Army Forced to Delay
Plato Missile System

anti-missile system for the de-
Tense Of key military bases and
industrial-population centers in
the United States.
The Defense Department has
refused an Army request for
$3.50 million in the next 10
months to begin production Of
Zeus components. This has set
on an inquiry, still underway
by the House Space Committee
The Army has said that II
felt the threat Of Russian mis-
siles was great enough that
production should begin even
at the risk Of changes in the
production, line later on. But
the Defense Department ruled
that 1t is too early for produc-
ton and told the Army to con-
centrate on research and de-
velopment Of Zeus.
The Plato system. which the
Army hopes to. develop one day,
would utilize the Zeus rocket
and other components end
techniques from that program
that are applicable.
The key factor influencing
the design Of Plato is the re-
quirement for transportability
This means that new mobile
radars must be developed.
The Sylvania Electric Prod
ucts Co Of Waltham, Mass. is
the prime contractor for Plato.

Atomic Plan
'Rea||y'Aiding
Peace Urged

A three-point program for
making atoms really work for
peace" was outlined yesterday
by the director general Of the
International Atomic Energy
Agency.
w. Sterling Cole warned that
his agency can hardly accom-
phsh its full purpose" unless
all nations take positive action
to use multilateral interna-
tional channels and means
with atomic energy.
He called for:
!. A central international or
ganization to handle the dis
tribution Of all foreign aid
directed ito assist the atomic
ally less advanced countries"
This would mean ending fur
ther bilateral or multilateral
agreements, he said, and avoid
"the element Of dependence
upon a single donor"
2. Control by his agency of
health and safety provisions of
all nation-to-nation arrange
ments.

ditions to govern all trade in

conditions, he said, should Sen

of these materials but at the
same time give all the world
assurance that materials dedi-
Gated to peace are not subject
to possible diversion to military
purposes"
Mr.. Cole addressed about $50
persons representing 80 organi-
cations at the annual Confer
ence Of National Organizations
in the Statler Hotel. The two

sented by this record. the pc
tition Is denied"
This comment by the court
following refusal to review O
case was unusual. Ordinarily
the court signifies 1t is granting
or denying review without fur
Their remarks.
Some lawyers specialized that
the court took this unusual &C.
ton in order to make clear
that. by refusing to review. It
was not necessarily, agreeing
that the barring Of the Negroes
was constitutional.
The Brotherhood Is the sole
bargaining agent Of the crafts.
Negroes who are members Of
the crafts may vote in selection
Of the bargaining agent but
they may not vote for ofncers
of the union since they are
barred from membership.
The Sixth Circuit Court Of
Appeals in Ohio held that the
union. as q private, unincor-
porated association, was not
required to admit Negroes. The
union Is not sufficiently in
yolved with the Federal Gov
eminent to subject It's mem
bership policies to judicial
control. the appellate court
ruled. &a

gued that the brotherhcod's

attorney who said "colored"

tional rights Of Negroes gem

1t was the first time the
court has ruled definitely on
this precise question.
Grand jury investigations will
be aided because recalcitrant
witnesses. when unable legally
to invoke the Fifth Amend
nlent because they have been
granted immunity from prose-
cukion, face summary sentenc-
Ing for criminal contempt.
Reisel Case Involved
Thus the time-consuming
procedure Of notice and hear
ing is bypassed.
The ruling upheld the Grim
inal contempt conviction and
l5Smonth sentence imposed
on Emanuel Brown, q New
York dress manufacturer.
Brown had declined to answer
questions put by O Federal
grand jury In New York and
later again asked by Federal
Judge Richard ]. Levet.
The jury's investigation os-
tensibly concerned minor vio-
lations Of transportation laws
but there were indications that
1t sctually was probing labor
racketering and the acid
binding Of Labor columnist
Victor Reisel.
Under Federal rules Grim

United in the presence Of the
Judge may be punished sum-
marty.
But If the contempt occurred
outside his presence the de-
fendant is entitled to notice
giving him time to prepare q
defense and is accorded a
full-scale hearing.
Brown was instructed by
Judge Levet to answer the
questions after the grand jury
sought the judges aid. Return
ing to the grand Jury room,
Brown again declined to an
swer. Accompanied by his law
yer, he was, brought before
Judge Levet a second time. The
judge then put the same ques-
tions to him and ordered him
to answer. When Brown re-
fused, the Judge sentenced him
to the jail term.
