U. N. Assigns
Case tOCOngO

LEOPOLDVILLE, the Congo
Nov. Is CAP).-The United Ma
lions command today aban-
doned its plan to disarm the
Hindu Congolese Army mutt
neers who slaughtered IL
Italian airmen and handed the
Congo government tie task Of
Furnishing the murderers.
DR.. Sture Inner, head Of
the United Nations Congo oper-
alton, suggested in a letter tc
Premier Cyrille Aooula that
the Leopoldville government
round up the troops which
killed and dismembered the
bodies of the Italians two
weeks ago and bring them tc
the capital for inter- ogatior
and punishment.
DR.. Inner said it now APP
peared "inopportune" for tine
United Nations to attempt tc
disarm the entire 2,000-man
Congo garrison at the Kiu6u
Airport where the butchery
took place.
DR.. Inner said the only pur.
pose in disarming the troop;
would have been to allow an in,
veStigation to find the slayers.
Guilty Units known"
He noted Mr.. Adoula already
claims to know which unit
were guilty of the massacre.
In an earlier letter Mr.
Adoula had cited two units o.
about 20 men known by TIT
government to have been re.
sponsible for the summar!
shooting of the United Nationi
airmen. and their Subsequen
dismemberment.
! The exchange of letters wa
announced by the United Ma
lions spokesman.
Though agreeing with tn
United Nations on the necessit.
/ to punish the mutinous troops
Mr. Adoula announced he coulC
not go along with impractical
plans to diSarm the entiru
Hindu region. He insisted tn,
CongoleSe government is itsel
capable of roofing out the guilt.
and bringing them to justice.
/ After detailed consultation
with Secretary General I
Thant in New York, the United
Nations accepted Mr.. Adoula'
admonition. But it renewed it
request for a joint CongoleSe
United Nations investigating
commission. a commission MI
Adoula had said was un
necessary.
The world body has alread
appointed five members to thi
commission, while the Congo
lese government has not ap
pointed any.
Action Held Up
United Nations troops hal
gathered at Hindu Airpor
ready for an announced punt
tive action. But beset by com
mand difficulties and tn
problem of sealing off a wild
area of thick husband, thi
action never got off the ground
DR.. Inner also asked MI
Adoula to submit to hin
the government report whicl
named the army units said t
have committed the slayings
Mr.. Adoula has told parliamen
that the report cleared Lumum
Dist leader Antoine Gizenga
who earlier was suspected O
having been in the Hindu are
shortly before the troop
mutinied.

generally have had no formal

The petition charged that the
beard of supervisors has re-
fused to appropriate the money
because of "itS resolution rot
to appropriate money for the
operation and maintenance of
public free schools wherein
white and colored children are
taught together"
Federal District Judge Oren
r. Lewis recently ruled out
public tuition grants for private
schools as long as the public
schools are closed in Prince
Edward.
Judge Lewis declined to say
whether the supervisors could
be required to appropriate
money for public schools
He said the final answer to
that question requires the in
depreciation of perhaps several
sections" of the State consti-
tuition. and gave attorneys in
the case so days to bring suit
in the State Supreme Court to
determine the answer.

said. The Black Muslims were

preached hatred of the white
race.

Stanley 1. Bregman asserted
that the Black Muslims were
denied the right to practice
their religion "in the name OF

Federal Judge Albert v.
Bryan previously had dismissed
the petition on the ground
that it related to the internal
affairs and discipline of the
reformatory. The 4th Circuit
Court of Appeals later ruled
that the petition alleged
enough to justify a hearing
and returned the case to Alex

Judgeship

The Commissioners Traffic
Co-ordinating Committee to-
day backed a proposal for
creation of a permanent traffic
court judgeShip at the Dis
trict's Municipal Court.
Chairman Charles S. Nc
Weigh, assistant Engineer Com
missioner, said the permanent
judgeship would provide con-
tinuity in the traffic court post
now handled in rotation by
Municipal Courts 16 judges.
Earlier, the Citizens Traffic
Board called for a permanent
judgeship with a 10-year term.
The co-ordinating committee
today supported this proposal
but recommended that the
judges term be set instead at
three years.
Improvement Seen
Col. MacVeigh said the three
year term would be consider
able improvement over the pres
ent rotation system, but would
not be so long that the Traffic
Court judge would ecom e
"Stale."
He said a full-time judge
would curb any possibility
that offending motorists might
try to shop around" in an ap-
parent search for easier treat
ment by a different judge.
While the Traffic Court as
Signment currently is officially
handled in rotation, Judge An
drew J. Howard, jr.. has been
serving in the post almost con-
tinually since last october.
No Criticism Intended
Col. MacVeigh made it clear
that the proposal for a perma-
nent Traffic Court judgeship
was an administrative proposal
only that should not be taken
as any criticism of Judge How
ards handling of the job.
The Traffic Co-ordinating
Committee, in today's action,
said it would support the traf-
fic board in asking the Com
missioners to seek presidential
appointment Of a permanent
traffic court Judge.
Col. MacVeigh said the CO.
ordinating committee indi-
Gated interest in a proposal for
required physical examinations
for learners and older motor
lists. The Citizens Traffic
Board is studying this pro-
posal.
At today's meeting Police
Inspector Lewis Peters told the
co-ordinating committee that
taxi drivers already are le-
quired to take physical exami-
nations.

First Rocket Is Fired
Into Space by Israel

JERUSALEM, July 5 (AP).-
Israel fired its first successful
rocket into space today, the gov

The rocket, a meteorological

mean. The government said the
firing was "a complete success. !"

from the Mediterranean shore.
The rocket was planned, built
and fired by a crew of Israeli
scientists and technicians. The
purposes of the experiment were
achieved"

the firing was witnessed by
Premier David Ben Gurion and
other officials.

The purpose Of the expert

spokesmen said.
The rocket, the "Shavit H.

pellant fuel developed in Israel.
Shavit II is multi-staged,
but official sources declined to
say exactly how many stages
it has.
\ It weighs from $50 to $50
pounds and is capable Of reach
ing a maximum altitude of so

The final stage Of the rocket
exploded a cloud Of sodium at
its maximum height, enabling
scientists to determine prevail
ing conditions at that altitude.
Spokesman said the rocket
did not contain radio transmit

Israel is the seventh country
to send a meteorological rocket
into space. The others are the
United States, the Soviet Union,
France, Britain, Italy and
Japan.
None Of the Arab countries
are believed near a similar

JobIess Total.
To Be Raised
By Students
BY the Associated Press

The Government is expected
to report today a Jump in un-
employment Of at least a half
million due largely to a record
surge of teen-agers into the
labor force.
The flood of job hunting
youngsters, including an un-
precedented number of high
school and college graduates
seeking permanent work, was
due to send soaring both the
employment and unemployment
totals for June.
Officials previously had said
that "if only seasonal factors
were operating the May idle
total Of 4,768,000 would rise to
about SIS million in June with
accompanying large increases
both in the total labor force
and in the number working at
jobs.
The outpouring of youngsters
from schools hunting tempo
rary or permanent jobs is an
annual problem in the job mar
ket-but it is greater than ever
this year.
