Berbers siding with Moroccans in border fight By Aline Mosby UPI Staff Writer BOU-ARFA, Morocco (UPI) Yelling, chanting Berber vil lgers surged around us, pinning us in front of the army garri son in this desert town near the Algerian-Moroccan frontier. "Long live the king (Hassan of Morocco)!" they chanted to gether in Arabic. "Make stew out of (Algerian president An med) Ben Bella! Give us weap ons to defend the true frontier of Morocco!" The Moroccans staged a wild, 45-minute demonstration when a group of foreign correspondents arrived here en route to the frontier near the village of Ich, raided Friday by the Algerian army, Bou-Arfa Is 90 miles north west of Colomb Bechar, Al geria. The village Is Inhabited by simple, weatherbeaten people who herd the goats and camels through the unpaved streets They are edgy because their adobe houses and families are In the troubled frontier area, Crowd Gathers When we arrived, men, young and old, raced over the desert to stare at us Westerners, a sight seldom seen in the Moroccan desert. We were taken to an army garrison. The villagers gath ered across the street, quietly watching the photographers. Then one spotted a tape rec order and began to shout his feelings to the newsmen, who had come from so far away. Immediately, leathery - faced men in modest white robes and ragged turbans joined in to demonstrate their solidarity against Ben Bella. Yelling in near - frenzy, they swept across the street. The correspondents retreated behind the garrison walls but the mob, smiling and chanting, charged through the gateway. Women arrived, some so ex cited that their white veils slipped off to reveal blue tat toos on cheeks and chins. Silver bracelets Jangling, they shouted "Ben Bella is a pig." Hold Back Crowd Soldiers had to join hands to keep back the crowd. Finally army officers sneaked the 22 foreign correspondents out the back door to waiting trucks. The crowd ran after us, bare foot children trying to shake hands. Later, a Moroccan army cap tain said the demonstration "was all from the heart." "This dispute between Algeria and Morocco is not just a prob lem of frontiers. We have chosen the way of freedom and liberty, like Americans. . ." he said as we drove toward the border. 'Algeria has chosen a dictator." At Figulg, the commanding officer of the army post was shouting over the telephone to his general, "Situation station ary, no change." He told us that his post of 70 men is "ready for any enemy attack."

U.S. wheat exports may exceed record billion bushels this year By Gaylord P. Godwin UPI Staff Writer WASHINGTON (UPt) - The Agriculture Department pre dicts that U.S. wheat exports in the current marketing year may exceed a record 1 billion bushels. In the 320 years that Ameri can wneat nas Been snipped abroad, the previous record ex port year was 1961 when 718 million bushels were sold over seas. The deparlment said the pos sible shipment of 200 million bushels to the Soviet Union and Eastern European Communist bloc countries will be only part ly responsible for breaking the wheat export record. Even be fore the anticipated sales to the Communists was approved by President Kennedy, wheat ex ports for 196;i-64 were estimated unofficially at around 800 mil lion bushels. The United Stales long has been the world's leading wheat grower its production has been exceeded only a few times by the U.S.S.R. when a good grow ing season blessed that coun tryand now it ranks as the No. 1 exporter. Its nearest com petitors are Canada and Aus tralia, both of which export wheat to the Soviets and to Pooe Issues plea for co-existence VATICAN CITY (UPI)-Pope Paul VI, in a dramatic plea for co-existence between Catholic ism and communism, Sunday called on Communist China to restore religious freedom to its people. Addressing himself directly to government leaders in China, where the church has been to tally suprcssed, the Pope said that being a Catholic does not compromise a citizen s loyalty to his country. "Belonging to the Church, rather than weakening. strengthens and increases the value o the relationship of cit izens with their country," he said, "and makes of them the guarantors and participants in her security . . . and her true progress." The Pope spoke after he had consecrated It missionary bish ops from around the world in St. Peter's iiasiiioa. H was World Mission Day in the church, and the Pope said it grieved him there were no Chi nese among the bishops he con secrated and no Chinese stu cnts attending the missionary college where he spoke. The empty seats at the Ecu menical Council that should be filled by bishops from China, he adder!, are "like thorns of pain" to him. CHET MYEFW Monday, October 21, 1963 Communist China. Canada re cently agreed to sell 239 million bushels of wheat to the Soviets. The department traces the United States wheat trade back to the early 1640s. Some wheat then was shipped to Europe, but the West Indie s Dutch, Portuguese, French, and Brit ishwas the main market. The "bread" colonies of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, supplied most of the wheat for export. Crop failures and the Napole onic Wars opened up a thriving wheat market in Europe be tween the American Revolution and the War of 1812. Wheat trade with Europe dwindled dur ing the war of 1812, and didn't pick up again until the growing industrialization of Britain in the 1940's. Abolition of Britain's duties on grains combined with a famine In Ireland and part of Europe meant a further stepup in purchase of American wheat. The Agriculture Department has ended its current turkey purchasing program for the na tional school lunch. The depart ment said all purchase contracts will not be fulfilled until about Thanksgiving. The department began buying frozen turkeys Aug. 30 for the school lunch and spent $24.8 bil lion for almost 43.6 million pounds. The total purchase represents about 7.5 servings per child dur ing the school year for about 16 million children.

