Russians Hear
Khrushchev
MaYVisitU. IN.

MOSCOW. Feb. % (AP)-
The Soviet government has ,et
the Russian people know that
Premier Khrushchev is thinking
Of a return visit to the United
Nations and the possibility Of
a meeting with President Ken
nedy while in the United States.
Films Of two Of the Presi-
dents news conferences were
shown on television here last
night. including newsmen's
questions to Mr.. Kennedy on
whether he would meet Mr..
Khrushchev If the Soviet Pre-
mier visits the u. N. General
Assembly opening next Tues
day. Mr.. Kennedy would only
reply that he hadn't heard yet
whether Mr.. Khrushchev was
coming.
While the showing Of the
films was an unprecedented
gesture. 1t was also the first
time that the Russian people
learned that a new Khrushchev
visit to the United Nations is
possible.
Such ideas are rarely put in
the public mind unless they are
likely to become accomplished
facts.
Mr.. Kennedy's statement
gave the Soviet public the i'm
preston that the initiative for
a visit is up to the Soviet Union
and that Mr.. Khrushchev
would be welcome in the United
States.
(Soviet diplomats in WASH
ington have been active in
spreading the idea that Mr..
Khrushchev would like to make
a visit, and diplomatic circles
have said they would not be
surprised If Mr.. Khrushchev
comes y the United States late
in Aprf1. when the Assembly
session will be winding up.)
TeleviSing Of the conferences
here also comedies with the
return Of United States Ambas-
sador Llewellyn Thompson
from talks with Mr.. Kennedy
in Washington. Unconfirmed
reports said Mr.. Thompson
may see Mrs. Khrushchev
Thursday.
The Ambassador is carrying
a message from the President
repeatedly expressing his full
confidence in Mr.. Thompson
and hope that talks between
the envoy and Mr.. Khrushchev
will result in better relations
between Washington and Mos
COW.
This would appear a move
to keep Soviet-American rela-
tions off the summit level. an
eventuality hard to avoid If

The judge, noting an April
1860 order Of the court requiring
the defendants to make plans
fer the admission of pupils in the
elementary schools of the county
without regard to race or color,
said such plans should be avail
able if and when the public
schools of Prince Edward are
reopened.
The court should be advised
in writing of progress made on
or before November Is by the
defendants, the judge said in his
most recent opinion on Prince
Edward.

McIlwaine said he was pleased
with the progress thus far, and
noted that the enumerators
should be winding up their task
in about a week. The board was
told that only one district, Buff

Placement Efforts
Negro Children
Placed In School
Out Of County
BY BEN BOWERS

Prince Edward Negro children
are leaving the county in increas-
ing numbers to get schooling
elsewhere.
Applications for transcripts
from Negro parents are exceed
ing the number received the past
two years when county public
schools were closed. T. j. Nell
waine, division superintendent,
said today.
McIlWaine noted however it
would be difficult to determine
from such applications Just how
many children are attending
school outside of the county since
most of the applications are for
high school students. In some
cases elementary school students
are not required to have such
transcript, while in others they
must have a certificate of some
kind saying what the last grade
was that they completed in pub
lie schools in Prince Edward.
Pupil Placement
A number of Negro pupils are
known to have enrolled in schools
elsewhere though details at this
time are still sketchy. At least
l6 pupils have been placed in
Springfield. Mass. and Berea,
Ky, by the American Friends
Service Committee, AFSC. a
Quaker organization which main
tanned an emergency project in
Prince Edward last year.

Editorial OF Note

The far left accuses the far right of
raising phony issues, and vice versa. Both
would do well to consider the obligations
imposed by the ideal of fair play.
Example: The arch-conservatives in
tone unctuously, "This is a republic, not
a democracy Let's keep it that way" The
implication is that trouble has overtaken
us because we have become a democracy,
not a republic. But the definitions of a
democracy and a republic are all but syno-
nymous. We use a republican form of
government to govern a free democratic
society. Ours is both a republic and demo-
cracv. That's how we should keep it.
Example: Conservatism seeks to set
up a fascist dictatorship" Far from being
true, this ignores the fact that true con-
servatives labor to prevent a wasting of
