A married father of four daughters with over 10 years of military service, CPT Garcia was a 1954 graduate of Texas A&M University. Heriberto is buried at Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery. He is remembered on the Wall at Panel 1E, line 71.
One American and two Vietnamese were killed last night, possibly by mortar fire from their own troops, it was announced today. One other American and six Vietnamese were wounded in the incident. The dead American was an officer and the wounded American an enlisted man. A United States military spokesman said confused reports from the area, 17 miles west of Saigon, indicated that the mortar shell that hit the victims may have been a defective “short round” fired by Vietnamese Government forces. The two Americans were accompanying a 100‐man Vietnamese patrol near the Communist‐dominated Plain of Reeds. When they encountered Việt Cộng gunfire, they called for supporting mortar fire from their rear.
Communist guerrillas shot down a United States Army helicopter yesterday. The copter was participating in the search for an American Air Force craft missing since Friday with its American pilot and Vietnamese observer. All four crewmen escaped unhurt after the helicopter went down about 20 miles east of Saigon.
A demonstration in Saigon today demanding the resignation of South Vietnam’s new civilian Government collapsed today in the face of a show of force by the military and the police.
Neutral Cambodia has become a showcase for Peking‐style coexistence. In asserting its paramountcy in Southeast Asia, Communist China can point to this kingdom as an example of how its regime can live in peace with all who would oust United States influence from their premises. One year ago a United States diplomatic, economic and military mission of nearly 300 people was assigned to this country. Today the shell of the United States Information Service library, which was wrecked by demonstrators, deserted military quarters and unfinished economic‐aid projects testify to Prince Norodom Sihanouk’s abrupt rejection of the nation that Cambodia once regarded as one of her best friends.
There is no non‐Communist statesman more articulate and vehement than Prince Sihanouk. the chief of state, in his denunciations of the United States as an imperialist aggressive nation. He blames the United States in the first instance for repeated clashes on the border with South Vietnam. Increasingly militant, Prince Sihanouk has warned that another serious border incursion by South Vietnamese forces would lead to Cambodian tary retaliation, expulsion of the remnant United States Embassy staff and the recognition of Communist North Vietnam and the South Vietnamese Liberation Front, which is the political organization of the Communist guerrillas. The Prince insists that he will undertake reprisals against South Vietnam, disregarding the great numerical superiority of Saigon’s forces, which have United States advisers. A major eruption of fighting on the major eruption of fighting on the frontier would risk an involvement of both the United States and Communist China.
Border incidents have stemmed from the operations of South Vietnamese units against the Việt Cộng insurgents, who take advantage of the inadequately marked, jungle‐covered frontier area in carrying out their hitand‐run raids. Experienced observers here believe that the Cambodian Government, if goaded by further South Vietnamese bombing raids on its border villages or other incursions, might turn back and permit a broad use of Cambodian territory by the Việt Cộng guerrillas. There is no evidence here that this is being done now.
The visit of Premier Chou En‐lai of Communist China moved into a new phase today, with private discussions instead of ceremonial public appearances. By last night the visit had fulfilled its first purpose. Premier Chou and the new Soviet leaders stood shoulder to shoulder atop the black‐and‐red tomb of Lenin, reviewed the greatest display of Soviet military might in several years and then clinked glasses at a glittering Kremlin reception; they gave a dramatic show of Communist unity. The Chinese Government underlined the lesson in a telegram to the Soviet party leader, Leonid I. Brezhnev, saying that the United States should “shudder” at the of such unity. But Western experts on Communism believe the unity is not much greater than a few days ago.
What has been achieved, according to these specialists, is the ceasing of public polemics and the creation of conditions for serious discussion by the removal of Nikita S. Khrushchev. For 18 months the two groups have been unable to discuss their differences rationally. The talks are thought to be difficult. Negotiation in some form is expected to go on for many months. One of the first issues that has been tackled by Premier Chou and his Soviet hosts is believed to be the Soviet proposal for a world conference of Communist parties.
Mr. Brezhnev said in a policy statement Friday that the new leadership regarded such a conference as an “urgent necessity.” He called it the only truly “Leninist” method to solve differences and arrive at a common view. The Chinese Communists were bitterly opposed to such a conference when it was proposed by Premier Khrushchev. Mr. Brezhnev’s emphatic statement therefore was a surprise to many.
