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

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

gation. Rep. Charles C. Diggs CD

to Attorney General William

Stocks Rule Mixed in
Moderate Opening
With Rails Higher
New York-fflPD-Stocks ruled
mixed in a moderately active
opening today.
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.

Washington -(Science Serv
ice) The planet Venus is
named, most inappropriately,
for the Roman goddess of
beauty and bloom. 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

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.

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.

A future rocket to Venus it
self would be troubled by
Venus' dense atmosphere. 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.

The new space probe was to
conduct technical studies of
gaseous "clouds" of plasma

space, and radiation and mag
