Senate Democratic leader, dis
counted the claim Of Soviet De-
fense Minister Rodion Y. Ma
linovsky that the Russians have
solved the problem Of destroy
ing rockets in flight.
But he said no one can be
sure that the Soviets have not
made some progress in develop
ing an anti-missile missile in
their series Of high altitude

standing that atmospheric tests
are necessary to perfect such a
missile.

Senator Anderson, a member

interview he regards 1t as likely
that the United States will fire
off an above-ground explosion
relatively soon.
II think it is one of the

do" he said. II think it will
be done relatively soon because

Secretary Ribicoff explained
that rehabilitation rather than
mere aid to the needy will be
the new approach to the relief
problem.
Public welfare must be more
than a salvage operation, and
it must not be confined to pick

The cabinet officer attacked
the recent approach to the
problem at Newburgh an "un-
realistic, heartless and self
defeating. 1t is the solution
made by men who did not
bother to learn the facts before

seek to help people help them

they think of work relief.
What we have in mind is some
thing quite different, genuine

To achieve this, Secretary
Ribicoff called on Americans to

fully and vigorously" ahead by
trying new methods and new
approaches to assure that any
abuses are corrected and any

Renewed Spirit
He declared that public well
fare must be a constructive
force in society" with a posi-
tive goal Of moving people off
relief by renewing their spirit
and creating economic and So
cial opportunities for them"
Attacking the charge that
public aid weakens rather than
helps the spirit of people. the
speaker said "the files in my
office are bulging with records
showing that dependency need

show J. that children who

A slender, neatly dressed mo-

NASSAU. Bahamas. May 9
(AP).-Two Americans died on
the gallows of Nassau prison
today for the murder Of a
Florida charter boat captain.
Alvin Table. jr.. and Billy
Wayne Sees we're the first
Americans ever executed in the
Bahamas.
Table and Sees were con-
victed of Staying Capt. Angus
Boatwright, SIS, of Islamorada,
Fla. on April "a, 1860, at FL
bow Key in the Bahamas.
Stole Cruiser
Testimony at the trial showed
that Table and Sees stole a
42-foot cabin cruiser in Key
West and headed out to sea
with Tables bride Of a month,
Barbara, 18, Of San Antonio.
Tex.
They ran out of gas and the
boat drifted onto rocks and
broke up. The trio took refuge
in an abandoned lighthouse
where they remained three
days.
Capt. Boatwright and his
mate. Kent Hokanson, 20, also
of Islamorada, happened along
in their 38-foot charter boat,
Muriel III, with four passen-
gers aboard.
Sees signaled the boat. then
later swan out and boarded it.
Testimony showed he pulled a
.38 caliber revolver and or
dered Boatwright and the
others into the stern.
When Capt. Boatwright
grabbed a rifle, Sees shot and
fatally wounded him. Before
he was shot, Boatwright had
radioed the Coast Guard at
Miami that he had found two
men and a girl on Elbow Key.
Forced Party Ashore
Table and Sees forced the
mate and passengers ashore
and sped away. Tables wife
refused to go with them.
An hour later a Coast Guard
amphibian plane picked up
the abandoned party. A Cuban
gunboat overhauled Table and
Sees the following day when
the Muriel III ran aground on
an island in Cuban territorial
waters.
Cuba turned the two men
over to Bahamian authorities
for trial. Table and Sees
claimed Capt. Boatwright re-
fused to take them off Elbow
Key.
After their conviction, Table,
of Torrance, Calf, and Sees, of
Etowah, Ark, appealed to the
Privy Council in London but
this was rejected. The Bahamas

U. S. Offering NATO
5 PoIoris Submarines

pect to have the other NATO
powers blindly support Portu-
guese actions in Africa in the
United Natoins. Portugal has
been particularly bitter at the
United States for supporting
U. N. resolutions urging reforms
in Portuguese policy in Angola.
The advice which Mr.. No
guerra received was carefully
phrased. This. however. was
the underlying theme:
Most of the members of the
15-nation alliance - including
Britain and France-recognize
that the old colonial days are
gone. They believe the wise
thing to do now is to come to
terms with African nationalism
so that emerging native peoples
will stay with the Western
world.
Norwegian Foreign Minister
Halvard Lance advised the Por-
tugueSe that it was unwise to
resist what Britain's Prime
Minister Macmillan has called
."the wind of change sweeping
over Africa"
Informants quoted Mr.. Lance
as saying Norway regards An
COLA and other Portuguese over
seas territories as dependencies
as defined in the United Ma
tions Charter.
Mr.. Lance said NATO's image
before the world would be dam
aged if its members all acted
as a bloc when colonial ques-
tions arose in the United Ma
tions. This would open the
alliance to attacks, he said, as
"a defense organization for
colonialism."
The underlying philosophy of
Mr.. Lange'S statement was sup
ported by United States Secre-
tary Of State Dean Rusk.
Mr.. RuSk said it was in
NATO'S best interest to keep
seeking the friendship of Asian
and African states.
A similar generalized ap-
proach was offered by Frances
Foreign Minister, Maurice
Couve de Murville and Lord
Home of Britain.