There was no doubt in the mind of Chen Li‐hsao. Nikita S. Khrushchev was a bad man. A pretty little girl, Li‐hsao is 11 years old. A visitor touring Shanghai recently met her on a Sunday afternoon at the Children’s Palace—a spacious mansion that was once the home of a British tycoon and is now a center where children come to sing, dance, work handicraft and learn about science. It is a showplace for foreigners.
Gao Ching, the secretary of the palace, was present during the tour. In a corridor there was a poster reading, “Don’t Allow the United States Imperialists to Invade Vietnam!” She was asked whether it was healthy to indoctrinate children with such propaganda. Her answer was, “We teach the children to hate the United States imperialists, but to love the United States people.” Asked about the Soviet Union, she replied, “The Soviet people are our friends, but the modern revisionists are our enemies.” All the time, Li‐hsao sat still, with a shy and serious expression. Through an interpreter, she was asked what she knew about, the modern revisionists.
At first, she hesitated. Then, after some encouragement from the interpreter and Mrs. Gao, she gave the answer: “The modern revisionists are in league with the imperialists against Marxism‐Leninism. They are entirely against the revolution.” Asked who the modern revisionists were, she replied: “Khrushchev, who is the leader of the Soviet Union. They are against the will of the people, so they are doomed to failure.” How did she know this? “The teachers tell me about world affairs. Also I know it from the children’s newspapers.” The indoctrination of children is on an awesome scale in China. It starts in kindergartens, where 3‐year‐olds perform such ditties as “Sailing to [liberate] Taiwan.” It continues through primary and middle schools and university, where students are required to digest the writings of Mao Tse‐tung.

Communist China charged that a United States military plane twice intruded into its territorial airspace today. It issued its 341st “serious warning” to the United States against alleged intrusions.
The Roman Catholic Church’s Ecumenical Council Vatican II will enter the final two weeks of its third session tomorrow faced with a procedural pile‐up. In eight weeks of searching debate on a score of topics, the more than 2,500 prelates have paved the way for passage of at most four major constitutions, or decrees, authoritatively defining the church’s attitude on central questions. But at this time only two are actually ready, or nearly ready, for final approval. One is the long, central schema, or draft, called “De Ecclesia” (“Of the Church”), a searching reassessment of the church’s total meaning, including an important upgrading of the “collegial” authority of the bishops under the Pope. The other is “De Ecumenismo,” in which the Roman Church declares its desires and conditions for eventual Christian unity.
The opening ceremony of the 2nd Summer Paralympics (also known as the 13th International Stoke Mandeville Games) was held in Tokyo, with 5,000 spectators and 369 athletes from 22 nations. Japan’s Crown Prince Akihito declared the games open.
President Abdullah al‐Salal of Yemen declared today that a cease‐fire between the republican Government and royalist counterrevolutionares went into effect this afternoon, 11 hours ahead of time. The Yemeni President, who seize power in a coup d’etat in September, 1962, thanked President Gamal Abdel Nasser of the United Arab Republic and King Faisal of Saudi Arabia for their “brotherly intervention” in helping to arrange the ceasefire, the agency said. President Nasser had thrown his weight behind the republican regime, and Saudi Arabia had backedthe efforts of the deposed Imam Mohamad al‐Badr to regain the throne. The ceasefire went into effect at 1:00 between the royalist and the republican factions in the North Yemen Civil War but would last for less than a month.
Habib Bourguiba was re-elected as President of Tunisia without opposition, in that the Socialist Destourian Party was the only legal political party in nation.
Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri quieted the controversy over India’s nuclear policy today by declaring that “talk of making bombs has no place in the deliberations of the Congress party, with pictures of Gandhi and Nehru, apostles of peace, looking down on us.” Despite Communist China’s explosion of an atomic bomb last month, Mr. Shastri restated the government’s policy of using atomic energy for peaceful purposes only. He spoke here at a meeting of the 400‐member National Committee of the governing Congress party. The committee’s foreign‐policy discussions have centered on whether India should develop nuclear weapons in response to the Chinese explosion. India and China have become bitter antagonists as a result of China’s incursion into northern India two years ago over boundary claims.
Consecration of the Sri Sithi Vinayagar Temple, took place in Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia.
Seven Sudanese Army officers, including a former Labor Commissioner, Lieutenant Colonel Mohamed Abdehalim, have been arrested, it was announced tonight. Colonel Abdehalim is one of the army’s Egyptian‐trained officers. The seven arrested officers were taken to army headquarters for interrogation. They were believed to be suspected of pro‐Egyptian sympathies. The arrests set off rumors of an attempted coup by the army, and there were demonstrations in Khartoum. The rumors were later denied by army sources. A 10‐day crisis in the Sudan ended October 30 with the formation of a coalition government. replacing the military leadership headed by General Ibrahim Abboud.
