Athlete's Heart Transplanted To Carpenter
LONDON The heart of an athlete who ran every
day until the day he died kept up a normal beat yester
day for carpenter Joseph Rizor, the day after a surgical
team transplanted it in him.
Doctors at Stanford Medical Center said, the next
two or three days will be critical for Rizor. His new
heart is that of a man who died of a brain hemorrhage
after keeping fit by running, bowling, swimming and
hiking.
Rizor's heart and blood pressure were reported
normal. But doctors said his ailing lungs must adjust
to a new heart.
In addition, an Arizona accountant is doing fine
after receiving the heart of a young woman in the
world's ninth heart transplant.
The tenth heart transplant was performed yes
terday in London. Doctors at the National Heart Hospi
tal there report the fourth transplant operation within
a week.

King Followers Plan Poor People's March
MARKS, Miss The Poor People's March on Wash
ington, an infant that hopes to grow into a political
giant, wrestled with organizational and recruiting prob
lems yesterday.
"We are setting teams to fan out and tell these peo
what we are trying to do and how they can help," said
the Rev. James Bevel, a bearded Southern Christian
Leadership Conference spokesman.
The march, brainchild of the late Dr. Martin Luther
King, is an attempt to draft the SCLC's technique of
provocative but non-violent "constructive tension" onto
a push for economic change.
From this small beginning, here in this quiet Delta
town, population 2,600, SCLC hopes to develop the cam
paign into a political movement of the poor, black or
white, with the power to prod Congress into action.
"This is no longer a civil rights thing," said Bevel.
"This is economic. We intended to force the power
structure of this country to divert more energy—and by
that I mean money—into getting 40 million Americans
into this nation's economic mainstream.

Wide Split Expected in Texas Voting
DALLAS, Tex. Texans begin deciding today how
the state will vote in the Republican and Democratic
presidential nominating conventions with the wildest
split in the GOP instead of the Demos for a change.
In what for Texas is a big political day, citizens
also will:
Determine whether former Alabama Gov. George
Wallace and his American party get on the state's gen
eral
:
eral election ballot. -
. _
Nominate, send into runoffs or elect candidates for
office from the precincts to the Governor's Mansion and
Congress.
Precinct conventions will follow the closing of the
polls at 8 p.m.•EDT and it is there that the complexion
of presidential nominating delegations is determined.
County and state conventions will be held later for
final selection, but control of the nominating delegation
generally is determined in the precincts.
Democrats are expected to name Gov. John Con
nally as their favorite son. Republicans probably will
name Sen. John Tower of Texas.
But there the unity ends among Republicans. One
group, called "the old guard" in Texas, favors Gov. Ron
ald Reagan of California and after that Richard Nixon.
Civil Liberities.Union Takes Morals Case
WASHINGTON The American Civil Liberties
Union said yesterday it has taken the case of a 22-year
old woman who charges she lost her security clearance
and Army job on the basis of reports that she was
immoral.
"It's an outrageous case," said Lawrence Speiser,
director of the ACLU office here. "This woman was
coerced into resigning. We're in touch with the Army
now about the matter. We'll try to get them to rescind
their actions on this case and give the woman a chance
for reinstatement."
Carolyn Lea Tatnall of Philadelphia said she re
signed April 19 as a photographic technician for the
Army Map Service following a 2 1 / 2 -hour Pentagon inter
rogation about her intimate life and after an Army
security officer told her later that he had seven reports
of what he called her immorality.
The security officer refused to show her the reports
or name the sources, she said, and the next day her boss
told her to resign 'or be fired.
Harold P. Dunning, personnel chief for the Army
Map Service, confirmed there had been a "routine back
ground investigation" of Miss Tatnall but denied she
was told to resign or be fired.
The State
Health Dept. Warns of Dangers of Poisons
PHILADELPHIA Poisons kill—and only the pub
lic can guard themselves against accidents that take
too many lives, particularly children, in Pennsylvania.
Last year there were about 50,000 persons poisoned
in the Keystone State, with 23 deaths.
The Pennsylvania Department of health wages an
unceasing campaign to remind the public of the dangers
of poisons, frequently found in the home and usually
in plain sight and unprotected.
Most poisons have antidotes and doctors, sum
moned promptly, usually can save a life. But there's
no serum or vaccine that protects against substances
swallowed either unwittingly or deliberately. ,
Dr. Thomas W. Georges, Jr., state secretary of
health, says his department never ceases its educational
campaign aimed at telling the public how to protect
themselves against poisons.
The main idea is to keep all dangerous substances,
even medicines believed innocuous, out of a child's
reach. Locking cabinets is an excellent precaution.
"There are also dangerous substances in many
household preparations," said Georges. "These prepara
tions are often found under kitchen sinks, and in broom
closets."

