Mr.. Lefkowitz, who has the
active support of Gov. Nelson
A. Rockefeller and other g. O.P.
leaders, declared he has acted
without interference during
five years as the States top
law officer and would continue
to do so if elected Mayor.
Mayor Wagner said bossism
has been eliminated in the
Democratic Party here since
the September 7 primary cleo

ming mates won nomination
over a ticket backed by the
city's Democratic leaders.
Mr.. Lefkowitz blasted the re-

which $4,000 was pledged to

MY main concern is to help
in any way I can to maintain
our public school system of ed
ucation for the children of this
country. I realize that without
the public school system with
high standards of education we
cannot maintain morality and
patriotism.
Forced racial integration
has destroyed standards of ed
ucation in the Nations Capital,
and has driven thousands Of
white children from the public
schools" he said.
More than 80 per cent Of the
children now in the public
schools in Washington are Me-
gros, he noted.
He said the change in the

school integration in 1854 re-
fleets "a virtual exodus Of white
people from the Nations Cap
ital. They have moved into adj
joining States to avoid the re-
suit of racial integration in
Washington" The city's popu-
lation now is more than So per
cent Negro.
The Communists have sought
to promote racial strife to de-
stroy the public school system,
Mr.. Perez said.
Their greatest success to date
is the effect of integration on
the public schools, which
speeds their destruction and
the opportunities Of education
of our white youth"
The Jews, too, are back of
this conspiracy, Mr.. Perez
charged, adding that Zionist or
ganiZations are working hand
in-hand with the Communists.
"The Federal Government is
using its coercive power to carry
out the Communist Zionist con-
spiracy to destroy our public
school system" he said.
"What will the white people
be up against without our pub
lie school facilities?"
Mr.. Perez was reported origi-
nally to be the House District
Subcommittee's counsel for the
1856 investigation of Washing
tons public schools, but the

pursue prosecution and resist
defiance:
A petition for a rehearing
must be filed by June 80. The
Government will fight it If
it is made. The order Of the
Subversive Activities Control
Board becomes final 10 days
later - on July 10. The party
win then have 30 days-until
August 9-to file a statement
with the Justice Department
listing names, addresses and
aliases Of officers and members
over the past year.
The registration statement
must also give a complete ac-
counting of the party's finances
and list all printing presses in
the possession or control of the
party or its members.
Mr.. Kennedy pointed out
that the party as an organiza-
ton cannot plead self-incrim-
nation for its members. That's
why he sees victory in a court
test on the Fifth Amendment
issue as far as the party is
concerned.
If the party fails to register,
the officers have 10 days to do
so-or face fines and a maxi
mum Of five years imprison-
ment. They can be expected to
bring up the Fifth Amendment
question.
AS for the members them
selves, Mr.. Kennedy empha-
sized that prosecution would
focus on the active rather than
the passive members, on the
ones who knowingly and pur-
posefully advocate the over
throw Of the Government by
force.
That was the gist Of the Su-
preme Court Interpretation Of
the membership clause of the
Smith Act, which provides pen
alties for knowing membership
in the party. The court, in up
holding the membership clause
in q decision last Monday, en-
phasized that the Government
must prove that the member
actively advocated the over
throw of the Government.
Eve will only present cases
where there is ample evidence
of a specific intent to over
throw the Government" Mr..
Kennedy said. "The burden Of
proof is heavy and rightfully
so. We have to lean over back
wards to be sure we are not
interfering with the right Of
people to express themselves.
If individuals are violating the
law by the standards we have
set up, we will go after them"
Mr.. Kennedy emphasized
that the Governments concern
centered on the foreign-domi-
mated aspects Of the party.

Following Is the teIt of
Attorney General Robert F.
Kennedy's statement regard
ing the Supreme Courts de-
cision on Communist Party
registration and the pGTty's
defiance of it:
After 10 years Of litigation,
the Supreme Court has held
that the Communist Party Of
the United States is directed,
dominated and controlled by
the Soviet Union.
For this reason this is a mo-
mentous decision. The control
of the Communist Party in the
United States is no longer a
matter Of charges and accusa-
tions, but q matter Of judicial
finding. The Communist Party
Of the United States has had its
day and, in fact. its years in
court.
Case Should Be Studied
The Communist Party Of the
United States has made every
effort to promote a public i'm
age of a legitimate political
party. sincerely interested in Is
sues for their own sake. How
ever, in fact, it always has been
under the discipline Of a for
eign country and has been a
tactical means Of advancing
both the short and long-range
interests of the Soviet Union.
1t is this point which ! be-
lieve is of crucial Importance.
The case and the evidence on
this point that was presented to
the court. should be studied by
all on-Communist govern
ments and groups, such as
teachers, students and labor
organizations around the world.
What the Communist Party
breaches and what it practices
is for all to see.
It is a characteristic of the
world Communist movement to
permit no opposition to be
voiced - even by individuals
much less by an organized
group. In the United States and
in other free countries, dissent
and opposition is not only per-
mitted but is recognized as an
important ingredient in the ad-
vancement of the national well
fare and protection of the peo-
pies individual rights.
So. it is not the espousal Of
the Communist doctrine or any
other doctrine that is at issue.
This would cause no concern
and, in fact, would evoke little
interest in this country. The
American people would treat
the precepts and teachings Of
this kind of group with ridi-
cule. However, such is not and
has not been the case.
The Communist Party as it
exists in the United States and
in other countries is not a legi-
innate political party. 1t is a