Belgian helicopter crews continued a search today for 29 German Roman Catholic missionaries kidnapped by Communist‐backed rebels in the northwest Congo. The missionaries include Martin Bormann Jr., son of Hitler’s former deputy. A. West German diplomat in Leopoldville said there was still “reasonable hope” that the missionaries would be rescued. White mercenary soldiers who captured the northwestern town of Ikela reported they had found no trace of the missionaries and a number of Belgian plantation workers who were also kidnapped.
Villagers questioned by the advancing government troops said they believed the rebels had originally planned to kill the missionaries. Ikela, an important road junction, lies less than 200 air miles south of Stanleyville, capital of what the rebels call the Congolese People’s Republic. The helicopters have been searching the region around Ikela for several days. The rebels were believed to be acting on orders from Stanleyville.
A leading African delegate has appealed to President Johnson, Premier Aleksei N. Kosygin of the Soviet Union, Prime Minister Harold Wilson of Britain and President de Gaulle of France to help solve the United Nations’ financial crisis. Chief S. O. Adebo of Nigeria, in letters to the four leaders, urged them to promote an atmosphere in which the United Nations could solve the dispute over financing past and future peace‐keeping operations. Chief Adebo said he was making his appeal on his own initiative and as head of a 21nation working group that has been trying to ease the financial problem, rather than as the Nigerian representative. A “sword of Damocles” hangs over the 1964–65 session of the General Assembly, Chief Adebo said. He referred to the dispute in which the United States is insisting that countries delinquent in meeting their assessments lose their votes in the Assembly.
A survey of some hard‐fought House and Senate races indicates that the Black vote emerged Tuesday as a potent force in certain Southern and Border states although Senator Barry Goldwater carried five states of the Old Confederacy. Moreover, when the results are matched with those in a number of contests in the North, the survey shows that the same conditions can bring similar results regardless of geography. The contests studied produced Democratic victories. The survey indicates that a massive Black vote was the decisive or an importan element in all of them.
In Georgia’s Fifth Congressional District in Atlanta, Charles L. Weltner, the Democratic incumbent, had been seriously challenged in the primaries by a relatively unknown candidate who received about 23,000 votes. It was thought that Mr. Weltner was in serious trouble and might go down to defeat if Senator Goldwater carried Georgia. Mr. Goldwater did carry the state, but Representative Weltner defeated his Republican rival, L. J. O’Callaghan, by about 10,000 votes. It is estimated that 99 percent of the Black vote, which totaled more than 31,000, went to Mr. Weltner. In the same district two years ago, the Republican candidate received one‐third of the Black vote.
Mr. Weltner went down the line for the Johnson‐Humphrey program, including civil rights. The results in Georgia’s Fourth Congressional District — some suburbs of Atlanta and a small area of the city proper — could not be analyzed so clearly, but political observers in Atlanta concur that the total Black vote was greater than the margin by which James A. Mackay, the Democratic candidate, defeated Roscoe Pickett, Republican. Mr. Mackay’s unofficial tally was 62,464 against 47,175 for Mr. Pickett. A selected precinct indicated that more than 99 percent of the Black voters chose Mr. Mackay.
Acting Attorney General Nicholas de B. Katzenbach indicated today that Mississippi residents’ refusal to testify was preventing the arrests of the killers of three young civil rights workers. However, Mr. Katzenbach said: “I believe that case is going to be solved. It may take a while to do it. I believe eventually we will get some evidence and some people will talk.” He was referring to the slaying of Andrew Goodman, 20 years old, of New York, Michael Schwerner, 24, of Brooklyn, New York, and James Chaney, 21, of Meridan, Mississippi. Their bodies were found August 5 near Philadelphia, Mississippi. They were last seen alive in Philadelphia June 21 while conducting a drive to increase Black voter registration.
In an interview by Radio Press International, Mr. Katzenbach said: “I think when you’ve done an extensive investigation of this kind, you are inclined to have some evidence and some information that would point toward some individual. I think it’s a problem in that case, as it is in other cases, to get people to come forward and testify and particularly in areas where even what has been done is strongly disapproved of; nonetheless there’s high emotional feelings. I should think the election results indicate this in the State of Mississippi with respect to racial matters.”
