"Memorial TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1961 Complete UPI Wire Servio Fallout Level Highest Ever As Result Of Russian Tests mmmmmmmmmmgzmmmmm-?-. m IN UNITED NATIONS ADDRESS acuity I rH ews 1 By JOSEPH L. MYLER United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI) U.S. fall out , experts said Monday the Rus sians may have thrown as much radioactive pollution into the at mosphere in the first three weeks of their 1961 tests as they did in five weeks of extremely dirty test ing in the fall of 1958. The Soviet autumn tests of 1958 produced the heaviest fallout of radioactive debris from the strato sphere ever recorded in the United States. Those tests started Sept. 30 and ended Nov. 3. This year's began Sept. 1. In the 1958 fall series, the Rus sians exploded 16 nuclear devices, seven of which were equal in power to a megaton or more of TNT. A megaton is one million tons. Through Sept. 22 in the current series the Russians had set off 15 SAYS- RIGHTS COMMISSION MteOTation Is WASHINGTON (AP) The U.S. Civil Rights Commission said Sun day the pace of school desegrega tion "is slow indeed" and urged Congress and the President to hasten it with financial and other pressures. It rapped racial discrimination in schools outside the South as well as the officially supported segre gation of that area. A unanimous recommendation of the six-member commission called for Congressional action to require every local school board to comply with the U.S. Supreme Court's decisions in school segre gation cases. : The report was the second of a series of five the commission is issuing on various phases of civil WORLD NEWS BRIEFS By United Press International Adenauer Huddles With Socialists . : BONN '(UPI) Chancellor Konrad Adenauer and his Socialist op ponents met in an unusual two-hour discussion of international affairs (Monday as the country buzzed with speculation over possible American policy changes on Germany. West Berlin -Mayor Willy Brandt, Adenauer's chief opponent in the Sept. 17 parliamentary elections, led the Socialists delegation. It was the first time in a year that Adenauer had called in the Socialists for a foreign policy discussion. He was suspected of doing it this time, only in hopes of frightening the middle-of-the-road Free Democrats into dropping their demand that he leave the government. Students Capture Buses ALGIERS (UPI) Rioting studnts barricaded downtown Algiers streets with captured buses (Monday night in a screaming demonstra tion for a "French Algeria." Police and troops finally quelled the riot ing after menacing the demonstrators with machine guns, j Thousands of riot police weilded clubs ,and turned pressure hoses spurting blue-dyed water on the students who turned out several hundred strong in a demostration called by the Secret Army Organization OAS. - The rioting started when police moved in to tear down black flags of the right-wing underground "Secret Army." The clash-and-run tussle between police and students continued until after dark. Congolese To Invade? , BANCROFT, Northern Rhodesia (UPI) A trainload of white rcfu grecs fled Elisabethvillc Monday amid rumors that Central Congolese government forces might be readying an invasion of secessionist Ka tanga. .' " The federal Rhodcsian government's refugee chief, Cyril Hone, said 260 Europeans were aboard the train that is scheduled to arri f Tuesday from the Katanga capital. The departure of some white families, plus the arrival in Leopold -ville of army officers from the leftist stronghold of Stanleyville, aroused . fears that the Central Congolese regime, maye be planning an all-out attack to end Katanga's secession. Hone said the number of European families arriving at this bor der town slackened somewhat Monday. He reported a total of 589 refugees reached Rhodesia during the 12 days ending at midnight Sunday night. " V Too Much TV Violence? WASHINGTON (UPI ) Adjournment will bring no recess in con gressional investigations which already have looked into evils ranging from pep pills to loaded dice this year. -4 'Major inquiries planned during the congressional vacation include new drug price hearings, a special investigation of charges that military officers' anti-Communist views have been muzzled and another look at TV crime and violence. .

A 5-1 recommendation proposed that Congress withhold from the various states up to 50 per cent of the federal education grants normally available to them unless all public schools within them are operated on a nondiscriminatory basis. The dissent by Commissioner Robert S. Rankin of Duke Univer sity, Durham, N.C., said that while the recommendation does not pro vide for the withholding of all funds from public schools, "its net effect might be punitive." "I do not believe that school children should be made to suffer for the errors of their . elders," Rankin added.

It is not yet known whether the 1961 Soviet devices have been in dividually as dirty from a radio actvity standpont as those of 1958. If they have been, the new tests have polluted the atmosphere to about the same extent already as the 1958 fall shots did. The United States also resumed tests as a result of the Russian action in breaking the three-year moratorium which followed the 1953 series. But it has set them off un derground, to prevent contamina tion of the atmosphere, and at a far slower pace thus far than the Russian. ow mendation, Rankin went along with a unanimous reaffirmation of a prior proposal that federal funds be withheld from publicly controll ed institutions of higher education which discriminate on grounds of race, color, religion or national origin. A footnote to the recommenda tion on higher education said four present members of the commis sion believe that as a matter of sound public policy the same prin ciple should be extended to private ly controlled institutions. Two other new recommendations call for presential action: 1. federal library aid to communi ties which are not offering free services to all residents, and 2. have the President direct the De fense Department to take steps to assure that dependents of military personnel living on or near bases have an opportunity for education in schools open to all such depend ents without discrimination because of color or race. There were 12 recommendations and all were unanimous except one. In addition to Rankin commis sion members are: Dr. John A. Hannah, president of Michigan State University, chairman: Robert G. Storey, Dallas, Tex., vice chair man; Dean Erwin N. Griswold of the Harvard University Law School; Rev. Theodore M. Hesbuurgh presi dent of Notre Dame University, and Dean Spottswood W. Robinson III of the Howard University Law School. The commission found that be tween 1959 and 1961 only 44 school districts in the 17 Southern and Border states initiated desegrega tion programs 28 of these be cause of court orders or pressures of pending suits. There were only seven per cent of the Negro children in the 17 states attending desegregated schools in 1960-61 and more than 2,000 districts had not started com plying with the Supreme Court decisions, the commission said.

