Upon enactment, the ban would apply to housing built with the aid of federal funds, including FHA and Veteran Administration mortgages, public housing and urban renewal housing. Such housing is already covered SANTA MONICA, Calif. (AP) "In the Heat of the Night" won five Oscars, including best-picture acclaim and best-actor honors for Rod Steiger, at the 40th Academy Awards ceremony. Katharine Hepburn, 58, was named 1967's best motion picture actress as a perplexed mother whose daughter plans to marry a Negro in "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner." The accolades of movieland were scattered, and there were a few surprises Wednesday night.

Considered hotter contenders than Hepburn were Faye Dunaway of the explosive "Bonnie and Clyde" and Anne Bancroft, the neurotic who seduces a youth half her age in "The Graduate." Steiger was acclaimed by Sidney Poitier, the boyfriend taken honie to "Dinner" and the Negro fcostar of Steiger in "Heat" Five Charged In tilling Of Teaoher CINCINNATI (AP) Police have charged three Negro young men with first-degree murder and two juveniles with assault with a deadly weapou in the beating and fatal stabbing of an art instructor during Monday night's rioting.

The adults were held without bond, the1 juveniles were turned over to juvenile authorities. Noel Wright, 30, a graduate assistant at the University of Cincinnati, was slain by a group of Negroes as he and his wife 28, drove in the Mount Auburn section. The murder charges were lodged against Eugene Calloway, 20; Terry A.

Ware, 18; and T. Edward Lewis, 22, all Wright's death was one of two attributed to the rioting which erupted in Avondale. Damages in the city due to rioting were estimated at $500,000. About 200 persons were arrested. Police and 1,400 National Guardsmen continued their patrols through the city although the city was calm late Wednesday.

After Dec. 31, 1968, the law would apply to other housing, except for single-family houses if the owner doesn't own more than three houses, dwellings of four units or less if the owner occupies one of them, and housing provided by religious organizations and private clubs for members. After Dec. 31, 1969, the single-family exemption would apply only to owners who sell or Night' SCSI'S this way: "He's probabily the greatest actor in the world." In accepting his award, Steiger thanked Poitier for giving him understanding of racial prejudice.

Both "In the Heat of the Night" and "Guess Who's Com ing to Dinner" dealt with the ra cial problem. Mike Nichols, 37, nominated a year ago for "Who's Afraid of Virginia won this time among directors for his second film, "The Graduate." Supporting honors went to George Kennedy, the chain gang convict of "Cool Hand Luke" and to Broadway's Es telle Parsons in "Bonnie and Clyde," her second movie and first important film role. Steiger, the southern sheriff who reluctantly lets Poitier, a Negro detective from Philadel phia, help him solve a crime, nosed out two other also favored nominees: Dustin Hoffman as a confused youth in "The Gradu ate" and Warren Beatty as the ruthless bank robber Clyde Bar row in "Bonnie and Clyde."

Brown Seeks Venue Change In Check Case John C. Brown, 34, of Lakeside, indicted by the February session of the grand jury on charges of intent to defraud is seeking a change of venue because of newspaper coverage which allegedly contained inaccurate and misleading information which Brown feels may- sway a jury against him.

Brown was indicted by the grand jury on fraud charges stemming from the Oct. 26 issuance of a check in the amount of $3,465.26 to county treasurer Fnemark for real estate taxes due on property. On Feb. 20 Brown nleaded innocent before Common Pleas Court Judge Tom D. Stahl and on Feb.

JOHN KEKELIK Mrs. Gertrude Kekelik, 59, wife of John Kekelik of Clemons Drive, Marblehead, died this morning at her home, Her body will be at the Gerner and Wolf funeral home.

Mrs. Kekelik had been employed at New Departure in Sandusky. Her death was unexpected. She had been hospitalized several weeks ago, but was believed to be recovering, and had been up yesterday, by the attorney general where a wide pattern of discrimination is alleged. A plaintiff proving discrimination could collect $1,000 in damages.

State laws granting the same protection would not be invalidated by the federal law.

