A beach "walk-in" is compar- able to the sit-in at lunch counters and restaurants. The action occured at the New- port Beach Club on Portage Lake near Dexter. About forty members of the local picketing group plan- ned and participated in the walk- No Incident The effort was without incident, and the nine Negroes in the walk- in group were admitted to the beach. Some 1500-2000 people at- nd on an average July Sunday. The group had previously ne- gotiated with the owners of the beach, Mr. and Mrs. Michael Chrisovan, on several occasions and had been in contact with them by phone on Saturday. Sev-I eral "test-cases" had been run to determine whether it was the policy of the owners to admit Ne- groes. Legality Questioned The group felt the policy of the beach was contrary to the Diggs Act, a Michigan law forbidding discrimination in various publicly- used establishments. Among those establishments named in the Act are beaches operated on a non- member basis. At a meeting on Friday, the, group decided that a course of non-violent direct action was ap- propriate. Rehearsal of procedure was carried out by members and methods of minimizing possible incidents were discussed.

The U.S. Dismisses Proposal For Pact with Red China WASHINGTON OP) - A Red Chinese proposal for a peace, non- aggression and non-nuclear pact for the Asian-Pacific area got a fast brushoff from the United States yesterday as a "meaningless propa- ganda gesture." Premier Chou En-Lai made the proposal at a reception at the Swiss embassy in Peiping. The Red China radio quoted Chou as saying: "We advocate the the countries in Asia and around the Pacific including the United States of America, conclude a peace pact of mu- tual non-aggression and turn the whole of this area into a nuclear weapon free area. "This Is of course a direction along which efforts are to be made for a long time to come, but we will exert unremitting efforts for this." I In tossing aside Chou En-tai's -David Giltrow erformed a peaceful "walk-in," rotests, at a nearby beach Sun- nd white students, entered the f little difficulty, and no major column of some twenty Negroes and whites proceeded through to the beach after paying the rer quired admittance price. Few Surprised Few people gave evidence of surprise, though several young couples and a family requested their money be refunded, the own- ers reported. The picnic area ajoining the beach and the beach were about eighty per cent of ca- pacity when the walk-in took place. The group remained for three hours. Asked about his attitude to- ward the appearance of Negroes, a regular patron from Livonia commented that he hadn't made up his mind whether or not to bring his family back. Several' teenaged boys from Detroit felt they would not hesitate to return in the future. Mr. Crisovan stated, "I want complete understanding that my rules will be for both whites and Negroes." Asked to define what his rules were, he said that they were rules of decent behavior and drunkeness. Spokesman for the picketing group, Jack Ladinsky, Grad, said, "We're very pleased' with the results of the action and hope that it's a continuing policy." Southerners A rres ted PETERSBURG, Va. R)--A mass renewal of Negro sit-in demon- strations brought 27 arrests here yesterday. One of those arrested was a cAain store official who exchanged blows with a Negro demonstra- tor. Twenty-five Negro adults and juveniles were arrested on tres- passing charges after a mass sit-in at the Trailways bus terminal. One, the Rev. Robert G. Williams, was also charged with aiding and abetting juveniles in trespassing. Earlier, trespass charges against; 15 Negroes arrested Saturday dur- ing a sit-in at the Trailways lunch counter had been dismissed be- cause of a flaw in the warrants. Congo Chief Asks Troops For Katanga By The Associated Press Premier Patrice Lumumba of the Congo said he asked the United Nations yesterday to send troops at once to the secessionist Katanga Province. Lumumba said the UN force in the Congo now totaled 11,555 and "I asked that troops be sent im- mediately-to Katanga." Moise Tshombe, premier of Ka- tange, has declared secession of that province, the Congo's richest, and has threatened to fight if the United Nations tries to send troops there. Rejects