Recording Disclosed
In U. S. Plane Crash
WASHINGTON W The United

day a secret recording of excited.

of Soviet jet fighter pilots shooting
down a helpless U. S. transport
plane.

for Perspective'
World War II service was in the
Far East, where he became in 1944
assistant chief of staff operations
for the Far East Air Service com
mand at Brisbane, and later chief
of management for the control, with
his base in Hollandia, New Guinea.
Since the war, General Young has
served in various Important' posts,
with the atomic tests operations at
Bikini, as chief of -the guided mis

him off, boys, I will finish him off

The graphic recording was made
public by the State Department on
the eve of thebu rial of two victims
cf the plane crash. In all, 17 Ameri
can airmen may have died. Cer-
ainly six did.
It was last Sept. 2 that the un
armed C130 transport was downed,
near the border between Turkey and
Soviet Armenia.
The craft was admittedly off
course and it crashed about 25 miles
inside Armenia but there was no
question about it being a transport.
and there was a suspicion it may
have been led astray by Soviet ra
die signals.

This committee is responsible for grams to the governors of Arkan-

In speaking for his bill. Levy,
although no longer a member of
the Legslature, said he felt the
bill should still be considered as if
it were the first time it was being
presented.
He told the solons that the bill
was still important and that they
had two choices, either to amend
the bill or defeat it
They defeated it.
A bill, introduced by Jim Crown-
over (SP) at the last session, to
establish a Campus Affairs Board
was passed.
Crownover stated that such a
Board would eliminate the necess

bill an "excellent move." He said
it is a great step forward toward
a more closely . knitted student

Plans for a multi-purpose coliseum

as a basketball stadium, armory,

The coliseum proposal has re

treated the incident as just another
airplane crash. They have ignored
the tape recording and denied in
formation of the missing 11 Americans.
The United States government al
most from the beginning took the
position that the transport was shot
down. But until today it had de
clined to disclose except to the
Moscow government the basis for
this determined assertion.
The tape recording purportedly
covers the operation of five Soviet
fighter pilots from the beginning ol
a search for the transport over So

From Senate Democratic leader
Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas came
assurances the Eisenhower sug
gestions "will be considered on
their merits by fair minded men
seeking to resolve rather than
sharpen the conflicts within our
country."
Yet trouble obviously lies ahead
to begin with, in hearings a Senate
judiciary subcommittee is starting
march on assorted civil rights
measures.
But then, the administration had
trouble itself in whipping the pro
gram together.
Reportedly stripped away at the
last momentw as a provision allow
ing the federal government to in
tervene more directly in suits in
tended to enforce segregation. This
(Se CIVIL RIGHTS, eol. 4, page 3,'
WASHINGTON UP) President
Eisenhower asked a divided Con
gress yesterday to make it a fed
eral crime to use force or mob
violence to block racial integration
of schools under court orders.
The President also asked the leg
islators to strengthen the FBI's hand
in dealing with school and church
bombing cases and to authorize fed
eral funds and advice to help states
make the change to desegregated
schools.
These were key proposals in a
seven-point civil rights program
submitted to congress in a brief,
special message. The Justice, Wel-
are and Labor Departments im
mediately followed through with the
dispatch of seven bills to the capi-
tol.
Reaction was cut to a familiar
pattern the Eisenhower civil rights
program either goes too far or not
far enough, depending on whether
a southern segregationist or a north
ern liberal is talking. And then there
are the in-betweens, largely staunch
administration supporters from GOP
ranks, who said it was just right.
Southerners called the program
offensive, a form of bribery, and
an intrusion into a field where the
federal government has no business.
Sen. Richard D. Russell (D-GA), a
leader of Senate southerners, said
Eisenhower offers political legisla- jDorm Men's n, Paul Woodard-
Town Men's m, Ed Levy, and Town
Men"s TV, Gary Greer.
All persons interested in being
elected to any of these positions
should be interviewed by the Stu
dent Party Legislative Board in Ro
land Parker 1 from 2-5 p.m. today
and from 1-3 p.m. Monday.
Those students who are unable
to attend the Legislative Interview
ing Board meeting should contact
Jim Crownover.
. Also, today is the last day for
students to be interviewed for SP
Legislatura' nominations from the
four Town Men's districts and
Cobb, Avery, Parker and Teague
dormitories.

vacancies in he Legislature at its

Positions open are in the dis

tion. He predicted significantly that
"a vigorous effort will be made to
amend any civil rights bill that
reaches the floor with punitive pro
visions requesting that the South be
pz.tror.ed, policed and punished."
From the opposite camp, chair
man Emanuel Celler (D-NY) of the
House Judiciary Committee com
mented: . J
"An empty gesture so far as the
schools are concerned. It provides
a snail's pace for enforcement."
Various Reublicans called the pro
gram temperate and moderate, as
Eisenhower himself did in advance
of its submission.
