BOTOGA — (UPI) — President Alberto Lleras Camargo clamped martial law on Colombia last night in hopes of putting a stop to attempts at subversion such as yesterdays' short-lived "Lieutenants' Revolt."

THE DECREE ESTABLISHING the national emergency said recent disorders at various points in Colombia had in some cases amounted to virtual "open rebellion" against the government.

CRC Challenges Wescoe's Policy
The Civil Rights Council last night instructed its barbershop committee, headed by Robert Bosseau. Pittsburgh junior, to visit the Chancellor to ask him to use moral sasion on the Campus Barbershop. 1237 Oread Ave., one-half block north of the Kansas Union.
An off-campus barbershop may give Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe an opportunity to test his policy of "moral suasion."
George Buford, Kansas City senior and co-chairman of the CRC, told the Council last night that he had been refused service at the barbershop.
He said that on Oct. 2, he and Thomas Moore, secretary of the KU-Y, had gone into the shop and Buford was told he could not be served. He said the barbers said they did not have the proper equipment to cut Negro hair.
"AFTER WE TALKED TO THE harbers for awhile, they all shut up and wouldn't talk to us." Buford said.
sair.
"The claim that special equipment is necessary to cut Negro hair is not true," he said.
However, a barber at the Campus Barbershop said this morning the shop could not cut Negro's hair.
"WE JUST CAN'T DO IT. It takes someone who has done it before. We have tried to cut their hair before. You can't even get a comb through their hair."
Steve Baratz, Lawrence graduate student and former chairman of the CRC, said at the meeting last night that barbershops are one area where the CRC has been ineffective.
the CRC has been made a fine place for the Chancellor to use moral suasion," he said.
Denis Kennedy, Lawrence graduate student and CRC member, said it was deplorable for "a business which has 90 per cent student clientele to discriminate against Negro students."
Gov. Anderson May Come Here
Jerry Dickson, Newton sophomore, and chairman of the Young Republicans at KU, says Governor John Anderson may visit the campus in November or December.
Dickson, who is going to Topeka to speak to Gov. Andersen, said he will invite him to a "recognition dinner" to be held on the campus in November or December.
"We are hoping for the first week in December," he said.
In December, he said that the dinner date will be set at the Governor's convenience.
brought quickly under control, there is always the danger of continued attacks on the nation's democratic institutions," the decree said.
Lleras promised that he would use his emergency powers only to restore order.
THE PRESIDENT BLAMED his troubles on a "black international" grouping including extremists of both left and right — Communists and ex-dictators or "retired or in exile."
Lleras's reference to ex-dictators appeared to be directed at ex-President Gustavo Rojas Pinilla, who has been campaigning vigorously in the provinces despite an order forbidding him to engage in political activity.

It might also include ex-President Laureano Gomez, who has lived in Spain most of the time since he was overthrown by Rojas.
PITTSBURGH — (UPI) — Robert Welch, founder of the Birch Birch Society, said last night the late Sen. Joseph M. McCarthy was a victim of a "Communist smear."
Bircher Leader Says 'No Attack'
"No patriotic American could object to McCarthy's methods, but no dedicated Communist could support them." Welch told about 400 persons at Carnegie Institute.
The retired manufacturer said Communist Russia will never attack the United States because it would start a revolt in the satellite nations and other countries dominated by Communists.
He said the Reds plan to wreck democracy by forcing it to adopt policies that would make America "indistinguishable from any other socialist country." ___

NSAMembers Seek Protection
WASHINGTON—(UPI)Two students who were beaten up in McComb, Miss., yesterday asked the Justice Department today to help protect their colleagues engaged in a voter registration campaign in McComb.
Carl Potter of Philadelphia and Tom Hayden of Atlanta reported to Justice Department civil rights officials today on circumstances of yesterday's beating.
CARL HAYES, a plumber, has been charged with assault and battery in the case. Police in McComb said that Hayes, a white man, had admitted the attack on the two but claimed their car almost ran him down.
Potter and Hayden flew to Washington today. Both are connected with the National Student Association voter registration drive in McComb.
Edward R. Garvey, president of NSA, arranged their meeting with Burke Marshall, chief of the justice Department's civil rights division. Garvey said there were indications police had "conspired" to permit the beating of Potter and Hayden. "They surrounded the car but did nothing," he said.
