The Soviets and thg British were reported seeking a recess starting Aug. 15. How long the recess might be was not disclosed.

NOT THE SAME Savin said that to "assume the communist party desired to use the student protest for its own ends is one. matter, but to assume that the desires of the communist party were in fact translated into achievement is another." The student chairman charged that "any statement to the effect that the leadership of the Students for Civil Liberties was infiltrated, inspired, paid for and directed by the communist party is nothing more than hogwash."
