Russia, China T alks Resumed

MOSCOW (UPI) — Top-level representatives of Russia and Red China met in two negotiating sessions today in a resumed effort to prevent a further widening of the breach in the international Communist movement. With Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev back in Moscow for the first time since the talks be-: gan, the Peking and Moscow delegations ended a one-day recess and conferred in morning and afternoon sessions. Communist sources said the negotiators assembled anew in an afternoon session at the central committee headquarters and it was understood that for the first time they discussed substantive issues in the bitter Moscow-Pe-king dispute. The negotiators started out with a three-hour morning session after Tuesday’s mutually agreedupon recess that permitted the Chinese Comumnist delegated to get new instructions from Peking. In the meantime Khrushchev returned to Moscow from the Ukraine, where he had conferred with former NATO SecretaryGeneral Paul-Henri Spaak. He met today With visiting Hungarian Premier Janos Kadar but there was no indication whether the Soviet premier attended, the talks for the first time. It was believed Khrushchev may be using the occasion of Ka-

Integration Fight Continues To Swell

By United Press International An angry young Negro leader today promised Savnnah, Ga., authorities “we’ll probably come out fighting” unless the port city fathers agree to desegregation demands. “Tonight we’re pleading (for integration); tomorrow it’ll be a different story,” Benjamin Van Clarke, 19, shouted from atop a black casket in an address to more than 1,500 singing, clapping, shouting Negroes in front of City Hall. Across the nation—from Maryland to Nebraska to California—the integration struggle continued to swell. In some areas -the civil rights moved teetered on the edge of violence. In others it simmered down awaiting the outcome of peaceful biracial negotiations. In a few cases courts came up with legal remedies. Comments On Bill An administration spokesman in Washington said President Kennedy's controversial public accommodations bill would envelop nearly all facilities — including “most hamburger stands.” In Georgia a Ku Klux Klan grand dragon announced a gigantic rally July 20 in racially tense Savannah? And in Portsmouth, N.H., Charles C. Sprague, a barber, waS" scheduled to be arraigned on a charge of refusing to cut a Negro’s hair. Police, including a specially trained riot squad, stood by in Savannah with tear gas grenades, gas masks and shotguns when the Negroes converged by car and on foot through the humid night to the City Hall shortly after midnight. Six demonstrators spearheaded the march shouldering a casket and a placard stating: “We’ll bury segregation in here.” A biracial committee was scheduled to talk out racial differences later today. Negro Leaders Meet In Cambridge, Md., integration leaders announced a meeting to decide whether they would call off further Negro demonstrations until the U. S. Department of Justice begins mediation Friday on the town’s desegregation problems. . j The announcement followed another demonstration in the Maryland city by 150 persons. One white heckler was arrested after a fist fight. In other regions of the country the racial temperature varied from hour to hour. Some of the developments: Winston-Salem, N.C.: A segre? gated cafeteria unknowingly served a- light-skinned Negro woman accompanied by a white minister and two white women. After eating, the four went outside and the woman picketed with a sign reading: “I am Negro. I just ate here.” Pine Bluff, Ark.: An integration leader said a decision by the city’s school board to voluntarily desegregate the first two grades in September was “totally unacceptable." He called for integration of all 12 grades. Chicago: The Illinois Club for Catholic Women, recently picket-

dar’s Moscow visit as a further move to solidify support among Eastern European Communist nations for Moscow's stand in the controversy with Peking. Communist sources said the first few meetings of the negotiating teams were limited to an exchange of position papers. It was believed that discussion of the particular points of controversy might begin today. Trade Charges News from Peking indicated little chance that the chilly atmosphere would iinprove. A Chinese statement, announced by the New China News Agency and monitored in Tokyo, accused the Soviet Union of trying to infringe on Red China’s sovereignty. It said the Russians have created a grave situation by extending ideological differences to state relations. The Peking statement, issued by the Chinese Communist party, was in reply to a Soviet party statement Tuesday accusing the Chinese of trying to disrupt SinoSoviet relations and the Moscow talks. The dispute is over interpretation of Marxist-Leninist doctrine. The Russians contend that communism can defeat Western capitalism without resort to war, but the Chinese insist on pushing armed revolution to spread communism.

Beverly Hills, CaMf.: Negroes and whites, clergymen and Hollywood stars began a move aimed at “peacefully” integrating the movie community. Charleston, S.C.: Forty-one Negroes were convicted of trespassing on private property during anti-segregation sit-ins. Each was sentenced to 30 days in jail or a SIOO fine.

Dispute Is Settled By Supreme Court INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The Indiana Supreme Court today settled a long dispute between attorneys and realtors by holding that 12 commonly-used real estate forms may be filled in by nonlawyers, but that only lawyers may execute deeds. The high court ruling, in which Judge Amos Jackson dissented in part, came after a long legal battle involving both the American Bar Association and the National Association of Real Estate Boards. The Indiana State Bar Association, which filed the suit Oct 13, 1960, against the Indiana Real Estate Association, had charged that realtors were practicing law because of the many legal documents they fill out without consulting an attorney. Judge Harold Achor wrote the majority opinion which said “There is a twilight zone between the area of activity which is clearly permitted to the layman and that which is denied him. Generally it can be said that the filling in of blanks on legal instruments by attorneys which require only the use of common knowledge regarding the legal consequences involved does not constitute the practice of law.” The -opinion spelled out 12 legal instruments which it said real estate' brokers and agents may fill out 'L . .

