Castro Blamed For Killings In Guatemala By THEODORE A. EDIGER GUATEMALA (AP) Did the shadow of Fidel Castro lurk behind the machine gun slaying this week of the chief of the U. S. military mission here and a naval attache? Guatemala's police chief Col. Manuel Sosa Avila, himself the target of an unsuccessful assassination attempt during the current terror wave, says yes, He claims the plot was hatched at last -year's meeting of the leftist Latin American Solidarity Organization OLAS conference, hosted by Prime Minister Castro, in Havana.

The appointment of W. Chandler Stevens Jr. to the corporate staff of Essex Wire Corp. has been announced by Paul W. O'Malley, president of.

the Fort Wayne, Ind. based firm. Since 1958 Stevens had served as vice president of the Stevens Manufacturing Co. in Lexington. Upon acquisition of the company by the Controls Division of Essex Wire Corp.

in 1967, he became manager of manufacturing at the Lexington plant. In his new position Stevens will work on special presidential staff assignments. I A Reader Service Widow's Barbed Wire Fence Has Neighborhood In Uproar The Hot Line The widow says parish employes worked on the road behind her back and against her wishes, mostly while she was out of town. Besides, she says, the secluded road is used for a "lover's lane, and I don't have to stand for that kind of thing." The local, postmaster has reported the fence to his superiors, saying it blocks a mail route. Rogers and Jenkins have had a frustrating go at the barbed wire through officials channels.

TICKFAW, La. (AP) Four strands of barbed wire stretched across a dusty rural road in southeast Louisiana by a 65-year- old widow have infuriated neighbors, stymied sheriff's deputies and detoured the mailman. Mrs. Maude Brock says the road belongs to her, has for 25 years, and that's the way.it',s going to stay. She adds, "I'm a damn good shot." Two of her neighbors have taken exception.

Gayle Rogers and J. W. Jenkins have filed charges of shooting with intent to kill and obstruction of a public road against the jvidow. I By DAVE ARNOLD In December a salesman from Cuyahoga Falls talked us into placing an order for a sofa bed. We gave him a $300 down payment with a promise of delivery by Christmas.

Since then I have talked to the store owner and haven't been given any satisfaction, other than his telling me the salesman does not work for him. Do I have any way of getting my $300 back? Mrs. G. Newman St. A Only a legal one.

The store owner said he hasn't seen the salesman since Christmas, has no way of getting in touch with him because he doesn't even know where he lives, and reiterated that he has never seen a penny of your $300. "If I had the $300 I'd give it back to you without a moment's hesitation and if I had the salesman I'd wring his neck. I don't know whether he is living in Columbus, Mansfield or Akron and haven't been able to contact his family With degrees from both Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Birmingham, Birmingham, England, Stevens also is active in a number of professional and civic associations, including the Richland County Crippled Childrens Society, Mansfield Chamber of Commerce and Rotary Club. With his wife, Sara Elizabeth, and their four children, Stevens will continue to make his residence at 680 Woodhill Rd. in Mansfield.

Succeeding Stevens as operations manager of the Essex Controls Division plant at Lexington is William A. Killion. A 30r year Essex veteran, Killion has held various executive engineering posts with the company's Controls Division. Prior to his recent appointment he had served as manager of the firm's Logansport, Ind. plant.

Killion and his wife, Althea, will make their home In the Mansfield area. Yet the Communist type terrorist slay-ings occurred as Cesar Montes, chief of the Rebel Armed Forces FAR was reported veering from Castro's export revolution line to Moscow's softer talk politics policy. Havana Radio reported after last year's conference that the Guatemalan OLAS delegation including Montes went from Havana to Moscow for orientation. Outside Communist circles, there is no indication of anti U. S.

sentiment in Guatemala. "We are all equal" was the way a taxi driver summed it up, "Go atemalans, Americans, Mexicans, we are all friends." U. S. government spokesman said, "The tremendous reaction that followed the killing of the Americans attests to the fact that the Guatemalan people were shocked and sad." The military mission has been here since 1956, invited by the Guatemalan government. The functions of the 34 member mission are to extend advisory, training and supply help to the Guatemalan Defense Department.

"There is nothing unusual about the operation," said an embassy spokesman. "There are similar missions in various Latin American countries." So why were Col. John D. Webber and Lt. Cmdr.

Ernesto Munro singled out for death during the height of an urban guerrilla campaign that has followed the flushing out of leftirt guerrillas from Guatemala's mountains? I One informed source suggested FAR may have slain the Americans "to get into the limelight again and put pressure on Castro to extend more help." Another theory, a-vanced was that FAR and other Communist elements wanted a common cause to heal damaging factional splits. Mountain guerrilla activity in Guatemala has been virtually snuffed out by government forces, with the resultant urban terrorism. No figures are available on the number of persons killed, but it is generally estimated that hundreds have died from bullets the past year. First they went to the police juror elected from their district but claim they got no satisfaction. The district attorney was called in and he said he would write a letter telling the widow to take the fence down.

The letter brought no results. Then they swore out the charges and the matter passed to the sheriff's office. Resolutely, the deputies moved to serve warrants but found Mrs. Brock "sick in bed with the flu." VShe is supposed to come up to the office with her attorney when she gets well," a sheriff's office spokesman said this week. In October I sent a $10.95 check for two GT Energy Chambers from a New York City firm.

They haven't arrived yet and I can't get any response out of the company. M. Redwood Rd. A Neither can Hot Line but we did hear from Van Miller, vice president of the National Better1 Business Bureau, Inc. Miller says the volumnous BBB complaints received in the past few months have either been identical to yours or from people who returned the gimmick and were unable to get a refund.

