Close Scrutiny Of New High gh Court Judge

WASHINGTON, LR - Judge Potter Stewart of Cincinnati, whose appointment to the U. s. Supreme Court was announced Tuesday, probably will undergo unusually close Senate scrutiny into his legal philosophy.
 This is not because of the man, but because of the times.
 Stewards selection by President Eisenhower to succeed retiring Justice Harold H. Burton, also from Ohio, comes at a time when the Supreme Court has become a major center of controversy. Its rulings \ on school segregation have been denounced in some quarters, while others have cri- ticized it's findings in Communist cases. . ..-.
 The appointment was an nounced less than A hours after the disclosure that Burton was retiring on the advice of his phy- sicians.
 Stewart, a 43-year-old Repub- ican, now is a judge of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. Eisen- hover appointed him to that po- sition in April, 1854.
 Under recess appointment, Stewart will be able to take his place on the nations highest tri- bunal immediately after Burton's retirement becomes effective next Monday.
 When Congress reconvenes in January, his nomination to the $33,000-a-year lifetime post will be sent to the Senate for confir- nation.
 The new appointee told ques- tioning newsmen Tuesday that as circuit judge he has had a part in deciding only one school seg- regation case LII an Ohio dispute where the court ruled for prompt integration.

Quemoy Blockade Broken, Says U. s. Advisor
By SPENCER MOOSA

TAIPEI, Formosa, R - A top American military adviser to Ma tionalist China said to day the Quemoy blockade has been brok- en with vastly improved air and sea supply system that will work even if firing is renewed.
 Unless the Communists order a 24-hour barrage, I don't think they can stop conveys from going through" Brig. Gen. Lester Bork told neWSmen.
 There were mounting indica- tions that warships of the U. s. 7th Fleet have stopped escorting conveys to Quemoy for the rest of the Communist cease-fire, due to run through next Sunday.
 Bork said neither Communist artillery attacks on Quemoy nor Nationalist counterfire has been particularly effective. The Army chief of the U. s. military advis- ory detachment added that the Ma tionalists should show improve ment soon under a new artillery commander.
 Bork and his staff made a 13- hour inspection of the Quemoy islands off the China Coast Tues day.
 Troop and civilian morale Is excellent, they concluded. Dam age and casualties have been light.
 An unescorted Chinese Nation alist landing ship put tons of am- munition and 450 troop replace ments ashore on Quemoy today, the third day of the cease-fire. The captain said his ship "came alone" on the supply run from the PescadoreS.
 His crewmen told AP Cores pondent Gene Kramer on Quemoy that they did not see any accom- panying ". s. Warships on the 85- mile voyage.
 The Nationahsts said large quantities of supplies were pour ing into Quemoy. The Commu- nists had said they would hold up their artillery attack for a week provided American escort ing of conveys ceased.

SOviets Want
 Test Suspension Talks First In JUN.

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y, R - The Soviet Union called on the U.N.'s political committee to- day to give top priority to the question of suspending nuclear tests. The United States imme- diately challenged the Soviet move.
 Ambassador Henry c a b t Lodge proposed that the 81-na- tion committee begin it's work with comprehensive discussion on disarmament. He suggested that the suspension of nuclear tests be taken up as part of the broader debate.
 The Soviet proposal was made by Deputy Foreign Minister Val erian Zorin It was foreshadowed yesterday when Foreign Minister Andrei A. Gromyko threatened at a news conference to match the United States and Britain blast for blast on all tests since last March 31.
 Zorin took note of the forth coming Geneva talks scheduled to begin October 31 on the ques- ton of suspending weapons tests. He pointed out, however, that these talks included only the United States, the Soviet Union and Britaing
 Zorin declared all members of the JUN. had vital interest in the nuclear tests and, for this reason, should be given an oppor- tunity to express their views in advance of the Geneva talks.
 Lodge rejected what he inter preted as an insinuation that the Western powers might try to stall agreement in Geneva
 ''President Eisenhower h made, it abundantly clear" he said, "how anxious we are to reach agreement on suspension of tests"
 Zorin objected to the idea of Jumping the whole disarmament debate together. He agreed, how ever, that other disarmament is sues should be taken up imme- discussion.