Brown of Hous ton Tex., leaned across the bench, fixed no one in particu lar with a flicker of a smile and made an observation. "I want it noted," said Brown glancing at the courtroom clock, that we have been here for three hours trying to decide whether a state or a federal court has jurisdiction in this case. This is twice the amount of time we have devoted to any other case on appeal this week." Brown's remark did not go unnoticed by his fellow judges of the 5th Circuit Court of Ap peals, Elbert Tuttle and Griffin Bell, both of Atlanta. As the civil rights strug gle dug deeper into the nation's life, the conflict over a state s right to control demonstrations through local laws was becom ing an increasingly potent issue in the legal side of the dispute. Much in the future could hinge on the final outcome of the Clinton case. Encourage Negroes In that situation, the town of Clinton, a rural community in eastern Louisiana near the Mis sissippi border, was visited by the Congress of Racial Equality In this big- world of ours, the number of people who can buy U. S. Savings Bonds is very small indeed. Only Americans have the privilege each 17 of the world s population. In case you never considered it a privilege before, talk to a few of the other 16. The ones who've literally climbed walls and swum rivers to find some of the benefits Bond dollars help protect for us. The benefit of personal liberty, for instance, that gives us the choice to say, "Yes, I want to save some of my money in Bonds" or "No, I don't want to invest in Bonds." In spite of their "restricted" sales, though, U. S. Savings Bonds happen to be the most widely held security in the Th$ VS. fwruunl (CORE). Its purpose reportedly was to help encourage Negroes (who make up well over 50 per cent of the population of the area) to register for voting. Clinton attorney Van Buskirk told the three judges, during Friday's hearing, that the result of CORE'S visitation was to eliminate good race relations and to bring the town to the verge of bloodshed. He said young children were being taught disobedience of the law by CORE. Then he begged the court to tear up its stay of a state court injunction which had effectively halted CORE'S activ ities. On the other side of the argu ment was William Kunsler, the brilliant attorney for the Ghandi Society for Human Rights. He has helped draft one of the civil rights proposals now before Congress and has written as well as argued many phases of the long racial struggle. Kunsler's position was that the federal court should take jurisdiction in the Clinton case away from the state courts. His argument was the usual one: That persons arrested on state charges, particularly In civil rights cases, often linger in jail for weeks or months. Fur thermore, he said, local govern ments can easily block "consti tutional" activities through in junctive processes.

"We end up with cases be cause people can't get heard in state courts. This is getting to be a serious matter. There is a point at which the federal court system can break down with all these cases. We must find a way to keep these cases from flooding us." At Bell's insistence, Buskirk made a guess at the length of time it would take for an ap peal to wind through the Supe rior Court in Louisiana about 60 days. Kunsler hoped to get action in the federal court in about 60 hours. The issue to be decided: Whether the three judges would retain, modify or remove their stay of the state court injunc tion against CORE. "I hope somebody doesn't get killed before this thing is set tled," Buskirk told the court. Looking for a car? Check Clas sification No. 100 for best results.

He said it was the consensus "that any other type of hear ingone in which witnesses would not be under oath would be meaningless."