The firm's owners were indicted on 85 counts of mail fraud June 20, 1967 in connection with a previous promotion on the "gas saving device." He suggests you file your complaint, in detail, with the Postal Inspector in Charge, New York, N. Y. You can also call Hot Line and we'll read, you the three-page report. About a month ago I read of a Mohican Trail Camp on State Route 603. Whom do I contact for camping Beam Re-Elected President Of Law Library Association Mansfield Atty.

(AP) Five Cincinnati men alleged to be Black Power advocates have been named in warrants issued in the Tuesday night killing of one Nashville policeman and the wounding of another; Police identified the five as Charles Herron, 30, John W.

Registrar, Mohican Trail Camp, Box 725, Eartha Jolts White House A Write: Mansfield. While they are mum on the shooting accusation, they say the fence, erected earlier this month, is plain enough. Rogers, owner of a gravel pit, says the fence makes his trucks detour to a route that is two miles longer and has turns that make life miserable for his drivers. Mrs. Brocks barbed wire cuts off one route to several other houses.

Mrs. Brock contends her husband built the road and intended it to remain private. The Parish Police Jury, county governing body, has maintained the road, however, and under Louisiana law it now belongs to the public. Red Buildup On DMZ Clouds Hope For Peace Talks (Continued From Page 1) evidently trying to find out if there is any concession to be won in the other's position. The United States has reportedly received word through these channels that North Vietnam would be prepared to start talks in a few days after the bombing was halted.

One of President Johnson's conditions for stopping the bombing in order to get discussions going is that the talks should begin promptly. Another condition, as Johnson put it in his State of the Union message Wednesday night, is that the talks should give reasonable hopes of being productive. To satisfy themselves on this point, U. S. officials are asking Hanoi what issues would be on the agenda.

But the crucial point from the American point of view is military de-escalation by the Communists in response to ending the bombing. And on this point Johnson and his advisors evidently want answers to two questions: Would North Vietnam be prepared to stop sending reinforcements to Communist forces in the South? Would all attacks from North Vietnamese forces in the buffer zone be stopped? This issue, judge by the public positions of the two sides, is deadlocked at present because Hanoi spokesmen have said publicly the United States is responsible for aggression against North Vietnam and has no right to deny military response on their part to, ending that aggression." Doctors 'Firm' Against Hospital At Westinghouse Electric Pete Teofilio, a member of the St. Elizabeth's board and past president of the Mansfield Area Industrial Trades Council, (AFL-CIO), said he will continue to work for pressure against United Appeal "until UCS sees the light." teofilio, a member og IUE Local 711 and a polisher and buffer for Westinghouse, said, "All we want is for UCS to restore our 1969 priority to run a $3.5 million campaign during an eight month to one year period." Teofilio, who has a reputation for being a hard bargainer, said that should UCS revise its stand, "I will work just as hard to get their pledges back." (Continued From Page 1) College of Hospital Administrators and at present regent for that organization in the state of Ohio. in Wooster, Elmer Guenther who represents the seven county planning group, explained that the present role of planning in the administration of federal Hill- Burton hospital funds is in a state of "confusion." "It is in a transition period and the state has established a new planning authority," but its policies and standards have not been made clear, he said. The labor union revolt against United Appeal, spawned by resentment of UCS action on St.

Elizabeth's, has been simmering in local unions for some time. Until yesterday only two smaller IUE unions had pulled out of United Appeal. (Continued From Page 1) As the sultry singer paused for breath, the wife of New Jersey Gov. Richard J. Hughes rose from a table on the other side of the room.

Her face was flushed as she said: "I feel morally obligated. May I speak in defense of the war." The matronly looking woman told Miss Kitt her first husband had been killed in World War II. She said she has eight sons, one of whom has served in the armed forces. "None of the other want to go to Vietnam," she said. 'But all will go.

They and their friends. I will kiss them goodby and I will feel that this our contribution to our country." Then Mrs. Johnson got up from the table, tears welling in her eyes, looked directly at Miss Kitt who was trembling with anger and said in a shaky voice: "Because there is a war on and I pray that there will be a just and honest peace that still does not give us a. free ticket not to try to work for better things such as against crime in the streets, better education and better health for our young people." Fifty white and Negro women had been invited to Thursday's White House lunch eon to discuss President Johnson's proposals to combat crime in the streets. The President dropped in after dessert to speak briefly to the ladies.

As he was leaving, Miss Kitt stood up in front of him and asked: "Mr. President, what do you think about delinquent parents? Those who have to work and are too busy to look after their children?" The President, obviously taken aback, paused and then said day care centers had been established under Social Security legislation. "But what are we going to do?" Miss Kitt persisted. "I think it would be a good idea if you would ask the women and then tell me what you think," Johnson added. He then beat a hasty retreat.

Mrs. Johnson remarked at the close of the luncheon with a little laugh, "I do want to say this has been a lively meeting with lots of ideas." Miss Kitt, who was born in poverty 39 years ago in North, S. and made a for-tune in the movies and broadway shows told newsmen later: "I see nothing wrong with the way I handled myself. I can only hope it will do some good." Meantime, Willis Marcum, president of the Industrial Trades Council, said the council had formed a steering committee to probe further into the issues behind the St. Elizabeth dispute.

He said they had met with several groups, the doctors on Tuesday, and had several more to talk with before issuing a report. The trades council previously took a stand to endorse the hospital project but to support the United Appeal. The action at Empire Reeves brought about by the 12 members of United Steel Workers Local 169 on the 16 member Civic Fund board is expected to spread the boycott. United Rubber Workers Local 17 at Mansfield Tire and Rubber Co. will act on a withdrawal motion at a Sunday meeting.

At Fisher Body, President Robert Hall of United Auto Workers Local 549, said the hospital United Fundjbattle has not been an issue so far..
