Egypt Agrees To Clear Canal, Free 15 Ships CAIRO (AP) Egypt nas ti- nally agreed to clear the southern half of the Suez Canal and release 15 foreign ships trapped in the waterway, the semiofficial newspaper AI Ahram indicated today. Al Ahram, which often speaks for President Gamal Abdel Nasser, said Nusser's government "undertook an extensive study of the problem in all its aspects" and established that clearance of the southern part of the waterway was "feasible." The paper said the government made the study in response to repeated requests from Poland, France and Britain, which have ships trapped in the canal, and from India. Egypt turned down a similar request last September, insisting that no part of the canal could be cleared until Israeli troops withdrew from the east bank of the canal and other ter- iltories they occupied in the June war. By refusing to clear the northern end of the canal and reopen it to navigation, Nasser would still retain a bargaining lever to support his demands for Israeli withdrawal.

Al Ahram gave no indication when clearing operations might start or how long they were expected to take. Fourteen of the ships are trapped in the Great Bitter Lake and one is in Lake Tira- sah. They include the American freighter African Glenn, which was chartered by the U.S. Defense Department, as well as ships flying the flags of Britain, France, West Germany, Poland, Bulgaria, Sweden and Czechoslovakia. Skeleton crews have been left aboard the ships to maintain them and the rest of the crewmen have been sent home.

(AP Wlrephoto) Dave Brubeck Quartet Quits PITTSBURGH (AP) The members of the Dave Brubeck Quartet went their own ways today after a brilliant jazz career of more than a decade. The four performed their mu sic spiced with unorthodox, varied rhythms for what they said would be their last time together Tuesday night in the Pittsburgh Hilton before a crowd of 1,700. It had been nearly 17 years since Brubeck combined his piano with the alto sax of Paul Desmond in San Francisco.

After trying out an assortment of sidemen, the pair settled on drummer Joe Morello and bassist Gene Wright six years later, In the 11 years the four impro vised together with counterpoint over shifting but insistent rhythms, they rose as a quartet and individuals to the top of the nation's jazz polls. Brubeck said the group's breakup was. a unanimous desire to branch into something else and end their vagabond existence. Brubeck, who was trained as a classical musician and confesses a deep debt to Bach, said he'll turn to composing. His oratorio, "The Light in the Wilderness," is to be performed at the University of North Carolina and in Cincinnati during the next two months.

The travelers, whose reports could not be checked, said soldiers are guarding all important transport terminals, bandits are roving the streets and countryside unchecked, the power struggle between supporters of Mao Tse-tung and President Liu Shac-chi continues unabated, and students and others have defied orders to turn in their arms. ents, in Morganfield, and Madl- sonville, Christmas weekend, Veronica Voaa, Cost the civil rights campaign." Headley, chief of the department for 19 years, said he took his action after the Christmas holiday weekend in which there were 58 violent crimes in the area, including three murders.

"In only three, white criminals were involved; the rest were Negro men," Headley said. "Community relations and all that sort of thing has failed," Headley said. "We have done everything we could, sending speakers out and meeting with Negro leaders. But it has amounted to nothing." Headley's statement was in contrast to recent comment by Dade County Sheriff E. Wilson Purdy who has credited his department's community relations programs and special training projects with successfully, preventing civil disorders.

"We haven't had any serious problems with civil uprising and looting because I've let the word filter down that when the looting starts, the shooting starts," the chief told newsmen. "These are my orders: Not three days after, but now." "This is war," he said. "I meant it, every bit of it." Headley, 62, who joined the fcrce as a patrolman in 1937, became chief Aug. 11, 194 He successfully fought moves to replace him in the past. When a reporter asked what reaction he expected, Headley said: "I don't care how anyone reacts.

My job is to enforce the peace and I'm going to do it to the best of my ability. I hope I have the support of the whole city, including the city leaders. Mayor Stephen P. Clark, who was not present at the news conference, said later, "I am confident Chief Headley and his police force will take the proper steps combat crime on the streets. When you deal with murderers you have to deal on common terms.

