TUESDAY, 23 MARCH 1965 THE MICHIGAN DAILX PAGE TIME;' TUSAI2 AC 95TEM~IA AL AETRJ _. r .. , Rights Marchers Step Up Pace, Leave Dallas County] Sky Clears; Give Okay For U.S. Two-Man Flight By The Associated Press SELMA-Three hundred march- ers stepped up the pace of their 50-mile right-to-vote trek to Ala- bama's capital yesterday and crossed into Lowndes County, de- scribed once by a Negro leader as "worse than hell." Rev Martin Luther King, Jr. led his weary civil rights pil- grims doggedly along U.S. 80, which narrowed to two lanes at the Dallas-Lowndes county line. Leroy Collins, director of the Federal Community Relations Service, also joined the marchers. The campsite for the second night of the march was a pasture about one mile from Big Swamp Creek, still ahead of the march- ers. The site is about 25 miles east of Selma. Federalized National Guards- men in battle fatigues and Army military police escorted the march. Helicopters and the drone of Ar- my reconnaisance planes accom- panied the procession. Find Another Bomb In Birmingham, police found still another 'bomb in a Negro area. The deadly dynamite time bomb was the sixth discovered since Sunday morning in pre- dominantly Negro neighborhoods. Army experts disarmed all the bombs. None of them exploded. And Alabama legislators at Montgomery considered calling t legal holiday Thursday to shut down the capital in advance of King's arrival. This would be aimed at protesting the march. In Washington Meanwhile, in Washington, Senate leader Everett M. Dirk- sen (R-Ill) served notice yester- day that if President Johnson's voting rights bill is not passed by April 15, the senators will for- feit their Easter recess. CAPE KENNEDY (P) - Three days of overcast skies thinned and aroke up yesterday, apparently clearing the way for today's scheduled five-hour dashinto space by two U.S. astronauts and the space capsule they call "Molly Brown."~ The seven-hour countdown - for the scheduled 9 a.m. (EST) blastoff-began at 2 am. with the astronauts due on board the spacecraft-just 100 minutes before launch time. As if part of the countdown, high altitude winds began to blow from the southwest to disperse cloud cover that has hung over the launch area and dampened flight plans with cold and spor- adic showers. Well Within Limits Even the outlook for sea weath-! er improved. Expected conditions in the prime and secondary land- ing areas in the Atlantic were well within the limits of cloud ceiling, visibility, wind and wave levels. The weather requirements for this first flight of Americans in a two-man spaceship are much more relaxed than the rigid conditions necessary for the launching and recovery of the one-man Mer- cury capsules. Air Force Map. Virgil I. Gris- son, the Gemini command poliot, and Navy Lt. Cmdr. John W. Young, co-pilot, will be the first U.S. astronauts into space since LeroyrGordon Cooper, Jr., anoth- er Air Force major, ended the Mercury program with a 22-or- bit, 34-hour flight, May 15, 1963. Less Breathless The atmosphere of the Cape was decidedly less breathless than! in the days preceding the Mer- cury shots. Most of the change was due to the heightened confidence of the space officials, and the advanced design of the Gemini spacecraft and the Titan II rocket which are both easier to prepare and repair than the more complex Mercury- Atlas systems, Space officials said they would make their final decision to go or not to go two hours and 50 min- utes before the scheduled blast- off at 9 a.m. Even then, they might decide tc hold up the countdown at that point and wait until weather im- proves. It was a calculated risk against the imponderable weather that has always been a space flight problem. If the shot fails to go off to- day, space officials said it would be at least 48 hours before they could try again. Time is heeded to drain the fuel and cleanse the tanks of the rocket. Segregation.

Willow Village is almost totally racially segregated: of the five subdivisions in the Village, two are 100 per cent Negro, one is 100 per cent white, one is 99 per cent white and the fifth is 70 per cent Negro. The white neighborhoods lie in Ypsilanti Township for the most part, and the Negroes live in Superior Township. J. C. Rutherford, WRAND board member and president of the Wil- low Run branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, said that he is certain that race has crept into the issue, but "couldn't say to what extent." Mrs. Gerald Post, a Ypsilanti Township trustee, said that some of the opposition to the project may involve race. "There's more to the protest than meets the eye," she said. "I think underneath there is a fear it will be turned into an integration problem." The Ypsilanti Township resi- dents are the most disturbed over the grant and the ILIR report.

