sat down next to her she said:

But within the next five min

trains scattered in all directions.
When the uniformed man
finally stopped the car, he
stared straight ahead in @ mild

affirmatively.

AS Mr.. Kennedy approached
his office. the young people
trampled through the lockwood
hedges surrounding the nearby
rose garden and swarmed onto
the porch Just outside the office

Mr.. Kennedy kept smiling
and shaking hands throughout
the episode. When he got into
his office, a policeman shut
the door with a determined
slam. Mr.. Kennedy turned, in
side the glass portal, to grin
back at the milling students.
The youngsters were in a
rollicking mood long before Mr..
Kennedy appeared to address
them. They gave forth with
noisy cheers for the American
Field Service, and engaged in
group singing.
Mr.. Kennedy, not knowing
what was to come, opened his
remarks to the group, repre-

saying You are not the quietest

BY JOHN BARRON
Star Staff Writer

CAMBRIDGE, July ia
White and Negro negotiators
early today agreed to let
prominent Maryland lawyers
mediate the racial conflict
which hes terrorized Cam
bridge.
The agreement promised the
town a needed respite from
violence and the kind of DEM
onstrations which President
Kennedy warned against when
he discussed Cambridge at his
press conference yesterday.
The pact was achieved after
some of the negotiators watched
a savage street brawl which
began with a traffic mishap.
White men fought soldiers and
State troopers outside the Ma
tional Guard armory where
peace conferences were being
conducted.
In the fighting. soldiers were
momentarily outnumbered and
overpowered. A National Guard
lieutenant and a cameraman
were knocked down. Six men
finally we're subdued and ar
rested after a 10-minute brawl.
New Group to Act
Attorney General Thomas B.
Finan announced at l:25 am.
that the Maryland State Bar
Associations newly formed
committee on human relations
win arrive here not later than
Saturday to begin mediations
in the racial crisis.
Negro leaders said they
would suspend further demon-
strations indefinitely while the
committee composed of seven
of Maryland's most noted law
yers and jurists seeks a settle
ment.
Il think that If anybody can
break the log jam here, they
can" Mr.. Finan said.

sized special concern about

ingly dangerous situation" in
Cambridge.

continued:
They have almost lost sight
OF what the demonstration is
about. You have an increas-
ingly dangerous situation. You
could have violence any night
You have 400 National Guards
men there now.
II am concerned about those
demonstrations. 1 think they
go beyond information, they
leo beyond protest, and they

however, that some people
