It appeared after the two meetings that the Czechoslovaks had been able to convince the Soviet block that they could stay firm allies within the Warsaw Pact while maintaining the free press, free speech and free travel reforms that were instituted since the old Stalinist order was ousted in January.

The mood was brightened further for toe Czechoslovaks by the announcement that toe last of the 16,000 Soviet troops who had lingered for more than a month after completion of Warsaw Pact exercises had left toe country. But reports of Soviet block maneuvers near Czechoslovakia continued. The announcement Wednesday the Soviet move-in came nearly 12 years after the Hus- sians crushed a Hungarian revolt in toe fall of 195S with massive tank-supported forces. In Washington, State Department sources said reports from the U.S. Embassy in Prague confirmed that Soviet, Polish and East German troops had crossed the Czechoslovak border.

A militant Negro committee, demanding "justice and equality," requested immediate ap pointment of a black member to the all-white, 33-member pol icy-making executive board. And it charged President I. W.

Abel "is lying" wten he denies that the AFL-CIO's biggest union discriminates against Negro members. Abel decided to meet toe issue head-on, immediately, bringing to toe floor the resolutions for appointment of Negroes. Abel said that he was "very concerned about this matter" and "we must not let our prejudices carry us away." "I don't think members of our union want separate but equal privileges," Abel said, and cheers from the 3,000 delegates present, including about 350 Negroes, rocked toe hall. James Jones, a Negro staff member, joined Abel in denouncing toe proposal. "I say to my Negro brothers, have toe courage to get yourself nominated and get yourself elected, and if you don't win don't cry discrimination," Jones said.

"You can't call yourself a man if someone has to make special privileges for you." There were seven speakers from the floor supporting the resolutions, six of them Negroes. "We are fighting for elimination of discrimination and segregation not only in our union but also in the plants where we work," said Thomas Johnson of Fail-field, chairman of the National Ad-Hoc Committee, which is spearheading demonstrations aimed at placing at least one Nepi-o on toe union's all-white policy-making execu- Hearings On Tax Claims Sought By 4 Defendants WASHINGTON (AP) Four of toe six defendants in a bribery conspiracy case in Charleston, W. have asked hearings on Internal Revenue Service claims for alleged delinquent taxes totaling $122,000. Contesting toe claims, according to papers on file with toe U.S. Tax Court, are Elkins, W.Va.

attorney Bonn Brown, former West Virginia State Finance Commissioner Truman Gore, former State Road Commissioner Burl Sawyers and former (Deputy State Road Commissioner Vincent Johnkoski. According to the IRS, toe bulk ot toe back is owed by Brown. Gore is accused of owing the government $14,500, Johnkoski $14,600 and Sawyers $17,000. The claims are based on tax returns filed in 1961, 1962 and 1963. The IRS has charged fraud was involved in the alleged delinquencies and is attempting to claim also a 50 per cent penalty in each case.

All four have filed statements denying any delinquencies, but saying if delinquencies are determined by the tax court they are not due to fraud. The IRS says the alleged unpaid taxes stem from income received from "certain and sums derived from real estate transactions. Brown's answer to toe IRS says separate corporate income tax returns were filed in connection with four corporations. The others gave similar answers. If fraud in connection with the tax returns were proved, Brown would be liable to nearly $38,000 in penalties.

The IRS claims $7,000 in penalties against both Sawyers and Johnkoski and a $6,000 penalty against Gore. The four are standing trial with former West Virginia Gov. W. W. Barron and Clarksburg auto dealer Alfred W.

Convention Protection Troops Sent To Chicago (Continued From Page 1) More than 5,000 regular Army troops have been given three days of riot training at Ft.

Johnson told newsmen "our pressure will be increased every day," and it possibly could lead to a walkout of black delegates --roughly 10 per cent of the 3,500 here--before toe 14th constitutional convention ends Friday. "We don't want that," said Johnson, "but it has been proposed and we are discussing it. "Negro representation in toe steelworkers in top positions is frossly inadequate.

Benton had testified, also in toe absence of toe jury, that he kept the hooks of toe Florida corporations, made bank deposits for them and compiled their income tax returns in 1961-62. Benton said that when IRS agents contacted him in 1963 and asked to see records of toe companies, he talked with Edgar Lawson, Schroath's brother-in- law. Benton said Lawson told him it would be all right to permit the IRS agents to inspect toe records. At one point in toe argument over toe government's planned use of the Florida corporation records defense attorney Robert G. Perry declared: "When they say they got only corporate records, they (toe government) reach the apex of sophistry." Judge Martin said after toe arguments were concluded that he nearly had his mind "made up" on the government's proposed use of toe records.
