The first of such organizations shaped up Monday night.

Haley and Rowland worked late with 50 lay persons, priests and nuns who attended Monday night's workshop at Sacred Heart Church, Roslindale.

Mrs.

"The School Dept. doesn't I recognize that any serious pro Diem exists cox our Harvard Law School Dean Erwin Griswold, a member of the commission, asked Mrs. Batson whether she thought it was time the city matched the effort of the Federal government in both funds and efforts to resolve the situation. She replied, "realistically, I don't think you ask the children to suffer while you try to change someone's thinking." Ohrenberger was the first of some 13 witnesses slated to present testimony today, including Boston School Committee Chairman Thomas Ei-senstadt.

The commission is headed by John A. Hannah, president of Michigan State University. Ohrenberger in his remarks told the commission that there is, at this moment, "no proof that ability to learn can be based solely on color." He said that a recent Federal study, on the equality of educational opportunities, "dem onstrates that the attitudes and jaspirations which a child brings a 5cnuo1 nave a more Pr found affect on his achievement than the educational pro onerea ny the scnooi. ences are socially desirable Tnf Bostn Publl Schools have long beer, aware of and are contributing to the a 1 1 i. tjiiciu ui una guai "The School system is also i ii -ii II Amarii'inr tin I I Iiita 1 tniA an iiiiitni.ano in live ill uc harmony and understanding." Orhenberger said that the witholding of $16 million in state aid to the Boston Schools "has seriously hampered the operation of present educa tional programs and prevents the introduction of new ones." In a surprise move, the school superintendent presented to the commission a 75 page document entitled, "The Boston Blueprint for Equal Educational Opportunity." He told the commission that it contained a carefully drawn FEARS QUESTIONS BEECH By KEYES BANGKOK, Thailand (CDN) A secret fear haunts some of our Asian allies as the time approaches for the seven-nation Manila conference on the Viet Nam war.

Ambassador Arthur J. Goldberg, Moyers said he would stand on his initial statement which said: "No bombing is taking place in the eastern sector of the demilitarized zone in an effort to permit an I.C.C. investigation of alleged Asked about the report at a news conference in Ottawa, Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson said: "I am glad this step has been taken." He said Canada had been working for true demilitarization of the buffer zone. Moyers was asked it American war planes ever had conducted bombing operations in this sector.

He said that was a question to put to the Pentagon but that it was his understanding raids had been carried out there in the past. Pressed for a statement on a possible tie-in between the bombing letup and the quest for peace, Moyers said: "We are always willing to have an indication from the other side it is interested in the subject of peace." Asked if there had been such indications he replied, "not to my knowledge." Moyers would not say whether the halt in bombings represented a presidential decision though it seemed ob vious that was the case. Canada, as one of three nations in the International Control Commission, has a close connection with Viet Nam. Foreign Secretary Paul Martin said last week that the commission might be able to play a helpful role by creating conditions under which the United States and North Viet Nam could disengage forces at the demilitarized zone. The Canadian Cana da's nationwide news agency, firmed.

But Officials here were extremely reluctant to talk about the situation for fear that any discussion could extinguish the tiny spark of hope. "But it is understood that the letun has nermitted the International Truce Supervis ory Commission in Viet Nam to resume some limited patrols in the 35-mile-long, 6-mile-wide buffer zone between North and South Vict Nam.

COFFEY sion now and the minority Labor Party is severely questioning the Australian role in Viet Nam. One element of the party is calling for withdrawal of Aussie draftees from the war here.

Going to Manila with Par liament in session would be most inopportune for Australian Prime Minister Harold Holt, Australian sources here suggested. Furthermore there have been reports that Mr. John-, son might extend his trip to include visits to Australia, New Zealand and South Korea. His going to Australia at this time could be touchy, an Australian source said. "It would look like he was going there to give his blessing to the government in power," the source said.

The New Zealand parliament also is currently involved in an important session and that Government also favored a postponement, according to sources here. On the other hand, the postponement made the new schedule pretty tight for South Vietnamese government leaders. Nov. 1 is Viet Nam's greatest national holiday, the anniversary oi the 1963 overthrow of the Diem Government and a time when Premier Nguyen Cao Ky and his fellow generals must be on hand for the local celebrations. No one here takes seriously the official Washington line that the Manila conference was all an idea of Philippines President Ferdinand MarcOs.

It is felt that Mr. Johnson inspired the meeting during Marcos' recent visit to the United States. It is also felt that with all the concentration on what. effect the Manila meeting might have on the U.S. elections, no one bothered, beforehand, to consider what the complications might be for other invited nations.

In addition to the United States, Philippines. Australia. New Zealand and South Vict Nam, Thailand and South Korea are also to take part in the conference. From the outset, when Marcos announced the conference even before he got home from his trip to Washington, arrangements for the meeting have been handled with a remarkable lack of finesse. For days Philippines officials weren't sure whether the meeting would be held in Manila or in the resort city of Baguio.

