Khrushchev, in a seeming rebuff to Peking, was disclosed Saturday to have left Moscow as negotiators from Communist China and Russia met in the first busi ness session o their historic showdown conference. Khrushchev, who had re turned to Moscow only two days ago from a trip to East Germany, was in Kiev. The premier's absence from the city at the time of the vital talks was disclosed by Moscow radio. Diplomatic circles said they considered Khrushchev's ab sence a snub because it is cus tomary for the Soviet leader to receive personally all high ranking foreign Communist delegations. Ping Hsiao-Ping, head of the Chinese delega tion, is the No. 2 rhan in the Chinese Communist party af ter Mao Tze-Tung. May Meet Later It was possible thai he would meet later with the Chinese. There was no explanation of Khrushchev's seemingly pointed absence from the So viet capital during the talks, but there was little doubt about the obvious indirect re buke to the Communist Chin ese delivered by publication Saturday of a new peace ap peal from President Kennedy. The Soviet news agency Tass revealed Kennedy's ap peal of Friday as the Soviet and Chinese Communist ideo logical experts met- in the grey stone headquarters of the Communist party central committee. The publication was seen as another rebuff to the Communist Chinese who have rejected Khrushchev's policy of "peaceful coexist ence" with the West. The message from Kennedy to Khrushchev thanked the Soviet premier for his July 4 offering of good wishes and urged a joint effort to solve "key problems which divide us." ' The government newspaper Izvestia printed the text of the Kennedy message Satur day night but noticeably fail ed even to mention the Sino Soviet meeting. Reliable informants said the two negotiating delega tions confined their secret session Saturday to a presen tation of "position papers."

"We certainly are not go ing to stick our heads in the sand and build a fence around Parco d'Alba to. keep out all migratory labor," - Medford Parks and Recreation Direct or Robert L. Ha worth said Saturday. "But, the city of ficials do think that the pear industry, county and city should meet this fall to dis cuss development of an area which migratory labor could use for overnight camping." The two representatives of the local pear industry, Don Root and Dunbar Carpenter, agreed that migratory labor should not be allowed to camp in Tarco d'Alba. Extra Cost Haworth noted use by la borers tends to drive out all picnickers, and cost the city $850 in extra operational ex penses during a six week pe riod due to broken fixtures in the restrooms. It "also hinders the early morning irrigation of the park, he explained. The city realizes, however, the impor tance of the pear industry to the local economy and is wil ling to compromise, he added. Two alternatives suggested are locating the office in the oid secretary of state's office on the South Pacific highway across from the Roxy Ann bowling alley, or migratory labor camping in the open space between the armory and the ball park. The multiple use concept could be carried out by allow ing migratory labor to use the proposed baseball park dressing rooms when not in use for athletic events. It ...

Peron. - Tough security orders were to "repress with all energy" possible disturbances by Pe ronists angered by the mili tary government's rejection early Saturday of their de mands for a seven-day post ponement of the elections. The elections were called to try to restore stability to a nation which has witnessed successive revolts, cabinet cri ses and high unemployment since President Arturo Fron dizi was deposed by the mili Labor Market Is Flooded, Except In Skilled Jobs The local labor market has been flooded with applica tions except in the more skill ed occupations, John J. Pat ton, manager of the Medford office of State Employment service, reported Saturday. The end of school was fol lowed by an army of student job seekers marching on the employment agency asking for summer work. There are also many people moving into the county or inquiring about job opportunities here, Patton said. There is less summer work for students this year than a year ago, largely due to the lack of thinning in the or chards, the manager of the employment office noted.

Gold Hill. Central Point police reported. The collision occurred at the intersection of First and Oak sts., Central Point. Central Point police said the boy was traveling at a high rate of speed and was unable to stop when he aaw the ap proaching car. He crashed Into the side of the auto, officers said. He suffered severe head injuries, which could have been avoided, police pointed out, if he had been wearing a crash helmet or other safety device. He was brought by Medford ambulance to Sacred Heart hospital and had not re gained consciousness late Sat urday morning. Ilia, ia one of the favorites. Former Argentine dictator Juan Peron, in exile in Spain, said Friday in Madrid that the election, in which some Peronist electors were disqual ified by the government; were a "big farce." He predicted that the "masses" would resort to insurrection. (UPI) Police Deployed tary 15 months ago. Chances are they will not. Fill Numerous Posts ' 1 The elections are to fill 21, 173 elective posts ranging from president to local alder men, including 192 federal deputies, 22 governors and 46 federal senators. Elections in 1962 were cancelled by the military because ot sweeping Peronist victories. .. . The Peronist boycott " left three major presidential can' didatcs but none is considered likely to win enough votes today to gam an absolute ma jority in the Argentine elec toral college July 31. If they do not, new elections will be necessary later. The armed forces pledged to heed the re sults of these elections. Of the nine presidential chards resulted from the un favorable weather experienc ed when the fruit trees were in bloom. The labor dispute in the lumber industry also was mentioned by Patton as a rea son for more men coming here from other parts of the state. The strike has not af fected the local mills. ; Unemployment has been about one per cent higher than it was in the Rogue River valley one year ago, but, ex cept for fruit work, the over all employment situation ap pears to be generally good for the summer months, Patton stated. Migratipn from out of state continues to be heavy, accord ing to the employment report. These people, Patton explain ed, are not itinerant workers, but individuals looking for new locations away from large centers of population. Rela tively few of these people are able to find employment and remain in this area at the present time. Construction of a natural gas pipeline into this area was mentioned by Patton as an encouraging development for labor forces. Many industries cannot operate without such a source of fuel, he explained. The availability of natural gas should have an important effect on future developments in this area.

