Communists Common Cold Holds Up Complex ParfsMarch Space Flight; Systems Go Monday PARIS (AP) — About 5,000 left-wing demonstrators parad ed noisily through eastern Paris today to protest American in volvement in the Vietnam war. The march was far from the American Embassy, where President Nixon was meeting a group of private french citizens. An American flag was report ed burned at one point along the route. The demonstration was called by the Communist p arty to show its support for the South Viet namese National Liberation Front, but other student and la bor groups later joined. The pa rade was broken into two parts with the well-disciplined Com munist group in front and the unorganized Maoist Commu nists, anarchists and others at the rear. The march started from the Place de la Repulbique and headed for the Place de la Na tion, stretching out for almost a mile. But short of the Place de la Nation, helmeted riot police were drawn up across the street barring the route. As the demonstrators were as sembling at Place de la Repub- lique, youths scaled the big col umn in the square to plant Viet Cong flags. Their slogans read “Nixon m u rderer,” “U.S. go home” and “the NLF will win.” Louis Baillot, a Communisf member of the Paris City Coun cil, was one of the group which went up to negotiate with police to clear their blockade so the march could pass. When nolice refused, Baillot said \rT ikre's nothing to-do but break up since we have been res fused passage. We’ve been marching for an hour and for a forbidden demonstration it is a great success.

To their surprise, amid brok en chairs, tables, pipes and stones, they found only 20 sleepy youths behind five lines of b a rri cades. About 2,000 others had slipped away during the night. Eight were arrested. Only one was a Rome University student. The others were high school pupils from other cities and an airline employe. Another youth was injured, the only casualty of the massive takeover, which came after three straight days of anti-A merican riots led by students. Often numbering up to 5.000, the students had been occupying the university interm itter/ly since the beginning of the year. Some students, dubbed “Nazi Maoists” by theiir classmates, were holed up in the law faculty for the last 47 days. Students were demanding educational changes, saying teaching m eth ods were outdated. The Rome rector shut down the university intermittently cause of the spreading occupa tion. Tbe Academic Senate urged him Saturday to reopen the school to classes.

(AP) — With one of the cold-plagued Apollo 9 astronauts cured and the other two “much im proved,” launch crews received the green light Saturday to con tinue preparations for a Monday launching. Dr. Charles A. Perry, chief astronaut physician, announced after an extensive physical ex amination th a t Air Force Col. David R. Scott was over his cold. Berry reported that the other two astronauts, James A. Mc- Divitt and Russell L. Schweick- art, were much better. All three were taken off medication, but McDivitt and Schweickart con tinued to take vitamin C and to gargle with hot s a lt water to re lieve their sore throats, now classed as minor. Another examination was scheduled for Sunday, but doc tors felt the astronauts would be well enough to rocket into space as scheduled. The colds had forced a three-day postpone m ent, the first tim e that illness has delayed a U.S. rnan-in- space mission. The spacemen were well-rest ed after sleeping more than nine hours. Schweickart and Scott each jogged a mile at the moon- port and McDivitt exercised in a gymnasium. They had planned to rest most of the day, but they felt so good that they climbed into a space- Arabs Will Halt If Israel Roes BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) - King Hussein gave notice today that he would halt Arab guerril la attacks from Jordan once Is rael had withdrawn from occu pied Arab territory. It would be against Jordan’s interests to turn the country into a permanent guerrilla base, the king said in an interview pub lished in the Beirut newspaper Al Nahar. “To turn the Middle East into another Vietnam and Amman into another Hanoi is contrary to all our interests,” he said Amman is Jordan’s capital. The king’s statement seemed calculated to de-escalate the Middle East crisis and increase prospects for a peaceful settle ment. It was issued as U.N. peace envoy Gunnar Jarrirg prepared fui a new round of talks with Is rael and the Arab countries and as the Big Four powers—the United States, Britain, France and the Soviet Union—shaped for talks on the Middle East. Israel has demanded a ban on guerrilla operations as part of any solution. Hussein discounted fears in some quarters that a settlement along the lines of the U.N. Secu rity Council resolution of Nov. 22, 1967 would lead to an open clash wilh the guerrillas. “We believe that when there is a political solution, our breth ren will understand its realistic aspect and will implement it,” he said. The king warned, however, that if the U.N. peace plan fails “there will be no alternative but to take up arm s.” “Every one of us, whether here in Jordan or in the occu pied Arab land, will then be come a commando,” he said. ASCS Urges Avoid Rush To Sign Up Canton — “Come early and avoid th e crowd,” was the perennial advice from Agri cultural Stabilization and Conservation Offices across the country as the seven-week period for producer signup in farm program s passed mid point and edged tow a rd its M arch 21 deadline. A lthough ASCS offices in New Y o rk State will tak e ap plications to participate in farm program s any time through M arch 21, producers are urged to file applications as early as possible according to F rank Norton, chairm a n of the St. Lawrence County ASC Com mittee. The program s are voluntary and farm e rs sign up for them in order to take part, N o rton said. Sign-up brings into focus crop plans for the year ahead. In short, farm e rs indicate their inten tions to take part in th e pro gram s for 1969, including the extent to which they will par ticipate in the wheat and feed grain program s. U n d e r the feed grain pro gram for 1969, farm e rs may earn diversion and price sup port paym ents as well as qualify for price-support loans on their corn, barley and grain sorghum crops. A d d itional details on pro gram s • a re available from ASCS personnel aiding in signup at either com munity sittings or at the county ASCS office at 88 Main St., Canton, o r by phoning Canton 386-2401. « Aj 4* DONOR PREPARATION — A R e d Cross nurse prepares Clifford Felt f o ’ h is dona- tioi ui biooa d u n n g Thursday’s visit of the bloodmobile to the Presbyterian Church.

