ATM CM 1Ub 73rd Year, United Press International RED STREAK F1HAL Greenville, Mississippi Russians Split With Albania Move May Worsen Soviet-China Rift By HENRY SHAPIRO MOSCOW (UPI)-Albanian embassy officials packed for home today in the.wake of.the Soviet- Albanian diplomatic break. Officials behind the'iron gates of the embassy confirmed Tirana's announcement of the severance of relations. But they told Western reporters: "For: further information, we suggest you ask the Soviet Foreign Ministry." A ministery spokesman said the Union would.issue a com, munique on the subject but declined say when. Western reporters waiting outside the embas-. sy today watched Albanians, talking busily, enter and leave the building, some carrying suitcases.

An Albanian student, of some.nearly two dozen who will return home because of the break, said they probably would fly out this week. Embassy officials said departure plans had not yet been settled. THE break, announced Sunday by official Albanian telegraph agency In Tirana, the Albanian capital, was likely to cause a deterioration in Communist China's relations with Russia and the entire Communist bloc, informed sources said. They said, however, the break had been in the offing as a result of the Communist congress in October. At the conference, Soviet Premier Nikita S.

Khrushchev denounced Albanian leaders for their Stalinist ways and called for the resignation of Eriver Hoxha, chief of the Communist party in Albania. THE sources said the reported rupture--unprecedented in Russia's relations with Communist countries--is likely to bring an economic boycott of the tiny Adriatic nation by every member of the Communist bloc except Red China. The closest to a break between two Communist countries previously occurred in IMS, when Reds led by the. late Premier Josef Slalin vilified Yugoslav Marshal Tito as a "fascist gangster" and kicked him out of the Cominform. But the ideological dispute never went so far as a severance of diplomatic relations According to the -sources here, the split between Moscow and Tirana will have a profound effect on relations between the Chinese and other Communist blor nations outside the U.S.S.R.

SUNDAY the official Communist parly newspaper Pravda featured a speech by Romanian Communist a Gheorghiu-Dej in which he endorsed the Soviet stand against Albania and criticized Red China for siding with Hoxha. The Russians have been irked by what they consider Albania's slavish adherence to principles of Stalinism, something they say is being eradicated from the Soviet Union. Monday, December 11, 1961.

The Katanga government today confirmed that three U. N. jets battered Camp Elisa- bethville's main Katanga army post, a pair of low-flying swoops Sunday. Reinforcements flown in during- the past week are believed to have brought the U. N.

forces up to about 3,600 men in the Elizabethville area--several hundred more than the Katangese can muster. THE Katangese have been rein forced by about 400 white mercenaries. Army authorities, apprehensive at growing lack of discipline, issued orders for soldiers to slay out of bars. Thoy said any found drunk would be arrested. The government also said U.

N. jets had attacked Kolwezi, about 150 miles west of here, hitting the center of tlie (own, African homes and installations owned by the huge Union Miniere mining firm.

Ball Sees Soviet-Albania Break As Sign Of Trouble Red Bloc WASHINGTON (UPI) Acting Secretary of State George W. Ball has described the Soviet-Albanian break as "evidence of a very considerable amount of discontent and disagreement within the Communist Hoc." Ball said the split, coupled with Russia's previous cut-off of trade and aid to Albania, should "stand as a kind of warning to neutral governments all over the world that they cannot rely on the long- range good faith of the Soviet Union." He said in a television interview Sunday night the rupture indicates what happens fo a country tied to Ihe Soviet Union "which shows any signs of deviationism." OTHER U.

S. officials said the break underlined the dispute between Russia and Communist China, which has staunchly ported Albania in its criticism of Soviet Premier Nikita Khr.ish- chev's-policy of "pcacful coexis- tence."

Court WASHINGTON (UPI) In its first ruling on a "sit-in" case, Ihe Supreme Court today overturned the convictions of 16 Negro students wlio demonstrated against lunch counter segregation at Baton Rouge, in 1960. The court in its unanimous 9-0 decision carefully limited the scope of its action.

It reversed Ihe convictions on grounds of lack of evidence and did not go into any broader constitutional issues. The students, who attended Southern University, had been convicted of disturbing the peace, under Louisiana state law which makes it a crime to "unreasonably disturb or alarm the public," They had been sentenced to 30 days in jail and fined $100. THEIR appeals were the first to be heard by the high court in connection with the widespread lunch counter anti segregation "sit-ins" staged throughout the South in recent years. The Baton Rouge "sit-ins" occurred at Kress's variety store, Sitman's drug store and the Greyhound bus terminal. Chief Justice Earl Warren delivered the opinion of the court in the 9-0 ruling.

"The undisputed evidence shows that the police who arrested the (students) were left with nothing to support their actions except their own opinions that it was 'a breach of the peace for (them) to sit peacefully in a place where custom decreed they should not sit," the opinion said. "Such activity, in the circumstances of these cases, is not evidence of any crime and cannot be so considered either by the police or the courts." Warren again stated the court's policy of not reaching constitutional issues broader than required by the facts on the record. He confined his opinion to the lack of evidence issue.

