Khrushchev Meets With Satellite Leaders Moscow - (UPI) - Premier Nikita S, Khrushchev today met with his satellite leaders from Eastern Europe and Asia for a conference expected to ratify the Moscow-Peking spilt and tighten the unity of the Soviet bloc. Kennedy amend their election laws by making a "preferential presi dential primary" mandatory. This, they say, would enable a second slate of "unpledged" presidential electors-an anti Kennedy slate-to appear on the state primary ballots. If the unpledged electors garnered more votes in the primary than the Kennedy slate; they would be the Dem ocratic party's state standard bearers. Kennedy's name would not appear on the state Democratic ballot in November. I u 5' 04