The New York State Commission for Human Rights announced yesterday that it had found the owners of a Freeport, Long Island, New York, tenement house guilty of violating the state’s equal opportunity law by refusing to rent or lease an apartment to a Black. The decision of the three‐man commission followed a series of public hearings on a complaint by Mrs. Catherine Crum, of 72 Buffalo Avenue, Freeport, that John, James and Salvatore Randazzo and their sister, Mrs. Fanny Petti, had refused to rent or lease her an apartment in the seven‐family house they own at 203 East Merrick Road. The commission will later issue a series of directives to the Randazzos to rectify their alleged infringements of the law. The directives can be enforced by a court order, a commission spokesman said.
Governor George Romney of Michigan, discussing future unity in the Republican party, criticized Richard M. Nixon today for the latter’s post‐election position on Governor Rockefeller of New York. “When you’re trying to unify something,” Mr. Romney said, “you don’t begin to say things that will create greater feeling and division. You undertake to include those who are in a position to make a contribution.” He spoke an interview on radio station WJR. Mr. Nixon said in New York last week that Mr. Rockefeller was a“divider” of the party because of what he called the New Yorker’s failure to give full support to Senator Barry Goldwater, the Republican Presidential nominee.
President and Mrs. Johnson helped to lay a stone from a fourth‐century monastery in Cyprus in a new Episcopal church. The Johnsons, who are currently staying at their LBJ Ranch nearby, have often attended services in the tiny, log-constructed St. Barnabas Episcopal Church here. The ceremony today also involved the laying of a cornerstone for a new, larger church adjacent to the old one. The stone from the Cypriot monastery of St. Barnabas was placed into the stone wall of the nave of the still‐unfinished church. The stone was a gift from the president of Cyprus, Archbishop Makarios, to Mrs. Johnson when she accompanied her husband, then Vice President, on an official visit to the island in 1962. St. Barnabas was a wealthy Cypriot who went to the Holy Land and became a follower of Jesus Christ. He returned to spread the Gospel and died a martyr’s death.
The President did not speak at the ceremony, but Mrs. Johnson, dressed in a small fur hat and a red wool suit, delivered a short speech. In the midst of its, the President left his seat and stooped before her to adjust a microphone that was too high for her. “Several years ago,” she said, “when we were on the island of Cyprus, I was awed with the knowledge that those ageless hills and trails had been trod by the Disciples 2,000 years ago — fresh from the Holy Land with an exciting new message.”
“I was deeply moved.” she continued, “when the head of the Greek Orthodox Church, knowing of my interest in this tiny pioneer church, presented me with a stone from the monastery built centuries ago on that island. It is with great pleasure that I have brought it home to the country of Texas to be placed in the namesake church. I present it with the hope that the story of Galilee will never lack for bearers of the Word — such as St. Barnabas of Cyprus — and no distance will be too remote.”
Vice President‐elect Hubert H. Humphrey took it easy today while other members of his party tried their hand at deep‐sea fishing in the Caribbean. Mr. Humphrey arrived here Friday for a two‐week vacation to unwind from the Presidential campaign. He was accompanied by his family, aides. guests and Secret Service men. The Humphreys are staying at Caneel Bay Plantation on St. John, the smallest of the United Statesowned Virgin Islands. The tourist area was developed by Laurance Rockefeller brother of Governor Rockefeller. Mr. Humphrey and his party are staying at Laurance Rockefeller’s secluded beachfront cottage. A few members of the party, including William Connell, administrative assistant, and some of the younger vacationists, went fishing this morning. Mr. Humphrey did not go along although he was expected to go out later in the week.
Newsweek magazine says this week that the lawsuit that set off the Robert G. Baker investigation in the Senate was settled out of court a month ago, with the proviso that it remain secret until after the election. The weekly magazine, in its issue of November 16, says the suit, for $300,000, was settled for $30,000. The suit was brought by Ralph Hill, the head of the Capitol Vending Company, who alleged that Mr. Baker and his Serv‐U Corporation had caused the cancellation of Capitol’s contract with an electronicsconcern in Virginia. Serv‐U also is a vending machine company. In Washington, Mr. Baker was quoted by United Press International as saying the Newsweek report was “absolutely not true.” He said he had “never heard of it.” Edward Bennett Williams, Mr. Baker’s attorney, said in the capital: “I haven’t read the report and I have no comment on the case.”
