U OF OREGON LIBRARY EUGENE, OHE. COa? Faubus Stands Fast On Troop Charges ! LITTLE ROCK. Ark; (fl-Gov, Orval Faubus today faced a wave of denials some in bitter lan guage to his accusation that male soldiers remained in girls' dressing rooms when the students changed to gym clothes at now integrated Central High School. 1 The White House, the Army and school authorities said there is no truth to the charges. The- White House labeled the claim "completely vulgar" and "completely untrue. The .Army in strong terms de nied its troops had invaded the dressing rooms. A school official termed Fau bus' claim "ridiculous." The governor, told last night of White House reaction, shot back this reply: "What does the White House know about it 2,000 miles away? We'll prove it when the time comes." In The- By FRANK JENKINS Everybody's talking today about the Russian earth satellite "arti ficial moon" seems to be a fav orite term for it. What is it like? How does it work? What are its potentials in the way of danger to us? What is it like? Well, if you could see it, it would look something like an ex aggerated basketball. It's about two feet in diameter. It weighs about 18S pounds approximately the weight of a muscular halfback on a football team. It's filled with complicated sens ing and communications instru ments that send out signals some what like radio messages. These signals are in code and the Rus sian scientists, whi, ...low the code, can read them. Its job is to tell what the world looks like from up there. How docs it work? That's a bit technical. When it reaches a point out in outer space where centrifugal force (the force that impels a thing outward from a center of rotation) balances the gravity pull of the earth, it stays put and rotates around the earth in an orbit. If it SLOWS DOWN too much, the pull of gravity will yank it back earthward. That will be the end of that particular satellite. Let's try to simplify it. It works just like the little ball' 1n a roulette wheel. As ' long "as the wheel spins fast enough the little ball stays on the outside. When the wheel slows down, the little ball drops into the slot that tells whether you win or lose. What are its potentialities of danger to us? That is quite simple. The dan ger is that this satellite (and its duplicates to be launched later) may teach the .Russians how to make an accurate guided missile BEFORE WE LEARN HOW TO MAKE ONE. An accurate guided missile is a jigger that can be aimed at a target thousands of miles away and will score a bull's eye a reasonable number of times. The missile, of course, will carry an atom or hydrogen bomb. That would be BAD. The nation that gets such a mis sile FIRST in adequate quantities can destroy the rest of the world. What to do about it? Well, the quickie way would be for us to perfect an ANTI-MISSILE missile that would intercept the Russian missiles before they get here and destroy" them high up in the skies. There have been hints that wc are working on such a defense weapon and may be able to make it work. All this brings up a rugged thought. MAYBE IN THE FLUSH YEARS OF THE RECENT PAST WE HAVE BEEN DEVOTING MORE ATTENTION TO ROU LETTE WHEELS AND SUCH THAN TO PURE SCIENCE. If so- Maybe we've let the Russkies! get ahead of us. This Russian satellite business brings home to us the shocking truth that life isn't all beer and skittles. But Let's not lose our nerve. Let's not lose faith in America. If we'll buckle down to business and cut out the waste and the fluff and the politics and the tom myrot, we can say with Annie Oakley in her song in Annie Get Your Gun: "Anything They Can Do We Can DO BETTER." Guns Found By Raiders AMMAN. Jordan I A govern-1 ment spokesman reported today that Jordan security forces seized a "big quantity" of Czech arms ! near Huwarth village, in the! Nablus district of Jordan-occupied i Palestine. Presumably the arms came: from Syria, which is being sup plied by Czechoslovakia and the' Soviet Union. Nablus is a center! ol discontented Palestinians and' Arab refugee from Israel. I A number of Central High girls said they knew nothing about any such trespass into the dressing rooms. Faubus said his information came from parents. Troops, sometimes 101st, Air borne Division paratroopers and at other times Arkansas National Guardsmen under federal control, have protected the nine Negro students inside the building ever since the school was integrated by soldiers Sept. 25. They accompany the Negroes when they move from class to class but remain outside class room doors. The school and campus neigh borhood were quiet yesterday. No crowds gathered, no students heckled the Negroes when they entered, and all appeared calm in the corridors. Faubus' charges were made yesterday