as the Federal
Reserve Board does for COM
1nercial banks.
: He pointed to dividend in
creases to as high as Az per
cent among West Coast asso-
Citations and said he could see
no justification for them. The
high West Coast rates tend to
draw savings from all sections
Of the Nation and prevent their
use in the communities in which
they originate.
! Wants Adequate Rates
However, Mr.. McMurray has
acknowledged the need for divi-
dends adequate to compete for
savings along with higher saw
lngs interest rates of CONNER
cial banks.
1.-The higher savings rates of
commercial banks, which be-
came effective January 1, have
had a notable impact on the
inflow of savings into savings

ing those in Washington.

- Delegate Alexander Stark,
Democrat of Baltimore 5th dis

to restore merit system status
to about 1000 nonfaculty en-
