U. S. Pays U. N.
$40 Million

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
July 7 (AP).-The United
States paid $2O,3O2,115 to the
United Nations today as it's
share of the U. MS operating
budget for 1859.
The United States contrib
utes a little less than one-third
OF the U. MS normal operating
budget. United States officials
figured today'S check amounts
to about liz cents for every
man, woman and child in the
country.
The United States check will
enable Secretary General Dag
HammarSkjold to repay a $2.5
million loan from the U. N.
Technical Assistance Fund
made last month in order to
meet operating costs.

back to earth alive.
The first American space
travellers to be recovered were
the two monkeys Able and
Baker which a Jupiter missile
last May carried 300 miles
above the earth in an arc
which extended $500 miles out
into the Atlantic. Able died
after her return during an OPP
Grafton to recover part of an
instrument used to record her
reactions to the journey.
Reasons for Tests
Prof. Anatoli A. Dorodnitsin
writing in Izbestia. said the
animal bearing rocket was
fired to find out three things:
/. What are the chances OF
a future cosmic space ship
being hit by meteoriteS?
2. What is the intensity of
various radiations-cosmic radi-
alton and the ultraviolet and
corpuscular radiations of the
sun-that might have an in
furious effect on animal organ
isms?
3. How does animal organ
ism react to the unusual con-
ditions of cosmic flight-the
great acceleration load, the
state of weightlessnesS and in
tense radiation?

Soviet Expert
Tells Of Tests

NEW YORK, July 7 (AP).-
The Soviet rocket that carried
two dogs and a rabbit into space
has scared as high as 283 miles
without animals, a Soviet rocket
expert said.
Youri Zonov, the rocket ex-
pert at the Soviet exhibition at
the Coliseum, was able to iden-
tify the rocket by Moscow ra-
dos terse description of the
latest Soviet experiment.
The American space monkey
shot in May scared to a record
300 miles. The Moscow an
nouncement did not say how
high the Soviet rocket travelled.
Up to 1870 Miles
Mr.. Zonov said the top alti-
tude attained with animals pre-
viously was about 1870 miles.
Mr.. Zonov also said in an
interview with the New York
Herald Tribune that the ami
mails had been recovered on the
firing reservation" Such a
recovery would indicate the
rocket travelled almost straight
up and down.
The United States shots send
rockets in a curving path over
several thousand miles of ocean
water from Cape Canaveral,
Fla.
Mr.. Zonov said similar Soviet
research rockets have carried
many dogs" to study how a
man can be brought back
safely from a space flight.
Some Elected
1--WE have brought some dogs
back inside the rocket nose, "
he said. "Others were shot out
in space. Still others were
elected after the rocket re-
entered the atmosphere"
Mr.. Zonov said the animals
had worn special parachutes.
He limited that in the future
the Soviet Spaceman may be
elected from his ship after it
is slowed in the heavier at
mosphere.
The first American spaceman
is expected to ride his space
capsule all the way to the
ground.

lite" the Judge said.
do I have to stand here
and accept that, or am I per-
mitted TO make some observa-
tions?" Mr.. Chase replied.
"You are not permitted to
make any observations" Judge
Matthews said.
Deliberated 6 Hours
Mr.. Mack, a former member
OF the Federal Communica-
tons Commission, and Mr..
Whiteside, a wealthy Miami
attorney, are accused of con-
spring to rig a four-wav con-
test for Miami's TV Channel 10
in favor Of Public Service Tele-
vision, Inc, a National Airlines
subsidiary.
Starting last Wednesday, the
jury had deliberated for almost
six hours when Mr.. Carroll be-
came i'll. Attorneys for both
Mr.. Mack and Mr.. Whiteside
then agreed to go ahead with
the remaining five men and
six women jurors in order to
speed up the deliberations.
However, Mr.. Chase withdrew
from this agreement with the
permission of Judge Matthews
when the judge announced the
jury had sent in an inquiry.
The panel, just before Mr..
Carroll was reported i'll, had
asked if it could see certain
documents and portions of the
trial transcript.
This morning, with all IL
jurors again present, the judge
asked the lawyers what posi-
ton they took on this jury
request.
Both Arthur Hillard and
Richard Hunt, attorneys for
Mr.. Whiteside, said they
thought the jury should see
all or nothing, and Justice De-
partment j. Frank Cunning
ham went along with this posi-
ton.

