WASHINGTON (UPI) Presi

a new "high-level" effort to re
solve the five-year-old test ban
deadlock with Russia.
"The United States does not pro

hearing to
Larry Shipley
WASHINGTON (UPI) - The
U. S. Supreme Court today denied
a hearing to Larry West Shipley,
21, McMinnville, Ore., who is un
der sentence to die for the slaying
of Linda Jean Stevens, 16, Willa
mina, Ore., on Aug. 8, 1961.
The brief order leaves the state
of Oregon free to carry out the
execution. A death date will be
set in Lincoln County Circuit
Court
Shipley and Glen Douglas Dixon
, both were convicted of first de
gree murder in the slaying of the
girl, whose bullet riddled body
was found on a forest path near
Otis Junction.
Shipley received a- death sen
tence and Dixon was sentenced to
life.
The petition for Supreme Court
review was filed by Attorney Jon

Newman contended there was
unreasonable delay in taking Ship
ley before a magistrate and that
confessions obtained during this
period were erroneously intro
duced in evidence.
Newman said in Portland he
would have no comment on any
future plans until he talked to
Shipley and other attorneys.
"We'll have to reassess the situa
tion," he said.
The Oregon Supreme Court by
a divided vote last Oct. 10 af
firmed Shipley's conviction.
Shipley is one of four persons
facing execution in Oregon. The
high court recently denied a hear
ing to Jeannace June Freeman,
21, who was convicted of throw
ing a boy to his death in the
Crooked River Gorge. Her attor
neys have said they will ask the
court to reconsider.

Big force
for registrations
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (UPI) A
force of more than 800 police
men backed by 700 National
Guardsmen maintained order in
this college town today on the eve
of the pending registration of two
Negroes at the University of Ala
bama.
Gov. George C. Wallace was
scheduled to fly here from Mont
gomery this afternoon to take per
sonal charge of plans for blocking
the enrollment of two Negro stu
dents Tuesday. Despite a federal
injunction against his interference,
Wallace intends to "stand in the
doorway" to keep Negroes Vivian
Malone and James Hood out of
the university.
Wallace has said, however, that
the huge force of 1,500 police of
ficers and Guardsmen was here
to keep law and order and not to
keep the Negroes off the campus.
Wallace was due here at 3:45
p.m., EDT.
Arrest White Men
Officers arrested 15 white men
during the weekend and confiscat
ed a small arsenal of pistols,
rifles, shotguns and steel hooks
used for moving cotton bales.
Wallace reiterated Sunday night
that he would try to prevent the
Negroes from integrating the uni.
versity, but pledged he would do
it in a stern framework of law
and order.
Wallace put Col. Al Lingo, chief
of the Department of Public Safe
ty, in charge of state and local
police officers. Behind this first
line of defense more than 700 Ala
bama National Guardsmen were
held in reserve in the event they
were needed.
Maj. Gen. Alfred Harrison, state
adjutant general and Guard com
mander, said the units included
two companies of "special forces."
The special troops wore vari
colored berets to identify them
from regular Guardsmen. They re
ceived rigorous training at Ft
Benning, Ga which Harrison
said even surpassed Commando
and Ranger training.
He said the Alabama group was
one of seven such units in the
nation and was regarded as the
"toughest in the Army." He said
the special troops can handle any

Court agrees
fo consider
2 key areas
WASHINGTON (UPI)-The Su
preme Court decided today to
give further consideration next
term to two key areas of legal
controversy the apportionment of
state legislatures and sit in
demonstrations.
It agreed to hear arguments
and then hand down rulings on a
series of cases involving both is
sues sometime next fall or
winter. The court is expected to
end its present session in a week
or so.
Accepted for consideration next
fall were reapportionment cases
from New York, Maryland, Vir
ginia and Alabama in which city
voters charged they had inade
quate representation in state leg
islatures on a population basis.
Landmark Case
All of the cases arose after the
court ruled last year in a land
mark case Involving Tennessee
that federal courts had the right
to consider voter claims of unfair
apportionment.
The court today similarly
agreed to review next term sit-in
cases from Columbia, S C., Balti
more, Md., and Miami, Fla.
These cases, along with an
amusement park case from Mary
land, may determine whether a
private businessman may deny
service to a customer on racial
grounds.
Last month, the court ruled that
sit-in demonstrators cannot be
prosecuted under local ordinances
or official edicts requiring facili
ties. But that decision did not
touch on the issue of whether a
private owner could have demon
strators arrested In the absence
of such laws.
The court also sent back for re
consideration by lower courts sit