By JOSHUA BARLEV The Middle East is again the scene of a tense situation which threatens to explode into a ma- jor conflict with significant bear- ing on world peace. The opponents, as before, are Israel and the Arab nations, back- ed by support from either West- ern nations or the Communist bloc. Israel has strong ties with France and Great Britain, and to a lesser degree with the U.S. Egypt and hereallies can expect aid from the Soviet Union. Enough Support Enough support is available tc makeua large-scale war possible if conditions remain as they are Recent incidents involving West Germany's recognition of Israel have only served to accent a situation which has already exist- ed for 17 years. 8000 Square Miles Israel is a country of approxi- mately 8000 square miles, with a population of over two and a half million people, most of whom are immigrants who established per- manent residence in the new stat after the independence war of 1948. The Arabs have always main- tained that they were the first ones there, and therefore have the right to exclude any group such as the Jewish immigrants, from establishing homes within their boundaries. 'Promised Land' Since Bihlieal timrns Trel has always been the "Promised Land" for the Jews. Through the count- less exiles, inquisitions and per- secutions of the centuries, the Zionist idea was only nurtured and strengthened. The Jews re- ceived concrete support when Great Britain, which was later given a League of Nations man- date over Palestine, issued the Balfour Declaration in 1917, prom- ising to assist the Jews attain their own homeland. When the mandate was final- ly given up by England, the Unit- ed Nations decided that the best way to prevent the imending' conflict between the Arabs and Israelis, and (at the same time) give the Jews their own home- land, was to partition Palestine into two areas, and recognize the Jewish part as Israel. Readily Accepted While the plan was readily ac- cepted by the Israelis, it was com- pletely rejected by the Arab na- tions, who threatened war if the plan was carried out. Thus the Jews; declaring their independ- ence on May 15, 1948, were force to fight for the right to exist as a nation, a right which had al INSTANT SILENCE For information write: Academic Aids, Box 969 Berkeley, California 94701 ready been given them by the United Nations. After more than a year, the Arab nations of Egypt, Syria, Jor- dan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Yemen and Lebanon, driven back and defeated, agreed to a truce es- tablished by a UN delegation. In the years since 1949 the conflict between the Arabs and Israel has centered about one ma- jor problem, besides the existence of the Jewish State, and one ma- jor incident. Arab Refugees The problem concerns the thou- sands of Arab refugees who were made homeless after 1948. Before the war, they were given a choice of whether to remain in Israel as- full citizens or to leave with reparations for their fields and homes. After the war, Israel offered to absorb 100,000 refugees, a plan that was refused by the Arab na- tions.Today Israel would not ac- cept that many. The Arab nations have not ab- sorbedhasvmany refugees as they could have. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency, which has admin+ istered the refugee camps, has determined alone that Syria has enough cultivable land to absorb the now swollen numbers (almost a million) of homeless Arabs. Thus the problem persists, operate with the United Nations. Though Israel has continued to be involved in border incidents in the area, particularly with Syria and Egypt, these have been kept under control by the peace- keeping force of the UN. In 1956, however, after several Fedayeen (commando) raids by the Egyptians which murdered families and destroyed settlements along the Gaza Strip, the border between the two nations, Israel retaliated with a swift attack, and within three days had established control over the Sinai Peninsula and the Gulf of Aquaba, and was in a position to seize the Suez Canal. Through UN and U.S. pressure the army retreated to its borders, but the efficiency and ability of the troops impressed military ex- perts all over the world. Thus, the situation between the two opponents until several years ago was serious enough. But now with the Jordan River problem, increased armaments on either side and Arab humiliations such as the West German incident, it becomes even more serious and threatening to world peace. q=M B'NAI B'RITH HILLEL FOUNDATION TON 1429 Hill Street TONIGHT AT 8 LECTURE BY DR.'
