Phony Phone For Incident Calls Blamed At Rally A fake phone call by someone pietending to be King Roberts =et up a racial incident at the Terry Sanford rally on Saturday after noon a Negro minister declared today. The Reverend R E. Stitt, a col ored Presbyterian minister who had received the phony invitation to the rally said, "I'm positive it was not the real King Roberts.” Roberts himself "aid it was his orders that turned Negroes from the gates after the phony invitat ion which apparently originated with some anonymous foes of San ford’s candidacy f r governor. San ford him“elf knew nothing of the incident, Roberts asserted. The Negro minister, recipient of two calls from the faking par ty at the other end of the line, said he accepted the message at face value. Except for the phone calls, he said, he would have been unaware of the Sanford rally at the King Roberts ranch. As it was, he passed on word of the sup posed invitation but did not head for the rally himself. Since then, declared Rev. Stitt, he has called the real King Ro berts by telephone and talked to him in person. “On hearing his voice," he said, “I realized there was chicanery involved. The two voice were dis tinctively different.” To those who trade on the tobac co markets, few voices are at veil-known as that of the color ful Roberts, one of Sanford’s Har nett County campaign managers. His great ranch is one of the -showplaces of Harnett County and made an impressive backdrop for the Life photographers who came to photograph a Southern political rally. Roberts blamed “Lake support ers” for the phony phone calls and said he knew' who was res ponsible but mentioned no names.

The highway passes within a few steps of the church here. The transfer will take effect dur ing the first week in June. Today, as he discussed the Dunn parish he is leaving, Father Stok es occasionally puffed on a cigar and said he has had a pleasant iand encouraging time in this stronghold of Southern Baptistry.

The death toll was expected to reach 5.000 or more. Nine volcanos which had been silent for half a century belched forth smoke, ash and lava over a wide area already devastated in the worst series of earthquak es in history of this nation. Authorities said four new qua kes struck the disaster area today and that one of them was grade 12 — of cataclysmic propertions. It caused another of the huge ti dal waves that has wrecked villages all along the south Chilean coast. The death toll mounted by the hour. Government officials who early today estimated 3.600 per sons dead or missing said the toll probably would go over 5.000 when the full effect of the cataclysm is known. Two new volcanoes on the shor es of Lake Rinihue added their horror to that of at least seven already known to be erupting. Os orno, the biggest of them all, was belching fire that could be seen for miles. Puyehue also erupted today. The earthquake was recorded in New York at a magnitude of 6.5 to 7 on the Richter scale on which the greatest quake ever re corded was under 9. Seismologists Said “grade of 12” apparently was based on the MercaUi scale of intensity of which 12 is th£ maximum.
