DURHAM. N. C. (AP) — A window-smashing spree
broke out Thursday night during one of eight sympathy
marches marking the deaths of three young Negroes last
week in Orangeburg. S. C. The demonstrators carried
coffins to symbolize what they called "the brutal kill-
ings” in Orangeburg, and the trouble broke out in Dur-
ham during the burning of one such coffin. Protest
marches were held in Norih Carolina, South C arolina and
Virginia. ... .
Firemen with high-powered hoses moved in to put
out the coffin fire in Durham and students "turned on
them." police said. Some of the 200 Negro demonstrators
were knocked down by the pressure of the water. Some
then ran along downtown streets. Thirteen storefront
windows were smashed, trash cans were overturned and
officers were pelted with rocks. Three policemen suf-
fered slight injuries. Four arrests were made.
Gov. Robert McNair, who ordered Sou*h Carolina na-
tional guardsmen to Orangeburg during the rioting last
week, was burned in effigy in three of the eight demon-
strations amid student cries of "Bum. baby, burn.

WASHINGTON (AP) -
President Johnson will meet
with UN Secretary-General
U Thant in Washington next
WVdnesday, the White House
announced Friday.
Thant has just completed a
trip concerned largely with
Vietnam. During a tour of
Europe and Asia he talked
with Soviet, Indian. British
and French leaders as well
as representatives of Com-
munist North Vietnam.
There has been no indica-
tion in reports received here
so far that the UN
secretary-general has suc-
ceeded in breaking the im-
passe blocking the way to
Vietnam peace talks.
Thant reported on his trip
to Ambassador Arthur J.
Goldberg Thursday night, in
jan 80-minute session which
Goldberg termed a very use-
ful exchange of views.
George Christian, White
House press secretary, said
i Thant indicated to Goldberg
that "he would welcome a
meeting with the president
as hi' has done in the past
few days with other heads of
state he has visited.”
Accordingly it ha» been
arranged by the secretary-
general to meet with the
president next Wednesday,”
Christian said.
Following a 90-minute con-
ference with Thant Thursday
night, Goldberg told report-
ers: "The secret ary-general
was kind enough to inform
me about his talks relating
to Vietnam In the various
capitals he visitpd. Of
course. I will report this to
Washington.”
Thant talked in Paris Wed-
nesday with Mai Van Bo.

delegation in France, and

That reportedly was con-
vinced that U. S. and North
Vietnamese positions are too(
far apart to hope for an ear-
ly peace conference.
Secretary of State Dean
Rusk said Wednesday the
latest space probes between
the United States and North
Vietnam have not produced
any basis for halting the
bombing and opening talks.

eign ministry also said

Informed sources in Lon-

word from both Paris and
New Delhi that the North
Vietnamese told Thant Hanoi

President Johnson’s terms
for peace talks.
The informants gave this
account:

Peyote Ban Attacked
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — The Texas Civil Liberties
Union said Friday it will defend an official of the Native
American Church charged with possession of peyote.
David S. Clark, head of the Native American Church of
Navajoland, Window Rock, Ariz., was arrested in Miran-

defines peyote, which comes from cactus, as a dangerous

he will seek to establish that the recent amendment to

WASHINGTON (Reuters)
— White House press secre-
tary George Christian said
Friday President Johnson
has “the utmost confidence"
in the job Gen. William C.
Westmoreland was doing as
American field commander
in Vietnam.
Christian dismissed as
gossip and rumors” contin-
uing reports Westmoreland
would be replaced.
The latest report, from two
Republican congressmen,
was that he would be re-
lieved of his command by
Easter.
Christian said that as far
as he knew there were no
plans to relieve Westmore-
land at this point.
But he pointed out that
military assignments do not
last indefinitely and he sim-
ply did not know what the fu-
ture held.
"I have no idea how long
Gen. Westmoreland will re-
main in the assignment he
now’ has,” he said.
"But I have no question
whatever about the presi-
dent's confidence in the job
he is doing.”

In Senate
WASHINGTON (AP) - A
petition to invoke the sen-
ate’s anti-filibuster rule in an
effert to cut off debate on
civil rights legislation was
ready for filing Saturday.
Majority leader Mike
Mdnsfield (D-Mont.) said the
petition has far more than
the 16 signatures of senators
required.
The petition will automati-

thirds majority of senators
voting to put the debate-
