But, though they lost the bat tle, they have won the war, be cause Rameses is back at UNC. Dean of Men William G. Long yesterday contacted the Wake Forest Dean of Men, who promptly put out an APB for Hesitant KKK Witnesses Facing Possible Trouble WASHINGTON (AP) Ku Klux Klan witnesses who re fused to answer questions about finances were warned yesterday of two kinds of pos sible trouble: Congressional contempt citations and feder al tax action. The House Committee on Un-American Activities had scores of questions about the flow and ultimate destination of Klan dues, donations col lected at rallies and profits from the sale of $15 satin robes. But the answers by Imper ial Wizard Robert Shelton of Tuscaloosa, Ala., and James Robert Jones of Salisbury, N. C, described by the com mittee as Grand Dragon for his state, were a steady repe tition of claims for Fifth Amendment protection against Gov. Moore Meets Britfc Two Others Gov. Dan Moore held a brief meeting in his office yesterday with three men who would be key figures if a special session of the legislature were called. The three were Rep. David Britt, chairman of the speaker ban commission, Lt. Gov. Rob ert, Scott, House Speaker Pat Taylor. Taylor and Scott would pre side over a special session if it were called, an J Britt might report to the legislature the findings of his commission on the speaker bar.. However, Britt said yester day that reapportionment was the main issue discussed at the 45-minute meeting. "The speaker ban was men tioned briefly, but I told them the committee was not ready to report yet," Britt said. He was contacted at his home in Fairmont. Britt said his commission would be ready to report to the legislators after Nov. 10. However, he said that "just by pure arithmetic," the legisla tors could not be called to Ra leigh before January. There would have to be a court ruling on the special ses sion, if it were called, Britt said. That would most likely come around Nov. 15. And af ter that it would take until the first of the year to get the leg islators to Raleigh. Asked if the speaker ban were discussed at yesterday's meeting Britt said, "Yes, but it was purely a side issue. We are very concerned about re apportionment." If the special session of. the legislature were held after Jan. 1, Britt's commission should have finished its study of the ban, and could report them to the General Assembly, iwun..u Wr-if t Hid nnt nrp. diet any action on the speaker ban if the session were called, he said "it remains to be seen," whether the General As sembly would have their chance to act. the woolly victim. Long got a call late yester day afternoon from the dean, who said the ram was on its way back. It arrived in Chapel Hill last night.

Willis, D-La., cautioned both men that their refusal to comply with subpoenas for production of Klan records might make them liable for contempt cita tions. At one point in the question ing of Jones who repeated the Fifth Amendment formula to all inquiries about filing of corporate and income tax re turns Willis said: "I think you may be in worse trouble than a mere ci tation for contempt." Chief Investigator Donald T. Appell put into the record in formation he said showed pur chase by Jones of 3,757 yards of acetate satin and smaller quantities of other goods. Ap pell said a Klan robe takes about five yards of satin at 69 cents a yard less 10 per cent discount and sells for $15. The best information the committee has, he said, is that the profits after whatever was paid to make up the robes for sale in North Caro lina went to Jones. Another series of questions Jones refused to answer re lated to a suggestion that Klan funds were deposited in a personal bank account of Jones and his wife. Appell said that Shelton had reported Klan income of about $18,000 from all sources in fiscal 1965. But, Appell said, if Shelton had reported only the money made in Jones' North Carolina realm he should have reported $32,845. And that, Appell said, did not count the money coming in from other states. The North Carolina Klan told the Internal Revenue Service that it was not filing a tax return because it was only a geographical subdivi sion of the United Klans of America, and not really an organization in itself, Appell said.

