Reds Call Anew For Top Talks MOSCOW, Dec. 4 -The viet Union and Czechoslovakia repeated calls today for a world Communist conference which Red China refuses to attend.

Symptomatic of persistence of the old Peking-Moscow split was a report that the Chinese not only rejected recent Soviet proposal for a preparatory meeting in March, but rubbed in the rejection by refusing to accept a letter of invitation. Another appeal for the controversial conclave came in a joint communique issued after Czech President Antonin Novotny ended four days of talks with Soviet leaders and returned to Prague.

KNOWS CINDERELLA HER FOR MICE FRIENDS ARE UP TO 12-0 JOURNAL 5, 1964 Sheriff Weaver said only, two counts of burglary would be against each individual, although they had admitted the others to him and County Detectives John Maples and W. 0.1 Patterson. Charged were Bill "Benson, 38, and his wife, Betty, 38, both of Room 17, Manor Apartments; and Davis Van Zant, 20, of 810 Deery Street. All were held in county jail when they failed to post $3000 bail on each count. General Sessions Judge Glenn C.

Johnson bound the three to the grand jury after they waived preliminary hearing. Sheriff Weaver said the three were first arrested by Anderson County officers in connection with several burglaries in that county, He said he went to the Anderson County Jail to question the three and got Benson to admit his part in the cases. The others then confessed their part, Weaver said. The sheriff said the three told him they sometimes made as much as $175 to $200 a night "merely by ripping pay telephones off the walls of establishments, carrying them away. and tearing them open." he said Benson told him a lot of pay telephones had as much as $40 and $50 in them.

The sheriff said the three also told him they broke into vending machines, juke boxes and pinball machines in establishments mostly outside the city in Knox County. The three have also been charged with a number of burglaries and thefts in Sevier, Anderson and Jefferson counties, Detective Patterson said. Detective Maples said, "This group usually stole nothing except change from these various types of machines. This is a difficult type case to do anything with because there is no merchandise to be found that can be tied to the crime." Sheriff Weaver said several other persons were being sought in connection with the cases. Conviction 'Overturned NEW ORLEANS, Dec.

Preston Cobb who has spent the last three years in death row at the Georgia penitentiary, the news on his 19th birthday. A Jasper County convicted him Aug. 16, 1961, in the fatal shooting of Frank Coleman Dumas. Cobb said at the trial he shot Dumas, 70, after they argued over a fish the boy caught in a farm pond.

Cobb later denied the killing and said he knew who did it. In setting aside the conviction, the appeals court held Cobb's constitutional rights were violated through systematic exclusion of Negroes from the Grand Jury that indicted him and the trial jury that convicted him. Federal Gaming Purchases Show Increase NASHVILLE, Dec. 4 (P) Purchases of federal gaming stamps have increased substantially in Tennessee during this fiscal year, a spokesman for the Internal Revenue Service said today. Gerald M.

Figures compiled by the IRS intelligence division, Wallwork said, have identified ten counties in the state as possible areas where inspections will be conducted soon. These counties were listed as Davidson, Carroll, Hardin, Henderson, Knox, Lawrence, Madison, Montgomery, Weakley and Wilson. The agent said about 50 of the $250 gambling stamps had been bought since the nationally coordinated raids last month in Tennessee.

Frank Clement Tennesseans yesterday to let their representatives in the General Assembly know whether they want the present tax structure continued or cut back. Speaking at the dedication of West Expressway, he dwelt mostly the question of keeping taxes at the present level to finance a bigger state program or reducing them.

While he did not so specify, he appeared to be referring to the extension of the sales tax to utility and other services that was adopted by the last legislature at his behest. Alluding to "the so-called, surplus of money" that has resulted, Governor Clement remarked, "Already there are requests on my desk many times the amount of money available, and you can make out a legitimate case of need for almost every request." Repeating his opposition to any further tax increase, he also expressed a determination to keep the budget balanced. His words were: "We ought to operate within a balanced budget, and that is the way we are going to do it. If the people want us to cut taxes, we must cut the program, too. "If you want the type of program we have now, then we had better hold on to what we've got--the present tax structure." Whatever the will of the people, the governor promised "to do the best job that can be done with the number of dollars available.

I promise you in the next biennium the best two years of government we have ever had in the history of this state." After the dedication ceremony, held on the expressway near the Seventeenth Street interchange, Governor Clement the traditional ribbon to open the facility. The exercises, cut including introductions and speaking, took less than an hour. Dr. Andrew Holt, president of the University of Tennessee, was master of ceremonies. Dr.

Holt jokingly said he had learned the expressway opening will save minutes on trips to Nashville and he would use those 10 minutes to beat other educators to the capital $50,000 Lawsuit Filed Against Westinghouse The Westinghouse Electric Corp. has been sued for $50,000 in Federal Court by a Knoxville woman who claims to have suffered serious burns from an electric oven.

A spokesman for a foreigncar manufacturer retorted that the researchers' findings were a "statistical But the researchers, from Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory, insisted that data gleaned from their two-year study proved, for example, that fatal injuries were about 50 percent higher among small-car occupants than among large-car oc- cupants. BASED ON RECORDS The study, conducted by the laboratory's automobile crash injury research project, was based on comparable accidents involving 12,835 cars, manufactured in 1956 or later, in which at least one person was injured or killed. The nearly 13,000 vehicles included 771 small cars weighing less than 2000 pounds, 1085 foreign or US-made compact cars weighing between 2000 and 3000 pounds and 979 cars, largely US standardsized cars, weighing over 3000 pounds.

AF Bares Pictures Of New Plane WASHINGTON, Dec. 4 (R- The Air Force released today pictures of the SR71 strategic reconnaissance aircraft which is described as being capable of worldwide reconnaissance missions at speeds in excess of 2000 miles an hour.

Existence of the SR71 was disclosed by President Johnson at a news conference last July 23 when he called the plane "a major new strategic military aircraft system." The needle-nosed craft is similar in appearance to the YF12A interceptor announced earlier in the year and will use the same engines as the YF12A. However, the Air Force describes the strategic reconnaissance version as considerably heavier and much longer in range than the interceptor. The SR71 is built by Lockheed Aircraft Corp. and the engines were designed by Pratt Whitney. The reconnaissance plane will be assigned to SAC's Beale Air Force Base, with the first expected to be operational next year.

Estimated cost for development and building the SR71 system is placed at $1,000,000,000.
