THE MICHIGAN DAILY JN Reports By Congo Meriwether A ontme Pbasses, Vote WASHINGTON (A)-By a single vote, a Senate committee approv.- ed Charles M. Meriwether yester-, day to be a director of the Export- Import Bank. Approval came after Meriwether, a segregationist, de- nied membership in the Ku Klux Klan. It was the closest any nominee of President John F. Kennedy has come to committee rejection, and it could foreshadow trouble in the Full Senate. Chairman A. Willis Robertson (D-Va) said the nomi- nation would not reach the floor before Monday. With six senators not voting, the banking committee approved Mer- twether by a 5-4 vote.t For 2x/2 hours, the Alabaman was questioned closely about his views on segregation, the Klan, anti-Semitism, and politics. Meriwether, state finance di- rector, is a former campaign man- agter of Gov, John Patterson of Alabama. Patterson was one of the first Democratic governors to support Kennedy for: the Demo- 'cratic presidential nomination. Most, of the controversy over Meriwether has been stirred by his past association with retired Adm. John G. Crommelin. In recent years, Crommelin has run for a variety of offices in Ala- bama. Meriwether was Crommel- in's campaign manager when he ran for the Senate in 1950. But Meriwether testified he severed ties with Cronmelin later. A hint that Meriwether's nomi- nation was headed for trouble emerged Wednesday at Kennedy's news conference. Twice, the President was asked about Meriwether. In terse replies, the President supported the nomi- nation but did not elaborate. r 10UR0 Rioting Soldiers 9Forty Killed In Massacre Of Civiians { £ UN, Congo Troops Patrol Luluabourg LEOPOLDVILLE (R) -Congo- lese troops slaughter 44 civilians .: . at Luluabourg in the bloodiest or- ;gy since the tribal massacres in the Congo's early days of inde- pendence, the United Nations said yesterday.

British Pacifists ToI-lockade U.S Court Asks Accelerated Integration ST. LOUIS (P) - The eighth United States Circuit Court of Appeals ruled yesterday the Little Rock, Ark., school board must speed up desegregation of the city's schools. The court held that constitu- tional rights of Negro pupils had been violated by procedures used in making assignments to various schools under the Arkansas pupil placement act. The appeals court thus upheld arguments by attorney for 14 Ne- gro pupils who had contended that the board had established "a gov- ernmental framework to prevent desegregation." .The appellate court reversed a Sept. 2 ruling by Federal Judge John E. Miller of Little Rock, who had ruled that the board was in compliance with the law. The high court directed Judge Miller to retain jurisdiction, which Miller rejected in his September decision. The appeals court said the pre- vious failure of the Little Rock school board to make progress to- ward desegregation might be jus- tified. It cited the 1957-58 school year when Central High at Little Rock operated under supervision of federal troops and the fact the schools were completely closed during 1958-59. "However," the court said, "as we aproach the 1961-62 school year, sufficient time has elapsed to compel affirmative action in this regard to the end that there may be integration in more than a token fashion." Predict Quick Development Of Nike-Zeus HUNTSVILLE, Ala. WP) - The Nike-Zeus anti-missile missile could be in operation in less than two years after production is or- dered. an Army spokesman said yesterday. The Zeus would be this nation's major response in the event of any missile aggression. No money has been appropriated for its pro- duction. "We are anticipating the Presi- dent's approval of the Zeus," the spokesman said, "and we have people standing by to proceed with production tests androther functions." The Zeus would be capable of carrying a nuclear warhead, and would be a major defense against an attack by intercontinental bal- listic missiles. The Army is establishing facili- ties at Kwajalein atoll in the Mar- shall Islands for a Zeus test against an Atlas ICBM later this year. Catholics Hit School Aid Bill WASHINGTON P) - Leading Roman Catholic prelates yester- day opposed President John F. Kennedy's school aideprogram un- less it is widened to include loans for parochial schools. Differing with Kennedy, they said such aid would be constitu- tional. The stand was announced by the administrative board of the National Catholic Welfare Confer- ence, which includes the five Unit- ed States cardinals and ten arch- bishops and bishops who head conference departments. The board met here yesterday at a time when Kennedy was. repeating his previously stated position that the Constitution bars aid to parochial schools.

Germans List Foreign Aid BONN (P) - West Germany's foreign aid in 1961 will total 4.14 billion marks ($986.27 million), more than five times last year's outlay, the finance ministry said yesterday.