The Davey Crockett, the Army’s small mortarlike nuclear weapon that figured in the election campaign debate, may be withdrawn soon from troops in Germany. Many Army combat leaders consider the Davey Crockett not as accurate as they would wish. Also, although it ostensibly fires either a nuclear or conventional warhead, the Davey is thought of here solely as a nuclear weapon. For both conventional and nuclear fighting, Army officers prefer the 155‐mm. howitzer, a self‐propelled weapon. A nuclear round is believed in the final stage of development for it, if not already completed.
The Davey Crockett is carried in a truck or can be mounted on a Jeep, but in most cases is set up on the ground. The 155‐mm. howitzer rides its own tracked wheels and can be driven into combat and fired without special preparation. Army experts here said that the howitzer is more accurate than the Davey Crockett and, consequently, presents less of a danger to the frontline troops in whose support it would be used. The howitzer is considered one of the Army’s most successful pieces of new equipment. Its distribution to combat units of the Seventh Army has been completed.

The Baltimore Colts took advantage of several Chicago mistakes today to score a 40–24 victory over the Bears and take a major step toward winning the Western Conference title in the National Football League. The triumph, Baltimore’s eighth in a row, plus second place Detroit’s 30–7 loss to Green Bay gave the Colts a 2½‐game lead over the Lions with five games remaining. Johnny Unitas did not play one of his top games, but he made up for it with clutch pass completions on third down and long yardage situations. The Baltimore passing star completed 16 of 32 attempts for 241 yards and one touchdown. He also contributed an 11‐yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter to put the game beyond Chicago’s reach. Baltimore took a 10‐0 lead early in the first quarter when the Colts turned a fumble by Jon Arnett into a touchdown and intercepted a pass by Bill Wade to set up a 28‐yard field goal by Lou Michaels, the first of four completed by the left-footed kicker during the game. Michaels added field goals of 27 and 20 yards in the second quarter for a 16–0 lead before the Bears scored late in the first half on a 47‐yard field goal by Roger Leclerc. Baltimore struck quickly on a 93‐yard touchdown drive in three plays early in the second half. With third and 25 to go, Unitas completed a 30‐yard pass to Jimmy Orr. Tony Lorick went up the middle for 60 yards and Jerry Hill went over from the 3 on the next play.
The Dallas Cowboys downed the New York Giants, 31–21. The defeat left the Giants in last place in the National Football League’s Eastern Conference. The victory, the third in a row for the Cowboys, raised them to the .500 mark and third place. The decision was a gift, the Giants’ errors wiping out as strong an effort as their defensive platoon has staged this season. Y. A. Tittle went through a torturous afternoon that began early when he threw a poor pass that was intercepted by Jim Ridlon, the Cowboy safety man. The interception was the 16th made against Tittle this season, and he is near the top of the league in this ignominy. Ridlon returned this interception 74 yards along the sidelines for the first Cowboy touchdown. The second score came three minutes later when Chandler failed to get his punt away and Dallas took over at the Giant 17. Don Meredith, the quarterback, passed to Frank Clarke for the score. Clarke, one of the league’s best but least renowned receivers, caught five passes for 82 yards and two touchdowns. The Giants fell 21 points behind in the second period when McDonald, who used to catch a dozen scoring passes a year for the Philadelphia Eagles, fooled Erich Barnes. The Giants mounted a second half comeback but fell short.
The Green Bay Packers, taking advantage of their best defensive performance in two years, hurt the Detroit Lions’ title hopes today by scoring a 30–7 victory. Jim Taylor scored twice, once on an 84‐yard run, and Paul Hornung kicked three field goals and three extra points to lead the rout of the National Football League’s Western Conference contenders. Only a 23‐yard touchdown pass from Mitt Plum to Gail Cogdill with nine seconds to play kept the Packers from scoring their first shutout since 1962. The Packers scored the first three times they had the ball. Taylor plunged over from the 1 to cap a 73‐yard drive that was sparked by the passing and running of Bart Starr.
Les Josephson, a Los Angeles rookie, broke loose for 75 yards to set up the first touchdown and the Rams went on to defeat the Philadelphia Eagles, 20–10, today on a National Football League game. Scoring in every quarter, the Rams held off a spirited lastquarter surge by the Eagles. A crowd of 53,994 saw the game in Memorial Coliseum. Dick Bass scored from the 1 to start the scoring. The Eagles scored on a 40‐yard field goal in the second period by Sam Baker and the Rams led at the half. 7–3. Munson and Pope got together on a 31‐yard pass that led to the second Los Angeles touchdown, Ben Wilson plunging the final yard. The Eagles marched 68 yards in eight plays under the direction of King Hill, Ollie Matson scoring on a 24‐yard strike for the lone touchdown. That cut the margin to 17–10 but the Eagles could not score again. Bill Munson’s 48‐yard pass completion to Bucky Pope led to a 12‐yard field goal by Bruce Gossett, who added another three‐pointer in the fourth period from 27. yards.
