WASHINGTON lB Representatives from about 75 grass
ir roots, conservative, anti-Communist groups meeting here have
endorsed a coordinated movement, the Rev. Billy James Hargis
aaid Wednesday.
Formation of a third party was discouraged but all-out sup-
-;Pon oi conservative candidates in either party was encouraged,
.he said.
: It was decided to inspire a letter and telegram campaign to
;the attorney general to demand he "enforce the law of the land"
'on getting the Communists and Communist party to register, he
T. It also was decided to support legislation for U. S. withdrawal
; from the United Nations, he
J (aid, adding that it is apparent
i the U. N. has not and can not
i suppress Communist aggression.
Hargis, a radio and television
; evangelist from Tulsa, Okla.,
held a news conference to re
: port on Tuesday night's closed
; meeting. He said he had sent
invitations to 100 organizations
to send representatives to the
! meeting.

. They endorsed the coordinat
; ing movement, he said, "but
' that doesn't mean they endorsed
! each other." He added that
; there were some rugged indi
1 vidualists in the various groups.
But all the groups, he said were
; in agreement on one thing, "and
(that's to try to do something
about the threat of communism
. internally."
! Hargis said the meeting de-
cided to set up a steering com
mittee with one representative
from each group and with Ed-
ward Hunter, a writer and lec
turer, as chairman.
; Other decisions he reported:
To hold the meetings every
three months in Washington,
' with the next one in June, when
I there will be an attempt to get
.congressmen to attend. Hargis
said Reps. John H. Rousselot,
.R-Calif., and E. Y. Berry, R-S.D.,
addressed Tuesday night's meet
; ing. In reply to a question, Har
- gis estimated there are 50 mem
jbers of Congress "that would as-
sociate with an effort like this."
Closed Meetings
To make future meetings by
; invitation and have closed meet
ings so the list can be screened.
'He said he was concerned about
groups with harmful views such
as anti-Semitism getting in.
Hargis listed those named to
the steering committee as Ex
.Communist Benjamin Gitlow;
retired Brig. Gen. Bonner Fel
:lcrs and Maj. Gen. Charles
Willoughby, both formerly with
"Gen. Douglas MacArthur; Hun
iter and Rouseelot.
Asked to name organizations
which had representatives at the
: meeting, Hargis said that, rely
ing on his memory, he recalled
the National Indignation Con
tention; We, The People; The
John Birch Society; the Ameri
can Society for Physicians and
. Surgeons; American Coalition of
Patriotic Societies; American
.Legion; Young Americans for
Freedom; Liberty Lobby; Right

Oregon Rated
Among Best
In Education
SALEM Wl Oregon ranks
among the top 10 states in
several yardsticks used to meas
ure effectiveness of public ed
ucation, Leon P. Minear, state
superintendent of public in
struction, said Wednesday.
He listed these facts:
Seventy-five per cent of
Oregon's grade school gradu
ates go on to complete high
school, putting Oregon 10th
from the top.
Only 5.7 per cent of Ore-
gons selective service regis
trants fail in mental tests. Only
three states have a better rec
ord. Almost half of Oregon
adults have had four years of
high school, ranking 7th in the
country.
Only two states have few
er adults with less than five
years of schooling.
Oregon schools average
22.8 pupils per teacher, and
only eight states have a lower
ratio.
Oregon spends $136 per
capita for public education,
ranking 9th.
Minear noted, however, that
the average length of the school
year in Oregon is 177.8 days,
ranking Oregon 26th. He noted
trend toward longer school
years in other states.
He also said Oregon ranks
35th in boosting teacher sal
aries, and 40th in the percent
age of grade school teachers
having standard certificates.

Controversial
To Be Sold at
WASHINGTON W The pub
lication Overseas Weekly will
be continued on sale at U.S.
military bases in Europe, the
Defense Department said Wed
nesday. The decision was made by
Gen. Lauris Norstad, U.S. com
mander in chief in Europe, on
the basis of what a Pentagon
spokesman said was the "im
provement in the standards" of
the privately owned and widely
sold paper.
The Overseas Weekly, which
at times has carried articles and
pictures to which the military
objected, has been a point of
controversy for almost a decade.
In 1953, the Army refused to
permit continued distribution of
the paper through the circula
tion facilities of the official

