Miss. -WPP- Attor neys for Negro veteran James H. Meredith said he would try to enroll today at the ra cially segregated University of Mississippi. There was a barrage of last ditch legal maneuvers by state officials in attempt to bar him. Meredith was to be accom panied to the tree-lined, 100-year-old campus by U. S. dep uty marshals. No time was given for the arrival of the 29-year-old Air Force veteran, but registration' lines were to close at 3:30 p.m. (EDT). Lato Registration Meredith docs not have to register today, although it was enrollment day for transfer students and he is a junior transfer from Jackson Stale college for Negroes. He could wait until Friday, the day for late registration, when classes would be under way and there would be less student activity on the campus. In contrast to the orderly registration of most of the uni versity's 5.500 students Wed nesday, there was a flurry of activity at the state capitol in Jackson. The state college board ar gued for five hours and then broke up at 2:30 a.m. (EDT) today without reaching a deci sion on whether to bar Mere dith from the university. Gov. Ross Barnett, who has direct ed state officials to go to jail rather than obey federal de segregation orders, said after the meeting, "We didn't reach a decision on anything." -PUBLISH WEEKLY Independence, Ore. - H.TI) -Mr. and Mrs. Dean W.

Air Force Unveils New Space Craft, X-20 'Dyna-Soar' Las Vegas WPP A plywood mockup of the Air Forces an swer to civilian space craft, the X20 Dyna-Soar, was un veiled today to the public. Billed unofficially as com bining the best features of the short-flight X15 research plane and the long-flying Mercury space capsules which cannot be controlled like air planes and must return to earth by parachute, the Dyna Soar and Its first six future pilots were presented at the 18lh annual convention of the Air Force association. Dyna-Soar is a delta-winged research vehicle designed to be boosted into outer space by a souped-up Titan III rocket, orbit the earth at speeds up to 18.000 miles an hour and then glide to a land ing at almost any airport under full control of the pilot. Unlike North American Aviation's X-15. whose re search flights from Edwards Air Force Base in southern California's desert do not last more than a few minutes, the Dyna-Soar will be able to re main in space as long as de sired. Manufactured by Boeing Company's Aerospace division in Seattle, the Dyna-Soar has Parks Commission Changes Meetings The Medford parks and rec reation commission has decid ed to change its regular meeting date back to the sec ond Wednesday of each month.

Leaders Disagree About Proposed Grades of Lumber Portland - WPH - There was disagreement in the Douglas Fir industry today over plans by the West Coast Lumber men's Association (WCLA) to change grades on lumber. G. Cleveland Edgctl. exec utive vice president of WCLA urged the industry to get be hind proposals for changes in standards. Edgctl said there was a risk of having ground rules for sale and manufacture of lumber "taken out of our hands." The WCLA has suggested changes which would result in kiln-dried lumber products manufactured in smaller sizes and green lumber man ufactured in oversizes. Out of Business Manufacturers of green lumber contend the changes would give dry-kiln mills a S7 per 1.000 feet margin in the market and would put many of them out of business. Much of the margin would come in freight rates. Producers of green lumber have formed a committee called CHAOS, Committee Against Chaos in Lumber Standards, Ken Rinke. its sec retary, said attorneys had warned proposed changes would be violation of Sher man Anti-Trust laws in that they discriminate against mills without dry kilns. Edgctt denied this and said WCLA was operating within the law and its responsibility to members in pushing for new standards. Willis Smith. Coos Head Lumber Co., said he was op posed to the changes "as are nearly 100 per cent of the green producers.'' Some 135 lumbermen at tended the meeting which ad journed without discussion of a resolution on the proposal or its opposition. i COMPETITIVE EXAMS Washington - WPH- The com I ptitive United States Civil Service Department Examina tion used in connection with i securing a nomination to a U S. military academy will be held Nov. 10. at 30 Oregon cities.

