Negro Supremists Continue Fire War
By United Press International
Apparent internecine warfare continued on a coast-to-coast basis with firebombs and flaming kerosene between two black supremist groups Tuesday.
Arsonists struck Black Muslim mosques in Harlem and San Francisco and police in Chicago Tuesday night received reports a time bomb had been placed in a coliseum where a Black Muslim convention is scheduled this weekend.
Police searched the old Victorian meeting hall but could find no bomb. The caller told authorities the bomb was scheduled to be detonated during the weekend Muslim meeting.
MUHAMMAD, THE Muslim's "messenger of Allah," will address the weekend meeting twice. Heavyweight boxing champion Cassius Clay, one of the most vocal supporters of the black supremist cult who likes to be known as Muhammad Ali, plans to put on boxing exhibitions during the convention.
A Muslim counter-attack was promised that could turn Negro communities across the country into fiery battlegrounds.
Police disclosed yesterday that Clay "is being watched" on the possibility he might be a target for reprisals. But Clay said he wasn't afraid of anything.
The fire bomb attacks were apparently in vengeance for the assassination Sunday of Negro extremist Malcolm X who set up his own black supremacy group after being expelled by the Muslims.
FOLLOWERS OF Malcolm X promised "maximum retaliation against the sect they blame for his death.
Telephone calls to police Tuesday night from a man who 'identified himself as "John Henderson" said a brigade of up to 1,000 Black Nationalists was coming from New York to slay Elijah Muhammad, leader of the Black Muslims.
Police security forces were mobilized today because of mounting rumors that Black Nationalists were en route to Chicago to avenge their leader's death.
James Farmer, national director of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) said Malecolm's assassination was "a political killing with international implications."
"I DOUBT seriously if the Black Muslims murdered Malcolm. There is something far greater than the Black Muslims involved," Farmer said.
In calling for a White House investigation, Farmer told newsmen:
"I am convinced the killing was an international plot although the executioners themselves weren't foreign agents."
British Scholar To Teach Here
A British scholar of English dialects and medieval English literature is visiting professor at KU this semester.
Prof. Harold Orton, from the faculty of the University of Leeds, England, is teaching courses in the History of the English Language and English Dialectology. He holds degrees from the University of Uppsala in Sweden and from Oxford University.
Two regular members of the KU English faculty returned after being on leave during the fall semester. John A. Meixner, associate professor, has been writing a book about Elizabeth Bowen and Stuart Levine, assistant professor, has been working on a book on the arts in the United States.
Following his assignment at KU, Professor Orton will join the summer faculty of the University of Michigan.
Edward L. Ruhe, associate professor of English, has begun leave to accept a Fulbright fellowship for teaching and research at the University of Adelaide in Australia. Kenneth B. Newell, acting assistant professor of English, will be on leave this spring to prepare an edition of Conrad's "Lord Jim."
Professors Call Persistence. Patience Best World Policies
"The internal situation in Viet Nam is in one big confusion, created by the infiltrators and there seems to be no way of clearing up this mess. We have involved ourselves too long and too deeply, and it is now too late to say good-bye to Saigon," he said.

What is the solution for the Viet Nam crisis? Where is Sukarno heading? Is Nasser's threat to recognize East Germany real? Will Christophe Gbenye, with the new Arab support, succeed in bringing another showdown in the Congo? Does the United Nations' charter need to be ratified, in the light of recent international developments?
"There are hundreds of correspondents in Saigon and each of them keep sending different types of reports." Prof. Pringsheim said.
During interviews political science professors expressed their views on these international affairs.
HERMAN LUJAN, associate professor, said, "The best solution to the Saigon question would be to continue the military operations until the U.S. is able to create a stalemate. It would then be wise to go on to the negotiation table." he said.
Klaus Pringsheim, acting associate professor, said. "There is no solution to the problem. If I knew it, I would be the secretary of state instead of a professor at KU. All the facts of the issue seem to be distorted and I do not know which report to believe."
"To make an offer of cease-fire at this time would be useless because the Hanoi government would not accept it," Prof. Lujan said.
"To pull out of Viet Nam would mean a loss of face for the U.S. and this would mean failing to carry out her commitments in South East Asia. We have to keep fighting the issue with utter patience and not try to use the idea of 'one quick solution,' which seems to be the characteristic of American thinking."
PROF. PRINGSHEM added that the situation in Viet Nam is a complex political problem. Under the present conditions, coupled with the United States' continued lack of knowledge of the language, customs and habits of Viet Nam's people, possibilities of a victory seem very remote, he said. Viet Cong now hold more territory in the region than they did ten years ago, when America got involved there.
"I would not be surprised to hear one morning that the Viet Cong have taken control in South Vietnam." Prof. Pringsheim said. "The incident is another aspect of the East-West struggle and it has become more so with the recent visit to Hanoi by Premier Kosygin. This is going to be a test of the will of the U.S., Russian and Chinese governments. But whatever happens, a possible U.S. victory does not seem apparent," he said.
On the issue of Indonesia's exit
CONCERNING the complaint of Sukarno over the U.N.'s 7-man fact finding mission to Malaysia, Prof. Ketzel said, "The survey was quite objective and complete. The people interviewed did indicate their desire to join the Malaysian Federation and there was no incident of suppression of people's opinion on the part of the British. If Sukarno wants to complain about this, then why does he not say anything about Brunei, which chose not to join the federation" he said.
Prof. Luian and Roy D. Laird associate professor maintained that Sukarno's recent actions do not show him to be a communist. Prof. Laird said, "He is a very strong nationalist. He is an Indonesian first and not a communist."
He compared him to Castro and said that Sukarno's interest in Communism is like that of Castro's. Their interests in Communism do not stem out of their adherence to the ideology but to use them as a means to get aid from the communist countries. Prof. Laird said.

PROF. PRINGSHEIM and Prof. Ketzel also maintained that Sukarno is not a Marxist but a 'neo-imperialist'. He wants to pose as being non-aligned with a view to get all the support from both the blocs. Prof. Pringsheim added that Sukarno now knows that he has no friends in the U.S. and as such he is forced to align with Red China.
from the U.N. and its complaint about Britain's massing up of troops in Malaysia, Clifford Ketzel, associate professor said, "I have no sympathy, whatsoever, for Sukarno. His complaint about the admission of Malaysia to the Security Council, is absurd. He uses his hypocritical statements to bring pressure on the U.S." he said.
"Sukarno remembers that China was the only nation that supported him in the West Irian issue," Pringsheim said. "Right now China is the only friend he has. Recently there have been many visits from Chou En Lai and Chen Yi to Indonesia with assurances of aid. In reality, the Chinese are only using him and trying to prevent him from joining Russia."

Prof. Pringsheim predicted that if Sukarno continues in this way, he will make Indonesia an 'International outlaw'. He compared Indonesia's exit from the U.N. to that of Japan in the 30's, when she walked out of the League of Nations over the question of Manchuria. He added, "Russia will not give up Indonesia to China, and it will be interesting to watch the developments in the future."

The Charter of the United Nations has also been talked about very much lately and the need to amend it is being suggested by many nations. The U.N. has grown very large over the years and the recent controversy has arisen as a result of the admission of Malaysia into the Security Council.
