Freeman At Kremlin MOSCOW (L'Pl) - Premier Nikita Khrushchev shared a peace pipe with visiting Secre tary of Agriculture Orville L. freeman in a Kremlin meeting today. Freeman ended a tour of the Soviet Union with a meeting with Khrushchev, also attended by U.S. Ambassador Foy D. K o h 1 e r. During the meeting Freeman, a former Minnesota governor, pre sented Khrushchev a Minnesota Indian peace pipe. "Allow me to present it to you as a symbol of our common de sire for peace in the world," Freeman told the Soviet leader. Khrushchev grateful lv accepted the pipe, telling Freeman he does not smoke but welcomes it as a symbol. After Freeman told him how Indians sealed peace agreements by passing the pipe around, Khrushchev held it close to his mouth but did not put the pipe to his lips or attempt to smoke it!

Solon Calls Meet On Civil Rights WASHINGTON (IPI) Rep. Emanuel Celler, DN'.Y., sched uled a meeting with Negro lead ers and other non-congressional supporters of the civil rights bill to discuss Negro demands that he include a broad fair employment practices proposal as part of the main bill. Celier has re looted inclusion of the proposal with the main bill on grounds it will make it too dif ficult to pass. Other congressional news: Debt: The House Ways & Means Committee was called into closed session today to consider the administration's request. made Monday by Treasury Secre tary C. Douglas Dillon, to extend the temporary $309 billion nation al debt limit through Nov. 30. The administration proposed the ex tension rather than ask a boost in the ceiling '.l this time because collections of revenue have been better than it had anticipated. Urban: Sen. Hugh Scott, R-Pa., said he would intrjduce a bill to day to "provide for effective White House coordination of fed eral programs which affect urban areas." He said the proposed agency would function somewhat on the same lines as the Budget Bureau and would "cut across es tablished bureaucratic lines."

(Bob Leber) With a 10-day run opening Wednesday night of Rodgers and Hammerstein's "Flower Drum Song," Roseburg's little theater group, the Merely Players, believe they have another successful sum mer musical on their hands. Two years ago the group popped up with "Damn Yankees" and made a big hit with it. Though it was the first time a summer musical had ever been produced in this area on a community lev el, it was played to turn-away crowds and it was held over for an extra performance because of the demand. Two years ago the group did not have its own theater. "Damn Yankees" was presented "in the round" in the Community Build ing at the Douglas County Fair grounds. Players Have Home Now the Players have a place to call home and nothing has been spared to make "Flower Drum Song" the biggest show the group has yet produced. Sets and costuming will be quite elaborate. The stage has been re done for this production and boasts two playing areas one of which is practically in the laps of the audience. A special addition had to be built on the outside of the theater to hold the sots and props in the production. Special costuming was brought from Portland to lend Chinese at mosphere to the play. Particularly elaborate will be a ceremonial costume worn by one of the lead ing actresses that is authentic in every way. It is a uninese wed ding outfit with full regalia from head to toe. Another spectacular part of the show will be the dance routines. All of the original 3roadway se quences have been retained in the production with the actual routines worked out by local professional people. Helen Dyhre, who has taught ballet and dancing, has done the choreography. Ralph Pat terson has also lent his talents to some of the ballet scenes.

Yugoslavia, reported him self still shaken by the experience Monday night. Bernard S. Phillips, 32, an as sociate professor of sociology, who lives in Lexington, Mass., urrived here on a jet flight from Bel grade. He said he had left Skopje the afternoon of the quake and did not realize its magnitude un til he read newspaper reports. Phillips said he was sleeping in a third-floor room of tho five story Hotel Turist when the earth quake struck shortly after dawn last Friday. "I was awakened by a tremor which seemed to last 15 to 20 seconds," he said. "Tho building was shaking very badly. "I knew right away that it was an earthquake. I was afraid, and I knew that I had to get out as soon as I could. "I threw on my pants over my pajamas, put on my shoes and grabbed some jewelry I bought for my wife. 1 went down a stair way mobbed with people. Many were yelling and screaming, but there was no pushing or shoving "Everyone was standing in the middle of tho road or in the large, open squares. Everyone feared another quake and the only way to keep away from buildings tumbling all around was to get out in the open. "There was so much debris in the air you could hardly see any thing at all. It was the most op pressive sight that 1 have ever seen in my entire life." Phillips was in Yugoslavia on a two-month research project co sponsored by Boston University and the University of Skopje, with financial aid from the Ford Foun dation and the State Department.
