DISORDERS REPORTED:
Czech reformist lead
while Soviets gain co.
By The Associated Press
Deputy Premier Ota Sik, father
of Czechoslovakia's projected eco-
nomic ties to the West, resigned
last night, Prague Radio reported.
Sik has been in Belgrade, Yugo-
slavia, since before the Soviet in-
vasion of Czechoslovakia on Aug.
g21.
Prague, radio said President
Ludvik Svoboda accepted the re-'
signation of Sik, who was one of
the moving forces behind the
ouster of former President An-
tonin Novotny from his job as
Communist party chief in Janu-
ary.
Sik's economic policies aggra-
vated the Soviet Union and he was
reported to be on a list of persons
er resigns
neessions
whom the Soviet leaders do not
want in leading positions in oc-
cupied Czechoslovakia.
The move came as the govern-
ment readied a new censorship
law that reportedly includes strict
measures such as a ban on re-
porting nlews from 'abroad other
than official announcements and
a ban on reporting on persons,
meaning any possible arrests.
Soviet forces began to pull out
of some Czechoslovak public build-
ings Tuesday as national Com-
munist leaders yielded to their
demands.
The Soviet government news-
paper Izvestia last night said oc-
cupation troops in Czechoslovakia
have been ordered into cities
bordering West Germany because
of disorder there.
"In recent days, reactionary
forces have succeeded in stirring
up disorder in some areas on the
Czechoslovak border with WestI
Germany," the newspaper' said.
The article linked the reported
disorder with the "anti-Soviet
hubbub now taking place on the
banks of the Rhine."
In Prague occupation troops
withdrew from the headquarters
of CTK, the national news agency,
the radio station at Bratislava,
President Ludvik Svoboda's head-
quarters in Kradcany Castle and
most ministries.
Soviet soldiers still guard the
Ministry of Defense and the Min-I
istry of the Interior, which con-
trols the police.
In a related development, Sec-
retary of State Dean Rusk has
accepted the word of Soviet Am-
bassador Anatoly F. Dobrynin that,
his country does not plan an in-
vasion of Romania, the state de-
partment reported yesterday.

Nigeria to alow
aid to BiafranS
LAGOS W - Nigeria agreed yesterday to lift its block-
ade of secessionist Biafra temporarily and permit the Inter-
national Red Cross to airlift food and medicine to thousands
of starving civil war refugees starting tomorrow.
Until now, the federal government had threatened to
shoot down unauthorized flights into the breakaway republic.
The Red Cross canceled flights for a time last month after
the Nigerians fired on its planes.
A federal Ministry of Information statement said Red
Cross planes based on the Spanish off-shore island of Fernari-
do Po could fly relief supplies to air strip Annabelle in the
secessionist - held Uli - Ihiala "_l_-
area for 18 days.
The Red Cross agreed, in turn, ollat
to "immediately use its influence"

into an emergency hospital in the
eastern Iranian town of Ferdous
after Saturday's big earthquake.
The building was leveled by an
afternoon shock Sunday.
Saturday's initial quake'claimed
1,500 of Ferdous' townspeople, but
officials said the one Sunday was
more intense there.
The death toll throughout east-
ern Iran was officially estimated
at 11,000 to 11,600 but unofficial
estimates put it at 14,000.
Meanwhile, a strong earthquake
struck northwestern Turkey on
the Black Sea coast yesterday.

persons were killed and 200 were

his campaign today, starting in
Chicago, scene of violent dis-'
orders during the Democratic
Convention last week.
An aide said the move was
not designed to capitalize on
the issue of "law and order,"
probably a key question in
Nixon's battle with Vice Presi-
dent Hubert H. Humphrey, the
Deiocratic nominee.
"Chicago was always on the
schedule for the kickoff trip,"
Nixon's aide said. "Illinois is
one of the big key states we are
zeroing in on sand Chi ago Is
the place to start."
He said the city was not listed
when Nixon's itinerary was an-
nounced from his Florida vaca-
tion headquarters because "the'
Illinois organization wanted to
make the announcement."
Nixon is scheduled to be in
six cities in the next five days,
Chicago, Sanj Francisco, 'San
Jose, Calif., Houston, Oklahom
City and Pittsburgh. A member
of his staff said he might make
a stop in ,Washington on his
his way back to New York City.,
Meanwhile Humphrey confer-
red with his campaign manager,
Lawrence F. O'Brien, yesterday
on the organizatiodn and sched-
ule for launching his cam-
paign next week.d
As the two, and other ad-
visers, met in what Press Sec-
retary Norman Sherman de-
scribed as informal attire around
the Vice President's kidney-
shaped swimming pool, Phil-
adelphia was confirmed as the
first stop when formal cam-
painging starts Monday.
Humphrey' plans to fly to
Philadelphia fromi Minnesota
next Monday after his week
rest in Waverly, Minn. Other
stops are planned later that day,
probably in Boston and San
Francisco, before he heads to
Los Angeles and Texas next
Tuesday.
Sherman said Humphrey does
not plan to attend today's meet-
ing in Washington of the Na-
tional Security Council, of which
he is a member.
O'Brien, who- is doubling as
dharman of the Democratic
National Committee, spent the
night in the pine-paneled Hum-
phrey homestead guest house.
In Miami, third party presi-
dential candidate George Wal-
lace said yesterday he may
scrap plans for a national con-
vention for his third party and
hold state conventions where
the laws require nomination by
convention.
Wallace announced he was
considering the move when he
arived in Miami for a rest.
Wallace predicted he will de-
feat Democratic presidential
nominee Hubert Humphrey and
GOP choice Richard Nixon in
his third party drive for the
White House.
