The New Detroit Committee provided the funds for the production of the shows and the Interf aith Action Council contributed $50,000 plus the work of dozens of staff members. STATION WWJ TV offered to broadcast the shows on prime time evening television when a large audience could be assembled. The first two shows were televised over Channel 4 at 7:30 p.m. on May 20 to May 27.

The first show dealt with the problem of fear and Model Mum, Grid Star Brown Free in Beating posed two alternative courses society could choose: repression or social change toward greater justice. The second show exposed certain common myths about Ta ck people and about society and concluded with a critical analysis of the mass media's handling of the news. -On June 4, James Sehia-onne, manager of WWJ, called the Council to announce that the program would no longer be carried on Monday nights because ii was "not of prime time quality."

She had bruises and contusions on her face, head, legs and shoulder and suffered a shoulder separation. The woman was identified as Eva Marie Bohn-Cain, through a German passport which indicated she had a Negro father and a Caucasian mother.

Brown was charged and released on $12,050 bail. The charge has now been dropped since Miss Bohn-Cain would not name him as her assailant. Friends said Brown and the woman had been 'close companions' for some time. Miss Bohn-Cain had hoped to get in the movies herself. ii miiiwJ" ii in mi ii QUEEN-SIZE TEXAN Pert Virginia Kauss, Miss HemisFair, takes, a look at a new Mustang as she tours the Ford Rouge complex.

Saturday evening, neighbors of Brown called police reporting a fight going on at Brown's apartment. Two sheriff's deputies went to the apartment, but had to call for additional aid after Brown assaulted the officers when they attempted to gain entrance. AFTER BROWN was subdued, officers said they found blood and fragments of hair on a bed, the floor and in the bathroom.

The pitched battle fol lowed a night of rioting' through Left Bank streets after students charged that a demonstrator had been killed by the gendarmes. The Latin Quarter fight followed the classic French pattern with cobblestone barricades in the streets. POLICE modernized the warfare somewhat, however, by using bulldozers to breach the barricades. There was further disturbance when Citroen workers, several thousand strong, marched angrily on the Labor Ministry, protes-' ting strike pickets who were keeping them from their jobs.

Tote Guns, Foil Thugs MIAMI BEACH, Fla; Wealthy socialites, who find that insuring jewelry has become increasingly expensive and in some cases have been cancelled out by insurance firms, are to gun toting. One well-known local socialite, Mrs. Phoebe Morse, said she had been robbed in her own home four times in 15 years.

The insurance company had canceled her policy after the third robbery. NOW MRS. MORSE prac tices marksmanship at least once a week. "I have become such a good shot that I can draw from the hip and be about 80 to 85 percent accu rate in my the widow said. Patting a hand gun, Mrs Morse said "This is a differ ent kind of insurance." The woman has learned to handle 10 or 12 types of guns, both large and small weapons, at a shooting range "And I meet many delightful women out on the range school teachers, professional women and housewives," she said.

"I am a Quaker and was taught that firearms should never be used, but if I shot a robber I would be delighted. I would blast his head wide open." she said. According to David She! don, insurance company ex ecutive, active socialites and theatrical figures are target risks and can only insure through Lloyds of London at approximately twice the standard rate. "Well-known persons who habitually wear expensive jewelry are rather like riot areas and no one wants to write insurance on a riot area," he said. In addition' to robberies, Miami is noted for its hurricanes.

After the last serious hurricane hit Miami Beach, a numer of companies left the area and refused to write policies, said Sheldon. Defections Of Nuns Increase NEW YORK Some 1,827 of the 175,000 nuns in the United States left their religious orders in 1966, according to a recent survey. The survey was conducted by a. research committee of the Conference of Major Religious Superiors of Women's Institutes. The survey also revealed that five limes as many nuns had left their communities as had in 1950.

Of the total, over half left before making their final vows. The committee cited possible reasons for the growing number of departures. "A decided increase in the use of psychological testing, psychiatric interviews, ability testing, and vocational interest testing, along with more varied interviewing techniques." Assassin Acts Eyed Continued from Page One making housing and travel arrangements. If he was backed by an international racist conspiracy, the backing was at least for the most part financial assistance, at least in the later periods of the flight. But there is suspicion that confederates operated with the slayer in the early stages, arranging for planned confusion to cover the getaway and to set him on the start of the escape trail.

fered 5 p.m. Saturday or 3:30 p.m. Sunday as alternative times. Further meetings were held with WWJ-TV in an attempt to get them to reverse their decision, but the management was adamant. The series has been switched to Channel 56, although the discussion groups have had to make some changes since only about 68 per cent of the sets in metropolitan Detroit are equipped to receive this channel.

METHODIST BISHOP Dwight E. Loder, chairman of the Southwestern Com munity TV Forum, said he was disappointed over the cancellation by WWJ-TV of the remaining programs and also over the manner in which it had done the can celling. "We simply received a phone call announcing that the shows were no longer to be carried on Monday eve nings because, it was said they were not of prime time quality." "Further." the Bishop added, "the decision was said to be irrevocable and the management would not discuss the reason for their action with us." The Bishop said that the group had decided not to accept the alternative times offered by the station because "we simply do not accept WWJ's unilateral decision that the shows are of inferior quality and therefore we choose not to accede to a second rate label by accepting a second rate program time." The third in the series was televised over Channel 56 Monday evening. The last two shows will be seen at 7:30 p.m. June 17 and 24 over Channel 56.

