Party Chairman
SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) —
Senator Barry Goldwater has of
ficially tapped Rep. William E.
Miller of New York today to run
with him as the Republican par
ty’s vice presidential nominee.
Goldwater aide Edward K. Nel
lor rr-ade official what had been
unofficially certain since Wednes
day afternoon when he told news
men that Goldwater had asked
Miller to take the vice presiden
tial nomination.

after former Sen. William F.
Knowland of California called
Goldwater this morning and asked
that he be allowed to notify a
California delegation meeting of
the choice.
Miller Has been serving as cnair
man of the Republican National
Committee. He had been reported
to be Goldwater's choice for the
No. 2 spot on the ticket through
out the convention proceedings
here.
The New Yorker said he will be
“delighted” to join Goldwater in
the effort to capture thg White
House in November.
Goldwater, moving to cement
his control of the GOP party

GUY WITH MR. AND MRS. C. L. GUY, JR. AT CALIFORNIA TRIAL
"Chiefly Matter of Courtesy/' Says Hodges *
Guy Hearing To Be Monday
North Carolina’s chief paroles
officer. H A. Hodge, Jr. of Zebu
Ion, said today that Charles Lee
Guy III will be given a hearing
Monday morning at 10 o’clock be
fore the entire State Paroles Com
mission to determine whether or
not he shall be returned to Cali
fornia to serve the. remaining four
and a half years of a ten-year
term for the 1957 shotgun slaying
of his mother’s boy friend.
Hodge described the hearing as
“chiefly a matter of courtesy” and
said there could! be no question
about it since “Guy has already
admitted violating parole orders
.of both the California Paroles
Board and the N. C. Paroles Com
mission.’>
NANCE RETAINED
Guy will be represented at the
hearing by Jim Nance, noted Fay
etteville trial lawyer, since his
father, Fayetteville attorney
Charles Lee Guy, Jr., is ill in a
Fayetteville hospital.
Hodge said a formal request for
a hearing has been made and that
such requests are always honored
regardless of circumstance.
State paroles authorities have
already recommended revocation
of the youth’s parole to California
authorities. N, C. paroles officials
assumed supervision over Guy
when he was paroled to his native
state.
Guy, member of a prominent
Dunn family, has been questioned
ns a possible suspect in the slay
ing of Mary Marshall, 22, of Gar
land, who was attending Hank’s
Beauty College here when her
body was found with a bullet be
tween the eyes in a field in John
ston County last month.
Chairman N. F. Ransdell of
Varina will preside over Monday’s
paroles hearing for Guy, who was
also on parole for auto theft at
the time he was convicted of the
California killing.
Hodge made it plain N. C. pa
roles authorities would no longer
assume responsibility for super
vision of Guy in this State.
Hodge said Guy had violated
parole by possessing a pistol and
rifle, leaving the state twice with
cut permission, buying an automo
bile without permission, getting
married witnout permission and
cashing several worthless checks.
He said any one of the offenses
is a violation of parole.
Guy was given a l-to-10 year
term in California on a man
slaughter charge in connection
with the death of his divorced mo
ther's suitor, Guy Roberts. His
trial in Novemoei, 1957 attracted
national attention when his father
f:ew to Santa Monica to defend
him.
He recently has been living in
i White Oak with his wile’s family
! while employed by a Fayetteville
| tree surgery firm.
j Authorities said Guy wolild
I probably be returned to Califor
! r.ia.
