Marshall Nomination
For Federal Judgeship

Smith Gets
Judge's Post
In Michi an
President John F. Kennedy
nominated Supreme Court Justice
Talbot Smith of Ann Arbor as
federal judge for the Eastern
Michigan district.
The President submitted Smith's
name to the Senate for confirma-
tion.
Smith, who graduated from the
University law school, was ap-
'pointed to /the State Supreme
Court in 1955, elected to the court
in 1956 and re-elected for another
full term which will expire in 1965.1

WORLD NEWS ROUNDUP:
Senate Votes Extra Funds
For Services Committee
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON-The Senate yesterday voted $30,000 additional
funds to the Senate Armined Services Committee to help finance its
inquiry into charges by Sen. Strom Thurmond (D-SC) that the Pen-
tagon tries to prevent military personnel from speaking against Com-
munism.
The committee has set up a special subcommittee headed by Sen.

Risks Wrath
Of Southern
Democrats
HYANNIS PORT (IP)-President.
John F. Kennedy yesterday risked
new controversy with Southern
Democrats by nominating Thur-
good Marshall, Negro integration
leader, to a high federal judge-
ship.
Marshall, who has argued the1
civil rights case for Negroes in
court since 1938, was chosen for
the United States 2nd circuit court
of appeals in New York.
The appointment was not unex-
pected, but neither was it an-
nounced until Congress headed
into the closing hours of its 1961
session. The Senate must confirm
Marshall's nomination, and it must
pass first through the judiciary
committee beaded by Sen. James
0. Eastland (D-Miss), who has
long been identified with the most,
adamant Southern foes of racial;
desegregation.
White House Press Secretary
Pierre Salinger, here for the week-
end with the President, said Ken-
nedy would submit Marshall's
name again on an interim basis
after Congress adjourns. This step
would be necessary for Marshall to
serve on the federal appellate
bench until the Senate, with hard-
ly time left this session, acts on
the nomination next year.
Kennedy made pubdlic his selec-
tion of Marshall, veteran lawyer
for the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored
People on the first full day of his
13th straight weekend on Cape
Cod.

Ask Agency
To Control
Armament
WASHINGTON (All) - Congress
yesterday sent to President John
F. Kennedy the legislation he re-
quested setting up a new agency
to work on disarmament and arms
control.
The Senate approved the com-
promise version of the bill by
voice vote soon after the House
okayed it by 251-50.
As drafted by House-Senate
conferees, the bill establishes the
"arms control and disarmament
agency" headed by a, director who
will work under the direction of
the President and secretary of
state and have direct access to the,
'White House, when necessary.
The agency will be administered
by the State Department, but will
operate independently of the reg-
ular machinery of the department.
The bill retains the House lim-
itation on the authority of the
agency and the administration to
make disarmamenit agreements
without the knowledge and con-
sent of Congress.
The House had eliminated the
word "disarmament" from the
title of the proposed new organiza-
tion.
Rep. H. R. Gross (R-Iowa) said
he was sorry that disarmament
"was allowed to slip back into
the title of the agency."~
Rep. Walter Judd (R-Minn)
said the use of the word dis-
armament in the title "might con-
fuse many Americans."

LEOPOLDVILLE (A') - Lt. Gen.
Sean McKeown claimed last night,
his United Nations troops now
have the Katanga situation com-
pletely under control. He blamed
white residents of Elisabethville
for much of the hostile activity
now stemmed by a cease-fire.
The Irish chief of the UN Congo
command told newsmen the UN
forces were never in danger of de-
feat in their eight-day battle
against President Moise Tshom-
be's army and he believes the
operation has been successful up
to the present.
"We still have what we started
with-four intact battalions with
armor," McKeown said.
Greatest Loss
His greatest single loss was an
Irish company of 155 men cap-
tured by Katangans at Jadotville.
"There is no doubt there was a
violation of the local cease-fire
concluded between the Irish com-
mander and the local Katanga
officer," McKeown said. "The Irish
were led into some trick or trap,
but we have few details of what
actually happened."
Speaking of stories that Indian
UN troops committed atrocities,
the .general said emphatically:
"I can flatly deny charges of
Indian brutality. They displayed
the finest discipline in very diffi-
cult and aggravating conditions."
Cease-Fire Observed
A UN spokesman announced
that the cease-fire ordered Wed-

nesday midnight was being ob-
served almost everywhere. But ind
Elisabethville, the capital, there
was still sniping around the edge
of UN camps housing 30,090or
more Baluba refugees. The spokes-
men said UN troops, withholding
their own fire, had been ordered
to put a stop to the shooting.
McKeown said that some time
before the Katanga battle erupted1
Sept. 13 he had asked the UN to
supply him tanks and jet fighters.I
But these had been refused him,
he said, because they considered
offensive weapons and the UN
mission was one of peace.
"I think the decision was right
at the time,' he said.
But he admitted that the one
form of attack which the UN
could not cope with in Katanga
was the bombing and strafing by
Tshombe's two-jet air force.
The general said nearly every
white person living in Elisabeth-
ville was armed and nearly all
were against the UN.
"Every white was a source of
information on the movement of
UN troops and this greatly em-
barrassed our activities," he said.

Congressional
Adj ourument
Attempt Fails
WASHINGTON (M) - Congress
late yesterday gave up an * at-
tempt to adjourn the 1961 session
last night.
The Senate became bogged
down in a. parliamentary dispute.
So the House quit. work at 4:40
p.m. until noon Monday.
House leaders, obviously irked
at the last minute upsetting of
their plans to quit last night, said
privately they doubted if the
House could muster a quorum-
218-of its members Monday.
Many members already have left
town. .

John C. Stennis (D-Miss) to con-
duct the inquiry.

ALGIERS-European residents
of Algeria last night loudly reaf-
firmed their support of the anti-
Gaullist secret army organization.
In Oran, European residents
took to the streets banging on
pots and pans in the rhythmic
three short and two long notes
signifiying Al-ger-ie Fran-caise
(Algeria is French).

HAIFA, Israel-Several hundred
Arab youths tried last night to
break into the Jewish quarter of
the ancient town of Acre on the
Mediterranean north of Haifa.
Police thwarted the attempt
and dispersed the demonstrators
who shouted "Ben-Gurion get
out" and "down with the Israeli
government."
