C. (UPI) — Athletic director William H. Gibson and head football coach Billy Hildebrand today were re lieved of their duties at Wake For est College in a massive shakeup aimed at reorganizing the school’s entire athletic program. Each was offered a position in the school’s athletic development program, but it was not immedi ately known whether they would accept. “After a thorough study of our athletic situation,” said Dr. Har old W. Tribble, president of W'ake Forest, “an advisory committee hac recommended that a reorganiza tion of the athletic department and football coaching staff be made at once.” Tribble said “a subcommittee of th e advisory committee has been appointed to recommend per sons to fill the position of director athletics and head football coach.” The shakeup resulted largely from Wfeke Forest’s inability , to COippete successfully in big - time TOotball.

He is a former FBI Agent and a 1929 graduate of Wake Forest. Hildebrand, 39, is a former Mis sissippi State star and assistant coach at Minnesota. He had won only seven and lost 33 since taking over as head coach in 1960, and has three years remaining on his current contract. The Deacons won only one of their past 20 games and managed to brenk an 18 - game losing streak only last month with a 20 - 19 win over South Carolina. The victorv over the Game cocks earned Hildebrand national “coach of the week” honors from United Press Intematioanal. ‘Td have to sav naturally this comes -as a disappointment to me individually and as an embarrass ment to mv manv friends,” said Gibson, a 55-vear-old former FBI agent who took over as athletic di f Continued on Page 81x1 Fourth Day In A Row President Confers ■ , ■ ' v With Negro Leader WASHINGTON (UPI) — Presi dent Johnson called in more ra cial and business leaders today in his intensive efforts to enlist more backing for tax cut and civil rights legislation The President scheduled a meet ing with James Farmer, head of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), his fourth meeting with a Negro civil rights leader to less than a week.

Latin Nations Are Asked To Break Relations g i CARACAS (UPI) — President Romulo Betancourt called Tues day night for an air and naval blockade of Cuba to put a stop to the Castroite export of arms and revolution to other nations of the New World.

Betan court also urged the few Latin American nations which have not already done so to break relations with Premier Fidel Castro’s revo lutionary regime. The President’s double-barreled attack on the Castroites was a se quel to last week’s announcement that Venezuela has “difinite and irrefutable proof” that arms found cached on a Venezuelan beach last month were smuggled in from Cuba for use by Commu nist terrorits in this country'. ‘ , f ’ -J< -c'*2 Appoints Committee ' A few hours before Betancourt spoke, the Organization of Ameri can States had voted in Wash ington to appoint a special com mittee to investigate the Vene zuelan charge. In Miami, a former Castroite who brought Belgian arms for the revolutionary regime in 1959, said he recognized one of the cached weapons which was displayed on television. Fx-MaJ. Ricardo Lorie said he is willing to assist the OAS investigators if his help Is wanted. Lorie said each of the automa tic rifles he bought in Belgium is stamped with the Cuban national emblem. “Castro was angry because I had the Cuban emblem put on the weapons,’’ he said. “Now I under stand why.” Betancourt said he does not think the rest of Latin America will hesitate to act when it sees proof that the Castro regime is seeking to overthrow the Venezue lan government.

(UPI) — The death rate among a large group of cigarette smokers during a per iod of nearly three years was more than twice as high as among a similar group of non-smokers, an American Cancer Society ex pert said today. Dr. E. Cuyler Hammond, pipe smoking director of the society’s statistical research, reported new evidence in the relationship of cigarette smoking to death and disease 'n a paper delivered at the American Medical Association’s 17th clinical meeting. Matching 36,975 men over 40 who smoked a pack of cigarettes or more per day with the same number of non - smokers, Ham mond said 1,385 of the smokers died during the 34.3-month per iod. Only 663 of the non-smok ers died. Of the cigarette smokers, 110 died of lung cancer while only 12 ol the non-smokers died of that disease. Coronary artery disease killed 654 smokers and only 304 non-smokers. Each man in one group was matched as closely as possible with a man in the other group as to age, race, size, residence ur ban or rural, religion, education, marital status, drinking habits, nervous tension and many other factors.

King, head of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, said he discussed the plan with Johnson during a one-hour pri vate conversation at the White House Tuesday. “He (Johnson) strongly en couraged it,” King said. King told reporters that he com" plained to the President that over riding controls by key congressmen bottle up crucial social legislation and thwart representative govern ment. King announced plans for a “vi gorous voter registration drive” to send more liberal members to Congress and “cause the Talmad ges and $Jie Russells to move In a different direction.” Georgia Democratic Sens. Rich ard B. Russell and Herman Tal madge led criticisms of the Pre sident’s address before a joint ses sion of Congress last week, asking for immediate passage of the Kennedy civil rights bill. King asked whether he thought more Negro voter participation would change the attitude of Rus sell or Talmadge said: “Talmadge very definitely. I don’t know a bout brother Russell.” He said Negro demonstrations that were called off at some plac es because of President Kennedy’s death will be resumed after Dec. 10 and will continue on all fronts until Congress passes the civ ft rights bill.
