Walker Nixed
By Goldwater
And J. Tower
Name Is Removed
From GOP Program
WASHINGTON (UPI) Form
er Maj. Gen. Edwin A. Walker has
been scratched from the program
of a Madison Square Garden rally
as a result of objections by GOP
Sens. Barry Goldwater, Ariz., and
John G. Tower, Tex., it was
learned Tuesday.
Walker's invitation to appear at
the March 7 rally in New York
City was withdrawn by Young
Americans for Freedom. The con
servative youth group advised the
former general his appearance
might be taken as an endorsement
of his Democratic candidacy for
governor of Texas.
Walker said in Dallas, however,
that as far as he knew, the invi
tation had not been withdrawn. He
said he had been invited by Gold
water. Meantime, Secretary of State
Dean Rusk called in a group of
senators to discuss U.S. Congo
policy, including the administra
tion's stand on a visa application
bv Katanga President M o i s e
Tshombe. scheduled to be hon
ored at the rally.
Says Application Incomplete
Tower, who has taken the lead
in pressing the State Department
to grant the visa, attended the
lunch session. The State Depart
ment said recently it had not act
ed on Tshombe's visa because he
filed an "incomplete application."
A spokesman for Tower said
the question of Walker's appear
ance was raised with both Tower
and Goldwater, who are to deli
ver speeches at the rally, before
the former division commander
jumped into the Texas guberna
torial race.
Tower, it was said, suggested
that if Walker entered politics, he
would become a partisan. The
senator was said to have suggest
ed it might be well to ask the
former general to withdraw from
the rally.
After Walker's candidacy for the
Democratic gubernatorial nomina
tion became official, officers of
Young Americans for Freedom de
cided to make no change in the
program, it was said.
Gives Group Choice
Goldwater then was reported to
have told the group he would not
participate if Walker was retained.
Tower apoarently shared this feel
ing but did not take as strong a
position.
SHOW FREE TO DATE

Glenn May
Blast Off
This A.M.
CAPE CANAVERAL (UPI)
Astronaut John H. Glenn Jr. was
reported "smiling and anxious" to
rocket into space early Wednesday
but stormy weather over the At
lantic gave him a bare 50-50
chance of taking off on America's
first orbital flight.
At the same time, scientists were
determined to give Glenn a "go"
if they could find "a hole to shoot
through" in any clouds over Cape
Canaveral and if weather in re
covery areas looked favorable. If
at all possible, they did not want
to disappoint the spaceman again.
From a technical standpoint,, all
phases of the man-in-orbit pro
gram were ready for a one, two,
or three-orbit flight sometime be
tween 7:30 a.m., EST, and 12:30
p.m., EST. Glenn's 10-story rocket
and "Friendship-7" space capsule
were reported in top condition.
However, Lt. Col. John A. (Shor
ty) Powers, astronaut spokesman,
said chances for a launch were
just about 50-50 because of the
tricky weather that plagues the
firing and recovery areas at this
time of year. There were two
chief areas of concern.
The National Aeronautics &
Space Administration (NASA) re
ported that "marginal conditions,
fresh winds and moderately high
seas were likely in the Atlantic
where , the 40-year-old Glenn- would
splash down after a one-orbit
flight.
At the Cape Canaveral launch
site, the forecast was for clouds
or fog which could persist until
mid-morning. Such conditions im
periled chances for a three-orbit
flight. On such a ride, lasting
nearly five hours, Glenn must be
launched early enough to give re
covery ships in the .Atlantic at
least three hours of daylight to
search for him if necessary.
Thus the weather could close in
on Glenn with a vise that limited
him to a two-orbit flight, if any.
The word from hangar 8 where
Glenn spent his final pre-flight
hours indicated he did not relish
the unfavorable weather forecasts
and the circumstances that have
forced seven postponements of the
flight in two months.
Powers said that all the Mer
cury astronauts, despite indoctri
nation on the uncertainties .of roc
ketry, are "instinctively impa
tient." Even so, he said, they
are "accustomed to waiting." He
described Glenn as "smiling and
anxious." i

For Protection Of 25,000
Duke To Construct
Fallout Shelters
Duke University's Fall Out Pre
paredness Committee has an
nounced plans for the protection
of 25,000 people from radioactive
injury in the case of nuclear at
tack. The Committee, composed, of ad
ministration officials, the Duke
radiation safety officer and a ra
dioisotope expert, has been mak
ing plans since lrst July for the
shelter of all the people making
up the Duke community, includ
ing hospital patients, staff, stu
dents, employees and their fam
ilies. Plans call for the housing of
groups of people in various cam
pus buildings, which have areas
that are under ground.
Not Prime
It is estimated by the panel that
since Durham is not a prime tar
get area, a minimum of one hour
would be available to seek pro
tection. Refugees would occupy
the shelter areas, all on the Men's

