Secretary Hodges stressed
that he hoped the Savannah
could be operated with civilian.
rather than military personnel.
He was highly critical of the
engineers whose labor dispute
has kept the Savannah docked
at Galveston. Tex, since Feb
ruary.
The engineers we're paid OFF
yesterday by States Marines
Lines, which have the con-
tract to operate the Savannah.
Mr.. Hodges called the refusal
Of the engineers TO arbitrate
their dispute unfortunate"
saying the engineers have
shown a defiant attitude"
He said the crux Of the dis
pute was the engineers objec-
tion to a wage award TO deck
officers and their insistence
that 1t be set aside as a con-
dition TO their working.
Approximately 80 engineers,
including IL trainees, were i'll
volved In the dispute.

neers, a majority Of them
under 30. had been paid from
$4,000 to more than $4,000

Fight Breaks Out
Rocks and glass showered the
demonstrators as they ap-
preached two segregated res
taurants, the scene of protests
last week.
Several fights broke out as
the Negroes then m archie d
through the city's financial dis
trict to the city jail. At one
point, the Negroes wheeled in
a counter-attack that scattered
rock-throwing whites.
The Negroes reached the Jail
and began marching in double

Return TO Church
Police reinforcements cut off
approaching groups of whites,
but a few managed to get with
in range to hurl another volley
of rocks. In a show of force,
police broke out several shot
guns and the white hecklers
fell back.
The Negroes left the jail in
80 minutes and returned to the
small, brick church which
serves as a staging area near
the business district.
There they were met by more
rocks and flying bottles, one Of
which crashed through a
stained glass window. Dozens
Of policemen poured onto a

Cape Kennedy
Is Now Official

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. CUPID
- It's official - the jutting
sand spit that houses the ma
tons chief missile testing cent
er henceforth will be known as
Cape Kennedy.
Confusion developed both in
Washington and Tallahassee
Thursday over the extent Of
President Johnson's Thanksgiv-
ing Day executive order chang
ing the name Of Cape Canaveral
to Cape Kennedy.
The text of the order indicated
that Johnson's action had mere
ly changed the name Of the mis-
ISile test center, and not of the
peninsula itself.
Remaining OF the peninsula,
sources said, would have to
await action by the Board Of
Geographical Names - a fed
eral agency made up Of repre-
sentatives from IL departments.
A further check showed, how
ever, that johnson had cleared
his proposal with the board the
day before he made the an
nouncement. Arthur r. Baker,
a chairman of the
board, said no additional action
was required.
Many residents Of the Cape
Kennedy area protested the
name change both on economic
and historic grounds.
They argued that ~mapmakers
have used the name Canaveral
to identify the cape since about
the time Spanish explorer Juan
Ponce de Leon sailed along the
Florida coast in 1913.

AT Gen. Walker

WASHINGTON CUPID - The
FBI is looking into the POSSIBLE
ity that Lee Harvey Oswald
was the sniper who fired a rifle
bullet into the home Of former
Maj. Gen. Edwin Walker in
Dallas last April, it was learned
today.
The FBI declined comment
on the development but other
sources said that agents inveS-
tigating the Kennedy assassina-
ton have asked Dallas police
for details Of the firing on
Walkers home seven months
ago. The sources declined to
speculate on anything beyond
the fact that the FBI request
had been made.
The action was part of what
was described as a continuing
investigation into every aspect
Of the background Of Oswald pri-
or to the Staying Of President
Kennedy on Nov. q in Dallas,
Dallas police said the day
following the assassination that
they were checking the POSSIBLE
ity that the assassin and the
Walker sniper were the same
person.
However, no official police

and Dallas Investigators were
reported reluctant to discuss
developments until after ar
