The statement by Meredith,
whose entry into the campus last
Sept. 30 caused rioting that killed
two persons and injured hundreds,
brought an immediate appeal
from U. S. Atty. Gen. Robert F.
Kennedy that state and university
officials meet the conditions.
Kennedy said if Meredith leaves
the school "it would be a reflec

He urged state and school offi

Dock Workers
Meet With
Mediator
NEW YORK (UPI) Shippers
and longshoremen met separately
with federal mediators Monday in
an effort to find common ground
for face-to-face talks in the East
and Gulf Coast dock strike that
has thrown 100,000 men out of
work and cost more than $400 mil
lion. Assistant Secretary of Labor
James Reynolds said the atmos
phere has been "slightly improv
ed" because of Sunday's joint
talks by the wage scale commit
tee the first since before the strike
began 16 days ago.
"The conduct of the meeting was
a credit to both sides," he said,
although it produced no real pro
gress on the subject of wages.
Reynolds said the meeting gave
both the New York Shipping Asso
ciation (NYSA) and the Interna
tional , Longshoremen's Association
TLA a chance to state their cur
rent Tosition.
The shippers Monday purchased
a fullDaee advertisement in the
Christian Science Monitor stress
ing that, the strike is a "peril to
the nation" and would hurt the
nation's competitive position in the
-LvnrlH markets if the dockworkers'
demands, estimated at $300 million
a year, and added to cost of car-
an-handlin2.
"Nn matter how efficient Ameri
can industry may be no matter
how fast or efficient modern smp&
mav he the increased snippm,
charges will make our producers
non-competitive," tne aavenc
irJ "We lose the business
our industries lose orders, their
workers lose jobs.
The strike affects an estimated
' 60 000 of the 75,000 longshoremen.
Some dockers are working on mili
tary cargoes and other jobs ap
proved by the I LA under the mas
ter strike plan. It also has added
another 40,000 to 50,000 seamen,
truckers, railroad employees and
other workers.
Edward P. Tastrom, director of
public relations and research for
the NYSA, said the strike has cost
more than $400 million nationwide.
White House sources said that
President Kennedy might seek anti
strike legislation if the walkout is
not settled soon.
The shippers and longshoremen
still were far apart. The shippers
have offered a 22-cent an hour
package. Dockworkers are asking
for a pay increase of 26 cents and
fringe items that bring the total
package to 50 cents an hour.

He also urged Meredith to con-
veteran, did not- specify the con-

asked would have to "make my
situation more conducive to learn

quitting the school outright, "rath
er my decision is not to attend
the university next semester under
the present circumstances."
University Chancellor John D.
Williams said he did not know
what Meredith meant "and until
I do I will have no statement."
Meredith made his announce
ment in a statement handed to
newsmen before he left for his
morning classes.
He said he has considered his
course of action for some time
and said his considerations in
cluded "all the elements perti
nent to the 'Mississippi crisis' j
and its deepest meaning and of
all the aspects of my personal re
lationships in it, and with it and
to it
Meredith, possibly referring to
the rioting last September and to
a recent incident where shots were
fired at his father's Kosciusko,
Miss., home, said "some pattern
must be established so that those
who are fighting for equality of
opportunity - and those who are
fighting for the right to oppress
can clash in the struggle without
disaster falling upon either group."
His statement came only a day
before a grand jury was sched
uled to convene here to consider
cases against -11 persons charged
in connection with the 'Ole Miss
riot, including Mai. Gen. Edwin
Walker.
ivennedy said (Meredith is as
free to leave the school as he
was to enter it" but said he hoped
Meredith will consider that "the

