Kennedy asked Congress yesterday for unprecedented powers to safeguard Negro voting rights, including referees named to rule on voter qualifications as soon as a registrar's impartiality is challenged in federal court. Other federal action, no matter how speedy and how drastic, Kennedy said, can never correct abuses of local and state power to curtail Negro civil rights.

MOSCOW-PEKING QUARREL: China Hits Russia with Cowardice' TOYK O (')-Red China charged scornfully today that Soviet Pre- mier Nikita S. Khrushchev's fol- lowers are "cowardly as mice." The Chinese dared the Russians to be men enough to lay the Mos- cow-Peking quarrel before the court of world Communist opinion. In a heavy new propaganda barrage at the Kremlin, Peking accused Moscow of cracking the whip over world Communist lead- ers. It said the anti-Chinese Com- munist countries used powerful stations to ja Peking broadcasts to prevent people from hearing Mao Tse-Tung's side of the argu- ment. The violent attack broadcast by the New China News Agency re- jected any servant-to-master rela- tionship for Red China and the Soviet party. NCNA, quoting a long article in Red Flag, theoreti- cal journal of the Chinese Party, recalled that Peking had publisned statements giving the views of Khrushchey, Pravda and the So- viet premier's European support- ers. Khrushchev's Followers But of the Khrushchev follow- ers, it said: "Cowardly as mice, they are scared to death. They dare not let the people of their own countries see our articles for themselves and have endeavored to impose a water-tight embargo. They are even using a powerful station to jam our broadcasts to prevent people from listening." This was the second belligerent article to appear in Peking this week, clearly indicating the split between Moscow and Peking is deepening, despite Kremlin at- tempts to soft-pedal the dispute. The Whole Thing Peking accused Moscow of pro- voking the whole thing and then refusing to tell the Chinese side. "Friends, comrades, if you are men enough, step forward, let each side in the debate publish all the articles in which it is criticized by the other side, and let the people in our own countries and the whole world figure out and judge who is right and who is wrong," challenged Peking's Red Flag. "That is what we are doing. And we hope you will follow our ex- ample. We are not afraid to pub- lish everything of yours in full. We publish all the masterpieces in which you rail at us. Then, in reply, we either answer them point by point, or we answer the main points. McNamnara, S 0ays Flights 'Not Hostile' Report No Penetration Of North America WASHINGTON (AW) - Soviet long-range reconnaissance planes have been flying over United States aircraft carriers in the At- lantic and North Pacific during the past four weeks, Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara said yesterday. The latest look-see was made over the supercarrier Forrestal last Friday southeast of the Azores, McNamara told a news conference. But he said in none of the in- stances did the Russian planes show any hostile intent. In the case of the planes which flew over the Forrestal-two four- engine planes two hours or so apart-they were trailed by United States interceptor planes on their approach to the carrier, and on the trip home. , Defense Chief The defense chief was asked if any of the reconnaissance craft had operated over the North American continent. He replied with a flat "No!" McNamara said flights over naval craft by short-range and medium range Russian planes are not unusual but that overflights by long-range planes are new. He acknowledged that "we per- iodically overfly Soviet vessels," describing the practice as a "per- fectly legal operation over inter- national waters." Wouldn't Be Hard Navy spokesmen said it would not be difficult for the Russian planes to find the carriers. Asked why he waited this long to announce the flights, McNa- mara said the information came in slowly and it was decided to wait. "The Soviet aircraft apparently flew from bases in the USSR in two flights of two aircraft each. Over Twice The first two passed over the carrier task force at 9:08 a.m., one remaining at about 30,000 feet "while the second one came in underneath the 2,000-foot over- cast and overflew the Forrestal twice," McNamara said. In the case of the Forrestal, he said, the Navy had announced when that carrier would leave the Mediterranean after being replac- ed there by the carrier Enterprise. Incidents in the North Pacific, the Navy said, occurred at points near the known Soviet air bases on Kamchatka Peninsula. Civil Rights program to Congress,< added: To Free Forces "It is necessary instead to free the forces of our democratic sys- tem within these areas by prompt- ly insuring the franchise to all citizens, making it possible for their elected officials to be truly responsible to all their consti- tuents." The President also called for federal help in ending school seg- regation and requested a four- year extension of the Civil Rights Commission with expanded duties. "The program outlined in this message should not provide the occasion for sectional bitterness," Kennedy said. "No state or section of this nation can pretend a self- righteous-role, for every area has its own Civil Rights problems." Civil Rights advocates in Con- gress generally hailed the program as a step in the right direction. Many