THE MICHIGAN DAILY PA End Food Strike; )thers Refuse Jail Bonds '(0 Rebels Promise Equality For European Minority EVIAN-LES-BAIN, France ()- The Algerian rebel regime prom- ised yesterday that the European minority in Algeria will be able to live in "liberty and equality" when the territory becomes inde- pendent from France. A spokesman for the Algerian delegation at peace talks here added that the rebel government is seeking "the most objective, most just and most reasonable" solution for the question of. the million Europeans in Algeria. But he warned that they could not expect to continue their priv- ileged position "reminiscent of the colonial regime." Kennedy Sees Military Heads In Conference WASHINGTON OP) - President John F. Kennedy conferred for 45 minutes yesterday with the Joint Chiefs of Staff and seemingly ex- pressed confidence in them by ar- ranging for group pictures. The Joint Chiefs made an un- announced visit to the White House one day after Secretary of Defense Robert S McNamara ex- pressed' complete confidence in the nation's top military commanders. Until then, McNamara had not replied to critics of the Pentagon's role in considering plans for the Cuban invasion. The Joint Chiefs had been un- der fire, particularly from Sen. Al- bert Gore (D-Tenn) who had called for their removal. White House Press Secretary Pierre Salinger declined to com- ment on the visit, but the circum- stances, including the posing for pictures, seemed to point it up as Kennedy's answer to their critics. Those on hand included Gen. Lyman L. Lemnitzer, chairman of the Joint Chiefs; Adm. Arleigh A. Burke, Navy; Gen. George H. Decker, Army; Gen. Curtis LeMay, Air Force and Gen. David M. Shoup, Marines. Shoup,nwhile not Sa member of the Joint Chiefs, meets with them. LeMay, deputy chief of the Air Force, will become its chief in July when Gen. Thomas D. White retires. Gen. White is out of the country and could not attend yes- terday's meeting. At a news conference, McNa- mara took full responsibility for any errors the Pentagon might have made in connection with the abortive invasion of Cuba by anti- Castro rebels. He said any errors were not to be charged to others. The spokesman, Abdelmajid Ridha Malek, was replying to a statement yesterday by Louis Joxe, head of the French delega- tion, expressing concern about the future of the Europeans, Who are outnumbered about. 10 to 1 by Al- geria's Moslems. Joxe warned that if a satisfac- tory solution to the minority ques- tion could not be worked out with the rebels, France would consider partitioning the country. The Eu- ropeans would be regrouped in the partitioned area and protected by France. Malek did not go into further detail about guarantees for the Europeans. However, he reiterated the rebel position that the Euro- peans would be able to choose be- tween Algerian citizenship or liv- ing under a special statute gov- erning foreigners. He said it would be difficult to work out an arrangement for Eu- ropeans to have dual French and Algerian citizenship. Joxe proposed yesterday that French citizenship could be re- tained by all Moslems and Euro- peans in Algeria. HESTON: Star Leads Oklahoma Picketing OKLAHOMA CITY ()-Acade- my, Award winning movie star Charlton Heston led about 80 demonstrators in downtown Ok- lahoma City yesterday in a peace- ful march against segregated eat- ing establishments. Heston, carrying a cardboard sign, was greeted when he arrived downtown by a crowd chanting "freedom." Then came applause and shouts of welcome. He smiled, shook hands and chatted with passersby. He said he was prepared for some hostility at the start of the march but none developed. The 80 demonstrators who marched with him included about 50 Negroes. Three 18-year-olds marched as anti-demonstrators, one carrying, a sign that read, "is Beverly Hills integrated?" The protest march against seg- regated lunch counters met with antagonism only once when a man told Heston, "go back to Holly- wood." Say Spain Jails200, .Denies Act LONDON (R)P - More than 200 people were reported arrested in Spain following discovery of a plot to assassinate Gen. Francisco Franco last night. There was no immediate offi- cial confirmation of the report in Spain. But Spanish security police, pre- paring for Franco's trip through Madrid next mid-week to open a new session of Parliament, have ordered building owners along the route to give names, addresses and political affiliation of persons who would be in the buildings when Franco passed by. The London Sunday Dispatch said the arrests were made in the mountain province of Andalusia after a "propaganda visit" there by the Spanish chief of state. It said Franco's return route to Madrid was suddenly switched on advice of police. The paper said Spanish officials have denied any arrests have been made, "but on presidential orders counter moves to the plot havej been kept secret."

MAIN at LIBERTY WE HAVE TYS THING CORE ORIGINATES MOVE: Snowstorm Leads to 'Freedom Ride' . . Have you ? (. By ARTHUR EVERETT Associated Press Feature Writer NEW YORK - One stormy day last December an interstate bus stalled on the New Jersey Turn- pike and was snowbound for 15 hours. Indirectly, this wintery ordeal spawned the "Freedom Rides" and the hot springtime blast of racial violence now searing the South. Negro Leader Aboard the marooned bus was James Farmer, Negro founder and leader of the Congress of Racial Equality. With him on his inter- rupted trip he carried a biography of Mahatma Gandhi, India's great exponent of passive resistance. He also carried the burden of a Supreme Court decision a few days earlier outlawing segregation in interstate bus terminals. In his 15 hours of forced im- prisonment, Farmer read and mused and came. up with a blue- print for the freedom rides, a passive, integrated effort to crack another of Dixie's racial barriers. Target Date 1954 Supreme Court decision out- lawing school segregation. "All this was planned without any knowledge that President John F. Kennedy and Soviet Prime Minister Nikita S. Khrushchev were going to meet," says CORE's. slim, white dark-haired commun- ity relations director, Marvin Rich. Refute Charge Thus CORE seeks to refute the charge by Sen. James O. Eastland (D-Miss) that the rides were de- signed to embarrass Kennedy at his forthcoming Vienna talks with Khrushchev. CORE was founded in 1942 by Farner, formerly of the staff of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. He got his idea from a sit-in demonstration staged by a group of Negroes against an all-white Chicago restaurant. CORE claims 25,000 contribut- ing members, most of them white, who send in money from time to time, but take no active part in its work. 2,500 Members In addition, there are 2,500 ac- tive members-about half of them white - in 50 locals across the country. The latter, the spearhead in testing segregation, make such Unancial contributions as they are able, occasionally paying spe- cific dues on a local level. For the fiscal year ending May 31, CORE's budget is $233,000 and Rich says it just about will be met. This pays staff salaries, ball bonds, legal fees and other expenses. Not Expensive The freedom rides have not been expensive. The riders have not chartered any buses, but paid regular fares on scheduled lines. Rich calls CORE the "cutting edge" of the move for racial in- tegration. It may loosely be de- scribed as the action arm of those fighting for racial equality, while the NAACP is the legal arm. The 31-year-old Rich speaks of warm cooperation occasionally ex- tended by and to the NAACP. But he adds: Independent "They handle their problems, we handle ours. We are two indepen- dent organizations." Egstland and other Southern critics have charged that CORE harbors, if it is not actually led by, persons with records as Com- munists or fellow-travelers, to which CORE has replied formally: "The accusation is ridiculous and despicable."
