There was no confirmation cf the Communist claims from Saigon headquarters. The U.S. Command announced 155 air war missions by American planes Monday which con centrated on the panhandle are betwesn the DMZ and the 19th parallel. The total was five less than the record this year, logged last Saturday. Official U.S. sources disclos ed that American aircraft have dropped at least 20 million leaflets over North Vietnam in recent days, urging the pen pie to press their Communist leader to enter "meaningful peaca ialks." The U.S. sources said the psychological warfare cam paign bgan on April 1 the day the bombing curtailment started. Like the limited air strikes, the propaganda leaflets have been dropped on ly as far north as the 19th Parallel. The focus of the ground war remained fixed in the Saigon area, and allied intelligence officers said they expect another large-scale Viet Cong attack on the capital rivaling that . during the Tet offensive in January and February. The Communists held on Saigon's f ringers for 10 days in that assault. Elements of three Com munist deivisions are believed within easy striking distance of the capital. "DALTON Ga. A prison buddy of James Earl Ray said Tuesday that when Ray heard their was a "million-dollar bounty" on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. he smiled and said "I'll collect it." Ray a 40-year-old fugitive from the Missouri State prison is accused by the FBI of assassinating King in Memphis on April 4. In the Dalton jail Raymond Curtis 40 awaiting appeal on a murder sentence said he has known Ray in the Kansas City jail in federal prison at Leavenworth Kan. and in the state prison at Jefferson City Mo. He described Ray a s likeable, addicted to "dope." a "loner" and a man con cerned only with money. On the day President Ken nedy was assassinated Nov. Ray- and about 150 other prisoners were in an exercise yard when they heard the news. He said Ray remarked "Well somebody made a pret ty penny on that." About a week later Curtis said he and Ray were in the yard when "a new man just in off the street" told them "the businessmen's association has a million dollar bounty out for Martin Luther King." Ray smiled. Curtis recalled and said. "If there's a million dollars out for King I believe if I ever get out I'll collect it." Curtis said he never figured out what the "new man" meant by the "businessmen's association." He said he couldn't remember who the man was. "I didn't think much about it at the time. In prison you hear all sorts of hellacious ideas." said Curtis, a rawboned man. Authorities in Jefferson City confirmed that Curtis and Ray were in prison at the same lime. Authorities in Dalton said the FBI had interviewed Curtis on Sunday and again Monday night. It refused com ment on the matter. Curtis said Ray told him he always carried a gun. He wttj always interested in money" Curtis said but never menuoned racial matters. "He never made no statements of any kind in a group" Curtis said. "He was a !o:er." Hay couldn't make a long conversation "unless he was planning something" said Cur . tis. "If he was planning something you could bet they'd be thorough plans." Ray he said masterminded things "that would be small things outside but were pretty big jobs in prison" such as the theft of eggs and drugs and cigarettes. He said Ray told him that if he ever wanted to kill so meone he would buy a gua under a false name and have everything ready for an escape. "He used to talk a lot about escaping to New Zealand. Brazil and Argentina" Curtis said.

EUGENE McCARTHY FOR PRESIDENT BECAUSE He had the courage to mount a campaign which was addressed to the really significant foreign and domestic problems facing the United States at a time when most Americans merely stood on the sidelines and complained. He offered hope to young citizens when they were becoming increasingly disenchanted with the possibilities for change within the existing political framework. He has fought fearlessly for individual rights at times when most political figures chose to remain silent for the sake of expediency. He has been instrumental in setting off the chain of events which at last offer a glimmer of hope for the settlement of the unfortunate Viet Nam conflict He among the candidates for President is most likely to help bridge the increasingly critical "generation gap." He has offered an outstanding plan of action and has the fortitude to bring it into being. His courage, intellect, and temperament make him particularly well qualified to lead the United States during an era of possibly unprecedented challenges. . - WE URGE OUR FELLOW STUDENTS REGARDLESS OF POLITICAL PARTY AFFILIATION TO JOIN IN WORKING FOR THE MAN WHO CAN BEST LEAD US IN THE COMING YEARS.
