67 killed in French jetliner crash
POINTE-A-PITRE, Guadeloupe—(UPI)—A Paris-bound Air France jetliner with 67 persons aboard slammed into a mountain-side Tuesday night. There were no survivors.
A spokesman for Air France said the Boeing 701 jetetner crashed and burned Tuesday night at Basse-Terre, in the southern part of the French West Indies island of Gaudeloupe, during an approach to the airport at Pointe-A-Pitre. It carried 53 passengers and 14 crewmembers, he said.
A partial list of passengers included no U.S. citizens.
SALISBURY—(UPI)—Rhodesia today ignored a reprieve order by Queen Elizabeth and hanged three Africans convicted of murder, an announcement nailed to the prison door said.
Rhodesia defies Queen, hangs 3
The morning snaps of the hangman's noose almost certainly foreshadowed a show-down with Britain over Rhodesia's unilateral declaration of independence 27 months ago, political observers said.
In London, Prime Minister Harold Wilson summoned leading government ministers to 10 Downing St. to decide on Britain's reaction to the executions.
Communists shoot down transport
SAIGON—(UPI)—Communist antiaircraft fire today shot down a twin-engine C123 transport trying to land at the surrounded Marine fort of Khe Sanh near the North Vietnamese border. The plane crashed and exploded in a giant fireball, witnesses said. The C123, the third U.S. plane shot down at Khe Sanh, was hit in the wing, spun into the short runway outside the barbed wire and blew up.
Senate fights over open housing
WASHINGTON—(UPI)—A bipartisan coalition today fought to keep intact an unprecedented ban on housing discrimination but feared that the Senate might load the compromise civil rights bill with antiriot amendments.
After two days of voting, it became clear that Senate sentiment favored the open housing provision, which would outlaw discrimination in 44.6 million units, or 68 per cent of the nation's housing.
As the third day of voting on amendments began, the compromise included a three-part package: the open housing provision, a mild antiriot section, and legislation to protect Negroes and civil rights workers from racial violence.

No demonstrations set; SDS satisfied with KU
Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) members decided Monday night against creating small-scale "radical situations" to publicize the KU SDS group.
The idea had been proposed by visiting SDS'ers from Boulder, Colo., Gus di Zerega, Wichita junior, said.
The four members at the meeting decided that KU's SDS would only take action when action was needed—and that nothing was
happening at KU right now that needed SDS involvement.
The SDS meetings have been sparsely attended for several weeks because there aren't many things to change at KU presently, Steve Morse, Kansas City freshman, said at last week's meeting, where he was the only member present.
SDS will continue to meet to discuss current issues until an opportunity for action turns up, di Zerega said.
March showers bring 500 hours
Ottawa University is already a church-sponsored institution, but 52 men living in a dormitory there are taking no chances about leading clean lives.
So far they have showered for 124 hours.
The men run the marathon in half-hour shifts. Two "flying squads" are standing-by so they can shed their clothes and jump in the shower should anyone be late for his duty.
Since last Wednesday at midnight, the members of Delta Phi, an organization formed by men living in residence halls, have been participating in a shower marathon. Their goal is to break the existing record of 500 hours.
Men on duty pass time during their shifts by singing and lounging on air mattresses. One man did 400 pushups during his half-hour.
Man, oh man, what footwork! Raw, rugged, weathered-brown stirrup hide in a new buckle-up demi-boot that says everything there is to be said about bold masculine style. Step into Dexter's Swashbuckler at
