(AP)--The head of the FBI in Mississippi took charge today of the hunt for the bombers who seriously wounded a Negro civil rights leader. A bomb hidden beneath the hood exploded when George Metcalf, about 55, turned on the ignition of his car Friday. Metcalf, president of the local branch of the National Associ- ation for the Advancement of Colored People, was reported in fair condition today by doc- tors. Roy K. Moore, special agent in charge of the FBI's Missis- sippi field office at Jackson, came here to lead the investi- gation. State and local officers are assisting the FBI. Mayor John Nosser, saying "the perpetrators of this dast- ardly crime must be appre- hended and brought to justice at once," offered a $2,000 re- ward, | TENSIONS INCREASE The booby-trap bombing of Metcalf's car increased racial tensions in Natchez, a historic Mississippi river town, which is a hotbed of Ku Klux Klan activity. | Both Klansmen and mem-| bers of the militant Negro Deacons for Defence and Jus- tice in this area are known to be heavily armed. Charles Evers, Mississippi field secretary for the NAACP, forecast trouble. "The Negroes have armed themselves," said Evers, whose brother, Medgar, was shot and killed from am- bush at Jackson two years ago.| Evers said Metcalf had spearheaded the drive for Ne-| gro equality in the Natchez) area.

First on the scene was Stanley Kerr, the dead boy's uncle, who, after jerking clear the hand saw, tried unsuccessfully to administer mouth to mouth resuscita- tion Further atlempts to revive the boy were made in an Oshawa city ambulance which rushed the boy to Oshawa General Hospital.

The question of mem- bership in the organization had been considered for years by this government and its prede- cessor and "perhaps we were right in not hurrying into the organization." Canada had always been pop- ular in Latin America and "'per- haps we wouldn't have been so popular if we had to take sides in disputes."' During Mr. Pearson's speech and question-and-answer period before the world development conference he talked about Can- ada's determination to play its }part in such organizations as the United Nations, NATO and the Commonwealth.
