leaders"
The Soviet letter made 1t
clear early in its text that de-
spite the difficult battle going
on In the negotiations with the
Chinese, it did not contemplate
breaking off the negotiations.
The Soviet letter was just as
full Of accusations against the
Chinese as was the Chinese
letter Of a month ago packed
with accusations against the
Russians.
Both documents apparently
were aimed at carrying the
battle into the world Commu-
mist movement in anticipation
of some time having to battle
out their struggle for party
domination at q world Com
munist congress.
Mr.. Mikoyan has a large
hand in saying where Kremlin
money is spent. Also, as in the
case Of Cuban Prime Minister
Fidel Castro last December, in
soothing irate feelings.
Mr.. Mikoyan went to Ha-
vana after the Cuban crisis last
fall in an attempt to unruffle
Mr.. Castro's feathers when
Premier Khrushchev ordered
Soviet missiles withdrawn.
Up to now Mikhail A. Sus-
Low, an expert in Communist
Party theology, has been the
chief Soviet negotiator in the
talks with the Chinese.
It was possible Mr.. Mikoyan
went to the meeting at the re-
quest of Premier Khrushchev
for a fresh look at the begged
down negotiations on whether
the Khrushchev policy Of
peaceful co-existence or Pc
kings stand Sor violent revolu-

A per cent Of the Negro pupils
were in desegregated schools.
In the other compliant"
States, Mr.. Morland said, the
percentage was Sill.
He said that State legisla-
lures have passed at least 379
laws since 1854 in attempts to
legally avoid compliance with
the Supreme Court ruling.
Placement a Weapon
"A basic method for keeping
desegregation in public schools
at token levels has been
through the adoption Of pupil
placement laws" he said.
In actual operation, Mr..
Morland contended, these laws
"have been used with the as
sumption that initial assign
ments could be by race. Negroes
have been assigned to all
Negro schools and whites to
all-white schools, even though
ostensibly on criteria other
than race"

will depend upon the efforts to

Despite the confidence Of the

familiar with past elections
here.
There now are about $500
registered voters in Cambridge,
about Ito Of whom are

The Negro leadership vigor-
ously objected to the charter
amendment because it did not
desire to establish a national

posed solutions of racial con-
flicts to popular vote. It insists
that the city council should
enact a simple ordinance which
need not be subjected to a

assurance that Indignation

Negro voters in support Of the