fellow citizens have, been involved
in his admission and continued at

British Say
Their Jets
Hit9 U.S.
WASHINGTON (UPI) London
newspapers touched off a new
controversy over Allied nuclear
defense policy and the Skybolt pro
gram Monday by reporting that
British jet bombers recently pen
etrated U. S. air defenses in a
mock H-bomb attack,
Official U. S. and British spokes
men denied the report. They said
the last time British bombers en
gaged in such an exercise was in
Operation Skyshield II on Oct. 14,
1961. The spokesmen did not say
whether any British planes slip
ped past U. S. defenses then.
The British press and radio re
ports pointed up the controversy
over President Kennedy's decision
to scrap the bomber-born Sky
bolt missile on which Britain had
counted. . More centrally involved
is the role of the manned bomber
in present day Allied defenses.
our London newspapers car
ried reports stating that a few
weeks ago 600-mile-an-hour Brit
ish Vulcan bombers caught the
U. S. early warning system nap
ping and "devastated" such key
target areas as New York and
Washington.
One paper, the Daily Express,
said Britain's lioyal Air Force
saw the exercise as "convincing
evidence that manned bombers,
even using free-falling H-bombs,
will get through to most of their
targets behind the Iron Curtain."
The Express also took note of
the Kennedy-Macmillan plan to
concentrate on the Polaris mis
sile and to mesh British Polaris
forces with a multi-nation strik
ing force under NATO. The news
paper said tne raid vindicated
"the policy of the independent de
terrent."
Denials of the reported H-bomb
"attack" came swiftly from Lon
don and Washington. The British
Air Ministry first said the exer
cise took place "about two months
ago." Later, it said the exercise
was held "around Oct. 14, 1961."
Shortly afterward, the Defense
Department in Washington termed
the British press reports "com
pletely without foundation." Like
the British, the department said
the most recent joint exercise was
on Oct. 14, 1961."
A department statement added
that British Vulcan bombers fre
quently fly to U. S. bases, but not
to test defenses. It said such
flights are made only after the
British planes file flight plans
just as do commercial airliners.

U. N. Troops
Seize More
Territory
By DIETRICH MUMMENDEY
LEOPOLDVILLE, The Congo
(UPD Swedish troops of the Unit
ed Nations Congo forces have
swept 115 miles north of the U.N.
Kamina Air Base to seize more
territory of the secessionist prov
ince, a U. N. spokesman said Mon
day. U. N. Undersecretary General
Ralph Bunche, refusing even to
talk with Katanga President Moise
Tshombe, continued his military
discussions in Elisabethville with
the ranking U. N. officers in the
Congo.
The Central government was
moving to bring Katanga back in
to the Congo. Premier Cyrille
Adoulla Monday signed official pa
pers aimed at instituting Leopold
ville control over Katanga and
creating a single currency" for the
Congo.
Except for the swift advance of
the Swedish strike force from Ka
mina, the military, situation ap
peared quiet. There was no fur
ther reports of U. N. movements
northwest from Jadotville along the
80-mile road to Tshombe's Kolwezi
headquarters. .
U. N. reports said the Swedish
force had reached the town of
Kaniama, 115 miles north of Ka
mina, without resistance. Kania
ma is near the destroyed Lubilash
Bridge which linked Katanga with
the rest of the Congo to the north.
Katangese forces blew up the
center wooden span of the Lubilash
railway bridge last week. Respan-
ning of the river would permit
troops of the Central Congolese
government to cross into Katanga
if that became necessary.
The U. N. reports said the local
tribal chief there had assured the
U. N. of his cooperation.
Although no military action was
reported in the Jadotville area,
Bunche clearly stated the U. N.
tough policy against Tshombe and
mentioned Kolwezi as one- of three
military targets for U. N. forces.
It appeared they were waiting on
ly for arrival of more supplies
and bridge equipment.
Bunche restated his tough policy
in Elisabethville Sunday where he
conferred on the situation with
Ethiopian Lt. Gen. Kebede Gue
bre, U. N. military commander in
the Congo, Indian Lt. Gen. Prem
Chand, commander in Katanga,
and Robert K. A. Gardiner of
Ghana, chief of U. N. civilian op
erations in the Congo.
There were reports the British
and French consulates in Elisa
bethville were trying to get Tshom
be to fly there to salvage what he
could of his almost fallen regime
but no reports of progress.
Peru Junta Plots
Against Rebels
LIMA, Peru (UPD Peru's mili
tary junta met in emergency ses
sion Monday to draft further mea
sures against political extremists
accused of plotting a Communist
revolt.
Reviewed at the session was the
government's "Operation Cleanup"
under which hundreds of political
opponents have been jailed. In
formed sources said between 700
and 1,000 persons had been round
ed up by security agents although
the government estimated arrests
at "about 300" persons. Police and
troops used cars, trucks, trains
and aircraft to pounce on suspend
ed subversives and haul them off
to jail for interrogation. The coun
try was quiet after Saturday's im
position of a state of seige which
the junta attributed to discovery
ot tne revolt plot.

