Capture Owens
ROGERS, Ark. (AP)— Rog-
ers police were notified today
that Donald Eugene Owens, 28,
who at one time was believed
to have drowned in Beaver
Reservoir, is being held on an
open charge at Craig Air Ferce
Base near Selma, Ala.
Authorities were informed
that Owens was arrested last
night in a residential area.
Rescue units searched the lake
for a week after Owens was re-
ported missing on a fishing trip
Aug. 20. The search was called
off after a week when au-
thorities were notified by fed-
eral officials that Owens was
not believed to have drowned.
He was listed as being ab-
sent without leave frem the
Selma air base.

Faubus To Speak
LITTLE ROCK (AP) — Gov.
Orval Faubus said today that
he will probably accept an in-

cratic State Convention in Lit-
tle Rock next Thursday.
The Arkansas Democrat re-
ported today that Faubus would
be invited te speak and that
the invitation had the approval
of Jim Johnson, the Demecratic
nominee for governor and a
vigorous critic of Faubus.
The invitation apparently was
issued in the hope of uniting
Democratic Party factions for
the general election campaign
against Republican Winthrop
Rockefeller.
State Funeral Set
CAPE TOWN, South Africa
(AP) — The body of assassinat-
ed Prime Minister Hendrik F.
Verwoerd was flown today to
Pretoria for a state funeral as
two of South Africa’s leading
papers called for tighter securi-
ty procedures in Parliament,
“Tt is easy to be wise after an
event, but it looks as if security
arrangements in Parliament
are surprisingly lax,” said Jo-
hannesburg’s Rand Daily Mail
in an editorial.
Referring to Verwoerd’s as-
sassin, the Cape Times asked:
“How was it that a foreigner
and rolling stone could be ap-
pointed as a messenger in the
precincts of Parliament?”

Speeders Face
Police Crackdown
In Fayetteville
Police Chief Hollis Spencer
today warned Fayetteville mo-
torists to observe the speed
limits and step signs on city
streets or suffer the conse-
quences.
The police department
Wednesday issued 40 traffic ci-
tations, most of them for speed-
ing and failure to observe stop
signs, in a crackdown on traffic
violations that included the use
of radar.
“We intend for these people
to slow down and stop running
stop lights,” Spencer said. “A
motorist can expect to get
caught in the radar net just
about anywhere in Fayette-
ville.”
Spencer said there are too
many young children on the
city’s streets for his department
to tolerate fast or careless driv-
ing. He said in some areas
around the schools the traffic
hazard is worse because the
children do not have sidewalks
and crosswalks to use.

‘Nancy said she spotted her
father, Lt, Col. Harold Naylor,
as she paraded down the 120-
foot runway in Convention Hall.
“I saw him there waving over

Mrs. Naylor has been with
Nancy at the family’s home at
Nashua, N.H.
Nancy, who lived and traveled
handled the measure, wasn’t
even there to vote either aye or
nay,
But before the Senate gave its
approval, one foreign aid critic,
Sen, Allen J. Ellender, D-La.,
was urging that the appropria-
tion measure providing the
funds be slashed down. The ap-
propriation follows the author-
ization bill, which sets ceilings
and restrictions on the program,
and may set off a new round of
debate.
The measure as finally ap-
proved was a compromise
worked out by a conference
committee that reconciled doz-
ens of differences between the
Senate and House versions of
the program.
_ Originally, the President had
asked for $3,367,000,000 for the
aid program—both military and
economic. The House had au-
thorized $4,109,119,000. But the
Senate, in an obviously rebel-
lious mood, chopped the request
to $2,852,762,000.
Then the Chinese ambassador
in Warsaw, after one of his in-
numerable meetings with the
U.S. ambassador, accused the
Kremlin of “singing a duet”
With Washington about U.S.-
Chinese reconciliation. Moscow
had been needling China about
those talks in Warsaw, the only
Years.
Hopes for a changed Peking
Attitude faded again.

Seen As Seeking Final Split With Soviet
The Chinese ambassador
would not act on his ewn. He
had specifie orders. Evidently
the idea was te surround Pe-
king’s position and defend it
from Soviet insinuations that
the Chinese, after all, were not
all that tough in facing up to
the Americans.
Since there has been no real
change in attitude, there
emerges a picture of the Krem-
lin and all “revisionists” as the
main targets of such goings-on.
