said he never did any business

Blue Scout Fired
In InSpuce-RuyTe Test

POINT ARGUELLO, Calf.
Dec. 4 (AP).-A 40-foot Blue
Scout solid-fuel rocket roared
into the sky today with a 49,
pound package of instruments
to measure dangerous radiation
in space.
Shortly after the launching,
the Air Force said all four
stages of the rocket appeared
to have fired as planned.
It was aimed at a point over
the South Pole some 27.6oO
miles out in space-a journey
the Air Force said would take
about six hours. The saucer
shaped payload was expected to
fall back into the atmosphere
and burn up about IL hours
after the launching.
1t was the first launching of
a Blue Scout over the Pacific
missile range
Besides instruments designed
to measure low-energy protons
originating from the sun, the
payload includes a new tele-
metry system which can broad
cast signals on less power than
it takes to operate a flashlight

He said the commission

that are divisive in temper, or
that in any other respect fall

The Districts top legal Of
ficer today said the Armory
Board will insist that the Home
Builders Association of Metro
politan washington live up to
the terms Of its contract for the
1862 Home Show, setting the
stage for a legal battle over the
81 parking fee that started all
the trouble.
Both the home builders and
the Armory Board appeared to
be on the verge of suing the
other for breach of contract
this morning after Corporation
Counsel Chester H. Gray issued
an opinion that said, in effect,
the show must go on.
Mr.. Gray said he could not
agree with the home builders
that the action of the Armory
Board in imposing a 81 parking
fee constituted a breach Of con-
tract. He declared he has ad-
vised the home builders that
the Armory Board will insist
that construction organization
live up to its contract terms.
Deposit Return Refused
On his advice, the board
also rejected a request of the
Home Builders for return of
the 81 900 deposit they put up
as an advance fee for the 18th
annual Home Show. The Home
Show had been scheduled for
February, 1862, but the Home
Builders decided to abandon
the show last month because
of the 81 parking fee.
At that time, James w.
Pearson, executive vice presi-
dent of the builders, said the
association decided to cancel
because it thought the park

Chicago where he is attending
a convention. Mr.. Pearson said
today:
According to the instruc-
tions I have received from our
executive committee and board
of directors, we will not under
any circumstances stage a

Notwithstanding"
Mr.. Pearson and the Home
Builders attorney, James C.
Wilkes, would not comment
further on the Gray opinion.
But last November % Mr..
Pearson said the controversial
parking fee was tantamount
to a breach of contract on
the part Of the Armory Board.
|. Cross Suits Foreseen
Observers considered it not
unlikely that cross suits charg-
ing breach of contract by both
the Armory Board and the
Home Builders would send the
issue into court.
Representatives of other in
dustries also have asked the
board to lower the fee but
have been turned down. The
board plans to continue charg-
ing 81 to park at the Armory
until next April; then it will
decide whether it is hurting
business.
The Home Builders position
is that a show will not draw
customers who have to pay 81
to get in the armory and 81
to park there. The flower and
boat show people plan to 60

gress must determine what is
best for the common good.
With the Reciprocal Trade
Agreement Act expiring in June
Congress must decide whether
merely to extend it or grant the
administration the broader au-
thority it is expected to request
to make across-the-board tariff
adjustments.
Senator Bush argued that the
subcommittee should find out
exactly what President Ken
nedy plans to recommend be-
fore it makes any report. The
hearings which began today will

are no indications that the

ELISABETHVnLE, Katanga,
Dec. 4 (AP).-Foreign Minister
Evariste Kimba of Katanga
threatened today to shoot down
all United Nations planes flying
over this secessionist province
and Katanga troops followed up
the declaration by throwing up
roadblocks on main roads lead
ing to the airport and the U. N.
Indian troop camp.
Mr.. Kimba's threat was
termed a very grave state
ment" by Acting U. N. Chief
George Ivan Smith. who re-
ported it at once to U. N. head
quarters in New York.
Katanga troops killed one
U. N. soldier, wounded three
and seized Is as hostages
during the week end.
Today Katanga soldiers
blocked roads with tree trunks,
drums and heavy rocks. All
traffice was turned back. Two
armored cars moved up to one
road block. U. N. troops moved
up three armored cars to face
them.
Tension at Flashpoint
At an abandoned military
supply depot in Elisabethville
paratroopers dug in and took
up defensive positions. When
asked what they were doing
a staff sergeant said:
This is war with the United
Nations.
Tension between Katangans
and U. N troops is at flash
point.
In a communique last night
Mr.. Kimba said the Katanga
government had rejected an
ultimatum by the U. N. for re-
moval of all roadblocks. The
communique said the U. N. had
threatened to use force as
authorized by the Security
Council and the Katanga gov
ernment had warned in turn
that force will be met with
force" :

Of protest to Mr.. Kimba calling
for the immediate release Of
the Is U. N. military personnel.
One other man. an Italian

yesterday and said he had spent
nearly "a hours in q military
camp where he was pushed
around but not beaten UP.
In Paris, Katanga President
Noise Tshombe declared that
If U. N. forces attempt "a new
armed Intervention" in Ka-
tanga the fighting will be on
q major scale because the Ka-
tangan people are determined
tn preserve their freedom"
Mr.. Tshombe accused q. N.

the presence of foreign mer-
cenaries in Katanga because
there are no more there" He

Mr.. Tshombe is reported to