Backs Kennedy on ; Cuban Situation ! Troops May Be Used If Needed Washington-IUPP-Thc House Foreign Affairs committee to day unanimously approved a resolution to give President Kennedy almost unlimited congressional backing to deal with the Cuban situation. Following the lead of the Senate Foreign Relations and Armed Services committees, the House group supported the President to the extent of us ing troops if necessary to stop the spread of Communist in fluence in the Western Hemi sphere. The Senate, and perhaps the House too, was expected to adopt the fight-if-we-must res olution today. The Senate Foreign Rela tions and Armed Services committees unanimously ap proved the measure Wednes day. The House group quickly followed suit this morning at a closed-door meeting. Dangerous Aspect In its formal report, the Senate group said "the situa tion in Cuba should be taken seriously but not hysterical ly." It said the most dangerous aspect is the threat Cuba poses to nearby Latin Ameri can nations. A principal objective of the proposed resolution, the re port said, is to "prevent that threat from materializing through force or the threat of force." The resolution, which won the support of the 33 senators on the two Senate committees, would express the determina tion of the United Slates in use all necessary means "in cluding the use of arms" to re sist the spread of Cuban com munism in the Western Hemi sphere. It would also declare the determination of this nation to prevent creation in Cuba of an "eternally supported mili tary capability endangering the security of the United States." It would pledge the United States to work with the Organization of American States and with freedom-loving Cubans to support "the as pirations of the Cuban people for self determination." 30 Area People ill Camp Out About 30 area residents will participate in the Friday and Saturday activities before and after the official dedication of the new 250 mile section of the Winnemucca-to-the-Sea highway.

School accidents In Otegon In 1961, injuring 19,706 and killing 484 persons. As of Sept. 17 the 1062 record was slightly better than last year's, "but one bad week end can shoot us ahead," the governor said To Improve the slate's traf fic safety record, Hatfield said, "We must be more dili gent In enforcement. We must develop a militant attitude and give authority to law en forcement agencies to carry out the laws." He cited three recommen dations for new laws he made to the last legislature which failed to pass, and urged that residents "put pressure" on the next legislature to enact them. Proposed Legislation The proposed legislation In cluded: An implied consent law, providing that when a driver receives his license he gives implied consent for a police officer to give him a sobriety test at the scene of an acci dent. Seventy-five per cent of drivers now refuse to undergo such tests, the governor said. An arrest for probable cause law, allowing an officer to charge a driver with drunk driving if there is evidence that he was driving whil drunk. At present such a charge can be made only If the officer actually sees the individual driving while drunk. 3.

Perry felt approximately 35 acrct of ! land to the rear of the present county shop could be used. He felt the city would not ob ject to using some of Its adjoin ing land included In the 35 acres. Mrs. Gibbs said the annual i. Washington Said ! Preparing Full 56j Scale Aggression Attack Follows Stevenson Speech United Nations, N.Y.JUPH Tension between Cuba and the United States flared into the open in the General As sembly today with a Cuban charge that Washington is pre paring large-scale aggression against Fidel Castro's island. Cuban Ambassador Mario Garcia-Inchaustcgui took the assembly rostrum to level the charge as soon as Ambassador Adlai E. Stevenson had com pleted a major U.S. policy speech in the general debate. Stevenson had touched only briefly on the Cuban situa tion. Speaking of what he list ed as threats "in a dark and precarious world." he said: Carries on Campaign "The government of Cuba, with moral and material sup port from outside, carries on a campaign of subversion and vituperation against its neigh bors in the Western Hemi sphere." Garcia-Inchaustegui imme diately demanded the right of reply. The Cuban said the United States was '(violating our air space, infiltrating our country and sending mercenaries against our coasts." "The aggression of his gov ernment has destroyed the houses of our workers, dam aged our industry and killed thousands of our citizens, with bombs ... "We reject your statement as a means of covering up a new large scale aggression which your country is prepar ing against our country." Stop Tests , Stevenson, in his policy speech, renewed the U.S. chal lenge to Russia to stop nu clear tests and agree to dis armament under U.N. inspec tion. He disclosed that Russia has exploded almost twice as much nuclear energy as the United Stales in its tests. Stevenson argued for elec l tion of a strong secretary gen Icral with "full freedom and authority." The United States already has endorsed Acting secretary uenerai inani ior , the post. Stevenson urged the assem bly to put the United Nations on a sound financial basis. He asked for approval of an In ternational Court opinion that the organization's peace-keeping costs, such as in the Congo, : are subject to assessment on all members.
