Javits To Present
'~~1Amendments
Hopes To Protect Demonstrators
Against Excessive Police Brutality
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON (IP)-Sen Jacob K. Javits (R-N.Y:) urged yester-
day that the Senate put into the civil rights bill provisions to pro-
tect civil rights demonstrators against what he termed police brutality
and excesses.'
"These excesses have in luded the use of police dogs, cattle prods,
and even tear gas bombs on peaceful demonstrators, and have set
white policemen against Negro
demonstrators in a way that is
an affront to the conscience of the
nation," Javits said.

Strive for
Districting,
Solution r
LANSING (R) - At least four
different versions of new congres-
sional districting were before the
legislature yesterday as both
houses hurried to meet the reap-
portionment crisis.
A panel of federal judges has
ordered Michigan to redistrict or
r lold at-large elections Nov. 3.
Lt. Gov. T. John Lesinski had
his plan, crossing the boundaries
of four counties, introduced in
each house under Democratic
sponsorship.
Sen. Haskell Nichols (R-Jack-
son) introduced a bill identical to
a measure passed by the Senate in
1962 but subsequently killed.
Sen. Farrell Roberts, (R-Pon-
tiac) introduced a bill based on
the present districts, and empha-
sized it is a starting point, expect-
ed to be amended to approach
equal distribution of population
among districts.
Reps. James Folks (R-Horton),
and Roy Spencer (R-Attica), in-
troduced two bills, to be used by
House Republicans as "vehicles"
for drafting a new plan.
One of the bills would allow for
the parties to nominate a candi-
date for Congress from each of
the state's 19 districts at a con-
vention, this year only.
The other bill calls for a gen-
eral primary Sept. 8-the date to
which Secretary of State James
Hare proposes to shift the pri-
mary now scheduled for Aug. 4-
and sets a nominating petition
deadline of July 28.
Javits, in a speech, said he
would offer three amendments to
the civil rights bill.
Start Court Action
One would permit the Attorney
General to initiate court actions
to end discrimination in public
facilities owned by state or local
governments. The bill, as passed
by the House, would permit the
Attorney General to intervene in
behalf of individuals and organ-
izations bringing such court ac-
tions, but would not authorize him
to initiate them.
Another-would make local gov-
ernments liable along with their
police officers and officials for
damages resulting to individuals.
At present only thepolicemen or
officials may be sued and Javits
said it often was impossible to
collect damages won in court.
A third amendment would im-
pose criminal penalties on offi-
cials who refused to provide nor-
mal protection in civil rights dis-
putes.
Javits said these penalties
would apply "to those who mali-
ciously perform, under color of
the law" such acts as subjecting
persons to physical injury, unnec-
essary force during arrest, unlaw-
ful restraint, or unlawful violence
by other parties.
Poorly Prepared
As a result, Sen. Gaylord Nel-
son (D-Wis.) said, proponents of
the House-passed legislation are
'too poorly prepared to fight a de-
fensive war on the line-by-line
details of this bill" to counter
what he called "false propaganda"
spread by foes of the measure.
In obvious reference to the flow
of anti-bill mail which many sen-
ators have been receiving, Nelson
said in many ways, the enemies
of civil rights are much better
organized than supporters" of the
bill.
Mail Unfavorable
Sen. Philip Hart (D-Mich.) says
his mail from Michigan presently
is running against the civil rights
bill but he will support it regard-
less.
In the last week, he said, he has
received 139 letters from the state
in support of the bill and 168 op-
posed to it.
Asked if he believed the Michi-
gan mail. was representative of
the feeling in the state, Hart said
he had no way of knowing.

