chills are apparent and Temain
for several hours, students are
advised to remain quiet, not in.

per cent or approximately 1,800
complained of symptoms of Upper
Respiratory Infection."
Report to Hatcher
Dr. Beckett revealed, that the
r e p o r t was sent to President
IKatcher, five top administrators
and Dean Carl C. Furstenberg, of.
the Medical School to point out
that more money from the Uni-
versity may be needed to provide
the "essential services' required in
the present emergency."'
The report noted that it has:
been possible to see every student
who came to the clinic. o n l y
through employment of two addi-
tional Resident physicians of the
University Hospital. Also, the Hos-
pital agreed to admit students be-
yond the capacity of Health Serv-
ice Infirmary.
Although this provision has not
proven necessary as yet, the report
made it clear that if patients are
admitted tp University Hospital,
"it will entail additional expense
to the Health Service budget. .
19 Admitted
Facts and figures included in the
report showed that 219 patients
were admitted to the infirmary as
compared to 113 for the same
period a year ago. From Monday
through Thursday of this week
the averagenumber of patients
at 7 a.m. in .the Infirmary has
been 43, as compared to 22 for
the same period of time a year
ago." This is in a capacity of 56
beds.
Dr. Beckett said there is still no
word on preventive vaccine.
WARSAW, Poland () - Com-
bined forces of Polish Red police,
security troops and militia men
from workers ranks fought down
a new student uprising for freedom
here last night.
The students, still apparently
unta'med, taunted the antiriot
forces with shouts of: "Gestapo,
gestapo.'
The forces used clubs and tear
gas and noise bombs as the vio-
lence spread beyond the student
sphere to Poles of other ranks.
Second Night
They broke up groups of stu-
dents at the Warsaw Polytechnic
school for the second straight night
and smashed a demonstration out-
side, the Communist party ad
commtteewas reported in emer-
gency session.
People from other walks of life
joined the milling crowds after
the first police assault on students.
The steel-helmeted riot police
first released tear gas \grenades
to break up taunting students
groups, then wielded rubber trun-
cheons on individual students
trapped in courtyards and other
refuges.
Police on Guard
Black-capped security police
patrolled key points throughout
the city as the students gathered
in the Polytechnic great hall for
last night's meeting.
Despite threats of punishment,
the students massed again, to pro-
test suppressipn of the student
newspaper, "Pro Prostu," and the
Tough treatment police gave them
at their first rally Thursday night.
The paper has been harsh in criti-
cizing recent Communist party
and government policy.
Truckloads of steehelmeted
factory-militia, carrying clubs,
poured to strategic spots in the
city to back up the Communist
police.
Wi7est Delays
Resolution
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. (P)-
The Western Powers yesterday
held back a resolution endorsing
their disarmament proposals so
they could get the broadest pos-
sible bacing before submitting it
to the UN General Assembly. d
Some informed diplomats had
predicted it would be handed in
here yesterday. But a United States
source told a reporter it would be
delayed till Monday at the earliest
to give a few prospective sponsors
time to get instructions from home
enabling them to sign it.
He said it would have "in the
neighborhood of 20" sponsors cov-
ering a wide geographical range.
That would constitute almost a
quarter of the '82 delegations sit-
ting in the Assembly. But the reso-
lution would need a two-thirds
vote for final passage.
India, Japan and the Soviet
Union have in rival resolutions
that would have the Assembly
call for suspension of nuclear tests,
subject to inspection but prior to
actual disarmament.

TENTH DAY:
Arkansas
Remains
Peaceful'
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - The
white student body, of Central
High School yesterday quietly ad-
mitted nine Negroes into their
midst for a 10th day of integrated
education.
Gone were the outward signs of.
teen-aged restlessness that built
up all week and reached a climax
in Thursday's walkout of 75 anti-
integrationist white students.
The demonstration was an ad-
mitted failure and there was no
attempt yesterday to push it fur-
ther.
Suspended
The demonstrators were sus-
pended for three days. Neverthe-
less, attendance was reported at
1,725 out of the maximum 2;000,
only 58 below Wednesday't peak
figure.
There was silence, too, on the
political fron#.
Gov. Orval Faubus, storm cen-
ter of one of the greatest South-
ern crises since reconstruction
days, had nothing to say to re'-
porters who met him on his way
to his office.
Ike Stands Firm
President Dwight D. Eisenhower
apparently stood on his mandate
to Gov. Faubus issued earlier in
the week. The White House de-
manded that Gov. Faubus un-
equivocally guarantee law and or-
der in Little Rock and pledge no
further obstruction to the first
integration. program in the' city's
history.
In return, the President said,
he will withdraw regular Army
troops from Little Rock and turn
back ' to Faubus the federalized
Arkansas National Guard.
Sixteen rifle - carrying guards-
men escorted the nine Negroes
half way across the campus yes-
terday morning. There four para-
troop regulars met them and es-
corted the youngsters through the
main ehtranceq
As usual, about 100 white stu-
dents lounged on the steps lead-
ing to the entrance, awaiting the
opening class bell. Thursday and
the day before, they hooted and
jeered the Negroes, and e v e n
sought mildly to block their en-
try.

