THE LARGEST COMMUNIST party outside the Red bloc went over to the Chinese side in the ideological battle between Moscow and Peking. The Indonesian Communist party, almost $2\frac{1}{2}$ million strong, has been a fence-sitter in the squabble. But last week the party denounced the nuclear test ban signed by Moscow saying, "It would have been much better had there be no such treaty" and added that the pact had paralyzed the world movement.

South Viet Nam apologized for the air attack but protested that Cambodian fighters shot down an American-piloted Vietnamese plane.
After stubbornly refusing to release three American fliers who were captured March 12 when their plane strayed into East German territory the Soviet Union announced late Sunday that they would release the last two fliers.

Nationally it was a quiet week. The trials were over. Jack Ruby filed an appeal of his conviction after firing Melvin Belli, his colorful trial lawyer who had criticized the conduct of the trial. And Teamster boss Jimmy Hoffa was preparing to take his jury-tampering conviction to a higher court.
The congressional investigation of Bobby Baker was marked by cries of partisanship. Republicans accused the Democrats of trying to put the Baker "skeleton" back in the closet before this year's elections.
Sen. Richard Russell (D-Ga.) proposed a relocation program to be added to the civil rights bill. It was aimed at giving all states an equal proportion of Negroes. Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey (D-Minn.) charged that the southerners with "pulling Dixie rabbits out of the hat" to divert attention from key provisions of the civil rights bill.
A railroad workers strike which could have paralyzed the nation's railroads was averted last week by court injunctions against the threatening strikers and a change in the union's strategy.

And to end the survey of the week's news highlights a story which made as many big headlines as almost any other story. Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton were finally married, in Montreal, Canada.
CRCC Support
The People Say . . .
We wish to take this opportunity to express our approval and support of CRCC's plans to picket in protest of discriminatory practices in KU fraternities.
It is important, we feel, to divorce this protest action from any feelings about fraternities per se. The issue is not fraternities vs. independents; it is whether university-supported living groups should, morally or legally, have the right to deny membership to people on the basis of race.
We think they should not. The issue goes beyond discriminatory clauses, though these are important. Discriminatory attitudes and practices on the part of all white fraternities are at least as important.
We recognize that change in attitudes, policies and culture is not easy; it requires bravery and some dedication. We would hope that such change can come about through efforts of fraternities themselves, together with university support. Barring this, we applaud the commitment of the CRCC.
