Satellite chiefs return as Khrushchev seeks unity with China
Soviet satellite leaders left Berlin after a weekend meeting with Premier Khrushchev to shore up support for talks with China. Janos Kadar of Hungary and Wladyslaw Gomulka of Poland headed home while Romania and Albania stayed away. The absence signals rifts in the world Communist movement and sets the stage for the Moscow conference opening Friday. China repeated its hard line while accusing the Soviet Union of expulsions and a smashed display case at its Moscow embassy.

Kennedy presses public accommodations bill as civil rights keystone
Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy told the Senate Commerce Committee that passage of the administration public accommodations bill is imperative to remove a daily insult to Negroes. He noted the bill would cover privately owned establishments affecting interstate commerce, with barbershops and beauty shops likely included while laundries and doctors might be exempt. Kennedy resisted exempting small businesses and said the measure should apply broadly, though some social relationships in tiny venues might be protected. He hinted that adding a fair employment practices bill could gain White House support.
