Rebels Machinegun Marines
SANTO DOMINGO. — (UPI) — Two U.S. Marines were killed today when they were caught by rebel machinegun fire in the rebel-held zone of Santo Domingo. One other Marine and two American correspondents were wounded.
A Marine jeep pulling a panel truck apparently made a wrong turn and drove into 30th of March Street right in the heart of the rebel area. The rebels opened fire and the Marines took cover in the showroom of an automobile dealer.
A WILD fire fight followed during which the two Leathernacks were killed and one wounded.
The body of one of the Marines was taken to the Embajador Hotel
by Canadian telephone company employee Edward Lynch who had thought the Leathern neck to be still alive. He was dead when he arrived at the hotel near a Marine headquarters.
Word quickly spread through the hotel that the Marine had been dumped on the doorstep of the hotel by the rebels as a demonstration of the terror tactics they had threatened to use against the American military forces here.
THE DEAD Marine was found lying face up at the hotel, and it appeared he had been captured and shot. The driver of the military-type vehicle was captured and was being questioned. He had driven through several Marine outposts to the hotel without being stopped.
The rebels have warned repeatedly that any Marine or U.S. paratrooper found in rebel area would be "slaughtered." Only Wednesday night a rebel radio said the Dominican people must cooperate in the "patriotic task of
killing in blood and burning foreign invaders and their lack-evs"
A taxicab operator who witnessed the clash between the American military and rebel forces in Independence Square said two jeepploads of Marines appeared and that the rebels opened fire on them. The Marines returned the fire, and fighting was reported "very intense" for some time.

KUFetes Retiring Doctors; 79 Service Years Honored
Two physicians, one an administrator and one a biochemist, were honored last night for their service to the University at the annual KU retirement dinner.
Dr. Parke Woodard, associate professor of comparative biochemistry and physiology for 42 years, and Dr. Ralph Canuteson, director of the KU student health service since 1928, received certificates of appreciation from Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe.
Chancellor Wescoe said he had promised the men being honored he wouldn't give a speech. Wescoe briefly introduced the men and presented them leather-bound certificates.
Dr. Woodard has told some of his plans for the future.
"My years at KU have been happy ones," Dr. Woodard said. "KU has done quite a bit for me."
"I'm going to start out by making Lawrence my headquarters. I'll travel a little, but I'm one of those amateur artists. Anyone who is interested in that can come down to our exhibit in the Lawrence Community Building. That's a plug," Dr. Woodard quipped.

DR. WOODARD SAID he
"I have three sons and two swell daughters-in-law and three grandchildren so far, but hopes for more," Dr. Woodard said.
Both men quipped with their friends after the dinner.
"People think I don't look my years," Dr. Canuteson said. "If I don't look my years I think it's because I've been around all these young people."
When asked how he felt upon retiring, Dr. Canuteson said, "They have 37 years written on this certificate, but I thought it was forever!"
"I plan to do nothing in large

doses," Canutson said. He and his wife are sailing for Europe in June. "We will sail to Ireland and get a car. Then we plan to tour Europe for a year.
"We are doing this mainly because I have to get away from here. It would be hard to stay here
and hear that 7:20 whistle every day and not get rarin' to go," Dr. Canuteson added.
DR. CANUTESON talked of his post as director of the health service.
"It's been his life work," Mrs. Canuthes said.
Edward Teller to Speak at KU
Edward Teller, Hungarian born physicist widely known as the "father of the hydrogen bomb," will give two lectures here next Tuesday.

Klan Trial Into 4th Day
HAYNEVILLE, Ala.—(UPI)—The defense rested its case today in the trial of a young Ku Klux Klansman accused of the nightrider slaying of a woman civil rights worker after less than an hour of testimony.
The state took only nine minutes after the fourth day of the trial began. Then, after a 15-minute recess, the defense began an all-out effort to discredit the testimony of the state's main witness.
Viet Council Ends as Jets Hit
SAIGON—(UPI)—South Viet Nam's powerful Armed Forces Council today formally dissolved itself in a resounding vote of confidence in the Saigon government. On the military front, 50 U.S. Air Force jets scored a "spectacularly successful" raid against Communist North Viet Nam.
The Armed Forces Council voted to disband in an emphatic endorsement of the civilian government of Prime Minister Phan Huy Quat.
Meanwhile, a U.S. military spokesman in Saigon announced that 50 U.S. Air Force jet fighter-bombers this afternoon struck a "major ammunition dump" at Phu Van, 125 miles south of the North Vietnamese capital of Hanoi.
The spokesman called the raid "spectacularly successful." Direct hits were made on four underground ammunition bunkers and four other bunkers were damaged. He said clouds of "towering black smoke" were seen by pilots.
The spokesman totalled up the results of a successful government operation April 28-May 4 in the Mekong River delta, 60 miles south of Saigon, and said 220 Viet Cong were killed. The operation netted a vast Viet Cong arsenal of 409 weapons, 34,000 pounds of ammunition and 7,000 pounds of plastic explosive.
Fifty planeloads of combat-ready U.S. Army paratroopers of the 173rd Airborne Brigade landed at the Bien Hoa and Vung Tau air bases outside Saigon today, virtually completing the transfer of a brigade of 3,500 paratroopers. A few more will arrive later by ship.
Report Blames Academy Heads
WASHINGTON—(UPI)A special review board reported today that "institutional shortcomings" contributed to the cheating scandal that prompted 109 cadets to resign from the Air Force Academy in March.
The board, headed by Gen. Thomas D. White, former Air Force chief of staff, found "indications of instability emanating from the higher leadership" at the academy.
In blunt language, the report said the academy "has not received adequate guidance" from Air Force headquarters; has "suffered from frequent changes of leadership;" and has "generated confusion among officers and cadets concerning the academy's goals."
The review board strongly endorsed the "honor code" which the resigned cadets were found to have violated by cheating in examinations. But it recommended consideration of changes in the application of the code.
Klansman Loses Election Bid
ATLANTA—(UPI)—Ku Klux Klan Grand Dragon Calvin Craig lost his bid for a seat in the Georgia legislature Wednesday in a topsy turvy special primary election that nominated 11 Negroes and threw out lieutenants of former segregationist Gov. Marvin Griffin.
Among the Negroes nominated was Julian Bond, a publicist for the civil rights Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee.
The election was to name Democratic and Republican candidates for 141 of the 205 seats as the result of a federal court ordered legislative act to reapportion the House. No other offices were affected.
ADA Supports Reapportionment
WASHINGTON (UPI)—A liberal group told Congress today that proposed constitutional amendments seeking to overrule the Supreme Court's reapportionment decision would make state government fit "only for the horse and buggy era."
Leon Shull, spokesman for Americans for Democratic Action (ADA) told a Senate judiciary subcommittee that the court's ruling requiring apportionment of legislatures entirely on the basis of population "breathed new life into American federalism," and recognized the nation's growing urbanization.
Insults Fly During U.N. Debate
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.—(UPI)—The Security Council, its debate on the Dominican crisis degenerating into an exchange of insults, sought today to push its consideration of the problem to a conclusion.
Late yesterday Soviet Ambassador Nikolai T. Fedorenko accused U.S. Ambassador Adlai E. Stevenson of voicing "nonsense simply not fitting" a man of his stature.
Stevenson in turn said he was "insulated by experience" from Fedorenko's "rich inventory of discountes." The former presidential candidate charged that the Russian was disregarding both the facts and the law in the case.
