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.

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

the federal government still
held the board and the univer

responsible.

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,

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.

Red Tests in Space
Exceed U.S. Effort
WASHINGTON Itfl The So
Viet Union has detonated nu
clear blasts in space at least
28 times as powerful as the
U.S. high - altitude explosion
which sent a new radiation belt
whirling around the earth July
8, a comparison showed Fri
day. 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

being declassified to show how
even a relatively small nuclear
device could create high-altitude
radiation of considerable
strength, and to give some per
spective for judging Soviet high
altitude testing.
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

This was the fourth consecu

with Wirtz to work out an agree

The new labor secretary was
under heavy pressure to speed

Wirtz had received approximate

The strike has crippled trans

It was understood that onlv
about three points would be sub

The board will be appointed as
soon as tne two parties agree on

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.
