2 The Newi-IUview, Roseburg, Case Against Confidential Magazine Set LOS ANGELES I Despite warning from the defense that "reputations of many persons will suffer if this case goes to trial," the court has turned down a pro posed compromise agreement in the criminal libel case against Con fidential magazine. Trial is slated to begin Friday. The proposed settlement was worked out yesterday during a long meeting of the prosecution and the defense in the district attor ney's office. It would have pro vided: 1. Confidential and its sister pub lication Whisper would slop print ing smear articles against celeb rities. 2. Charges against defendants Fred and Marjorie Meade, aceus- cd of supplying information about Hollywood figures to Confidential, would be dropped. 3. The case against the maga zines and other corporate defend ants would be decided on the basis of the transcript of the grand jury hearing in which they were in dicted. Superior Judge Herbert V. Walker, in rejecting the compro mise, held insufficient reason had been given for dismissing the four conspiracy counts against the Meadcs. Soviet Friendship Secretary Doesn't Have U. S. Passport MOSCOW I The secretary of the Chicago Council of Soviet American Friendship said Tues- nay ne am not onng ins American passport to the Communists' world youth festival. Leroy Wolins told a reporter the U.S. Slate Department nicked ud his passport a year ago and ro- lused to grant him a new one for a trip to the Soviet Union. The two-week festival opened Sunday. "I don't anticipate any trouble on my return to the United Slates," Wolins said. "I had legal advice before I left and was told an American docs not need hit passport to leave the country." Wolins obtained Czech and Soviet visas on slips of papers hefore he left home, then drove to Montreal and boarded a plane for Amsterdam. From there, he flew to Prague. In the Czech capital, Wolins said he boarded the "festival" train carrying delegates to Mos cow but was stopped by Czech customs guards at the Soviet border. He said he remained at the border over night, but was allowed to continue to Moscow on another train, arriving here Mon day. Wolins is staying at a tourist hotel with other U.S. delegates. Sen.
