(ยง)-Three major civil rights leaders, shoved into single file by Mississippi high- way patrolmen, resumed James H. Meredith's 'march against fear." yesterday. The march, picking up new members as it straggled along U.S. 51, started at the spot where - shotgun blasts felled Meredith, 33, who cracked the racial barrier at the University of Mississippi in 1962. The leaders were Martin Luther King, Jr., head of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference; Floyd McKissick, director of the w Congress of Racial Equality; and Stokely Carmichael, new chair- man of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. "We have made a national call for people to come from all over the United States," said King. "This is the time for a great con- 4 frontation. The place, the issue is squarely before the conscience of the nation." In Jackson, Gov. Paul Johnson urged "the people of Mississippi to ignore completely these exhibi- tionists and stay away from this march." Meredith, a controversial figure in Mississippi, said he started the march on the theory that if he could walk safely through the state, Negroes who live in Mis- sissippi could feel that they could register to vote in safety. "I shall return," Meredith swore from his hospital bed yes- terday as King pledged to make his march through Mississippi "bigger than Selma." Audrey James Norvell, captured minutes after the shooting, was taken handcuffed yesterday before a justice of the peace, who set bond at $25,000 and ordered him held for grand jury action. Norvell waved a preliminary hearing after saying he had hired two Hernando lawyers. Not Usual DeSoto County Prosecutor Ross Franks said "This is not the usual case. It is not the usual assault and battery with intent to kill. It is a situation of national import- ance." Norvell's attorneys said their next step would be to file a writ of habeas corpus because they feel the bond is excessive and violates his rights. Norvell ignored reporters' ques- tions on the way to the hearing. Dressed neatly and wearing sun-1 glasses, he raised his hands- locked before him in steel bracelets -to wipe his forehead with a handkerchief. The shots which felled Meredith on a Mississippi highway brought congressmen and civil rights lead- ers to his bedside yesterday en route to Mississippi on behalf of voter registration. Gregory Walks Negro comedian Dick Gregory retraced Meredith's trek backward to Memphis yesterday, starting south of the bloody spot where Meredith was felled from ambush. State and local police moved along U.S. Highway 51 in front and behind Gregory's group. "If one shot from the bushes can frighten a whole nation," Gregory said, "we're in trouble." E El Replaces Mc trh Against redith Fear' 4> Chances for East-West Talks End Ministers to NATO Take Stand Against Conference Proposal BRUSSELS (/)-Key ministers of the North Atlantic Treaty Or- ganization, led by Secretary of State Dean Rusk, yesterday brand- ed as too hasty any NATO ini- tiative now for an East-West con- ference on European security. They emphasized, however, that cautious and continuing efforts should be made to improve East- West relations. The attitude of the ministers, meeting at NATO's spring con- ference, torpedoed a Danish pro- posal calling for a conference be- tween the NATO and Warsaw Pact nations. The latter are now meeting in Moscow. Common Interest Rusk told the ministers that the West shares a common inter- est for peace with the Soviet Un- ion, but cautioned that Allied sol- idarity is the main ingredient. The discussion on European se- curity came about after the min- isters became bogged down on the status of French troops in West Germany after France with- draws its forces from the NATO military command on July 1. But in a rare note of harmony between Washington and aPris, French Foreign Minister Maurice Couve de Murville echoed Rusk's remarks. He said he agreed that there should be "no hasty ap- proach" to seeking lasting Euro- pean security and added "every- thing should be done with cau- tion." Individual Nations Couve de Murville said the problems of an East-West detente was not a matter for the Warsaw and North Atlantic pacts to deal with, but instead it was the busi- ness of individual European na- tions. He said that he himself was aiding in this effort through a continuing series of official visits to East European nations, and added that French President Charles de Gaulle's trip to the Soviet Union June 20 should be seen in this context. West German Foreign Minister Gerhard Schroeder's views join- ed those of Rusk and Couve de Murville when he said "NATO as an organization could not proper- ly take up an active political role toward the East bloc." He added that "one should avoid giving the Warsaw Pact more weight by rec- ognizing it as a partner in nego- tiations." NATO, the German foreign min- ister said, "should be used to pre- pare and harmonize Western pol- icy toward the East bloc." SAIGON (M)-Buddhist opposi- tion to the military regime rose again ;esterday in the far north. A general strike crippled Hue and troops broke up a budding dem- onstration in Da Nang with tear gas grenades. In Hue, United States military advisers were threatened by both Vietnamese troops and civilians as they tried to drive through the streets. Soldiers pointed their guns at the Americans when they tried to remove Buddhist altars cluttering the streets. The Ameri- cans turned back. The next step in the Buddhist campaign to bring down the mili- tary regime of Premier Nguyen Cao Ky may be announced to- day, when the Buddhist Institute holds a news conference. Cold Shoulder The Buddhist militants have cold shouldered the regime's de- cision to add 10 civilians, includ- ing