STUDENTS EXPRESS SOLIDARITY:
Poles Protest in Nine Cities;
Government Blames 'Zionists'

WARSAW (i)-Antigovernment
student demonstrations spread
from the capital to eight Polish
cities yesterday.
Police in Poznan, the steel city
that rioted in 1956, reportedly-were
flailing at several thousand march-
ers with clubs.
Anti-Semitism
PAP, the Polish press agency,
carried the text of a resolution
issued by Foreign Trade Ministry
workers saying: "We demand that
our authorities stop tolerating the
activities of the reactionary Zionist
elements in the political, economic,
cultural and social life of the
country."
Tuesday the government fired
three officials, believed to be Jews,
whose children were accused in
the press of leading the riots.
Israel Sympathizers
Blame was also directed at stu-
dent members of a Jewish club
which was accused of being "known
,for its manifestations of joy in
connection with Israeli, successes
during its aggression against the
Arab countries."
Some Western observers believe
the unrest will be used by the re-
gime of Wladyslaw Gomulka to
purge Jews from important posi-
tions. Many have been accused of
refusing to go along with the gov-
ernment's condemnation of Israel.
Informants told of demonstra-
tions in seven other cities.
Their aim was to express soli-
darity with students at the Uni-
versity of Warsaw who fought po-
lice for three days during demon-
strations against the closing of a
popular play that might prove em-
barrassing to the Russians.
Reliable sources said the police
in Poznan waded into lines of stu-
dents chanting "the press lies"
and burning copies of state con-
trolled newspapers in front .of a
statue of Adam Mickiewicz, the
19th century Polish poet whose
play "Dzaidy" was ordered off the
stage in January.
The students charge that "the
press lies" seemed to be directed
at the government's attempt to
blame the unrest on hooligans and
"Zionists." This line was stressed
again yesterday.
In Cracow, authorities were said
to have used force in dispersing a
parade of some 3,000 marchers at
Jagiellonian University, Poland's
oldest institution for higher educa-
tion.

Showing
Indicative of Dissent
PRAGUE () - Czechoslvakia's
leaders are trying to reassure their
Soviet bloc partners they will not
abandon them for a more Western
oriented stance regardless of the
current drive toward liberal re-
form at home, informed Com-
munist sources said yesterday.
But, the sources said, the loyalty
pledge has not so far dispelled
distrust among Czechoslovakia's
allies toward the process the party
calls "Socialist democratization."
"Except for Yugoslavia, news-
papers in the other Socialist coun-
tries do not print a word about
our free discussion -here," said
one party informant.
"These people remain. highly
suspicious of what we are doing
here."
With press censorship all but
lifted, there have been various
calls for a more independent
Czechoslovak role in world pol-
itics.
Yugoslavia's nonaligned position
was mentioned and there have
been suggestions for cQmplete neu-
trality.
Rumors revolved around a new
foreign policy path that might
be outlined in the party's action
program which the Central Com-
mittee will discuss later this
month.I
But a party expert said: "It is
not even clear whether foreign
policy will be mentioned in the1
program of action. If it is, it will
just stress our close ties with the
Soviet Union."
Asked whether Czechoslovakia
might be considered an independ-
ent stand like Romania, he re-'
plied: "What have they gained
by this idiotic position?"
The source did not exclude at-
tempts to improve relations with
the West, however, and mentioned
coordinating efforts for closer ties
with the Common Market.
The source also said any great-
er flexibility in foreign politics
was not likely to ihclude such
steps as restoring relations with
Israel.,
There was no foreseeable pros-
pects either of diplomatic ties
with West Germany unless the
Bonn government thoroughly re-
vised its attitude of nonrecogni-
tion toward East Germany, he
added.
-Associated Press
SENATOR ROBERT F. KENNEDY told reporters in Washing-
ton that he was "reassessing" his position as to whether or not
he'll run against President Johnson for the presidential nomin-
ation.

The International Typographi-

previously struck both papers.
The Teamsters Union and Pho-
toengravers Union also are on
strike against the News.
Teamsters at the News are vot-
ing on an amended offer, with
results due to be tabulated Fri-
day by the State Labor Mediation
Board.
The heavy turnout of about
106,000 Republicans in New
Hampshire, who gave Nixon 79
per cent support at the polls in
a virtually uncontested election,
gave striking indication that Re-
publicans are sensing that John-
son is in political trouble and
may be vulnerable in November.
Kennedy clearly sensed the
same thing. But McCarthy showed
no inclination now to let Kennedy
push him aside and claim the
torch of dissent within the Demo-
cratic party.
Few political strategists were
saying that because Johnson won
over McCarthy by a scant 3,527
votes, the party is likely to dump
the President.
Johnson got 48 per cent of the
vote, McCarthy 42.
But they were saying that the
22,810 votes McCarthy racked up
against Johnson's 26,337 indicates
substantial dissent among Demo-
crats to the way the President is
conducting not only the Vietnam
war but the Presidency itself.
M cC a r th y 's headquarters in
Washington was claiming that the
Minnesota senator actually got
more votes than Johnson.
They contend that there were
4,640 write-ins for him on the
Republican ballot, where they
said Johnson got none. That
write-in vote will not be known
for at least a week.

In Rhodesia
SALISBURY (M) - Rhodesia's
white minority government said
~yesterday it has reprieved 35, of
113 black Africans sentenced to
death by.hanging.
The reprieves followed the ex-
ecution Monday and last week of
five Africans, the first put to
death since Rhodesia unilaterally
declared itself independent of
Britain in November 1965.: The
five were convicted of murder.
There was worldwide condem-
nation of the execution and at-
tempts to organize U.N. Security
Council action against Rhodesia.
Appeals for clemency came from
all over the world, including one
from Pope Paul.
Among the reprieved were four
Africans, convicted of grenade
attacks and setting buildings on
fire, who were to have been put
to death Monday.
Five other Africans also were
reprieved Monday. The govern-
ment said 85 cases were at a stage
where they could be reviewed and
of those 47 in all had been re-
prieved. It included in these fig-
ures three men whose death sen-
tences were commuted last year.
The Rhodesian government had
previously hung five black Afri-
cans in spite of their receiving re-
prieves from QueenElizabeth II.
The executions heightened the,
pressure on Prime Minister Har-
old Wilson to use force against
Rhodesia. So far Wilson has in-
dicated that he does not plan to