Harriman Heads Delegation To Test Ban Talks WASHINGTON (UPI) — President Kennedy is sending to the Moscow test ban talks a delegation qualified to discuss a broad range of East-West . political issues whichV up The talks open Monday. The U.S. mission, headed by W. Averell Harriman, undersecretary of state for political affairs, includes both disarmament experts and senior officials of the State Department's European section. Harriman will seek clarification of Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev’s proposals in an East Berlin speech last week linking a partial nuclear test ban with an East-West non-aggression pact. The United. States and Britain, which will take part with Russia in the Moscow discussions are prepared to negotiate a test ban treaty but they could not by themselves agree to a nonaggression pact which would involve all 15 NATO nations. 1 Harriman was leaving today for New York where he will spend the night before departing for London to confer with Britain’s negotiator, Science Minister Lord Hailshem. President Kennedy discussed U.S. policy for the test ban talks with Harriman and the National Security Council at a White House meeting Tuesday.

ITie four members of the North Adams community school "board failed to agree Tuesday night on which area should be entitled to a fifth member, and the meeting adjourned to allow Clarence Bultcmeier and Louis Krueckeberg time to seek legal counsel. Bultemeier, Krueckeberg, Dr. James Burk, and Herbert Banning, as well as Decatur school superintendent Gail Brabill, met together at 8 p. m. Rural View As the meeting began, Bultemeier expressed the opinion that the rural area was entitled to the fifth school board member. Although they had met a year ajo on June 13, 1962, and selected Warren Nidllnger, Jr., as the fifth man, they felt that since the board was enjoined from acting during his term, that they should get the "first” appointment. City View Dr. Burk and Banning maintained that the appointment a year ago had been made according to lav, that through no fault of the boardig, or of Nidlinger's, they had been enjoined from acting, but that this didn’t "stop time,” and they had

Shortages Os Soil Moisture In State LAFAYETTE, Ind. (UPI)— Nearly all of Indiana reported soil ♦noisture shortages last week, although wfeather for, field work on Hoosier farms was considered “excellent.” But agricultural statistician Robert E. Straszheim reported from Purdue that moisture deficiencies were reported in “nearly ah areas exceptjßsome counties in the southwtest and south-cen-tral." “Pasture condition rated from mostly poor to fair —somewhat better in the south,” he said. The report said combining of wheat moved ahead, with the harvest 40 per cent complete, compared with the usual 30 per cent. Combining of a late crop of oats continued to progress slowly. Only 5 per cent of the crop had been combined compared with a usual 20 per cent. “The corn crop continues to make fairly good progress,” Straszheim said, “although additional soil moisture is needed in most areas. Tasseling of corn is still limited in southern areas.” The tomato crop looked generally good, although additional moisture was needed. Raymond C. Lahrman Dies At Fort Wayne Raymond C. Lahrman, 61, of 2820 S. Barr St., Fort Wayne, died at 8:15 p.m. Tuesday at the Lutheran hospital, where he had been admitted a short time earlier. He had been in ill health two years.

all actually served a year, even though they could not act during that time. Bultemeier and Krueckeberg’ then stated that they would like time to consult with Judge Myles F. Parrish, or with an attorney on the question, and the meeting was adjourned. Need Statement They then contacted Judge Pnrrlsh, who told them that he was not .a practicing attorney, but a judge, and that he could not advise them, but that if they wanted an order on the matter from the court, their attorneys should ask for a declaratory judgment.

