Hemisphere
Talks Open
In Uruguay
Peruvian President
Airs Latin American
Capital Market Plan
By The Associated Press
PUNTA DES ESTE, Uruguay-
The inter-American summit con-
ference opened yesterday behind
closed doors, hoping to find some
answers to the many economic
problems of the 230 million people
of Latin America,
As the session began, President
Fernando Belaunde Terry of Peru
announced a plan to check the
flow of capital from Latin Amer-
ica.
He said the presidents of Latin
America are planning a hem-
isphere-wide common stock mark-
et to provide an outlet for do-
mestic capital and to attract new
capital from industrialized na-
tions.
One of the major obstacles to
agreement at the conference was
the Latin American desire to
spend Alliance forProgress dollars
anywhere in the hemisphere. Now
i those dollars must be spent in the
United States.
Lincoln Gordon, U.S. assistant
secretary of state for inter-Amer-
ican afairs, told reporters Presi-
dent Johnson might give the La-
tins their answer in the closed
door sessions.
Another vexing point arose
from Latin demands for greater
share of U.S. markets on a pre-
ferential basis - meaning special
tariff' concessions.
Gordon conceded that the in-
dustrial United States and lesser
developed Latin America natural-
ly figured to collide.
Johnson hoped to nail down
agreement for a common market
in Latin America that will inte-
grate the nations' economies and
dampen trade rivalries.
But he was expected to give
i only tranquilizing answers to
Latin American demands for more
aid beyond the $1 billion a year
of the Alliance for Progress and
permission to spend aid dollars
somewhere other than in the
United States.
Latin countries voluntarily as-
sumed responsibility for estab-
lishing the common market and a
working group finally reached a
patched-up compromise on the
preamble to the presidents' final
summit statement.
The United States wanted the
preamble to touch on the matter
'r-of hemisphere security, principal-
ly security from Communist in-
filtration. It is supported by Bra-
zil and Argentina although other
nations have been dead set
against any mention of political
considerations, for their own do-
mestic reasons, and want to con-
fine the preamble to economic
agreements.
South American members of the
Latin American Free Trade As-
sociation talked about inviting the
Central American common market
to share an Aug. -15 meeting in
RAsuncion, Paraguay.
In addition to economic ques-
tions, the conference has been
marked by demonstrations and
disagreements over the U.S. stand
on Vietnam.
The heads of the Roman Cath-
olic and Evangelist churches
asked President Oscar D. Gestide
of Uruguay, permanent president
of the summit, to impress the
need for peace on Johnson and
ask him to use "all possible meas-
ures" to get it.

an labor unions tried to stage a
24-hour general strike but it
failed to ignite. Most of the coun-
try's life went on as usual. A

Schools in South Ask
Delay in Integration.

WASHINGTON 0'P)-Six Louisi-

Court Justice Hugo L. Black yes-

six Southern states.
The March 29 ruling by the U.S.

school boards said.

SAIGON -- South Vietnamese
government leaders are consider-
ing a plan to remove civilians
from much of the northernmost
province, Quang Tri, because of
the growing menace of Communist
forces in the area.
In Washington a Senate in-
vestigating committee expressed
concern over the drains on the
Atlantic fleet made by the Viet-
nam war.
The idea of transporting Viet-
namese civilians to safer territory
cropped up a week ago after Com-
munist troops had stormed into
Juang Tri City, the provincial
capital 20 miles south of the Demi-

litarized Zone, and held it for sev-
eral hours.
Civilians Given Choice
The civilians would be given the
option of moving into North Viet-
nam-which borders Quang Tri
Province at the 17th parallel-or
being resettled under government
supervision farther south.
The area then would be con-
sidered a full war zone, and any-
one caught there by the allies
would be considered an enemy
and subject to treatment as such.
The Vietnamese source acknowl-
edged, however, that even if Sai-
gon's government okayed the idea,
American help would be needed

World News Roundup

By The Associated Press
MOSCOW-Soviet space pion--
eers predicted yesterday new man-
ned space flights-after a gap of
more than two years. There were
hints of cosmonauts probing deep-
er into space than before.
At a Kremlin meeting cele-
brating the sixth anniversary of
his achievements as the first man
to make a space flight, Yuri A.
Gagarin said he and other cos-
monauts "are making ourselves
ready for new starts."
Another cosmonaut, Alexei A.
Leonov, the first man to walk in
space, predicted that new Soviet
spaceships would carry more than
three men andl leave near-earth
space for probes farther-out.
HONG KONG-Reports from
Red China said yesterday that
supporters of President Liu Shao-
chi > ave a grip on at least seven
provinces.
Provincial broadcasters in east-
central China called on supporters
of party Chairman Mao Tse-tung
to unite against his enemies led
by Liu.
In the opinion of Western ana-
lysts in Hong Kong, this indicated
that Mao and his heir apparent,
Defense Minister Lin Piao, face
plenty of trouble in trying to
root out the opposition in the hin-
terlands.

NEW YORK-An international-
ly famed Chinese violinist emerged
dramatically from refuge here
yesterday, and said he fled his
Communist homeland beneath the
fearful spur of Red Guard terror-
ism.
"I spent 103 days in a dreadful
hideout for devils and demons and
underwent what is too painful to
describe," said the defector, Ma
Szu-tsung, who has been granted
asylum with his family in this
country.

for transporting the people.
No known approach has been
made to U.S. officials. Some field
commanders reportedly favor the
idea.
Worried About Fleet
Senate preparedness investiga-
tors in Washington contend the
war in Vietnam has left the U.S.
Atlantic Fleet short of trained
manpower, ships, airplanes and
ammunition.
Secretary of the Navy Paul H.
Nitze replied that the fleet "is and
has been capable of execution of
all its contingency assignments."
The Senators conceded that "the
Atlantic Fleet is still a formidable
and efficient fighting force."
Atlantic Ships Borrowed
Their censored report, made
public Wednesday by the Senate
preparedness investigating sub-
committee, said the naval require-
ments of the Vietnam conflict may
increase and cannot be handled
as "short-term emergency de-
mands."
The Atlantic fleet has been sup-
porting operations in Southeast
Asia with meri, ships and aircraft,
the report said, and this has re-
duced its capabilities. The extent
of the reduction was censored.