He added that this unit should
exclude family quarters, for
which his committee could
"find little justification what
ever"
The Senate Armed Forces
Committee recommended to the
Senate that it reject a $6 mil
lion authorization for a Navy
facility at the Anacostia Air
Station in the District and $2.1
million, plus 525 Capehart hous-
ing units, for the Army at Fort
Myer, Va. The Air Force has
alerted the Senate to a proposed
request to expand housing at
Boiling Air Force Base.
Criticism in Past
1T is apparent that little
heed has been paid to the COM
mittee's desire that considera-
ton be given to providing uni
fled facilities for the needs of
all three services" Senator
Russell reported to the Senate.
THE requirements for support
of the departmental headquar-
ters of the military services has
been the subject of much dis
cussion and criticism in the
past. and the Congress has
thus far refused to go along
with unilateral programs to
meet these requirements"

complex would be more eco
nomical to maintain and less
costly to construct. The House,
however, in March went along

sion for Laos at an initial meet
ing at Hin Heup today, a Lao
tian military authority said.
This further confused the out
look for the l4-nation confer
ence on Laos due to open in

said they could not recognize

clined comment on their return

north of Vientiane. They said
they would make their report

chairman, Samar Sen.
P0stpOnement Possible
The possibility that the
Geneva conference might be
postponed was raised by rebel
objections to the arrival of the
truce commission yesterday.
The United States, Britain and
France have said they will not
take part in the conference
until the commission guaran-
tees the armistice is in effect.
Col. Sananikone said repre-
sentatives of the Communist
Pathet Lao and neutralist
Prince Souvanna Phouma even
refused a letter from the ICC
group in Vientiane to its ICC
counterpart in rebel-held Xieng
Khouang.
The colonel said the govern
ment requested another meet
ing for Wednesday and ex-
pected an answer later.
The initial refusal to Pathet
Lao-neutralist group to deal
with ICC was not seen as a
crisis. But it did add further
delay and confusion to the
situation that continues to
fluctuate under the touchy de
facto cease fire.

State Schools
U. S. Move Lost
Alternative, Lewis
Says in Richmond
BY ALEX r. PRESTON
Star Staff Writer

RICHMOND. May "a De-
partment of Justice move to
bar Virginia from spending
money on any public schools
until those of Prince Edward
County are reopened on a non-
discriminatory basis will not be
granted unless I have no other
alternative" Federal Judge
Oren r. Lewis said today.
His comment came during
arguments on a motion to
make the United States a CO.
plaintiff in a suit to reopen
Prince Edward schools which
have been closed for two years
to escape integration.
A Justice Department attor-
ney, st. John Barrett, told the
court the Government does not
desire to close any schools but
only to guarantee equal oppor-
tunity to all children under the
Fourteenth Amendment.
C0mpulsiOn Denied
The purpose Of the motion,
he explained, was to compel
the State to take steps to re-
establish public education in
Prince Edward County, where
400 white children have been
attending private classes and
l,700 Negroes have been with
out an education.
Referring specifically to the
fund prohibition part of the
Governments petition, Judge
Lewis said, I'm not sure that
the Department of Justice even
wants that in there when II
would penalize all Of the other
so counties"
Upon being assured that the
Government has no intention
Of closing schools. Judge Lewis
added.
well, If you take it out OF
there. I won't even have to
think about it.
1T will take an awful lot oi
evidence and strong law to
convince me that I ought to
do that. I won't do it unless
I have no other alternative"
Only U. S. Can Sue State
The Governments motion to
become a co-plaintiff has not
yet been acted upon. In 1t,
the Government also challenges
Virginia's tuition grant pro-
gram which makes public funds
available for education in pri-
vate schools, and Prince Ed
wards tax credit plan under
which deductions are allowed
for contributions to a private
school there.
Mr.. Barrett told the court
that the reason the Federal
Government sought to enter the
case as a co-plaintiff is that
Virginia must be made a de-
fendant If the State is to be
forced to reopen the schools.
Under the 11th Amendment,
he continued, the State cannot
be sued by a citizen but can be
sued by the United States.
