DEPENDS ON 'CHANGES':
Meredith May Leave School
7 ,
OXFORD (P)-Negro James,H.
Meredith said yesterday he would
withdraw from the University of
Mississippi at the end of the pres-
ent semester unless "very definite
and positive changes are made" in
his situation.
He didn't say what changes he
had in mind, but he told newsmen
in a statement at his dormitory
Walker Case
Goes to Jury
OXFORD (A)-The cases of
eleven men - including former
Army Maj. Gen. Edwin A. Walker
- may go before a federal grand
Jury today in connection with the
riots at the University of Missis-
sippi.
Walker and at least 10 others
were arrested within a week after
the Sept. 30 desegregation riot
which killed two men and wounded
scores.
Charges include interference
with federal officers in perform-
ance of their duties, conspiracy to
impede officers, rebellion and in-
surrection and conspiracy to op-
pose the authority of the United
States.

dent in the university-rumors

trouble.
Unfulfilled Responsibilities
In Washington, Atty. Gen. Rob-
ert F. Kennedy said some univer-
sity officials "have not met their
responsibilities" and called on
them to "take appropriate steps
now" to make it possible for Mere-
dith to continue his education.
"I would hope that in making a
final decision on this, Mr. Mere-
dith will consider that he chose
to go to the University of Missis-
sippi and the energies and hopes
of many of his fellow citizens have
been involved in his admission and
continued attendance.
"Should Mr. Meredith feel oblig-
ed to leave the university because
of extreme racial intolerance
which has focused hostility on him.
it would be a-reflection on the
University of Mississippi and the
state of Mississippi.
Reflection on America
"That this could occur any-
where in the United States is a

said.

Making Bid
For Power
RIO DE JANEIRO EM)-Presi-
dent Joao Goulart headed for a
decisive victory yesterday in his
bid for full executive powers with
which to battle the ills plaguing
his country,
Early unofficial results from
Sunday's plebiscite to determine
the future form of government
were running better than six to
one in favor of restoring to old
strong type of presidency.
This would replace the parlia-
mentary system, under which Gou-
lart received sharply reduced pow-
ers 16 months ago in a compro-
mise solution to a serious govern-
mental crisis caused by the resig-
nation of President Janio Quadros.
Official results were expected
by Thursday, but preliminary un-
official samplings in the nation's
largest cities showed the pro-pres-
idential ballots far ahead. Absten-
tions were reported running close
to the pre-plebiscite forecast of 40
per cent. A total vote of approxi-
mately 11 million-out of about
18 millions eligible-was antici-
pated.
The parliamentary system re-
'suilted in a weak presidency, an in-
decisive cabinet and a vacciliating
Congress that added up to govern-
ment inaction. Inflation soared
more than 50 per cent. Brazil's
credit resources were so strained,
a money-seeking mission returned
empty-handed from Europe last
September.
Goulart has claimed only a
strong presidency is capable of
carrying out the reforms required
to combat the national problems.
New Delhi
Considers
Proposals
NEW DELHI (1) - India yes-
terday was reported considering
acceptance of the Colombo pro-
posals for a truce with Red China.
While official sources indicated
a shift in India's thinking, a ship-
load of American arms was being
unloaded at Bombay. At the same
time, the chairman of the United
States Senate Armed Services
Committee announced in Wash-
ington his opposition to furnish-
ing India any modern American
weapons.
Official Indian sources said the
truce proposals drafted by six non-
aligned African-Asian nations at
Colombo apparently were unac-
ceptable to China.
Afro-Asian World
The officials reasoned that
China, had it found the terms fa-
vorable, would have made an an-
nouncement last week in a fan-
fare of publicity for the benefit
of the African-Asian world.
However, a communique broad-
cast from Peking yesterday said
Chinese Premier Chou En-Lai and
Colombo representatives who con-
ferred in Peking last week had
agreed on terms they believe
would help settle the India-China
border dispute.
Mrs. Sirimavo Bandaranaike,
prime minister of Ceylon, who led
the delegation to Peking, is due
here Thursday for similar talks
with Indian officials.
The Peking communique said
details of the proposals would be
kept secret until Mrs. Bandar-
anaike talked with Indian Prime
Minister Jawaharlal Nehru.
Initially, India had been in-
clined to reject the help of the
six nonaligned nations in settling
its dispute with China.
The arrival of a shipload of
American arms Friday was con-
firmed belatedly by the govern-
ment. Censorship had held up the
announcement.
Misunderstanding of Orders
A government information of-
ficer, M. L. Bhardwaj, blamed a
misunderstanding of orders by a
local official in Bombay for the
weekend blackout on this first
seaborne shipment of United
States arms to help India gird
against any new Chinese attack.
In Washington, Sen. Richard B.
Russell (D-Ga.) chairman of the
Senate Armed Services Commit-
tee, said in an interview:
"The Indians put on a disgrace-
ful exhibition in permitting them-
selves to be driven out of what
should have been impregnable po-
sitions in the border mountains.
They seem incapable of fighting
and if we supply them with wea-
pons they will just fall into the
hands of the Communists."
U.S. To Scrap
Texas Towers
WASHINGTON (P)-The Air
Force announced yesterday it will
abandon its remaining two Texas
tower radar stations, both located
off the Massachusetts coast. It
said the sand and rock under
them are wearing away.
Tower II, about 100 miles east
of Cape Cod, will be abandoned
immediately.
Tower III, about 60 miles south-
east of Cape Cod, will be placed
on a standby basis until the end
of February, when it will be de-
commissioned.

