In Indignation
edbyU.S.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. g.
(AP) The Justice Department
has asked for a restraining
order prohibiting St. Bernard
Parish County from accepting
white pupils who boycott de-
Segregated New Orleans public
schools.
In a motion filed in United
States District Court yesterday
by United States Attorney M.
Hepburn Many, the Govern
ment asked that St. Bernard
be enjoined from discriminate
ing between white and Negro
pupils in the operation of Par
ish schools as long as the Parish
accepts pupils from New Or
leans.
The suit also asked for an
injunction against State Educa-
ton Supt. Shelby Jackson, the
State Board of Education. and
Controller Roy P. Theriot to
prevent withholding funds from
the desegregated New Orleans
schools and instead paying the
monies to St. Bernard.
Last year when two New Or
leans schools were desegregated,
segregation leaders in st. Ber-
nard built the Arab Annex
School which was Immediately
taken over by the Parish school
board.
1896 Attend
Yesterday 396 students at
tended classes at the school,
which began its new school
term. Many we're students who
boycotted McDonogh No. 10
and William Frantz, both To-
Gated near st. Bernard and
both integrated.
The parish is the stronghold
Of arch-segregation leader Le-
ander H. Perez.
Meanwhile, a small number
of white children registered
yesterday at the six elementary
schools scheduled for desegre-
cation in New Orleans.
There were no incidents.
Police Supt. Joseph I. Giar-
russo, apparently going into
what he had previously termed
Phase II of his school program,
had about so men stationed at
each school with the buildings
sealed off. Earlier he had said
Phase II would not go into
operation until tomorrow-the
opening day Of school.
He also put the entire LOO
man force on 12-hour shifts
yeSterday-two days ahead of
his previously announced time
to increase work hours.
At McDonogh No. 10. where
white pupils staged a complete
boycott last year, one white
student registered. The school
board refused to identify the
boy, but said he was a fifth
grade student.
Requires Registering
School Supt. o. Perry Walker
said any Of the students who
withdrew from McDonogh last
fall would be required to re-
register.
Three Negro girls, promoted
from the first to the second
grade, return to McDonogh No.
10 tomorrow. They registered
at the close of school last year.
At William Frantz, the lone
Negro girl who attended classes
with fewer than 20 white chill
dren, also resumes classes to-
morrow.
The other four schools which
will receive Negro pupils-not
later than September is &C
cording to the school board
had new registrations ranging
from % at Andrew H. Wilson
to three at Judah P. Benjamin.
School Board President Louis
G. Riecke says fewer than 10
Negro children will be enrolled
at the four new schools.

Vessels Required To Display
 License Plates

Commercial fishermen are re minded that the 1861 commercial fishing regulations of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game re quire that the triangular vessel li- cense plate be displayed in prom inent place on the port side of each commercial fishing boat.
 During the 1860 season, these plates were not available but this year they are available and have been distributed. Each commercial fishing vessel owner or operator should make sure that he has li- cense plate and that it is displayed in the proper place on the boat be- fore commencing fishing opera tionS.
 This requirement of the regu- lations applies to all types of com mercial fishing vessels, including small sport-commercial outboard rigs.

An experiment was hailed as a success in Loggerheads, England. A Sunday school class was taught in a saloon-because the nearest church was too far away. The teacher, Mrs. Gladys Bennion, said: There have been no local criti- cisms, although I'm sure certain people somewhere will frown."

be put behind the development of
potentially revolutionary rocKetry for
space exploration, including the nuclear
rocket.
OF course, since the Russians are
not standing still in seeking to build
bigger and better launching vehicles of
their own, it would be silly to suppose
that we can come abreast of them in a
hurry and with ease simply by giving
NASA extra money. Even so, although
catching up with them is going to take
us some years under the best of circum-
stances, we are moving toward a time
when instruments like Centaur and
Saturn will enable the United States to
loft into the high heavens payloadS-
10 tons, 25 tons, rs tonS-incomparably
heavier and more sophisticated than any
sent up thus far. In that sense
certainly, despite the present Soviet
superiority in thrust power, we are still
very much in the race, and we will not
come out second best if we do all that
needs to be done.
Evening star., 1961-04-01

Just what is it going to
take to bring this Nation to
its senses and make us real
ize that the very best we can
expect from the Russians is
an occasional kind word or
a temporary agreement to
meet us part way on some
international crisis, created
by them?
Since the end of World War
II, the Russians have inSti-
gated problems and trouble
in all corners of the earth.
They have nibbled away at
world geography so that it's
actually heart-sickening to
examine and compare the
maps Of the free world Of
1945 and today. We do know
that on a couple Of occasions
when we called their bluff,
the Kremlin backed down.
They are no more interested
in engaging in a Third World
War than we are. However, if
we don't wake up P.D.Q., we
are going to find Nikita Khru-
shchev's program of conquest,
and his prophecy about our
children living under COM
munism, a lot closer than we
would like to think.

Something Lived Up There

Findings of three scientists have
added new evidence to the case for
life in outer space and hence have
stimulated interest in mans plans for
exploring the planets. The scientists,
analyzing the chemical composition of
meteorite that fell in France nearly a
century ago, reported their belief that
wherever this meteorite originated
something lived" 1t would seem to
follow that if something lived out there
in the dim past, something still may be
alive there today.
Some meteorites long have been
known to contain hydrocarbons char
acteriStic of life on earth. But Doctors
Bartholomew Macy and Douglas J. Hen
messy Of Fordham University and Doctor
Warren G. MeinSchein of ESQ Research
laboratories, Linden, New Jersey, have
made additional and highly significant
discoveries. They have found that one
hydrocarbon contained a chemical COM
pound related to a sex hormone and
another contained a chemical cousin"
OF choleSterol, substance blamed for
plugged arteries and some heart attacks.

remnants of living beings on another
planet, they have Speculated.
Nobody knows, of course, from what
part of space the analyzed meteorite
came. 1t fell on May IA, 1864, near
Orgueil, France, splitting into many
pieces. The fragment used in the
chemical tests was lent to the scientists
by the American Museum of Natural
History The new findings tend to
Justify the efforts of electronic engineers
to listen in on Spatial radio emissions,
with view to possible identification of
pattern that might be code devised
by intelligent beings. And they also
justify the race in which men and
nations are engaged to explore the
heavenly bodies in our own universe
and, perhaps one day, beyond.