Before Rameses' return by the Wake administration, Jones said yesterday, "We hope to keep him here until after Sat urday's game, unless the ad ministration makes us give him back," which they did. Not enough people partici pated in the first rescue at tempt, Clem said. They left Chapel Hill at 6:30 p.m. and arrived at the main gate of Wake Forest in Winston-Salem about 7:30 Tuesday night. A crowd of some 400 rowdy students awaited them, so the six UNC cars parked off cam pus. "We had covered our Caro lina stickers with political post ers," Clem said, "but forgot about the parking stickers. "Anyhow, the crowd was still waiting for us when we began to infiltrate into their ranks, pretending to be Wake Forest students. "We waited with them for over an hour until they finally started saying we weren't even coming. By this time, however, they had discovered our cars and set up a human barricade around them. "We then saw Rameses VII being carried into the Lamda Chi house, but he was under heavy guard." The UNC stu dents then attempted to get to their cars. "We used diversionary tact ics," Clem said. "Some os us began yelling aboout UNC stu dents over by the Lamda Chi house." This gave them enough time to get into the cars, all except for four UNC student who were kidnapped. There was a chase in the tradition of Charlie Chaplan, with Wake cars out numbering UNC cars by "two to one," Clem said. By 1 a.m. or so we had lo cated all the kidnapped stu dents but one, who was being held somewhere on the cam pus. But we got him later." IFC Disbands For Concept Of 'Inactives9 By BILL GORDON Special To The DTH A resolution disbanding the concept of "inactives" in fra ternity houses was passed at a special meeting of the lntra fraternity Council Monday night. The proposal, submit ted by Kappa Sigma repre sentative Neil Thomas, elim inated the former policy whereby "inactives" (initiat ed members who fail to main tain a 2.0 GPA two semesters . i m succession) were not al lowed on fraternity property. Such students will now re main fully active members. Another motion, introduced by Sterling Phillips of Beta Theta Pi, was defeated m ta vor of Thomas's proposal. Phillips suggested a modifi cation of the former policy which would allow the "inac tives" to be on fraternity property for meals and all hours between midnight Thursday until midnight Sun day. This would allow the "in actives" to take part in the house social functions, which would, in turn, aid the finan cial status of the house. Dean of Men William G. Long termed the IFC's action "rational and humane." Al though he said this was his feeling and not necessariiy that of the administration, Long felt that once a student had been initiated their aca demic shortcomings should not restrict them from their fraternity life. A conscientious student, he added, will not let his average fall below the 2.0 barrier; those that do, will do so whether they are an active member of a fraternity or not. IFC President Frank Mar tin agreed with Long that the new policy would be benefi cial to the fraternity system at Carolina. "The former rul ing," Martin said, "involved so few people, as few as to or three in each house, that it was really a matter of ex cluding individuals from their fraternities. It definitely need ed changing and I feel we did the best possible modification by eliminating the policy al to - " nn Star 1 UMV'SlS3Aiv 1- fit' I BLUEGRASS GROWN IN GM 'Doc' Wat son, said by some critics to be the greatest living bluegrass guitarist in the world, per formed in the main lounge of GM yesterday Protests -Favor U.S. Military Role NEW YORK (AP) A boomeranging counter - wave built up Wednesday to the demonstrations against U. S. military operations in Viet Nam. Protests spiraled against the protesters. Both sides were rallying fol lowers to dramatize their sen timents. From college campuses the same quarters from which some of the attacks came on U. S. military action came some of the resurgent defense for it. At Yale University, a group of students distributed pamph lets, calling for a mass rally Thursday to demonstrate backmg for America s course in Viet Nam. Claiming that most students disapprove the anti-adminis tration demonstrations, the group included various stu dent leaders. "We feel that there is little support at Yale for groups which have attempted to im pede troop movements ana encourage students to oDstruci the draft," the group declared in the pamphlet. At the University of Missis sippi in Oxford, the campus senate adopted a strong