Mansfield Demands
Immediate Protest

WASHINGTON () -Informed
officials indicated yesterday the
'United States will fire no protests
at Moscow over Russia's plan to
test rockets in the central Pacific.
The reason, they note, is that
the United States itself is using
the seas for military and scientific
tests. And America has taken a
position favoring freedom of the
seas and freedom to conduct ex-
periments in international waters,
provided reasonable safeguards are
taken to protect life and com-
merce.
Sen. Mike Mansfield (D-Mont.),
a Senate Foreign Relations Com-
mittee member, Sunday tele-
graphed Secretary of State Chris-
tian A. Herter demanding an im-
mediate strong protest to halt the
Russian tests.
He accused the Russians of arbi-
trarily taking over a 27,000-square
mile Pacific Ocean area he said
should remain open to navigation
and fishing.
In setting up its Atlantic missile
range off Cape Canaveral, Mans-
field said, the United States acted
"in full consultation with the gov-
ernments of other countries con-
cerned, such as Britain. It was not
done unilaterally, such as the Rus-
sian action in the Pacific."
State Department Press Officer
Lincoln White declined comment
on Mansfield's demand, pending
an opportunity for the department
to study it.
Another member of Congress
yesterday differed with Mansfield.
Rep. Overton Brooks (D-La.),
Chairman of the House Committee
on Science and Astronautics, de-
clared the United States is in no
position to object in view of its
own use of Pacific islands for
H-bomb tests and its extensive
Atlantic and Pacific missile ranges.
"What's sauce for the goose, is
sauce for the gander," he added.
Brooks suggested the United States
and Russia work through the
United Nations for an agreement
rn use of international waters for
missile tests.
Sen. Francis Case (R-S.D.), a
member of the Senate Armed
Services Committee, also opposed
any protest..
U.S. Protests
Cuban Seizure
Oif P roperty
HAVANA (P)-The United States
protested to Cuba yesterday
against numerous seizures of pro-
perty of United. States citizens in
this country.
The protest was delivered by
United States Amrbassador Philip
W. Bonsai to Acting Foreign Min-
ister Marcelo Fernandez.
It involved a qu'estion of seizure
and occupation of land and build-
ings of United States citizens
without court orders and fre-
quently without any written au-
thorization at all.
The protest appeared certain to
be' a confirmation of a United
States decision, reported earlier,
to adopt a firmer policy in deal-
ing with Fidel Castro's Cuba.

WASHINGTON (.A) - The Air
Force*chief of Staff declared his
belief Yesterday that the -total
defense position of the United
States is many times stronger than
that of Soviet Russia.
Gen. Thomas D. White said also
in answer to questions after a
prepared speech at the press club
that the United States "may now.
have a slight edge in military
missiles."
The Air Force general gave his
estimate of the relative positions
of the two major military nations
when asked whether he would
"rather have the total defense pos-
ture" of Russia or the United
States.
United States Stronger
"I would manyfold rather have
the military posture of the United
States, and if you add everything
such as morale, economic strength,
and all that goes to back up mili-
tary strength, I would multiply my
reference several fold more," White
replied.
He said that a single command
authority over all United States
strategic forces, including the
Strategic Air Command and the
navy's new Polaris missile sub-
marines, is absdlutely essential.
White added that he was a
strong supporter of the Polaris
missile system, because, he said,
it will add significantly to United
States strategic capabilities and
will "vastly complicate the enemy's'
defense problem."
Sees Joint Command
White envisaged a new super
joint command that might be
headed by either an air force or a
naval officer to exercise over-all
control of air force and navy
long-range weapons systems, both
manned and unmanned. He added
his belief that present law would
permit such a new command with-
out further legislation.
White also indicated he expects
to have a chance, in testifyin g be-
fore congressional committees, to
make another plea for the B70.
That long-range supersonic bomb-
er was cut back to a research pro-
gram by the Administration last;
year.

market to go into effect next fall.
The student-run store was de-
signed to save the students up to
$150,000 which they annually con-
tribute to the local book stores

The market is expected to be

MADISON-In order to make
studying a little easier at the Uni-
versity of Wisconsin, the Student
Government has decided to keep
open a special study area of the
union until midnight during the
oncoming examinaion period.
This is one-and-a-half hours be-
yond the usual closing time. The
decision to keep the study area
open was made on the basis of two
surveys , indicating that students
needed to have another place in
which to study after the library
closed.

Senate of the University of Indi-

The Senate is also requesting

need for a reading day before the
final exams. As the calendar
stands for this year, some students
will be forced to take an exam in
a course which met for the last
time the day before.

COLUMBUS - The Ohio State

WASHINGTON ( A')- rdanoted
Virginia editor said yesterday his
state is leading the South toward
acceptance of a limited form of'
racial i n t e g r a t i o n in public
schools.
Virginius Dabney of the Rich-
mond Times-Dispatch reported:
"There are indications that it may
be legally possible for southern'
states to satisfy the federal courts,,
keep open their public schools,
and yet to hold mixing of the
races in the schools to an abso-
lute minimum."
German Head
Alttacks N4azis
In 'TVSpeech
BONN (-) - Chancellor Kon-
rad Adenauer declared last night
that West Germany's anti-semitic
activity must be stopped.
Adenauer spoke in West Berlin
as his government in Bonn re-
ceived a note from Israel express-
ing "deep shock" at the upsurge
of anti-semitism.
Adenauer told a TV hookup of
all West German stations:
"One must clearly understand
that sudh incidents will be utilized
by the enemies of Germany-and
as you know, Germany still has
very many enemies-who will say.
that the Germans are the same as
they used to be."
In Hamburg, Foreign Minister
Heinrich von Brentano called for
the entire German nation to rise
against the "criminals and fools"
responsible for the outbreak of
anti-semitism.
Those who paint swastikas and
anti - Jewish slogans should be
thrown into prisons or locked up
in lunatic asylums, he told a meet-
ing of the Hamburg Overseas
Club.
But Adenauer's political op-
ponents in West Germany also
were demanding that ex-Nazis be
cleared out of the West German
government.

Dabney gave his report in a
copyrighted article in the maga-
zine U. S. NeWs & World Report.
The article recalled how a year
ago Virginia abandoned its policy
of massive resistance to the
United States Supreme Court or-
der of 1954 against segregated
schools.
Since then, Virginia has peace-
fully admitted 83 'Negroes to 16
formerly all-white schools with a
total white enrollment of more.
than 20,000. A pupil assignment
plan permits screening Of students
who wish to transfer from one
school to another.
"All this does not mean that
the South - or Virginia - is now
preparing to replace 'massive re-
sistance' with 'massive integra-
tion,'" he said.
"What it does indicate is that
much of the South may be enter-
ing a new racial era which might
be described as an era of limited
integration."