Felons, especially people who take life in their own hands, will be treated in like kind." Marvin Davies of Tampa, state field director for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, said, "We will do all we can to get him (Headley) to resign. necessary, we will get a lawsuit to keep him from enforcing this type of arbitary action. I'll be before the City Council trying to get him suspended until big attitude changea" WASHINGTON (AP) Former Gov. George Wallace of Alabama appeals to have won his bid to qualify for California's 1968 presidential ballot. Wallace, whose drive to get the 66,059 California registrants needed to qualify his American Independent party was pronounced almost certain to fail by state election officials just two weeks ago, already has better than 77 per cent of nV.t total in just nine counties.

H. P. Sullivan, assistant secretary of state, SRid Tuesday a certified total of 51,206 Californians have registered to date as American Independents in the state's nine major counties. With Jan. 2 the deadline for registrations, said Sullivan.

"It looks unofficially like he will make it." Another 1968 candidate, Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy, meanwhile called contemptuous a federal agency's rejection of his request for equal television and radio time to answer statements by President Johnson. McCarthy, a Minnesota Democrat who sgys he'll challenge Johnson in several 1968 primaiy elections, wrote to Chairman Rosel H. Hyde of the Federal Communications Commission: "I ask you for an explanation of this contemptuous handling of a serious manner that is now before the commission of which you arc chairman." McCarthy said the only notice he received of the FCC's deci sion came in reprints oi the ageny's public notices on its policies of political broadasts and equal time, mailed by the FCC to Blair Clark, the senator's campaign manager.

The request for the FCC to order the three major networks to provide equal time came last week after Johnson appeared in an hour-long interview program in prime time. In the course of the interview, Johnson suggested McCarthy and Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, were working together to gain the nomination a charge both senators have persistently denied. Gregory Threatens Dems In other political developments: Dick Gregory said he hopes to organize demonstrations massive enough to block the 1968 Democratic National Convention scheduled for Chicago the week of Aug.

25. Gregory told newsmen in Chiago the Democratic party insulted Negroes by choosing the city as a convention site be- ause Chicago "has not cleaned up its racial problems. They just use police force." New York Times reported that former President Dwight D. Eisenhower has eliminated George Romney as a serious contender for the GOP presidential nomination on grounds the Michigan governor 'has been on so many sides of so many questions that one begins to wonder just where he does stand." The former Republican chief executive's feelings about Rom ney, an announced candidate for the nomination, were made to his golfing companions in Southern California, where he spends the whiter, the Times said. In Saigon, where he was winding up an inspection visit to South Vietnam, Romney was asked by newsmen about the re mark attributed to Eisenhower.

"I'd prefer to rely on what Gen. Eisenhower wrote me before I left," he said. "In es sence, he was pleased that I had announced as a candidate and he was also pleased that the Republicans would have an opportunity to choose" from among several candidates.

Each of the three sponsors share equally in the oash awards. The judges praised all entrants and declared they had a most difficult time in selecting the winners. "We feel," they said, "that much planning and work went into the displays and we wish to compliment all those responsible. Many of the displays depicted the true meaning of the Christmas season." A Chamber representative, not a judge, toured the county and said that the lighting contest entrants and non-contestants made it possible for Jefferson county lesidents to be proud of efforts put forth in beautifying their homes, exterior and interior.

LBJ SEEKS CAMBODIA SOLUTION Expect Greek King To Return By New Year's ATHENS (AP) Reliable sources said today King Constantine may return to Greece before New Year's Day and will be greeted by Premier George Papadopoulos, the man he attempted to oust from power. Papadopoulos, accompanied by Deputy Premier Stylianos Patakos, flew off for northern Greece for a tour of the provinces. The grand marshal of the royal court, Leonldas Papagos, who fled to Rome with the King after the abortive Dec. 13 coup returned from Rome Tuesday, reportedly to prepare for the king 's return. He said he oame back to attend to some personal problems.

