troop withdrawal from Viet Nam. Diplomats said, however, this, did not mean a change in the Communist position calling for such a withdrawal as a prelude to possible peace talks. Informed sources meanwhile reported Saturday that Russia and its east European partners would hold summit talks in Moscow this week on the problem of Communist China, then, watch a new Soviet space spectacular. The Red summit also will assess the new U.S. peace offensive on Viet Nam dramatized by President Johnson's forthcoming trip to the Far East.

Brezhnev's sweeping statement Saturday seemed to doom progress on Soviet relations with the United States. Johnson has invited Soviet leaders to visit the United States and urged widening cooperative ties ANTIQUE DEALERS Antique dealers from 11 Kansas cities, four Nebraska cities and one each from Iowa and Illinois are displaying their wares for the third day today at the city auditorium.

It was also agreed that cer tain details surrounding the in- vestigation and arrest could be released if the information would have no bearing on the accused's rights to a fair trial1 to the prosecution of the case. It was also agreed that news men, using their own judge ment, could reveal any past convictions of the accused as all court records are a matter of public record. Only in extreme cases, Judge Woleslagel stated. would the court feel it neces sary to withhold the past rec ord of an accused.

The Hunt case. Woleslaeel said, was unusual but said that in normal circumstances pho tos could he taken and then-. the decision' concerning their use could be made later. All attending agreed that no effort was being made to re- strict news releases although it was up to the individual to weigh the value of any information in question.

The officer has his job, the Judge said, and' the newsman has his. Cooperation between the two will make it easier for both. MOSCOW (UPI) Soviet Communist Party Chairman Leonid I. Brezhnev said Satur day President Johnson was laboring under a "strange and! persistent delusion if he thought relations with eastern Europe could be improved despite the Viet Nam war. The Kremlin leader bluntly rejected Johnson's recent call; for better U.S.

relations with the Communist nations of eastern Europe. He said he agreed with the chief executive that Cold War tensions should be eased but said this was impossible because of the Viet Nam situation. "If the United States wishes to develop mutually advan tageous relations with the Soviet Union, and in principle we would like to do that, too, it is necessary to remove the main obstacle on this road," Brezhnev told a friendship rally honoring visiting Polish leaders. The. obstacles, he declared, can be cleared away by "stopping the piratical raids on the socialist country, the De 0 a ic Republic of (North) Viet Nam, by stopping the aggressive war against the Vietnamese people, not in words but in deed." Call Volunteers To Help Rebuild Wrecked Town BELMOND, Iowa (UPI)-Gov.

Harold E. Hughes Satur day issued a call for volunteers to help rebuild tornado-wrecked Belmond, where six died and hundreds became homeless in a few moments of wind-driven terror. The governor toured Belmond as snow flurries whipped at rescue workers toiling in the wreckage left by the twister which roared up Main Street Friday and smashed almost all of the business buildings and many of the houses in this town of 2,500. Adj. Gen.

Junior Miller told the governor that hundreds were homeless, but that author ities did not know the exact count. Many of the refugees had found shelter in private homes in nearby Clarion. At least 58 persons were hospitalized and treated and released in Belmond and surrounding communities. Mny more possibly hundreds sutierea minor injuries trom flying glass and debris, authorities said. Hughes said Belmond needs volunteer help because doesn't have the financial ability to rebuild We need skilled laborers, truck drivers, or anyone else who feels they have the talents that would be of help Hughes said.

"I'd appreciate it if they would get in touch with the Highway Patrol or the National Guard. We will have a volunteer center with a tele phone number set up later today." It's a horrible sight, governor said as he climbed over rubble and broken build ings. "It looks worse than World War II." Snow flurries driven by cold, 20-mile-per-hour wind- swirled through the wreckage as National Guardsmen and Iowa Highway Patrol officers combed the rubble for more possible victims. Bulldozers and construction equipment were brought in to shove wreckage and debris off the streets. Gas service homes was cut off.

Electric power was off. Only emergency telephone communications were available. Hughes said Belmond "i doubtedly will be declared a major disaster area." However, he said he can't ask federal authorities for such a designation until "we have a thorough evaluation of damages and a report to federal officials." The governor asked that! Sunday be considered by Iowans as a day of prayer, "fori people to be grateful for the lives that were not lost." One survivor, service station operator Frank Pollitt, 43, told what it was like to be causht in the eye of the tornado and live. He and his mechanic clung to each other and to a hoist as the twister clawed at the building. was aware that a car was over me for an instant, then it was gone.

We later found it about 80 feet away. Something struck me on my head and then my arm. I feu to the floor face down and although I really don't; remember anything, it seemed like it was over in about 10 seconds. My eyes and cars were plugged full of dirt and I think I held my breath the entire time "I thought I was going to die. There was absolutely question in my mind that I was going to die.

Many live in extreme poverty. The poten- tial market for agricultural pro- ducts in this part of the world is tremendous. In countries with stable government permittim development of the economy, the outlook is for increased trade with other countries. Ten years ago Japan was re ceiving foreign aid from the United States. Today the Japan ese are our largest cash customer for agricultural products.

Sales totaled $914 million in 1965 and should exceed $1 billion this year. Japanese purchases of U.S. soybeans, corn, grain sorgnums, nicies and tallow ex ceed all other countries. Japan buys more wheat, cotton, and rice than the six-nation European Common Market. Formosa, or Taiwan as it is known there, is now on a cash basis.

It went off of the L. 480 program of food aid on Julv 1, 1965. Our trade with this coun try is expanding but on a smaller scale than with Japan.