Hopewell, and Arlington County,
Va.
that "I believe we can help them
to do it"- by setting the example
in all areas of human relations.
Never Were Enemies
Noting that Russia and the Unit
ed States never had opposed each
other on the battlefield, Kennedy
said "both the United States and
its allies, and the Soviet Union and
its allies, have a mutually deep
interest in a just and genuine
peace and in halting the arms
race."

WASHINGTON (UPI) - AUy.
Gen. Robert F. Kennedy met for
nearly two hours today with South-
I em senators to discuss the ad
ministration s forthcoming civil
lights legislation. He told them
final details still had not been
worked out.
Details of the closed meeting at
the Capitol were skimpy. But one
participant, Sen. Allen J. Ellen
der, D-La., conceded dryly after
t.htt Kpssinn that "thpre wnjwi't
much meeting of the minds."
The attorney general's session
with about a dozen Dixie senators
came as President Kennedy was
appealing anew for peaceful solu
tion of spreading racial strife In
the nation.
The President told the graduat
ing class of American University
here that In seeking world peace,
the nation must.iook inward to
assure that there also is peace at
nome.
With reference to the adminis
(ration's, forthcoming civil rights
proposals to be presented to Con
gress, the President said the gov
ernment has a responsibility to
see that freedom is guaranteed to
all citizens.
He said Congress also must do
its part in this respect and cor
rect inadequacies where they ex
ist.
Senate Democratic Leader Mike
Mansfield, Mont., said the attor
ney general told the Southern sen
ators, however, that no "final
conclusions" have yet been
reached on details of the civil
rights package.
His statement reinforced other
signs that the proposals would not
be submitted to Congress until
late in the week.
' The President has scheduled
another meeting Tuesday with a
group of business executives with
operations in the South to appeal
for voluntary desegregation of
public facilities. He also will
meet later in the week with
union leaders to seek equal job
opportunities for Negroes.
There appeared no doubt that
Southerners would attempt to fili
buster the plan to death in the
Senate. Mansfield said this was
not discussed at today's session
but made clear there was no
question in his mind about the
Dixie tactics.
In the Senate today, a Southern
senator predicted that the Senate
would enact an administration
civil rights program this year.

NASHVILLE, Tcnn. (UPI) -Teamsters
Union President James

Gray Jr. gave defense lawyers
until July 22 to file pre-trial mo

the motions by July 29. He did
not set a hearing date on the mo
tions immediately.
Gray allowed Hoffa and the
other defendants to remain free
under their present bond of
$10,000.
Hoffa was named in all five
counts of an indictment returned
May 9. He could receive up to
25 years in prison and a $25,000
fine if convicted on each count.
The Teamsters chief, on his ar
rival here Sunday night, com
plained he could not get a fair
trial anywhere in the United
States.
It would be impossible lo find
an unbiased jury, Hoffa told news
men when he got out of his pri
vate plane here.
He said Atty. Gen. Robert Ken
nedy had gone on television and
said "Hoffa is guilty of this, and
Hoffa is guilty of that, and juries
who didn't convict him didnt
know what they were doing."
Charges Bribery Attempt
The indictments returned by the
grand jury charged that bribes to
taling at least $75,000 were offered
to influence jurors and prospec
tive jurors to vote for Hoffa s ac
quittal.
Henry F. (Buster) Bell ol tne
Bronx, New York, was accused of
conspiring to offer bribes totaling
$55,000. The indictments alleged
Bell offered a prospective juror
$30,000 and offered a Nashville
man $25,000 to persuade two jur
ors to vote for Hoffa's acquittal.
Lawrence Medlin, a Nashville
businessman, was charged with
offering a prospective juror $10,-
000, and Thomas Ewing Parks of
Nashville was accused of offering
the son of a juror $10,000 to be
split with his father.
The government also contended
that Ewing King, president of
Teamsters Local 327, offered to
assist the husband of a woman
juror in obtaining a promotion in
the highway patrol if he would
persuade his wife to vote for
Hoffa's acquittal.
