Soviet Radio
Condemns Czech
Flag Burners
By JAMES O. JACKSON
PRAGUE (UPD—The radio
voice of Soviet bloc occupation
forces today demanded the
crushing of anti-Russian demon
strations in Czechoslovakia.
Vitava Radio, broadcasting In
Czech from East Germany,
condemned the actions of
thousands of workers and
students who ripped down and
burned Soviet flags in Prague
and Bratislava Thursday, the
51st anniversary of the Bolshe
vik Revolution.
“When, at last, will the forces
possessing class awareness rise
against such low acts? When
will the Communist Party put
an end to such abuses?” said
the Kre mll n-backed radio
named for the river that runs
through Prague.
Vltava Radio expressed shock
over the stomping, shredding
and burning of hammer and
sickle emblems. “In Czechoslo
vakia this symbol is being
Insulted by provocaters,” it
said.

Marines on South Vietnam’s
northern border for the first
time since President Johnson
halted the bombing of North
Vietnam, military spokesmen
said today.
From three firing sites one
mile below the North-South

(DMZ), the North Vietnamese

Thursday, causing what spokes
men called “light” losses.

southern war zone.

WASHINGTON (CPI) — Ha
approaches to Saigon coincided
with a prediction by the South
Vietnamese general defending
the city that the guerrillas were
mustertng near the Cambodian
border for another thrust on the
capital.
Lt. Gen. Do Cao Tri told the
semiofficial Vietnam Press that
“intelligence documents”
showed the Communists were
not strong enough for another
Tet-type offensive, however.
Eight waves of U.S. 852
bombers Thursday dumped
their 20-ton bombloads on the
suspected guerrilla bivouacs
northwest of Saigon near the
Cambodian border, American
headquarters said.

American pilots had intensified
their raids against the Ho Chi

sneaking into South Vietnam’s
Central Highlands.

Thursday — the seventh and
eighth lost to ground fire in four
days, spokesmen said. Eight

were wounded.

three years as U.S. commission
er of education, says his
struggle to integrate public
schools has been disappointing,
frustrating and “to a degree
unsuccessful.”
“Progress has been mini
mal," he told UPI in an
interview. ‘‘Some 85 per cent of
Negro youngsters in the South
still go to almost fully
segregated schools. In the
North, the picture’s very much
the same.
“We still are confronted with
a school system in the United
States which is divided up on a
racial basis.”
The 50-year-old educator, who
this week became the first high
ranking member of the Johnson
administration to aimounce his
resignation, also dismissed as
campaign oratory Richard M.
Nixon’s pledge that as president
he would not use federal money
to force schools to integrate.
“I don’t want to get into an
argument with him because I
don’t think the remarks he
made were really carefully
examined,” Howe said.
“I think they were made in a
highly political context. I think
that as the president of the
United States he is going to
have to enforce the law and the
law is written in the Civil
Rights Act of 1964 and the
decisions of the court.
"He will find that certain
kinds of segregation do Indeed
represent discrimination and
that the laws say no federal
money can go to someone who
discriminates.
“I think that once he and his
staff get Into the details of this
problem they will find that it’s
not a question of using federal
moneys to enforce schools to
integrate—we have not done
that and are not doing that now
and it would be illegal if we did
it—but there is an obligation to
require the removal of any
segregation which is discrimina

Politicians Tackle
Job Os Power Transfer
By RAYMOND LAHR
WASHINGTON (UPD—Now
the nation’s political leaders
tackle the massive .job of
transferring power from a
Democratic to a Republican
administration.
Much must be done in the 10
weeks between Tuesday’s elec
tion and the Inauguration of
Richard M. Nixon Jan. 20. That
ceremony will take place in a
plaza outside the U.S. Capitol
housing a Congress still under
Democratic control.
After defeating Vice President
Hubert H. Humphrey with only
a slim plurality of the popular
vote, Nixon himself indicated he
would move with caution. From
Key Biscayne, Fla., where he
flew for a brief holiday, Nixon
announced:
—He would have no Cabinet
appointments to announce be
fore Dec. 5, a month after the
election.
—He would not go to Paris,
scene of the Vietnam talks, or
to Vietnam, unless President
Johnson believed such travel
would be useful.
Could Send Representatives
His travel announcement did
not rule out sending his own
representatives on missions
abroad.
With moves under way for the
transfer of power, votes cast In
Tuesday’s election still were
being counted.
The latest count showed
Nixon with 30,268,849 popular
votes, Humphrey with 29,981,643
and George C. Wallace with
9,309,616.
Nixon held a more comforta
ble lead in the electoral vote.
He carried 32 states with 302
electoral votes, 32 more than he
needed to win. Humphrey
carried 13 states and the
District of Columbia with 191
electoral votes. Wallace won
five states with 45 electoral
votes.
In the Senate, the GOP gained
five seats but the Democrats
held a 58 to 42 majority. A gain
of only four House seats by the
Republicans left the Democrats
ahead in that chamber with a
margin of 243 to 192.