Project Man High Balloon Launched
By STEVE LOWELL

ALMAGORDO, N. M., R - A huge helium-filled plastic balloon rose majestically from the New Mexico desert at $50 am. today carrying young military scien- tist on a flight aimed at the strat- osphere.
 It. Clifton Mcclure, 25-year- old jet pilot, was sealed into the gondola of the balloon.
 A launching attempt failed Tuesday morning when a ground wind whipped the big three-mil- lion-cubic-foot Project Man High balloon as it was being filled with gas. It finally was destroyed. A substitute balloon was used today.
 Officials estimated it would take two to three hours for him to reach the altitude goal of 100000 feet where he hopes to remain for 24 hours.
 He will serve as the eyes and hands of panel of scientists on the ground who will question him about his observations during the long flight.
 Weather conditions were such that officials figured he would drift eastward from Almagordo, then back over the missile range about sunset.

 His heart weakened, and his doctors had little hope that he could survive.
 The second stroke came this morning, two days after the first.
 A high Vatican official ad- mitted to the bedchamber about noon said the Pontiff was unable to speak, but gestured feebly with his right hand.
 Heightening the emotional ten sion were false reports that the Pope had died this morning. The Italian News Agency Italia issued one such report. The Vatican of ficially denied it.

Integration to be Given Test = At Pocketbook Level
By The Associated Press

A nationwide test of senti- ment - at the pocketbook level - of private schools as means of preserving segregation was in the, making today. Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus seeking to establish all-white private high schools in Little Rock, soon will send out thousands of letters ap- pealing for funds.
 He said the letters, written on the governors stationery, will go to people all over the nation who have written or telegraphed com mendation of his pro-segregation stand.
 They will promise a pro rata refund of any unused contribu- tions should the state, now en- joined by federal court decree, be able later to provide money for the purpose.
 Meantime, four Anderson Coun- ty, Tenn, school officials arrived in Washington to take directly to the White House problems arising from the devastating bombing of their integrated Clin- ton High School.
 In Harrisonburg, Va, the first court attack began on a Virginia law closing schools to thwart in- tegration. Negro plaintiffs went before U. s. Judge John Paul, seeking orders to reopen the Warren County High School at Front Royal and an elementary and a high school at Charlottes- vile.

Mr.. Goldstein promised the

that the Legislative Council on

the University Of Maryland.
The service, TO be paid for

a prime objective Of the league
in this election year.

Both Mr.. Goldstein and Mr..
Tawes put themselves squarely
behind the proposal.
Mr.. Goldstein. who Is presi-
dent Of the State Senate. also
voiced opposition to any
changes In the present method
Of distributing State funds 10
the counties and municipalities,
He accused the Republicans
Of planning TO wreck the pro-
gram. He said the q. o. p,
platform calls for repeating the
so-called Sherbow distribution
laws and for, forcing the
municipalities to raise the
funds on their own.
A controversial subject in the
State legislature for some time
the distribution formulas were
studied last year by q COM
mittee headed by Senator

mended certain changes and
proposed that further studies
be made. ts.

He specifically said that ir
1894 the Republicans promised
a 50 auto tag but did moi
produce 1t and in 1850 promised
to repeal the sales tax. The
repeal did not come. he pointed
out.
Mr.. Tawes predicted that by
the mid-l960s the Baltimore.
Washington area would be
''one giant metropolitan area
covering nearly 1000 square
miles and having a population
of nearly 5 million people.
"The increasing urbanization
of the State, will inevitably re-

said. II, for one, would be
loath to see this trend carried

The SUPERNATURAL candidate
