See Edits, Page Two Offices in Graham Memorial Gendarmes Repel Leftist Rallies In Paris Plazas 25,000 Join Forces To Squelch Riots Against DeGaulle PARIS (UPD An army of 25 000 police Monday night frustrated leftist plans for a "silent" mass rally in defiance of President Char les de Gaulle. In one of the biggest shows of force in Paris in recent times, the government stationed helmeted riot police, mobile gendarmes and city patrolmen to block every ap proach to the huge Place de la Republique where the rally was to have been held. Tanks and armed cars were poised in the suburbs to assist the police if needed in an atmosphere made tense by the Algerian situa tion. March Silently The demonstrators, estimated by police at about 20,000, marched sil ently in large groups up the five big boulevards which converge on the square. At the police bar riers, they were turned away, and they marched off again without protest in an almost eerie silence. There was no violence. Other peaceful demonstrations were held in Marseille, Lyon and other big provincial cities all in defiance of a ban decreed by the interior ministry on orders of De Gaulle. The demonstrations by Commu nists and Socialists were called, along with a half-hearted 30-minute general strike, to protest the kill ing of eight civilians in rioting in Paris last Thursday. Rioted Daring Protest The rioting last week erupted during leftist protest demonstra tion's against violence caused by the Secret Army Organization (OAS), which is pledged to keep Algeria French. ' The right-wing OAS has stepped up terrorism with reports that French and Al gerian rebel negotiators are near ing agreement on independence for Algeria. The OAS showed its defiance Monday night by setting off a bomb -near the Justice Ministry. The plastic bomb wrecked the front of a building a block from the ministry; and injured one man. . Another half -day . general, strike was -ordered for Tuesday when the funeral of the eight riot victims will take place. Most of the vic tims were Communists, and the big French Communist party "hoped to get a turnout of at least 150,000 for the funeral. k "A ik French Guard In Funeral Of OAS Member ALGIERS, Algeria (UPI) Hun dreds of French troop and tio po lice reinforcements stood guard against violence Monday during a public funeral for a French army deserter who poined the Secret Army Organization (OAS) and was killed while trying to run o police roadblock. More than 8,000 Europeans walk ed in the funeral procession through the strangely quiet streets of Al giers behind the hearse carrying the body of ex-Capt. Phillippe Piv ain. Funerals of Europeans frequent ly have touched off indiscriminate widespread attacks against Alger ians. An army helicopter hovered over the city and police troops lined the route of the funeral pro cession. But there was no report of any violence. Most European shops and busi nesses were shut under orders from the extremist OAS which called for a general strike during the funeral. Pivian, son of a retired admiral, deserted from his French army post in Germany four months ago to join the OAS campaign against President Charles de Gaulle s sell determination program for Algeria. Pivian was shot and killed Wed nesday when he tried to crash through a police roadblock. OAS sympathizers marked (lie spot with flowers and gathered in menacing crowds since, ; stirring fears of violence during the funeral. Security forces carried out new raids during the day in search of suspected terrorists. It was the third such cperatioa' in Algiers in the past tire days.

Kennedy ar rived Monday for a week-long vis it in Indonesia where anti-American sentiment has flared in the dispute with The Netherlands over Dutch New Guinea. Anti-Americans had smeared walls and buildings in Jakarta with red-painted "Kennedy go Home" and other hostile slogans Sunday night. But less than four hours be fore his arrival a small army of painters wielding whitewash brush es covered up the signs along Ken nedy's motorcade route. Kennedy was greeted at the air port by Indonesian officials led by Atty. Gen. Gunawan, who will be his host during the visit. In a brief statement, Kennedy said he brought greetings from President K"iedy and the -American peor the Indonesian people and .aident Sukarno. The anti-American signs were believed to be the work of a Com munist youth group. Communists tried to disrupt Kennedy's visit to Japan, also. Authorities said tftey had no clue to the identity of the sign-painters. Lt. Col. Sukisno, deputy chief of the Jakarta war administration, said the signs were a violation of martial law and an investigation had been ordered. The U. S. Embassy, which has been under special armed guard since it was attacked by a mob of teen-agers on Feb. 5, declined to comment. A Jakarta Communist delega tion Monday submitted letters to the government and army to be relayed to Kennedy. The letters de manded that Kennedy declare the U.

CAMP There will be a planning meet f TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1962 Atlantic Storm Darkens Hopes For Glenn Orbit Gale-Force Winds Strike Canaveral During Refueling CAPE CANAVERAL (UPI) The Federal Space Agency said Monday it would attempt to launch astronaut John H. Glenn Jr. into orbit Wednesday morning despite a forecast for "marginal" weather in the Atlantic recovery zones. But Project Mercury officials held out the possibility of a last minute postponement if weather does not improve in the areas where Glenn's capsule is to land after it completes are, two, or three trips around the earth. Causing all the trouble was a forecast of possible increased cloud iness, high winds and rough seas in the recovery areas along part of Glenn's first orbit path across the Atlantic. Gale force winds and 10-foot waves churned up hun dreds of square miles of the ocean on this route. Sea and weather conditions must be as perfect as possible so that Glenn can be picked up by the re covery force when he comes down. Glenn, the Atlas booster, and the capsulet were "in a 'go con dition," the National Aeronautics and Space Administration said. The astronaut underwent a thorough physical examination Monday, the first of two he will have before he climbs into the capsule Wednesday morning for his flight. The decision to go ahead with the Wednesday morning target date was made during a mission review by Project Mercury offi cials on Cape Canaveral. At the same time, technicians began pouring more than 120 tons of high-grade kerosene fuel - into the 93-foot Atlas rocket whose job it is to -hurl Glenn into space at more than 17,000 miles an hour. At the cape launch site, the weather was the mildest it has been for a week, and the pros pects for Wednesday were fairly good. The weather bureau also held out hope that sea conditions may be come "sufficiently quiet by the planned launch time." The plan, weather permitting, is to launch Glenn between 7:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. EST Wednesday on a world tour of one, two, or three orbits. This meant that America's Mer cury man-into-space program, which has spent more than $400 million over a period of nearly four years, will possibly have to "shoot for a hole" in the weather to meet its goal of putting a man into orbit Wednesday. ing of the Freshman Camp for the coming fall.