CEEB:
Study Finds Exams Lacki
NEW YORK-College entrance
examination scores are not always
an accurate measure of a student's
ability to do good work in college,
according to a report published
recently by Columbia University.
A study of 72 students admitted
to the college in 1961 with below-
average scores on verbal aptitude
tests found that 69 had passed the
two required freshman courses
most demanding in the ability to
understand and express ideas in
words, Henry S. Coleman, director
of college admissions, said. In ad-
dition, 22 per cent of these stu-
dents ranked in the top half of
their class in all subjects.
"We may infer from these early
statistics that although low verbal
scores are a fairly reliable predic-
tor of academic success in the
freshman year they do not ac-
curately measure the well-motivat-
ed student's ability to survive, and
in some cases to prosper, in a rig-
orous academic program," Cole-
man said.
An examination of 25 students
admitted in 1961 who were dis-
missed, suspended or allowed to
withdraw for academic reasons in-
dicated that slightly weak prepara-
tion was less often the cause than
lack of motivation and various
psychological problems, he added.
These observations were con-
tained in a report from Coleman
to about 5,000 secondary school
headmasters, principals and coun-
selors throughout the nation.
Coleman said that the results
of the College Board examinations
were rarely the determining factor
in deciding whether a candidate
would be admitted to Columbia.
Coleman stressed the usefulness of
national testing programs for col-
lege entrance, but he deplored "any
undue emphasis upon, or misuse of,
the results."
Ve'rbal Skills
Coleman explained that Colum-
bia had admitted the 72 students,
whose mastery of verbal skills had
apparently been hampered by
background, environment, poor
schooling or foreign education, in

Delta Students
Meet Romney
On 'U' Merger
LANSING - A half dozen Delta
College students met recently with
Governor George Romney to dis-
cuss affiliation of their commun-
ity college with the University.
The students are members of
the newly-formed Students for
University of Michigan Affiliation
Committee, organized to seek en-
largement of'the school as a Uni-
versity campus, rather than under
the "piggy-back" plan recom-
mended by a legislative study com-
mittee.
Charles Orlebeke, administra-
tive assistant to Romney, said the
students expressed concern about
the committee recommendations
and a fear that implementations
would come before negotiations
with the University could be com-
pleted.
The "piggy-back" plan would
create a separate third and fourth
year school atop the existing com-
munity college. The Delta College
Board of Trustees has expressed,
however, a desire to become a
University campus.

Edmonson will serve two years

As for young Kerr's announced
intentions to seek his father's
Senate seat, Edmondson added: "A

change his mind, I don't know."
"First of all I want to say that

the John Birch Society, reveals in

Birchers need these character-

defines as restoring "with deeper
conviction" the ennobling aspira-
tions of Western civilization or, in
short, "less government, more re-
sponsibility and a better world."
Two members of the Birch so-

The Birchers' Bluebook was de-

Communism stresses class warfare.

Clink noted that the United States