in a letter to Maj; Gen, Edwin A. Walker, commanding the military units at the school and the reserves nearby. The gov ernor made the letter public. The general returned the letter unopened. James t. Hagerty, presidential press secretary, said. Walker did so, Hagerty said, be cause it was addressed to "the commander of the occupation forces." Walker . issued a statement say ing the Army and the school staff had received no complaint and that "the soldiers . . . are pre cluded by orders from activities which might be subject to criti cism as described by the gover nor." Army Secretary Wilber Brucker said in Washington that the letter "has all the earmarks of despera tion and is an unworthy attempt to defame our American soldiers. , . ." The governor, in making his charge, suggested that the White House send in a detachment of WACs if it thinks such close pro tection of the six Negro girls is necessary. The deadlock between President Eisenhower and Faubus con tinued. The President maintains that Faubus has not given firm assurance that he will enforce in tegration if troops are removed. Faubus says he will not give up the prerogatives of Arkansas' chief executive. The Arkansas Republican Exec utive Committee, meeting here yesterday, endorsed Eisenhower's action "in enforcing order and the law of the land in the Little Rock situation." I. Lee Potter, special assistant for the South to National GOP Chairman Meade Alcorn, said the racial troubles here would not harm the party greatly. There have been a few detec tions and the few who have left the party in the South were not of great stature in it," he1 told the state party leaders. "I do not for see anv net loss to the party in the South." This was a reply to Republican State Rep. F. A. (Pat) Teague, who said that as a result of the integration struggle, "the Repub licans had just as well write off the South for the next 50 years." Weather FORECAST Kluniuth .

FBI I (Continued on Pait Four) jjtali gillie Price Five Cent 14 Page Speedy Computation Of Sputnik Orbit Expected WASHINGTON W Reports of additional sightings of the Rus- sian-s pawned earth satellite raised hopes today that U.S. sci entists might speed up the com puting of its precise orbit. The latest observations showed the satellite was circling the globe right on schedule at a speed of 18,000 miles an hour, although one conflicting set of unofficial calcu lations showed its speed had dropped to 15.500, possibly indi cating the ball might drop from its orbit. Radio reception was interrupted at times last night from the Rus sian globe, dubbed "Sputnik" by Soviet authorities. It was launched last Friday. American experts had hoped last night to obtain, by electronic computation, such detailed orbit date as the' exact path of the sphere, its location in outer space and possibly its precise shape. That information had been ex pected from data fed into a giant electronic computer at the Smith sonian Astrophysical Observatory at Cambridge, Mass. However, Dr. Fred L. Whipple, observatory director, said the ma chine did not come up with the expected material because of suf ficient or inaccurate data. The results still were close enough, he said, to track the or bit within one minute and one de gree. The electronic calculations were based on visual sightings in Alas ka and Australia. The report that the baby moon appeared to be slowing down came from scientists at Rensse laer Polytechnic Institute last night. Dr. Robert Fleischer, head of the observatory at Grafton, N. Y.. said calculations there showed the satellite was taking lOu minutes to circle the earth about four minutes longer than before. But that report was largely dis counted by other late information. including a report that the satel lite's pulsating radio signal had been picked up at the Blossom Point, Md., mimtrack station at about 11:32 p.m., right on sched ule. Meanwhile," there were these other developments: 1. A Russian' scientist visiting in the United States said he be lieved the satellite was reporting atmospheric temperatures by ra dio with the length of the "beep" signal as a code. A. A.

He is known to the public by that name only. He was homeless and friendless when he became ill. His father is in prison for murdering his mother. Comedian Jerry Lewis heard of an appeal for cards to ease the boy's loneliness. He decided "Lit tle Boy Blue" ought to have more than cards for his birthday and the idea snowballed.

And it's possible the first Sputnik to go -aloft was the more complex one. Now Dr. Blagonravov says he thinks the moon is measuring temperatures in space. Earlier a Russian scientist in Moscow said it was counting hits by meteors in space. It would have to radio such in formation back in code. U.

