Mr.. Khrushchev Is not con-
cealing the fact that he wants
a peaceful settlement of the

terms. There is some resis-
lance among some policy
makers in Washington who
realize that a round-table
meeting at this time would
mean only thinly concealed
surrender to the Communist
world. Unfortunately, some of
President Eisenhower's init

feel that we have no alterna-

tR.-Circuit Court yesterday
upheld three OF four City
Court miSdemeanor convictions
against Segregationist John
Kasper. All stemmed from last
months school indignation
troubles here.
Special Judge Tyree Harris
denied KaSper's appeal from
$50 fines each for vagrancy and
disorderly conduct. He re-
duced a $50 fine for lettering
to $40 and dismissed a fourth
$50 fine levied on q disorderly
conduct count.
Under Surveillance
City Attorney Robert Jen-
nings said the New Jersey-born
segregationist will be kept un-
der police surveillance las long
as he is in Nashville to de-
termine whether he finds an
honest calling" AS a convicted
vagrant. Mr.. Jennings added,
"he is subject to arrest day by
day"
KaSper's lawyer said the con-
victionS will be appealed 70
either the State Court OF APP
peals or the Tennessee Supreme
Court. Kasper remains free
under $500 bond.
During the lengthy hearing
Kasper was questioned closely
as to where he gets his money
That's none of your bust
ness" he snapped.
Denied Urging Violence
The substance OF his testi-
mony was that he gets his
money from collections at local
meetings and contributions
from all over the world.
Kasper denied he advocated
violence to prevent the recent
start of public school integra-
ton here and said he used to
mix socially with Negroes as
part Of his studies in anthro-