res olution supporting President Johnson's policies, and re pudiating demonstrations against the American inter vention in Asia. At Lakeland High School near Peekskill, N. Y., the senior class prepared peti tions to the president and the U.S. commander in Viet Nam, Gen. William Westmoreland, supporting the Viet Nam ac tion. Michael Lane, high school history instructor, said the class wanted to offset the anti draft and peace demonstra tions. These demonstrations had burgeoned over the weekend, and the movement continued to press its opposition to the Viet Nam war, with more pro test demonstrations planned, including a march next month on Washington, D. C. It was in reaction to these widespread manifestations that the pro - administration groups began mustering their own followings to the field. A newly formed citizens committee in New York said it was planning a massive Fifth Avenue parade of sup port for American effort in Viet Nam, rivaling the hugb Student march in New York afternoon. An dents turned Take On New Look The National Jaycees an nounced a program of activi ties to undercut the anti-Viet Nam demonstrators 'such as "packing" their meetings and circulating critical infor mation about their leaders. At Michigan State Univer sity a group of students, head ed by William Webb, a De troit junior, started a cam paign for 15,000 student signa tures on a petition supporting President Johnson. Similar petitions were being circulated at West Virginia State College where the stu dent council president, G 1 y n Knapp, said the goal was 1,800 signatures. At Washington State Univer sity, the annual blood - donor drive based its appeal on aid ing the Viet Nam Military ef fort. At Temple University in Philadelphia, Alpha Phi Ome ga, a national service frater nity, voted unanimously for a "mail call Viet Nam" project to make sure each of the 140,000 fighting men there get Christmas cards. In Huntsville, Ala., the 2,500 member post of the Veterans of Foreign Wars launched "operation sweet tooth" to show support for Americans fighting in Viet Nam by sending them packages of homemade cookies and candy. Anti-War Group Attacks Draft CHICAGO A radi cal student group vowed Tues day that investigation and even prosecution by the federal gov ernment would not stop its "unqualified opposition" to the war in Viet Nam or its beat theiraft program. "The attacks ... by the President and other public of ficials sadden us, but it is a comparatively small price to pay for our continued refusal to support this war," Richard Rothstein, national staff mem ber of Students for a Demo cratic Society (SDS), said. The Chicago - based organi zation is currently polling its estimated 10.000 members on the beat-the-draft policy Roth stein said. Results are expect ed in about four days, and if the vote is favorable the pro gram will become "official" SDS Dolicv. Jeliberatioe Today over-flow crowd of UNC out for the show.

At a cattle sale in Culpeper, Va., he added: "Now, I believe in free speech, but these people do our country a disservice . . ." He said he has been asked to take part in a counter-demonstration, but hasn't decided if he will. In Providence, R. I., Gov. John H.

Wonder who will be the Incky guy . . .? By ED FREAKLEY DTH Staff Writer HILLSBOROUGH A charge of first degree murder against Frank Joseph Rinaldi will be turned ovar to a jury of eight men and four women for their verdict sometime late this morning. The eighth day of the retrial of the former UNC graduate instructor ended yesterday with the defense giving its summation. When court opens this morning the prosecution will deliver its final rebuttal and then Judge George M. Fountain will charge the jury at the special session of the Orange County Criminal Court. Rinaldi, 36, was convicted last Nov. 18 for the murder of his pregnant wife, Lucille, on Christmas Eve day of 1963. The jury recommended mercy which in North Carolina auto matically carries a life sen tence. Rinaldi was granted a new trial this summer when the North Carolina Supreme Court ruled first trial Judge Ray mond Mallard had erred in admitting certain testimony. Judge's Charge Judge Fountain said he would submit three issues to the jury today: First degree murder, second degree or ac quital. The state charges Rinaldi hit his 18-weeks pregnant wife on the head with a flashlight and smothered her. A scarf was tied around her nose and mouth when she was found ly ing on the floor of their Chapel Hill apartment at 505 North St. Robert L. Satterf ield, a Hillsborough