D. Williams, members of the State College Board for failure to enroll Ne gro James H. Meredith in the University of Mississippi. A hearing was set for Monday it New Orleans. Personal Refusal The Justice Department, mov ing swiftly in the wake of Gov. Ross Barnett's personal refusal to admit the 29-year-old Negro to the school Thursday, put its request before a three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals here. The appeals court judges are here for a hearing in another case. Thursday night, barely hours after Barnett rejected the Negro Air Force veteran's application in a dramatic showdown on the campus at Oxford, the Justice Department asked U.S. Dist. Judge Sidney Mize at Meridian to cite the school's top leaders for contempt. 61; Dean Arthur B Registrar Robert B. Ellis. Three federal courts reach ing all the way up to the U.S. Supreme Court had ordered Meredith's enrollment and the end of segregation at the 114-year-old institution. Acting Registrar But Barnett, clothed in the powers of the board and acting as registrar, rejected Meredith. Earlier, the governor had said he would go to jail, if necessary, to prevent the desegregation of the university where he took his own law degree. But the federal government bypassed him in its legal coun termoves. A spokesman for the Justice Department in Washing ton, Edwin 0. Guthman, said the federal government still held the board and the univer sity officials and not Barnett responsible. Meredith's own plans remain HATTIESBURG.

Federal Officials Meredith, 29, an Air Force veteran seeking to transfer from Jackson State College for Ne groes, was accompanied to Ox ford Thursday by three U.S. officials, including John Barrett, second U.S. assistant attorney general in charge of the civil rights division, and Chief U.S. Marshal James McShane, who was with runaway spy Robert A.

Students Gather While the conference went on, about 2,000 students gathered outside. They roared the famed Olc Miss fight cheer, "Hotty, Toddy!" They shouted, "We Want Ross! We Want Ross!" Meredith reappeared, bringing on a chorus of boos. Some stu dents cursed. Others laughed. The slightly-built Meredith, fa ther of two, smiled faintly. He got back in the car and drove away. As the auto left, the throng raced from behind the cordon of patrolmen, and pressed near the car. None was seen hitting or touching the auto. The crowd broke up soon afterward. Qromyko: We Won't Pay One Penny UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. Wl In advance of an important policy address Friday to the U.N. General Assembly, Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei A. Gromyko served notice his gov ernment will not pay one cent to support the U.N. force in the Congo. Gromyko indicated he might deal with U.N. finances in his address, which is expected to range over a wide area of cold firm "a policy of collective fi-i assessed for both operations. war issues, including charges of nancial responsibility" U.S. aggressive designs on Cuba. actions. for U.N, The Soviet foreign minister's address will be part of the 108 nation assembly's general policy debate. Gromyko's views on U.N. fi nancing clashed with those of Adlai E. Stevenson, chief U.S. delegate.

The Atomic Energy Commis sion announced that the size of the U.S. blast July 9 over the Pacific was put at the equiva lent of 1.4 million tons of TNT. Other sources said the Soviet high-altitude blast of Aug. 5 was equal to 40 million tons of TNT. Informed sources outside the AEC said the information was Eugene to Host Parent - Teachers Eugene will be the site of the 1963 meeting of the Oregon Congress of Parents and Teach ers. Delegates, ending the 1962 convention in Roseburg, voted to meet in Eugene next year, United Press International reported. A resolution opposing a No vember ballot measure that would repeal school district re organization was adopted by the congress. Unwelcome Loot TUCSON, Ariz.

