One team he was particularly anxious to meet across the chess board was the Soviet. Byrne rated them as having the best chess players in the world. And, as he admitted, he plays better chess with a better opposition. When the U.S. team met with the Soviets in the final round of the Olympiad, however, Byrne was disappointed to find U.S. Captain Kahsdan had not" scheduled him for a match. Ominously, the U.S. team in the ninth round lost, to the Russians 4-0, and from then on it was a downward spin until the United States ended in sixth place, the lowest tally since 1930. Byrne likes to compare Tel Aviv, and the 1964 Olympiad to Bulgaria and the 1962 Olympiad. In Tel Aviv all the players were able to stay in the new-Sheraton Hotel where they also played their games. Novembgr in 'grael is squeezed between the hot season, and stormy, weather. The 1962 Olympiad took place on a resort area on the Black Sea known as "The Red Riviera." The hotel rooms were scattered and not well-constructed. Opening a closet, Byrne found certain dangers in living in hotels on the Of .• : . -. . a 4‘ 1 ft 0 . . . < 4 +q 4855 . ~, . • ~3 -¢~ -_ k.

The doorknob came off in his hand and the whole closet started to fall on top of him. At this world tournament, Byrne was a member of a chess brother act. Robert Byrne, two years older than his brother, is also rated as one of the leading American chess players. Through most of their chess careers, however, Byrne and his brother have not played in competition. For a total of 11 years they were absent from tournament play; Byrne for six years from 1958-1963 and his brother for five. As the situation stands now, neither Byrne nor his brother will play in the 1966 Olympiad. The only bid offered to the World Chess Federation was by Cuba, in order to attract European players, has offered to pay traveling ex penses. No U.S. citizen is allowed to enter Cuba, without having his passport lifted on return. "However, there is a chance that Russia, who's footing most of the bill will back out," the chessman theorized. Byrne learned to play chess from his brother. He entered national competition at the Manhattan Chess Club when he was 14. Before he was graduated from high school, Byrne placed fourth in the OH U.S: Open and by that , time was considered a chess master. Commenting on the game, Byrne said he always tries to complicate the play with as many combinations as pos sible. "But that's all a matter of preference. My brother, on the other hand, likes simple and Clear moves," he•added. Kahsdan, captain of the team, said Byrne's taetics had presented one of the longest series of combinations he had ever seen. UNIVERSITY PARK, PA., FRIDAY MORNING, JANUARY 22, 1965 King Lauds Berkeley Movement FOR A BETTER PENN STATE King Lecture Forum Slated A discussion of last night's :speech by the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. will be lead by i !Ruth C. Silva, professor of polit ical science, at 7:30 p.m. today ! to Warnock lounge.

UP/ The Soviet Union has accused Secretary-General U Thant of taking the side of the United States in the dis pute over depriving debtor na tions of their vote in the U.N. General Assembly. Nikolai T. Fedorenko, th e chief Soviet U.N. delegate, sent a letter to Thant protesting a report he issued last Monday which said the Soviet Union and 15 other nations were two years in arrears on U.N. as sessments, mainly for peace , keeping operations, Since tonday two nations —Haiti and Bolivia—have paid enough to get off the arrears list. The United States contends that the Soviet Union, France and other debtor nations come under Article 19 of the U.N. charter, which says members ,two years in arrears shall lose their assembly vote. The Russians and French contend the peacekeeping as sessments are illegal because they were set by the assembly instead of the Security Coun cil. Because of favorable hotel conditions in Tel Aviv, the chess master noted it was easy to become acquainted with competitors from other countries. The Russians im pressed him as being "very polite, and quite friendly." In fact, one evening Byrne and a teammate toured Tel Aviv with two members of the Soviet team, Boris Spasski, and Leonid Stein. "So far as American players are concerned, the com petition with Russia is great, but to the Russians our games are not so significant," Byrne reported. The: Soviet's three competitors, Yugoslavia, Argentina, and the U.S. combined are constantly anxious to pull an upset on the team that has taken first place in the Olympiads, since 1952 and did it again this year with Yugoslavia in second. The varsity coach's plus score against the Russians, a feat never achieved by any other U.S. player, caused him to be dubbed by one colleague, "The Red Killer." Byrne laughed at the title, remarking his plus score was only a win of one match. All of his matches with the Soviets were won against stiff competition from Soviet and World Champions. Another tournament with Russia is a concern for Byrne since the chessman would like a chance to add a few more pluses to the win column. In the past, however, talk with Russia about another match (the last was in 1955) have always been complicated by Russian official bureaucracy that makes it difficult to schedule matches. THE REV. DR. Martin Luther King Jr. answers questions at press conference prior to speaking to a crowd of 9,000 in Recreation Hall last night. In the lower picture is King as he arrived at University Park airport early last eve ning. With King is Raymond H. Brown, associate pro fessor of music, husband