ROzelle Last Witness

During a recess Hunt was
asked by reporters about ru-
mors that the two Dallas teams
had discussed the possibility of
a merger. He said they had sew
eral talks but that nothing
came of them. He added that
it would be virtually impossible
now, since it would cost the
Texans $1.4 million in penalties
to the seven other ALF teams
if they tried to make such a
move.

MorshoI|'s EogerIyAwoitedO Orotory
Cut Short in AFL- Court Battle

Marshall said he opposed the
NILS expansion from IL to II
clubs because it was "imprac-
tical and unsound." He charged
that Clinton Hester, whom he
identified as a registered lob
byist on Capitol Hill, "hounded''
the league to expand to help
get legislation through the
House Judiciary Committee that
would get pro football out from
under a threatened Govern
mental monopoly suit.
Visit From Hunt
Marshall was asked about a
visit he received in 1859 from
Lamar Hunt, a founder of the
AFL, and his attorney, Edwin
Quinn. Hunt owns the Texans,
who claim the NFL invaded
Dallas as part of a plan to
undermine the new AFL.
The Redskins president said
he asked them why "they didn't
come up with some money" be-
fore the old Dallas NFL team
folded. He said if they had,
they would still have the fran
chise there.
Marshall said he opposed eX-
pansion because it was imprac-
ticable to operate more than
IL teams, and that everytime
you give away a part of the
league "a new franchise) you
give away a part of your tele-
vision rights"
He said he also felt that ex-
pansion would hurt college
football

Jeep Crash Kills
Peace Corps Man

A Peace Corps volunteer was
killed in southeastern Brazil
yesterday when the jeep he
was driving collided with a
truck.
Dale Edward Swenson, Is, of
Amery, Wis, was believed en-
route to visit other volunteers
whose agricultural activities
he was co-ordinating. The exact
location of the accident was
not known by the Peace Corps
office here.
Mr.. Swenson, in the corps
for almost a year, had recently
been promoted to volunteer
leader, in charge Of about 10
other members.
Sargent Shriver, director Of
the Peace Corps. said the young
man was one Of the best vol
unteers we've had anywhere in
the world"
Mr.. Swenson, a 1861 gradu-
ate of Wisconsin State College,
River Falls, Wis, was the
fourth Peace Corps member to
die overseas. Two others were
killed in q plane crash in South
America and a third died Of
natural causes in the Philip
pines,

more chromosome than the
normal human complement. He
was given one-third of a $685.
900 award plus $25, 900 to sup
port his research program.
$16.5 Million Distributed
Joe Hin THO, an Indonesian
geneticist presently a visiting
scientist at the National In
stitutes Of Health here, for his
discovery Of the exact number
of chromosomes in man. This
discovery, a fundamental one
in human biology, opened the
way to widespread work con-
corning chromosomal abnor-
malities in mentally defective
individuals. He was awarded
one-third of a $25, 900 award.
There was no grant for pro-
gram research to him because
his program at NH, where he
has been since 1859, is sup
ported by the Federal Govern
ment.
President Kennedy's special
interest in the problem of men,
tai retardation stems partly
from the fact that a sister,
Rosemary, has been mentally
retarded from childhood and is
now in an institution specialize
ing in the care of the mentally
retarded.
The foundation was estab-
lished in 1946 by former Am
bassador Joseph P. Kennedy as
a memorial to his son. 1t. Jo-
seph P. Kennedy, jr., who was
killed during, World War II.
Another sister of the President,
Mrs. Sargent Shriver, is execu-
tive vice president of the foun-
dalton. Her husband is execu-
tive director.
Since the foundation was es-
tablished, it has distributed
more than $l6.5 million to hos
pitfalls, custodial institutions,