The new Ford economic offer was virtually identical to the settlement reached at General motors, where an official end to strike action was called by the UAW. executive board midnight Sunday. The new offer. Ford Vice Presi dent Malcolm, L; Denise said, was 'subiect to peaceful conclusion of new agreements within the next two weeks." UAW President Walter P. Reu- ther, with only loose ends remain- ine to be tied uo at GM. Monday took personal command of the union negotiations with Ford. But weary and . snappish alter marathon weekend talks at GM, he brushed off Question's about what the union -is seeking at Ford with one word: "justice. Move From Ford However.

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (UPI) President Kennedy said Monday the United States would use any means including nuclear arms to preserve its rights in West Berlin but temp ered his tough stand by offering a comprehensive disarmament pro gram to ensure world peace. Kennedy, in his first policy speech to the United Nations as sembly, challenged Russia to a "peace race" that would call for an immediate end to nuclear test ing. He said the West was not com mitted to a rigid formula for set tling Berlin's future and suggested a free vote. He flatly rejected Russia's "troika" plan of three secretaries general, each with veto power, to succeed the late Secretary Gen eral Dag Hammarskjold. He said to do so would "replace order .with anarchy, action with paralysis and confidence with confusion." Appealing to the small and "un committed" powers to preserve the unity of the United Nations, Ken nedy said: "The secretary general, in a very General Motors. Denise said he did not find this rosting on the cake idea a very persuasive line of reasoning. Ford and the union also imposed a "news blackout on their nego tiations. For an indefinite period, Denise said, they have : agreed to "restrict discussion" of the bar gaining progress. The new Ford offer includes a six cents an hour Dav raise for each of the next three years, along with freezing into basic wages 12 of the present 17 cents an hour in cost of living pay. It also provides for full company paid health insurance, the cost of which workers now share. Other fringe improvements include new unemployment and short-work-weeK benefits, better pensions, moving and separation allowances. No Local Strikes Denise made clear Ford does not want to be hit with local strikes, as GM was, over plant level con tract differences. The company and union, he said, should be able to reach agreement in two weeks "without strikes, either local or national." Ford has 85 local bargaining units. Settlements have been reach ed at only 31, leaving 54 still to be settled. Although the union officially end ed the strikes at General Motors midnight Sunday, pickets continued to block a return to work at a few scattered plants. The key plant still holding out against GM was the stamping plant at West Mifflin, Pa., which makes parts for all GM cars. But Reuther said the situation there would soon "come together." Negotiations at Chrysler are still hanging fire. Student Party Holds Second Meet Tonight The Student Party will hold it sec. ond meeting tonight at 8 p.m. in the Roland Parker Lounge, GM. The main business will be the election of two legislators to fill the seats vacated by members moving from Dorm Men's districts two and five. In an effort to further the estab lishment of contact between the party and the students, the chair man welcomes the attendance of any people who wish to act as Party Representatives in their resi- Membership cards will be ready tonight. The party would especial ly like to welcome feshmen and any other nterested students to attend the meeting. Ian real sense, is the servant of this assembly. Diminish his authority and you diminish the authority of the only body where all nations, regardless of power, are equal and sovereign. Until ail the power ful are just, the weak will be se cure only in the strength of this General Assembly." Interrupted Six Times Interrupted six times for ap plause in his 40-minute speech, the President made these other points: The United Nations is divided not into three forces, but two, one trying to build a peaceful world and the other seeking to under mine the organization. Disarrrtament negotiations should "resume promptly, and con tinue without interruption until an entire program for general and complete disarmament has not only been agreed upon but has been actually achieved." The United States and Britain stand ready to sign "today" a treaty "assuring the end of nuclear tests of all kinds, in every en vironment, under workable con trols." All members should earmark special units in their armed forces, trained and quickly available, for use in U.N. peace force. .The United States will propose U.N. control to reserve outer space for peaceful use. It also wants the U.N. to be the vehicle for coopera tive efforts in weather prediction and control as well as global com munications by satellites. The United States proposed that the 1960's be designated as "the decade of development" to pro mote conversion of all countries into "free and equal nations" through "a cooperative and not a competitive enterprise". Direct Attack On Soviets The United States "intends to be a participant, and not merely an observer, in the peaceful, expe ditious movement of nations from the status of colonies to the part nership of equals". But, the Presi dent said in his only direct attack on . the Soviet Union, "there is no ignoring the fact that the tide of self-determination has not yet reached the communist empire". "The smoldering coals of war in Southeast Asia" threaten South Vietnam. The borders of Burma, Cambodia and India have been re peatedly violated. Negotiations on Laos are reaching a crucial stage with the rainy season coming to an end. The United States "seeks for itself no base, no territory, no special position in this area of any kind". Except for the Communist bloc and Cuba, delegates in the jam packed assembly hall joined in 45 seconds of applause long by U.N. standards as Kennedy finished with this prayerful adjuration: "The decision is ours. Never have the nations of the world had so much to lose or so much to gain. Together we shall save our planet or together we shall perish in its flames. Save it we can and save it we must and then shall we earn the eternal thanks of man and as peace-makers the eternal blessing of God."
