King Defends Memphis March MEMPHIS, Tenn. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Friday defend ed his Memphis march that left one dead and 62 injured and-said .he -had no intention, of. calling, off demonstrations here or his massive "poor peoples' " march on Washington. "Riots are here. Riots are part of the ugly atmosphere of our society now," declared the integration leader. President Johrbon, while not naming King, but obviously referring to the Memphis violence, took a different position. Speaking before a labor group in Washington, the President said the nation cannot tolerate "mindless violence," regardless of what motivates it. King said he would be back in Memphis for another mass march next week. "I'm absolutely convinced it's possible to held a nonviolent march," he declared. ' But he said he could not guarantee there would be no riots at the Memphis demonstration next week, or next month Intercollegiate Seminar To '"'Meet TKisWMetM Representatives to the Intercollegiate Seminar,, an outgrowth of the Carolina Symposium, will be visiting the campus this week.

Senators Attempt I o Block King WASHINGTON Two senators called for federal action Friday to block Martin Luther King's planned "poor people's crusade" in Washington. The nation's highest Negro officeholder agreed noting it would be hard for King to keep the crusade peaceful. Following an outburst of violence during a King march in Memphis Thursday, Sens. Robert C. Byrd, D-W. Va., and John Stennis, D Miss., demanded King's planned crusade starting April 22 be blocked. "If this self-seeking rabble-rouser is allowed to go through with his plans here, Washington may well be treated to the same kind of violence, destruction, looting and bloodshed," Byrd said in discusing the Memphis riot. Fill A Bombers Hit North Vietnam SAIGON 5 U.S. Air Force F111A swing-wing bombers based in Thailand hit North Vietnam Friday for the fifth successive day. There were increasing fears one of the supersecret jets'lost Thursday had fallen into Communist hands. There was no confirmation from the U.S. Command of North Vietnamese claims that Communist forces shot down the missing F111A over the western part of Ha Tinh Province along the Laotian border about 100 miles north of the Demilitarized Zone. Saigon headquarters maintained complete silence on the fate of the $G million plane and its two-man crew under standard operating procedures denying the Communists any information detrimental to the United States. U S. commanders Firday night stuck by their first an nouncement 'saying the F111A was 4overdue on a mission in Southeast Asia." examine extensively the topic "Red China and the West." In addition to attending the lectures, the representatives will have the opportunity to participate in small group discussions with the Sym posium speakers There will be banquets, receptions, and social events as well, which should give them a chance to get to know each other and to meet some UNC students and faculty members. "Never before have we been able to pay the represen tatives' way to Chapel Hill," Twelve Aldermen ositions Vacant P While here the students will be -guests of the university. They will stay in dorms, fraternities and sororities and several of their meals will be provided by fraternities and sororities. They will also have some free time to wander in Chapel Hill, although most of their time will be taken up with Symposium activities.

The Society of Janus, a com pus honorary organization, has voted imanimously to include women students in . mem bership of its previously all male organizaaion. Each spring the Society recognizes students, faculty, and administrative personnel who have made outstanding contributions to residence hall and residential college life at UNC. .Dwight, E. Thomas, Presi dent of. the-. Society, said, "Although our traditional ties are with the men's residence halls, we also recognize that women are now beginning to develop leadershiD in campus residence life. This is most evident in the formation and success of co-ed residential colleges. "The Society of -Janus, believing that these leaders should be honored for their outstanding contribution, has unanimously voted to consider outstanding women students in its selection of new members, effective this spring," said -Thomas. Thomas stressed that the Society has considered choos ing women students for time, to be thoroughly checked with the traditional bylaws of the organization. The possibility of having a sister honorary was also con sidered, since the Society has traditionally been composed exclusively of men. However, the Society decided that the organizational aspects could be handled better with one group, according to Thomas. The Society is now in the process of choosing 10-15 spring initiates, several of which will be women students. After initiation at the annual spring-banquet; the Society of Janus will announce the winner of this year's Robert White Linker Award. The $150 Award is given an nually by the Society to an outstanding residence hall stu dent who has demonstrated scholarship, service, and determination. The organization is also working on plans to furnish the Society of Janus Room, to be located in the new Stu dent Union Building. and had therefore no: uble to take action, U13 oied to re-committ the bill.

C George Wallace's campaign forces Friday threatened a plan that could throw South Carolina's general election into chaos if they cannot prevent two vote-splitting slates of Wallace elecors off the ballot. Tom Turnips eed, a South Carolinian hired earlier this year by the former Alabama Governor, threatened to come up with additional slates of electors pledged to Democratic and Republican presidential nominees to split these votes as well. The turmoil arose because of threats by the newly-organized South Carolina Independent Party headed by Maurice Bessinger to put up a slate of Wallace electors separate from the electors chosen by Wallace's designated campaign leaders in South Carolina. Turnipsecd said if this happens "we are going to court to have their names removed from the ballot." If this fails, Turnipseed said, "we'll come up and put some more LBJ electors on the ballot and we'll also do so with the Republican party."

"We have asked the ad ministration about giving us the sidewalks that they admit we need, but nothing has-been done. "We have conferred with them about the proposed new community center (plans dated 1962), but still no action. "As long as the Aldermen cannot be effective in this way, no one will think that it is worth their time to become a member," Mrs. Ackerman said.

He also said that speculation about his candidacy for Daily Tar Heel Editor as an attempt to split his opponents' support is false.