Reliable sources said the royal family probably would land at a military air base near Athens to avoid curious crowds. Some sources speculated that the royal plane would land at Tatoi airbase, near the Greek royal family's permanent suburban residence from where the king started out early on Deo. 13 to begin his abortive coup. ROMNEY SAYS REDS WINNING OTHER WAR (Continued from Page One) (Continued from Page One) were iking refuge in Cambodia when hard-pressed in South Vietnam and sometimes attacking U.S. and South Vietnamese troops by operations from across the Vietnamese-Cambodian border.

On Dec. 4, the State Department reported Tuesday, the United States sent a note to the Cambodian government "as part of a sincere to provide the Cambodian government with infc 'ion which would enable It to move toward a solution of a problem we believe should be of concern to the Cambodian government as well as the United States govern ment." The note proposed strengthen ing of an international control commission for Cambodia to enable it to prevent use of Cambodian territory by the Commu nicts as far as possible. It also stated, according to a State Department spokesman, the United States respects "the neutrality, sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of Cambodia" and "has no hostile intentions ard Cambodia or Cambodian territory The proposal was rejected in a note received here DEEP MINES World's deepest mines are said to be near Johannesburg, South Africa.

Notes were exchanged through Australia since the United States and Cambodia do not have diplomatic relations. "The royal Cambodian gov- nment considers as an attempt against Cambodian sovereignty," the note said, "the groundless accusations and the suggestions to cooperation made to solve the alleged problem of violation of Cambodian neutrality by the forces of the DRV (North Vietnam) and NFLSV (the National Liberation Front, political arm of the Viet Cong)." The Cambodian note charged that the United States and its allies in South Vietnam are already conducting some limited military operations against Cambodia, which it denounced as "flagrant violations of international law." The note specified "daily incursions into Khmer (Cambodian) air space, attacks and terrorist bombings on the Cambodian civilian population in the frontier zones, and infiltrations by commandos for the purposes of sabotage and assassination." Officials say the only policy now existing that would permit U.S. operations involving Cambodian territory is that giving military commanders freedom U.S. forces are fired on from across the return him on his previous visit. "That's past," he said.

"I'm here to discuss the present and the future." He added that he hoped the U.S. public is not going to hold the statement against him. "I leave here with a basic grasp of the situation," Romney declared. "By our measurements of our military winning the military actions," he said. "There are actions outside the military field, and there the enemy are winning some substantial victories.

"We have no way of measuring the military victories from the standpoint of the enemy's objectives. I personally am not impressed with the body count methods of measuring success. "It's such a big and complex situation and so few people understand it." Romney said he felt that "generally" he was treated with candor by U.S. military and diplomatic officials and by representatives of the South Vietnamese government, including President Nguyen Van Thieu and Premier Nguyen Van Loc. He was asked about a report Robert L.

Pisor, the correspondent in South Vietnam of the Detroit News, that U.S. Marines stationed just outside Da Nang had been briefed on what to say to Romney the night before the governor visited them Pisor reported that an enlisted man told him after Romney's visit: "We were talked to ahead ot time. We were told what to say." Romney said he did not know that the Marines had been briefed before his arrival but added: "What we discussed there was not a particularly important aspect of the situation," Romney also was asked about a report in The New York Times that former President Eisenhower has eliminated the Michigan governor as a serious contender for the Republican presidential nomination. "I'd prefer to rely on what Gen. Eisenhower wrote me before I left," he replied.

"In essence, he was pleased that I had announced as a candidate and he was also pleased that the Re publicans would have an opportunity to choose."

No Casey Fork Damage There was no damage from the flash flood at the other sub-impoundment Casey Fork creek west of Bonnie. Water flowed a half-foot over the top of the Casey Fork dam. Matheney said that the ab- tiormal flooding caused no damage to property in the Rend Lake area. There is no necessity for immediate repairs to the dam wash-outs, as the main dam of Rend Lake is not yet under contract because of a federal "freeze" of funds. Repairs in the spring will be soon enough for the state of Illinois to begin a waterfowl management program in the upper reaches of the lake, above the two sub-impoundments.
