Norman, Okla., Police End Satan Cult of Five Youths
NORMAN, Okla.—(UPI)—Restoration of life to horror movie idol Peter Lorre, animal sacrifices, midnight rites devoted to Satan and church vandalism all were a part of the ritual.
Members of the secret cult, aged 16 and 17, allegedly were led by a 20-year-old crippled college student who denied the role. They signed a pledge "releasing their souls to the prince of darkness, Satan."
Horror movies, television programs and two paperback books on witchcraft were sources for the ritual ideas.
BUT, THE CULT has been disbanded—by police.
Alleged members of the almost unbelievable cult face the believable the possibility of prison terms.
Four teen-agers, arrested early Monday leaving a church that had been vandalized, were free on separate $3,000 bonds on a felony charge of injuring a house of worship.
A FIFTH YOUTH charged in connection with the 10-month spree of church vandalism in Norman was arrested Wednesday. Police said the teen-agers had identified him as their "counselor," but he denied it.
The teen-agers said the youth, Larry McLean, was a wheelchair student at the University of Oklahoma and "advised" them on "black magic."
The four high school members were Richard Lowher Holland Jr.,
Korea Gives Top Honor To Truman
Jack Graham Johnson, Dennis Lee Frank and Royce Lee Jennings, police said.
WILSON SAID an "order" signed by one of the boys and passed on to other cult members indicated the cult planned to exhume Lorre's body and restore life to it. Lorre was one of the cult's idols, the officer said.
INDEPENDENCE, Mo. — (UPI)—Former President Harry S. Truman yesterday received the highest medal of the Republic of Korea for his "contribution to the cause of human freedom and democracy."
The youths slipped out of their homes at night to participate in the cult activities, Wilson said. One directive urging members to attend a meeting stated, "lack of approval of parents shall not be accepted as an excuse."
Police Chief Sid Wilson said at least two of the cult members were "real serious" about witchcraft.
The "order" did not explain how the boys planned to restore life, and the youths would not tell officers about it.
Chung Yul Kim, Korean ambassador to the U.S., presented the medal, Order of Merit for National Foundation Joorang, in a ceremony at the Truman Library, marking the 14th anniversary of the start of the Korean War in 1950.
"As President of the United States from April 12, 1945, to Jan. 20, 1953, Mr. Truman gave inspiring leadership to his own people and to all others who chose to be free.
Wilson said the boys' parents were "pretty well shocked" when told of the escapades.
"During his eminent administration, Mr. Truman spared no effort in securing early restoration of the sovereignity of Korea and promoting stability in this new republic by an expanded program of economic assistance.
ONE OF THE PARENTS later said the escapade was a Huckleberry Finn type of adventure and the cult idea originated in an unidentified book one of the boys read in a high school library. She said the boys apparently "got carried away."
"Upon the outbreak of the Korean War, Mr. Truman never deviated from his determination to send immediate help to this embattled peninsula. Through his brilliant and far-sighted statesmanship, the United Nations Security Council dispatched troops from 16 member nations who, in the name of international peace and security, joined our own forces under the United Nations' flag to repel the grave Communist onslaught.
Police said only one of the youths had been in serious trouble with the law before. He was arrested for burglary as a juvenile, officers said.
The citation:
"Mr. Truman's devotion to the principles of liberty and democracy continues to be an inspiration to all freedom-loving peoples, and this award is made as a symbol of our highest admiration for one who has so notably contributed to our cause, and that of all humanity."
NAACP Finds Civil Rights Had Important Role in 1963
NEW YORK—Civil rights activity in the centennial year of the Emancipation Proclamation touched every segment of the population in this country, attracted the attention and stirred the imagination of the entire world, according to the NAACP annual report for 1963.
Highlights include the variety of campaigns conducted at the grass-roots level of the association "in the areas of public accommodations, legislation, employment, education, housing, voter registration, police brutality and the destruction in every area of American life of the Jim Crow stereotype."
"It was a year of hope and work and sacrifice with no time for relaxation and far too little reflection," the report says. "It was a year of unrelenting struggle from dawn until nightfall, from January through December."
The 128-page report, entitled "In Freedom's Vanguard," was released here and in Washington by NAACP Executive Secretary Roy Wilkins in connection with the association in the 55th annual convention in Washington.
CONTAINED IN the report is a chronicle of the association's "banner year" in activity, membersnip and income. Also included are two special chapters, one on the tragic assassination of Medgar Evers, NAACP Mississippi field secretary, and the other on the March on Washington, "a day not only of sunshine and hope and dedication (but) also a day of pride and of dignity."
IN MANY AREAS NAACP-conducted campaigns resulted in gains, both in the South and elsewhere. The report notes the gains made in Mississippi as "a result of NAACP mass action demonstrations and the willingness of courageous citizens to protest unequal treatment and age-old racist practices."
Of prime importance in 1963 was NAACP action through its Washington Bureau on behalf of passage of a comprehensive civil rights bill. Executive Secretary Wilkins made two appearances before Congressional committees testifying in behalf of the bill, and the NAACP kept careful watch on its progress during the year.
Membership was the largest in NAACP history — 534,710 spread throughout its 1,762 branches, youth
Because of the NAACP drive in Jackson, "six Negroes were appointed to the police force and eight Negro women named as school crossing guards; some Jim Crow signs removed in public buildings; and registration of Negro voters facilitated. Meanwhile, a Capitol Street selective buying campaign proved almost 100 per cent effective."
councils and college chapters in 49 states.
THE REPORT notes that "burgeoning civil rights activities" necessitated an intensification of the NAACP legal program. "Direct action protests, increased demands for equal opportunity in employment, and expanded attacks against segregated school conditions required the development of a strategy of defense to insure freedom of association, protect the right to picket peacefully and secure equality of opportunity for Negroes in education and employment."