Charter Day
JFK Gets
2nd Billing
At Berkeley
BERKELEY, Calif. (UPD
President Kennedy will join
hundreds of professors in their
gold, scarlet and purple robes
at the University of California
Friday, but he won't have top
billing at the world's largest
educational institution.
Campus posters heralding the
annual Charter Day ceremonies
do not emphasize the presiden
tial visit, and the formal invita
tions are for the inauguration
of Edward W. Strong as chan
cellor of the Berkeley campus
of the far-flung school.
At the bottom of the an
nouncement, in letters the same
size, it says simply: "The prin
cipal address will be delivered
by the President of the United
States."
80,000 Expected
The current wisecrack among
students is: "Are you planning
to attend the inauguration of
Dr. Strong?"
But while the university fol
lows academic custom and the
students apply the needle, more
than 80,000 persons are expect
ed to turn out to hear Kennedy
speak and see him receive an
honorary degree. Also receiving
degrees will be Defense Secre
tary Robert S. McNamara and
Thomas H. Carroll, president
of George Washington Univer
sity. Charter Day is the university's
most imposing annual event. At
most schools the biggest day of
the year is graduation, but at
California fewer than half the
graduates usually show up to re
ceive their diplomas. The rest
send in for them by mail.
' Absenteeism High
Even when then President
Harry S. Truman spoke at com
mencement in 1948 only about
40 per cent of the graduating
seniors attended, although 55,
000 other spectators were there.
Charter Day Commemorates
March 23, 1868, the day a legis
lative act creating the Univer
sity of California was signed by
Gov. H. H. Haight.
The observance serves as a
convenient time to inaugurate
new administrative officers and
sum up past accomplishments.
Its most colorful feature is the
long, formal academic proces
sion of professors, students and
alumni.

Gromyko
For Consultations in
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
Of the Associated Press
GENEVA Soviet Foreien
Minister Andrei Gromyko sum
moned Communist East Ger
many's top diplomat to Geneva
Wednesday for consultation.
This step gave fresh urgency to
East-West talks on Berlin
against the background of the
17-nation disarmament confer
ence. The conference itself address
ed a special bid to France to
abandon its boycott of the Gen
eva meeting and send a delegate
to fill the empty 18th chair.
There was no indication that
President De Gaulle would heed
the appeal. He considers the
meeting useless.
No Dent in Deadlock
On another front, disarma
ment experts of the United
States, Britain and the Soviet
Union resumed three-power dis
cussions of a nuclear weapons
test ban. Informants said they
tauea to make any dent in the
East-West deadlock over provi
sions for inspection to police
me Dan. iney aid agree to meet
again Thursday.
Pressure mounted among the
uncommitted nations for a mor
atorium on nuclear weapons
tests before the United States
resumes testing in the atmos
phere next month.
From Moscow, meanwhile,
came word that Premier Khrush
chev had sent a message to
President Kennedy agreeing to

Freeway Plan
Gets Support
PORTLAND (fl The Port
land Chamber of Commerce de
clared its support Wednesday
for the proposed Foothills-Stadium
Freeway in Portland.
The route has drawn some
protests in recent weeks. A pe
tition bearing names of 3,000
objectors is expected to be pre
sented to the City Council at a
meeting on the matter Thurs
day.
The Chamber of Commerce
said a chamber spokesman will
support the route at the hear
ing. The freeway will run through
the west side of Portland. It
will connect with the Pacific
Freeway in Southwest Portland,
swinging northwest from the
proposed new Marquam Bridge
over the Willamette River. It
will skirt the foothills, then
turn north, running along the
blocks between 13th and 14th
avenues to connect with the
proposed new Fremont Bridge
over the Willamette.
Objectors have said it will
remove much property from tax
rolls and will form a barrier to
stop growth of the business dis
trict.

myko protested to the Swiss.
Western officials were close
ly watching the outburst of So
viet activity, which seems to
have begun with new instruc
tions to Gromyko from Moscow
Monday. On that day Gromyko
asked Secretary of State Dean
Rusk to a brief talk and report
edly gave him a "working pa
per" of various views on Berlin
crisis- issues.
Gromyko entertained Rusk
and a panel of Berlin policy ex
perts at dinner Tuesday night.
They talked for more than three
hours. Later word circulated in
Western quarters that the Rus
sians had not come up with any
new ideas or hints of conces
sions. Menon Proposal
Concerning a moratorium, For
eign Ministers Mahmoud Fawzi
of the United Arab Republic,
Ketema Yifru of Ethiopia and
U Thi Han of Burma joined in
India s demand for an unpoliced
agreement to suspend test plans
while the big powers negotiate.
The United States so far has
been firm in its determination
to go ahead with the April
scries of tests in the atr osphere
unless the Soviet Union agrees
to a test ban treaty with pro
vision for adequate Inspection
to prevent cheating.
India s Krishna Menon sug
gested Tuesday that nuclear
test detection stations be set
up in nonaligned countries.
Prime Minister Nehru explain
ed in New Delhi that such an
arrangement would make it
more certain that nuclear
weapon tests would be discov
ered because the stations would
be nearer the test areas.
The conference at its plenary
session Wednesday called on
France to reconsider and at
tend the disarmament talks.
The resolution presented by
Menon asked the conference co-
chairmen, the United States
and Russia, to pass along the
request to French President
De Gaulle.
De Gaulle refused to send
French delegates to the con
ference, saying worthwhile dis-