Gen. Pedro E. Aramburu, for mer provisional president and nomirae of the Unity party; Arturo Una of the People s Radicals and Oscar Alende ot the radical Intransigents. Horacio Sueldo of the Chris tian Democrats, who briefly yielded top place on his tick' ct to a Peronist, had a possl bility of picking - up large numbers - of . stray Peronist votes by those not heeding the party boycott call. A complex new proportion al representation plan was openly designed to prevent Peronists from gaining major ity control was in effect for the balloting. The Peronists control possibly 35 per cent of the popular vote. These precautions and the security measures stem from the fact that Peron, from his exile in Madrid,: still wields considerable influence over the working class to whom he left a mixed legacy of la bor advances and harsh to talitarianism. He was overthrown eight years ago and Argentina has remained a house divided. Pe ron's supporters still follow him blindly; his opponents cheerfully would shoot him. Peronist ranks have swelled as a result of vociferous anti- Peronist officers and Argen tina's economic plight. Peronist union leaders in the General Labor Confeder ation (CGT) voted Friday night to call a 24-hour general strike next Friday if the elections went ahead on sched ule. Announcement of a pro test demonstration Friday eve ning brought out 5,000 work ers to CGT headquarters - a small crowd by previous stan dards.

S. aircraft carrier Wasp in the area of the Caribbean where the fishing ship Sno' Boy has been missing for five days with 40 persons aboard. The Coast Guard said it has no identification on the body but "it was found floating in the same general area as de bris" from the missing ship. Earlier in the afternoon, a deck house, life jacket and a white spar, believed to be from the missing ship, were spotted by one of at least 10 Navy and Coast Guard planes in the search. The debris and the body Glenn Rumored As Candidate For U.S. Senate Columbus, Ohio - (UPD - As tronaut John H. Glenn may resign from the space program to run as a Democratic candi date for the U.S. Senate from his native Ohio next year, in formed Democratic sources said Saturday. The plan to put Glenn into the race was seen as a move to strengthen President Ken nedy's, hand in Ohio, which he lost in 1960, and to give the party a strong candidate against the Republican nomi nee expected to be U. S. Rep. Kobcrt Tatt Jr. Informed sources said the plan depends in part upon whether Democratic Sen. Ste phen M. Young, a surprise winner in 1958, decides to run for reelection. Party leaders would be re luctant to put a candidate into the field Against Young, who is In his 70s. Young has kept silent about his plans al though he Indicated regularly until recently that he would not soelc reelection. Word that Democratic' na tional party leaders were quietly checking in Ohio on Glenn's eligibility as a can didate caught leaders of both parties by surprise. The Ma rine colonel's civilian address is New Concord, Ohio. Democratic State Chairman William L. Coleman and for mer Gov. Michael V. Di Salle, a recent dinner guest at the White House, said the reports were news to them. Republi can Stale Chairman Ray C. Bliss, who has masterminded some major GOP victories, said he had heard nothing of any move to put Glenn into the race. But Ohio Democrats had been looking for a candidate, assuming that Young, in his 70s, would not run again. They admitted they had no body other than Young with a statewide following. Obvi ously if the fumed astronaut could be persuaded to run they would have a ready made candidate, who is world fa mous and an eloquent public speaker. There was no word from Glenn but reports have fil tered out from the National Aeronautics and Space admin istration (NASA) In Texas that Glenn might soon put aside his actual space work to become a public relations man for the agency.