MOHBAT Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) - For mer President Dwight D. Eisen hower remained very weak and in serious condition Saturday. But the action of his closely watched heart continued stable. He is fighting pneumonia while still in the critical period following risky surgery last Sun day to remove an intestinal blockage. “ Gen. Eisenhower rested well last night but still remains very weak,” his doctors at Walter Reed Army Hospital said in a Saturday morning bulletin. “The nasogastric tube (that was being used for oxygen ther apy) was removed last night, and he is being given sm all amounts of liquids by mouth to day. “There has been no further progression of the pneumonia. President Nixon Sees DeGaulle Striking Tone Of Cooperation By WALTER R. MEARS Associated Press Writer PARIS (AP) — President Nix on, after two days of talks with President Charles de Gaulle, said Saturday his personal di plomacy in France and other nations of Europe had set a tone of cooperation which will help break any future “diplomatic logjam” among the Western al lies. Nixon suggested that the French president, sometimes a troublesome partner, travel to Washington for another round of face-to-face talks. That account of the Presi dent’s conferences in Paris and Versailles came from White House press secretary Ronald L. Ziegler as the President neared the conclusion of his eight-day swing through five al lied nations. Twice during a day of talks at the Trias on Palace, overlooking the gardens of Versailles, the two presidents conferred alone, except for interpreters. One Saturday session lasted 93 minutes, the other an hour and 28 minutes. On Friday, Nix on and De Gaulle conferred for two hours and 10 minutes. Another one-hou talk is scheduled for today before. Nixon leaves Paris for Vatican City where he will wind up his tour with a visit to Pope Paul VI. “The President feels that this unprecedented amount of time devoted to the talks provided an opportunity for a full exchange of views and for significant pro gress toward developing a coop erative approach toward some of the issues involved,” Ziegler said. “ The extensive private talks were cordial, informative and candid.” Ziegler refused to discuss in any but the m ost vague and general terms the topics in volved. Asked whether the confer ences had led to an improve m ent in the outlook for French-American relation , Zie gler said: “I wouldn't charac terize them one way or the oth er.” The two presidents emerged sm iling after two sessions in the elegant Trianon. Nixon went on to a meeting with a group of French citizens in Paris where 5,000 leftwingers had paraded earlier in protest against the Vietnam war. A French spokesman said “very good rseults” can be ex pected for French-American re lations from the Nixon-De Gaulle talks. Roger Vaurs of the French Foreign Office said the two presidents discussed all the sub jects considered essential to both sides. “This was, not a negotiation; it was an exchange of views and a clarification of positions,” he commented. “We think these clarifications w ill have very good results as far as relations between the two countries arc concerned. There was as much frankness and cordiality in the exchanges as there was confi dence.” Malone Woman Rolls 681 Triple Malone — Mrs. Linda' Col lins, a blonde Malone bow ler who tips the scales at no m o re than 100 pounds and whose average in sanctioned competition is in the high 140s, electrified fellow bowl ers in the Ladies City League Thursday night a t the P e a r l S treet lanes w h en she wal loped the pins for a torrid 681 series.

Launch-time is set at 11 a.m. Monday. While circling the earth for 10 days, the astronauts’ main job is to prove the the flight worthi ness of the lunar module—LEM —the spindley-Ugged vehicle designed to land two men on the moon, hopefully on the Apollo 11 flight next July. The LEM rides into orbit aboard the same Saturn 5 rock et. Once in space the astronauts aire to link th' main Arwlln com mand module to the LEM and operate the combined vehicles for several days. On the fourth day, Schweickart plans a two- hour space walk in which he transfers hand-over-hana on railings from the LEM to the command module and back to the LEM. Purpose is to demon strate this emergency transfer method in case the two vehicles can’t dock or a connecting crawl-through tunnel is blocked. On the fifth day. McDivitt and Schweickart are to fly the LEM 109 miles away and execute a tricky rendezvous and docking exercise in which they seek out Scott in the command module. LEM is not built to re-.-nter the atmosphere, so they must rejoin Scott in order to get home. His cardiovascular status re mains stable.\ Doctors had disclosed Friday the onset of pneumonia in the base of the 78-year-old general's right lung. They added a further ominous note with the opinion that the pneumonia and attend ant breathing difficulties are placing a considerable new strain on a heart damaged by seven attacks. Brig. Gen. Frederic J. Hughes Jr., hospital commandant, told newsmen Saturday former general’s condit'Oi is consid ered serious by his Army doc tors. “We are not calling it criti cal.\ he said, “although he is still in the critical post-opera tive stage.\ Hughes said that critical peri od, when Eisenhower will be un der the most intensive scrutiny, should last perhaps one more week barring further complica tions. No relatives have been sum moned to the bedside in the third-floor presidential suite, he said. Eisenhower’s wile. Ma mie, is in an adjoining suite and sees him frequently. Some 95 per cent of pneumo nia patients recover in these days of antibiotics. But the five-star general’s condition is complicated by his history of heart attacks, his age, and the fact that the pneumonia set in during the immediate post-oper ative period. Murf The Surf Sentenced To life In Prison., FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (APi - Jack “Murf the Surf” Murphy, handsome beachboy- turned jewel thief, was found guilty of first degree murder Saturday and sentenced to life in prison Form e r karate teacher Jack Griffith, Murphy's codefendant, was found guilty of second de gree m u rder and given 43 years.