Two Indicted
In u. ). Thefts

Two men who, police said,
had been helping themselves
to business machines in pri-
vate and Government Office
buildings for six months, were
indicted on theft charges by
a District grand jury yester-
day.
According to FBI agents,
Lecount Mark Anthony Skin
ner, "a. of the 300 block of
L street NV. and Arvid w.
upstairs" Broadus, 80, of the
1900 block of New Jersey
avenue NV. had taken thou
sands of dollars worth of
machines from Offices, boldly
walking in for their loot in
broad daylight.
The in die m ut handed
down yesterday charges them
with taking more than $4,000
from seven Government Offices
and four private concerns. In
cluded are seven counts of
theft of Government property
and four counts of grand
larceny.
Assistant United States At
torney Frederick Smithson
said an average of Is or 20
FBI agents worked on investi-
cation of the case, starting
about the first of the year. He
said the two men were stopped
on a number of occasions by
Federal employees, only to ex-
plain that they we're carrying
machines to other Office in a
Federal building.
Mr.. Smithson said the pair
sold the machines-some of
them valued as high as $500
to private business concerns,
in some cases explaining they
we're numbers operators going
out of business.
Agencies which were robbed
included the Agriculture De-
partment, the Federal Trade
Commission, the Department
of Health, Education and We'll
fare and the Securities and
Exchange Commission.

Mr.. Lewis, 46, was fatally in
jured in st. Paul when a Is
pound steel pulley fell IS feet,
striking him on the head and

side resumed deliberations here
today over the protest of Mr.
Mack's lawyer.
The proceedings were pune
tuated by a sharp exchange be-
tween the presiding Judge and

Reds Call Dogs Space Flight
BieStep Toward Trip byMon

MOSCOW, July 7 (AP).-
Russia claims the flying me-
hagerie she lobbed into space
last week is the most powerful
single-stage rocket yet sent up
from either side Of the Iron
Curtain.
A leading Soviet scientist
hailed the Russian feat of re-
covering the two dogs and a
rabbit safely after their flight
as IAN important step in solv-
ing the problem of space flight
by men,"
1T won't be long now before
we see people flying into
space" declared DR.. Grigory
Khrushc hev, corresponding
member of the USSR Academy
of Sciences over Moscow Radio.
Moscow Radio first reported
the launching of the huge q
ton missile yesterday, four days
after it went up. The nose cone
and its passengers separated
from the propelling rocket and
parachuted back to earth, re-
turning the animals safely, the
Russians said.
Called Most Powerful
1t was not announced
whether the propelling rocket
had gone into orbit around the
earth or whether it had burned
up on returning to the earth's
atmosphere.
The Soviet announcements
did not give details of the rocket
but a commentator on Moscow
radio said:
ut is the most powerful sim
gle-stage cosmic rocket sent up
so far. 1t is much stronger than
anything the Americans have"
The earth satellites which the
Russians and the Americans
have sent farther out into space
have been powered by multi
stage rockets. These are made
up of several rockets, usually
three. AS one rockets forward
thrust is spent, it drops off and
another fires to give the instru-
ment-carrying nose cone an ad-
ditional push.
The animals space flight and
their recovery was termed "a
new achievement for Soviet
science" by DR.. Khrushchev,
who is not known to be a rela-
ton of the Soviet premier.
Hailed as Big Success
THE flight of this rocket
with various instruments, two
dogs and a rabbit on board E.
is definitely a great success for
Soviet science and engineering"
Soviet officials did not dis
close how high the animal
bearing missile went, but Russia
previously claimed one of its
one-stage geophysical rockets
reached a record altitude of
294 miles. The Russians said
the animal shot reached a great
height.
DR.. Khrushchev said that
ballistic rockets of various range
had long been used in Russia
for scientific research.
"They furnished much valu-
able material on the upper
layers of the atmosphere, on
cosmic rays, on magnetism of
the earth and on behavior of
living organisms during coSmic
flight"
In another broadcast on Mos
cows home service, the deputy
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-07-07

