After Protest
SAIGON W)-Two bands of stu-
dents, demonstrating for unre-
lated causes, battled each other
and brawled through the streets
of central Saigon without police
hinderance for an hour late yester-
day.
Watching the melee, some West-
erners expressed the belief that
ambitious men were using, for
their own ends, the student move-
ments harnessed throughout much
of 1963 in united opposition to
Viet Nam President Ngo Dinh
Diem.
One faction demonstrated for
Tran Van Ly, a Roman Catholic
leader and former governor of
Central Viet Nam who is among
candidates for premier in a gov-
ernment of national union now be-
ing formed by the military junta.
Protest de Gaulle
The other followed an anti-
French line proclaimed by South
Viet Nam's current strongman,
Maj. Gen. Nguyen Khanh. Its
members carried banners calling
for the downfall of French Presi-
dent Charles de Gaulle and his
proposal of neutralism for South-
east Asia.
They clashed first in front of
the city hall. One group apparent-
ly considered the other was try-
ing to steal the limelight.
Fists flew and banners were rip-
ped down.
Police Tolerant
Riot police and gendarmes, who
once would have quickly cleared
the streets, looked on tolerantly.
The brawlers drifted from the
city hall to the area of the Sai-
persedgon central market. There
they dispersed reluctantly under
blasts from the horns of motorists
headed home from work.
Student demonstrations, forbid-
den in the closing months of
Diem's regime, have been a fa-
miliar sight here for weeks.

TUSKEGEE -Invoking a 10-
day-old fire safety ordinance, the£
mayor of an east Alabama town
yesterday turned away six Negroes
from a white school and set up a
new showdown with the federal
government.
Mayor James Rea of NotasulgeJ
told the Negroes their entry into
Notasulga High School would fill
the building above its capacity.
At nearby Shorter High, six oth-
er Negroes were admitted without
resistance. The 12 students wereE
ordered into the two schools by
federal court after a third former-
ly white school closed.
Students Leave
Thirteen students left ShorterC
High soon after the six Negroes
entered. Among the 13 were sev-
eral seniors. Six other students en-
tered the school, got textbooks and
then left. Several students were
reported to have said they would
not return to the schools as long
as the Negroes attended classes.
The normal enrollment at Shor-
ter for the first through the
twelfth grades is about 125. Yes-
terday's attendance was 77.
Normal high school enrollment
at Notasulga is 174.
Washington Efforts
In Washington, both President
Lyndon B. Johnson and officials
of the Department of Justice kept
in touch with the situation. It
seemed likely that the rejected Ne-
gro students would seek further
aid in their efforts to enroll at
Notasulga.
Press Secretary Pierre Salinger
said the President talked by phone
with Justice Department officials,
but declined further comment ex-
cept to say that the Justice De-
partment was handling the mat-
ter.
Meanwhile, in Montgomery, a
federal judge rejected yesterday a
petition to dismiss or modify his
temporary restraining order re-
quiring desegregation of Macon
County high schools.
The petition was filed with
United States District Judge Frank
M. Johnson, Jr. by the state board
of education and Gov. George Wal-
lace.
In Cleveland, fifty members of
the Congress of Racial Equality
(CORE) broke a moratorium on
demonstrations in Cleveland's
school integration dispute yester-
day.
LANSING P)-The State Senate
Tuesday voted to ask Congress for
a constitutional amendment as-
suring a right to offer prayers in
school.
Sen. Milton Zaagman (R-Grand
Rapids) said his concurrent reso-
lution was in reaction to the Unit-
ed States Supreme Court's deci-
sion against a state prayer in New
York last year.
The measure, which was sent to
the House for further action, asks
Congress to propose an amend-
ment or to call a convention to
add an article providing that "free
exercise of religion shall include
the right to offer prayers in pub-
lic schools."
Faces Opposition
In the face of opposition, Zaag-
man piloted his measure to vic-
tory on a show of 18 hands.
A record vote by name was
avoided on the sensitive issue, and
the negative vote was not tallied
because 18 votes carries any con-
current resolution in the 34-mem-
ber Senate.
In the down-to-the-wire battle
for votes, Sen. Charles Blondy (D-
Detroit) and William Ford (D-
raylor) bitterly attacked the Zaag-
man resolution.
Zaagman said he *as sponsor-
ing the resolution because he fear-
ed a trend toward atheism in the
United States.
Blondy said the fact that Zaag-
man introduced the resolution
"carries the implication that the
churches in Grand Rapids are fall-
ing down-that they need the
schools to do this work."
Back Plan
For State
LANSING (R) - The four Re-
publican members of the State
Apportionment Commission yes-
terday pledged to submit one plan
jointly for redistricting the Legis-
lature.
Former Gov. Wilbert Brucker,
a committee co-chairman and
spokesman for the Republicans,
signed the letter delivered to the
Supreme' Court chambers this
morning.
"Acting jointly, we intend to
submit a proposed plan of appor-
tionment of the Senate and
House," it said.
Tuesday, Ivan Brown (D-Iron
Mountain) submitted a plan keyed
to maintaining as many existing
districts as possible within the new
constitution's formula, which gives
four times as much emphasis to
population as to area.
Brown said' he also favors an-
other Democrat plan, which he
said will be submitted by members
A. Robert Kleiner (D-East Grand
Rapids) and Richard Austin (D-
Detroit.)
Brucker's letter said the Repub-
lican plan will be submitted "as
soon as possible to complete it."
Other Republicans on the com-
mission are William Hanna of
Muskegon, Ralph Huhtala of
Kingsford, and Alfred LaPorte of
Standish.
"This is not true," said Blondy.
"I commend th church people of
Grand Rapids. I have faith in
the parents of America's children.
Religious Training
"Let's leave all religious training
to the church and the home,"
Blondy said.
Zaagman fought down three sep-
arate attempts to kill or at least
sidetrack his resolution by means
of referral to a committee. Each
time a 16-14 vote kept the reso-
lution before the Senate.
Zaagman answered Blondy's
floor speech only by saying: "I did
not expect Sen. Blondy to get
into the Grand Rapids churches on
this-we'll leave it at that."
Court Ruling
Ford stood next to Zaagman on
the Senate floor and glared at
him, saying: "I don't believe Sen.
Zaagman has the foggiest notion
of what the Supreme Court of the
United States has ruled on this."
"I resent being put in the posi-
tion of someone using a political
whipsaw just to win favor with
a certain group," Ford said.
Sen. Basil Brown (D-Detroit)
an Episcopalian, said the Zaag-
man resolution had no meaning,
because "the U. S. Supreme Court
never has ruled against anyone's
right to pray anywhere."
"The position of the Supreme
Court is that you can't be com-
pelled to pray in a public school
where attendance is required."
Ministers Begin
Peace Meeting
For Malaysia
BANGKOK (M )- Foreign min-
isters of Indonesia, Malaysia and'
the Philippines got down to work
at their peace conference yester-
day under threat of a clash over
Britain's role in the area.
They were urged at a brief
opening session to use restraint in
handing the Indonesian-Malaysia
dispute that might lead to war.
The admonition came from For-
eign Minister Thanat Khoman of
Thailand.

