Iy The Associated Pres
FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD Chairman Arthur Burns yes-
terday rejected higher interest rates as the way to improve the
dollar's world position.
The head of the nation's central bank said a tough anti-infla-
tion fight, complete with government wage-price controls, stands
at the top of his list of remedies.
"The overriding need is to restore price stability even as the
present slack in our economy is taken up," Burns told the Senate
Banking Committee.
THE NIXON ADMINISTRATION'S chief of internal secur-
ity said yesterday that a prime cause of racial riots in 1965-69
"was the rhetoric of prior administrations."
Asst. Atty. Gen. Robert Mardian accused former administra-
tions - without naming them - of 4promising "instant solutions
to all the complex problems of race."
At the same time, Mardian leveled a blast at the nation's news
media for its reporting on the administration's school-desegregation
policies.
CHINESE PREMIER Chou-En-lai met yesterday in Peking
with two visiting American scientists, the New China News Agency
said.
The Americans are Dr. Arthur Galston, a plant physiologist from
Yale University and Dr. Etham Singer, a microbiologist from the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
The American scientists arrived in Peking last Thursday after
a visit to North Vietnam.
PRIME MINISTER Edward Heath of Britain and French
President Georges Pompidou yesterday began talks that are ex-
pected to pave the way for Britain's entry into the Common Mar-
ket.
British sources confirmed yesterday that Britain will not at-
temp to supplant French with English as the market's main lang-
uage. The language factor has been the center of French sensitivi-
ties over the prospect of British entry.

MOSCOW (M-- A panel of
Soviet judges began deliber-
ations yesterday on the fate
of nine Leningrad Jews ac-
cused of plotting to hijack
an airliner and slandering
the Soviet Union.
The Soviet agency Tass said
the Leningrad city court finish-
ed hearing the defendants' final
statements yesterday morning.
It said all of them had con-
fessed and "repented." The trial
began May 11.
Tass has never given the pre-
cise charges against the Jews.
Butunofficial sources havere-
ported that two are charged
with treason and the other sev-
en with organizing anti Soviet
activity and slandering the
state.
Under the articles of the Rus-
sian criminal code, all of the
Jews could get the death penal-
ty. But the prosecutor has asked
for labor camp sentences rang-
ing from one to ten years.
This is the second trial of
Leningrad Jews accused in a
plot to seize a 12 seat airliner
from Leningrad's Smolny Air-
port June 15, fly it to Sweden,
and then make their way to
Israel.
Two of the 11 persons charged
in the earlier trial were sent-
enced to die before a firing
squad. But the severity of the
sentences aroused an interna-
tional furor, and the death sent-
ences were commuted on appeal
to 15 year labor camp terms.
The nine Jews in the second
trial were rounded up at their
homes and offices at about the
same time the others were seiz-
ed at the airport.
Tass has described the nine,
all engineers or doctors, as in-
grates who repaid their state
funded education with dreams
or attempts to emigrate to Israel.

T~thshe Creative Switch
Why has ihe Mamiya/Sekor DTL become the favorite
35mm StR camera of campus photographers? Because
you're more interested in creative possibilities than
record making. The Creative Switch allows you to
choose between two separate exposure meter
f systems, and gsarantees' perfect exposures
every time.Why two? Because front lighted
subjects are measured easiest with an
averaged"meter system.With back and side
lighting you need a "spot"meter system
to read ihe msi important part ot the picture.
Most fi ne 35mm SLR c mers haveone atr
these systems; the Mamiya/Sekor
DTL has combined both with the
Creative Switch. Who cares
about exposure if(you're only
interested in taking pictures
of the baby or Aunt A gatha?
-But the most interesting
pictures usually have tricky
lighting and you want to
capture on film what you
