Path Of Orb
WASHINGTON (AP)-The Navy
said today the Vanguard satellite
launched from Cape Canaveral,
Fla., May 27, traveled 7,500 miles
into the South Atlantic instead of
going into orbit.
The 20-inch, 2114-pound sphere
and the 50-pound third stage of
the Vanguard rocket were intend
ed to, reach an altitude to 300 or
400 miles and then to go into or
bit.
Instead, the second stage lifted
the rocket to 3l8 miles, a naval
research laboratory report
showed.
The second stage engine failed
to cut off properly, causing the
rocket to fly with its nose at an
upward angle instead of parallel to
the earth.
The third stage, flying in a high
arc, fired at the wrong angle and
climbed to a peak altitude of 2,200
miles.
An impact , predictor device
showed that if the satellite sue
cessfully returned to earth it land
ed near the east coast of South
Africa, 7,500 miles from the
launching site. However, the lab
oratory was unable to determine
whether the sphere survived the
heat of its re-entry into the earth's
atmosphere, because radio sig
nals from it failed before that
point was reached.
The laboratory account of the
firing was made available after
the Baltimore Evening Sun report

Development
THE HAGUE. Netherlands (AP)
A U. S. congressman reported
today that the United States has
developed electronic equipment
which can use the moon to "tell
what is going on" on the entire
surface of the earth.
We can monitor the whole
world," Rep. James G. Fulton (R-
Pa) told newsmen after referring
publicly to the moon system at
the meeting here of the Interna
tional Astronautical Federation.
'This equipment now is being
installed," he declared. "It uses
the moon as an artificial satellite.
It is startling. It is a great break
through." Fulton hinted that the system
could detect instantaneously the
launching of intercontinental bal
listic missiles or nuclear explo
sions.
The moon reconnaissance sys
tem was mentioned briefly by
Rear Adm. John T. Hayward,
chief of naval research and de
velopment, in a congressional
hearing last April.
Fulton, a Republican member of
the House Committee for Astro
nautics and Exploration of Outer
Space, said the method works on
a principle of ion emission. Ions
are electrified atoms.
Without giving specific details
he implied the detection operates
by spotting ionization created by
such forces as explosions or rocket
launchings.
"It sees things back on earth.
he said. "It involves bouncing
waves off the moon. It is not
radar."
"I know we are first in having
this," he declared when asked
whether the Soviets might also

Questioned whether it could de

Bruce Tupper
New Hearing
Bruce E. Tupper, a Klamath In
dian sentenced for life in the rifle
slaying of his Indian companion,
has been granted a new trial.
Circuit Judge Frank B. Reid of!
Eugene handed down his order
right on the deadline. It arrived
in the Klamath County Courthouse
after normal business hours Wed
nesday, the last day it could have
been filed.
The Lane County judge, who
heard the original trial here last
May, gave no specific reason for
his order. It was based upon a
motion for a new trial made by
Tupper's attorneys, Glenn D.
Ramirez of Klamath Falls and
Joseph O. Stearns of Portland.
Ramirez said the defense motion
cited newly discovered evidence
and alleged errors in the original
trial.
Tupper, 28, was found guilty of
second degree murder last May 12
by a jury of seven men and five
women which deliberated for an
hour and 15 minutes at the end
of a seven-day trial. He subsequent
ly was sentenced lor life and sent
to the state penitentiary in Salem.
The state charged Tupper with
second degree murder in the slay
ing of Teresa Hunt, a 41-year-old
mother of four children, with
whom Tupper reportedly lived for
several months before the shoot
ing on the morning of January 15.
The defense motion for a new
trial was filed August 14. Rami
rez said Judge Reid has not yet
set a date lor retrial.

