University of Mississippi Officials Ordered Into Court Negro Refused Entry Despite Federal Order Meridian, Miss.-fflPD - Three University of Mississippi of ficials were ordered to ap pear in federal court today to face possible contempt ci tationj for refusing tu admit a Ncsro to the white-only institution. U. S. District Judge Sidney Mize Issued the order Thurs day r.W'.it at the request of the Justice Department when Janv.s H. Meredith was turn cd aw.iv from the university at Oxford amid shouts of "nigger, nigger" from stu dents. The order directed Chancel lor .Tnhn Davis Williams. Dec Arthur B. Lewis and Rcgistra Robert Byron Ellis to present themselves at a "show cause hearing before Mize. Oxford is about 150 miles northwest of Meridian. Gov. Ross Barnett was not included in the order although he flew to Oxford from Jack son Thursday to personally deny Meredith, 29-year -om Negro Air force veieran, an mission to the university de spite a federal court order Renraianls Board The state College Board which has the final say in uni versity admissions, earlier had given Barnett authority to renrosent the group in the Meredith case. . The Justice Department said, however, that "in our view. Governor Barnett's ac tions have no legal effect, we are proceeding against those named In the court's order whose responsibility in our opinion remains unaffected Dy the governor's action." The state, at the urging of Barnett who called for state officials to suffer Imprison ment rather than heed federal desegregation orders, had laid down a number of legal bar riers to Meredith's admission. But the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals at Hatticsburg wiped them all out with a blanket injunction. Barnett was waiting in an alumni building on the shady, 114 -year -old campus when Meredith drove up Thursday night in the company of sev eral deputy U.S. marshals. About 100 state troopers kept jeering students behind a chain fence and barricade. Maets Governor The group entered the building, at which time Mere dith told Barnett he wanted to enroll at the university. The governor told Meredith his application had been re jected. The Negro and the marshals then left the building and walked back to their car, again passing students chant ing "nigger, nigger," and "go home, nigger." Meredith stared straight ahead and seemed calm as the automobile drove away. Bar nett emerged minutes later and received a rousing cheer from the students. Quiet returned to the cam pus when Meredith and Bar nett left and the only major gathering was an orderly foot ball pep rally and street dance. Most of the state troop ers also were gone.

Combat Forces Ready for Attack In Argentina Buenos Aires fUPli Argen tina s grave military crisis flared anew today. Rival army groups deployed combat forces, and the government braced for an attack in Buenos Aires. A shaky cease fire negoti ated in the early morning hours collapsed when three top government generals who had agreed to step down to solve the crisis changed their minds. The War Ministry Building was evacuated and readied for attack. Rebel Gen. Juan C. Ongania, charging betrayal, started moving tanks into Buenos Aires' western sub urbs. Troops on Broad Front The government generals who reneged on earlier prom ises to resign or retire, Army Commander in Chief Gen. Juan C. Lorio, his chief of staff, Gen. Bernardino Labay ru, and War Secretary Gen. Jorge O. Cornejo Suravia, moved troops on a broad front against Ongama's defense po sitions at Campo de Mayo. Their forces were deployed along the 30-mile stretch be tween Buenos Aires and La Plata, to the south of the capital. There were reports that bridges were being blown in and around Berazalegui, midway between the two big cities. A rebel communique ac cused the army high com mand of "refusing" to accept the peace formula proposed earlier by President Jose M. Guido which had apparently ended the crisis. "Thcv will be defeated," the rebel communique said. Troop Return Ordarad Guido as commander in- chief of the armed forces or dered all belligerent troops to return lo their barracks short ly after noon. However, there was no indication they would obey the presidential com mand. Presidential Press Secretary Alejandro Ganccdo confirmed that Gens. Cornejo Saravia, Lorio and Labayru had failed lo leave their command posts as ordered by Guido. He said that Navy Secretary Rear Adin. Gaston C. Clement and Air Secretary Brig. Gen. Jorge Rojas Silveyra had of fered their resignations, ap parently because they were unable lo enforce Guido's peace terms, but said the pres ident had rejected them.

Mr. and Mrs. Raul Casans said they were "well treated and well fed" by their captors, who questioned them only once during their captivity. The Casanases said security authorities apologized when they were set free, saying their arrest was a "big mis take." Othars Expelled Two other newsmen arrest ed recently - British corre spondent John Bland, who was with the Casanases when they were picked up Sept. 2, and John Barnes a Briton who had been covering Cuba for Newsweek, were expelled from the country Saturday.

Kennedy Tells Pennsylvanians Nation Must Elect Progressive Congress Harrisburg, Pa. 'UPI Presi dent Kennedy, opening h i s campaign for more Democrats in Congress, said Thursday night the voters must decide whether the nation moves ahead or returns to what iie called the "do-nothing govern ment" of the Eisenhower ad ministration. Kennedy told a crowd of about 10,000 persons in a dirt floored livestock arena here that the 87th Congress had not "measured up to all that 1 had hoped." What is needed, he said, is a "progressive Congiess in short, a Democratic Congress." The President opened h i s formal fall effort to boost the House and Senate Democratic majorities at a $100-a-plate fund-raising dinner and tele vision effort to back the gu bernatorial candidacy of for mer Philadelphia Mayor Rich ardson Dilworth and reelec tion of Sen. Joseph Clark. Talks of Predecessor Speaking in the home state of his predecessor, former President Dwight D. Eisen hower, Kennedy did not men tion him by name. But he said that it was indeed a "cold day" when he took office in January, 1961. "The nation's engine was idling," he said. "Around the world the picture was even more dreary." "If the Democratic party is charged with disturbing the status quo, with stirring up the great interests and with daring to try something new. I intend to plead guilty." The dinner in the exhibition hall of the state farm show grounds and a speaking pro gram in the adjacent arena had the colorful air of a politi cal convention. Brass bands blared and groups of pretty girls in straw hats roamed the ! aisles. Will Try Again I The President promised that with more backers in Con gress, the adminls tration would enact such legislation as medical care for the aged and federal aid lo education, which failed to get through the 87th Congress. "More is at stake than what party controls the Congress and the various state govern ments," Kennedy said. "The American people on Nov. 6 must choose whether this na tion is to sail or anchor down to deadlock and drift." Upon arrival, he told an audience at the airport that i "we saw today in the House . . . a very clear indication ' of why this election is so im- j portant. 1 "We passed in the House by five votes an agricultural bill which will save this country nearly a half-billion dollars, as well as protect the economic rights of American agricul ture; and we lost in the House a bill of assistance to higher education, and three-fourths of the Republican party voted against it." fan : St- J" Far Fast, Efficitnt Sarvica -si Ship It LASME -- ra ar from Oakland, San Francisca, Los Angeles d Other California Points Call Jack Fitzgerald 773-7761 Gov.