Also wiped out were many small struggling Negro shopkeepers, who are de tested as "Uncle Tom's." Many Negro residents of the neighborhood were obviously ap palled by the destruction. To shop for groceries from now on may mean a long bus trip across town at 50 cents round trip, trying to juggle all the heavy sacks on the way back or a long, long wait in line for whatever the one food market left in the area can offer. To get a bottle of aspirin.

the nearest drug store open today is over a mile away. It is the same for almost anything a resident of the area might want. This is an area of apartment houses and row houses where very few residents have auto mobiles. The inconvenience to daily life is going to be fan tastic. The little corner drugstore had changed through the years as its clientele changed.

Even the pharmacist was; a graduate of Howard University, wearing a neat white coat, and earning about $10,000 a year. In the upper 14th Street area between 500 and 1,000 Negro employees have lost their jobs, along with the businesses where they worked. The merchants will be very slow in rebuilding. Most of them were already complaining that their fire and riot insurance policies were being cancelled. A large part of the loss in this area therefore, was uninsured.

No insurance company will ever write casualty insurance in this area again unless the federal government makes available at low rates some form of riot insurance to protect against the overwhelming losses they have suffered. Without insurance, merchants cannot obtain bank loans or consignment of stock from manufacturers. A few little hole-in-the-wall delicatessens or TV repair shops which do not carry a very expensive inventory of goods will patch up a damaged building and open up shop, but that is all. Even the big chains will hesitate to rebuild their outlets, if they have to risk another $300,000 to $500,000 uninsured loss. The corner drug store was open seven days a week from 7 a.m.

to 11 p.m. It was handy il you needed anything from a postage stamp to a hot water bottle or just a hot dog or Coke. It is inconceivable how much the people around there are going to miss it. Especially wun tne nearest store over a mile away. And the nearest lunch counter a mile away, too It will be weeks or months before you can even buy hamburger anywhere in the populous Mount Pleasant area "Why did they let the young people go out and do things like this?" my friend heard one elderly Negro ask.

Nearby a woman said, "My husband works nights and I am afraid to go on the street alone. Where will I go to buy my groceries?" Dr. King showed what non violence could do to advance civil rights. The Black Activists have now showed what violence can do. It will be interesting to see how many votes violence will get in the Mount Pleasant neighborhood.

The corner drug store is gone. In its place is a void filled with hate, fear, and heartbreak. It wasn't a very aODronrialc tribute In Dr Kino but it mav eventuallv fl mri than anyone's words to show his wisdom.

Vital Statistics -j-V -J urnei eans By GLENN D. EVERETT Daily News Washington Correspondent WASHINGTON The little corner drug store is gone. This is the story of the riot in Washington. Racial extremists, repudiating the non-violent philosopy of Dr. Martin Luther King before his body could even be buried, have now demonstrated what violence can do.

The interesting thing is that they have shown their own neighborhoods what it does as well as "whitey" across town, The result may not be very popular in the months to come. The little drug store has been at the corner of 14th Street and Columbia Road in Washington's upper northwest area as long as anyone can remember. Years ago it became an outlet of a chain but retained its character as the friendly neighborhood drug store. When I first came to Washington 24 years ago, I was told that they had a bulletin board in that drug store and if you looked on it, you might find rooms listed for rent, in spite of Washington wartime housing shortage. I looked and I rented a room in the neighborhood and stayed about three years.

The neighboring area was then about 50-50 as to racial composition. It is now about 80-20 Negro. Gosh, I said to an old friend from the neighborhood who still lives there, when he told me yesterday that the drug store was gone, along with just about every other place of business for 15 blocks on upper 14th Street, they are certainly going to miss that convenient little drug store. What will they do without it? That is the best question of the day, he replied. There were four other drug stores within a radius of four or five blocks and the rioters looted and burned those, too.

They particularly assaulted the prescription de partments, hoping to find nar cotics. There were five grocery sup ermarkets in the Mount Plea sant shopping area. Four were completely devastated by looters. One, on a side street, escaped with only broken windows and showcases and was able to open for busines yesterday on an emergency basis. It was jammed and a long line of housewives waited to get in One dairy store on a side street had escaped.

The line was almost a block long waiting to get in. Milk was being rationed, two cartons to a customer, and one package of ice cream and one pound of butter. The store ran out of everyting about 2 p.m. Not a single dry cleaner or clothing store is left. The two ten-cent stores were burned out so badly that bulldozers were pulling down the walls, A new 1 many public buildings which flew the American' Flag at half mast Friday, Monday and Tuesday as a tribute to Dr.
