US Cancels Soviet Agreement For New Cultural Program
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — The United States has canceled negotiations with Russia on a new cultural exchange agreement in protest against the arrest by the Soviets of a Yale professor on spy charges, official sources said today.
A formal announcement was expected later today, possibly by President Kennedy at a news conference (at 11 a.m. EST).
The President himself, it was disclosed, made the decision that it would be singularly inappropriate to proceed now with negotiations scheduled to begin Tuesday in Moscow, while the Soviets were still holding Prof. Frederick Barghoon. The United States has protested vigorously against Barghoon's arrest, called espionage charges against him "groundless."
THE AMERICAN ambassador in Moscow, Foy D. Kohler, was advised yesterday of the White House decision and early today cabled Washington that he was in complete agreement with the action.
Kennedy's decision cancelled the departure, scheduled for today, of a 10-man American delegation
headed by Frank G. Siscoe, director of the State Department's division of Soviet and East European exchanges.
These agreements with Russia of which there have been three since 1958have provided for exchanges of students and professors, as well as entertainment groups, and other cultural relations.
PRIOR TO TODAY, the United States underlined its bitterness over Barghoorn's arrest by putting the chill on a visiting delegation of 17 Russian officials and tourists.
U. S. authorities said developments of the past few days clearly had plunged Soviet-American relations to their lowest point since the brief period of relaxation following signing of the nuclear test ban treaty.
An intensified Soviet smear campaign against West Germany, and new Communist attacks along the truce line in Korea served along with the professor's arrest, to spur apprehension that further deterioration in the international climate was in the offing.
In the case of Barghorm, recognized as one of the world's foremost authorities on Soviet affairs, has broad ramifications going far beyond the question of the individual himself, U.S. officials said.
THERE WAS speculation the Russians were planning to seize more American hostages in retaliation for the recent ousting of Soviet U.N. officials caught spying in this country.
The State Department is warning American organizations not to become involved in any "commitments" with a group of 17 Soviet tourists which arrived in the United States yesterday for a three-week tour.
Among the tourists are a number of officials of Russia's "Institute of Soviet-American Relations," which he state department describes as a "vehicle for Soviet propaganda."
The recent Soviet campaign against West Germany for allegedly seeking revenge against Russia erupted yesterday in the United Nations where the Soviet Union chided France for completing a treaty with its former enemy.
Anti-Coup Officials Sent into Exile
BEIRUT — (UPI) — Eight prominent government officials who sided with the group which put down an attempted revolt in Iraq yesterday and exiled its leaders were themselves sent into exile today.
The move came as the Baath Arab Socialist party regime in Baghdad appeared locked in a power struggle between those who favor a moderate course in dealing with internal problems and those who favor extreme methods, including the use of force.
Former Iraqi Deputy Premier Ali Salah El Saadi, who was forced into exile in Spain Tuesday, said in Madrid he and his followers of the extremist wing could not return to Iraq now but hoped to do so "in the near future."
"The (BAATH) party and the Iraqi people support us," Saadi said.
However Baghdad radio reported this morning that Foreign Minister Taleb Hussein Shabibi, Interior
Minister Hazem Jawad and six other prominent officials were deported to Lebanon as part of a plan by the national command of the Baath party government to settle the present crisis.
Ironically, Shabib and Jawad were part of a moderate Baath faction which long has feuded with the extremist group headed by Saadi.
Their deportation followed an attack yesterday by at least one Iraqi air force jet on the presidential palace and reports of street fighting in Baghdad.
Skies will remain mostly fair in the Lawrence area with a warming trend through tomorrow.
Weather
SHABIB AND JAWAD wer
The low tonight will be in the middle to upper 20's. The high tomorrow will be in the 60's, the weather bureau said.
Political observers urged caution in assessing the developments.
But they said that the Baath government in Baghdad, which seized control last Feb. 8, appeared to be seeking a way out of the present crisis that would avoid bloodshed.
among the leaders of a faction within in the Baath party that have been engaged in a sharp series of disagreements with Deputy Premier Saleh El Saadi, long considered the real power in Iraq.
Saadi arrived secretly in Madrid Tuesday and said today from the Spanish capital that he hoped to return home "in the near future" because both the Baath party and the people back him.
Of great interest now, they said, will be Saadi's movements from here on.
Saadi, who carries a pistol wherever he goes, is considered the leader of the extremist wing of the Baath.
Pickets, Protests Spark Day's Voting
By Fred Frailey
With a new elections committee chairman, formal protests against at least five candidates and picketing in front of Strong Hall, the All Student Council living district elections drew to a close this afternoon.