Ties Tshombe also declared yester- day his government has rejected any kind of political association with foreign countries. No other country has recognized the seces- sion of his rich province from the new Congo Republic. In rejecting foreign ties, Tshom-- be said: "I am thinking especially in this regard about influences working for a union with Rho- desia. We resist this with all our energy." The premier reiterated that Ka- tanga is in favor of a loose con- federation of the Congo provinces into a United States of Congo, and that Katanga is prepared to help finance such a confederation. He asked the United Nations to help Katanga make necessary contacts with the rest of the Con- go for going ahead with the idea. Strife Continues Mounting reports of bloody tri- bal clashes in the interior yester- day dimmed prospects for an early end to the Congo's strife. U.S. Ambassador Clare S. Tim- berlake said yesterday the United States is studying ways to provide economic help to the Congo. The diplomat told newsmen that he is flying back to Leopoldville tomorrow night after briefing President Eisenhower and mem- bers of the National Security Council yesterday in a session at the summer White House in New- port, R.I. Refuses Comment Secretary of State Christian A. Herter, who also attended the meeting with Defense Secretary Thomas S. Gates and Treasury Secretary Robert B. Anderson re- fused to comment on the Congo in any way. However, Under Secretary of State Douglas Dillon, in charge of the United States aid programs, said the United States aid pro- gram is being worked on with United Nations officials while more immediate political prob- lems are being tackled in the Congo. Timberlake said that the Congo "looks like one of the biggest jobs the United Nations has ever tack- led." The first thing that has to be resolved, he said, is the restoration of law and order. HAVANA (A)-Fidel Castro yes- terday laid aside his duties as leader of the Cuban revolution in obedience to his doctor's orders to take a complete rest-"both phys- ical and mental," informed sources said. These sources reported the bearded prime minister had been persuaded with difficulty that re- covery from his three-week ill- ness will be slowed unless he drops all his work. His ailment has been officially described as a lung in- fection, generally taken to mean pneumonia. Substitute Unsure An official silence hid the ans- wer to the question of who, if anyone, would move into the prime minister's post during Castro's convalescence. But the best bet was that Maj. Raul Castro, just home from tri- umphal visits to Moscow and Prague, will take over, at least Chang Gains In Korean House Vote SEOUL, Korea (P)-Former Vice President John M. Chang's Demo- cratic Party piled up more gains yesterday In South Korea's upper house election as increasing post- election disturbances hindered the vote count. With returns still coming in, 13 Democrats have been elected and 18 others are leading in the race for the 58-seat House of Council- ors. Six Independents have been elected. The Democratic Party, long time bitter foe of ousted President Syngman Rhee, already has won a two-thirds majority in the 233- member lower house in South Korea's first post revolutionary election. Balloting was Friday but the tallying has been delayed by disturbances. A new demonstration was re- ported in Koryong, 150 miles Southeast of Seoul and three towns were still plagued by up- risings against Liberal Party can- didates. In Seoul some 70 persons demonstrated outside a prison where a former Liberal leader is being detained. The Liberal Party, which supported Rhee, has made a strong showing despite the gen- eral disrepute into which the party fell after Rhee's overthrow last April. Violent demonstrators at Hong- chon calmed down after a group of students and citizens met with Lee Chat-Hak, who was elected to the lower house. The delegation advised Lee to resign as assembly- man, and the former ranking Lib- eral reportedly promised he would consider the proposal. until his older brother is com- army doctors treating the 33- pletely well, year-old prime minister, an- Raul, 28, once was named by nounced the orders for Castro's Fidel as -his successor if anything complete rest.