U.S., Haiti Engage In Comedy Of Errors Over Ambassador Thurston's Furniture Washington-iUPIi-The United States and Haiti have been playing out a comedy of er rors over the U. S. ambassa dor's furniture - except that for the ambassador it's not at all comical. It all started June 14 when the Haitian government an nounced that U. S. Ambassa dor Raymond H. Thurston was no longer welcome there. Thurston was in Washington on consultations at the time. He was declared unwelcome after a long period of turmoil between the U. S. and Haiti. 'Only or 'Een'?

Missing Since Tuesday The Sno' Boy has been miss ing on a fishing trip from Kingston, Jamaica, to a small island 80 miles to the south west since Tuesday. Still earlier Saturday, bam boo poles - part of the ship's cargo - were found by a fish ing vessel, dimming hopes of finding the Sno' Boy intact. A fishing vessel Friday picked up a plywood dining table from the ship. The Coast Guard said the white spar appeared to be part of the missing ship's mast. The hull of the Sno' Boy is also white. CRITICAL OF OWN RACE - James Mere dith, right, the Negro who Integrated the University of Mississippi and became a hero to his race, charged at the NAACP conven tion in Chicago Saturday that what he called "intolerance and bigotry'; among his own Meredith Leaders Chicago - HIPII - James H. Meredith, the Negro of "Ole Miss" who was a hero to his race only a year ago, charged Saturday that "intolerance and bigotry" among the lead ers of his own people may doom the civil rights move ment. Meredith's bitter blast, de livered in an exclusive inter view at the convention of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peo ple (NAACP), was the latest and moat dramatic develop ment in a widening rift be tween the nation's civil rights groups. Rift Developing , The rift is between the Ne gro moderates" who favor the traditional NAACP tactics of courtroom campaigns for civil rights and the new "di rect actionals" who fight for their case In mass demonstra tions and street rallies. The NAACP,. In a stormy wccklong convention which ended Saturday, took a long step towards joining the ranks ot the "direct actionlsts." Meredith spoke out after he was subjected to a tongue lashing before an NAACP youth group last night. He was attacked for being a "moder ate," for using the phrase "burr heads," and for oppos ing the NAACP's planned rlod to pick up his belongings. The department announced that he would do so. But It turned out that, some how, the U. S. government had incorrectly translated the note. It actually said Thurs ton could not return "even" to pick up his belongings. The State department's an nouncement of Thurston's plans so angered the Haitians that they fired off a new note saying he positively could not return. The trouble was that virtually all the ambassador's furniture and his wife's pos sessions were still in their home in Port-au-Prince. Also, the furniture was in termingled with other people's furniture since the Thurstons Body For Lost Ship The search for the Sno' Boy was intensified Saturday after the harbor master at Kingston definitely identified the table as part of the Sno' Boy. The table was found by a boat identified as the Marisuta. A number of planes from the aircraft carrier Wasp and from Guantanamo Naval Base, Cuba, were sent up to aid Coast Guard vessels in look ing for the missing boat. It left Kingston Monday night for Northeast Cay, a tiny is land 80 miles from Jamaica. The Coast Guard said the spot where the table and bamboo pieces were found was "not far from Kingston." people may mnnt Wllh Y ( r-i III Criticizes Negro For 'I n mass march on Washington next month. Top NAACP spokesmen, from Executive Secretary Roy Wilklns on down Indicated they believed the slender Air Force veteran had fallen out of step with the civil rights movement.

Only believe, all things are possible if you only believe." Before Meredith spoke Fri day, hundreds of NAACP del egates walked out on a Detroit civil rights leader who had criticized his local NAACP chapter of "dragging its feet." While the NAACP leaders argued amongst themselves, racial tensions continued else- REBUFF ANTICIPATED Stockholm - (UPD - The Swedish Parliament is ex pected to turn down a Soviet invitation to send a delega tion to Russia in the wake of the diplomatic furor over Air Force spy Col.

The State department con ceived a plan to seek permis sion for Mrs. Thurston to make a quick trip to Haiti. While negotiating with the Haitian government for this, the department swore news men to secrecy. But suddenly a new situation arose. Haitian Ambassador Dr. Louis Mars was In Port-au-Prince and wanted to go to Europe. The U. S. had declared him "persona non grata" In retal iation the same day Thurston was declared unwelcome. Hai ti asked the State department if Mars could transit the Unit ed States on his old U.

The earlier reports said two crewmen were Americans and the others aboard were) Jamaicans. The Coast Guard said it was not "speculating" on the fata of the boat. "We have not es tablished whether she is afloat or has gone down," a spokesman said.

Then, last week, the Hai tian government formally not ified Washington it would not let Mrs. Thurston enter the country. It said this was be cause of the trouble the U. S. had tried to make for Mars.