PITTSBURGH A judge postponed indefinitely
yesterday the Army inductions of a professor and a
college student 'who turned in their draft cards to
protest the war in. Vietnam.
The action by Judge Louis Rosenberg of U.S. Dis

WASHINGTON(/P)-.--President
Johnson announced agreement with
North Vietnam yesterday to begin pre
liminary peace talks in Paris May 10 or
shortly thereafter.
Johnson immediately coupled his
announcement in a nationally televised
news conference with a sober warning
against expecting that these first direct
U.S. - North Vietnamese talks will quick
ly end the war.
He said, "We hope this agreement
on initial contact will prove a step for
ward and can represent a mutual and a
serious movement by all parties toward
peace in Southeast Asia."
But the President added: "I must,
however, sound a cautionary note. This
is only the very first step. There are
many, many hazards and difficulties
ahead."
Actually, the preliminary sessions
are expected only to determine whether
there is a mutually acceptable basis for

serious peace negotiations.
First public word of a break in the
month-old stalemate over a site for the
proposed preliminary talks came in a
Hanoi broadcast heard by U.S. monitors
shortly before Johnson's 10 a.m. DT
meeting with newsmen.
It was Johnson's first scheduled,
live-televised news conference here since
Nov. 17 but administration officials
insisted the President had no secret, ad
vance knowledge of the Hanoi decision
on Thursday when he scheduled the con
ference.
The Hanoi statement followed cus
tomary Communist language denouncing
the United States for aggression in Viet
nam, with announcement of agreement
to dispatch a special envoy to Paris.
North Vietnam believes, the broad
cast said, "Paris,, just as Phnom Penh,
Cambodia and Warsaw, Poland, is an ap
propriate venue for the formal and bi
lateral talks" with the United States.

10 May, 1968 or a few days later."
In the maneuver over a site since
the opposing sides first declared their
readiness for direct talks April 3, the
United States had suggested 15 possible
Asian and European capitals while North
Vietnam held to Warsaw and Phnom
Penh.
Johnson had refused to accept the
Communist site choices on grounds that
the meeting place should be in neutral
territory, with communications facili
ties for diplomatic dispatches open for
press coverage and accessible to repre
sentatives of the various governments
with interests in the Vietnam war.
Neither side officially proposed
Paris. But both were careful not to reject
the French capital, either, when French
Foreign Minister Maurice Couve d'Mur
ville suggested its availability April 18.
So Paris was available on the diplo
matic shelf for North Vietnam's decision
Viet Cong Hit
Central Saigon
SAIGON (IF) The Viet Cong packed a
taxi with TNT yesterday and blew it up in
the heart of Saigon a block from the U.S.
Embassy in the boldest terriorist attack on
the capital since the Tet offensive in Feb
ruary.
The blast wrecked a church-sponsored
student center and damaged South Vietna
mese and American television buildings, kill
ing three Vietnamese and wounding 25 Viet
namese and five Americans.
- Most of the wounded were young Viet
namese girls in the two-story student center
of the World University Service.
Police blamed the Viet Cong and said
that a large amount of TNT was in the taxi
that was backed into a narrow driveway be
tween the student center and the main
studio for the South Vietnamese government
broadcasting service.
Broadcast on Schedule
The South Vietnamese station apparently
was a main target and the explosion blew out
windows, shattered partitions and ripped out
wires in the station. The adjacent U.S. Armed
Forces television station sustained smashed
windows and a collapsed ceiling in a studio.
Both stations, not televising at the time
of the blast, began evening television broad
casts on schedule. Radio broadcasts were
momentarily disrupted by the explosion.
Officers at the scene said the five Ameri
cans injured apparently were in the streets
of a busy intersection near the blast scene.
A South Vietnamese policeman said he found
the engine of the blown-up taxi 200 yards
from the site of the explosion.
"I'm not talking about David
takin on Goliath—that's press
agent gimmickry—but he's the
man wh, expresses discontent

Until he left for Rome to

message given to the American ambas
sador at Vientiane, Laos, by the North
Vietnamese embassy there a few hours
before the Hanoi broadcast.
Police were trying to determine how the
terrorists got the taxi, loaded with explosives,
past guards around the television stations.
The explosion caused fresh nervousness
among Saigon's Vietnamese military and
police units, already on 100 per cent alert be

another assault on the capital.

U.S. forces crushed a North Vietnamese
counterattack near Dong Ha Thursday. In
four days of fierce fighting around the Dong
Ha Marine base and near Hue, allied troops
reported 1,303 of the enemy killed.
U.S. and South Vietnamese casualties
totaled 103 men killed and 541 wounded in
the battles.
The other northeast area of hard fight
ing this week is 45 miles to the south, around
Hue. In the latest action, paratroopers of the
82nd Airborne Di7ision reported overrun
ning enemy positions four miles west of Hue
Thursday and killing 46 North Vietnamese.
Air attacks Thursday again concentrated
on the southern panhandle of North Vietnam.
Hanoi's official Vietnam News Agency
said North Vietnamese militia in Quang Binh
Province shot down a U.S. A 6 jet yesterday
morning and that two other A6s were shot
down near Vinh City Thursday.
There was no confirmation in Saigon.
