BARDOT NEW YORK: (AP) James Farmer of New York, national director of the Congress of Racial Equality, says "Freedom Rides" will be stopped only when Southern terminals are actually regated. Farmer charged Sunday that Mississippi "unwittingly recharged the batteries" of the Freedom Ride by ordering all persons arrested in previous rides to appear in person for the setting of trial dates for peals. He also said CORE is optimistic that the Interstate Commerce Commission will order "no discrimination" signs in interstate vehicles and depots. But to be effective, the ICC must provide "adequate sanctions" against efforts to segregate southern waiting rooms, he said. "We will watch and see," Farmer said.

"We will test the sanctions. If the test shows they are not effective, the Freedom Rides will continue." Chiggers will attach to a person and stay there for three or ABILENE, Tex. (Spl.) Anita Hartsell Ritchie, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A.
