Dr. King was taken inside Police Headquarters with nearly three hundred of his followers during a protest ■arch on the Danae County Courthouse. The others were immediately booked, but after waiting an hour, Dr. King was released - and so was hie chief aide, the Reverend Ralph Abernathy. However, Dr. King was then arrested ■0111nt1 later when he stopped to talk to newemen •uteide the city Jail. The charge: Parading without a pe111lt. The incident marked the tirst time Dr. King has been jailed since winning the Nobel peace Prize last Dece ■ber. DOCKS President Johnson hae urged striking dock workers to return to their Jobs in those East andGulf coast ports where they have already ratified new contracts. The President also urged a speedy settlement in ports where no agreement has yet been reached, notably those on the South Atlantic and the Texas Coast ft However, the Longshoremen•s Union so far has contended that failure to settle in any one port means that all East and Gulf Coast ports must remain idle. And as the strike dragged through its twenty-second day, a shipping otticial said in Miami Beach that continuing talks there 11 sl■ple a "waste of time." T .

AUTO CRASH ---- - -- - ---- GOOD EVENING EVERYBODY: I l1a e just returned from a rather llurried flight from the Rift Valley count-;y, , llere 1 e've b e en observing tile big g ame of East Africa, a flight lo Nairobi, in a small plane. There If ere three of us, the pilot, a lovely lady from California, t lio /tad bee,z in a,i auto crasll, on a jungle road, near tile edge of the great Rift Valley escarpment, and myself. Edward Rubin is the Tanganyika representative of the Ford Foundation, with his headquarters on the coast, at Dar Es Salaam, not far from Zanzibar. An old friend of his, Frank Wyle, head of Wyle Space Laboratories in Southern California, brought his · wife to East Africa, and the Rubins and Wyles headed for the Rift Valley to see the giant animals and the others. Wyle was driving when they had some bad luck. Coming around a mo11,stai,e curve, they met a much heavier car coming down the mounlai,e, and it hit them head on. All of the occuJ,a11ts of botlt cars ,oere injured. Mrs. R11bin's injuries became seJ,lic, and she and I flew to the hosJ,ital in Nairobi. 011 my re tur,r flight to the top of the Rift Valley escarpment, 1ohe11 we aJ,J,roacl,ed the rough air strip, the yo11ng pilot, Dave Owen, ti,r11ed nnd said to me: "Hmmmm, guess we'd better have another go at it. Look at tl,e reception committee down there on the airstriJ,I" • AUTO CRASH -2 ------------ Belou us, in fact only a feu feet from 11 , at tl,al mom ,it, 1t as a large herd of big baboons. So the pilot fleu rigid over them, almost spinnin g his t heels on their backs, and up we went again, while the seventy or eighty baboons - maybe even a hundred of lhem, went ract11g over the edge of the cliff. The pilot, who is himself a" East African, said he had often encountered other animals on airstrips, like this, on the edge of the ju,egle. But this was the first lime lie had ever been stopped from making a la11dlrcg by a herd of baboons. So long . . . . . . . . . . . . :-:a· e r r in t h pi a t od to h 1 .. t t u mu u o ..

CHURCHILL Til e London E eni11g Standard reported toda that Sir Winston Chttrchill a tuall3 suffer~d his last stroke a full four days before it was announced to the world. The report was later confirmed by a British medical spokesman. The medical expert said Sir Winston had a previous history of si,ch incidents and had always gotle,a over them. It was decided, therefore, ,iot to stir up any premati, . re fears abor,t his illness. There was some question, however, about Sir Winston's last ioords. The story in the Evening St and a rd s aid the great man 's las t s tat em en t was s i m Ply this: "I am bored with it all". However, the medical expert described the alleged quote · as most "unlikely".

WOMEN A noted marriage counselor charged today that women are parading their lips, busts and legs in a pathetic attempt to compensate for lack of femininity. The accusation made by Dr. David R. Mace, executive director of the American Association of Marriage Counselors. Dr. Mace said that a few years ago, the suffragette was saying: "Look, we all know I'm a woman, but can•t you see? I'm also a person". Now, he said, the modern A•rican woman ie saying, "Look, we all know I•• a person, but can•t you see? I'm also a woman~. Dr. Mace added that the A•rican male •Y think the prefers the more provocative female, but th1.8, he said, is only "an adolescent misconception of fe■ 1n1n1ty". That's the newe--as Lo"811 Thomas would say--eo long.
