CHINESE DEMONSTRATE OVER RUSSIAN CLASH
This radiophoto, transmitted by Peking’s Hsinhua Agency and received in Frankfurt, Ger
many, carried caption saying it shows civilians and soldiers demonstrating in Peking over
recent border clash with Soviet Russia. The demonstration was said to have centered in
Fanshiu Road, near the Soviet Embassy. (AP Wirephoto via cable from Frankfurt)
Chinese Marches Continue
TOKYO (JP)—Anti-Soviet dem
onstrations went into a third day
Wednesday in Peking: but a Japa
nese correspondent said they were
carefully controlled to avoid fur
ther worsening of relations with
Moscow after a battle on the
Manchurian border.
E The demonstrators were kept
■ away from the Soviet Embassy,
I said leshige Akioko, correspond-
I ent of the newspaper Asahi. The
I crowds had surged around the
embassy Monday shouting anti-
Russian slogans.
Akioka gave no estimate of the
crowds, but the Yugoslav news
agency Tanjug in a Peking dis
patch said a million Chinese dem
onstrated.
The dispatch said the Chinese
people were told that Chinese
guards returned fire after they
were fired on by Soviet border
guards Sunday at an island in
the Ussuri River on the Chinese-
Siberian border.
The Soviet Pacific Border Com
mand reported Wednesday the
commander of a Russian border
post was killed and “some of his
comrades” were shot when 200
screaming Chinese charged on
Damansky Island, known to the
Chinese as Chenpao.
Judge Favors
Marital Sex
For Prisoners
PHILADELPHIA <i5 > >—A judge
says that sex in jail between
husbands and wives, “is desirable
—and would make a convict’s fu
ture life worth living.”
“Otherwise a prisoner won’t be
worth a damn,” says Judge Ray
mond Pace Alexander of Phila
delphia Common Pleas Court.
“We’ll still be sending monsters
out into the community.”
He says he’d like some liber
alization of normal sex relations
in prison, involving married cou
ples, and also unwed inmates “if
they have legitimate long-term
common-law relationships, backed
up by sufficient evidence, and not
any phony setup.”
ALEXANDER SAID the Scan
dinavian countries permit con
jugal visits. So do jails in Peru,
Argentina, Chile, Brazil, the Mid
dle and Far East.
Alexander, the first Negro ever
elected to City Council and then
to the bench here, made his pro
posal to his court colleagues and
urged them to show “courage”
in exploring the problem.
The judge said he advanced
the proposal “because of the hor
rible, the horrendous sexual
crimes that happen in prisons
today, and that have been hap
pening for more than 100 years.”
A RECENT report by the dis
trict attorney’s office said homo
sexual rapes are “epidemic” in
Philadelphia prisons, and esti
mated conservatively that at least
1,000 occur annually.
“Virtually every slightly built
young man committed by the
courts is sexually approached
within hours after his admission
to prison,” said the report.
“It takes a strong man or
woman to resist sex in prison,”
Alexander said.

Daley Blasts Democrats
For Nominating Humphrey
CHICAGO L' Z P>—Mayor Richard
J. Daley strongly criticized Wed
nesday Hubert Humphrey’s cam
paign for the presidency and said
he thought Humphrey should not
have been nominated by the Dem
ocratic party.
“I thought we should have had
a stronger candidate,” Daley told
a news conference.
Daley said he thought Hum
phrey lost the election because
he did not campaign vigorously
enough in Illinois.
AT TIMES almost incoherent
and shaking with rage, Daley
said, “I don’t think there’s any
doubt about it—Humphrey didn’t
get the vote in the suburbs he
should have.”
Daley, head of one of the
strongest and last big city politi
cal machines, said that Hum
phrey, unlike John F. Kennedy
and Lyndon B. Johnson, refused
to campaign extensively in Illi
nois, despite constant appeals
from himself and other top Illi
nois Democrats.
The untypical outburst from
the mayor came during question
ing by reporters following a news
conference at which officials of
Sears, Roebuck and Co. an
nounced plans for construction of
Japanese Film Classic Showing
Set Friday In MSC Ballroom
“Rashomon,” an award-winning
Japanese film, will be shown in
the Memorial Student Center
Ballroom at 8 p.m. Friday, Film
Committee chairman Carlos Al-
maguer announced Wednesday.
Also showing with “Rashomon”
will be “Ocurrence at Owl Creek
Bridge,” the Academy Award
winning short film.
“Rashomon” was awarded the
Oscar as “Best Foreign Film”
and was the first Japanese film
ever to receive world-wide recog
nition.
“A revolutionary film which
explores psychological and aes
thetic levels, ‘Rashomon’ has an
emotional impact due to unexpect
ed beauty of classic Japanese
scenes, not photographic trick
ery,” Almaguer said.
“It is essentially an inquiry
into the nature of truth,” he add
ed. The principle characters
have been involved in a murder
and rape. In flashback sequences,
the audience is allowed to see
them as they saw each other.
“The film shows each version
with complete conviction making
the audience decide the relative
truth of each testimony,” he said.
“Occurence at Owl Creek
Bridge” deals with reality as seen
by a condemned Civil War soldier
at his hanging.
Season tickets for the film pre
sentation and the remainder of
the season may be purchased at
the Student Program office and
at the door.
a new national headquarters on
the West Side.
ASKED IF he agreed with
Humphrey’s statement on televi
sion this week that disturbances
in the streets during the Demo
cratic National Convention in
Chicago last summer contributed
to Humphrey’s defeat, the mayor
told a television newsman:
“The American public was de
frauded by television coverage
of the convention. You and your
stations set up what happened
at Michigan and Balbo, and ev
erybody knows that.”
He referred to one of the ma
jor confrontations between anti
war demonstrators and police at
Michigan Avenue and Balbo.
THE MAYOR restricted his
anger over news coverage of the
convention to television. “I’m
talking about television,” he said.
Daley insisted that he had
nothing to do with the handling
of the convention. “I had noth
ing to do with setting up the
convention or with running the
police department.”
Police handling of demonstra
tions has come in for wide criti
cism, and several policemen have
been suspended for their conduct
during the convention.
Humphrey, in Louisville, Ky.,
for a speech, turned aside ques
tions about Daley’s attack.
“I’ve been in politics a long
time,” the former vice president
told a news conference, “and one
of the things I’ve learned is that
there are more fight promoters
than peace makers. I don’t in
tend to take the bait."