Hoffa headed She giant truck union. This was the effect of a resolution adopted with no audible dissent from 900 delegates at the AFL-CIO convention following a debate over whether Hoffa ran a clean union. The policy statement directed the federation's executive council to consider any teamsters' reaf- filiation bid in light of the AFL- State Officials DisputeShelters JACKSON (UPl)-A difference of opinion has developed between two Mississippi officials over the use of fallout shelters.

Civil Defense Director Robert L. Crook issued a statement Saturday taking issue with Dr. Andrew Sultle, director of the Mississippi a Commission over a speech Suttle made last week. CROOK said the primary purpose of the national and state civil defense programs is to develop an adequate shelter system throughout Ihe nation. "It would be foolhardy for us to depart from the considered judgment of federal agencies who have made detailed studies of the fallout threat," he said.

Sultle had said there is too much emphasis put on fallout shelters in Mississippi. Crook said, "Those in our government who substitute their own judgment in the place ol unimpeachable national national authorities on the subject of radiological defense musr necessarily accept the awesome responsibility for the consequences of their acts." MCANY himself said he would favor re-entry of Ihe nation's largest union, expelled in 1957 for alleged domination by corrupt influences, if Ihe examination found that such control had been removed. The resolution's approval was regarded as a defeat for a group of union leaders who advocated immediate aclion to take back the teamslcrs. Joe Curran, president of the National Maritime Union and a Hoffa ally, said insistence on removal of Hoffa before realisation was allowing personalities to interfere with labor unity. Michael Quill, president of the Transport Workers Union, accused AFL-CIO leaders of faking a public stand against Hoffa and then making secret deals with him to protect their picket lines.

"Let me say there ir. no personality involved here at all," Meany replied. "I scarcely know this man." Paul Hall. Seafarers Union president, attacked Hoffa's defenders and declared: "lloffa is a fink (strike breaker) at heart--he always was and alwys will be." The resolution was adopted twice, Mcany put it to a vote a second time after the convention approved it wilhoii discussion on first presentation.

The verdict came with stunning swiftness at the opening of today's session nearly four months alter the jurists had retired to consider the mass of trial evidence.

It made him liable lo become the first man to be executed by the state of Israel. Eichmann, standing stiffly at attention in his glass bullet-proof box, heard the verdict without a show of emotion, as if he had expected lo be branded in this way as history's monstrous mass murderer. HE had depicted himself aj only a tool of Ihe Nazi machine with no choice but to obey orders. He appeared slightly heavier than he had during his four-month trial. There was nothing to show he had suffered a number of slight heart attacks recently as reported by his attorney, Robert Servatius.

Eichmann was dressed in a dark blue suit with a striped tie. The faria.1 tics which becama particularly noticeable toward the end of the trial were almost gone. He rarely pursed hts lips as ho had during Ihe (rial. Presiding Judge Moshe Landau and his. two fellow jurists, Yitzhak Raven and Benjamin Halevi, immediately began reading their long list of reasons justifying the competence of the court to judga and convict Eichmann.

Sentencing may come Thursday or Friday. He is liable to tha death penalty for 12 of the 15 counts unless Ihe court finds "extenuating circumstances." in which case the penalty would be 10 years each. APPEALS to the Israeli Supreme Court are expected to be cleared up within four months. F-ichmann was brought to Jerusalem secretly last Friday from the heavily guarded prison in northern Israel where he has spent the past four months and was brought into the courtroom a few minutes before 5 a.m. (2 a.m.'EST) today.

Halevi said Israel's right to try Nazis for crimes against the Jewish people even though laws forbidding the crimes were retroactive--were based both on Israeli and international law and on United Nations resolutions. Israeli law, he said, does not conflict with the principles of international law. "On the contrary:" he law in question conforms to the best traditions of the law ol nations." He said Israel's right to try Eichmann was based "on a dual foundation--the universal character of the crimes in question and their specific character as being designed to exterminate the Jewish people." India's Patience Toward Goa Enclave 'Exhausted' -Nehru NEW DELHI (UPI) Prime Minister Jawahartal Nehru warned parliament today that India's patience toward the Portuguese enclave of Goa was "exhausted." In a foreign affairs debate, Nehru described Portugal as a colonial power and predicted it would not be able to maintain its hold on Ihe mile possession. Goa is on India's western coast. Reports reaching Bombay from Belgaum said 10 to 15 Portuguese soldiers penetrated a mile into Indian territory and machinesunned the border village of Talwadi Sunday.

Belgaum is one of the larger border towns, about 50 miles from Talwadi THERE was no immediate word of casualties but the reports said white soldiers fired 350 rounds ol ammunition and then withdrew when Indian reserve police forces rushed to the scene. Officials in Belgaum called the alleged incident "naked aggression on Indian territory." Portuguese officials in Pangim, the capital of Goa, said unidentified elements had infiltrated the enclave and started shooting toward the Indian border.
