in Britain regarding the AZ

liams, Assistant United States
Secretary Of State for African
Affairs.
British newspapers have pic
tured Mr.. Williams as taking
an unsympathetic view Of
British colonial policies. And

BATON ROUGE. La. Feb.
AZ (AP).-The State admins
tration, in a compromise move,
today turned over 50 million
to help pay all New Orleans
schoolteachers. including those
ct two integrated schools.
State Treasurer A. P. Tug
well said he advanced that
much in homestead exemption

Gov. Jimmie H. Davis ad-
ministration last week had re-
ported that Mr.. Tugwell was
expected to provide the funds.
The fiscal step marked, the
end of the fifth straight spe-
cial session Of the Legislature
that Gov. Davis had called to
fight the inroads of integration
at the william Frantz and
McDonogh No. 10 Elementary
Schools in New Orleans.
Contempt Hearing Friday
The compromise, limited at
last week, apparently was set
up to head off Federal Court
contempt action pending 6
against 1t. Gov. C. C. Aycock,
House Speaker Tom Jewell and
Education Supt. Shelby M
jackson. A hearing is sched-
uled in New Orleans Friday.
The Legislature itself by res
olution last night clung firmly
to its long stand that State
segregation laws forbid it to
pay the bill for New Orleans
integrated schools.
But this was done with
knowledge that administration
leaders already had made ar
arrangements outside the Legis-
lature to provide the funds.
The hope was that this would
satisfy the Federal Government
and perhaps ease Federal Court
pressure upon 1t. Gov. Aycock,
Mr.. Jewell and Mr.. jackson
The three are accused Of fail
ing to carry out q court man.
date to pay the teachers.
Resolution Approved
The Legislature approved q
resolution telling the Federal
Government 1t Is responsible
for any actions that brought
contempt citations against the
three State officials.
The Legislature took the
stand that the contempt action
was improper. discriminatory,
illegal, unwarranted and un-
American.
Major work Of the special
session was completed last week
and signed into law. New stat
utes providing for q local OPP
ton vote in school districts in
which the voters would decide
whether to end public educa-
ton rather than desegregate.
This dovetails with earlier
statutes to provide grants in
aid to pupils In private school
co-operatives. which would op-
crate on . segregated basis.
Two other statutes added In
the first dayss Of the session
would provide for paying in
formers on persons who bribe,
intimidate or encourage par
ents to send their children to

On Sour Note

LONDON. Feb. ~ (AP).-An
unofficial conference on peace
full coexistence wound up to-
day with British and Soviet
delegates in open disagreement.
II am afraid the field Of ac-
tual agreement reached at the
conference was limited" ad-
mitted Sir Fitzroy Maclean,
Conservative member of Par
lament and former diplomat.
Sir Fitzroy is chairman Of
the Great Britain -USSR ASso-
citation, which organized the
conference to study ways Of
improving relations between
the two nations. Among the
Is Soviet delegates was Alexei
Adzhubei, editor-in-chief Of
Izvestia and Son-in-law of Pre-
IAlCE AIlE uSklCHSV.
See Need for Amity
A statement issued after the
meeting said delegates had
unanimously agreed on the need
for peaceful coexistence and
a halt to actions "fomenting
hatred" between the British
and Soviet people. Sir Fitzroy
| told q news conference:
1--WE have been able to have
friendly personal relations and
talk quite freely among our
selves. But each side has taken
a completely different view on
the subject Of the exchange of
information"
The news conference took on
a somewhat acid note when
Laborite legislator Christopher
Mayhem called on the Soviet
Union to stop jamming Rus
sian language transmissions by
the British Broadcasting Corp.
and to allow British newspapers
to circulate freely in Soviet
cities.
Reds Dislike Cartoons
G. A. Hukov, a member of the
Soviet delegation, replied:
"We do not think it expedi-
ent to disseminate war propa-
ganda among the people.
I'VE do not disseminate
newspapers which carry such
cartoons as printed in the
London Times on the opening
day Of the conference which
showed Mr.. Khrushchev as a
butcher with an ak in his hand.
If we were to disseminate
such newspapers in our country
we would have to strengthen
the guard at the British En-
bassy to protect them against
the wrath of the Soviet public. "
Mr.. Mayhew also had a slight
brush with Mr.. Adzhubei.
Mr.. KhruShchev's son-in- law
said the Soviet Union had been
unable to allow British tourists
to enter the country immedi-
ately after World War II be-
cause Of war damage.
Many thousands Of people
had nowhere to entertain visi-
tors" he said.
Politics Seen Real Point
Mr.. Mayhem agreed that
probably was correct. but added
that the real problem had been
political repression.
This repression was criti-
cized effectively by your father
in-law," Mr.. Mayhem said, re-
ferring to Mr.. Khrpshchev's
famous denunciation Of Stain
The difficulty was not the
lack Of hotels but the fear oi
Soviet citizens to even talk
about the weather with visitors
1t is greatly encouraging to see
these restrictions going"

was attended by q number oi

Mississippi Hiway Patrol Charge Freedom Riders Inspired by Communists

JACKSON, Miss. lA - MissiS- sippi Highway Patrol investlga- tors charged yesterday Freedom Riders were inspired, directed and encouraged by Communists.
 Commissioner of Public Safety T. B. Birdsong told a news con- ference at least two riders ar rested during attempts in Jack son had participated in a Soviet directed seminar in Cuba de- signed to teach students how to sit-in, Walk-in, kneel-in and free dom ride.
 He identified them as Katherine Pleune, 21, of Chicago, white mimeograph machine operator; and James Robert Wahlstrom, 24, white University of Wisconsin student.
 Birdsong quoted Miss Pleune as saying she was part of a group of POP persons who went to Havana to hear a lecture by Dictator Fidel Castro and his government officials on his intentions con- corning the United States.
 Instead, she said, the meeting turned out to be a seminar con- ducted by nine officials of the Soviet Union.
 She said Castro also addressed the seminar.
 Miss Pleune said she was a native of Newark, N. J.
 She told officers she was taught not to believe in God. She ad- mitted to 100 to 15O arrests for demonstrations and picketing in New York, San Francisco and Chicago.

Kennedy's Comments Seem to Have Closed the Door on Tractor Deal

HAVANA LR - A foreign min istry source said yesterday that President Kennedy's comments on the tractors-for-prisoners issue seem to have closed the door to further negotiations.
 Kennedy told his Washington news conference Wednesday that the volunteer committee of Amer jeans had done all it could and it was now up to Fidel Castro to change his views"
 The general feeling here was that the Cuban Prime Minister won't reduce his demands and if the Tractors for Freedom Com mittee does not meet them, nego- tiations are probably ended.
 The committee disbanded Fri day after Castro rejected it's of- fer of 500 farm tractors - esti- mated to cost about $35 million in exchange for nearly 1,200 captives from the ill-fated Cuban invasion.
 Castro held out for $28 mil lion worth of tractors or heavy bulldozers and for the second time dispatched a group of pri- soners to the United States in an effort to keep talks alive.
