The journey ended here shortly befdre mid night but not before a violent reception in Alabama involving the beating of several persons and two bomb scares at a Birmingham airport. A throng of Negroes and some white persons greeted the 17 members of the Congress of Racial Equality at Municipal Airport. Almost as large was the group of uniformed police and plaid- clothesmen which swarmed through the terminal, warding off any threat of another night of violence.

Dr. Walter Bergman, 61, former professor at Michigan State, and a member' of the traveling CORE unit, said the group found "absolutely no compliance" to desegregation. "We have been searching for a degree of compliance In the South Deep far as In terstate traveling is concerned." Bergman tinted that future "freedom rides" would be held after saying that the "trip was it a complete success because we did not go into Mississippi."

He declined to say what it is about. Menshikov spent little more than a half hour at the White House, at his request. 'I only can say that I have just handed over to President Mr. Khrushchev's message which is a reply to the President's message of February," he told newsmen afterward. Kennedy has been Interested in meeting Khrushchev, perhaps as a follow-up on Kennedy's forthcoming trip to Paris at the end of this month.

In announcing plans for the inquiry, the Securities and Exchange Commission said Monday it wants to find out whether new laws or regulations are needed to protect Investors against market rigging and other shenanigans.

II the rules are changed, officials said, the revision probably will apply equally to all stock exchanges. The American Exchange is the only direct target of the new to quiry. It was singled out as a result of an SEC investigation of two of its members, Jerry and Gerard Re, The SEC on May 4 ordered the Res expelled from the exchange'on charges of widespread price-rigging and illegal stock sales between 1934 and 1960. Edward T. McCormick, president of the exchange, issued a statement saying, "We welcome thorough check of our opera Uons at this time because of the unwarranted inferences which have been made by some as a result of the recent action taken by the commission against Messrs.

The U.S., British, Soviet and French ministers were 'reported to have reached tacit agreement to avoid raising issues that might put new obstacles In the way of negotiations in -Laos between the warring factions for establishment of a single coalition government. So far the talks in Laos are still the preliminary sparring stage. The Western ministers at the 14-natton conference here reportedly planned to take up only the International aspects of a final settlement to create an Independent, neutral Laos.

They were expected to work behind the scenes, however, to promote a political union of the three rival factions in the the pro-Western Vientiane regime, the pro-Communist Pathet Lao and Prince Souvanna Phouma's self-styled neutralists, who share Soviet and Red Chinese backing with the Pathet Lao. An American concession authorized by President Kennedy broke a procedural deadlock to clear the way for the opening of the conference, four days late. The United States, after oppqs ing seating of Pathet Lao delegates at the conference, gave in rather than have the' conference collapse. The three big powers agreed all three Laotian groups would be as or The Uul ted Staler has decided to go to tha conference table despite boycott by the Laotian government, informants said. say whether that subject was discussed.

'I Neither would he further identify the Kennedy message to which ie said Khrushchev was replying. Asked if he was, referring a Kennedy message of 10 days ago, Menshikov replied "I think there is no misunderstanding." "That's all I can further information will have to come from'the White House," this white-haired Soviet diplomat added. Menshikov had smiled broadly and 'commented about "the fine Weather" as he arrived at executive mansion a jcouple minutes ahead ofchis one embassy nienk. Menshikov asked for the meeting and U.S. officials said he was bearing a message.

The envoy's request is deemed sufficiently important that Undersecretary of State Chester Bowles, top foreign policy official in the absence of Secretary of State Dean arranged to personally accompany Merishi- kov to the White House. Kennedy is known to be Inter- ested In seeing Khrushchev. Front the standpoint of the schedule, it would be convenient for him to add a Khrushchev meeting to his scheduled trip to France. Kennedy will meet with French President Charles de Gaulle In Paris at the end of this month. Authoritative sources said Kennedy had in mind .8 get-together with the Soviet neutral capital like Stockholm or Vienna.

The idea would be to have a short get-acquaintedi session of a day or two. Khrushchev publicly non-comraittel so far about such a meeting, Kennedy was said to have been considering a possible meeting with Khrushchev 'during the past eight weeks. The President will probably make up his mind definitely within a weeki it was stated. Kennedy would like to make Plain to the Soviet leader that the United States and its allies will stand firm on issues of vital Importance.
