Our State Department calling the whole idea an ilb attempt to upset the balance of pGwer. / 4nd to initiate a form or. "nuclear blackmail" - whereby the Soviet Union could force Mediterranean countries to obey tt its dictates. That is, if the United States withdrew its Polaris subMrines - as Moscow wants it to. So Uncle Sam - will stay put in the Mediterranean - and help keep the peace. EVERS A forty-two year old ex-Marine, Byron De La Beckwith, char ed with the murder of Medgar Evers - will have a preliminary hearing in Jackson City Court tomorrow. And District Attorney William Waller will ask the Hinds County Grand Jury for an indictment - when it meets next week. The federal charge against Beckwith is - intimidation. That's the reason or the Justice Department releasing him - to let the Jackson City police arrest him on the more serious charge of murder.