The St. Louis Cardinals rallied with three touchdowns in the last half today and then held off a late Pittsburgh rush for a 34–30 victory over the Steelers in a National Football League game. The Cardinals overcame a 16–13 Pittsburgh margin on two touchdown passes by Charlie Johnson and Dale Meinert’s 18-yard scoring dash with a pass interception. Pittsburgh had the Cardinals hanging on in the final moments after Bill Nelsen had taken over at quarterback for Ed Brown. Nelson hit Dick Hoak on a scoring pass of 22 yards and followed with a 29-yard touchdown toss to Gary Baliman in the final two minutes. The Steelers had one more chance when they recovered a fumbled onside kick. Nelsen moved them to the Cardinals’ 23 before Pat Fischer intercepted a pass. Johnson set up three Cardinal scores and Jim Bakken’s 17th and 18th field goals. He completed 18 passes in 29 attemnts for 237 yards.
Fran Tarkenton passed for three first‐half touchdowns today and led the Minnesota Vikings to a 24–7 National Football League victory over the San Francisco 49ers. San Francisco averted being the first team to be shut out by the Vikings in the club’s four‐year history when George Mira hit Dave Parks with a 79‐yard scoring pass with less than 4 minutes left. Minnesota lost a linebacker, Bill Jobko, for the remainder of the season when he suffered a broken arm in the third period.
Jim Brown passed for one touchdown and drove 2 yards for another — his 100th touchdown in the National Football League — to lead the Cleveland Browns to a 34–24 victory over the Washington Redskins today. The victory enabled Cleveland to maintain a commanding lead in the Eastern Conference. Brown needs five more touchdowns to tie the league record of 105 held by Don Hutson, the former Green Bay Packer end. Ernie Green scored on a 21-yard sweep in the second quarter and Frank Ryan connected on a 62‐yard touchdown pass to Paul Warfield to give the Browns a comfortable lead in the third period. Lou Groza had kicked two field goals for them in the second quarter. Brown, throwing his first pass of the season, hit Gary Collins for 13 yards. The big fullback also rushed for 121 yards. It was the 49th time he has exceeded 100 yards in a game. The Redskins scored on three touchdown passes by Sonny Jurgensen. Bobby Mitchell grabbed two, both for 14 yards, and Charlie Taylor caught a 10-yarder. Jim Martin kicked a 30-yard field goal for Washington. The Browns gave Ryan good protection while the defense harried Jurgensen, especially in the first half. Taylor, the Redskins’ rookie fullback, was held to 67 yards rushing, but picked up 77 more on pass receptions.

The San Diego Chargers turned two intercepted passes into fourth‐quarter touchdowns today to defeat the Denver Broncos, 31–20, in an American Football League game. The last three San Diego touchdowns were set up by Bronco turnovers. Jerry Norton scored a third‐period touchdown after Chuch Allen recovered a wild lateral by Jacky Lee at the Denver 11. Denver went ahead in the third quarter when Jim McMillon recovered a bad snap on a San Diego punt attempt in the end zone. The Broncos got 2 more points when John Hadl was thrown in the end zone on another punt attempt for a safety. Denver drove 60 yards in five plays for a touchdown in the second period with Lee scoring from the 8 on a rollout. San Diego had scored the first two times it had the ball.
The Kansas City Chiefs took advantage of jittery Oakland Raiders offense and scored a 42–7 American Football League triumph today. The Chiefs turned two Oakland fumbles and a pass interception into touchdowns. Len Dawson’s four touchdown passes increased his season total to 20. Tommy Brooker booted six extra points to extend his record consecutive string to 79. The Chiefs scored the first two times they had the ball and opened a 21–0 lead before Oakland managed a first down and could penetrate Kansas City territory midway in the second quarter.
Playing before a screaming mob of 61,929 fans, the largest in the history of the American Football League, the New York Jets lost to the Buffalo Bills, 20–7, in a stormy battle that was not clinched until the final 43 seconds yesterday at Shea Stadium. Cookie Gilchrist was contained by the Jets’ defense for most of the game, with only 32 yards gained in eight carries. Then came the ninth carry with 43 seconds remaining. Gilchrist burst through the line for a 67‐yard touchdown romp on what had started as only a plunge for a yard or two and a first down.
