Kennedy spent two hours yesterday getting up-to-date re- ports on the efforts of this coun- try and its allies to bolster the military might of the North At- lantic Treaty Organization. The briefing was, begun by De- fense Secretary Robert S. McNa- mara and Gen. Lyman L. Lem- nitzer, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. It was capped by a first-hand report from Europe by Gen. Lauris Norstad, supreme commander of NATO., Secretary of State Dean Rusk, who gave Kennedy a run-down Monday on the diplomatic situa- tion in the Berlin crisis, sat in on the military discussions. There was no word from the White House afterward on what was said. The participants left by a side door, with Rusk leaving a bit earlier than the others. One purpose of the session was to enable Kennedy to catch up on the details of the latest develop ments in view of his meeting later this week with Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei A. Gromyko. There still was no datemsetfor the Kennedy-Gromyko meeting, nor for the Russian's further talks with Rusk. But White House sources indicated that the Presi- dent likely will receive the Krem- lin's foreign policy expert on Fri- day. Should Gromyko come to Wash- ington only during the second half of the week this would allow only a limited number of meetings with Rusk. 'NOT IN TROUBLE': Hodges ,,Asks Less Aid For Depressed Areas WASHINGTON (M)-Secretary of Commerce Luther H. Hodges, said yesterday many of the counties designatedsby his department as depressed areas are really not in trouble and don't need federal aid. "I wish a lot of them would pull out," Hodges told a news confer- ence. He said many could do a proper economic development job using local resources. Hodges was surprisingly outspoken in discussing the $394-million federal program which his department administers. However, not all his remarks were critical. He said No Violence Follows Act By Officials Use News Blackout To Keep City Calm MEMPHIS () A century of seg- regation ended in Memphis yes- terday with 13 Negro first graders admitted to white schools guarded by a massive police turnout. Police Commissioner , Claude Armour reported there were no incidents. Fifty patrolmen, billy clubs in hand, patrolled the area around each of the four schools involved. Desegregation was voluntary, al- though due to indirect pressure from a federal suit now pending on appeal. The school board pre- pared for it in near secrecy. News Blackout For many residents, integration came as a jolt. They got their first word of it this morning when a news blackout was lifted. Attendance at the schools was reported nearly normal despite a trickle of bitterly outspoken white mothers who hustled their young- sters out of classes. About 25 students were removed by parents, officials reported. "We will either transfer him or move plumb out of the city," said Mrs. HermanMcGregor after pull- ing her 9-year-old son out of his fourth grade class. "We may go back to Mississippi where they don't let them go to school with whites." 'Rather Be Dumb' "Yeah," said Jerry McGregor. "I'd rather be dumb than go to school with them." William D. Galbreath, school board president, said no transfers to other schools would be granted to pupils dissatisfied with deseg- regated schools. Inside the schools, spokesmen reported all was serene. Teachers had prepared their classes for the new pupils. The wide-eyed new- comers moved through the school day without restriction. The 8 girls and 5 boys were carefully chosen from 42 who ap- pealed to the city Board of Educa- tion 'after their applications for admittance to white schools were rejected last month. Kennedy Signs Education Bill WASHINGTON () - President John F. Kennedy last night sign- ed into law the bill extending for two years the program of federal aid for schools crowded because of federal activity in their areas. The measure also continues for two years the National Defense Education Act providing loans to college students and other aids to teaching of science, mathematics and foreign languages. This measure was all that Con- gress granted the President of the ambitious federal aid to edu- cation program he proposed this year. Take Four In Air flight Into Berlin BERLIN (P)-A United States Army helicopter flew five East German refugees from the Stein- stuecken enclave yesterday, dupli- cating a rescue that angered Com- munist East Germany last week. Steinstuecken is a village of 200, a suburban part of the American sector -of West Berlin surrounded by Communist territory and Com- munist fencing, freshly reinforc- ed. Military communication between the American sector proper and the village is by helicopter. Two such craft plucked seven East German refugees from the village last week and flew them to West Berlin. Makes Accusation The East German Foreign Min- istry accused the Americans of violating'East German air space. The United States Berlin com- mand, in announcing the operation yesterday, said the five were tak- en aboard "during a routine vis- it." The incident, coincided with a Soviet Embassy announcement that Marshal Ivan S. Konev, com- mander of Soviet foices in East Germany, has warned the Ameri- can army not toastir up trouble that could upset East-West nego- tiations on Berlin. Avoid Friction A spokesman said Konev, trans- erred to East Germany recently from command of the Warsaw Pact armies, had written Gen. Bruce C. Clarke, commander of the United States Army in Eu- rope, to avoid any action that could cause friction. Clarke's headquarters in Heid- elberg confirmed that a letter was received from the marshal and said Clarke had answered it. The correspondence appeared to relate mainly to a United States- Soviet squabble about United