Member Audit Bureau of Circulations. In Talks With Moscow Moscow Rebuffed President Ismail El Azhari. The Russians sent a letter Tuesday to. the U.N. Security Council president, charging Israel with creating 'a situation in the Suez Canal area "that could develop into a wider military conflict." The letter, which followed an Israeli claim that it has the right to patrol the canal by boat, was considered an indication that the Soviets were abandoning their attempt to resolution demanding Iqraeli withdrawal through the emergency U.N.

General Assembly. Apparently the Soviets were preparing to take their case back to the Security Council. The assembly, which was called by the Soviet Union, has frustrated Russian hopes for a condemnation of Israel as the aggressor in the June war and a demand that Israel take its troops off Arab soil. The assembly reconvenes Thursday after a three-day recess and may wind up the special session before the end of the week. Stock List Noon prices furnished by Frost Johnson Read Smith, Shelor Bldg.

Kosygin on how to bring about an Israeli drawal from Arab land seized the June war. The absence of any claim of agreement strongly, suggested the Arabs and Soviets disagreed on how to do it.

Sponsors of the antitrust exemption commercial consolidation would produce editorial competition rather than out-of-business newspapers. Bagdikian, Washington-based author of numerous. articles, and John J.

Flynn, a law professor at the University of Utah, disagreed with the 'sponsors.

Clark told a Senate subcommittee Tuesday there is no way measure the number of potential trouble spots nor is it "constructive to dwell on this side of the ledger." But he said "numerous cities have an environmental condition that lends itself to a tial, in varying degrees; for rioting and other civil disturbance activities." Wirtz told another Senate subcommittee that riots have occurred "as the result of inaction -or worse--lasting for a ry."

At the news conference, he said that unless the GOP gives the people a choice of philosophies, "maybe it ought to be destroyed. And then a new party will spring up in 1972." In his speech, he said it this way: "Maybe one of these ought to be destroyed for not giving you a choice." Newsmen asked the former governor what he thought about the Negro rioting at Newark, N. J.