Soviet Press
Blasts Rift
Witli Peking
MOSCOW (UPI) The Soviet
press and radio Monday gave un
usual prominence and publicity at
home and abroad to the Moscow
Peking rift and the Kremlin's
warning that the only alternative
to "peaceful co-existence" with
the West is thermonuclear war.
The official Soviet Communist
party newspaper Pravda pulled
few punches in a rare direct at
tack on Communist China. It cri
ticized Peking for backing "dog
matic, divisive views" and told
the Chinese that disunity in the
international Communist move
ment cannot be tolerated.
' Pravda's 10,008-word editorial,
which filled two of the publica
tion's eight pages, was broadcast
to the world and throughout the
Soviet Union by Radio Moscow.
The radio termed the editorial of
"immense fundamental signifi
cance." The official government newspa
per Iszvestia also called attention
to the Pravda article and said it
had aroused "fervent approval"
and "immense interest" through
out the Communist world.
Western diplomatic observers
speculated that Premier Nikita S.
Khrushchev may have decided to
turn the East German Commun
ist party congress in East Berlin
into a forum for a showdown
with Chinese Communist chair
man Mao Tze-Tung. There has
been no indication yet from Pe
king whether Mao or premier Chou
En-Lai would head its delegation
to the Congress opening on Jan. 15.

Tax Cut Plan
To Succeed ,
Demo Says
WASHINGTON (UPD Speak
er John W. iMcCormack, D-Msss.,
Monday predicted victory for
President Kennedy in his batfles
for a 1963 tax cut and a House
Rules Committee favorable to the
administration's legislative pro
gram. McCormack said he expected
the 88th Congress convening Wed
nesday to grant the President's re
quest for a top-to-bottom reduc
tion in individual and corporate
tax rates. Despite considerable op
position to a cut, McCormack add
ed: "I would expect it this year."
The speaker also said he was op
timistic about winning the Ken-
nedy-McCormack battle with
Chairman Howard W. Smith, D-
Va., of the House Rules Commit
tee. A showdown in this struggle
for power is set for opening day.
Smith will try to trim the rules
committee back to 12 members,
a maneuver that would give him
and his conservative backers con
siderable control over the flow of
legislation. The President is fight
ing to keep it at 15 members, pro
viding him with a friendly major
ity.
Invites President
Across the capitol, a bipartisan
group of senators informally, in
vited the President to . join . them
in their attempt to make it easier
to choke off filibusters. A show
down in this battle is' not expect
ed until a little , later. . ,
The invitation was attended by
Sen. Hubert HI. Humphrey, " D
uMinn., one of 10 Democrats and
Republicans who opened their anti-filibuster
drive at a news con
ference. Humphrey said he hoped
the President would take the same
interest in the Senate fight that
he has in the House rules battle.
' The President has said that a
conservative victory in the rules
struggle would mean emasculation
for his program. He has not spok
en out so far, on the filibuster is
sue although he voted for anti
talkathon moves while a senator.
The bipartisan group is trying
to change Senate rules so that
filibusters can be ended by a sim
ple majority of 51 votes rather than
two-thirds of those present and
V0Iing
There were these other develop
ments as Congress prepared to
open at noon Wednesday:
Kennedy flies back to Wash
ington from his Florida vacation
spot Tuesday and meets shortly
afterward with congressional lead
ers of both parties. The meeting
will be devoted chiefly to defense
and foreign policy aspects of the
President's forthcoming State of
the Union message. Secretary of
State Dean Rusk and Defense Sec
retary Robert S. McNamara were
expected to participate.
The President also was due to
meet shortly, perhaps Wednesday
morning, with Democratic leaders
to discuss such domestic pro
grams as tax cuts, medical care
and aid-to-education. Figuring in
this conference will be the fiscal
1S64 budget which is expected to
run about $99 billion.
Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D
Mass., checked in at his capftol
office and said he wanted to 6e
known as the "senator from Mas
sachusetts" rather than as the
President's youngest brother. He
pledged support to most adminis
tration programs but said he
would have opposed sectionj cf
the President's trade bill if he had
been in Congress last year.
-Sen.-elect Abraham A. Rlhi
coff, former secretary of health,
education and welfare, predicted
that the new Congress would ap
prove a medical care program
under Social Security. He also en
dorsed the President's tax cut
program.
