There was no immediate in dication of how many Turks were trapped in the school and surrounding vicinity. Officials reporting the encir clement by the Greeks said tension is high." They said vi olence was possible at any time. It was the second time this week that the Polis school has been a focal point of communal friction. More than 7w 'iuriasn Cvoriots took refuge there ear lier in the week after Greek- Turkish fiehtine swept the town in the tense northwest SO miles west of Nicosia. Fears of a major outbreak of violence in the northwest grew with reports that President Archbishop Makarios no longer can control the armed Greek Cypriot bands In the country side. The diplomatic reports said irregular Greek Cypriot troops in the rugged Polis region were operating against Turkish Cyp riots independently of govern ment restraints imposed from Nicosia.

There unconiirmaa reports Csrairal peons under sunny State refuses second juror in Ruby trial DALLAS (UPU-Jaek Ruby's defense today accepted its sec ond prospective juror in 31 tries, but the state dismissed him with a peremptory chal lenge. The man who was accepted by defense attorney Melvin Bel li was a tall, lean Texas-type, James C. Bland, 42, an appli ance store manager witn a wife and two children. The World War n submarine service veteran told the state's attorneys that he had no scru ples against the death penalty. Apparently what impressed Belli most about him was bis answer to Belli's question as to whether he could be a fair jur or. "With God's help" he re plied, "I feel I could be fair.' Compliments Prospect "That's one of the nicest ex pressions I have heard since 1 came to Dallas," Belli said. Shortly after that, he ac cepted Bland. Dist. Atty. Henry M. Wade exercised the second of his 15 allowed peremptory challenges on Bland. No reasons are given with such challenges. The defense earlier had exer cised its sixth peremptory chal lenge to throw out a juror after Judge Joe B. Brown had sus tained objections to all ques tions pertaining to bias in Dai las. Venireman Bill Bohannon, s traveling salesman for the Lone Star Steel Co., was summarily dismissed by Belli after the prosecution objected to a stream of questions and the judge refused the objections. Ask Mora Challenges One juror was picked Thurs day. Judge Brown had under advisement Belli's request for additional peremptory chal lenges. Belli had set today as the deadline for proving his con tention that Dallas feels so guilty it cannot give the slayer of Lea Harvey Oswald a fair trial. Brown sustained objections to questions such as whether Bo hannon found in his travels bias against Ruby. Questions as to whether Dal las is the proper place to try the 52-year-old striptease club operator drew another round of objections. They were sus tained. Admits Some Opinions Asst. defense attorney Joe H. TonahiU noted that Bohannon, sitting tensely In the box with his hands folded, had testified he had opinions on some things pertaining to the case. second man had been arrested. The attack did not appear connected with Turkey's great est current crisis, the Cyprus dispute with Greece. Inonu, a veteran political leader since the time of the At aturk revolution that trans formed Turkey, appeared calm and even jocular after the inci dent.

President sees Sino-Russian rift as spreading civil war By Marriman Smith UPI Staff Writer LOS ANGELES (UPI) -President Johnson, shortly before starting his formal diplomatic talks with President Adolfo Lo pez Mateos of Mexico, today pictured the Sino-Soviet rift as "spreading civil war." In a speech to an outdoor au dience of more than 35,000 per sons at the University of Cali fornia at Los Angeles, Johnson with Lopez Mateos at his side, used the strongest terms of his White House career to appraise the squabble between Moscow and Peiping. The President called for an end to bloodshed on Cyprus, and "absolutely fair" settlement of differences with Panama and he also advised Communists to realize they were playing "a deeply dangerous game" In South Viet Nam. Larger than any of these trou bles, Johnson said, was what he called "the spreading civil war among Communists." "And larger still," he said, "is the steadily growing strength of the worldwide com munity of freedom." Meat at Airport Johnson flew to Los Angeles from Palm Springs this morn ing and met Lopez Mateos at International Airport. After the special convocation at UCLA where both men spoke and re ceived honorary degrees, John son and Lopez Mateos planned lice be was opposed to the May, 1960, revolution that deposed former Premier Adnan Men der es and put Gen. Cemal Gur- sel into power. Inonu, Men- deres' long-time political oppo nent, was elected premier when Gursel ended military rule and became president.

With this generalized Intro duction, the President then ex plored a series of crisis areas in which the United States has a major stake. Despite what he called "the dangers of today," the President said the United States would not be pushed from the path to peaco by dis ruptive efforts of communism. He said the United States never would be "intimidated by any state anywhere in the world that chooses to make it self our adversary." There is no panic on our agenda," he said. "We are in terested In the deeds of our ad versaries, not their creeds. Let them offer deeds of peace and our own response will be swift." Lopez Mateos in his remarks prepared for the UCLA cere mony steered clear of topical references and concentrated in stead on a philosophic approach to world problems. The Mexican president thought that to achieve the po tential of the zutn century, there should be a concerted ef fort "to abolish cold war, wipe out the origins of international tension and to increase under standing among peoples and governments."
