Rameses VII Returns Home
Mavericks Launch Crusade To Wake

DTH Staff Writer
Tuesday night's crusade by
Maverick House to the Holy
Lands in Winston-Salem failed
to bring back Rameses VII.
But, though they lost the bat
tle, they have won the war, be
cause Rameses is back at
UNC.

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,

who said the ram was on its

Chairman Edwin E. 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.

resident who organized the mis
sion, said Rameses appeared
ot be in good health, but Wake's
plans for UNC's mascot were
to shave him, paint him black
and present him with gold
horns at a pep rally this morn
ing. 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

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

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

In Providence, R. I., Gov.

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
