Army Shows

States Army yesterday took the
wraps off a Jupiter Missile nose
cone the size of an automobile,
scarred by a 1,500-mile flight

many types.

FOR CENTRAL DEVELOPMENT:
Russell Urges New Education Board

I

Creation of a central develop-
ment agency for higher education'
in Michigan was urged in July by
John Dale Russell.
The director of the higher edu-
cation study committee of the
Michigan Legislature proposed that
the agency play a major policy
role in the developimeht of higher
education.>
Russell also suggested:

UNITED NATIONS (9')-United'
Nations Secretary General Dag
Hammarskjold was reported to-
night to have the consent of the
United Arab Republic, Lebanon
and Jordan to set up UN Peace
Representatives in their countries.
Details of the plan for peace
in the Mideast were not known but
informed sources said it would call
for establishment of what has
been termed a UN presence in each
of the countries.
One source said the UAR seg-
ment ofsthegroup would be sta-

'in Egypt.r
United Nations officials declined
commenton the report. Lebanon's
Foreign Minister Charles Malik,
who is the new UN General As-
sembly President, said he had not
had a chance to discuss the situa-
tion with Hammarskjold since the
UN chief returned from his Mid-
east peace mission.
Hammarskjold plans to report
to the Assembly on his plan be-
fore Sept. 30.
The Secretary-General's associ-
ates said the idea of establishing
UN peace representatives in Leb-

Six citizens of Little Rock formed
a corporation yesterday to operate
private schools-an apparent fol-
lowup to Governor Orval E. Fau-
bus' plans to make private institu-
tions'ofrthe city's four high schools.
Three more schools in Virginia
faced apparent closing on orders
of federal judges favoring inte-
gration. One school already has
been closed because of a state
law against integration.
Still another Virginia school
area-this one at Norfolk-faced
the integration question yesterday.
United States District Court Judge
Walter E. Hoffman called a special
session to consider a request by
the Norfolk School Board to knock
out a state injunction against local
assignment of pupils.
The "Little Rock Private School
Corp." became a business when a
circuit judge signed corporation
papers. Gov. Faubus, who ordered
the schools closed to prevent
forced integration, had no com-
ment on the action.
It could not be learned whether
the group will move immediately
to open private classrooms in Little
Rock's high schools. However, ob-
servers expect the corporation to
wait until after a special referen-
dum Sept. 27 before taking any
action.

Quemoy Hi
By Artille'ry
TAIPEI, Formosa (M)-The Chi-
nese Communists opened up on'
Quemoy with heavy artillery and
deep-penetration shells yesterday
in what appeared to be a new
attempt to smash Nationalist gun
positions.
Previous heavy shellings were
aimed at blasting supply vessels
coming ashore at Quemoy or at'
Nationalist troops.
By Nationalist count, the Reds
dropped in 8,333 shells on the Na-
tionalist offshore islands up to 6
p.m. The last 52-minute bombard-
ment of more than 1,200 shells was
aimed at Quemoy. Other targets
were Little Quemoy and the Tan
Islets.
The Nationalist military infor-
mation service said, meanwhile,
that Tuesday's heavy bombard-
ment of Quemoy killed 11 civilians
and wounded 22 others, 9 seriously.
The bombardment did not halt
the Nationalists' trickle of supplies
to Quemoy. Two LSTs (Landing
Ship, Tank) unloaded cargo yes-
terday and backed off the beach
undamaged.

Three-Year Settlement Includes
Salary Raises, Increased Pensions
DETROIT OP)-The United Auto Workers and the Ford Motor
Co. agreed yesterday on a new three-year contract several hours
after some 98,000 workers walked off their jobs in plants across the
nation.
Announcing the settlement, the bargainers said in a joint state-
ment that the contract was "fair to workers, the company and the.
American public."
UAW President Walter Reuther said the union would get "atop
the strike situation as quickly as we can" but explained that local
problems would have to be settled'
in certain plants before the walk-
out is .ended completely.

Pushes Query
Lodge decided to push the query
after State Controller James W.
Miller testified he could see noth-
.ing wrong with honoring a requesi-
tion by Judge Dethmers for the
three cars.
Dethmers wrote Miller last Nov.
29 that he was authorized by court
resolution to request cars for Jus-
tices Eugene F. Black, John D.
Voelker and Talbot Smith to use
in performance of official duties.
Asks for Details
The senator asked for details
concerning the specific use of the
three cars.
Miller said he didn't have any,
and considered it sufficient to rely
on certifications provided monthly'
by the three justices and Dethmers

After some heated exchanges,
Miller received Sen. Lodge's prom-
ise to supply him with the sub-
stance of a dozen or so complaints

Against Hoffa
WASHINGTON () - Monitors
of the scandal-scarred Teamsters
Union asked. the United States
District Court yesterday to enforce
their orders for a union house-
cleaning.
They also moved to block the
plans of James R. Hoffa, union
president, to hold a convention
next February, get the present
slate of officers re-elected and
push the monitors out of the pic-
ture.'
In a petition filed with Federal
Judge F. Dickinson Letts, it was
contended that reforms inside the
Teamsters Union haven't pro-

pense with the monitors.

the Pacific during the summer
series of atomic tests near 'John-

The Redstone tests, part of the
Atomic Energy Commission's "Pro-

nuclear explosions about 50 miles
above the ocean and were con-
sidered highly successful.
Fires on Time
The 63-foot Redstone shot sky-

orange flame and smoke. One of
Redstone's reliability characteris-

The huge rocket twisted toward

climb and disappeared in about
two minutes when engine burnout
occurred.
At that point is started the bal-