Silenced Satellites The U.S. blast knocked out communications from three U.S. satellites, as electrons from the nuclear explosion formed belt around the earth. The new information also set the altitude of the U.S. blast at 250 miles, some 40 miles higher than the previously re ported altitude. Nearly two months after the U.S. nuclear blast, the United States said the radiation belt created by it was much stronger than expected and might last for many years. At that time, both the AEC and the Defense Department said there would be no danger to man-in-space programs, since the new radiation belt "clearly lies above the path of currently manned flights." Tests in Arctic The Soviet tests are held high above the Arctic island of Nova ya Zemlya, and so far there have been no Indications of what altitude the Soviets have chosen to fire their blasts. There was no statement as to what danger might arise for manned space flight from the Soviet blasts. The purpose of the high-altitude nuclear blasts is to check the effects on communications signals, and yield data on the effects of nuclear explosions in space and their possible value in destroying attacking missiles. Gromyko stated the Soviet po sition on U.N. financing to a newsman who asked if he ex pected the assembly to approve the July 20 advisory opinion of the World Court that all U.N. members are obliged to pay for the special peacekeeping opera tions in the Congo and Middle East. "The only thing I can say," Gromyko remarked, "is that we are not going to pay for this not one penny. Why should we pay for the crimes they commit ted in the Congo . . . the colo nialists and their agents? It is against our policy, against our convictions. Asked which crimes meant, he mentioned the chaos in the Congo, the killing of one time premier Patrice Lumumba in Katanga province and the continued secession of that province. The Soviet Union is one of more than 25 members who do not help pay for the U.N. force in the Middle East and almost 55 that do not help pay for the U.N. force in the Congo, despite the fact that all members are ihc Communist members of the 21-mcmber sisering com mittee the Soviet Union, Poland and Romania lost on two issues Thursday as the com mittee recommended the di vision of various issues for de bate by the assembly and its seven working committees. The United States got the Hungarian question assigned to the special political committee rather than the assembly. That will mean an earlier debate, perhaps before the U.S. con gressional election Nov. 6. The Communists insisted on a separate debate on withdraw al of foreign troops from South Korea. But the committee voted for a Greek proposal to have it bracketed for riohato with (hp be ! annual reDort nf the It.N. fnm- mission' for the Unification of Korea. WASHINGTON OIPD Actinc W. Willard Wirtz met Friday with union and management officials amid reports a settlement was immi nent in the 23-day-old Chicago and North Western Railway strike. This was the fourth consecu tive day both sides had met with Wirtz to work out an agree ment on points to submit to an arbitration board. The new labor secretary was under heavy pressure to speed an agreement. A spokesman for tne Labor Department said Wirtz had received approximate ly 2,000 telegrams from Mid west mayors and other officials and groups ursine an end tn the walkout by 1,000 telegraphers. The strike has crippled trans portation in several states. It was understood that onlv about three points would be sub mitted to an arbitration board. The board will be appointed as soon as tne two parties agree on wording of the questions involv ed. The questions pertain to the manned and speed in which te legraphers' jobs, which the rail way says arc no longer needed, will be eliminated.

Atom Power May Propel U.S. to Moon VIENNA, Austria (aV-Glenn T. Seaborg, chairman of the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission, says nuclear power may carry the first American spaceship to the Moon and later a manned spaceship to Mars. Seaborg told a news confer ence results of a test program conducted jointly by AEC and the National Aeronautic and Space Administration suggest that nuclear power can do the job sooner than chemical pro pcllants. He said the trip to the Moon would be one of the first stages of a long-range program aimed at landing a manned nuclear driven spaceship on Mars for a reconnaissance mission and bringing it back to earth. Seaborg, chief of the U. S. delegation to the general con ference of the International Atomic Energy here, made his statements in explanation of what he had told a panel of In ternational scientists, including a Russian, Thursday night He said the first nuclear space flight test was expected to take Divers Surface After 7 Days MARSEILLES. France IUPD Two French frogmen sur faced near here Friday after spending a week near the bot tom of the sea in a test to see if man could live and work in Davy Jones' Locker. Claude Wesley, 30, and Al bert Falco, 35, were pulled aboard the French oceano graphic ship Calypso after seven days and seven nights spent 33 feet below sea level. They made their home in a steel cylinder below the surface off an island near here in the Mediterranean. The two breathed a mixture of 80 per cent oxygen and 20 per cent blended gases for one hour before surfacing. This was to protect them against a possible attack of the "bends" which strikes divers' blood circulation when they are raised too quickly from below sea level. The two will be kept for 48 hours in the care of Dr. Xavicr Fructurs, the chief doctor of Cmdr. Yves Cous tcau's occanographic team. The divers lived in a steel cylinder eight feet in di ameter and 20 feet long named Diogenes. Costcau designed the cylin der and sent Wesley and Fal co down to live in it to see if prolonged stays at high at mospheric pressures would bother the human system. Wesley and Falco surpassed by nearly six days the 27-hour record set for high pressure underwater living by a Bel gian diver at Villcfranche Bay, near Nice, last week. Wesley and Falco- worked about five hours a day during their week undersea. They set our mirrors to light the way to their under water haven in tho daytime and powerful searchlights to illuminate it at night. They collected fish In nets and put them into a cage they had attached to the sea bot tom, thus starting the building of an undersea "farm." Wesley and Falco whilcd away their leisure hours play ing the harmonica and the ac cordion, reading and watch ing television and listening to the radio. They took their meals hot, delivered them in sealed pres sure cookers by other skin divers, and even received a barber and a dentist who donned aqualunga and flippers to pay the house calls.
