This giant stellar system as a distance of about 8 million light years is barely resolvable, in the spiral-arm struc ture, into groups of individual brightest stars, dark dust lanes and luminous gaseous clouds. The giant reflector, second largest in the world, was completed late last year at a cost of $2,800,000. (UPI Telephoto) Students Threaten Boycott; KacoaB Situation Tightens - Montgomery, Ala. - (DPD Nearly half the student body of Alabama State College for Negroes threatened to boycott spring quarter registrations today in protest against segre gation. By mid-morning there was no indication, however, whether the boycott pledge made at a Friday night mass meeting would be effective. The school's registrar said students register in various sections of the school by classes. Authorities feared a boycott would further tighten already taut racial feelings which nearly exploded into blood shed Sunday when a jeering crowd of 10,000 whites pre vented 2,000 Negroes from holding a prayer meeting on the state capitol steps. In Birmingham, Ala., Pub lic Safety Commissioner Eu gene (Bull) - Connor ordered Army Investigates Complaint of Boy Inspecting Troops Frankfurt, (Germany - (DPD -The U. S. Army investigated a complaint today that the 9-year-pld .: son . of a colonel, dressed in a - pint-sized uni form and swagger stick, con ducted his own "inspection" of troops under his father's command., , -Young Ricky Juergen3 was reported to have strutted down the inspection line be hind, his father, Col. K. E. Juergens, in Munich Feb. 26 picking out faults with the soldiers and marking defi ciencies in a notebook. Uniform Complete . ;His specially tailored uni , form was complete with gold- Dcaiaea nat, unit insignia, a row of ribbons and lieuten ant bars. Lt. Col. P. J. Corso, inspec tor general for the 7th Army support command, said his of fice was investigating a com plaint from one of the sol diers. Col. Juergens, a veteran of more than 20 years army serv ice, confirmed the incident but said he had not been aware of what .the boy was doing. " ' , "I wasn't paying too much attention," he said. "An in specting officer doesn't have much chance to notice any thing beyond what he is do ing." An Army spokesman said Ricky's father bought the cloth for his son's uniform and men of the 71st Ordnance Battalion paid for the tailor ing and adopted the boy as their "mascot." " A 7th Army spokesman said the incident appeared to be "misunderstanding" since the boy, as mascot, had been invited to attend the inspec tion. "Apparently he just got out of hand," the spokesman said. "But the incident is being in vestigated fully. You can rest assured it won't happen again." How does Ricky feel about the uproar he created?. "He's pretty disturbed," said his father. 1 Now Many Wear FALSE TEETH With More Comfort comfort, just PrJ?"L,Noiminy. the city's firemen to take special riot training to help in case racial demonstrations spread to industrial Birming ham. Worried authorities conced ed the situation "almost got out of hand" Sunday and sev eral fist fights did occur when the 2,000 Negroes gathered at Dexter Avenue Baptist church with the intention of march ing to the capitol grounds for their prayer meeting protest, which was widely publicized in advance. Pushed Back Police warned Saturday they would not permit the meeting and .when the Ne groes left the church and start ed toward the capitol patrol men armed with clubs and pistols moved in and pushed them back. The police were cheered on by 10,000 whites who milled in the streets, shouting insults. Fearing a full-scale riot, fire trucks with sirens scream ing rushed to the scene and authorities threatened to turn powerful water hoses on the demonstrators. Whit House Picketed Backed into the church yard, the Negroes gathered on the steps and sang "America the Beautiful," and "The Bat tle Hymn of the Republic." Then in groups of 10 or more they left the church and walk ed toward their homes. In Washington, D.C., Sun day 300 Negro college stu dents picketed the White House in support of civil rights legislation and sitdown protests. -, At Tampa, Fla., NAACP officials urged 400 Negroes to follow the example of Negroes staging sitdown strikes at se gregated lunch counters. And in South Carolina the Council of Human Relations offered its services to initiate discuss ions between Negro students and lunch counter owners, and municipal authorities. New Hampsh ire to Be in Political Spotlight Tuesday Washington -(DPD Political map-readers will . watch the New Hampshire presidential primaries Tuesday for fresh clues to show where voters are heading in this presiden tial election year. The clues could be provided by write-in votes for president or vice president, or strong showings by supporters of presidential candidates other than . Vice President Richard M. Nixon and Sen. John F. Kennedy (D-Mass.). New Hampshire traditional ly holds the nation's bell wether presidential primary. The next test will not come until Wisconsin votes four weeks from Tuesday. Nixon Unopposed On the Republican ballot in New Hampshire, Nixon is un opposed in the direct presi dential preference vote. 'On the Democratic ballot, Ken nedy has only nominal oppo sition from Paul C. Fisher, a Chicago manufacturer. A conspicuous blank space on the ballot almost invites write-in votes from persons dissatisfied with the principal candidates. Write-in votes for vice president also are per mitted. - A spectacular write-in vote for Nixon in 1956 helped stall Harold E. Stassen's drive to block the renomination of the vice president as President Eisenhower's running mate. Backers of both Nixon and Kennedy will be pressing for a big vote. Comparisons will be risky, however, because Republicans normally out number Democrats in New Hampshire by a substantial margin. Elect Convention Delegates In addition to the presiden tial preference balloting, New Hampshire voters will, elect delegates to the national po litical conventions. Democrats will choose 20, each with half a vote, and the GOP will elect 14, each with one vote. Other political develop ments over the week end: -Kansas Democrats wound up their state convention with out indicating clearly- who will get the state's support for the presidential nomination. Organizers for both Kennedy and Symington claimed a ma jority of the 21 Kansas votes at the national convention. -Sen. Herman E. Talmadge (D-Ga.) predicted that Demo- cratlc National Chairman Paul M. Butler "won't last long" as