Dr. Lloyd Berkner, vice chair man of the International Commit tee for the International Geophy sical Year, said the Russian sat ellite indicates the Soviets may have the capability of sending a ballistic missile to New York if they can aim it accurately. The problem of visual observa tion of the satellite is complicated by the fact that actually there are two satellites the regular sphere and the rocket used to launch the globe into its orbit. The Russians have said the rocket is flying through space in about the same orbit as the Sput nik, though about 620 miles away from the satellite. They said that distance will change gradually. Dr. Whipple said at Cambridge that he does not believe the ac tual satellite itself has been seen. He said that from all indications the earlier observations in Alaska and Australia those which fig ured in the unsuccessful electronic computations were of the rock ct section rather than the satcllitr Estimates as to the possible life of the satellite have ranged from a few days to many years. Whip ple said, however, there had been no indication the satellite is chang ing direction. I think we can say the satellite definitely : will stay up more than three weeks," he added. Interruption in radio reception from the sphere was reported at various times last night both in Cambridge and at the Naval Re search Laboratory in Washington. Hut the NKL, reported picking up the signals at about the time they were inaudible in Cambridge. A Cambridge spokesman said the interruption could be due to atmospheric conditions, failure of the satellite's batteries or mechan ical failure. The radio signals have per plexed many U.S. observers, and Blagonravov s statement that the beeps might be transmitting temperatures was the first Soviet statement which offered any clari fication of variations in the radio signal. 1 ; . 1 lie Russian scientist was In this country at the time of -the launching, and first said only a test vehicle without instruments was launched.

In an interview in Moscow Yes terday with James Reston, Wash ington bureau chief of the New York Times who is visiting the Soviet capital, Khrushchev said an agreement on peaceful coexist ence would remove any problem 01 controlling new scientific de vices. 'The Soviet Communist party leader gave no indication, how ever, that the Moscow regime was prepared to modify the political or disarmament proposals pre viously rejected by the United States," Reston reported. 'On the contrary, he was sharp ly critical of United States policy in the Middle East and Germany, charged that Secretary of State Dulles was trying to drive Turkey into war with Syria, and asserted that Chancellor Konrad Adenauer was following a Hitlerite policy in West Germany." Khrushchev said Moscow was amending ils disarmament pro posals to provide for inspection of rocket-launching- sites. He ex plained that planes are "in de cline" as a weapon, that bombers lack height and speed for modern combat and are ' vulnerable to rocket attack, and that fighter planes move so fast they are not effective in air-to-air combat. Before a "reasonable agree ment" can be reached between the Soviet Union and the United Stales, Khrushchev said, the West must concede that Russia. China and other states exist as Socialist (Communist) stales and must stop basing its policy "on the theory that some internal upheaval Is go ing to distroy these states. Khrushchev continued that the Soviet Union recognizes the exist ence of capitalist stales with a different philosophy. It is "ready for peaceful competition with these states in all fields, he added, and if both sides approach each other as equals there is not a sin gle question in the world that could not be solved." The interview took place In Khrushchev's private office on the fifth floor of the headquarters of the Communist Party Central Committee. The party boss, using an interpreter, read prepared statements on a list of topics sub mitted to him in advance, then answered supplementary ques tions put to him by Reston on each topic. Khrushchev charged that the United States is responsible for all troubles between it and the Soviet Union because it is trying to ne gotiate as if the United States is strong and Russia it weak. The Soviet leader said his toiin try has every kind of rocket re quired in modern war interconti nental, intermediate and short- range for front-line use. He said the Soviet arsenal was completely adequate for the country's de- defense; "His recital of Soviet power," Reston wrote, "also made it clear that the Soviet Union was not pre pared to discuss arms limitation from a position of weakness. He seemed to be saying: we are an xious to limit arms of all kinds hut we want the world to know that we have them." Khrushchev added that he did not imply the Soviet Union is ahead in the development of all these weapons.. He explained that Oil Car Used To Flee Reds VIENNA (f)-Polie today told the story of a Czech family that proved too slippery for their coun try's Communist rulers. Hoping to get to America, 43-year-old Anlonin Liska and his wife Jarmila took their children, 9 and S. and slipped into one of the empty oil tank cars that is sent to Austria regularly to pick up the oil that Russia exacts as reparations. They brought along old military gas masks in case the car's air was bad and a large nylon sack of clothes and food. After a 36-hour trip, they ar rived safely in Austria Sunday, completely covered with oil from the residue in the tank. 