HHH's decision Saturday?
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — (UPI) —Vice President Hubert Humphrey said Wednesday night that he would announce his decision on whether to become a presidential candidate Saturday in Washington.
Humphrey told an audience of about 2,000 at Marshall University that he is holding a luncheon Saturday in Washington at which time he would "discuss the state of the nation and the fate of Huert Humphrey."
Earlier in the day when he arrived at the airport here, the vice president told well-wishers that his announcement is perhaps a few days away.
As he and his wife stepped from
their plane and began mingling with the crowd of about 500, a chubby faced woman with thick glasses drew her hands to her grey coat and told Humphrey:
"You say yes and I'll campaign for you."
Marshall's president, Stewart H Smith, has resigned effective at the end of this school term.
"Two presidents have decided this past year not to run," Humphrey said. "One was Lyndon Johnson, the other was Stewart Smith. I'm considering applying for one of the vacancies."
In Humphrey's main address, he discussed civil rights, Vietnam and domestic issues.

Boy arrested as Newark arsonist
NEWARK—(UPI)—A 13-year-old Negro boy was arrested Wednesday as the arsonist who set the fire that enveloped 34 buildings in the predominantly Negro Central Ward and left 650 persons homeless Saturday.
It was the worst fire in the city's history.
Fire Director John Caufield said the youth admitted setting the fire with matches and "other combustible materials" in a three-story tenement.
Caufield said the youth was "remorseful" but gave no reason for setting the fire.
He said the boy has not been going to school for some time and lives "near the fire area." The suspect was seized, Caufield said, in a probe by arson squad investigators of 50 leads gathered from the time the fire broke out.
'Evil' is topic for lecture
"The Fascination of Evil" will be the topic of a lecture by Volkmar Sander, a New York University professor, at 4 p.m. today in the Watson Library West Reading Room. Sander will discuss in German the trend of 20th century novels toward characterization of the darker side of human nature.
Sander, head of the graduate department of German at New
York University, has specialized in 19th and 20th century comparative literature.
The KU chapter of Acacia fraternity was the second Acacia chapter founded. The first was founded in 1903 at the University of Michigan. KU's chapter was founded in 1904.