Girard Says
He Lured,

MAEBASHI, Japan (P) - Wil-
liam S. Girard told a, surprised
judge today there was no mistake
in a fellow soldier's statement
that Girard lured a Japanese wo-
man brass picker into firing range
Sand shot her.
A few minutes later, however,
Girard denied he was ever in a
foxhole with Specialist Victor
Nickel last Jan. 30 when Girard
shot and killed Mrs. Naka Sakai.
Judge Yuzo Kawachi was open-
ly upset by Girard's statements.
Nickel's statement, made last
week at an outdoor session of the
court at the firing range death
scene, was read in court yester-
day.
It said Girard stood up from
the foxhole they occupied, called
to Mrs. Sakai and waved her to-
ward him before shooting at her.
The statement said Girard fired
at another brass picker before
calling to Mrs. Sakai.
Nickel also said that after the
killing Girard suggested moving
the machine gun they were guard-
ing and that Nickel moved it
about 25 feet farther away from
where Mrs. Sakai lay.

opponents.
In the final count, 1,208 widely
cheering delegates voted for Hof-
fa, 313 for William A. Lee and
140 for Thomas J. Hagger'ty.
Lee and Haggerty, both from
Chicago, had campaigned for a
cleanup of the corruption condi-
tions charged to the union.
The delegates thus chose to ig-
nore the charges against Hoffa,
retiring union President Dave
Beck and other Teamsters bosses.
They had been accused of help-
ing themselves to vast sums from
the union's rich treasury and
abusing union powers.
The charges against Hoffa in-
cluded associating with known
hoodlums and racketeers.
Hoffa, denying the charges 'as
a smear, said he and the Team-
sters U n io n ."have just come
through the most vicious attack

experienced. Never in history has
so much outside effort been ex-
erted on the internal affairs of a

WASHINGTON (P) -Sen Har-
ry Byrd (D-Va.) said yesterday
the Army has rejected his request
for a copy of the "stepped-up riot
training" order issued the dayaft-
er federal troops were sent to,
Little Rock..
The Army canceled the order
the next day and has refused to
make it public. Generally, it
alerted Army forces in the South
to step up training for riot duty.
Sen. Byrd, .second-r a n k i n g
Democrat on the Armed Services
Committee, said he was "shocked
and amazed" at Secretary of the
Army Wilmer Brucker's denial of
his request for a copy of the or-
der.
'Brucker said in a letter to Byrd:
that release of the requested doc-
ument was governed by principles
set forth by President Dwight D.
Eisenhower during the Army-
McCarthy hearings, three years
ago.
First Launching
The Moscowannouncement said:
"The successful launching of the
first man-made satellite makes a
tremendous contribution to the
treasure house of world science
and culture .. .
"Artificial earth satellites will
pave the way for space travel and.
it seems that the present genera-
tion will witness how the freed
and conscious labor of the people
of the new ;,Socialist society turns
even the most daring of iman's
dreams in to reality ...
Now Revolving
In a special bulletin early this
morning, the Soviet Tass agency
said the Russian moon "is now
revolving around the earth at the
rate of one circuit every hour and
35 ,minutes."
The launching occurred just
three months and four days after
the opening of the International
Geophysical Year.
Moscow reported the satellite
can be seen with the simplest kind
of telescope glasses. Its velocity
,was given as something like five
miles per second at a height of
about 560 miles above the earth.
To Launch More
The broadcast saidthe Russians
plan to launch several more earth
satellites in the next year. It
declared the developments will
open a way for travel to the
planets.
Moscow said the satellite is fit-
ted with steel radio transmitters
continuously sending signals earth-
ward on the 15 and 7.5 meter wave
lengths and easily received by a
broad range of amateur sets.
Its announced weight of about
185 pounds is more than eight
times the weight of a projected
U.S. earth satellite.
