Cambridge Negroes Defiant CAMBRIDGE, J!d. (UPI) Ne. defy the National Guard and dera onstrate in the streets unless ne gotiations with white leaders re sume by an 8 p.m. deadline. The commander of the 300 Guardsmen enforcing limited mar tial law m this tense town said He have no choice but to break up demonstra'iions." "We hope to God we don't have to stick anyone," said Brig Gen George Gelston. "We don't plan on it. Our troops will use their bayonets to defend themselves." There was no immediate reac tion from the city officials to the 8 p.m. negotiateor-demonstrate deadline laid down by the town's Negroes. Mayor Calvin Mowbray, who broke off the talks Sundav, was reported trying to find new white negotiators. The Negroes crowded into their meeting place, the red brick Bethel AME Church, Monday night and shouted their approval of the deadline. Reginald Robinson of the Stu dent Non - violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) told the crowd the Justice Department had prom ised to help mediate racial prob lems that have erupted in street fighting in Cambridge. "If we don't negotiate by 8 o'clock tomorrow night," Robin son shouted, "what do you pro pose to do?" "Demonstrate!" came the an swer in a roar that could be heard blocks away. In a speech frequently inter rupted by frenzied cheering, Robinson said the Negro leader ship has asked Gov, J. Millard Tawes to intervene. "But it has to be done by 8 p.m. tomorrow night," he said. Mowbray broke off negotiations Sunday, charging the Negroes were using threats and were ne gotiating in bad faith. i.. i' FTSt-r K rtH -V. 1- ; K FT . i w . . - f V AVIATRIX JERRIE COBB, America's No. 1 potential lady astronaut, says she is proud a female has made the trip into space, but disappointed the first one wos a Russian.

Lawmakers Believe Prospects Are Good For Bi-Partisan Civil Rights Support WASHINGTON (UPD-Congres-sional leaders said today there was a "good prospect" of biparti san support for all of President Kennedy's civil rights program except its section on equal public accommodations for Negroes. Republican policy groups in both the House and Senate sched uled meetings today to review the five-part civil rights package that Kennedy plans to send to Con gress Wednesday. Other developments: The President invited 10 stale governors to a White House lunch today where civil rights was cer tain to be a major topic. Attend ing were Govs. Jack Campbell of New Mexico, Bert T. Combs of Kentucky, John - N. Dempscy of Connecticut, Albertis S. Harrison of Virginia. Grant Sawyer of Ne vada, J. Millard Tawes of Mary land, Mark O. Hatfield of Ore gon. John A. Love of Colorado, William W. Scranton of Pennsyl vania and James A. Rhodes of Ohio. A group of 243 religious lead ers agreed at a meeting with the President Monday to set up a na tional committee that would work at all levels to help solve the civil rights crisis. J. Irwin Miller, president of the National Guard of Churches, agreed to head the committee. The White House announced that Kennedy would confer with several hundred educators Wednesday on school desegrega tion and with several hundred lawyers Friday on legal aspects of the civil rights issue. The battle in Congress will be over the President's proposal to ban racial discrimination in ho tels, motels, theaters, restaurants tions. Not even a White House pro posal to exempt small, family owned businesses was able to win immediate GOP support for the accommodations guarantee. Es tablishments doing less than $150, 000 in annual business and indi vidually owned sleeping places with no more than four rooms would be exempt under the ad- Meet To Pick New Pope Nears VATICAN CITY (UPI) The Sacred College of Cardinals made final preparations today for the secret conclave which will choose a successor to Pope John XXIII as spiritual leader of the world's 300 million Roman Catholics. All but two or three of the 82 princes of the church were ex pected to enter the conclave area in the Vatican Wednesday. The 260-room area will be sealed be hind them and communication with the outside world cut off until a new pontiff is chosen. Only puffs of black or white smoke from a chimney on the roof of the Sistine Chapel supple mented for the first time by a system of signal lights will keep the public informed of the prog ress of the four daily ballots lead ing to the election of the 261st successor to the throne of St. Peter. By Monday night, 77 cardinals had arrived in Rome.

Considered sure to be absent was Jozsef Cardinal Mindszenty, primate of Hungary, who has lived in political asylum in the American legation in Budapest since Russian forces put down the Hungarian uprising in 19S6. He also missed the 19S8 conclave which elected the late Pope John. Voting begins Thursday morning and continues with two ballots each morning and afternoon until one candidate receives a two thirds majority. ministration's reported plan. Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield, Mont, and GOP Lead er Everett M. Dirkscn. 111., told a reporter in interviews that the accommodations proposal might have to be considered as a sepa rate Senate measure. Bipartisan backing of the other four pro posals in a single bill is consid ered likely. Mansfield said the accommoda tions problem was "worth a great deal of study" and was a "diffi cult question" to resolve. Dirk scn and some senators will not accept the idea of using federal power to guarantee Negro access to private property, contending it invades private rights. "The other parts of the Kennedy program voting rights, including a literacy test based on a sixth grade education; authority for the attorney general to file school desegregation suits; a community relations service, and extension of the civil rights commission offer only minor hurdles. High Court Hits Bank Mergers WASHINGTON (HPIWTh. Su. nrenio Court has hanriMl tha k'an. nedy administration its biggest anuirust victory a means of stemming the recent wave of bank mergers. In a landslide of opinions and orders ending the 1962-63 term, me court Monday approved the Use of a 19.V) amendment tn th Clayton antitrust law in applica tion to a DanK merger. The statute outlaws acquisitions "Where in inv linn nf fmn ina-u in any section of the country, the eueci . . . may be substantially to lessen competition, or to tend to create a mnnnivilv " Raiara of the wording of the law, the "acquisitions" can be bank stock only, not assets. The 5-3 ruling strengthens the government's hand in cases al ready in court.

The consolidation was part of a trend which saw more than 1,500 independent banks with combined resntirPPg nf mnra than t'J( hillinn disappear in the decade ending in 1VOV. The reasoning behind the ad ministration's lawsuits to brake this movement is that commercial uanKs are the key to other busi ness activity. They control loans, credit and commerce in general. The more outlets there are, ac cording to tllA pnvprnmnnt vinur the more money will be available at advantageous interest rates.
