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. World News Roundup By The Associated Press MANILA-Filipino Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo died yesterday nearly seven decades after he led bare- foot Philippine peasants in war for independence, first against Spain and then against the United States. LOUISVILLE-Three Louisville cigarette manufacturers are oper- ating on shortened schedules be- cause of slackened market de- mands for their products. The four-day week went into effect last week. One official said he felt the reduction in sales was tem- porary and that demand will climb again. * * * NEW YORK-Rallies by tobacco and loan issues added some ex- citement to the New York Stock Exchange yesterday, but all-over trading showed little change. Dow- Jones averages showed 30 indus- trials down .26, 20 rails up 1.09, 15 utilities down .05 and 65 stocks up .33. RAG-TIME AMERICANS EVACUATED-Fraser Wilkins, United States am- bassador to Cyprus, and his wife, left, say goodbye yesterday to Americans boarding plane at Nicosia airport as the first plane- load of United States personnel were evacuated. Jets Shuttle Americans Of f Cyprus to Lebanon NICOSIA (R) - Violence continued in the westernmost part of embattled Cyprus yesterday while an airlift took American women and children to safety in Beirut, Lebanon, 160 miles away. A gun battle lasted all afternoon in the second day of fighting in the area of the coastal town of Paphos. At least one Greek Cypriot Justice Unit Investigates Rea's Action Uses Fire Ordinance To Stop Admittances By The Associated Press 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. Most Unbelievably FUNNY a They are Hilarious was killed and officials said the tw Ex-Governor Denies Breach1 In Democrats 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 H i g h w a y Commissioner John 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.