Rusk Raps Curb on Exports WASHINGTON" Secre tary of State Dean Rusk told the House Ways and Means Committee that the imposition of quotas on imports would result in "incalculable costs to our foreign relations" and bring economic harm to the U.S. and other nations. Rusk's statement was a part of the Administration's continuing drive against trade protection measures pending in the Congress. Other Administration ex pressions came from Orville Freeman, Secretary of Agri culture, who said a protectionist policy would bring the possibility of a "disastrous decline" in the export of U.S. farm products.

BETTY FURNESS, the President's assistant for con sumer affai, added the complaint that import quotas would result in less choice and higher prices for U.S. consumers. In a letter, Treasury Sec retary Henry H. Fowler warned that it may be difficult to bring changes in European "border tax" systems which some representatives believe are hampering U.S. export.

But he said other nations are willing to work with the U.S. toward work ing out trade problems. The U.S., he said, will "act forcefully" to eliminate obstacles to its foreign trade. Sinai Center Will Open The Paul and Helen Zuck-erman Auditorium and Conference Center will be formally dedicated on Sunday when Sinai Hospital of Detroit President, Nate S.

the next confrontation with Hanoi's representatives at the so-called peace talks here. He spoke with President Johnson during his three-day absence to attend the funeral of Senator Robert F. Kennedy but told newsmen here that he had nothing new to report, ho favorable indications that the talks will bring any new accord. But observers suggested that a hairline crack was beginning to be seen in Hanoi's hitherto impervious obstinancy. Hints are coming from unofficial communist sources, 'they said, that North, Vietnam is seeking for a face-saving way of indicating that if the United States will halt bombing without demanding reciprocal action by Hanoi that Hanoi would take that recinrocal action.

J. VOWVJ. Dies at 75 SAVANNAH, Mo. Wla-ctek C. Zbyszko, world champion wrestler in the 1920's, died at his farm here at the age of 75.

The 6 foot, 220 pound wrestler was a godson of Ig-nace Paderewski, the pianist. Zbyszko and his brother Stanislaus, wrestled in Europe and North and South America against such opponents as Ed Lewis, Joe Steelier, Ernest Eigfried and Ivan Linow. THE WRESTLER sboke 13 languages and was a talented pianist. He served as an interpreter in the Pacific area during World War II. While touring Spain on a wrestling tour in 1936, Zbyszko was reported killed in the Spanish Civil War.

Later he turned up alive and well. Twice-divorced, he is survived by. his third wife, Maria Orzelska, whom he married in 1958. Trio Ransack Home, Steal Car Joseph C.

Zbyszko NEW YORK With two Kennedy assassination victims buried on a hillside at Arlington, it is inevitable that the political spotlight should now turn on the youngest and last in the Kennedy line of succession Senator Edward M. (Ted) Kennedy, of Massachusetts. Already there is some movement toward boosting Ted for the Democratic presidential nomination at Chicago. But lime, is short and the delegate blocs have been shaping up behind others, notably Vice President Hubert Humphrey.

Most political thinkers seem to be convinced that th3 nominations, of both parties are all buttoned up and that the Nov. 5 battle will be between Humphrey and Richard M. Nixon. So the suggestion that Ted Kennedy's name be entered for the Democratic nomination would appear to be a desperation move by supporters of Robert F. Kennedy whose hopes and expectations were shattered by an assassin's bullet.

BUT THE move also signifies the depth of the feeling among the many followers of the Kennedy fortunes in two presidential campaigns. It also may presage a bright political future for the third in the Kennedy line of succession, which some have labeled the Kennedy "dynasty." Th'e prospect was voiced by Arthur M. Sclesinger a close adviser of Robert Kennedy in a week-end appearance on Face the Nation, a CBS network television program. SCHLESINGER declared that Edward Kennedy be an important factor in the country for years to come." But Schlesinger said, he had not given much thought concerning whom he might support for the presidency in the current campaign. He even indicated that he might not join those who now favor the candidacy of Edward Kennedy.

"I have such a feeling of outrage and despair." he added, "that I do not see myself playing a role in politics Others doubtless experienced a similar feeling after the shooting of Robert Kennedy. And they may also have some convictions that Ted Kennedy could provide a rallying point for a large segment of the Democratic Party in the future. Schlesinger noted that Ted Kennedy's eulogy of his brother at St. Patrick's Cathedral showed "a very clear understanding" of the the late President John F. Kennedy.

INDEED it would be strange, in view of the closeness of the Kennedy clan, if he didn't. Ted Kennedy has played a quiet but active role in national politics while his brothers occupied top spots in party affairs. But he nevertheless has been active and influential and now is considered one of the leading- legislator He is credited with being a major factor on important pieces of legislation, including stiffer gun control laws and revision of the draft. Ted Kennedy has also followed Robert in the establishment of a competent staff, which could be important in his development as a top figure in his party's future. In the circumstances of the moment, however, Ted Kennedy himself has refrained from expressing himself.

Some have suggested that he may even withdraw from politics altogether, which would not be surprising in view of the family's suffering through two assassinations. STILL the Kennedy, vitality and the Kennedy place in history would seem to dictate otherwise, despite the hazards. About the only certainty at this time is that, if Ted Kennedy elects to carry on in the Kennedy tradition, he will have the support and encouragement of a considerable mass of voters who believe in what all three Kennedy brothers have sought to accomplish. High School Graduates Total 9,996 A record breaking 9,996 seniors will receive their diplomas from 25 Detroit Public High Schools during the week of June 17. Class sizes range from 825 graduates at Cass Technical High School to 22 Washington Trade School.
