(UPI) — FBI agents and Lynch Mob, Negro Sought by FBI By CLIFF SESSIONS United Press International POPLARVILLE, Miss. (UPI) — FBI agents and state troopers worked around the clock today, trying to find a young Negro who was dragged screaming from a jail cell by a hooded lynch mob. The Negro, M. C. Parker, 23, was to have gone on trial today on charges of raping a young white mother. He was beaten and abducted early Saturday. No leads were reported in the case, although bloody and dirty clothing found in woods 25 miles from Hattiesburg, Miss., Saturday was chemically tested by the FBI. The clothing was ruled out as Parker's by the FBI, according to Hattiesburg Patrolman Luther L. Robinson, acting night police chief. Some officers believed Parker would never be found, dead or alive. FBI Seeks Mob Gov. J. P. Coleman, however, instructed the Mississippi Highway Patrol to continue to search through the swamps and pine forests of southern Mississippi "as long as there is any area left to explore." The FBI indicated similar determination. Also sought by about 40 FBI agents and an equal number of state highway patrolmen was the mob that kidnapped the Negro. The well-organized mob broke into the unguarded Pearl River County Jail before dawn Saturday. The 9 or 10 men who entered the jail beat Parker with gun butts and clubs in his jail cell. They dragged him screaming to a waiting getaway car. County Attorney William Stewart said today he "wouldn't be surprised" if Parker is never found. "It looks like now we are up against a stone wall," he said. Deputy Sheriff George Moody said that "when we didn't find it (the body) the first day and it became apparent they hid it. I figured then it would be a long time or maybe never before the body turned up." Witnessed By Farmer Today's search over about 600 square miles of swamps and forest lands came after a farmer revealed he was a witness to the abduction. John Reyer, 64, said he told the FBI, "This bunch of men came Storm Brings Light Rains to County Areas The weatherman is back in his old rut today after a brief late-season rain brought .28 of an inch of rain to Anaheim to end a drought of more than two months. The "storm" brought the season's rainfall to 6.18 inches, as compared to 23.18 inches at this time last year. The rain which fell Saturday was the first to hit Anaheim since Feb. 24. Fair weather with sunny skies and slightly warmer temperatures were forecast for the remainder of the week by the weatherman. Stanton had the distinction of being the "wettest" spot in the county with .82 of an inch during the storm. Buena Park received .60 of an inch, while Garden Grove received only .35 of an inch of rain. The rain, which began about 4 p.m., continued until after 2 a.m. Sunday. However, rainfall figures throughout the county showed that only about one-third as much rain has fallen this season as last year. Farmers have been forced to irrigate throughout the winter in an effort to save their crops. RAINFALL FIGURES CITY St'm Sea's.

NEWS OF THE WORLD IN BRIEF DISCOVERER II BURNS UP IN ATMOSPHERE WASHINGTON (UPI)—America's Discoverer II satellite has plunged back into the earth's atmosphere and presumably burned up from friction after two weeks in orbit, the Defense Department said early today.

Brig. Gen. Homer Boushey, Air Force director of advance technology at the Pentagon, said a "long distance study" was being conducted with only small amounts of government money involved at present. Boushey told United Press International there was as yet no plan to put a base on the moon but the Air Force was looking into the problem of stationing men there. Cently gave a progress report on its studies to the Air Research and Development Command's Ballistic Missile Division at Inglewood, Calif. The Air Force is considering two possibilities, according to Aviation Week. One is called "Systems Requirement 183" and involves a lunar observatory. The other is called "Requirement 192" and is a much more ambitious study involving a bombardment base on the moon for retaliation against enemy attack. Aviation Week said the present briefing on "Requirement 183" considered these "proposals": pounds of thrust. The U. S. at present is developing a 1,500,000 pound thrust rocket which may be ready in five years and which can be clustered to produce several million pounds of thrust. —Nuclear propulsion also might be used for the moon trip but not by 1968. —The takeoff weight of the lunar vehicle, it was estimated; would be at least five million pounds. —On the moon, men might need their own small propulsion rockets to move around and also might require space suits far more advanced than the ones so far de- Six Anaheim Schools To Be Open Tonight Five schools of the Anaheim City School District will open their doors tonight to admit interested parents and friends to view pupil work during the 40th observance of California's Public School Week.