party leader after the July convention. Talmadge also hinted at a possible Southern walkout by saying Southerners will "begin to re sent" their role in the party, Administration's $915 Million Request Argued Washington-(DPD-The House launches a "dollars and sense" debate today on the admin istration request for $915 mil lion to run the nation's space program in the next fiscal year. There has been consider able congressional Democrat ic criticism about the pro grams of the National Aero nautics and Space Adminis tration, both concerning the amounts of money the civilian group asks and for what it uses the funds. The President asked in his budget for $915 million for the year beginning July 1 and NASA endorsed the exact amount. Some congressmen have said the agency isn't pushing ing hard enough and ought to ask for more money in order to catch and pass the Soviet Union in the prestige race for space supremacy. Others have charged the naton's security was at stake in a military sense by what they term the failure of the administration to hurry de velopment of super rockets and orbiting, missile-warning satellites. Rep. B. F. Sisk (D-Calif.), a member of the House Space committee, declared Sunday that "a new world cannot be conquered with pennies." Sisk questioned a slowdown in development of the F-l rocket, designed to help this country put a man on the moon. He rejected a claim by associate NASA administrator Richard Horner that Congress forced the cutback by voting only about half the $35 mil lion requested for the rocket in the -current year. The congressman charged that if NASA had regarded the project "with the same sense of urgency it merits," it would have scraped up the necessary funds by trimming less essential programs. Other congressional news: Personnel: Northern sena tors hoped the Sabbath break would cure them at least temporarily from the loss of sleep due to the continuous sessions and ' tne trequent after-midnight quorum calls by Southern filibuster forces. Southerners went back to their talkathon with rested throats and new stocks of de bate material. Retirement: Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey (D-Minn.) called for a six-point federal pro gram to provide better refire- ment security for the nation's 16 million senior citizens. The Democratic presidential candi date proposed extension of Social Security benefits, some tax breaks and assistance for old age housing. Elvis Presley at Home in Memphis Memphis-flJPD-Elvis Presley got home from the Army to day and headed for a mess of black-eyed peas at his $100, 000 suburban mansion. A . rather small group of girls and women greeted the train here. But things back at the Pres ley ranch were somewhat more along the lines to which the singer had grown accus tomed. An estimated 300 fans crowded in front of the iron gate to catch a glimpse of Elvis. The reception was a con trast to the scene in Knox ville Sunday night when the train made a stop. The crowd cheered wildly and chanted, "We want Elvis." One girl tried to scale a lad der at the end of the car and was hauled down by a burly policeman as the group booed. Another young girl sobbed, "I saw Elvis," and tears ran down her face. Rogue Valley Edition Page 2A Stocks in Sixth Straight Session Of Lower Prices So Break Seen en Senate Debate on -Civil mights Ml New York-ffiPD-Stocks suf fered their sixth consecutive session of lower prices today. The market made a feeble attempt to recover part of the day's losses at mid-session, but selling developed new mo mentum in the last hour and a number of leading issues dropped to around their lows for the day. Brokers were interpreting Friday's late recovery drive as too rapid and "frothy" to constitute a real turn-about. When the market opened firm today some analysts were op timistic that the Friday turn about might have been the climactic phase many traders had been awaiting.

No signs of any break in the deadlock developed dur ing the one-day time out tak en by the senators. Both sides in the fight were prepared for another grueling round of night-and-day debate. Decisive Votes Hoped Most of the senators spent the recess from 5:31 p.m. Sat urday to noon today catching up on their sleep and renew ing an acquaintanceship with their families. Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson of. Texas told Unit ed Press International he hoped some decisive 'votes on the controversial legislation might be taken this week but conceded he did not know whether this was possible. In last week's sixrday ses sion, the Senate set two en durance records without any significant votes being taken. House Debate Due The new week also posed the likelihood of both branch es of Congress debating civil rights at the same time. House About one-fifth of the hu man race is Chinese. debate is scheduled to begin Thursday on a milder civil rights bill. It has become more and more apparent that the Sen ate's main hope for a solution lies in action on a House passed bill. Senate GOP Lead er Everett M. Dirksen (111.) said passage of a House bill could shorten Senate debate. ' The determined Southern bloc of 18 senators, fighting all civil rights proposals, was well organized and showed no signs of halting its talkathon.

Anderson says it is not necessary to bal ance the federal budget every year if the government op erates on a surplus basis over the long run. Anderson said budgets should be geared to provide surpluses in prosperous years. But he said "deficits of mod erate size are probably un avoidable - and indeed, they may be desirable during per iods of economic recession." Highly Desirable "We do not necessarily have to strive for a rigorous balance in the budget year in and year out," Anderson said. "The goal of a net surplus in the budget, not only in prosperous periods but, on the average, over a longer period of time also, is highly desir able." Anderson said President Ei senhower's projected $4,200, 000,000 surplus for the fiscal year starting July 1 was fully consistent with this approach "since about 5 per cent of the revenues were earmarked for debt retirement." "Would Be Deficit "If economic conditions were to change drastically and if a recession were to set in," he added, "the surplus would automatically be con verted into a moderate deficit as tax revenues decreased and certain types of expenditures rose." Anderson stressed that a 1961 recession "is a contigen cy which does not seem to be likely, but of course is always a possibility."