At 11:30 a.m. today, 3,028 students, representing 28.8 per cent of the student body, had voted.
Votes by living district through this morning were fraternities, 681; sororites, 413; large men's residence halls, 755; large women's residence halls, 409; small men's residence halls, 338; small women's residence halls, 27; freshman women's residence halls, 237; unmarried-un-organized, 284; professional fraternity and co-op, 35; and married, 49.
Election committee workers said polls in Strong and Murphy Hall and the Kansas Union opened on time today.
Yesterday, 2,256 students—or 21.4 per cent of the student body—cast ballots. Wednesday's turnout was 58 per cent of the 3,887 vote last fall.
The only district which cast more votes yesterday than in both days of last year's election was the unmarried-unorganized group, which must select four ASC representatives from the field of two Vox Populi. two University Party and two write-in candidates.
WEDNESDAY, 225 votes had been cast, compared with the 209 total in 1962.
Elsewhere, percentage turnouts Wednesday ranged from 50 per cent in the fraternity district to 2 per cent in the married district.
Jim Thompson, elections committee chairman, resigned his position unexpectedly Wednesday night for undisclosed personal reasons.
Bob Tieszen, McPherson senior was immediately appointed to replace Thompson by John Stuckey, Pittsburg senior and ASC chairman.
THOMPSON'S resignation had
nothing to do with the conduct of the elections." Stuckey said. "It also had nothing to do with outside political pressure."
Although Tieszen is a candidate from the fraternity district, Stuckey said his prior experience as elections committee chairman would be invaluable.
"Tieszen was chairman of the committee during last spring's elections, and I have no doubt that he will do a good job." Stuckey said.
Prior to his resignation Wednesday night, Thompson said five written protests against candidates had been presented to him. He added that he expected several more to be brought to the elections committee because of alleged misconduct of candidates.
"Several of them were quite trivial and none concerned an alleged violation which could be corrected now," he said.
THOMPSON SAID, however, that he preferred not to disclose the nature of the complaints until the elections committee rules on them immediately after the counting of ballots tonight.
Pickets protesting civil rights inaction walked in front of Strong Hall yesterday and today. Lacy Banks, Kansas City junior, picketed alone yesterday morning, but was joined by several students yesterday afternoon.
THE SIGNS carried by the pickets read "End racial segregation at KU." We need a definite proposal for civil rights action," and "Neither party platform proposes firm action in the platforms."
Banks said he is particularly opposed to racial discrimination in fraternities and sororities.
"I've received a lot of support from students, even though I'm taking what appears to be an unpopular stand." Banks said yesterday afternoon. "A lot of people have stopped to explain their views and encourage me."
KU policemen started signing traffic tickets this morning according to Keith Lawton, vice chancellor of operations, and Willard Anderson, acting chief of KU campus police.
This announcement came as a result of the Student Judicial Court's Tuesday night ruling. The ruling stated that all unsigned traffic tickets are invalid, and would be revoked if the recipient presented his ticket to the Student Court within 10 days.
LAWTON SAID, "THE chief justice of the Student Court, and others interested, visited with me earlier in the week on this matter. It became evident that the court was not aware that the officers who issue University parking tickets have always been identified on the ticket stub, which is on file in the Traffic and Security office. This information is available to anyone."
Lawton, however, added that since the matter seemed to continue to be a problem for the court, the Parking and Traffic Division will identify the issuing officer on the ticket, as well."
Police Sign Traffic Tickets After Student Court Ruling
The Student Judicial Court ruling stated it was not directing the KU police department to sign traffic tickets.
THE RULING ROSE out of an appeal on the case "The University of Kansas vs. Berkley."
Kent Berkley, Lawrence third-ear law student, received a parking ticket earlier this fall for parking in the wrong zone.
Thomas Triplett, St. Joseph, Mo., third-year law student and Berkley's attorney, had appealed the case on the basis that the present practice of the KU police violates the U.S. Constitution and the Kansas Constitution.
the name of his accuser (in this case, the traffic officer), this violated the sixth amendment under the U.S. Bill of Rights which states:
Triplette said since the recipient of the traffic citation does not know
"No person shall. . be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law. ."
"IN ALL CRIMINAL prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right. . . to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him. . ."
Because this constitutional right had been violated, it also violated the "due process' clause of Amendment V of the U.S. Constitution which saws:
The court denied the appeal by a vote of 3-to-2, but on facts of the case which in no way were connected with the constitutional grounds cited by Triplett.