States patrols on the autobahn between Berlin and West Ger- many. World News Roundun By The Associated Press ELISABETHVILLE - Katanga and United Nations authorities yesterday accused each other of violations of the two-weeks-old temporary cease-fire agreement. Renewed tensions seem to lie ahead. * * * BONN-Poland, Czechoslovakia and East Germany have increased their military forces 20 per cent in the last eight weeks, authori- tative West German military sources said yesterday. WASHINGTON - The country gained an inch or so last month on the stubborn problem of jobless- ness and can expect some real im- provement this month, the Labor Department reported yesterday. Unemployment dipped by 4.,000 in September to a total of 4,085,- 000. NEW YORK-The Dow Jones stock averages split in, their clos- ing last night with industrials and the general trend going down slightly, rails and utilities up. slightly. DAMASCUS (P) -=The revolt that split Syria from the United Arab Republic was originally plan- ned to halt weakening of the Syrian army by the Egyptians rather than as a political move- ment, the army's new commander in chief said yesterday. Gen. Abdel Karim Zahredin told newsmen President- Gamal Abdul Nasser's intelligence offi- cers had infiltrated "like an octo- pus to weaken the Syrian army, suffocate freedom of citizens and to fill prisons." He accused the Egyptians of stealing military arms and equip- ment worth 10 million Syrian pounds ($28 million at the official exchange rate) and shipping them off to Cairo. Redress Wrongs "The army's only aim ( in re- volting) was to redress wrongs and it was pledged not to interfere with the political life of Syria," Zahredin said. The top six officers and other members of the revolutionary command have reportedly gone back to their army jobs and are not mixing in government. The new commander in chief himself was not involved in the coup. ,The new 12-man cabinet, most of whose members have almost no government experience, is consid- ered decidedly pro-Western by ob- servers. Might Lose Backing But a declaration to that effect would raise cries of "imperialism" that might endanger public sup- port for the new regime. UAR Asks U.S. To'Hold Policy WASHINGTON (R)-The Unit- ed Arab Republic has asked the United States to ignore Syria's re- quest for diplomatic recognition, diplomatic sources reported yes- terday. The request of President Gam- al Nasser's government ,reached the State Department through normal diplomatic channels Mon- day, informants said. The United States, a UAR diplo- mat was told, is still considering the Syrian request and no imme- diate decision should be expected.

Nasser still has a larger per- sonal following among Syrians and the coup would not have suc- ceeded, informed sources said, ex- cept for two things: 1) A wave of anti-Egyptian feel- ing caused by a personal tax im- posed in August. Intelligence Setup 2) Nasser's lieutenants had be- gun dismantling the dreaded in- telligence network that told them what was going on. The apparatus was established by Col.

Crises in Laos and South -Viet Nam are expected to dominate the three-day conference. The chief delegates -'military commanders from the United States, Britain, France, Australia, New Zealand, Pakistan, the Phil- ippines and Thailand-have made clear they consider the situation in those two little countries grave. Thailand underscored its con- cern by announcing it plans to evacuate its villages along the Me- kong River border with Laos if fighting breaks out again in that jungle kingdom. No details of the agenda were officiallly disclosed. .1 1 Oct. 1-7 is NATIONAL BUSINESS WOMEN'S WEEK. For the Business and Professional women of the Cam- pus and Ann Arbor and vicinity, we are having OPEN HOUSE TOMORROW 6:30 till 9:00 P.M. to come in BROWSE-BUY; (model if you like) Sell your friends at one point that applications for aid aren't beiyg approved fast enough. This seeming conflict stemmed from a distinction which Hodges drew between two types of coun- ties designated as depressed. In urging withdrawal from the program he was speaking primar- ily about rural counties which are eligible for aid because the aver- age income of their farm families is less than $1,170 a year. There are 487 counties in this category. Aid also is being offered to 376 other' countries. Most of these are urban areas designated because of substantial and persistent unem- ployment. A number of rural counties have protested against their inclusion in the program, and Hodges said they have a point. "I think psychologically it is bad to be called a depressed area," he said, but added: "On the one hand the county or the people resent being called a depressed area and on the other hand quietly reach out and get whatever they can.,,+ Hodges said that of the 863 counties which are considered de- pressed, "You would find a fairly good lot of 'them that are really not in trouble. "If I were chairman of the county commissioners I'd get my group together... and I'd say, 'Let's stay out of this thing'." Test Rayburn For Operation DALLAS (1') - Doctors made more tests yesterday on House Speaker Sam Rayburn to deter- mine whether anoperation will be necessary for a suspected liver ail- ment or other internal indisposi- tions. An attending. physician said it will be today or perhaps longer before tests are complete. Physi- cians then will determine what must be done. A doctor said the 79-year-old Rayburn remained under heavy sedation yesterday.Late Monday he walked into Baylor Hospital under his own power. John Holton, Rayburn's admin- istrative assistant, termed the speaker's condition serious but not ,critical. I SENIORC~S 337 South Main St. w. . # !. \;ft FREE PARKING Open Mon. through Fri.
