The barge trip was similar to Ihe one made by wagon trams ion years ago. Only this time, a con verted LST served as the barge instead of the makeshift rafts which the pioneers used The train was unloaded from ihe barge early today and wagon master Tes Sirpa got the tram bark on the road. Ivan Hover, who is news lirec tor, estimated that - J'j million persons came to see the wagon (rain on its trip across the plains dom Independence, Mo. He said Ihe biggest crowds were the es- timated 30.000 at Lawrence, Kan., and the 12.000 at Scotts Bluff. Neb. The train is carrying 40.000 pieces of mail weighing 500 pounds. Sale, of the stamps and mail covers has helped finance the trip. Booklets telling oi the wagon train also were sold. Sirpa said that there had been no traffic accidents involving the wagons on the long trip some times on crowded highways. He said this was due to Sheriff's De puty Gail Carnine of Douglas County and others who "rode point" ahead and behind the train to flag down traffic. The Pendleton wagon, the rear wagon on the train, carried a flashing red light during the latter part of the trip. It was loaned by the Idaho State Patrol. Sirpa was proud too that he was tinishing the trip with all but two ol the original members of Ihe train and with all but three of the original draft animals Sirpa said he hoped that the On to Oregon Cavalcade management could see its way to clear to do nate the animals to the drivers of the wagons The train will spend tonight at Hillsboro.

(AP) -i Segregationists rounded up sup port today (or a rally on the slate capitol lawn to ask Gov. Orval E. Faubus to "do something" about impending integration of two Lit tle Rock white high schools. The schools are to open Wednesday. Margaret Jackson, president ol the League of Central High Moth ers, said she had had "dozens of calls from people wanting to know what could be done to stop integration. "So in response to these." she said, "we are inviting every paid otic citizen to meet us on the state capitol grounds to pay tribute to son to anticipate anything else." The school board has assigned three Negroes lo Central and three to Hall high. It used a court-approved pupil placement law to keep out some 55 other Negroes who applied to' attend the white schools. Support far another last-minute segregationist maneuver was not evident. A boycott of Main Street stores began Monday. Amis Guth- ridge, attorney for the segre gationist Capital Citizens Council, called for the "buyer's strike." things like the McKay Dam," Skelton said. This was a reference to Neu- berger's proposal that Green Pet er Dam be named McKay Dam to honor the late former Oregon governor and secretary of the In terior Douglas McKay. Turning to Hatfield. Skelton said he was asking Neuberger to look into Hatfield's use of a National Guard plane for a trip to the Gov ernor's conference at Puerto Rico. Skelton said he had sent this telegram to Neuberger: "Press says Governor Long of Louisiana will have to pay for un authorized use of a National Guard plane. Will you check and see if Hatfield use authorized? Who paid for the trip to Puerto Rico?" Skelton said Hatfield had com plained that the budget was too small. "How can he take a retinue of 10 people to Puerto Rico on such a budget?" Skelton asked. (Meanwhile at Salem, Travis Cross. Hatfield's press aid. said that the National Guard Bureau at the Pentagon had authorized Hatfield's transportation. Cross said that expenses of six of the party were paid in Puerto Rico by the Commonwealth of Rico, and that all others in the party paid their own expenses.) that we need and want his con- tinued leadership in our fight against federal dictatorship. Faubus has remained silent on his plans to take a hand against the impending desegregation. But he has said he does have plans. The governor stopped integration in the high schools last fall by closing them. But the law he used has been struck down by federal court. The Little Rock school board is sued a statement saying it was confident "the people of Little Rock will accept this challenge to resume the peaceful operation of ionists Muster Support its high schools. There is no rea- charging that Main Street mer. chants were helping Negro lead ers to obtain integration. 1 But spot checks of stores showed plenty of customers and chamber of commerce officials ignored the threat. Guthridge also urged persons not to patronize firms which had Negro employes. The segregationist leader said he opposed violence at the school openings such as that which oc curred at Central in 1957 when nine Negroes entered. Federal troops restored order then. Aircraft Engine Research Dropped By U.S. Air Force . WASHINGTON (AP) The Air Force has canceled a MO-million-dollar program for an advanced aircraft engine using high-energy chemical fuel. It appeared to be another step in the switch from manned air craft to rocket missiles as the chief instrument of modern war fare. The Defense Department has been under heavy criticism for continuing development of expen sive new manned aircralt pro. grams instead of concentrating on missiles. The contract canceled Monday was for development of the Gen eral Electric Co.'s J93-5 engine. The action also knocks out of operation a new 4S-million dollar chemical plant built by the Olin Mathieson Chemical Corp. near Buffalo, ,N.Y.. which was to pro duce the fuel. OUTSTANDING ACCEPTANCE FOR THE CAR THAT STANDS OUT MRK" ' The ,J93-5 engin'. was an im proved version of the J93-3. Both engines were slated for the B70 bomber and the F108 Rapier fight er-interceptor, these planes are designed to fly 2.000 miles an hour at altitudes of 70.000 feet. An Air Force spokesman said the prototypes of these planes will not be affected by the cancella tion. They will use the earlier J93- 3 engine and still attain the planned speeds, he said. tne advanced turbo-jet engine had an afterburner that would use boron fuel to give additional bursts of speed. Boron is a non metallic chemical element. The F108 is to be completed in I960, with the B70 slated for pro duction 18 months later. An informed official, who re fused to be quoted by name, said he believed the B70 and F108 would never get beyond the proto type stage and would never go into production. The cangue, a heavy wooden col lar or yoke worn around the neck formerly was used as a punish ment for convicts in China.

Cute Songs Help Connie Keep Up Pace By BOB THOMAS HOLLYWOOD f API A rare lemale amid leaders of today's re cord market is Connie Francon- era. better know to teen-agers as Connie Francis. ' ' - , The pert, dark-haired 20-year- old -from Newark, N.J., is virtual- Ijf'the only female singer who can sepre with a million-seller these days her current "You're Gonna Miss me" appears headed for her fourth gold record. How does she succeed in this man's or boy's world? "Because I sing cute songs." sne expiamea. Koek n roll is a masculine kind of music. "The mistake that many girl singers have made is trying to compete with the men. I haven't done that. "Another reason why the estab lished singers like Patti Page and Teresa Brewer and Joni James haven't been able to hit in the pop field now is . teen age identification. The teen-agers can't identify with some singer in her 30s or even 30s. They want to hear someone their own age." ' At 20, Connie realizes that she is in jeopardy. But she is planning for the future. She said that she isn't touch ing a cent of her record royalties seven million discs come lo quite a figure. They all go into a trust fund. Connie was here to tape a TV show with Roy Rogers and Dale Evans which will appear next month. She's a petite girl, but she admitted there was a time when she wasn't so. "When I was 12. I was 4 feet 11 and weighed 13S pounds," she re called. "I played the accordion then, and it was good to hide behind. "I appeared on Arthur God Ley's Talent Scouts Show one Christmas and decided I might doi n better if I sang as well as played. I wasn't very good. I got a week's engagement on his morning show, and he suggested I should develop my singing more." So she shed the accordion and 37 pounds as well, all in two months.