False Union
Vote Charged
By Teamster
WASHINGTON (AP) The man
Harold J. Gibbons defeated for
election as head of the hoodlum
infested St. Louis Teamsters Un
ion domain today called the vot
ing "as crooked as apything pos
sibly could be."
E. E. (Gene) Walla flung the
allegation in the Senate rackets
hearings. The husky Walla voiced
it on the heels of testimony that
doctored records had figured in
the seating of delegates from a
Tampa, Fla., Teamsters local to
cast the seven votes that clinched
Gibbons' election as president of
St. Louis Joint Council No. . 13.
Sen. John L. McClellan ID-

vestigating committee, interrupt
ed the testimony to say "I just
can't believe the rank - and file
members would condone the cor
ruption that has been shown and
the tactics that have been used
in controlling elections."
A prior witness, Robert L.
Lewis, who said he won out on
Walla's slate for election as the
council's recording secretary de
spite the disputed seven votes
against him, also charged the
election was rigged by Gibbons.
Lewis, secretary - treasurer of
the St. Louis Brewers & Malters

of the Walla slate was 70-69 until
Harry Karsh, head of the Tampa

U.S. Fleet May Retaliate
If Reds Carry Out Threat
WASHINGTON (AP) - Ameri
can officials said today a new
Peiping threat will weigh heavily
in any decision by President Ei
senhower on sending U. S. forces
against any Red Chinese invaders
in the Formosa Straits. , ,
The State Department was so
impressed by Peiping's statement
that it issued a hands-off warn
ing to the Chinese Communists
yesterday.
The United States is pledged by
treaty to defend Formosa and the
nearby Pescadores Islands, about
100 miles across the strait from
the China mainland.
Congress left it up to Eisenhow
er to decide whether any Red Chi
nese attack on Quemoy and Mat-
su, small Islands closer to the
mainland, was the start of an at
tack on Formosa and the Pesca
dores. It the President decided it was.
his next step could be to oppose
it with the U. S. 7th Fleet and oth
er American military power.
This, in part, is what Peiping
radio said, as Red gut.; pounded
Quemoy and Matsu in a continu
ing bombardment:
The Chinese peoples libera
tion army is determined to lib
erate the fatherland's territory
of Taiwan (Formosa) and the
coastal islands. ' . :.
The Red radio called on Nation
alist defenders of Quemoy to sur
render, saying' "the island is
doomed ... a landing is immi
nent." U. S. officials said (his is prob
ably the toughest such statement
yet made by the Red Chinese on
this highly inflammable subject.
There- was speculation on For
mosa that if the Reds really in
tended to invade the Quemoy area
they would not broadcast it in ad
vance.
However, if Eisenhower accept
ed the interpretation that the Reds
intend to try to take Quemoy as
step toward conquering For
mosa, it would lie within his dis
cretionunder the treaty and the
Congress-approved Formosa reso
lutionto order American forces
into action.
The 7th Fleet already is on
alert. It has been conducting war
exercises with Chiang s military
establishment, dramatizing U. s
support which Eisenhower and
Secretary of State Dulles have re-
emphasized during the past few
days.

High Court Delay
Slows Showdown
WASHINGTON (AP) The
highly charged Little Rock school
integration issue hung suspended
today after a Supreme Court de
cision to delay a showdown for at
least two weeks.
After hearing more than three
hours of arguments in extraordi
nary session yesterday, the nine
justices went behind closed doors
and decided to hold another hear
ing Sept 11.
At that time, the high court will
consider the basic question of
whether there should be a 24-year
delay in resuming racial mixing
of pupils at Little Rock's Central
High School.
There was some question as to
whether Central High will reopen
before the new arguments are
heard and the high court acts.
The hearing yesterday techni
cally was on a shortcr-rango
phase of the problem,
But It was the underlying issue
of racial integration in the public
schools and the role of Little
Rock as storm center of that four-
year-old controversy that focused
national attention on the dramatic
yet solemn proceedings in the
vaulted chamber.
The softly lighted room with its
burgundy drapes and marble col
umns was filled to its limited
capacity of 177 spectators, plus
lawyers and newsmen. Hundreds
of others waited in the corridors
outside, mostly in vain
Ranged on one side of the dis
pute were Thurgood Marshall, Ne
gro counsel lor the National Assn
for the Advancement of Colored
People, and J. Lee Rankin, mild-
mannered solicitor general of the
United States.
On the other side was Richard
C. Butler, gray-haired lawyer for
the Little Rock school board who
made his points in a slow Arkan
sas drawl.
Although the debate was carried
on for the most part in calm, dis
passionate tones, there loomed in
the background the anti-integra
tion mob violence in Little Rock
last year, and President Eisen
hower's use of federal troops to
enforce court-ordered integration
at Central High.
Marshall, opposing any delay in
readmitting seven Negro pupils to
the school, said the courts must
not give ground before that kind
of violence.
"You don't close the banks," he
told the justices. "You put the
robbers in lail.
But Butler warned "there would
be troops back in Little Rock to
maintain law and order unless
public school desegregation is de

