All but one of those arrested are Negroes. Cambridge, a community of 12,600, has been under modified martial law since racial violence last summer.

Gel-ston, commander of the 350 National Guard troops here, finally got the demonstrators to disperse after another showdown in the 2nd Ward, a predominantly Negro ward. There was no violence and there were no ar-rests. The general, backed by 25 National Guardsmen with fixed bayonets, headed off the marching Negroes at Pine and High Streets. When confronted with the soldiers, the demonstrators sat down on the pavement in a heavy rain and sang. "As you know," Gelston said on a portable loudspeaker mounted on his jeep, "we can't let you demonstrate.

You know I've got to stop you." with Gelston and Maryland's deputy attorney general. Thirteen demonstrators were arrested in Monday night's clash of troops and integrationlsts. The melee was touched off when about 200 singing, hand-clapping integrationists tried to march on an auditorium where Gov. George C. Wallace of Alabama had spoken.

(AP)- Authorities searched Tuesday for clues to the Identity of the culprit in the apparent deliberate derailment of a Great Northern freight train. Railroad officials said they think the accident is the work of saboteurs.

The FBI agreed. Six diesel units of the fast, westbound freight jumped the track when the lead car struck a "rerailing frog" which had been laid across the tracks. The frog is a crescent-shaped steel bar used like a crowbar in forcing a derailed wheel back on the tracks. There were no injuries in the derailment, which occurred early Tuesday on the north end of the Hillyard Yards in Spokane. Henry Shapleigh, the Great Northern's division superintendent, said he notified Gov.

Albert D. Rosellini, State Atty. Gen. John J. O'Connell and the Spokane County prosecutor's office that he believed the accident was caused deliberately.

Then they went before the Senate to plead with Southern foes of the measure to permit some votes.

The Senate Republican leader, Everett M. Dirksen of Illinois, painted a more optimistic picture. After the weekly luncheon' of GOP senators he told newsmen he believes a compromise bill could be passed in about five more weeks. Dirksen said full accord was reached on the 70-amendment package he offered to the Senate leadership and Atty. Gen.

Robert F. Kennedy last week. He said that after "a final look-see" Wednesday he will put the package before a conference of Republican senators. Earlier in the day, Southern forces met in caucus and agreed not to permit any voting until they feel they have enough to support to write in their version of a jury trial amendment.
