that the life of one commits
sioner has been threatened" the
commissioners said.
w. j. Snow was identified by
City Clerk r. d. Writing as the
city commissioner threatened.
Police said the threat-men-
toned in preamble to the new
ordinance-was made by tele-
phone. Mr.. Snow. asked about
it by newsmen, would say Moth
ing.
The new ordinance was adopted
without discussion in a public
session. 1t came eight days after
the dismissal of a suit in Federal
Court at Miami in which nine
Negroes sought use of the ia
cilities.
The city previously has had no
law to prevent the "intermingling
OF the Negro and white races,
the commission noted. This was
the basis for dismissing the suit
brought in the Federal Court be-
fore Judge Emett Choate May 10,
Representatives of the city told
the judge then that "the public
beaches always have been open
to all people regardless of color.
Little tension had been noted
in this South Florida town of
some $500 persons-including
about 1000 Negroes-before the
suit was brought. -Four Negro
men sunbathed on one section of
the beach two days after the de-
cision without incident.
But a group of about 20 Me-
groes went to the beach last Sum-
day and met a group of whites Of
about equal size. They argued
several minutes before policemen
dispersed them. There was no
violence and no arrests were
made.
Penalty for violating the law
was set at up to $500 fine and
up to 80 days in Jail.

Sweeping g Changes Proposed in VA
 Veterans Program

WASHINGTON, R-Veterans' pensions would be tied in with social security payments and grad ually eliminated under a proposal offered yesterday by President EisenhoWer's Commission on Vet erans' benefits.
 The proposal was one of TO made to the President in a lengthy report which, if adopted, would greatly change the benefit pro- gram now covering the nations 22 million veterans.
 The recommended changes in- Volve CT insurance, disability compensation, survivor benefits, widows pensions, readjustment benefits, Veterans Administration structure, discharge benefits, GI loan privileges and servicemen's benefits.
 The commission was headed by retired Gen. Omar N. Bradley and spent more than a year studying the veterans program. Bradley formerly headed the VA.
 The proposals apparently would lower or cut out many of the pay ments now being made to veter- ans, serVicemen and survivors.
 The proposals are bound to stil up controversy because they con- flict sharply with the benefit pro- grams advocated by various vet erans' organizations.

3,OOo-Mile-Long Dew Line To Be
 Extended l,5OO Miles In Aleutians

400 million dollar cost of the 3,000-mile sector of the warning system, this seems modest.
 The Aleutian extension, says the Air Force, is being substituted for some of the Navy picket ships (and presumably picket planes) originally planned to provide radar eoverage at the western flank.
 Dewline is not defensive line. Enemy bombers can't be shot down with mere radar beams. When completed, it can do no more than report that hostile air craft are on the way toward the south and give some indication of their course, speed and numbers.
 Except in a minor and indirect way, it will be of only slight help in directing interceptor planes of the US. and Canadian air defense to points where they could meet and engage hostile bomber formations.

400 Children Harass Police Headquarters At St. Joseph, Mo.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo, R - Some 400 children Friday night upset a juvenile program designed to create respect of law enforce ment.
 The kids went to police head quarters for a scheduled lecture by Edward C. Burke, assistant chief of detectives, but became restless and finally so noisy Burke cut short his talk. The children took over the elevator, tied up phones and generally worried the few officers on duty.
 The series of program, Know Your POliceman," will not be re- sumed until larger quarters are available.

By ELTON C. FAY

WASHINGTON, R - T h e United States has decided that the already far-flung 3,000-mile long distant early warning line OeW Line) now building won't be long enough.
 So the Air Force is adding an other 1,500 miles to extend the polar electronic sentry path far out on the storm-cloaked Aleutian Island chain which touches the international boundary with So- viet Russia.
 When the whole, vast, costly system - designed to trigger off alarm of Russian H-bombers - is done a year or two from now 1t will:
 l. Reach from a point actually located in the Eastern Hemisphere slightly west and somewhat south of RuSsia's airdrome dotted Si berian Peninsula, along a 5000 mile route which incorporates an existing early warning system, and thence eastward along the vicinity of the roth parallel to Baffin Bay. The next land beyond Baffin Bay is Denmark's Green land, where the United States has big airdromes.
 2. When operating, the distant early warning line should provide the US. Air Defense Command and the Civil Defense organiza- tions between four and six hours warning of attack by Soviet air craft taking off from bases in northern Eurasia. This time inter val is based on the subsonic speed of existing jet bombers.
 Last week a letter from Air Secretary Donald A. Quarles to chairman Russell D-Ga of the Senate Committee said the Air Force proposed that the westward extension along the Aleutian chain be undertaken without de- law" He said it would be vital nart of our warning system" He estimated the cost at 69 million dollars.

Russian Leaders
 Look Over British Atomic Research

MAXWELL, England, R- Nix ita Khrushchev and Nikolai Bull ganin looked over Britain's liar well atomic research headquar- ters Saturday-and ran right into tricky question from a straight talking IriShman named Nc Carthy.
 The Soviet leaders, accom- panied by their top atomic scien- tist Igor Kurchatov, drove in a 20-car convoy through the sun- bathed English countryside to this sprawling atom station in the heart of Oxfordshire.
 First call was an atomic pile named "Bepo" - housed in a building like an aircraft hangar.
 Just inside the door stood Vim cent Mccarthy, 35 year-old en- gineer. Bulganin and Khrushchev were introduced to him as a rep resentative of the atom plant workers.
 After the handshakes Mccarthy said:
 "I am a practicing Roman Cath ollie. In view of the apparent change of heart in the Soviet gov ernment when can we expect the Soviet Union to reach the point of withstanding criticism from free trade unions and religious denominations"
 An interpreter put the question to Khrushchev.
 If we start criticizing each other we shall not get anywhere. We don't want to compete in this field. We should like to compete in showing good will and that will improve friendship"
 Then he grabbed McCarthy's hand and pumped it vigorously. Bulganin looked on smilingly.
 Inside HarWeu the British are working on experiments aimed at controlling the massive power of the H-bomb.
 This work is top secret and the Russians saw none of it, but spokesman told newsmen these experiments have now passed from the theoretical state into practical fields.