Prince Andrew, youngest men,
Der Of Britain's royal family
made his first official public
appearance today Graded In
his mothers arms.
He was brought out on the
palace balcony at the climax
of ceremonies marking the
birthday Of his parents, Queen
Elizabeth and Prince Philip.
The Queen rode from the
palace this morning in bright
sunshine to review 1,7o0 Of her
finest fighting men at the an
nual ceremony Of trooping the
color. - . =,
It was the 10th time since
her ascension to the throne
that she had taken part in this
spectacle marking the Sover-
eign's official birthday. Her ac-
tual birthday was April 81,
when she was IS.
Queen Rides Chestnut
Riding her chestnut thor
oughbred, Imperial, she sat al
most immobile for more than
an hour while troops of the
brigade Of guards, the massed
bands and the household cav
airy went through the solemn
ritual.
This year the standard or
color Of the Second Battalion
Of the Scots Guards was
"trooped" - marched slowly
past the assembled ranks.
The Queen wore Q bright red
tunic, black skirt and black
tricorn hat for the ceremony,
She and Prince Philip, who
also took part as q colonel Of
the Welsh Guards. wore the
dark green sashes of the Order
Of the Thistle, as a mark Of
respect for the Scots Guards,
It was q double birthday

would violate Fifth Amendment
guarantees against self-incrim-

If the party itself refuses to
register, officials will have to
do so. And If the officials re-
fuse. the members have go days
to register Individually. At each
step, Mr.. Kennedy emphasized,
the Government will take the
necessary legal action to get
a court decision who must

The Attorney General made
it clear that while legal battles
lie ahead, the "momentous de-
cision" has now been made.
"The control of the Commu-
mist Party in the United States, "
he said, "is no longer a matter
of charges and accusations but
a matter of judicial finding.

United States has had its day
and, in fact, its years in court. /"

agreeing to accept the techni-
clans appeared to pose no con-
ditions that could not be met.
He declined. however, to am
pity If this meant the tech
nicians would be given the full
power demanded by the Cuban
leader.
A source close to the COM
mittee said, on the other hand,
the technicians would not
make any decisions and would
report back to the committee
on their negotiations to trade
500 tractors for prisoners taken
by Castro troops in the abortive
invasion.
-, Would Advise Cubans
The same source, which de-
clined Identification, said the
technicians would have au-
thority to alter the mix of
various, type tractors" proposed
by the committee, subject to
its later approval. It also would
advise Cuban authorities on
what best uses could be made
Of the various tractors.
A translation of the Cuban
Premier'S cablegram was cir
culated among committee
members today for confirma-
ton or rejection, or mere ac-
ceptance without either.
Even before Premier Castro
agreed last night to receive
the technicians, the committee
Of private citizens had an
nounced plans for the four men
to fly from Miami Monday in
anticipation he would confer
with them.
The committee, which has
pledged to raise So to $3.5 mil
lion by public subscription to
provide tractors and agricul-
tural implements to go with
them, proposed to give so
crawler types for land clear
ance and $50 general purpose
farming types.
Castr0's Demands
But Premier Castro's cable
gram said in demanding the
technician team be given full
power to negotiate: 'Your COM
mittee cannot decide by itself
what kind Of equipment Cuba
is going to accept as compen-
.sation for all the material dam
age done by the aggressive
action launched from the
United States against our
country"
He also renewed q PROPOSE
ton to exchange invasion cap
tives' for Cubans held in the
United States and elsewhere,
adding that ''in this case. Cuba
would be willing to surrender
all her claims for material in
Identification"
The Tractors for Freedom
Committee has insisted it has
no control over Cubans here or
elsewhere. Direct diplomatic re-
lations between governments Of
the United States and Cuba
have been broken off.