Public School Week TRO FAILS Assassination of Premier Foiled MONTREAL (UPI) — Cuban Premier Fidel Castro left by plane today only a few minutes after police received a message from authorities in New York saying that two men were on their way here to assassinate him. The bearded Prime Minister came here Sunday for a 24-hour visit. His Cubana Airlines plane headed for Houston, Tex. Castro was whisked aboard the plane a few minutes after Royal Canadian Mounted and Quebec Provincial Police were informed that two known suspects were en route here from New York apparently bent on an assassination attempt. Police said the message came from FBI headquarters in New York and was relayed to them by radio as Castro's 27-car convoy headed for downtown Montreal to Dorval Airport. When the message was received, 'WYATT EARP' HAS HOME BURGLARIZED WEST LOS ANGELES (UPI)—Burglaries lured the houseboy of Hugh O'Brian, television's Marshal Wyatt Earp, away from his employer's home Sunday, then broke in and stole clothes, jewelry, liquor, and his shootin' irons. The houseboy, Stig Hoglung, said he received a telephone call ordering alm to appear at a police station to take care of Castro was winked about his plane a few minutes after Royal Canadian Mounted and Quebec Provincial Police were informed that two known suspects were en route here from New York apparently bent on an assassination attempt. Police said the message came from FBI headquarters in New York and was relayed to them by radio as Castro's ZT-car convoy headed for downtown Montreal to Dorval Airport. When the message was received, the convoy made a brief halt to allow one of Castro's personal security guards, who knew the suspects, to transfer to the Prime Minister's auto. Royal Canadian Mounted Police Inspector D. E. McLaren said the report was one of many that had come to law enforcement agencies here during Castro's brief stay. "This is routine," he said, "and I don't want to go into details about it. We're very discreet about these matters." Very few persons were at the airport to see the Cuban rebel hero depart. He was greeted by large crowds on his arrival Sunday. Castro was scheduled to arrive at Houston this afternoon for a brief stopover before heading to Buenos Aires where he will head the Cuban delegation at a conference of American states. He was scheduled to spend the night in Trinidad. He arrived three hours late in Montreal Sunday afternoon and, mainly because he insisted on shaking hands with hundreds of Montrealers who made him feel "as if I'm in Havana," kept running late. The Cuban leader was assigned guards by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, a force which he said he hopes to copy in Cuba; Quebec provincial police; Montreal city police; and at the airport 15 miles from Montreal, patrolmen from suburban Dorval. But he moved away from his guards whenever he got the chance and at one point downstreet asked Montreal Mayor Sarto Fournier to call them off. "He could have been killed three dozen times the way he ignored us," one high police officer said of the 32-year-old, fatigue-uniformed Cuban leader. Castro apparently was as impressed by Montreal as Montrealers who shouted "Viva Castro" and "Hurray, Fidel" seemed to be impressed by him. "There's a Latin atmosphere here that I missed in the United States," he told newsmen. HOME BURGLARIZED WEST LOS ANGELES (UPI)—Burglaries lured the houseboy of Hugh O'Brian, television's Marshal Wyatt Earp, away from his employer's home Sunday, then broke in and stole clothes, jewelry, liquor, and his shootin' irons. The houseboy, Stig Hoglung, said he received a telephone call ordering him to appear at a police station to take care of a traffic ticket. Police told him the call was a phony, but by the time he got back to the house he found it had been ransacked. Stolen were two automatic pistols, 20 sports shirts, 12 pairs of slacks, assorted jewelry and several bottles of champagne. Union Dispute Curtails NBC TV, Radio Shows NEW YORK (UPI)—NBC television and network radio service was curtailed today by a dispute with a technicians' union which is fighting the taping of TV shows abroad by low pay foreign personnel. NBC officials met with representatives of the National Association of Broadcast Employees and Technicians late this morning to discuss the union's objection to a taped video interview with Brigitte Bardot which was to have been used on the Dave Garroway "Today" show at 7 a.m. e.d.t. Technicians for the Garroway show refused to handle the tape made by nonunion French technicians in Paris and walked off their jobs. The union promptly announced that 1,500 members who work at NBC TV and radio installations in Washington, Chicago, Hollywood, San Francisco, and Philadelphia would join in the strike. The immediate effect was a blackout on the NBC-TV network until taped programs could be gotten on the air by executive personnel. The first program presented this morning from New York was "Do Re Mi" at 10 a.m. e.d.t. The effect of the walkout on radio was spotty, since NBC affiliate stations could fill in the empty network spots with local programs and recordings. Tyler Byrne, NABET director He could have been killed three dozen times the way he ignored us," one high police officer said of the 32-year-old, fatigue-uniformed Cuban leader. Castro apparently was as impressed by Montreal as Montrealers who shouted "Viva Castro" and "Hurray, Fidel" seemed to be impressed by him. "There's a Latin atmosphere here that I missed in the United States," he told newsmen. Weather Sunny with rising temperatures today and Tuesday. Patchy early morning low clouds and log near coast.

LEADER IDENTIFIED Panama Captures Rebel Invaders PANAMA CITY (UPI) — Captured members of a rebel invasion force that landed Friday on Panama's Atlantic Coast identified Roberto E. Arias as the leader and financial backer of the Panamanian insurgents. Three of the rebels were seized by a national guardsman Sunday morning, about 36 hours after they landed near the village of Santa Isabel on the San Blas Peninsula. They said they had left Batabo, Cuba, on April 19. There were 36 members of the invading force, including one woman, they said, but three of the rebels drowned when their small dinghy overturned while landing. The rest were reported marching westward along the coast toward Colon, at the border of the U.S. Panama Canal Zone. A communique issued by President Ernest de la Guardia Jr., and his cabinet said the latest information indicated there were about 80 men and one woman in the invading group and that all but one were Cubans. In Washington, a special commission of the Council of the Organization of American States (OAS) called an emergency meeting today to consider the Panamanian invasion.