WASHINGTON (UPD - Rail unions today rejected President Kennedy’s proposal for arbitration of the railroad crisis and he worked feverishly against the clock to prevent a midnight strike. Kennedy called congressional leaders to the White House for emergency conferences with other governmental leaders, a possible ? Ke ' woulcl ask Congress to work out a settlement. If he should adopt this course, it was believed that Kennedy also would ask the railroads to hold off on putting into effect new work rules which would trigger '.the midnight walkout. The five unions turned down Kennedy’s proposal to let Supreme Court Justice Arthur Goldberg arbitrate the dispute and work out a final settlement. - i The railroads, which accepted the proposal, said the new rules would go into effect at midnight. The unions promptly disclosed that members had been told to carry out strike instructions on any carrier that posted notices of the new work rules. The Deadline Nears Concern mounted as the clock moved toward the midnight deadline. The government began preparations to at least ease the paralyzing effects of a nationwide rail tieup. The Interstate Commerce Commission said it would authorize truckers, bus companies and domestic water carriers to take on extra routes and cargoes if the trains stopped running. White House Press Secretary Pierre Salinger said the union and railroad management spokesmen were standing by for a possible second session with Kennedy. But a noon deadline for notifying them of another conference passed without word from the President. v Salinger said he would not com- [ ment on what the President plans to do but added: “The President is obviously doing something.’’ Congressmen With Kennedy House Democratic leaders who spent much of the morning at the White House were tightlipped about their talks with Kennedy. “We were brought up to date on the situation," was all Speaker John W. McCormack would say. Both McCormack and House Democratic Leader Carl Albert, Okla., turned aside all questions as to whether there would be a presidential message to Congress. It was noted, however, that among the key figures called to the White House was Rep. Adam Clayton Powell, D-N.Y., chairman of the House Labor Committee, which would handle any legislation. . , “We are being asked to agree to a procedure which we believe could pave the avenue to future compulsory arbitration by custom or practice,” the unions said. “This we cannot do as a matter of principle.” ~ The railroads accepted the President’s extraordinary proposal, which whs designed to head oft a nationwide rail strike. The walkout could occur any time after midnight) tonight. The unions told the President, however, that they would join the chief executive “in seeking some alternative method of settlement that wjll preserve the principles of fre > collective bargaining.” Kennedy told both sides he "deeply regretted" that his proposal W as not accepted. I Difficult to Reject The I union chiefs said it was difficult for them to reject the plan because they had the highest . respect for Justice Goldberg. “Wp hope that you can suggest some other method than the one procedure we cannot accept as a matter of deepest principle, which will act to prevent the railroads from proceeding with their drastic changes in rules, wages and working conditions without agreement,” the union leaders said. J. E. Wolfe, chief negotiator for the railroads, promptly said the work rules involved in the dispute would be placed into effect at 12:01 a.m. Thursday. Union leaders have said this would trigger a nationwide strike. “The unity of the railroads will not be broken," Wolfe said. But he added that he would be ready to consider any suggestion from the President in the rail crisis.

Nation Braces For Crippling Strike

CHICAGO (UPI) - The nation braced itself today for a crippling rail strike that could tie up untold industries and businesses and clog the- highways with thousands of displaced passengers. A strike would hit freight movement of livestock, grain and other perishables the hardest. It would force commuters—of which there are hundreds of thousands in New York and Chicago alone—to find other ways to go to work. And it surely would hit every consumer in the pocket with higher prices. Commerce Secretary Luther podges said a strike would d,o irreparable damage to the na 7 tion’s 5 ' economy. ‘‘lt would slow it down appreciably,” Hodges said Tuesday at a news conference, and the economy would “probably never make it up again ” Hoffa Pledges Support James R. Hoffa, president of the Teamsters Union, whose truck drivers would have to take up much of the slack in case of a rail shutdown, pledged his union’s support of a strike. But Hoffa said no strike is good for anyone at any time. Postmaster General J. Edward Day said the post office would susi>end delivery of second, third and fourth class mail beyond 150 miles if a railroad strike Occurs. He said first class mail and air mail would continue to be dispatched. A meat packing official, Edward A. Cudahy 111, president of — ■■■ ' —■■ - - Richard Y. Sutton Quits State Police Capt.

Sutton, who now makes his home at Coatesville, started his state police career as a trooper, and has advanced through several different departments of the state organization to his present position as captain. Sutton has been appointed by the United States state department as a rural police advisor for the agency for international development. Capt. Sutton is the son of the late Judge and Mrs. Jesse Sutton, and is a brother of Jesse Sutton, Decatur Jeweler.

the Cudahy Packing Co., said a nation-wide rail strike would cause chaos in the livestock and meat packing industry. Cudahy said there would not be enough alternate shipping facilities to carry meat to customers, and packers would have to cut back their purchases of live animals to match their ability to distribute meat. Uris, he said, would strike a severe blow at the livestock producer who is just recovering from a winter of drastically lower prices. -- Would Suffer Most Homer R. Davison, president of the American Meat Institute, said the West, East and South would suffer the most serious shortage of meat in case of a prolonged rail strike. Davison said that although trucks have become an important vehicle in hauling livestock in recent years, it would be “virtually impossible” for the trucks and highways to handle the increased volume.

Stalewide Study On Tile Spacing .Part of a statewide study on the spacing between rows of drain tile in a farm field will be conducted in Adams county over the next decade, Fay Anderson, U. S. soil conservation service engineer specialist, announced today. Anderson is working with Milt Spence, U. S. work unit conservationist for Adams county, in locating satisfactory, sites in the county. Two or four will be selected with equal numbers of fields «>f Blount spil or Pewamo soil. The field trials will be held in 10 counties of Indiana. Since Hoosier farmers spend over $lO,000.000 a year on drain tile, with at least 500,000 line feet a year in Adams county, valued at over JHXI.OOO, part of the study will be made here. ‘ In each field selected, a line of tile at a standard depth of 30-42 inches will be laid. Corn will be planted on the field, parallel to the line, and thb yield in the rows as they extend from the drain tile will be measured. When the yield begins to drop off, that will be recorded As a pattern develops for the different types of soil, the best distances for tile lines will be established.
