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.

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.

Present Circumstances "Rather, my decision is not to attend the university next semes- ter under the present circum- stances. "When I combined the political and educational reality with my personal possibilities and prob- abilities, the results lead me to the foregoing decision." He said he planned to stay in the university at least through the end of final examinations. The fin- al exams begin Jan. 18 and end Jan. 22.

See Goulart 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. Central Takes Over Congolese 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 Nigh, EdrundsonS et As Governor, Senator OKLAHOMA CITY OP) - George Nigh was sworn in yesterday for an eight-day term as Governor of Oklahoma.

The resolution stated in part, "MRUSNSA believes that no ideas except those which a par- ticular conjunction of circum- stances makes likely to result in immediate and substantive vio- lence should be curtailed."

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. IHenry Bellmon, the first Repub- lican ever elected governor of Oklahoma.

As for young Kerr's announced intentions to seek his father's Senate seat, Edmondson added: "A let of things can happen before filing time in 1964. He might change his mind, I don't know." "First of all I want to say that although anyone would be happy to go to the United States Senate, I certainly don't go with any sense of exhileration," Edmondson told newsmen.

Birchers need these character- istics to pursue the purposes Welch 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."

The Birchers' Bluebook was de- scribed by Welch as an "outline of the threats against the nature of the nation and an evaluation of these threats." It also presents a "positive philosophy and program for Americans to rally around" and aid in the defeat of the Commu- nist conspiracy. The Birch Society wants public acts put into effect so that the in- dividual is an important part of the decision making process, Clink noted. He added that the society feels that the present political processes are "charades" since there is no effective difference be- tween the two parties.

Clink defined Communism as rad- ical socialism and socialism as an attempt to get a primitive econo- my through democratic processes. Marx, Engels The basic "doctrinaire fathers" of both socialism and Communism are Marx and Engels, Clink charg- ed. The only difference is that Communism stresses class warfare. Regarding the United Nations, Clink noted that the United States strategists and planners do not believe that Communists are Com- munists and "look at them as very clever Russian nationalist expan- sionists."