It will be Manila. Marcos now says. That and the rescheduled date seem to be about the only things anyone is sure of. If he needs us to help him, we will, of course." The appeals opinion said recent decisions by the U.S. Supreme Court in the cases of Billie Sol Estes and Dr.

Samuel Sheppard as well as the record in the Ruby trial make it "abundantly clear" that the trial court "revers-ibly erred in refusing (Ruby's) motion for a change in venue" (to a trial site other than Dallas.) Estes' state conviction for fraud was reversed and a new trial ordered. He is in prison on a 15-year Federal conviction for the same sort of fraud selling fertilizer tank mortgages when the tanks did not exist. In the Sheppard case, the U.S. Supreme Court reversed the Cleveland physician's murder conviction on grounds that extensive newspaper coverage had created such climate of opinion that he was denied a fair trial. The high court reversal of the Estes case concerned television coverage.

"For the errors pointed out, the judgment is reversed, and the cause is remanded with directions that venue (the trial site) he changed to some county other than Dallas," the court's order said. Compared to the voluminous record and appeal briefs in the case, Morrison's opinion for the court was dramatically short three pages. BYRNE Continued from Page 1 "Where does it end? Where does the public come into this? What about the man on the street who is just trying to support his family and is threatened by these hoodlums?" Byrne asked. Charged along with Baron for violations of the firearms law, having a knife and conspiracy are Nicholas V. Femia, 26, of Brooks East Boston, Patrick Fabiano, 23, of Morris East Boston, and Arthur Bratsos, 32, of Donner Medford.

Tauro, in making his decision, said, in the light of what Dist. Atty. Byrne said and with all due respect to the district attorney, "I am not convinced this court can hold anyone without bail. The constitution guarantees that bail should not be excessive." The judge then set bail at $100,000 double surety for Baron and Femia. He established low bails of $1000 for Bratsos and Fabiano.

Byrne admitted that his remarks were not directed toward the latter two. Tauro stated that he took serious notice of what Byrne had put forth but said, "whether or not the law should be changed is not for me to say." Baron and Femia did not make bail and were taken to Charles-St. Jail. Defense counsel said an appeal would be made to the State Supreme Court for a reduction in bail. The other two defendants posted bond.

Baron was bailed in S25.000 double surety on il- lppal rim chavpnc in Aiienct murder of Arthur Pearson, 23 of Dorchester in September. Pearson was jailed for a year by Judge Tauro when he refused to answer questions before the Grand Jury Asst. Dist. Atty. Jack I.

Zal-kind contended that Pearson was threatened with death if he talked against Baron. The constitution was written by men concerned with tyrnanny of government." Byrne told the court.

Yet they exist among at least three of the governments that will be represented at Manila Australia, Thailand and Saigon. The Saigon government is, of course, most vitally con- cerned.

But the Australians, i i a ii nn i wno Mve moie indii troops South Viet Nam and Deneve me war is Deing won, are also worried. Thai fears are discreetly expressed. Thailand has no combat troops in South Viet Nam. But there are about 30,000 American fighting men, mostly airmen, operating from Thai bases. This is something the Thai Government, for both domestic and diplomatic reasons, has refused to acknowledge, much to the irritation of the Americans.

Thus far Hanoi was obliged by flatly rejecting every American peace overture. It already has contemptuously dismissed the Manila conference, scheduled to be held Oct. 24-25 as a "war conference." But what Allied diplomats fnar ic a surlrirn switrh in Hanoi's tactics. A friendly Asian diplomat put it this way: I By RAYMOND SAIGON (CDN) President Johnson's forthcoming trip to Manila is beginning to look from here as though it were even more fumblingly arranged than last February's hasty and disorganized Honolulu conference. The Manila meeting on Viet Nam, postponed for 10 days and now tentatively rescheduled for Oct.

24-25, has been much discussed as an opportunity for Mr. Johnson to brighten Democratic prospects in the U.S. elections Nov. 8. There is even considerable talk among U.S.

officials here that the President might stop off briefly in Viet Nam after the Manila meeting. "We haven't heard anything official but I can't see him passing up the chance to get his picture taken with the troops with the elections so close and Manila only two hours away," one U.S. official is quoted as saying. "I wouldn't be surprised to see him bang into Da Nang or Cam Ranh Bay (both big U.S. bases on the Viet Nam coast) for a couple of hours," the official added.

don't think he'll come to Saigon," the official said, explaining that security and political considerations would be involved. However, for all the good the trip to Manila (and Viet Nam) might do Mr. Johnson and the Democrats politically, the timing of the Manila conference is creating some awkward political complications for some of the Allied nations invited, most notably Australia. These political complications were, according to responsible sources here, largely responsible for the original postponement of the Manila meeting. Australia also has parliamentary elections in November.

And the Aussies' role in Viet Nam is a matter of even fiercer national debate than it is in the United States.