of Nina Brown, administrative assistant in charge of Artist and Lecture Series. McComb Hears Talk Of Library Computers A projeCt at Columbia, Tiar yard, and Yale Medical Libraries for the computerization of book catalogues, was discussed at a meeting attended by Ralph W. McComb, University librarian, in New Haven, Conn. McComb was acompanied by Fred Bryant, medical school li brarian at the University's med leal center in Hershey. The catalog computerization project involves both the gather ing of information and the mech anization of library .processes, The procedures being developed allow printing or library cards from information on punched Icards to be stored in a computer. Not Significant Negro Rights Grow, But Struggle Continues By CAROL POSTHUMUS and MEL ZIEGLER The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. declared last night that "segregation is ,on its death bed today," and the only question remaining is "how costly the segregation ists will make the funerals." King told an estimated crowd of 9,000, which over crowded the newly expanded Recreation Building, that "we have come a long, long way in the struggle for racial justice, but we have a long, long way to go before the problem is solved." The 1964 Nobel Peace Prize winner credited both the Negro and the federal government with achieving the level civil rights has at-' tained today. Ha cited the Negro's progress' in "re-evaluating his own intrin sic worth" and the federal gov ernment's accomplishment "in extending frontiers of civil rights" through judicial de cisions and the 1964 Civil Rights According to McComb, cata logues of medical libraries in volved would be put on magnetic tape, and these tapes would be made available to all , partici pating libraries. Sponsors of the project feel, that computerized catalogues will be the next major step to-, 1 ward increased speed and com-' pleteness of library services, When asked whether Pattee was going to follow up on this, project, McComb said, "For a University library to do this, would be a long-term project and ' would require the cooperation of, many libraries throughout thei country." He stated no definite plans. "The Red Killer", such as his status is, now has no definite plans for future matches. This year's U.S. Open will conflict with his English composition and literature courses next summer. But he isn't worried about loosing his rating. He can always get that back again, as he did in 1963 in the Argentine tournament. Does Byrne fit into the category of infallible chessmen? Not exactly. His one big claim to fame was when 13-year-old Bobby Fisher "chopped him to pieces" in the U.S. Invitational Championship. 'Ever since this outstanding chess game, Fisher has not been stopped and is now rated one of the most brilliant players ever seen After the 1956 "surprise" Byrne was not able to beat the Whiz kid, but drew one game. Mostly, Byrne regards U.S. chess as in a rather de pressed state. "The position of the game is insignificant, and talented players have to be fantastically brilliant, like Fisher, to make a living as a professional." As a chess master, Byrne fits none of the stereotyped views of a chess expert. He exhibits none of Fisher's eccentrism rather like his own deception of the Russians— "very polite, quite friendly"—he has no long' ageless beard, smokes cigarettes instead of a pipe. In his living room there is not a chess set to be seen. Which all might prove it's not what's put on the board, but what you carry in your head that counts. Facing 'the Issues --See Page 2 "If I ended now 1 would leave you the victims of a dangerous optimism," the noted civil rights leader contended. "If democracy is to live, segregation must die." Currently engaged in a cam paign to register Negro voters in Selma, Alabama, King pro posed the establishment of fed eral voting registrars as a solu tion to the widespread problem. King said he would divest local authorities of their jurisdiction ,over voter registration and estab lish a federally-operated proce dure in its place in each county. This, he added, would insure to all those qualified their voting rights. Post Offices As an alternative, King sug gested that local post offices act as voter registration centers operated year-around by the fed eral government. He called on President Lyndon B. Johnson to explore this possibility. Time Magazine's 1963 Man of the Year outlined voter registra tion, housing and job discrim ination economic in equality as the major obstacles remaining !for civil rights leaders to tackle. Between discrimination an d automation, King said, Negroes today have become "a segment of the society who feel they have not stake in it." The solemn-faced champion of Civil Rights called for massive federal-sponsored retraining and public works programs to alle viate the Negro's substandard conditions. Non-Violent King, who is acclaimed for his non-violent approach to the civil rights problem, warned "destructive means cannot bring about constructive ends." In an indictment of actions by extreme segregationists King !cited their alteration of the old slogan "attend the church of your choice" to read "Burn the church of your choice." In repudiating the claim of well-intentioned people who feel that time will alleviate the prob -Icm without the help of further legislation King said "law cannot make a man love me but it can prevent him from lynching me." King said we in us t not "adjust" to the world as it is but through the "love ethic" at the center of non-violence, but alter it to assure equality to everyone.