The International Student Con-'
ference (ISC) was established in
1950 when a number of national
unions of students found that
they could no longer work effec-
tively with the International Un-
ion of Students because of its
partisanship and political bias.
The founding members were the
national unions of students fromt
,21 European and North Ameri-
can countries who met in Stock-
holm in the First InternationalE
Student Conference to institute a
framework for international coop-
eration.
These unions have met almost
yearly since that time and the
number of national unions partici-
pating has grown steadily from thet
original 21 to the present 80.
Briefly stated, the essentiall
principles of the ISC are as fol-
lows:
New Military
Programs
For, Vietnam
WASHINGTON W)P) - Defenset
officials yesterday reported hope-
ful signs for success in a cam-
paign to get South Vietnamese1
forces to increase training for vi-,
tal night fighting' against the
Communists.1
They said greater emphasis on
night combat training - long
urged by United States military
advisers-started with the advent2
of the new premier of South Viett
Nam, Maj. Gen. Nguyen Khanh.
Officials indicated they do not
yet have statistics to show wheth-
er this stepped-up night training
has been. translated into more
hunting-and-killing expeditions
against the Communist Viet Cong
guetrillas after nightfall.
That's when the Communist
guerillas have been most active,
attacking villages, terrorizing, pea-
sants and sometimes executing
local government officials as ob-
ject lessons.
American advisers in the past
have been critical of what they
said was a tendency of the South
Vietnamese forces to withdraw
into strong points at night and to
go after the Viet Cong in daylight
when the Communists often had
melted away into the jungle or
rice paddies.
The latest figures reported by
the U.S. command in Saigon are
"very encouraging" on the extent
of night training of Vietnamese
regulars, civil guardsmen and
self-defense corpsmen, officials
said.
At all Vietnamese national
training centers, they said, 42 per
cent *of recent tactical training
has been at night.
For non-commissioned officers,
they added, this training has ac-
counted for 50 per cent of the
time
By comparison, it was said, the
U. S. Army devotes about one-
fourth to one-third of its tactical
training to night operations.
-Participants must be the free-
ly elected leaders of their nation-
al unions and these unions must
represent the majority of the stu-
dents of their countries;
--The Conference is neither a
permanent "union" nor an "orga-
nization," but simply a meeting-
ground for the students of the
world;
-Any action by the Conference
must be based on the "principles
of cooperation" adopted at each
conference, and will only be con-
cerned with problems that direct-
ly affect students (this takes 'n-
to account the fact that a free
society is the prerequisite for a
free university);
-All actions will be universally
adaptable and devoid of partisan-
ship.
Fundamental, But
These principles are fundamen-
tal and have never been altered
since the inception of the Con-
ference. However, the growth of
the ISC from a European to a
worldwide assembly of studerts
has brought about an evolution in
the nature of the problems with
which it must deal.
The activities of European and
North American student unions
are essentially "syndicalist." These
unions are concerned with the ma-
terial welfare of their students,
with educational opportunities, ob-
taining more scholarships for stu-
dents and the like.
The student in these countries
is but a part of a well-educated
community and his role in the
political life of the nation is rela-
tively minor. A basic principle of
these unions is that of "apolitic-
ism," which can be understood
to mean abstention from any par-
tisan or one-sided political activ-
ity, or as abstention from any
political activity whatever.
However, the problems of stu-
dents in underdeveloped areas are
quite different. In most Asian,
African and Latin American coun-
tries, students are the major edu-
cated group within the commu-
In most of these countries it is
the genuine responsibility of- the,
student to undertake what we
would call "political" action, rang-
ing from stands on social prob-
lems, such as agrarian reform, to
direct involvement in political par-
ties and even in insurrections.
To provide a framework for the
cooperation of students whose roles
differ in this way has not been
an easy task. But the ISC's flex-
ible structure has permitted the
incorporation of elements which
would not fit within a unitarian
association.
The ISC has declared a re-
sponsibility of the student to de-
fend and uphold the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights, to
maintain academic autonomy, so-
cial justice, the basic freedoms,
and the cause of peace.
The method of fulfilling these
responsibilities is left to the in-
dividual national union accord-
ing to its particular circumstances.
The South African Union (NUS-
AS) will fight against apartheid,
that of the Dominican Republic
(FED) fought against the Trujillo
dictatorship, while the Canadian
Union of Students will try to ob-
tain a full measure of social jus-
tice within the educational sys-
tem of Canada.
Obtain Aid For
Trainee Plans
The National Science Founda-
tion announced in Washington
yesterday a $250,000 grant to the
University to support a new foun-
dation program of graduate
traineeships in engineering.
The grant, which is the third
largest among grants totalling $6
million, will permit the establish-
ment of 51 traineeships at the Uni-
versity.
nity and are therefore at
forefront of social reform.
Political Students
MOSCOW () - The Soviet
Communist Party yesterday called
for a meeting of the world's Reds
for a final showdown with the
Chinese Communists.
A 10,000-word official party
statement in Pravda charged that
the Chinese Communists were try-.
ing to split the world Communist
movement.
Publication of the statement
signaled the Kremlin's resumption
of public polemics with Peking
and indicated the Soviets had
given up any attempt at com-
promise.
Banished
Reports have spread in diplo-
matic circles that the Russians
want the Chinese read out of the
movement and banished to a
Communist limbo.
The last time the Kremlin
forced such a denunciation on the
rest of the world's Communists
was when-under Stalin-it oust-
ed Yugoslav President Tito and
his League of Communists. This
was a failure and Moscow had to
retreat and make friends with
Belgrade again.
There has been reluctance by
some Communist parties to take
a public stand on the Moscow-
Peking split, but the Soviet Party
is believed to have the votes nec-
essary to blackball the Chinese.
Hungarian Stand
Hungary's Communist Party
yesterday accused the Commun-
ist Chinese of "weakening the
unity of Communist countries and
helping imperialism against the
socialist world."
In its reply to a long series of
Chinese 'attacks, the Soviet Party
accused the Chinese of creating a
danger to the Communist move-
ment and of trying to create a
breach between the Soviet people
and the Soviet Party and govern-
ment.
The reply was actually a speech
delivered Feb. 14 by Mikhail Sus-
lov, chief theoretician, in a long
speech at a secret session of the
Central Committee of the Soviet
party.
fver since the speech was de-
livered, debate has raged both
within the Soviet Party and in
Communist parties in other coun-
tries as to when the reply should
be published. Leaders here and
in other party organizations rec-
ognize" that once the battle -was
publicly joined, a major split in
the world Communist movement
would result.
Toe decision to publish evident-
ly was reached after the Chinese
began a new series of attacks late
in March, continuing them to the
present hour.
Confidence Vote
Pravda said the Central Com-
mittee had unanimously voted its'
entire confidence in Premier Nik-
ita, Khrushchev and his "political

the building of a Communist :
ciety in the U.S.S.R., at ensuri
the victory of the cause of pea
democracy, national independen
and socialism, the strengthenh
of the cohesion of the Marxi
Leninist parties.'
This seemed aimed at dispelli
reports abroad that Khrushcl
was in trouble with his own pa
ty at home.
As for the decision to publ:
now, Pravda said it was taken b
cause "our further silence woi
do no good. but would encoura
the attempts of the Chinese les
ers to disorganize the ranks of t
international Communist mov
ment, to weaken it as the ma
revolutionary force in the strt
gle against imperialism."