Campus (West) in an effort to elim
inate duplication of effort.
Ten buildings on the West cam
pus have been designated shelter
areas. Mostly in corridors, these
would have to be occupied for six
hours and then radiation would be
at a level low enough to allow
moving into rooms. Fallout refu
gees would be divided into groups
of about 200 to 400 each with a
unit-control officer, medical per
sonnel and a radiation control
technician assigned to it.
Structures containing the groups
would vary in the number accom
modated, ranging from 351 in the
Law School to 15,000 in the Medi
cal Center.
Auxiliary Supply
Plans also include provisions
for a 300-kilowatt auxiliary electric
power supply and wells that would
provide an emergency water sup
ply in the event of the pollution
of the local reservoirs, and fans
for the ventilation of pure air.
"Paintings Upstairs" serves both
as a name and a direction to Chap
el Hill's latest effort at communi
cation between artists and art lov
ers. The. sign "Paintings Upstairs"
hangs outside the Country Store
on Franklin Street, across' from
the Zoom Zoom, and directs the
public to ' a small second floor
studio. Here Jane Haslam, a
graduate in Art History from Dc
Pauw University, and Eleanor
Smith who graduated from the
Art Department of the University
of North Carolina, have opened a
gallery in which local artists can
display their works for sale.
The gallery opened last Sunday
with a one man show by Robert
Shannon. In the future grqup
shows by local artists will be fea
tured. "Our purpose is to provide
an outlet for local art" says Elean
or Smith." We plan to display
works of high quality and those
which will sell." Remarking that
these are" not always the same.
she went on to say that she and
her partner will select the works
to be shown.
Robert Shannon has recently re

the UNC art department and his
works are well known in this area.
His display includes paintings,
metal . sculptures, and graphic
pieces.

Khruschev Opposes
Inspection Plans
MOSCOW (UPI) The Soviet
Union reaffirmed its opposition to
disarmament controls Tuesday and
said the United States is trying
to sidestep Premier Kikita S.
Khrushchev's call for a summit
conference in Geneva.
The Kremlin gave Khrushchev's
proposal wide publicity in the ma
jor official information outlets, in
dicating the Soviet leaders plan a
tough stand on the proposal witn
fullest possible propaganda ex
ploitation of any rejection by the
West.
Publication of Khrushchev's let
ter to President Kennedy and Brit
ish Prime Minister Harold Mac
millan bolstered the belief that
the premier intends to attend the
18 - nation Geneva disarmament
conference opening March 14 ev
en if the Western leaders stay
away.
While urging the convening of a
top-level meeting, Moscow Radio
made it clear that the Kremlin
has not changed its opposition to
Western demands for international
controls over disarmament. It said
the controls proposal is a Western
attempt to set up a spy network.
"The plan of setting up an in
ternational system of espionage un
der the pretext of inspection has
nothing in common with the ces
sation of nuclear tests and the
solving of the disarmament prob
lem," the radio said. "The Soviet
Union has stated more than once
that it would never accept such
proposals."
The Soviet government newspa
per Izvestia was critical of Secre
tary of State Dean Rusk's state
ment that any summit meeting
should be proceded by a foreign
ministers' meeting.
House Speaks
To Freshman
Class Tonight
Chancellor Emeritus Robert
House will be the guest speaker at
the open meeting of the freshman
class tonight in Carroll Hall at
7:30.
Details of two class dances will
be announced at thi stime.
Class president Bob Spearman
will give a summary of the ac
complishments of the class officers
since elections and committee re
ports wil be given on the activities
and plans of the various commit
tees. Discussions willl be held on
projects for the class, also.
most outstanding characteristic of
his work is that it retains some
degree of subject matter. His
themes are generally universal and
sometimes religious. Through a
scries of about 15 works he deals
with a theme of "procession,"
which he attempts to convey on
both an universal and individual
level.
Mr. Shannon explains that his
purpose is to "interpret artistically
through the painting, intellectually
through his subject and emotionally
through the response he arouses in
the observer." He finds that most
of his paintings are interpreted by
the public as he intends.
At this time Mr. Shannon's main
interest is in metal sculpture. One
of these works is an angel, which
was begun as a Christmas tree
ornament and ended up as a statue
taller than the tree!
According to Eleanor Smith, Mr.
Shannon's works are expensive for
this area because the artist is so
well recognized. The According
to national scales they arc inex
pensive for the quality they rcpre
sent.
SCIENTIFIC SOCIETY MEETING
The Elisha Mitchell Scientific
Society will meet at 7:30 p.m. this
Tuesday in 285 Phillips Hall. Pap
ers will be presented by Dr. Wal
ter R. Benson and Dr. William M.
Brinkhous.
Izvestia said Rusk's arguments
"are absolutely untonable." Deny
ing speculation that Khrushchev
actually wants to discuss a wide
range of East-West problems, Iz
vestia said the premier "stated
with absolute clarity" that he wants
to discuss only disarmament. It
indicated that Khrushchev consid
ers a summit "necessary" to
tackle the orucial disarmament
problem.
The official Communist party
newspaper Pravda said Khrush
chev's principal aim in proposing
the summit conference is to pro
mote "peaceful co-existence" be
tween East and West.
Rusk Holds Talk
With Ambassadors
WASHINGTON (UPI) Secre
tary of State Dean Rusk Tuesday
discussed with the British and
French ambassadors Allied dip
lomatic strategy which some high
officials believes will lead to a
summit conference with Russia
this summer or fall.
Administration sources said the
strategy is to hold out the possi
bility of a top level meeting as
"bait" to Soviet Premier Nikita
Khrushchev in an effort to secure
uRssian concessions at the Gen
eva disarmament talks and to
keep the Berlin crisis subdued.
