day afternoon when Assistant
Secretary Of State William
Rountree summoned DR.. Ma
mun Hamui, Syrian Embassy
Counselor, TO his ONCE for an
l8-minute conference.
Behavior Protested
Mr.. Rountree protested
Syria's recent behavior toward
the United States and handed
Mr.. Hamui q note declaring
Mr.. zeineddine and Mr.. TAXA
ria persona non grata."
In addition to the protest
against "the government-in-
Spired slanderous campaign
which has been carried on
against the United States" Mr..
Rountree also protested Inter
ference with an American
diplomatic courier at the Syri-
an border on August H."
Press Oficer Lincoln White
Identified the courier as Jerry
Turner and said he understood
Mr.. Turner was travelling from
Damascus to Beirut. Lebanon,
when. he was halted at the
bordc-.
His car was searched, Mr..
White reported, by a person in
civilian clothes who seized Mr..
Turner'S diplomatic passport
and that Of his chauffeur. The
man in civilian clothes refused
to identify himself, Mr.. White
said, and even went to the
extreme Of Selling one Of the
diplomatic pouches, making an
attempt to have it opened"
Mr.. Turner succeeded in re-
covering the pouch and after
some delay he was allowed to
depart with his passport. Pre-
sumably the chauffeur went
with him.
Relations Weakened
Mr.. White said that Mr..
zeineddine and Mr.. Zakaria
were declared unacceptable be-
cause "the continued presence
Of these two in the United
States does not contribute to
friendly relations between the
United States and Syria"
He did not explain what he
meant. Other officials said
that Mr.. zeineddine had been
an outspoken critic of United
States Middle East policy in
speeches in this country, par
ticularly attacking United
States friendship with Israel.
Relations between Washing
ton and Damascus have been
going downhill for many
months. Syria is closely
linked with Egypt in its Mid
die East policy and has, like
Egypt, taken substantial shir-
ments Of arms from the Soviet

Role in Hearing

The role OF the local branch
of the National Association for

People In the case Of Police Pvt
William Dankos, charged with
brutality in an arrest, proved
to be a stumbling block today

Taking the stand finally was
Eugene Davidson. president OF
the NAACP's local branch. But
attempts by Defense Attorney
James j. Laughlin to probe
functions of the organization
caused Mr.. DAVIDSON to ster
down and leave the hearing
room while lawyers and the
Trial Board became embroiled
In legal hassles.
Opposes Testimony
1t was the position of Cor
poration Counsel Robert Camp
bell that Mr.. Davidson should
not be allowed to testify.
Pointing out that formal
charges against Pvt. Dankos
we're placed by Police Chief
Robert v. Murray, Mr.. Camp
bell stated that Mr.. Davidson's
testimony could only be con-
sidered il the trial board
wanted to place the. Police De-
partment, a complaint review
board and the District Com
missioners in league with the
NAACP.
He referred to Mr.. Laugh
Inns position that the MACE
has participated in a conspir-
acy against the Police Depart
ment.
The board then attempted to
determine il the NAACP had
initiated charges against the
policeman.
Several documents were read
which stated Claude H. Ander-
son. complainant in the case
acting through the NAACP,
initiated the charges.
Allowing Mr.. Davidson to
testify, the trial board tolc
him not to answer any ques-
tons which he thought might

ate him.

Mr.. Laughlin then drew from

interested in the case when he
heard a story of a horrible

phone.

up statements.
II wanted to satisfy myself
that there was a prima facie
case of police brutality" he
testified.
He added the NAACP did not
financially sponsor a broadcast
the day following the alleged
brutality incident which sent
out a call for all witnesses to
report to his office.
During a discussion of the
NAACP Mr.. Laughlin said Ahe

I'VE asked whether the en-

he said no: that it was enough
just to have Tony Ducks come

Request Overruled
Corallo's lawyer, Joseph Nc

the opening remarks Of the

companying chart were highly
prejudicial. He cited the First.
