All eight members of the anti-Communist alliance fell into line behind the United States Students Fined At Lauderdale FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (/P)—Thousands of high-spirit ed college students, here on Easter vacations, were warned yesterday the National Guard wilt be called if they get out of hand again. Mayer Edward Johns had an nounced plans to ask the City Commission to close down sea side bars until the youngsters go home but said later he'll wait and see how they behave from now on. He also will defer action on his proposed curfew for the col lege students. There were rumors that stu dents will try to invade beaches fron which they have been ban ned and police were alerted for the possibility. Some 3,500 youths rioted Sun day night when police barred them from their favorite beach, an unlighted stretch of sand north of the city. About 50 were arrested and many were fined yesterday on • charges ranging from disorderly conduct to pub lic intoxication. Fines ranged from $5 to $25. Those cited included one girl. a University of Miami student charged with "open profarti+y." The student invasion includes both sexes. The dark beach was a favorite spot for romancing. Mayor Johns announced guard units will be requested if Fort Lauderdale police lose control of any future disturbances. Officers from six nearby cities were called in as reinforcements Sunday night as students hurled rocks, beer cans and bottles at patrolmen. The beaches were peaceful yes terday but crowded as never be fore.

Wearing blue jeans and a striped sports shirt, Roy Hark ness, 19, played the Son of God. "The idea of Christ in blue jeans thrilled many viewers," said a spokesman for the 'lnde pendent Television Authority. "Of course, there were others who complained." Earlier, 17 members of the House of Commons offered a mo tion to protest in Parliament. But the play, "A Man Dies." went on.

SEATO was described as ready to consider dispatching soldiers and weapons to Laos if the So viets fail to choose a peaceful course in the neighboring king dom before the conference ends here Thursday. Informed sources said U.S. Secretary of State Dean Rusk came to the conference to sell this policy. The speeches of his fellow-foreign ministers on the first conference day. indicated he had just about succeeded. Rusk told the council "peace is possible only through restraining those who break it in contempt of law. "Speaking for my country," he continued, "I wish to assure the members of this organiza lion and the peoples, of South east Asia, that-the United States will live up to those responsi bilities." Many in the audience felt that an even tougher view of SEATO objectives was outlined by Brit ! ish Foreign Secretary Lord Home whose country has been taking the lead in pressing Moscow for a cease-fire and negotiations on Laos. The British foreign secretary said SEATO so far had acted with restraint. "Hecause civilized countries feel obliged to try to find a poli tical and peaceful solution, I must give a warning that the Com munists would be extremely fool ish to presume too much on this restraint."

Bernard Finch last night was convicted of first degree murder in the bullet-in-the-back slaying of his socialite wife. His former mistress, Carole Tregoff, was con victed of second degree murder. The penalty for first degree murder is death or life imprison ment; for second degree, auto matic five years to life. Miss Tregoff, her long red hair streaming loosely over her should er, broke into tears at the verdict. The ending came with dramatic swiftness after more than 21 hours of deliberation. The jury, composed of 10 men and two women, took the case March 22. 1 Finch, .43, one-time wealthy physician in suburban Vio.st Co vina, admitted holding the gun, which fired 'the fatal bullet on the lawn outside his fashionable', home. But he said it was an ac cident while he tried to wrest the weapon away and throw it out of his frantic wife's reach. The prosecution charged that Finch and his one-time employee, coolly planned . the slaying after a hired killer failed to do the job. COLLEGIAN CLASSIFIEDS BUY, SELL, TRADE.

Bell said yesterday. Bell told the Senate-House Economic Committee that the economy should start moving upward "in the April-June quarter, and recovery should be under way at a good rate by sum-I mer. However, Bell said the upturn is not expected to be anywhere near as rapid as the administra tion would want. For example, he said that while it appears un employment has reached its peak and will, soon turn downward, the jobless rate still will exceed six per cent at the end of the year. This is a far from satis fa c t ory figure, he said Bell, who de fended President Kennedy's sh a r ply increased budget estimates, testified that production and personal income figures seem likely , to start ad vancing soon. Asked about chances of an in come tax cut to stimulate the re covery, Bell said if Kennedy finds in mid-April that the economy is not responding satisfactorily "I assume he will consider - very se- •Last Times Tonite• "Thr Sirs of Rose Bernd" 9 11 4 1) 3 1 F P l i t°W 6 1 4 1151)4) A MOM TUESDAY.

"Meeting our national needs re sponsibility in the years ahead," he said, "may well mean in creased rather than reduced fed eral spending, until and unless we can arrive at a satisfactory agreement for the reduction of world armaments." Bell asserted it would be a se rious error of public policy as well as false economy to reject Kennedy's protodals for expand ed efforts and outlays in science, education, health and service. "This nation can afford higher expenditures, public or private, up to the limit of its capacity to produce a limit it has not ap proached for several years," he said.
