egregationisfs Seek Measures To Gemfeat Sitdowns A 1 M Demonstrations Continue To Spread in South By United Press International Segregation forces sought legal measures today to com bat the wave of sitdown dem onstrations that have spread over the south. - inirty-seven JNegroes ar rested during an anti-segrega tion demonstration at Ala bama State College in Mont gomery, Ala., last Tuesday were scheduled to go on trial today. In Littl Rock, Ark., scene of school integration violence two years ago, a number of Negro lunch counter demon strators who refused orders to leave a store were promptly arrested by police Thursday Bills Approved " The Mississippi . House of Representatives a p-p roved threee bills setting punish ment for any Negro "sit downs" in the state, provid ing a maximum $500 fine and six months jail sentence. Albama Gov. John Patter son ordered an investigation into the possibility of closing the Negro college in Mont gomery because of racial ten sion. Another demonstration was staged Thursday in Hunts- ville, Ala., -vhere some 60 young Negro men paraded through the 10-block down town area carrying signs which read: "Alabama, heart or Dixie, house of tyrants" and "take freedom from one, lose it for all." Results Doubted In other racial develop ments: North Carolina Gov. Lu ster H. Hodges predicted Thursday that sitdown demon strations against segregated eating facilities will not pro duce the results that Negroes are seeking. The governor ad mitted he was concerned about the demonstrations. In Atanta, seven Negroes took seats in the front center section intended for white oc cupants at the matinee per formance of "My. Fair Lady" at the municipal auditorium. The presence of the Negroes did not cause any great dis turbance, but there were com plaints from some white pa trons. Won't Tolerate Pilgrimage Gov. Ernest F. Hollingsi announced Thursday that South Carolina would "not tolerate" a proposed Saturday pilgrimage to the state capi tol buildings by Negro stu dents protesting racial segre gation. Rep. Charles C. Diggs CD Mich.) said he sent a telegram to Attorney General William P. Rogers asking for an im mediate investigation; of "po lice state methods and abuse usedgainst Negro citizens in Montgomery, Ala." TIME 0F LAUNCH I SATELLITE REACHES P ....-r. ' I VICiHITt 01?

Market analysts note that the absence of any great sell ing pressure Thursday in the wake of Wednesday's sharp recovery does not suggest an immediate resumption of the downward movement. Rails, they point out, resisted the market's general heaviness to close higher on balance. The consensus is that in dividual stocks would con tinue to outperform the gen eral list until a more definite trend develops.

For al though it is lovely as a morn ing or evening star, Venus must be about as beautiful, close up, as Los Angeles' smog. Far from blooming, the sec ond planet from the sun is a dark world just a little small er than its neighbor, the i earth, Venus has a dense and turbulent atmosphere contain ing white particles in suspen sion, astronomers believe. This atmosphere bars as tronomers from viewing the solid surface of the planet, but astronomers have analyzed the light reflected by Venus' atmosphere and found no free oxygen or water vapor but plenty of carbon dioxide. Thus astronomers speculate Venus' surface must be dark, dry and Rocket Functions Well in Take Off From Launch Pad Snider Leaves for State Meetings Medford's Mayor John Sni der is ' heading a delegation from the League of Oregon Cities which is meeting with city officials of cities in Clat sop and Tillamook counties. Snider, who recently be came president of the League when Loren D. McKinley of Tillamook resigned that post, said the meetings are the first in a series which will be held throughout the state for the purpose of acquainting city officials with the League's activities. When speaking of the ad vantages of the League, Sni der said he will be speaking from experience because Med ford has used many of the benefits which the League makes available to its mem ber cities, such as police train ing courses and work on the codification of city laws. In addition to summarizing the League's activities, the! meetings will also serve thej purpose of discussing current j city problems and reviewing ; legislative needs of Oregon! cities, according to Snider. i Following meetings in As-, toria and Tillamook, Snider j will return to Medford before leaving again later this month ! for meetings in Clackamas, j Multnomah, Yamhill and! Lincoln counties. He said the", balance of the state will bei covered in April. (Continued from Page 1) The slender, white rocket broke loose from its pad claimps and rose slowly into the air. Ice which had formed on its liquid oxygen cooiea hull fell from the booster in a brilliant shower. It plunged behind low- hanging clouds about 20 sec onds later as it soared into the sky. The 90-foot-tall rocket, one of the nation s most reliable but a failure in all three pre vious attempts to launch space probes, appeared to be func tioning well as it climbed steeply and disappeared. Tracking stations around the world were tuned to 378 megacycles, the frequency on which the planetoid's compact but powerful 150-watt trans mitter is supposed to keep in touch with earth from as far away as 50 million miles. To Relay Findings Powered by solar cells in four "paddlewheel" vanes, the radio station will relay find ings of five experiments de signed to find out more about what makes the solar system tick - if all goes well. The sardine-tight ball of radios, tubes, microphones and memory units, so tempera mental that scientists spent nearly two years getting it all in working order, was aimed toward an orbit that would carry it around the sun 506 million miles once every 295 days. It would swing back and forth between the orbits of Venus and Earth. But astron omers said it would not come close to either for another 100,000 years or so because the planets themselves would be elsewhere, millions of miles away in their own paths. First Known Attempt This marked the first known attempt to establish a system of communications at interplanetary ranges, al though Russia's 3,328-pound Lunik I and America's 13.4 pound Pioneer IV, launched slightly over one year ago, are circling the sun between Earth and Mars. The new "radio station" planetoid was designed to con duct research needed before man himself can hope to step behind the threshold of space. It was to test deep-space com munications and to gather more exact data on hazardous radiations and dust particles inhabiting so-called "empty" space. The payload, including 40 pounds of structure shell and instruments and 50 pounds of transmitters, power supply and electronics, was sched uled to separate from the last stage of the Thor-Able about five minutes after launch. To Become Amplifier Scientists designed a five watt transmitter to "read out" experimental data during the early part of the flight. At a point several million miles from earth, it was to become a "booster" amplifier for the 150-watt transmitter. According to the plan, the big transmitter would operate five minutes out of every hour, storing energy the rest of the time, as it curved in toward the sun on the five month journey to Venus' or bit. Scientists could contact it every time the planetoid came covered by a continuous dust storm. A few months ago, Dr. James A. Van Allen of the State University of Iowa said Mars and Venus have radia tion belts similar to those he discovered around the earth. And just a few months be fore, the Massachusetts Insti tute of Technology bounced radar from Venus for the first time. Venus' orbit is about 25,000,000 miles from er'i. This known distance is far from precise. Because cu tins, man cannot hope to hit Venus or come close to it by just aiming a rocket and firing. The rocket would need a guid ance system that could keep the rocket aimed at Venus in flight. With such mid-course and or terminal guidance, rockets, such as the Thor-Able sent towards Venus' orbit, could hit the planet. The best date for such a shot in the near future would be Jan. 13, 1961.

This would impose great friction and heat on the rocket. The dense atmosphere may also prevent heat from the sun from escaping the planet. Estimates of temperatures on Venus range to 500 degrees Fahrenheit or more.

Pioneer IV set the present distance record for deep-space communications, 407,000 miles before its transmitter went dead more than 80 hours after launch. The new space probe was to conduct technical studies of gaseous "clouds" of plasma floating through space from the sun, micrometeorite ac tivity, effects of solar flares in space, and radiation and mag netic fields.