Si Arm or Khrushy Might Attend Talks By Himself MOSCOW (UPI) Western dip lomats speculated Monday that Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrush chev will attend the Geneva dis armament conference even though President Kennedy has turned down his proposal for summit talks. The diplomats believed that Khrushchev, a self-styled cham pion of disarmament recognizes the propaganda possibilities of fered by the 18-nation conference scheduled to begin March 14. They noted that the Communist leader attended the United Na tions session in 1960 under similar circumstances. Khrushchev's proposal for the heads of state of the 18 nations to meet in Geneva was seen by some Western experts here as a Soviet bid to open up East-West negotiations on a broad range of international problems related to disarmament The experts did not rule out the possibility that a principal Krem lin aim was to forestall resump tion of U. S. nuclear tests in the atmosphere by keeping alive hopes for some settlement on a test ban treaty. Such tests could produce important military advances for the United States. Dramatist Schary To Visit Here Dore Schary, screen and Broad way producer and director, will be artist-in-residence at UNC for the week of March 1962. He is being brought here through funds from a newly-established an nual gift to the Carolina Playmak ers by an anonymous donor. Harry Davis, chairman of the department of dramatic art and director of the Carolina Plavmak- ers, said that Schary's time here would be spent "primarily with the students." Schary, producer-director of the musical hit "The Unsinkable Mol ly Brown" and "Something About a Soldier," currently showing on Broadway, wrote the show "Sun rise at Campobello" for the stage and later adapted it to the screen. Boy's Town He received the Academy Award for an earlier motion picture, "Boy's Town." Davis said that Schary's visit will enable "the drama students to have first-hand professional guidance. Educational theater is the major source for professional theater personnel," he said, "and it must respect and aim for the highest professional standards. The students need to be confronted with professional standards and requirements."

Complete UPI Wire Service enee Later Summit May Be Held Before June By DONALD MAY WASHINGTON (UPI) The United States has reached an in itial decision to reject Soviet Pre mier Nikita Khrushchev's propos al for a disarmament summit con ference next month but is leaving the door open for such a meeting later, it was learned Monday. The Kennedy administration will confer further with other govern ments to work out a final answer to Khrushchev's proposal for a heads-of-government meeting in Geneva March 14. Meanwhile, it became known that the initial attitude of administra tion officials is as follows: They welcomed the fact that Khrushchev's reply to a Feb. 7 suggestion by President Kennedy and British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan for a foreign ministers meeting on disarmament was posi tive and differed only on the levels of the talks. But they took the view that a disarmament conference at the summit which became deadlocked at the start could be a grave set back for disarmament prospects. The administration feels the role of heads of government should be confined to working out points which remain unsolved after ser ious negotiations and substantial progress by lower-level officials, rather than trying to tackle the detail of negotiations themselves. Two Conditions Noted As for a summit conference later, the administration appeared to condition any agreement on two factors progress by the foreign ministers and continued reduction of East-West tensions. The U. S. attitude appeared to be that bringing 18 national lead ers together would be the most cumbersome way of starting com plex negotiations. According to protocol, each lead er would have to make a formal speech. Protocol also would call for the speeches to be scheduled on separate days. The session could last for two weeks. There also is a feeling that in thus formal setting the national leaders would "freeze" their po sitions, meaning there could be no give and take bargaining. There was no word when an answer to Khrushchev's proposal might go out to the Kremlin, ex cept that it would not be Monday. Nor was it clear whether the United States alone, the United States and Britain, or some other combination of countries would dispatch the response. Beginning consultations with the United States on a reply to the Russian's summit proposal, British Ambassador Sir David Armsby Gore put his position this way: "I don't think it will be suitable that heads of government start this con versation. At a later date, maybe." bizarre, surrealist compositions. Special music reinforces the ma cabre "dream" atmosphere. The film won an Edinburgh prize and top prize at the Arcts Smalfilm Competition in Stockholm. "(Mother's Day" is a 22-min. short by the late James Broughton. "'Mother's Day recaptures, in sur realism, the egoccnetricity, sen suality and sadism of childhood in striking images and pictorial sym bols. Juxtaposing memory, fan tasy and document, it evokes an imaginative and ironic portrayal of childhood," said the film so ciety. Alexander Hammid s "The Priv ate Life of a Cat" completes the Cinema 16 program. Shown na tional on CBS-TV's Omnibus after being banned for commercial dis tribution, the picture humorously and tenderly explores love, -birth and growth in an ordinary cat fam ily and according to some critics, offers analogies with humans. n