attorney - assist ing Cooper, began the argu ments to the jury. He said, "I argue to you he planned and did it just as cool and calcu lated as anyone could." The state claims a $20,000 double indemnity insurance policy which Rinaldi took out on his wife is the motive for the murder. In the final summation de fense attorney Gordon Battle said the evidence shows con clusively that Rinaldi was in nocent. Attack Testimony He and the other two de fense attorneys Victor F. Bry ant and Barry M. Winston cited the testimony of patholo gist, Dr. N. F. Rodman Jr., who testified Monday that Mrs. Rinaldi died of suffoca tion or asphyxiation between 10 a.m. and noon, and that of witnesses who said they saw the defendant in Durham at the alleged time of death. John F. Sipp, Chapel Hill in surance agent and a close friend of Rinaldi, testified that he was with him from 8:40 a.m. until 1:40 p.m. when they returned to Rinaldi's apart ment and found the body. The three attorneys told the jury not to believe the testi mony of Alfred Foushee, Ne- urj gro waiter, who told the court Rinaldi had tried to hire him "at least a dozen times" to kill his wife. Changed Story Winston said Foushee had changed his story many times and that it raises a question able doubt as to whether or not it can be relied upon. Battle quoted from a letter that was supposedly written by Mrs. Rinaldi on the morn ing of the murder. The letter was addressed to Kevin Ker rane, who had roomed with Ri naldi. In the letter, she wrote her husband had gone on a shop ping trip to Durham "to tell Santa what a nice girl I have been." Toward the end she said, "This Christmas is all we hoped it would be." Battle charged the jury with their responsibility saying, "If the judge makes a mistake an appeal will rectify it, but no one on this earth can correct a mistake if you make one." The state and defense rest ed at noon yesterday after So licitor Thomas A. Cooper Jr. attempted to introduce new testimony which he said would impeach the testimony of the defense's chief witness, Sipp. With the jury out of the courtroom Cooper called post al inspector Edwin S. Shively Jr. of Charlotte to the stand. His testimony concerned a conversation between himself and Sipp in which Sipp alleg edly told Shively that in his graduate work he wrote a the sis on "torture and bondage." Earlier in the week Cooper asked Sipp if he .hadn't re ceived pornographic material in the mails. Sipp replied, "Yes, some people might think it was pornographic." However, Judge Fountain ruled out the testimony. "I just don't believe it is competent," Fountain said. Cooper then tried to get the testimony merely for the rec ord in the absence of the jury, but Fountain .ruled against this also. Rinaldi, who didn't testify at the first trial, and was on the stand all day Tuesday, return ed for a few minutes yester day morning. Cooper asked him if he didn't see a movie "A Place in the Sun," which is about a man who murders his wife, nine times. Rinaldi told the jury he had seen at least 15 films 10 times, adding he was a drama critic at Georgetown University, where he graduated. He testified he was interest ed in "A Place in the Sun" because of the artistry of it. He said the movie pointed out "the false values ia Amer ican society . . . Unfairness in prosecution tactics and slanted evidence." Throughout yesterday's pro ceedings Rinaldi sat very still listening to his lawyers plead his case. He appeared calm and frequently whispered with Winston and Bryant. His father, Paul, and his only brother, Pete, both of Wa terbury, Conn., which is also Rinaldi's and his dead wife's home, sat behind him as they have since the trial began. Mrs. Rinaldi's brother, Wil liam D. Begg Jr., a Waterbury attorney, has assisted the pros ecution by supplying various information. The defense pointed. to him as the source of several questions intended to discredit Rinaldi's reputa tion. Rinaldi's Testimony Rinaldi testified Monday that he did not kill his wife, did not know who did, and had nothing whatsoever to do with her death. He and his wife had been married since June of 1963. He has spent 14 months in jail since his conviction. Rinaldi also denied that he asked police on the night of the murder, "How can you sit next to me after what I've done?" Solicitor Thomas B. Cooper in cross examination asked the defendant if he hadn't been fired by the Central Intelli gence Agency. He said he had not and the defense introduced a letter from the C.I.A. that stated Ri naldi had been released in prvH ct angina