Speaker Rayburn had a 20
word reioinder today to Demo-
cratic National Chairman Paul
M. Buffers demand for the
party to write more progress
Sive record in Congress.
"Mr. Butler can do the talk
ing" Mr.. Rayburn said tartly.
"We'll do the acting and make
the record. That's all I have
to say"
The Speakers remarks were
made as Republicans took glee-
full note of the feuding between
Mr.. Butler and the Democratic
leaders in Congress.
Fears Trouble
In a week end broadcast, Mr..
Butler expressed the hope that
the attitudes and policies" of
the Democratic congressional
leadership would change. He
predicted that the party would
be Sin a tough situation in
1860" unless a more progressive
record is made.
Mr.. Butler was in South Bend,
Ind, and was not available i'm
mediately for additional COM
ment on tn estorm stirred up
by his remarks.
However, some of Mr.. Buffers
associates said that his remarks
only repeated what he has been
saying over the last few months.
Speculation Cited
There was some speculation
that the Democratic leadership
was becoming concerned about
the record being made in the
current Congress and for this
reason was more allergic to
criticism from such Democratic
officials as Mr.. Butler. The
Democratic Congress also has
been under continuing Repub-
lican attack as a spending"
and a "won't-do" Congress.
Aides at the Democratic Ma
tional Committee said that the
volume of mail received there
fro mall parts Of the country
was running overwhelmingly in
favor of the progressive stand
taken by Mr.. Butler.
Representative Dorm, DEM
ocrat of South Carolina,
charged that Mr.. Butler may
be working to name new Off
GERS for the 1860 Democratic
convention and to deny some
seats to Southerners.
Mr.. Dorm, limiting that the
Democratic chairman may be
tainted with Republican lean
ings, called yesterday for Mr..
Buffers resignation.

Governor Signs
Alabama Negro
Vote Curb Law

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Nov. 20.
Bills designed to curb Negro
voter registration were signed into
law today by Gov. John Patterson.
However, the Governor with
held action on two racially in
spired measures aimed at using
state funds to put youths in pri-
vate schools as safeguard against
compulsory integration.
Some educators were said to be
urging the Governor to bypass the
two bills by pocket veto.
The approved measures give
registration boards the right to
do the following:
Use twelve days a year for cler-
ical work, thus reducing the num-
ber of days available for registra-
ton.
Spend up to twenty years in
every even-numbered year visiting
precincts in the country. Regis
trars are already required to visit
each precinct at least once in odd
numbered years.
When registration officials are
visiting a precinct, only the resi-
dents of that polictial subdivision
can apply for registration. Thus,
the board could spend all twenty
days in a precinct where white
residents predominated, and fur
ther limit the time available for
considering Negro applications.

lntegration
M owe Denied

LITTLE ROCK, Ark.-The Lit
tie Rock School Board last night
rejected another move by Negro
students to transfer into predom-
inantly white schools.
The action apparently opened
the way for court action by the
Negroes.
Ten students filed exceptions"
to the boards previous ruling in
denying them transfers from all
Negro Horace Mann High School
to Central and Hall High Schools.
Central and Hall have token in
tegration, with five Negroes at
Central and three at Hall. The
board denied the exceptions.
The 10 who filed exceptions are
among 16 Negro pupils listed on
a federal court motion asking the
court to order the board to admit
students to schools solely on the
basis of attendance areas. No
hearing date on this motion has
been set.
Herschel H. Friday, Jr., Board
lawyer, said he viewed the filing
of exceptions as simply a proceed
ural attempt by the Negroes to ex-
haust all administrative remedies
before pushing for judicial action.
At the Dollarway school district
near Pine Bluff, three Negro chill
dren took similar action when their
requests for transfer to the white
Dollarway school were refused, and
a federal court here has allowed
them to file a new complaint.
