President Joseph Kasavubu of the Congo expelled UAR Am- bassador Murad Ghaleb Thursday with the charge that he was en- couraging rebel (pro-Lumumba) elements. Nasser accused Kasavubu's Bel-, gian advisers of influencing Kasa- vubu to take this step, and looked about for ways to retaliate. He promptly nationalized two Belgian firms and sequestered two others, worth $10 million. Friday night, over Belgian pro- tests, the UAR seized three more Belgian companies, including the operators of Cairo's fabled Shep- heards Hotel, and a branch of a well-known automobile manufac- turer. The hotels company, in which Belgians owned, at least 75 per cent of the stock, ran the Shep- heards, which has figured in many Oriental intrigues, and a less wide- ly known hotel, the Semiramis. -UNESCO Accepts Congo Delegation PARIS (/P)-The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cul- tural Organization (UNESCO) general conference last night voted to seat a Congo delegation representating President JosephM Kasavubu. I ~il I To Delay Program CAPE CANAVERAL (M - Pro- ject Mercury - named for a winged-footed Roman god- ap- pears to have both feet in a bed of quicksand. Mercury's seven Astronauts are trained, primed and eager to rocket into space. But their space- craft isn't. A series of disastrous launching failures has put the program months behind schedule. A time- table laid 'down only six months ago called for the first Astronaut to be launched on a ballistic flight over the Atlantic last October, with a manned orbit shot scheduled for mid-1961. Delay Likely It now appears that the first ballistic flight will be delayed until March or April and the or- bit attempt until late next year or early in 1962 Critics contend the delays are plunging this country toward a new humiliation in the space race with Russia. Alarm has spread to Congress, The House Science and Astronau- tics Committee has promised an investigation in January. After more than a year of plan- ing and testing boiler-plate mock- ups, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) came up last May with what it considered the final production capsule. The first launching -. involving only the spacecraft and the rocket escape tower-was a success and the space agency set an ambitious firing schedule. Launching Slated Eight more launchings, using Redstone, Atlas and Little Joer booster rockets, were slated before the end of 1960. These included hurling a chimpanzee and then an Astronaut on Redstone-propelled ballisie flights.I Only three of these have been attempted. All failed. On July 29, a capsule-carrying Atlas exploded 65 seconds after lifting off from Cape Canaveral. A hunk of capsule reportedly broke loose and sliced into the Atlas fuel tanks. . On Nov. 8, a capsule failed to separate from a Little Joe at Wallops Island, Va. Purpose of the flight was to test the capsule escape system under extreme con- dtions. Firing Fizzles On Nov. 21, firing of a Redstone capped by a capsule fizled due to a faulty connection. This Redstone was to have boosted the spacecraft 130 miles into space and 220 miles down the Atlantic Missile Range. One day before, on Nov. 20, Dr. T. Keith Glennan, NASA director, predicted an Austronaut would make an identical trip in January or Feb- ruary. After the failure, NASA said it would only delay the sche- dule a matter of weeks. But the space agency must now take a long, hard look at the capsule. Some redesigning may be in order. Scientists consider the 16-minute manned Redstone flight impor- tant in determining if an As- tronaut can operate in a space environment before man tackles the more difficult orbital mission. Tests Endurance On the Redstone flight, the As- tronaut will endure 51/2 minutes of weightlessness and forces six and 11 times the pull of gravity during' blastoff and re-entry, respectively. Temperatures up to 600 degrees Fahrenheit will build up on the capsule surface, but the pilot will be comfortable in his air-condi- tioned sealed chamber. On launching, the Astronaut will be flat on his back, his knees drawn up. In rapid sequence at 35 miles altitude about 140 seconds after launch, (1) the Redstone will burn out and separate from4 the spacecraft; (2) the escape' tower will be jettisoned; and (3) small rockets at the -base of the capsule will fire to push the craft ahead and away from the booster. About five seconds after separa- tion, an automatic stabilization and control system will swing the capsule around 180 degrees so the blunt base will be in a forward position. The base is covered with a heat shield. The pilot now will be sitting upright, his back to- ward the direction he is traveling. Rocket Slowed As the vehicle reaches a peak altitude of 130 miles, three retro- rockets attached to the heat shield ignite and slow it, letting gravity assert itself by pulling the craft back toward earth. As the man plunges downward he will reach peak speed of 4,000 miles an hour. The speed will start to diminish as the capsule encounters atmos- pheric friction at a height of about 50 miles. At 42,000 feet, a 6-foot- wide drogue parachute will pop- out to help slow the speed to about 600 miles an hour. Then at 10,000 feet, a 63-foot-wide main chute will- deploycto ease the cap- sule into the ocean-landing it with the force of a man stepping off a 14-foot wall. If all goes right, the capsule will plunk in an area 90 miles northeast of Grand Bahama Is- land which will be saturated with recovery ships and planes. Just in case it's off course, various recovery aids will be activated by the capsule. These include dye markers, radio beacons and flash- ing lights. During the Atlas-boosted orbit flight, gravity forces will be about the same as on the Redstone tests. However, thecapsule will whip around the world at 17,400 miles an hour and will be seared by 3,000-degree re-entry heat. The initial orbit flight is intended to swing the Astronaut three times around the globe in 4 2 hours, depositing him in the Atlantic off the Florida coast. The pilot will be in a weightless state for all