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,

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.

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

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

Clinton case may have great bearing on future
course of Negroes' struggle for equal status
By Al Kuettner
UPI Staff Writer
Last Friday toward the end
of a complicated three - hour
hearing on a civil rights case
involving Clinton, La., federal
Judge John R. 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.

on persons arrested on various
charges. ,
"This is why everybody wants
to get to federal court," Bell
said. "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.
