Iraqis Quit Red Schools GEORGE SYVERTSEN MOSCOW (AP)-About 50 Iraqi students have quit Soviet universities and demanded to be sent home, Iraqi embassy sources reported Monday. The students walked off their campuses in protest against the Soviet Union's denunciation of the new Iraqi regime's purge of Communists, these sources said. Mahmoud Shukri, Iraqi embassy cultural attache, said many more of the 1,335 Iraqi students in Russia had asked to turned to their homeland following fistfights betwen those loyal to the new Baghdad regime and those who oppose it.

The embassy tried to avert a mass exodus by limiting eligibility for tickets home to members of the Iraqi Students Union, comprised of supporters of the new government. The Baghdad government has said that only students belonging to the Students Union will be returned home at government expense. The 50 departing students are expected to leave the Soviet Union this week. Shukri said reports of fighting among the Iraqi students came from Leningrad and Lvov universities. The Iraqis are the largest group of foreign students attending Soviet universities.

About 10 of the 45 Iraqi army and air force officers studying here were also reported to be preparing to leave before completing their courses in Soviet military schools. Teacher Dies SPARTANBURG, S.

Youngblood, chief, Clemson Extension Division of Marketing, Columbia, in a summary of marketing work for 1962, says county agents and specialists served 33,450 farmers in selling farm commodities or purchasing supplies. Youngblood's division took part directly in marketing 8,976 carlot equivalents of fruits, vegetables, grain, poultry and poultry products valued at million dollars through supervision of federal-state shipping point inspection for quality, grade, and condition.

It also gave educational advice on harvesting, grading, and packing. County agenis coordinated otherwise assisted in the marketing of products valued at more than $17,800,000, including purchase of supplies valued at million. Requests for marketing assistance were heavy from dairy farmers, those raising beef cattle and hogs, egg producers, soygrowers, and landowners selling pulpwood. Extension workers assisted in the marketing of beef cattle valued at $2,800,000 and hogs valued at $1,380,000. Farmer requests for help in marketing soybeans were up sharply over last year.

Milk products sold with extension workers' help amounted to $2,649,000. The Clemson College Extension Service provided both educational and service help in marketings.

Demand for this work was greatest during movement of the peach, watermelon, and potato crops, Youngblood says. County agents provided market information, assisted in pooling farm commodities, organized sales, and gave advice on quality, grading, and packaging.

Corps commandant, last Dec. 7 after Slay and three other sergeants accused of maltreatment had been taken off duty as drill instructors. She said Shoup properly acted on the letter and ordered an investigation at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot here.

But, she added, she thinks the letter boomeranged husband and that "humiliation" caused by the investigation ruined his chance for a lighter sentence. In her three-page letter to Shoup, Mrs. Slay complained that "my husband is being dealt a dirty deal" by a major not identified, at the subsequent court-martial. "The major possesses an overzealousness to break DIs," she wrote, referring to drill instructors. "I just can't sit back and not do anything to help my husband." Shoup a answered that he would send someone to investigate and report the findings to him.

In January, while a formal pretrial hearing was under way for Slay and the other three sergeants, Gen. James Masters, base commander at Camp Pendleton, arrived at the depot." Slay, his wife and others were called in during a two-day hearing. Civilian attorney John Patterson represented all four of the accused men. He said he "traded out" guilty pleas for relatively light sentences for all but Slay. "I couldn't get the right kind of deal on Slay, so we had to go to trial," Patterson said.

"They apparently wanted to make an example out of him." No comment was available from Marine Corps authorities here.
