Slain Integrationist Warned of Death
GAD5DEN, Ala. — (UPI) — A postman slain during an integration march on an Alabama highway was warned at least three times he would be killed for his beliefs, authorities disclosed today.
Both President Kennedy and Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace expressed outrage over the slaying of William L. Moore, 35, of Baltimore, Md.
In it. Moore noted the warnings.
Kennedy called it "an outrageous crime" at his nationally televised news conference. The governor, announcing he had ordered every investigative agency in the state to work on the killing, said it was a "dastardly act."
ALABAMA OFFICIALS made public a diary Moore kept during his anti-segregation walk from Chattanooga, Tenn., toward Jackson, Miss., where he intended to present a letter of protest to Gov. Ross Barnett.
In it, Moore noted the warnings.
In *Chattanooga*, a woman from whom he bought a milkshake told him, "I hope you make it." The diary quoted Moore's reply: "I hope so too if the niggers don't get me." The woman then said, "No, I think the whites will get you."
EXCERPTS FROM the diary said:
"April 22 --- walking again ... couple of passing cars have yelled, 'nigger loving ----- -----'
"April 23 — walking again. Traffic cop wav greeting . . . invited to chat with few men who had heard about my walk on TV. They didn't think I'd finish my walk alive."
"A couple of men who had talked to me before drove up and questioned my religious and political beliefs. And one was sure I'd be killed for them. . ."
THE LAST ENTRY. "only kids adopt dogs," noted the fact Moore had presented some children with a stray dog he had picked up on his march. He gave them the dog at a general store located only a mile from the place his body was found
Tuesday night, sprawled on U.S. 11 in front of a roadside park 13 miles from Gadsen.
He had been shot once in the forehead and once in the neck with 22 caliber bullets. The sandwichboard sign he carried, which said, "Eat at Joes, both black and white.Equal rights for all (Mississippi or bust)." was still on his back.
An investigator for the Alabama department of public safety, Roy McDowell, disclosed he had stopped Moore shortly after he left the general store and offered his protection. He said Moore refused.
Moore had saved his vacation time to make the trip south. He walked from Baltimore to the White House in an abortive attempt to deliver a personal letter to President Kennedy.
AFTER WHITE HOUSE guards turned him away, he took a bus to Chattanooga and set out last Sunday on his walk to Jackson.
Moore's widow, located in Binghampton, N.Y., called him a "crusader at heart" and said she was "terribly afraid for him . . . and I knew something would go wrong, I felt it. . ."
"I WANTED TO bring him with me." McDowell said. "We were afraid something like this would happen. But he (Moore) said he didn't need any protection. If I could have found some reason to pick him up I would have done so . . . but he was apparently breaking no laws."
The state of Alabama has offered a $1,000 reward for his slave.
An integration organization, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), announced in Atlanta, Ga., it would complete the march Moore started. SNCC administrative assistant Julian Bond said the organization's executive committee would meet in Norfolk, Va., next weekend to plan the hike which will be resumed at the spot where Moore died.
P-t-P Reception Hour Scheduled for May 9
The People-to-People reception hour will give foreign students and Americans an opportunity to meet on an informal basis, according to Sharon Foster, chairman of P-t-P hospitality committee.
The foreign students can bring their friends and guests with them at the reception hour and give them a chance to meet other foreign students and Americans.
The reception hour will be from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. May 9, in the Jayhawk Room of the Kansas Union.
Elizabeth Boggs, a member of President Kennedy's Panel on Mental Retardation, will speak at a dinner Friday evening. Saturday morning she will show slides of a tour through Holland made by the Administration's panel.
MISS BOGGS is a past president of the National Association for Retired Children and is now chairman of the NARC Research Committee.
Association Meet Begins Tomorrow
Maynard Reynolds, chairman of the Minnesota Advisory Committee on Mental Retardation, will talk on "Coordinating Efforts to Serve Mentally Retarded Children" at the general session on Friday.
Reynolds, who is also director of special education at the University of Minnesota, will show a film during registration.
The convention will be made up of several workshops which will discuss the development of community centered services. "Resources for the Retarded—Fact or Fiction?" is the theme of the two-day meet.
The seventh annual convention of the Kansas Association for Retarded Children will be held Friday and Saturday in the Kansas Union.
JOHN CAWLEY, assistant professor of education and director of special education at KU, will moderate a workshop on "The Challenge to Special Education."

Governors Boost JFK In Backhanded Manner
California Gov. Edmund C. Brown,
a Democrat and a Kennedy support-
er, was elected conference chairman
for the next year and Republican Gov.
Mark O. Hatfield of Oregon was
picked as vice-chairman.
The resolutions committee, chaired by Hatfield, refused to report Rosellini's resolution to the conference
PHOENIX, Ariz. — (UPI) — President Kennedy's administration today had some support from the 1963 western governors' conference, but it was in a backhanded sort of way.
READ and USE THE WANT ADS
The governors, seven Republicans and five Democrats, wound up their three day conference at nearby Scottsdale yesterday by:
- Rejecting a move by Washington Gov. Albert Roselini, a Democrat and chairman of the national governor's conference, to gain support for Kennedy's youth conservation corps.
- Refusing to accept a rebate of 10 per cent of federal income taxes to states as a substitute for Kennedy's federal school aid proposals. This resolution came from Montana Gov. Tim Babcock, a Republican.
floor. Then the Washington governor attempted unsuccessfully to offer it despite the committee action.
Although he gained support from Alaska Gov. William Egan, another Democrat, he got no help from Republicans. Gov. George E. Clyde of Utah, for example, said the problem of youth employment could "best be solved at home."