moderate Buddhists, to the 10-man military junta. They may decide to take to the streets again in the violent sort of dem- onstration that plagued Saigon and other cities last month. Also expected today is an an- nouncement by the Electoral Com- mission, named by the military re- gime to arrange for the election Sept. 11 of a Constitutional As- sembly to draft a constitution. In the war, North Vietnamese regulars came out of hiding and attacked a military camp of the U.S. 101st Airborne Division be- fore dawn. The enemy was driven off into the hills and jungles about 260 miles north of Saigon leaving 77 dead, a U.S. spokesman reported. were en route to fight the Com- demonstration. The troops routed munists. the demonstrators'with tear gas. Tri Quang instructed his fol- lowers to remove their household altars from the streets tempor- arily today to allow the troops to move through. U.S. military advisers ran afoul of the altars, however, when they tried to drive through the crowd- ed streets. U.S. spokesmen said in three incidents, South Vietnamese sol- diers pointed their guns at Amer- ican officers when they tried to remove the altars from the paths of their vehicles. The Vietnamese troops were brought in last week to put down dissident elements in the city, but many are sympa- thetic to the Buddhist militants. At Da Nang, about 50 miles southeast of Hue, Vietnamese soldiers came up quickly when about 10 monks and a group of their followers tried to begin a Games As in Hue, the people of Da Nang also brought out their household altars into the streets. There followed a game of put- and-take. The soldiers removed the altars to the sidewalks. As soon as they left, the people would come out and put the altars in the streets again, then run as the troops re- turned. About 100 household altars were placed on the road leading from the downtown section of Da Nang to the U.S. airbase, but traffic moved around them. At the same time, most shops in Da Nang closed, but it could not be learned if an order for a general strike had also been is- sued for the city by the militant Buddhists.

Meredith Shooting May Speed Work on New Civil Rights Bl WASHINGTON UP)-Some gov- ernment officials said yesterday they believe the shooting of James H. Meredith will help spur action on the administration's new civil rights bill this year. Atty. Gen. Nicholas Katzenbach told a Senate hearing that enact- ment of the measure is "absolute- ly essential" to deal with such acts of violence. Separate Action A move developed in the House to try for separate, expedited ac- tion on one part of the bill that would make it a federal crime to interfere forcibly with anyone en- gaged in the exercise of his con- stitutional rights. Katzenbach told newsmen that if this section were low now, Mer- edith's assailant would be subject to a possible maximum penalty of 10 years imprisonment and a $10,- 000 fine. Vice-President Hubert H. Hum- phrey and House Speaker John W. McCormack (D-Mass) expressed belief at separate news conferences that the Meredith shooting would add impetus to civil rights legis- lation this year. McCormack said there is no question that the Meredith inci- dent "will have a good effect on the passage of additional effective civil rights legislation." It surely should and I think it will," Humphrey said, adding that this is particularly true of the section that would provide protec- tion for civil rights workers. Constitutkonality Sen. Sam J. Ervin, Jr. (D-NC) questioned the constitutionality of this section at the Senate hear- ings. He said he would seek to achieve the same result through a constitutional amendment. Katzenbach, testifying before Ervin's Judiciary subcommittee, said he is confident of the legis- lation's constitutionality, but at the same time he said he was de- lighted that Ervin feels it is nec- essary for Congress to legislate in this field. "I also feel that Congress should preserve the Constitution," Ervin said. Hates Violencej Ervin said he abhors violence or threats against anyone, but he contended the 14th Amendment reaches only state and local offi- cials and does not permit Congress to make the acts of private in- dividuals punishable as crimes. The 14th Amendment forbids any state to deny any citizen equal protection of the laws. In the House, Rep. Charles Mc. Mathias, Jr. (R-Md) said separ- ciary Committee now considering the administration bill. Celler in- dicated he would resist any at- tempt to fragment the measure at this time. Javits Speaks Sen. Jacob K. Javits (R-NY) told the Senate the civil rights bill before the Senate Judiciary Committee would "zero in on such a situation as occurred" in the Meredith shooting. Javits said the Mississippi incident means that "this bill should be passed with all speed." One factor in such incident, Javits said, might well be a feel- ing on the part of an assailant that he is immune from conviction "because of racial hatred" in the locality. A section in the bill providing for nondiscrimination in jury se- lection should help end any such feelings of security, he said.

Kennedy debated yes- terday with South African stu- dents defending their country's policy of apartheid, or racial seg- regation. Later, he made plans to visit today with Chief Albert Luthuli, the African Nobel Prize winner banned under the country's anti- Communism laws. The visiting U.S. senator carried to Stellenbosch University his views that the students should meet what he considered'their ob- ligation to all who needed help, regardless of nationality or the color of their skin. He spoke at a luncheon at a men's residence at the university, regarded as a citadel of South Africa's apartheid policies. It is the alma mater of Premier Hend- rik F.
