Seek Dismissal
Of Walker Suit
Charging Libel

ATLANTA CUPID - Federal
court was asked yesterday to
dismiss a $40 million libel suit
by former Maj. Gen. Edwin A.
Walker against Atlanta News
papers Inc. and Atlanta Consti-
tuition Publisher Ralph McGill.
In the suit, Walker charged
that the defendants libeled him
in reports of his activities on
the University of Mississippi
campus during racial rioting in
the fall of 1862.
In an inch-thick answer to
Walkers charges, attorneys for
the defendants listed numerous
defenses and requested that the
cases against the publishing
firm and McGill be handled
separately.
The defendants asked for
initial action in the case with
out the jury trial that Walker
demanded.
They alleged that published
accounts Of Walkers utterances
and actions on the Ole Miss
campus were in good faith and
in keeping with legal and ethi-
cal principles of newspapering
as protected by the Constitu-
ton.
g.. Language (By Walker)
was not maliciously published"
the defendants said, "and it
was not ~defamatory of plaintiff
and it was not libelous of him."
The attorneys for the defend
ants also said:
Walker failed to complain
about the allegedly libelouS ma
terial for almost a year after
the incident.
Walker filed the suit before
the expiration Of the defend
ants legal time to retract the
published statements.
Walkers Every presence on
the campus tended to increase
the emotional fervor of III e
crowd and along with his words
and actions had the effect Of in
creasing the dangers from the
demonstration.

Congressional Roundup -.
Foreign Aid Action Due

WASHINGTON (UPI) - The
Senate today rejected attempts
to trim its 1913 billion foreign
aid money bill and moved to-
ward a final vote on the meas
ure late today and possible adj
journment Friday.
The Senate first rejected S. to
% an amendment by e n.
Wayne L. Morse, D-Ore,, to cut
$50 million from supporting
assistance" which backs up
military aid.
It then voted down So to "a
a follow-up move to slash $50
million from the same item
The Senate Appropriations Com
mittee recommended $3.50 mil
lion for supporting assistance
and the House voted only $500
million - the figure Morse
sought.
The aid bill, which provides
actual funds for another year Of
economic and military assist
ance, still must go to a House
Senate conference committee
for final compromise to be
worked out. The 1913 billion
Senate total is $500 million
more than the $2.S billion voted
by the House.
Eye Friday Adjournment
Congressional leaders still
we're hoping for adjournment
by Friday night. The Senate
met three hours early Cat 9
am, EST to move ahead on
the aid bill.
Morse's proposed cut in sup
porting assistance went down
after short but heated debate.
The Oregon Democrat
charged that the money was be-
ing wasted on indigenous
armies such as those Of Ma
tionalist China on Taiwan For
mosa) and in South Korea.
l"You could lick most Of them
with ten Boy Scout troops"
Morse declared. 1T is a false
assumption that such armies
are any good"
But Sen. Frank j. Lausche.
D-Ohio, contended that "a cut
here is to cut at a place where
it is most unjuStified." S e n.
John O. Pastore, D-R.I., floor
manager for the bill, said it
would be chaotic" and a
"crying shame to trim the
supporting assistance fund.
President Johnson urged ap-
proval of maximum funds for
the program in a letter to the
Senate Wednesday. He said the
need for a major foreign aid
effort remains and cannot be
escaped"
House Cut Bill
Congress authorized $3.6 bill
lion for foreign aid earlier this
month, but the Houee voted to
appropriate only $2.8 billion.
The late President Kennedy
had asked for S4.5 billion.
Most controversial Of the re-
naming amendments was one
to restore a House-approved
ban on use Of Export-Import
Bank credit guarantees for
grain sales to Russia. 1t was Of
fered by Sen. Karl E. Mundt,
R-S.D., who was defeated on a
57-95 vote when he tried to
write a similar restriction into
the Senate foreign aid authori-
cation measure.

One of the best ways to avoid
drowSiness at the wheel is to get
a good nights rest before you start
your vacation trip.
While you're on the road. stop
for a 1O-minute rest break after
the first two or three hours of
driving, then stop for similar
break after each additional 100
miles of travel.
When you stop, pull we'll off the
road. get out of the car and walk
around in the fresh air. Stretch and
relax. A cup of coffee or tea, soft
drink or a glass of cool water will
be a great help, too.

ernor Ralph N. Paiewonsky today and situations in 81. Croix

currently operated by Vicorp."
The vote was s for the acquisition and 4 against with one
Donkey Democrat absent. Had Senator Ron de Lugo been pre-

with the nays and thereby create a direct split Of st o5.
The Senators opposing the Governors resolution were
Senators Moorehsad, DoWard, LaWaetz and Millin. These

IF YoULIKE ITALIAN COOKING YOU'RE
IN: VILLA ROMA OPENS WITH PIzzAs

Garlic, organo, peppers tomatoes, cheeSeS, etc,-genty blending

one thing and that is Italian cooking.
To the Italian food lover of the Pzza Pie, Ravioi, Spaghetti
With meat sauce, Italian Meat Ball Sandwiches, etc, it is q com
pelling, yes, nearly overpoweIing scent indeed.
TIL slightest Whit of such cooking can awaken dormant appe-
tites to fierce hunger and visible enjoyment shows on the faces OF
the eaters and obvious contentment is evident after the meal is
finished.
Those who like Italian Cooking are devoted to it. Those who do
the devoted or they simply won't like it at all. There's no in between.
Seemingly, from the way the new Villa Roma has taken off
Git used to be the Tropic Teapot in Frederiksted, there are q lot
Of people here who like it, according to-brothers Tony and Frank
Raimondo, who with their father Sebastian, are propnetors Of the
new Italian Restaurant.
1t all began when Tony, a 25-year-old ex-marine decided to take
a trip to see the world, on a sort Of work-as-you-go basis. He got to
San Juan where he worked as a bartender, then to St Thomas and
finally to 81. Croix from where he wrote his brother Frank, Is, that
sthis place needs a Pizza joint. How about coming DOWN."
Not only did Frank come, but also the master chef himself
their father Sebastian, who left the cold Waterbury, Connecticut
weather to join his sons in their new venture. Already the elder
Sebastian is known throughout Frederiksted as Papa, for he is
taught his sons welD an doddly enough considering his buld,
