Demonstrators are arrested CHICAGO UPI — Two men and a woman, shouting an antiwar poem of a Vietnamese Buddhist monk, interrupted the start of a speech by Secretary of State Dean Rusk today and were beaten by delegates of the Lions International Convention. The three were hauled out of the stands at the Chicago Stadium by policemen who rescued them from blue-jacket-ed Lions delegates who jumped down from their seats in the stands just as Rusk was about | to begin his address. Two of the three demonstrators were taken to a police station, where police said they would be charged with disorderly conduct. One identified himself as Karl Meyer, 30, associate editor of the Catholic Worker, a Chicago newspaper. The other said she was Renee Schwartz, a 19-year-old University of Chicago student The third person, a man, was not identified and v r as apparently not held. Meyer brandished a banner which he said he obtained from a Buddhist monk in Saigon who later set fire to himself and died. The banner carried the words “hear the last words of one who loved Vietnam.” “Mr. Rusk! Mr. Rusk!" Meyer shouted. “Men are not our enemy! If we kill men, with whom shall we live?” After his arrest, Meyer said his words were those of a poem written by Thaich Nhat Hanh, a monk at the Buddhist University in SAIGON. The disturbance occurred as Rusk stood ready to begin his speech. After the uproar, the secretary told the delegates, “Actually, I don’t mind people carrying signs for peace. We’ve been trying to get it for years.” In his speech, Rusk said the United States hopes for “a genuine peaceful coexistence .. a genuine detente” with the Communist world.

Also on the 14th will be a 4-H Electric Workshop. It will last all day starting at 9:00 until 12:00 In the morning, and then from 1:30 to 4:00 in the afternoon. This will be the last Electric Workshop this year, so if anyone needs any help in electric they had better come to

Serious com damage has been found in scattered fields in four Indiana counties from garden symphylan, a white segmented centipede-like pest. It feeds on roots of small corn plants stunting or killing them. Damaged plants will produce a few or no ears. Farmers can search for the pest by digging several plants in the field and looking for fragile, whitish centipedes about one-fourth inch long. The symphylan is not an insect or a true centipede but has many legs and will

No evidence of improved relations

WASHINGTON UPI—U. S. j officials say there has been i nothing since the Glassboro j summit to indicate Russia is j seeking the “genuine detente” : called for by Secretary of State ; Dean Rusk, and nothing is ex- | pected. The meetings two weeks ago between President Johnson and Soviet Premier Alexei N. i Kosygin have been played down in Russia, and nothing dramatic toward a warmer relationship is foreseen out of the Kremlin, U. S. sources said Thursday. Past high-level discussions between the two superpowers produced rising popular hopes in the citizenry of each that improved relations would follow. But this time Soviet leaders evidently decided against playing up the possible benefits of the exchange of views. One diplomatic analyst said

the Kremlin seems to want to avoid exciting the Soviet people over the possibility of improved Soviet-American relations. Soviet sources emphasized Thursday that the Rusisan leadership was quite serious about Kosygin’s statement that relations cannot be expected to improve as long as the Vietnam war continues. They said that Moscow believes both of the nuclear powers bear special responsibility for the peace of the world, not just in Vietnam but in the Middle East as well. Thus, they said, any steps by either side to dampen hositilities should be interpreted as evidence of a mutual concern for world peace rather than an improvement in Soviet-American relations. , This mutual concern apparently is one of the main considerations which motivates both sides in seeking an agreement to stop the spread of nuclear weapons, and brought about an accord earlier this year on the peaceful uses of outer space. Rusk, in a Chicago speech Thursday, spoke on the Glassboro summit. “We hope for genuine peaceful co-existence— a genuine detente,” he said. Rusk reported that President Johnson was “deeply intent on trying to improve relations with the Soviet Union and the smaller nations of eastern Eurogf.”