lic schools in Arkansas as surely.
as if you planted bombs under
each school building and lighted
tne (uses one by one.
At another point, Butler brought
up Eisenhower's news conference
statement Wednesday about favor
ing a slower pace in integration
efforts.
"That is exactly the position the
Little Hock school board is tak
ing." Butler said.
However, the Justice Depart
ments Rankin fought the idea of
delay, saying the Little Rock
school board had failed to seek
either court action or the help of
local law enforcement agencies to
thwart troublemakers at Central
High.
It seems to me we are now at
the crossroads," Rankin said.
"The American people are en
titled to a definitive statement by
the Supreme Court as to whether
force and violence are grounds for
going backward a step."
Rankin's flat opposition to de
lay at Little Rock appeared to
conflict with Eisenhower's gener
al remark about a slower ap
proach to integration. But White
House press secretary James u.
Hagerty said there was no diver
gence of views. Hagerty said Ei
senhower specifically approved
the Justice Department argument
in advance.
Marshall and Butler differed
sharply on whether the Negro
pupils would suffer if they weren't
allowed into Central High.
Butler said they "would not ha
deprived of anything tangible"
ecause iney couio return to a Ne
gro school.
But Marshall contended that de
nial of immediate integration
would destroy the constitutional
rights of Negro children and be
even "more destructive of demo
cratic government."
After Butler appealed for Da.
tience and forbearance. Chief Jus
tice Warren said he believes every
member of the high court recog
nizes "the very great problem
your school board has."
But, Warren asked, can wa
afford to defer a program of this
Kind merely because there are
elements in a community that will
commit violence to prevent it
from going into effect?"

Faubus Holds
Bills Blocking
Integration
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP)
Gov. Orval Faubus today held a
fistful of powerful bills he believes
he can drop on the table, one by
one, to block forcible integration
ot schools.
Apparently that's the way he
plans to use the bills, if necessary.
A special session of the Arkan
sas Legislature yesterday whipped
through final passage the six bills
in Faubus' anti-integration pro
gram. The question of whether the fed
eral government will move to in
tegrate Little Rock schools next
month remains in abeyance. The
U.S. Supreme Court heard argu
ments in the Little Rock case
yesterday but put off a decision
for two weeks.
Faubus' bills will not be re
leased by the Legislature until he
calls for them. He said he hadn't
decided when this wor.ld be.
First, the governor said, he
must ftpnirip whpthpr tn sitfn n
joint legislative resolution extend.
ing the special session until Jan. ,
10 two days before the start of
the regular biennial term of the
Legislature.
Faubus said he would make this
decision today.
The legislators agreed to go
home at noon today but, with
Faubus' consent they will be on a
standby basis. Technically the spe
cial session will be in recess and
subject to recall at a moment's
notice.
If the Legislature delivered the
anti-integration bills to Faubus, he
would have to sign them in five
days or they would die. However,
as Faubus pointed out, the bills
could be retained by the secre
taries of the House and Senate
until Jan. 10 the actual end of
the special session if it is extend
ed. That would give him until
Jan. 15 to act.
Among other things the anti-in
tegration measures call for clos
ing a school faced with federally
ordered integration. Such a school
could be leased as a private cor
poration and students' tuition
would be paid fo' them.
At a news conference. Faubus
declined comment on develop
ments in the Little Rock case dur
ing yesterday s Supreme Court
session.
He indicated that ho would be in
no hurry to sign the anti-integration
measures until he thought he
needed them.
