(JP) — A Ku Klux Klan “titan” told a federal court jury Thursday that the Klan set out to “eliminate” civil Mustek Joins A&M Staff James 0. Musick, formerly gen eral manager of the Texas Safety Association in Austin, has joined the Supervisory Development Di vision staff of Texas A&M Uni- verstiy’s Engineering Extension Service. W. B. Mansfield, chief instruc tor of the Supervisory Develop ment Division, said Musick gained invaluable experience in planning and conducting safety and train ing activities for industrial groups during 18 years with the TSA. Prior to joining the Texas Safe ty Association, Musick worked 12 years for the Texas Department of Public Safety, during which time he rose from patrolman to chief of the education section. Musick studied management at Stephen F. Austin State College and taught sveral years in rural schools of East Texas before going into law enforcement. He is a member of the National Safe ty Council and numerous regional and state safety organizations. rights worker Michael Schwern- er by murer. The Rev. Delmar Dennis, 27, of Meridian, was the second wit ness to take the stand in the crowded courtroom to testify that Schwerner had been a mark ed man for several days before he was killed. Schwerner, 24, a Brooklyn so cial worker before coming to Meridian, was killed June 21, 1964. Two men who accompanied him on his last trip Andrew Good man, 20, of New York, and James Chaney, 22, of Meridian — also were slain. THE 18 men on trial are charg ed with conspiracy to violate the civil rights of the three who were slain. That’s the stiffest federal charge applicable in the case. No state charges was filed. Maximum punishment possi ble under the old Reconstruction era law is 10 years and $5,000 fine. The Rev. Mr. Dennis who said he preached in both Baptist and Methodist churches in this area, came under sharp crossexamina tion after his testimony, most of which corrobrated earlier testi- money by Meridian Police Sgt. C. W. Miller, 43, an ex-Klansman. BOTH MILLER and the minis ter said they were members of the White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan Meridian unit, and were told that a top-level decision to eliminate “Goatee,” as Schwerner was known, had been made-but that another unit would handle the job. Unlike Miller, who said he had been banished from the Klan, the Rev. Mr. Dennis testified he remained a member of the ter- rosist organization. The minister said he became chaplian of the Meridian Klav- ern, then was promoted to prov ince titan-an administrative of ficer and assistant to the imperial wizard, in charge of six counties.

Mr. Dennis said, and on June 16 he attended a meeting in that area at which six of the 18 defendants were present. He identified them as Bernard Akin, Alton Wayne Roberts, Frank J. Herndon, Billy Wayne Pesey, Edger Ray Killen, and E. G. “Hep” Barnette, the sheriff-elect of Neshoba County. Asked if the present sheriff, Lawrence Rainey, was a Klan member, the Rev. Dennis replied: “I know him to' be a member.” He added that he had discussed Klan business with Sheriff Rain ey, who also is a defendant. THE REV. Mr. Dennis testified he joined the Klan in March. 1964. Afterward, he said, he began making reports to the FBI and had been paid about $5,000 a year for the past three years. The dozen defense lawyers made frequent objections during the minister’s testimoney. U.S. District Court Judge Harold Cox overruled them, He also rejected numerous mistrial motions. During the cross-examination, defense lawyer Laurel Weir drew a sharp rebuke and warning form the judge for asking the minister: “Instead of 30 pieces of silver you got $15,00 did you not?” The minister said he did not feel bound by his oath to the Klan and agreed he had planned to write “an expose of the Klan.” MmmMmmzmssEMmmm- EVACUATING CON THIEN WOUNDED BY HELICOPTER Marine holds plasma bottle aloft, others scramble toward helicopter with wounded marine on stretcher at Con Thien just south of demilitarized zone in South Vietnam.

(AP Wirephoto) Problem-Solving Engineers Needed, Executive Says Universities need to produce more problem - solving type en gineers and fewer research-orient ed graduate students interested only in the scientific aspects of engineering. Chalmer G. Kirkbride’s featur ed suggestion in a Texas A&B Engineering Lecture cited a trend brought on by extensive federal support for education. “Professors have to ‘publish or perish’ if they and their depart ments wish to be favored with federal grants,” the Sun Oil Co. executive said. The effect tends to relegate teaching excellence secondary to researchability. The executive vice president for Suns research and engineering compared engineering and medi cine, stating a need for engineers with broad doctoral training in cluding practical applications as well as research. “The M.D. student is not re quired to complete a research pro ject that ‘contributes significantly to a field of knowledge.’ He is drilled in his profession’s basic sciences and is then required to serve an internship of medical practice under the watchful eyes of practicing doctors of medicine,” Kirkbride pointed out. “Why not also doctors of engi neering trained broadly in engi neering design and systems appli cations?” he asked. Courses structured to train stu dents in inductive thinking are a clear need, Kirkbride contended. He told a story of a graduate class professor who gave an assi gnment that did not identify nor define the specific problem. “The ‘A’ students were baffled. The ‘B’ students immediately went about clearly defining the pro blem. Once the ‘B’ students had it defined, the ‘A’ students pounc ed on it and quickly produced a solution,” he recalled. Kirkbride noted others are con cerned that U.S. engineering schools are turing out nothing but expert analysts instead of broad ly trained engineers who have the capacity to recognize and define problems. He said attention should be FRESHMAN PICTURE SCHEDULE FOR 1968 AGGIELAND CORPS FRESHMEN: Corps freshmen will have their Yearbook Portrait Schedule: portraits made for the Aggie land ’68 according to this sched ule at University Studio at North Gate in class “A” winter uniforms.

A common engineering curricu lum stressing fundamentals of en gineering, mathematics and the sciences “is a step in the right direction.” The former A&M chemical en gineering professor said gradu ates are required who are well grounded in a combination of dis ciplines needed to solve problems. “Specialization should be post poned to either graduate level university programs or industry- sponsored on-the-job training,” he claimed. “Kirkbride noted that extensive, difficult courses of study must compete with other disciplines re quiring fewer hours and less de votion but offering equal job op portunities and salary. He suggested the need of joint ly developed continuing education programs and an exchange of personnel between industry and university. “Cooperative efforts seem neces sary to handle the eductional problem produced by the advanc ed and complicated state of our technology, particularly in view of the rate of progress we expect in the future,” Kirkbride conclud ed.
