Congressman Says
It's Time US. Make
South Pole Claims

WASHINGTON, Up = A group
of congressman who visited Ant
arctica was reported today to
have recommended the United
States claim sovereignty over
part of the continent and discuss
joint administration of O n +
areas.
In formal report to the House
the subcommittee said 'We are
of the opinion that the time has
arrived for a re evaluation" Of
the position on Antarctica the
United States has maintained
since 1924. This position was that
the United States recognized no
territorial claims of other coun-
tries in the far southern continent
and made none of its own, but
reserved all its rights.
Subcommittee chairman Harris
R-ArD said today he is still not
at liberty to disclose the subcom-
mittee recommendations on ter
ritorial claims. But he said it did
not recommend and he does not
favor proposals to keep the whole
continent under international
control.

Okay After 7-Day
"Trip to the Moon
BY GARTH JONES

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, R-Air-
man Donald G.. Farrell completed
seven days in a make believe
space ship yesterday and came
out saying 81 believe anyone
could have done the same thing
Scientists at the School of Avia-
ton Medicine at Randolph Air
Force Base jubilantly agreed the
23-year-old native of the Bronx,
NY, has proved man is ready for
space flight.
Couldn't Whistle
There was one strange SEN
sation," Farrell said after a solid
week in Theoretically sealed
tank that represented the cabin
of space ship.
81 couldn't whistle"
Other than that the calm vol
unteer reported few physical or
mental discomforts on b Elm &
locked in the tank-like expert
mental space cabin. He could not
see or hear what was going on
outside.
He did not think the clustered
researchers could hear him. How
ever, it was revealed during the
tests that he could be heard by
special microphone that was re-
cording his report on paper.
Felt No Fear
Il didn't feel in the true sense
that ! was on a space ship" he
said. II realized I was on the
ground at all times. There was
no fear such as there might be
in a real space ship. Other than
that it simulated a real space
ship flight"
Space test experts explained
FarrelIs non-whistling ability
stemmed from the fact that a
simulated 18,O00-foot altitude was
maintained in the space chamber.
Farrell commented: REALLY
and truly I would like to make
a trip to the moon.
ut would be easier if there
were someone with you but that
is just my personal opinion"
When he emerged from the
3-by-5 cabin yesterday, he was
able to stretch his full 6-foot
frame for the first time in a
week. Only by shifting scientific
equipment that almost filled the
cabin was Farrell able to par
tally lie down for his Az hour
sleeping periods.

DECISION HALTING LITTLE ROCK
SCHOOL INTEGRATION Seen
POSING MOST CRITICAL new
QUESTION IN SEGREGATION AREA
City Again National And World
Symbol OF The Racial Problem
Majority Sentiment In Little Rock
Shares Desire For Breathing Spell

WASHINGTON, June 28.-Since
the 1854 and 1856 decisions de-
claring school segregation uncon-
stitutional and ordering its end
with all deliberate speed" the
Supreme Court has deliberately
steered clear of the school con-
troversy. 1t has left the complex
problems of implementing the de-
cisions to be worked out by the
lower courts.
This week, in a sudden and I'M
expected development, the most
critical question to arise in the
segregation area since 1866, was
put to the Supreme Court. The
question, stated broadly, is this:
Does local resistance to integra-
ton, eliminating in acts of vio-
lence and unrest inside the schools.
justify suspending desegregation
program already in effect so that
the schools and community may
have breathing spell?
The question was posed a week
ago today, when Federal District
Judge Harry J. Lemley handed
down his decision suspendnig the
school indignation program of Lit
tie Rock, Ark, for two and one
half years. Once again Little Rock
was a national and world symbol
of the racial problem.
Judge Lemley based his order
on "intolerable" conditions that he
found had developed inside Little
Rocks Central High School. Nine
Negro children had attended the
school under Federal military pro-
lection in the past school year after
