De Gaulle Ready To Lead France Out Of Crisis
(Compiled from United Press)
Gen. Charles de Gaulle said today in Paris that "If the people wish it, I am ready as in the preceding national crisis, to take the leadership of the government of the French Republic."
"When events speak very loud they force circumstances, and my whole career has proved this," he said.
Gen. de Gaulle said that "if things continue in this way, we know that the present regime, and will work out a multitude of such as it is, will find no results, solutions without achieving any result.
"In such a case, we might be faced with the risk of solutions by force—which would be the worst solution for France."
Gen. de Gaulle admitted he could not take power in accordance with established forms, but he said a special procedure might be arranged
The Communists reacted in Paris by stopping all transportation facilities in a massive reply to Gen. de Gaulle's speech, made at a press conference. While the conference was still under way, the communist workers pulled subway switches and halted all traffic.
'Would Murder If Police Watched'
LINCOLN, Neb. —(UP)— Mass killer Charles Starkweather has "a severe mental disease" that prevents his knowing the difference between right and wrong, a psychologist testified at Starkweather's murder trial today.
Dr. Nathan Greenbaum, a clinical psychologist and teacher from Kansas City, Mo., said also that the 19-year-old redhead so lacks control that he would have committed murder even had a policeman been watching.
In Beirut, Lebanon, the pro-western government appeared today to have won a major victory in the northern port of Tripoli after a 24-hour battle which took a toll of 20 to 85 dead and 250 wounded.
A spokesman for President Camille Chamoun's administration said the battle—fiercest yet reported in the 10-day-old uprising—ended at noon Sunday with the "unconditional surrender" of the rebels entrenched in the city.

Despite the disturbing incidents, Mr. Nixon has been stressing since his return that it would be wrong to assume that all Latin Americans are "Yankee Haters."
Jack Harrison, Hays sophomore, has been awarded the first place prize of $35 in the Statewide Activities string book contest.
Nixon, since his return, has been deluged with "Welcome Home" letters extolling his conduct during his South American trip.
The contest, open to all hometown correspondents, was judged on the basis of quality of work and the amount of news the correspondent produced in relation to the number of students available to write about
A total of 50 students are hometown or county correspondents this year. They were chosen by their hometown editors or by the students living in the correspondent's area.
String Books Get Prizes
Other winners were Marilyn Henning, Ottawa sophomore, second place of $20; Sherri James, Emporia sophomore, third place of $10; Susanne Shaw, Wellington freshman, and Loretta Nauman, Alson sophomore, fourth and fifth places respectively, $5 each.

Crutch Service Ready
If you're disabled by that hefty baseball or the tennis match puts you out of commission, the Student Health Service stands ready to loan you crutches so you can still get around.
In the picture above, Ronald Brown, Elwood senior, is fitted for a pair of crutches by James Gillispie, Student Health Service pharmacist.
Students are entitled to the use of the crutches free of charge as part of the student health fee. Dr. Gillispie said the hospital stocks approximately 50 crutches for the students' use.
Dr. Gillispie said most of their business comes from accident victims during bad weather in the winter and from participants in the intramural sports of football, basketball and softball.
The hospital also runs an exchange program with hospitals at other colleges, Dr. Gillispie said. If a KU athlete was injured at another school, that school's hospital would provide crutches. Then, when the athlete returns he gets some KU crutches, while the others are returned to the first school.
