(UPI) Albania demanded today that the General Assembly at its cur rent session take up the ques tion of seating Communist China in place of Nationalist China. The Albanian delegation de manded that the China issue perennial item before the assem bly, be inscribed on the assem bly's agenda as an "important and urgent question." The Albanians demanded the "restoration of the legitimate rights of the People's Republic of (Commumst I China in the United Nations." Key Southern solon backs test treaty WASHINGTON (UPD-The nu clear test ban treaty gained sup port today from another key Southern Democrat when Sen. Sam J. Ervin, N.C., announced that he would support the pact, though "without great enthusi asm." Ervin's announcement in a Sen ate speech brought to 82 the num ber of firm or probable votes for the treaty. Ervin had been re garded as one of the fence-sitters before today's announcement. Ervin said his treaty endorse ment was "the most difficult de cision I have had to make since coming to the Senate nine years ago." He made his decision known as Sen. Stuart Symington, D-Mo., the nation's first Air Force secre tary, defended the pact on one of its most debated points the abil ity of U.S. missile sites to sur vive a nuclear attack. He said he is confident tthat the Russians do not know any more about such vulnerabilities than the Unit ed States. Senate leaders hope to bring the treaty to a vote by Friday. Democratic Leader Mike Mans field, Mont., reasserted this tar get today to newsmen after the weekly White House legislative conference. Mansfield said he anticipated votes this week on proposed res ervations and understandings and if a final vote is not at tained on the treaty itself, then it will come "perhaps next week." Symington, who had access to secret military testimony before two committees on the treaty, said in a speech prepard for Sen ate delivery, "The evidence is that the Soviets know no more than we do about such vulner abilities." He challenged one of the prin cipal anti-treaty arguments, say ing, "The evidence is that they have not conducted "any large yield tests of this kind." Treaty opponents have stressed that the Soviet Union probably knows much more than the Unit ed States about super-bomb ef fects because of the Russians' 1961 - 1962 atmospheric testing of high-yield weapons. Speeches by Symington and Sen. J. Strom Thurmond, D-S.C, a sharp opponent of the pact, highlighted today's Senate debate on the treaty. Senate leaders are shooting for a Friday ratification vote. The treaty cleared its first parliamentary hurdle Monday with backers citing the birth of the Fischer quintuplets as a sym bolic reason for its ratification. The Senate took the parliamen tary step when it agreed unani mously to accept the actual text of the treaty without amendment and begin consideration of the separate ratification resolution. This action came as Sen. George S. McGovern, D-S. D., said he would support the treaty as a "concrete gesture" to help protect the Fischer quintuplets born in his state and "all other children from radioactive fallout. "Perhaps there is no greater gift that I can offer as one of the elected representatives of this family than to work in every wav for a world where these children. . .indeed all the children of the earth, can breathe clean air and live free from the blight of hatred and war," McGovern told the senate. Senate Democratic leader Mike Mansfield of Montana also noted the ouints' birth and expressed hope the Senate would give con siderable thought to "tnose wno are coming up" in the future. Williamson offers plan on parking An overhead concrete ramp running above street level along Oregon Avenue from Brooks Street to Lave Road is a scheme submitted Monday by Eddie Wil liamson to alleviate Bend down town parking difficulties. Williamson, of Eddie's Sales 4 Service, presented a draftsman's sketch of his proposed plan Mon day to City Manager Hal Puddy. As designed, the 65 foot wide ramp would accommodate some 220 cars in stalls of 8-foot width. The cars would get up on the ramp via entrances at each end. Puddy said the city will have es timates made on the cost of Wil liamson's ramp. He will then ad vise Williams to seek Chamber of Commerce support for his idea. The Chamber is currently back ing a plan which would provide additional off-street parking in i four downtown locations. lives Malaysian mob retaliates against Indonesia, attacks embassy in Kuala Lumpur KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (UPI)-A howling mob of 1,000 persons today smashed windows at the Indonesian Embassy here, burned an Indonesian consular of fice and wrecked three other of fices in retaliation for attacks on the Malayan and British embas sies in Indonesia. The rioters hurled rocks and firecrackers. They burned and trampled a giant portrait of In donesian President Sukarno as the new Federation of Malaysia formally broke off diplomatic re lations with its two large neigh bors, Indonesia and the Philip pines. The diplomatic break followed refusal of the Indonesian and Philippines governments to recog nize Malaysia, which came into being Monday as a federation Boycott seen losing ground BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (UPI) A white boycott of three newly integrated schools in this racial ly-tense city appeared today to be losing ground. Ramsay High School, where one Negro began classes a week ago, reported that its entire student body of 852 was present follow ing a decline in attendance Mon day, apparently caused by the apprehension after Sunday's church bombing that killed four persons. West End High, scene of bois terous demonstrations by white students, was quiet and half of the 1,440 member student body including two Negro girls was in class today. At Graymont Elementary School, where two Negro broth ers were in classes, attendance climbed to 175 of the 249 en rolled. City school authorities were op timistic that the rise in attend ance would continue. The city was calm this morn ing following another night of sporadic shots and rock throwing in Negro sections and an emo tional rally by 1,000 Negroes who voted to stage a segregation pro test march on Uie Alabama State Capitol at Montgomery. Negro leaders said the plan re quired "more thinking" before any formal commitment. The Rev. F. L. Shuttlesworth, one of the leaders, said today it was hoped the march could be staged soon but it definitely would not be this week. The proposal was suggested to the emotional crowd by speakers at a rally during pleas for Ne groes to return to the discipline of non-violence in fighting racial discrimination. !MJmxsmm3ase On Saturday mMemmmmm.
