Senators Appeal To Stop Ky Talk
WASHINGTON (UPI)—Fearing a new outbreak of domestic dissension, eight senators appealed Thursday to South Vietnamese Vice-President Nguyen Cao Ky to abandon his plans to address a win-the-war rally here Oct. 3.
The announcement by fundamentalist preacher Rev. Carl McIntire that Ky would deliver a speech that would "out-Agnew Agnew" at the "March for Victory" rally is said to have worried the Nixon Administration. The rally is to occur only a month before the congressional elections Nov. 3.
Sen. Gordon Allott, Colo., chairman of the Senate Republican policy committee, in a Senate speech said, "This country never needs interference from other nations' political leaders. And President Nixon certainly does not need any gratuitous advice on how to win the peace in Vietnam. He is doing fine on his own."
Standing in rapid succession to speak in agreement were Sens. John Stennis, D-Miss., chairman of the Armed Services Committee, Charles H. Percy, R-Ill., Clifford M. Hansen, R-Wyo., Robert J. Dole, R-Kan., Jacob K. Javits, R-N.Y., Edward J. Gurney, R-Fla., and Mike Mansfield, Mont., the Senate Democratic leader.
The White House has been cool to a visit by the outspoken Saigon leader and presidential aides have pointed out on several occasions Ky's visit would be "unofficial" and that President Nixon would not be obligated to see him.
Moreover, they noted, Nixon would be away from Washington at the time of the win-the-war rally. He begins an European tour Sept. 27 and will not return to Washington until Oct.5.
Tax Reforms Cancel Plans For Institute
The Leadership Institute scheduled from Sept. 25 to Sept. 26 was canceled because a recent tax reform bill affecting the National Leadership Institute, which provides materials for the KU conference, made the cost prohibitive.
The bill required that the National Institute charge $20 a person to compensate for the higher taxes. This would be a $15 increase from last year.
The higher cost would limit the institute's effectiveness for all people, according to Madeline Loftus, Kansas City, Mo. junior and chairman of the Institute committee.
Miss Loftus said the KU Commission on the Status of Women has tentatively scheduled their own institute for Oct 25. The cost will be $5, the same price as the charge for last year's nationally-sponsored program.
The co-educational program will be directed mainly toward freshman or faculty members, said Miss Loftus.
Witness Identifies Pistol as Manson's
LOS ANGELES (UPI)—Charles Manson owned a pistol identical to the one used in the Sharon Tate murders and it disappeared from the Spahn ranch about the time of the killings, a state witness testified Thursday at the murder trial.
Danny Decarlo, 26, a motorcycle gang member and briefly one of the "Manson family," said the cult leader also bought a nylon rope no different from the one found around the necks of Miss Tate and hair stylist Jay Sebring.
Deputy District Attorney Vincent Bugliosi completed questioning of Decarlo after two days on the stand in which he tied the 35-year-old Manson into the murders, although the state does
not charge he actually committed any of the seven slayings.
Manson once told Decarlo he would like to see the "pigs" of the "establishment" have their throats cut and hung up by their feet because then the public would "blow their minds" and "people would think a maniac was on the loose."
Decarlo, who said he was a weapons instructor during his service in the Coast Guard from 1961 to 1965, said he was in charge of an arsenal at the Spahn ranch which included four rifles, two shotguns, a submachine gun and a long-barreled, 22-caliber pistol.
Manson often wore and fired
the pistol, Decarlo said, and once remarked that he would rather shoot people than birds with it. The witness said it disappeared about the time of the killings.
"Manson walked around the ranch doing nothing but watching what others were doing," Decarlo said.
"Did Manson call himself anything?" Bugliosi asked.
"Yeah, he called himself the devil. He said he was the devil and the devil was on the loose."
"Did he say anything about sex between the women and men at the ranch?"
"Yeah, he said the girls should make love with all the men. I go for that, too."