(Some Latin American quar- ters in Washington interpreted the announcement as designed to prepare Cubans for Fidel Castro's indefinite disappearance from public life. There was some doubt there that Castro really had been suffering from pneumonia.) "Treatment with antibiotics ended a week ago," Trillo said. a "And now (Castro) is on a treat- ment of absolute rest with a good diet and vitamins to recover . rapidly and completely." - F Thillo made no further public diagnosis of Castro's ailment other than to say it had affected his lungs.

BUILDING SOLID FORCE: GOP Candidate Plans Campaign for Leaders WASHINGTON ) - Richard M. Nixon and his top advisers mapped plans yesterday for active campaign roles for leaders of the liberal, middle-of-the-road and conservative wings of the Republican Party. Hoping to mold the party into a solid fighting force for the cam- paign, Nixon aimed at key assignments for President Eisenhower, New York Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller, and Arizona's Sen. Barry Goldwater. Nixon, the GOP presidential nom-- - inee, and his running mate, Henry , Cabot Lodge, gave themselves theB job of working out Eisenhower's participation.

Kennedy, the Demo- cratic presidential nominee, yes- terday accused Vice - President Richard M. Nixon of "betrayal of the Benson farm program which he helped to wrote." Kennedy aimed the personal at- tack at Nixon in a statement re- leased from his vacation head- quarters here. In it he endorsed a blast at the Republican presi- dential nominee released here earlier in the day in the names of a group of midwestern Demo- cratic governors and senators. Actually, the midwesterners' statement had been written by Kennedy campaign workers, then submitted for approval to the five governors and three senators who signed it. The document likened Nixon to a captain deserting a sinking ship in turning his back on Benson. Then, in his own statement, Kennedy said: "The Democratic leaders in the midwest have accurately pin- pointed Mr. Nixon's lack of basic beliefs indicated by his betrayal of the Benson farm program which he helped to write." Kennedy said the policies of Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson have been "disastrous" to agriculture, but that Nixon has been supporting them up to now. idea, Lincoln White, State De- partment press officer said there is no basis for hoping that Com- munist China will abandon its bel- ligerent policies to join in any such agreement. Similar Chinese Communist pro- posals have been repeated by Japa- nese Socialist party leaders. White said that the latest report "appears to be the same propa- ganda made on a number of occa- sions by Chinese Communist lead- ers during a period marked by ex- treme Chinese, Communist belli- gerence including aggression in Taiwan Strait, savage repression of Tibet and poisonous anti-Ameri- can propaganda." White pointed out that the United States and Communist China have a means of talking to each other through the meetings of ambassadors of the two coun- tries, held in Warsaw. "As of today there is no basis whatsoever in these ambassadorial talks with Communist China for the hope that Peiping will aban- don its belligerence." Maneuver Russians 'Cynical,' 'Blocking Progress' N E W P O R T )-The United States last night denounced a Russian proposal on disarmament as a cynical attempt to prevent progress in that field. The denunciation was voiced at the summer White House by Henry Cabot Lodge, United States Ambassador to the United Na- tions. His sharp criticism was directed at a Soviet Union proposal for a summit conference on disarma- ment of all 82 UN member coun- tries at the General Assembly opening Sept. 20. Reject Proposal The Russians, in making the proposal yesterday, rejected Presi- dent Eisenhower's call for an early meeting of the UN Disarmament Commission, also made up of all 82 nations. Lodge, the Republican vice, presidential nominee, discussed the Soviet proposal at a news conference after he and Vice- President Richard M Nixon, who heads the GOP political ticket, had conferred with President Eis- enhower. The conference dealt mainly with the forthcoming political campaign and the reconvening of Congress next week. Avoids Role At the outset of . he meeig afterward with newsmen, hi emphasized that Lodge would ans- wer only non-political questions. As announced earlier, Lodge plans no active role in the campaign until after he resigns from his UN post. He intends to stay on as ambassador to handle the United States disarmament proposal. Asked to comment on the Soviet counter-proposal, Lodge called it "a typically specious and frivolous maneuver." It comes from the Russians as "a cynical attempt to prevent pro- gress," he said. "It shows that they don't really want disarma- ment." Asks Meeting In asking July 22 that the com- mission meet, Lodge accused the Soviet Union of breaking up the 10-nation East-West negotiations and said thercommission should consider the' resulting situation In response to Lodge's request, Ambassador Luis Padilla Nervo of Mexico, chairman of the com- mission, consulted members indi- vidually and finally sent them all a letter Friday suggesting a meet- ing Aug. 15. Nixon Warns Ike May Veto Spending Bills NEWPORT, R.I. (R) - Vice- President Nixon warned Democrats yesterday that President Eisen- hower would veto any massive spending legislation that the chief executive regarded as purely poli- tical. Nixon, Republican nominee for president, stated the White House position after conferring with Eisenhower at the summer White House regarding the reconvening of Congress next week. The nominee said Eisenhower would regard such spending bills as "purely political, unless they carried with them the taxes-the increased taxes to pay the bill for such legislation." Nixon Indicated Eisenhower would consider big spending bills that provided tax provisions, but would veto them, too, unless he regarded them as in the public interest. The Vice-President cited the Democratic Forand Bill, providing for medical care for the aged, as 'Don Giovanni Challenges Stage Designers By JUDY OPPENHEIM5 "Don Giovanni," the final production of the Summer Playbill series, opens at 8 p.m. tomorrow at the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre. The opera has long presented serious problems to stage designers, the main difficulty being that there are ten different scenes in the opera, each requiring a different set. In addition, there is another problem paused by Mozart's failure to provide "cover" music for the intervals between scenes so that sets. could be changed. Music from other Mozart works could be placed between the scenes, and has been, in the past, but it does not make a satisfactory solution from the standpoint of serious opera lovers who object to this' sort of adulteration of the original opera.' A longer interval betreen scenes would allow changes, but the music in "Giovanni" has great fluidity and movement. It is the duty of the sets to enhance this quality instead of detracting from it by long interruptions. Solutions to this problem have been varied. In the fall of 1957, . . the New York Metropolitan Opera Company presented a new produc-4 tion of "Don Giovanni" on which stage designer Eugene Berman had "i .

Raises possibility It was another Republican, Sen. Jacob K. Javits of New York, who raised the possibility that civil rights might be acted on this month. He said he would intro- duce a bill embodying provisions in the Republican platform. Dirksen pointed out that in the first place the Democrats control the Senate and will decide what measures will be called up. And in the second place, he said, there is little possibility that a civil rights bill could be ap- proved by committee, brought to the floor and enacted in the three weeks planned for the session.