but a few minutes of this time. Spokesman Calls Mobutu U.S Stooge Western Diplomats Deplore Treatment UNITED NATIONS (M - A Soviet bloc delegate demanded in the United Nations General" As- sembly yesterday the immediate release of the Congo's deposed premier, Patrice Lumumba. Lumumba is a prisoner of Con- golese troops of strongman Col. Joseph Mobutu. Kuzma V. Kiselev, foreign minis- ter of White Russia, injected the demand into an Assembly debate on colonialism. He was called to Legislature Still, Fights Integration BATON ROUGE (AP)-A state judge issued a temporary restrain- ing order here yesterday against the Legislature's third attempt to replace the New Orleans school board within: hours after the measure had been approved. Civil Dist. Judge Fred S. Le- blanc issued the order after a suit to have the measure declar- ed unconstiutional was filed by George L. Snglemann, an official of the New Orleans Citizens Council and Lewis S. Doherty, Jr. of Baton Rouge. The state immediately appealed to the state supreme court. Passes overwhelmingly The bill received overwhelm- ingly legislative passage despite a three-judge federal court injunc- tion forbidding the Legislature to interfere with the school Integra- tion situation. The Senate vote yesterday was 27-5. The bill would set up a new five-man board. Gov. Jimmie H. Davis, who signed the emergency legislation despite the fact that he is also under federal court in- junction, would appoint immedi- ately a five-member board with powers limited to financing Or- leans Parish (county) schools. Members of the board would be elected in the 1962 Congres- sional elections to staggered six- year terms., Judges Meet Three members of the Louisi- ana. Supreme Court met in New Orleans yesterdayuafternoon after receiving an appeal from State Atty. Gen. Jack Gremillion and three other officials. There was no indication that the court would act before tomor- row. The exact meaning of the new suit was not immediately clear. Singlemann and Doherty had filed suit two weeks previous to re- strain the present school board, which complied with federal court integration orders, but the suit was transferred to federal lourt and nullified by United States District Judge J. Skelly Wright. There was speculation they filed the suit in state court to prevent possible federal litigation. Group Backs Shelter Plan WASHINGTON MA-A national nuclear warfare shelter program costing up to $60 billion was ad- vocated yesterday as a prerequi- site to a workable disarmament agreement. An official of the National Planning Association argued that with such a passive defense sys- tem offering at least 90 per cent reduction in probable casualties, the United States could "afford to agree to an arms control plan that provides good, but not per- fect, control and inspection." HAVANA (M-)-The semi-official Cuban newspaper Revoluucion com- plained yesterday that President Dwight D. Eisenhower's decision to give $1 million aid to Cuban refugees in Florida "opens up' a free lunch counter" for counter- revolutionaries. By allocating the money to help the 30,000 refugees, the United States government "officialized and legalized the financing of counterrevolution" against the Castro regime, the newspaper said. It castigated the refugees as people "who are disposed to live without working and are willing to join in battle against the Cuban revolution." Not Mentioned No mention was made of the fact that Eisenhower acted under a law pertaining to aid for refu- gees from Communist-run govern- ments-which in effect labels Cu- ba Communist for the first time in Washington. Said Revolucion: "The Yankee government, which has never had a holy attitude to- ward its Negroes in the South threatened by hordes of KKK, which has never concerned itself with the exploitation of Latin- American peoples, which had no compassion over dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima, now says it is spending a million dollars to help Cuban refugees."

The plane was a trailblazer to familiarize pilots with the route. The pilot said the airlift will start shortly with twin-engined Ilyushin 14 transport planes. HARTFORD - The Hartford Times said yesterday that John M. Bailey, Democratic state chair- man in Connecticut, is President- elect John F. Kennedy's "personal choice to be the next Democratic national chairman The newspaper said it "learned this from people in a position to know the facts as they exist to- day." LONDON -- The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Geoffrey Fisher, returned yesterday from his his- toric call on Pope John XXIII with a statement that ever closer con- tacts will be maintained between Protestants and Catholics. The Anglican primate, who also saw christian leaders in the holy land on a 10-day trip climaxed b his visit to the Vatican Friday, said the Christian church is already united in spirit. v gan accused Eisenhower of creat- ing a system of "botellas" (pay- offs or bribes) for/'the war crim- inals in Florida ., . those who are not accustomed to work but only to assassinate other Cubans."

Congo president AT H ILLEL--every Sunday 1429 Hill . ..6 P.M. FLOWERS by Bud-Mor order by Assembly President Fred- erickH. Boland of Ireland for straying from the issue under discussion. Kiselev said his delegation "de- cisively protests against the savage and arbitrary arrest of Mr. Lu- mumba and demands his imme- diate release." He went a step farther than the Russians, who called on Secretary-General Dag Hammar- skjold Friday night to report im- mediately on what the UN is doing to help Lumumba. He said the UN command there "engages in reconciliation with the illegal, dictatorial regime of Col. Mobutu." He called Mobutu a stooge for the Belgians and Americans. Western diplomats said yester- day the savage treatment dealt Lumumba by Congolese troops may backfire against Mobutu's pro-Western regime. Lumumba, 'captured by Mobu- tu's forces at Port Franequi Thurs- day night while trying to reach his Stanleyville stronghold, was brutally manhandled.
