Monks Convicted
In Sicily Extortion

MESSINA, Sicily, July 6
(AP). - Three bearded Capu-
chin monks have been convicted
of extorting money from peas
ants in a Mafia-like reign of
terror that swept the Sicilian
hills from 1855 to 1858.
An appellate court, reversing
a lower court, yesterday SEN
fenced each to serve Is years in
prison. They were found not
guilty of q murder charge.
The court upheld the lower
court conviction of three peas
ant accomplices on charges OF
killing a wealthy farmer who
refused to pay, attempting to
kill a policeman and extortion
The three peasants, stunned
at hearing themselves SEN
fenced to up to 80 years in
prison, tried to leap courtroom
balustrades and cried "assas-
sins, assassins." Police re-
strained them.
The monks - Brothers Car
melo, "a; Agrippino, 40, and
Venanzio, 36-were not in the
court.
AS provided by Italian law

I heard expressions Of conf

They did this by deleting a

Belgian Language
Crisis Is Solved

BRUSSELS, Belgium, July 6
(AP). - Prime Minister Thee
LeFevre said early today he had
won agreement on a compro-
mise solution to Belgium'S
stormy language problem which
almost toppled his coalition
government.
King Baudouin refused to &C.
cept Mr.. LeFevre's resignation
Tuesday and sent him into a
second round of negotiations.
Mr.. LeFevre said both Social
lists and Christian Democrats
in his coalition agreed on the
compromise. He refused to give
details, but said it would be
submitted to Parliament Tues
day.
The crisis was triggered by a
dispute between the Flemish
north where only Dutch is
spoken and the Walloon south
where only French is spoken.
The government planned to
bring six Flemish suburbs Of
Brussels into the bilingual cap
ital area. Flemings objected
bitterly. m

U. 5. Prepares
Saboteur Net
By the Associated Press

The Coast Guard is planning
a sharply stepped-up program
Of defense against smuggling
into this country of weapons
and devices which could be used
for sabotage-including nuclear
or other mass destruction
weapons.
A Coast Guard officer said a
highly specialized group, to be
known as the Coastal Force, is
being organized.
Defense Against Saboteurs
The Coast Guard and several
other Federal agencies have set
up a skeleton plan for strength
ened defenses against the entry
of saboteurs and espionage
agents by sea.
The Coast Guard sent out a
preliminary instruction sheet
from its Washington headquar-
tiers on June Z.
The Coast Guard yesterday
confirmed the plans for
stronger action against snug
gled weapons and potential
saboteurs after 1t was reported
by the New York Journal
American.
A spokesman for the Coast
Guard said he knew of no
special reason for the increased
activity in anti-sabotage eff
forts at this time.
A good portion of the six
page June Z directive dealt with
the problem Of co-ordinating
the efforts of the Coast Guard
the Bureau of Customs, the
immigration Service and other
agencies.
Vulnerable to Smuggling
The directive was sent for
advance planning purposes, and
it stated that implementation
of the instructions would be
carried out in another d.
receive.
A recent special interagency
stody showed "the vulnerability
of the continental United
States to smuggling from sea,
the directive said.
The new coastal force would
be similar to a special group
set up within the Coast Guard
in World War I and more fully
developed during World War II

U. S. Embassy Denies
Wet Nam Conspiracy

SAIGON, Wet Nam, July 6
(AP).-The United States en-
bassy "flatly, officially and I'M
equivocally" denied today there
was an American involvement
in an attempted coup d'eta
against President Ngo Dinh
Diem's government in 1860.
The charge arose yesterday
in a military tribunal trying
rebel South Wet Namese Off
GERS who led the attempted
coup. The 10 defendants had
been awaiting trial in prison
for more than IA years.
The three man tribunal
judged itself competent to try
the defendants for treason in
addition to domestic insurrec-
ton, on grounds that it had
proof of foreign support for the
coup.
Letter Produced
In a closed session, prosecu-
tors were reported to have pro-
duced an unsigned letter in
French to an American named
Carvert. The letter, purported-
ly from one of the coup lead
ers, complained that Carvert
had failed to give coup leaders
certain support he had prom
Used.
Ngo Dinh Nhu, brother and
political adviser of the Pres

least one American helped the
1860 rebels, and that "the Off

during the coup was not at all
what the President CDiem)