Special To The Dailyj
WASHINGTON - Former Gov.
G. Mennen Williams reiterated1
his neutrality Monday in Michi-
gan's Democratic intraparty strug-
gles and observed that the party
is not badly split.7
"I think the Democratic Partyl
is broad enough to encompass the
farmer, the workingman and the
businessman," he declared, com-
menting on the apparent liberal-,
labor split in the party. "I don't
think there is class cleavage."
SHe said that he has talkedto

Mackie and Lt. Gov. T. John Le-
sinski in general terms about en-
tering the Democratic gubernator-
ial primary. However, he insist-l
ed, the decision to run against
announced candidate Rep. Neil
Staebler (D-Mich) was strictlya
theirs.
vo-day total includes at least two
Greek Cypriots and one Turkish
Cypriot killed.
British troops, patrolling the is-
land's truce, were moved into the
Paphos area in an effort to con-
tain any further outbreak of fight-
ing.
Violence in the form of two
bombs that ripped the United
States embassy in Nicosia Tuesday
night and the burning of two
American cars started the move
to airlift out any United States de-
pendents who wanted to go.
The embassy bombing capped
widespread demonstrations of op-
position to a British-American
plan for a peace-keeping Atlanticl
Alliance force on Cyprus.
A United States spokesman in
Beirut said any Americans wanting
to leave Cyprus now would have
to go by commercial plane. In all,
five planeloads totalling 572 per-
sons were sent to Beirut. There
were about 1,700 Americans on
Cyprus when the airlift started.
A high source in the government
of Greek Cypriot Archbishop Ma-
karios reiterated that Makarios
has termed the proposal to bring
10,000 troops drawn from NATO
countries to Cyprus as unaccept-
able.
