Khrush Vows Red Help on Germany MOSCOW (AP) Ni- Khrushchev once more lashed kita Khrushchev said today the Soviet Union will do "everything for the solution of the question of a German peace treaty on a basis acceptable to the Western powers." But at a Moscow homecoming rally reporting on his visit to France, Khrushchev once more insisted on signing separate treaties with East and West Germany, a proposal repeatedly rejected by the West.

Khrushchev said the German question had bulked large in his talks- with President Charles de Gaulle and he expressed belief those talks had clarified the Soviet position for- the French. The Soviet Premier returned Sunday from an 11-day visit to France. WEATHER EAST TEXAS Partly cloudy through Thursday with mild days and cool nights.

Turning to the question of disarmament, the Premier told obout 17,000 persons at a French-Soviet friendship rally in the Sports-Palace: "As for disarmament, which is the most important question facing the world today, I would say that our (Khrushchev-De Gaulle) opinions coincide." A final communique in Paris Saturday said both leaders agreed on the need for disarmament. De Gaulle said nothing about Khrushchev's plan for total disarmament within four years, which the French delegation at Geneva has called unrealistic. Khrushchev conceded there are differences in the positions of France and the Soviet Union on major issues.

"No doubt they resulted in a better understanding," he said of the talks. "Ori the most important questions we were obviously not always in agreement, but -on the most important we came closely together."

Hall today ordered the Harrison County grand jury to probe for possible outside influences in last week's turbulent sit- down protests against lunch counter segregation. Judge Hall told the jury, "If you can carve out any indictment against outsiders, you would be doing a service to the county and to local Negroes." Negro college students demonstrated here for eight days, beginning Saturday a week ago, against segregated lunch counters in downtown stores. Authorities arrested 71 of them on various charges, including unlawful assembly, illegal picketing and failure to leave stores when asked to do so.

Judge Hall termed the demonstrations "uncalled for oc- IN 8TH WEEK Senate Action WASHINGTON Iff) Party leaders hoped today to bring to an early end the long Senate battle over civil rights legislation, now going into its eighth week. Numerous amendments, proposed by senators in opposing sides, remain to be disposed of, but a leadership push was on to speed action so the Senate can turn to other measures. One major roadblock was cleared' Friday of a compromise for a disputed amendment recomniended by the Senate Judiciary Committee. It eliminated a proposed requirement for public hearings by court- appointed voting referees named to protect Negro voting rights. All of the other committee amendments had previously been written into the House-passed bill with little controversy.

Majority Leader Lyndon, Johnson (D-Tex) indicated he thought action on the bill might have been completed Saturday if the Senate had not recessed for the weekend. Johnson counseled the Senate to take the bill as it now stands. He said that if it were loaded down with amendments unacceptable to Broken Levee Hikes Flooding By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Workers striving to hold back the levee-bursting Mississippi River called for help today along the Illinois and Missouri shores.

The Mississippi reached the top of the levee protecting 20,000 acres there and only the sandbag topping held back the icy waters The Gregory Landing volunteers included some Quincy College students and numbered 250 in all. "They're hollering for help there," said Sheriff C. F.

Milligan of Clark County, Mo. More than 300 Missouri convicts were sent into the flood battle along the Missouri River. Most of them were assigned to sandbagging details near Cedar City.

Rights Pushed the House, "we shall not have a law on the statute books!" Senate Republican Leader Everett M. Dirksen' of Illinois said that if the bill, as revised by the committee amendments, could be passed by the Senate and the House, "we shall have, made progress." "Then we can continue with the other matters that are piling up for the attention of the Senate," he currences" and that they "not a child of the local citizens." "We have had (racial) peace and tranquility for the past 75 years here," the judge said.

He called the situation unfortunate and said it was hot brought about by local Negroes, "But was brought about by outsiders who do not have the best interests of the county or the local Negroes at heart." Hall said Negroes are "misinformed" about their rights, to eat at' all white lunch counters. "This is not a right but a privilege," the judge told the grand jury. "Likewise, all-Negro lunch counters are not for whites. If the operators permitted it, it would be a privilege, but there is. no legal status to demand service riot offered." Referring to previous Supreme Court decisions on racial matters, the judge added that "the nine men on the U.S.

Supreme Court can, with one stroke of the pen, undo all the good you do in there. "I do not question their having (he power to do it, butyl seriously question their, having the right to do it." Judge Hall praised law enforcement officers for what he termed "the masterful way" in which they dealt with' the demonstrations. He said they took an "impartial yet firm stand." Meanwhile, this East Texas city returned to its normal calm. No evidence has become known that any persons other than students have participated in the'sit- in demonstrations, climaxed last Wednesday when 700 were driven See PROBE, Page 2, Col. 4 NEGROES CLUBBED IN S-AFRIGA TODAY CAPE TOWN, South Africa and police clubbed hundreds of Negroes in the Cape Town area today who failed to join a native back-to-work mover ment.

Police also staged house- to-house raids and shooting was heard in one township. An Africa- telephoned from Nyanga Ea" native settlement, a center of racial unrest, saying two were' killed and three wounded. Later reports from another Negro there said police opened fire and four Africans were wounded. It appeared Africans were as sembled atop a small hill in Ny- anga, defying police armored cars. This was where the firing was reported.

Across the country, Durban, one Negro was killed when police charged scattered demonstrators at Claremont native township. Unrest also continued in other places over' wide areas of the troubled country. The tough police moves apparently were aimed at breaking up the Negro work boycott in Cape Town once and for all. The Negro stay-at-home campaign had hit this big port city hardest of all South Africa's major population centers. The campaign was started two weeks ago to back up a drive against the passes all nonwhites must carry.

Authorities waited this morning to see if the Negroes would return 'to work today. When they realized that most of them had, they moved in on the holdouts still at home. The raids followed what appeared to be Cape Town's quietest day since the current racial trouble began. The Chamber of Commerce had reported about 60 per cent of the Negroes back at work and said the "labor situation seemed.to be coming back to normal." Trains and buses bringing nonwhite workers in to the city were full again. The African "stay-at-home" campaign has been costly.

The Chamber of Commerce estimated the business loss in Cape Town alone at 2 million Negro townships were still restless, like a hissing bomb that could explode at any moment. Troop reinforcements were flown to Durban Sunday to keep an eye on Cato Manor.
