Clemente was officially declared dead Monday, after an all-day search found no survivors and recovered only wreckage, by Puerto Rico's outgoing governor, Luis A. Perre. Governor-elect Ra fael Hernandez Colon called Clemente's death a "nation al tragedy" and canceled, to augural day festivities that were scheduled for Tuesday, Jan. 2. THE FOUR-ENGINE, propeller-driven aircraft devel oped engine trouble after take-off from San Juan and was trying to return to the airport when it went down in 60 feet of water about a mile off the coast. A U. S Coast Guard Cut ter and a Navy helicopter sent to the scene reported finding bits of wreckage, life jackets, luggage and boxel filled with relief supplies. A SEARCH for the vic tims' bodies continues. Clemente, 38, a native and national hero of Puerto Rico !''" three days of nation al mourning were proclaim ed, was driven to the airport by his widow, Vera, 32. She later said Clemente had been hesitant about making the flight to Mana gua, but told her; "What the heck, I'll go. Just be sure to have roast pork for me and the kids when I get back." IN ADDITION to his wife, he is survived by three chil dren, Roberto Jr., 7, Luisitp 5, and Kicky 4. Other victims were Arthur Rivera, president of Ameri can Air Express Leasing Co.; Jerry Geisel, the pilot; Fran cisco Mat'as, the engineer; and Carlos Lozano, an asso ciate -of Clemente. Clemente had agreed to head Puerto Rico's earth-i quake relief operation when he got word of the disaster Dec. 23. 'His organization had collected . $150,000 in cash and tons of food, cloth ing and medicine for the sur vivors. ' j SLAIN (Continued from front page) belonged to the dead man. The hearing for Mrs. Wil liams - who police say is known as "Willie Mae Tim mons" - was set for Tues day in District Court. She was held without bond pending ap pearance in court.

His proposal, Mr. Morris! in urn if I hern is discrimination is grant ingij loans to minorities seeking to make purchases in white neighborhoods as well as to whites who wish to enter ra cially-integrated or impacted j. areas. ... "If the FDIC is , to assure compliance with its fair hous ing regulations," Mr. Morris said, "it is obligated to re quire a vigorous and thorough search for discriminatory lending practices as an inte gral part of the routine ex aminations fo member institutions." WIDELY REGARDED as one of major lea; base ball's most exciting players and the son of a sugar plan tation foreman, Clemente be gan his career in 1053 when at age 19, he was signed as a free agent by -the Brooklyn Dodgers and sent to their Montreal farmclub in the International League. Clemente's arrival earns only seven years after Jack ie Robinson broke, baseball's color barrier with the Dodg ers, whose t53 roster listed flye black players. Many observers felt that Clemente was signed to a minor-league contract even though that meant he might be lost in the draft because of a quota system which once restricted entry of blaeks into the major leagues. THE PITTSBURGH Pi rates finished last in the Na tional League that season and -made the promising' young outfielder their first choice in the draft.

In a statement issued at the Association's National Office here, Wednesday, Dec.20, Mr. Wilkins noted that the ROTC had reported cadets from in nority groups now compose 17.4 per cent of the 41,294 undergraduates enrolled in the Army's reserve officer training program on some 300 college, and university campuses across the country. "Negro enrollment alone has risen to 13.7 per in the current school year," Mr. Wilkins said. "This is the second consecutive year in which minority and black enrollment in college-level Army ROTC has shown sig nificant increases." The NAACP's executive di rector attributed the increases in large part to the extensive support of Army ROTC's ml- nority recruiting effort by the NAACP and other infrWhtial minority group organizations. "The Army ROTC program is the single largest source of commissioned officers for the Army and the increase in en rollment of black cadets will provide a significant increase in black officers commissioned by the Army during the next four years," Mr. Wilkins said. "For that reason, many" of our 1,500 chapters and 420, 000 members are cooperating with Army ROTC in its con tinuing efforts to increase the number of cadets from black and other minority communi ties," he continued. Mr. Wilkins said that through the cooperation of the NAACP Army ROTC spokesmen were able to inform black communi ties across the country of the advantages to black youth of the leadership development pro gram. Through the pages of the NAACP newsletter, "The Ve terans' Voice," and The Crisis - the Association's official mon thly organ - Negro youngsters learned of the Army's ROTC scholarship program, he said. Nearly 400, or about nine per cent of all black cadets, now are attending school on these scholarships which pay the full cost of tuition, textbooks, lab fees, aifd other educational ex pensesand provide a subsis tnece allowance of $100 a month for up to 10 months of the school year. "The Army ROTC is to be commended for its effective effort to increase the number of minority cadets in its pro gram," Mr. Wilkins said. "From the information I have available its record in this regard is the best established anywhere in the military."