'Manhattan' Project Urged To Speed Up WASHINGTON in Sen. Mans field (D-Montl urged Tuesday that Congress set up "a Manhattan type project" to direct the mulli-billion-dollar race with Soviet Rus sia in the field of missiles and earth satellites. "We need the same type of co ordination and concentration of our best scientists and experts as developed our initial atomic bomb," Mansfield, assistant Dem ocratic Senate leader, said in an inlerview. The "Manhattan Project" was the code name given during World War II to the program which de veloped Ihe atomic bomb. Mansfield said a similar organi zation in the missile-satellite lield "would permit Congress to ap propriate funds to a single agency which would have the .necessary flexibility in pushing ahead. "I am told that we have wasted hundreds of millions of dollars through out present programs of separate Army, Navy and Air Force projects fur attempted de velopment of long range missiles," Mansfield said. "There is loo much Inter-service rivalry now in thest lield. It has the Soviets might be ahead on one thing today, but the United States would have it tomorrow and vice versa. He termed such comDetition harmful and said the Soviets did not want it, that they want peace. Knrusnchev made these ad ditional points: The Soviet Union Is ready to disband" all its armies if other will do the same, keeping "a few men as a police force to keeo or der." There are military circles in the United States that do not want peace, that benefit from war, and this is also true of ruling circle in West Germany. the Impression has grown among the Soviet people that the United States does not want a dis armament agreement. He believes in the sincerity of President Ei senhower and of Harold Stassen, the U.S. disarmament adviser, but there are some people for example, Secretary of State Dul leswho do not want an agree ment. U.S: Seeks New Disarm Plan Talks UNITED NATIONS. N.Y Wt - The United States and Its allies today planned to seek speedy dis cussion of their new disarmament plan as the U.N. Assembly's chief Political Committee moved into action. The Western delegates were ex pected to put the resolution be fore the committee tomorrow and to seek immediate discussion of it. Indian Delegate V. K. Krishna Menon, meanwhile, delayed - un veiling his own rival arms plan. which it had been expected would be outlined in policy speech today to the Assembly. i An Indian spokesman Said Men on's resolution had been held back until tomorrow. He added that In dian delegates will confer tonight with U.S. disarmament negotiator Harold E. Stassen in an attempt to bring the U.S. and Indian arm views closer together. The Indian proposal, like com panion schemes put forth by Rum sia and Japan, call for suspen sion of all nuclear test subject to inspection but prior to actual dis armament. 1 The Western plan specifies u pension of nuclear test only after agreement is reached to (top- t) intf : atomic maie-rial for weannru. - l redmA) armed -forces and evly a comprehensive system of inspec tion. . ? The Western proposals include setting up an inspection system lo insure that sending rocket through outer space would be for peaceful and scientific purpose only. The Uniled .Slates acknowledged it is studying what possible effect the launching of the Soviet space satellite will have on the disarma ment picture and said it no doubt would have some proposals to make on that score in the future.. Elsewhere in the U.N.: Syrian Foreign Minister Salah Bilar charged in a heated speech before the . Assembly that the United States had engineered sub versive activities in Syria and sent the 6th Fleet to nearby waters to . try to bring the Arab state under American domination. Bitar ' denied the U.S. charge that shipment of Soviet arms lo Syria menaced her neighbors. He declared Syria bought the Red arms for defense against Israel, which he charged had received quantities of arms from the West. A U.S. statement to newsmen declared that the Syrian minis ter "saw fit to omit all mention of the leadership which the United States took less than a year ago in opposition to the invasion of Egypt." COMMUNISTS SPEAK NEW YORK (UP) The Soviet satellite now circling the earth represents both a "moment of grandeur" and a signal for Amer ica to change its foreign policy, according to the first published comment of the United States Communist Party. Space Missile resulted in overlapping, . duplica tion, waste and inefficiency." Mansfield injected his idea into a growing congressional clamor arising from Ihe Russian success in launching the first man-mad moon. Several congress members hav urged inquiries. Sen. Ervin iD-NC) urged an Immediate public hearing by th Senate Armed Service Committee. Ervin protested "silence from the While House and the admin istration" In a telegram to Chair man Russell (D-Ga) of the Senate Military Committee urging the in quiry. Russell, in Winder, Ga., prev iously had announced that he had asked the Defense Preparedness Subcommittee, headed by Sen. Lyndon Johnson (D-Tex), to con duct a staff inquiry into why this country apparently has dropped behind Russia in development of satellites and intercontinental mis siles. ' Previously, Sens. Symington ID Mo) and Smathers (D-Fla) also had urged a full study by th Senate Armed Services Committee.
