He de clared his nation ready to negoti ate for peace at any time or place and at any level. Me blamed the West for world tension and said any talks be tween him and President Kennedy should be part of a wider plan to draw up a German peace treaty. Again he linked the questions of complete and universal disarma ment and the question of nuclear weapons tests and said both ques tions must be solved simultane ously. Khrushchev's statements were in a letter replying to an appeal from the recent Belgrade, Yugo slavia, conference of 25 non aligned nations asking him to meet with the U.S. President. The appeal v/as carried to him Sept. 5 by Prime Minister Nehru of India and President Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana. President Kennedy issued a re ply exactly a week ago to a sim ilar appeal from the conference. Kennedy approved the idea of a top-level conference ..if there was advance indication of “a reason able amount of success.” He warned the United. States would not be threatened into talks and was ’‘prepared to meet force with force," if necessary, to protect West Berlin. Khrushchev's letter to Nehru, as reported by the Soviet news agency Tass, said: "In all the postwar period the threat of war has never perhaps been felt as keenly as today." The Soviet leader charged the! West with ‘‘intensifying military! preparations in every way.” | “It appears that these countries 1 are not averse to using for a gen-j eial showdown the central ques-i lion which brooks no delay the' question of a German peace 1 treaty.

Bernreuter said that he expects 1,250 more students with late per missions to register today, bring ling the fall term registration total to 17,400. i Registration was every bit as smooth as it had been during the summer term period, Bern reuter said.

During the fall term, the Number 6 course cards will be pulled for these schedules in the registrar’s office, in an attempt to pre-regis ter the students, One advantage of this experi ment, Haffner said, is that it will enable the scheduling office io know in advance what the actual loads will be. It the re quests outnumber the vacancies, he said, the office can contact the departments so they can anticipate these loads and make provision for them. The registration procedure for [the winter term will be somewhat abbreviated, Haffner said.
