"It's the greatest thing the president of the United States can do to let the world know we believe in democracy," Wiley Branton, a Negro lawyer from Atlanta, Ga., told a voter registration rally Friday night. The tension eased slightly Friday. Police kept pedestrians --both white and Negro--scat- tered and moving. The Leflore County court- house was blocked off by wooden barricades and police squad cars. However, Police Chief Curtis Lary said Negroes were free to enter the courthouse, provided they walked in small groups in- stead of a mass march.

Over 150 Red Vessels Work Bering Sea KODIAK, Alaska (AP)--More than 150 Russian fishing vessels are operating in the frigid Ber- ing Sea and some 70 Japanese halibut boats are in the East Bering area, a Seattle Times writer reported Friday Stanton H, Patty, on assign- ment with the United States halibut fleet, says he saw about 100 Russian vessels -- whalers and modern super-trawlers with broods of catcher boats--on a flight with a navy patrol plane.| In one concentration about 50 miles north of Unimak Pass, he wrote, 75 Soviet ships were ar. ranged in a circle miles across. "The contingent included trawlers of all sizes," he says, "cargo vessels, smaller catcher boats and hefty whalers. Some boats were tied alongside tank- ers taking fuel. Others were un. * Joading catches at giant, scarred factory ships." Canadian and American hali- but boats sighted later were toys compared to the Russian and Japanese craft, he said.

Publishers Study Revised Settlement Bid NEW YORK (AP)--Publish- ers today consider a revised settlement formula suggested by the striking photoengravers Union to end the city's 113-day newspaper strike. The photoengravers already have scheduled a vote ratifica- tion meeting for 10:30 a.m. EST Sunday, but this appar- ently depends on what the pub- lishers will do, Acceptance of the peace pact by the union's members would mean the end of the prolonged shutdown of eight major dailies. The photoengravers rejected the original settlement terms proposed by Mayor Robert F. Wagner by a vote of 191 to 111 last Wednesday, Early, today, the union's ne- gotiators suggested to Wagner a "rearrangement" of his terms. After studying the suggestion, the mayor told the union offi- cials it came within his earlier Proposal for a $12.63 - a - week package increas over two years and that he would recom- mend the changes to publish- jers later today. | Wagner asked Frank Mc- tight Negroes sentenced in Gowan, president of the strik- city court Friday on disorderly|ing local of the Photoengrave conduct charges resulting from| r > TORONTO (CP) -- Members of the legislature will be freed from provincial business to do some campaigning for federal election candidates next week, Premier Robarts told the leg- islature Friday that the load of legislative work--including leg- islation already introduced and "very important' measures still pending--meant the House could not complete its work by the end of next week. The premier said the impos- sibility of proroguing by the traditional Easter target, along with the possibility that some members might want to be in their ridings nexi week "for ob- vious reasons," indicated the House should rise Wednesday and resume the session April 16, the day following Easter Monday. An interim report of the leg- islature's select committee on municipal law Friday. proposed "a revision or realignment" of the prevince's present system of municipal taxation, The report of the committee, set up two years ago to review the Ontario Municipal Act and related legislation, said the present system of municipal fi- nance is "outmoded, discrim- inatory and compounded by contradiction." BASE ON TWO TYPES The committee, representing all three parties represented in the legislature, recommended Civic Business Tax | Said 'Anachronism that municipal taxation be based on two types of services. "Real property" taxes should pay for services such as water, sewerage, sidewalks, roads: and fire protection, and taxes on persons should finance educa- tion, administration of justice and recreational facilities, it suggested.

In an interview outside the House, Committee Chairman Hollis Beckett (PC -- Toronto- York East) said the reference to a personal tax in the report meant either a municipal in- come tax or a poll tax. The committee termed the present municipal business tax an "anachronism,"' but did not suggest measures for modern- izing it. ROBERT McNAMARA NORTH BAY (CP)--District civic and business representa- tives showed mixed reaction Friday night to a statement by United States Defence Secre- tary Robert McNamara that one of the purposes of the Bo- marc missle is to draw enemy ballistic fire in the event of war, Deputy Mayor James Kelly said in an interview North Bay citizens will not be alarmed. "Compared to the numerous nuclear missile bases the U.S. has throughout the world our Bomare base is nothing but a king-sized joke," he said. -- Bomare anti-aircraft, missile in Canada \bases are located Que.

Bruce McCubbin, business- man and chairman of the North Bay Hydro Commission, com- mented: "If this is the feeling of the United States top brass then I think they should remove the Bomare missile base and let Canada develop its ®wn system of defence.