African Cadets
Start Training
Course in U. 5.
By the Associated Press

- Wv ee1oSNAah1N AINns
The Defense Department has
announced the start Of q pro-
gram to produce a nucleus Of
professional military officers
for emerging African nations. l
1t will be conducted at United
States military bases and at
American universities.
This training program is in
tended to provide o cadre
Of strictly professional officers
prepared to protect the legal
~ constituted governments
against subversion and domeS-
tic disorder" the Pentagon said
yesterday. "
To meet short-range needs,
the Army starting this month
will conduct a 6.month leader
ship course at Fort Erox, KY.
There, African soldiers selected
by their governments will be
taught ia handle the duties Of
junior officers.
The first class is to include
cadets from Tunisia, Nigeria,
Liberia, and probably other
African nations. About rs men
will be trained In each class.
The long-range program, also
beginning Immediately, involves
five-year courses - four years
at United States civilian uni
versities, followed by q year
Of postgraduate military train
ing at an appropriate United
States military school.
The Pentagon said the latter
program, which will be small,
''is intended to develop key
African military personnel to
serve as the nucleus of leader
ship for the military forces of
their respective countries"
While at American UNIVERSE
ties, the Africans will take Re-
serve Officer Training Corp
ROTC) instruction.
Three Libyan military cadets
have arrived in the United
States to take engineering
courses at Colorado State UNI
versity. Others are expected
from Liberia, Nigeria, Tunisia
and Libya within the next few
months.
Each African country will be
limited to 10 students In the
five-year program.
The cost of this longer-range
effort will be shared by the
African nations and the United
States, with the Africans un-
derwriting the first two years
Of the program, the Pentagon
said. For the other three years,
United States costs were esti-
mated at $17,820 for each stu
dent.
Officials said 1t will cost
about $500. for each African
trainee In the six-month course
at Fort Knox. The United
States will pick UP the tab for
this.
A candidate must have the
equivalent of a high school ed
ucation and knowledge Of the
English language.

Education Group Votes
Against Utah Sanctions

DETROIT, July 8 AP). -
Sanctions" was the most used
and most abused word heard
at the National Education As
ISOLATION convention here this
week.
The burning question before
the delegates was whether the
NEA should invoke national
teacher sanctions against Utah.
After rs minutes of heated de-
bate yesterday, the delegates
voted against 1t.
Overlooked in all the fuss
and Juror was the fact that
the NEA has been applying
sanctions against Utah since
April, and plans to- continue
doing so.
The trouble is that, as in
terpreted by the NEA leader
ship, sanctions are a series Of
steps which can be used to
bring pressure on a school
system. They range all the way
from turning the spotlight Of
publicity on the situation to
the expulsion Of a teacher
from the NEA.
AS interpreted by most Of the
convention delegates, however,
sanctions mean just one thing:
Urging teachers from outside
the area not to apply for jobs
there.
No Written Guide
The confusion stems from the
fact the NEA leadership has
not yet published a written
guide to sanctions, although
one is In preparation.
These are some Of the steps
that NEA leaders say can be
taken as sanctions:
Publicize the dispute ma
tionally as well as throughout
the profession. The NEA has
been doing this in the Utah
situation since April.
Alert teachers to the fact
that If they accept a job in the
disputed district, they may be
taking it away, unfairly, from
a colleague. This, too, the NEA
has been doing for several
months.
Urge members not to take a
job in the district. This is what
the delegates decided yesterday
not to do, although the MEAS
department Of classroom teach
ers. with 100000 members. took
just this action last Monday.

any other American had helped

Strategy Seen
Some American diplomatic
observers saw the oblique
charge of American completely
as a move by the nervous Diem
to discourage fur
ther coup attempts. BY claim
ing American involvement, il
could be shown that even
United States-supported rebels
could not succeed.
Col. Nguyen Chanh Thi
commander of the 1860 rebels
now in refuge in Cambodia
told this correspondent several
months ago that United States
officials actually tried to dis
courage the coup. American
agents persuaded the rebel
units not to kill Diem and to
try to work with the Diem gov
eminent.
Trial Continues
The trial of the 10 soldiers
continued in its second day
Saturday with more testimony
from each of the defendants
Most pleaded that they had
merely followed orders from the
commander, Col. Thi.
Col. Thi and other coup lead
ers fled to Cambodia in a mill
tary transport plane after the
coup collapsed.
All Of the defendants coulc
be sentenced to death, but
lawyers close to the court fee
only a few death sentences will
be handed down.
