Sister City Bangkok
The Thai official said, how
ever, that the most interesting
event Of the conference for him
had been the announcement
that the District and his city
of Bangkok would become af-
filiated under the sister city
program.
Abdullah YaSsin, an honor
airy justice Of the capital city
of Malaga, said the conference
had opened a world of possi-
bilities for me-"
He said he was most i'm
pressed. by former President
Eisenhower and Senator Hum
phrey, Democrat of Minnesota,
both of whom addressed the
conference. He said both men
had stressed the human ele-
ment in municipal administra-
ton.
Mr.. Emmott, whose city has
102, 900 inhabitants, said he
had learned at least as much
from casual conversations in
Washington as I did from the
formal talks" He added that
all cities seem to have baSically
the same problems.
Amazed at Plans
What comes out of all of
these conventions" he said,
was a necessity for good city
planning. When I see how far
Washington has gone with its
plans to revitalize the city, I'm
amazed"
Prof. A. M. Klein, burgo-
meister of Meppel, the Neither
lands, said he had attended six
similar conferences in Europe,
but none with such scope.
IT found out here that the
people Of Bangkok have the
same problems with their ca
mails as we do, and maybe some
Of their solutions are better
than our"
Only two criticisms were
voiced by the delegates inter-
viewed yesterday. They said
they were disappointed because
President Kennedy, suffering
from a strained back, could not

Council plans to decide next
month on an application for
a $40 million apartment de-
velopment which has pro-
duced bitter opposition in the
town.

citizens committee has been
campaigning to prevent the
project-which includes a
dozen 10-story buildings
from locating Oh a i1-acre
tract adjacent to the West

And last Friday more than
$50 citizens turned up to
state their position at a
public hearing held on the
proposal Jy the town council.
Two Requests Mode,
At issue are two requests
one to create a new coming

There was not a cloud in the
sky. The temperature was hugging
the high seventies. The slightest
zephyr of a breeze came in from
the south (hardly from Miss that
sent artist-colored leaves dancing
gently in the path of marchers, as
they thread from door to door.
For the most part, it was re-
ported, householders were recep-
tive to the appeal for funds by
the "Marchers". Many of them had
been expecting a call.
The March" had received city
wide announcements, including the
press and pulpits of community
churches. And George Rice, the
popular editorial newsCaster for
WCCO, had very favorably plugged
the Councils effort in behalf of the
Freedom Riders.
Those working with the project
had every reason to believe that
this would be the most effective
of the Councils March" series.
Cracked one bystander at the
south Minneapolis location: Il see
more cameramen than marchers."
The remark was not too far re-
moved from truth, for there were
cameras from all of the major TV
stations, as well as from one of
the metropolitan dailies.
The Freedom Riders themselves
were on hand, and the stage set
for a community display of sup
port behind the Freedom Riders.
