J 'Split s who have followed the conflict through hundreds of thousands of words since it came into the open about three years ago find it hard to believe tliat Khrushchev can accept Mao's invitation to come to the Red Chinese capital at any time ui the near future without risking a serious loss of face. Our Washington people think that if the Red Chinese had given any indication that the way was open to a settlement and that they were prepared to accept Soviet leadership of the whole Commu nist bloc Khrushchev could go to Peking expecting to score a tri umph. But - If he goes on MAO'S TERMS, his action will be construed as a sign of weakness on his part, and evidence that Russia needs the Chinese worse than the Chinese need Russia. That would be bad for Kroosh. What will come of it? For an answer, let's go back Into history which is immense ly, valuable because of the dem onstrated fact that what has hap pened once may happen again. When Mahomet introduced Mo hammedanism to the Arabs, they were cautious about accepting it and asked for proof of his mirac ulous powers. Mahomet then or dered Mount Safa to come to him. When the mountain did not move, Mahomet said: "Allah is merciful. Had the mountain obeyed my words, it would have fallen on us Jo our destruction. I will therefore GO TO THE MOUNTAIN and thank Allah that he has had mercy on a stiff-necked generation. Old Mao has invited Mr. Kroosh to come to Peking. If Mr. Kroosh refuses to come, Old Mao may shrug his shoulders and say with Mahomet: "If Kroosh won't come to Mao, Mao will come to Kroosh." We'll see what we'll see. Exile Says Troops Used In Uprising MIAMI (UPI' A Cuban exile leader said Thursday night his underground asents reported that Soviet troops were used to quell an uprising in a province in souin ern Cuba. Seven Russian soldiers, includ ing an officer, were killed in the clash with "Cuban patriots." said Dr. Luis Conte Agero. leader of the Christian Anti-Communist Front and the National Resistance Front. Conte called upon Defense Sec retary Robert McNamara to in vestigate the report. "Mr. McNamara has said that if. the Soviets use troops to put down anv Cuban uprisings, the United States will act," Conte said. "The Soviets have done exactly that. I urge the secretary to check it out and then I believe the next move is up to him." . renin .iirt the battle occurred during the week of Feb. 1 at tlie town of Batabano. near the south ern coast of Cuba in Havana Province. He said a total of 226 Russian soldiers were thrown into the battle against the Cuban rebels. One of the victims of the fight ing. Conte said, was a Soviet army officer named "Kedcrof."

Peron. Unusual police activities were reported in various Argentine cities in the wake of reports the Roman Catholic Church had lifted Peron's excommunication. The Interior Ministry, which controls the police, said the moves merely were a precaution against pos sible extremist disorders. However, tlie secretaries of the army, navy and air force held an unscheduled meeting with the de fense minister at naval headquar ters Thursday night. there were also unconfirmed rumors that some army units had been alerted, and a small-scale joint army-air force simulated nuclear war game was scheduled for later today at the big Campo Mayo army base outside Buenos Aires. Military sources said the ma neuver was "intended as a show of trength to caution the navy against any ill-advised move. Naval leaders are believed an gry at a court decision which ranted legal standing to the Pcronist Popular Union party and cleared the Way for its participa tion in the election scheduled for June 23. The party swept local elections Buenos Aires last vear, but the armed forces nullified those elections and deposed President Arturo Frondizi for allowing tlie Peronists to lake part in them. China Said Seeking Purge Of Nikita LONDON iL'PP The Moscow- led Communist camp charged to day that Red China has demand ed the "removal" of Soviet party leaders, apparently including the purge of Premier Nikita Khrush chev. Tlie charge was contained in a manifesto-type Moscow . backed Communist policy outline, pub lished in the current Marxist Re view, the ideological organ of in ternational communism. The pub lication reached here today. "Outright attacks were leveled against the Communist party of the Soviet Union." the manifesto said, "its leaders were accused ot revisionism and cries were raised (or their removal." "In a word, a blow was struck against the ' Soviet' party which now bears tlie main burden of tile struggle against imperialism, a party which is the rallying cen. ter" of all the forces f'ghting (or socialism, it added. The manifesto said difference 'with Red China' aie on "cardi nal issues" and "cause grave concern." It terms them "serious indeed" and warned bluntly they may lead to "a split in the inter national Communist movement." At tlie tame tune, the mamlcs- Rail Negotiators Talk Issues For Arbitration SAN FRANCISCO (UPI-Nego- tialors (or Southern Pacific and the Brotherhood of Railway Clerks who ended five weeks of stormy contract debates by agreeing to arbitration of tlie issues, met to day to debate w hich issues should go to arbitration. The White House announced Thursday that both the railroad and the union had accepted Presi dent Kennedy's proposal to let a three-man . team of arbitrators break their deadlock over the dis placement of clerks by automation in seven western states. . However, federal mediator Frank O'Neill, who has been me diating the dispute since Feb. 6, said the negotiators have not agreed on which issues should be submitted to arbitration. "We've got to get signatures on paper here." O'Neill said afteri Senators Press Action On Constitution Revise SALEM (UPI) The Senate Committee on Constitutional re vision inined its house countci'Dat't Thursday in declaring it was de termined to produce a new con stitution this session. Senate Chairman Walter Pear son D-Portland. opened the joint meeting by announcing the Senate side had made the same decisioi the House committee made a few days earlier. The decision calls for the com mittees to press ahead with the intention of sending a proposed to laid down terms for a settle ment which follow closely the lincl pursued by Khrushchev's policy of peaceful coexistence, leaving little leeway for compromise with tlie hard line of possible war being pushed by Peking. The manifesto listed 14 Commu nist parties supporting Moscow against China. They included the parties of the United States, Italy. France. Kin land, Britain, Poland Czechoslo-! vakia, Bulgaria, Hungary, Spain Indonesia. Japan, Argentina. Chile "ami many others." "Red China withdrew from the Communist International Marxist Review last November. The Re view is published in Prague ami is considered the successor to the Cominform apparatus. The manifesto was to all appearances a well-prepared joint leply by the Moscow-led wing of communism to Peking's violent attacks against Khrushchev's so called revisionist and Trotskyitc deviation from the pure Marxist- U n 'ist line.