said it didn't go far enough. To End Filibuster The defeat of an effort to make it easier to end filibusters in the Senate will make passage, of Civil Rights bills more difficult, a num- ber of Civil Rights supporters said. Typical of Southern reaction was that of. Sen. A. Willis Robertson (D-Va) who said: "As far as Virginia is concerned, we can get along very well with- out any of that new legislation." White House officials acknow- ledged to reporters there is a good chance a Southern filibuster might result when the program comes up for Senate action. They insisted, however, thatthe proposals are realistic and have a good chance of being enacted. The legislative requests are ex- pected to be submitted within 10 days or so as three separate bills. Kennedy said slavery has van- ished in the century since the Emancipation Proclamation, but "progress for the Negro has been too often blocked and delayed." He said, "Equality before the law has not always meant equal treatment and opportunity." GOP Leaders Hit Programs WASHINGTON (MP - Congres- sional Republican leaders de- nounced the Kennedy administra- tion's fiscal plans yesterday as "dangerously wrong" and said United States prestige is being risked with concessions to Russia in the nuclear test-ban talks. Rep. Charles A. Halleck of In- diana, House GOP leader, said President John F. Kennedy's new budget could be cut upwards of $10 billion without endangering national security or the economy. Urges Action By Congress NEWARK ()-Atty. Gen. Rob- ert F. Kennedy urged Congress yesterday to enact legislation deal- ing with literacy tests as a voting qualification in order to provide the franchise for "hundreds of thousands" of Negroes. President John F. Kennedy pro- posed such legislation today in a special civil rights message to Congress. "The executive branch is doing all it can," he told a news con- ference in the office of United States Atty. David M. Satz Jr. "Now it's up to the legislature and we hope they do something about it." He said the government bas no objection to an "objective" test, given "across the board" to both Negro and white prospective vot- ers. He said there are counties in the South in which Negroes outnum- ber whites but none are eligible to vote in a national election. In the same counties, he said, whites who have reached. only second grade can vote. Yesterday's short meeting with Satz was one of about 3O the attorney general has held witn United States attorneys in other parts of the nation. He said the purpose was to check on progress in routine cases by the attorneys, the FBI, the Bureau of Narcotics and other Federal law enforce- ment agencies. Other topics Kennedy touched on included wire-tapping. He said that although the legislation he supports would include "new weapons" -for the FBI, it actually restricts the Department of Jus- tice in such matters THE RAVEN GALLERY of FINE ARi :\ presents I Miss JO MAPES, ! v > of the VAUGHN MEADER !

IN THE SPRING WEEKEND OFFICE a'' T Red Chinese Rebuff Efforts, To Mend Communist Camp By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER Associated Press Analyst WASHINGTON-Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev has suf- fered a sharp rebuff in his efforts to patch up his quarrel with the Chinese Communists. But officials studying the latest flood of words from Moscow and Peking are unwilling toyconclude that a reconciliation has now become impossible. ; What is evident at the moment is that the recent show of friendly gestures in the two big Communist capitals has been over- run by the bitter compilation of charges against Soviet' leaders, including Khrushchev. They =range from accusations of "double dealing" to complaints of betrayal of basic Communist - doctrine, topped off with a demand for an apology for alleged past mistakes. Angry Tones By contrast with the angry tone and bitter content of the Chinese Communist statement published in the Peking Peoples Daily, Khrush- chev in his Moscow speech Wednesday stuck to the call for unity among the world's Communist parties, a position he emphasized at a January meeting of Communist groups in East Berlin. American leaders are watching the development of the dispute closely at this critical and perhaps climactic stage because of its potential impact on Soviet policies toward the West. If the differences are papered over in some manner to restore Soviet leadership over the whole Communist world, including Red China, for at least a temporary period, then it is assumed here Khrushchev might feel more confident in pursuing a more belligerent policy toward the Western allies on such issues as Berlin and dis- armament. Open Rupture If the dispute-continues unabated or leads to an open rupture in Russian-Red Chinese relations, then Khrushchev may feel com- pelled to pursue more conciliatory policies toward the Western allies. A week ago signs began to appear that Soviet and Red Chinese leaders might be moving toward conciliatory high-level talks. There were even rumors in diplomatic quarters abroad that the talks would shortly be held in some relatively neutral place such as Outer Mongolia. 1 .1 if world News Roundup* By The Associated Press NEW YORK-A Federal Grand Jury yesterday indicted Olin Ma- thieson Chemical Corp. and two other firms on charges of con- cealing kickbacks of more than $150,000 on sales of drugs to Viet Nam and Cambodia.