The committees also decided a few highly controversial sections might be spun off from the pack age document to stand or fall on I their own. The legislative committees were working section by section through the proposed document, written by the Oregon constitution al revision commission during the past two years. The reapportionment plan in the new document was threatened Thursday, when Pearson told ih". committees a substitute plan was being drafted by House Speaker Clarence Barton and Rep. Staf- lord Hanscll, R-Hermiston. Pearson said the substitute would be more acceptable to everybody. The plan in the proposed new document would bring 0 r e g o " even closer to the "one man, one vote" principle than it is now. It was likely that a Barton Hanscll proposal would be nearer Oregon's present rcapportionmen' plan, which still would leave Ore gon ahead of the other states in handing out legislative seats on a population basis.

We want to see how Gemini Bidault Asks For Asylum MUNICH, Germany UPI I Fugitive former French Premier George Bidault today made a formal bid to stay in West Ger many and carry on his political activities against French Presi dent Charles dc Gaulle. Bidault said in a letter to Ba varian state authorities that he did not want to leave Bavaria. But he added that if Bavarian authorities prevented him from carrying on his light against Dc Gaulle he would "regret it ex traordinarily." The letter was read to a news conference by Bavarian Interior 'Minister Hcinrich Junker. The letter said "I want lo know the exact conditions" for remaining! in Bavaria. According to Junker, Bidault did not indicate whether he was seek ing permanent political asylum or only a three-month "good con- duel" residence permit. ilavanan olficials have said Ixith would require Bidault to slop all political activity.

PPL Told To Build Hatchery WASHINGTON (UPI) - Tlie Federal Power Commission Thursday ordered Pacific Power and Light Co., Portland, Ore., to construct a fish hatchery at its Iron Gate Dam on the Klamath River in Northern California. The FPC also said Pacific should pay 80 ier cent of the op erating and maintenance costs of the hatchery, and that the Califor nia Department of Fish and Game should pay the remainder. The commission said it w a s aware that it could not order the California department to pay tlie 20 per cent costs, but it said it believed the state will find the cost division fair. It said it would retain jurisdiction, however, to settle any disputes in the matter. The ruling upheld in part an examiner's decision Dec. 14, 19i2 that Pacific should build the fish hatchery, but that the state should operate and maintain It. The examiner agreed with the state that the Iron Gate Dam eliminated about 16 miles of nat ural spawning grounds uted by king salmon, silver salmon and steelhcad trout. The commission said that since the utility caused the need for the fish hatchery, it should pav lor building it. It also said that the same reason required the util ity to pay for most of the main lenance. The succested solutions to thps problems at the hieh school r.-imn fast and furious once people in ine audience got a chance to air their opinions. One of tlie main ohiections to the split schedule is that it defi nitely denies the students the op portunity to take six courses.