Can the Force Do the Task?

We commend the Commissioners
for having taken a definite step toward
the elimination of noneSSential spend
ing. We hope, however, we are mistaken
in our impression that the task forces
they have appointed to produce that
result will accomplish very little.
Each of the Commissioners task
forces is composed of a private
citizen generally familiar with the
field Of activity covered by the depart
ment to be investigated; the head of
that department, and a representative
Of the Commissioners. Each of the de-
partment heads is probably on record
already as having requested more than
he has received in budget allocations.
The citizen member Of the task force
will obtain most of his factual informa-
ton from the department head. We do
not know precisely what role is to be
filled by the Commissioners representa-
tive on each task force But with this
set-up, it will be surprising if the sum
total of the task force reports does not
propose more rather than less spending.
The only task force really capable
or erecting any actual economies In
municipal spending is the Board Of Com
misSioners, acting under some mandate
of the President, Congress, or one that
is self-impoSed, to reduce operating eX-
penseS by some specified percentage or
amount. Such task force would be
even more effective, in our opinion, than
the small Hoover Commission" which
Representative AuchincloSS Of New
Jersey told the House recently he hoped
to see created by the President, to find
ways of eliminating "waste and ex-
Jravagance, and promote little more
efficiency" in running the local govern
nnent.
Perhaps the Commissioners will
move in as task force Of their own
after surveying the results of the task
forces they have just created. A task
force, composed of the House and
Senate subcommittee on District ap-
propriations, has made it rather evident
that next years budget, soon to come
under examination on the hill, will have
to be drastically reviSed-downward

Softer Line?

Compared with the pronounce
mentS that have come out of most of
its meetings since its formation in 1855,
the Warsaw Pact'S latest communique
seems almost temperate in tone, enough
so to suggest that the Kremlin may
really be interested in easing East
West tensions at this time 1t is fact,
in any case, that the communicate
which purportS to summarize the con-
cluSionS Of the tWo-day get-together
just held in Moscow by the pacts
MEMBERSHIPS relatively little fire and
birthstone in it.
True, 1t says a number of harsh and
hackneyed things against the free world.
1t accuses France, Britain and the
United States, for example, Of building
up West Germany into major hotbed
Of war danger" and it calls again for
"a peace treaty with both German
StateS"-a treaty that would demilita-
rize Berlin and make it acutely vulner-
able to an eventual Communist take
over. Moreover, with typical party-line
contempt for the truth, the communique
accuses the 'imperialiSt powers" of re-
sorting to direct military force . to
suppress the growing national liberia
tion movement in the countries of
Africa, Asia and Latin America, which
is Illustrated by the bloody outrageS of
the colonialistS in the Congo, Algeria,
Angola and Laos, as we'll as by the in
CeSSant provocations against the Cuban
Republic"
NoxiouS aS'all this is however, 1t is
substantially less bellicoSe and virulent
than similar statements put out in the
past after other meetings of the
MoScow-dominated Warsaw alliance
(NATO'S Communist rival, made up of
Albania, Bulgaria, Rumania, Hungary,
CzechoSlovakia, Poland, East Germany
and the Soviet Union.) This time, at
any rate, the communique brandisheS
no rockets, makes no direct or indirect
military threats and contains no hint
OF ultimatums. On the contrary, while
indicating that the pact's members will
increase their armed power, it aff1rms
that they want relaxation Of tensions
and "Solemnly declare that they will
continue to follow unSwervingly policy
OF peaceful coeXiStenCe and are ready at
any moment to take broad measures,
agreed upon with other states, with
view to insuring peace and security of
the peoples"
OF course, as the once burnt twice
shy free world ought to know only too
we'll by now, Soviet words are one thing
and Soviet deeds another Still, coupled
with the Kremlin's acceptance Of our
American proposal not to burden the
current session Of the United Nations
with disarmament debate, and coupled
also with its seeming inclination to
negotiate on Laos, the Warsaw Pacts
present comparative moderateneSs sug-
geStS the possibility that Premier
KhruShchev is switching to softer line
AS far as it goes, this is a welcome
development, and conceivably, or so
let US hope, 1t may help to promote
progress toward trustworthy peace.

Speed-Up in Space

The main objective of President
Kennedy'S call for more spending in
space is to accelerate the Nations effort
to catch up with the Soviet Union in the
development of big rocket engines with
truly great weightlifting capabilities.
AS Of now, although they may otherwise
lag behind us in spatial science and
technology, the Russians unquestionably
lead by wide margin in the thrust
power of their launching vehicles. That
is why they can place in orbit, or fire
toward the moon or Venus, payloadS
much heavier than ours. And that is
why, too, our country has major Job
on its hands in trying to match or excel
them in this particular.
James E. Webb, the new head of the
National Aeronautics and Space Ad-
ministration, has summed up the
matter by declaring that the United
States, as far as SuperbooSter rocket
systems are concerned, is certainly in
a stern chase Of Russian science" and
that the additional funds requested by
the President are needed to help "cloSe
the chase" Actually, the request asks
for much less than what some experts
would like to have made available, but
1t nevertheless promises to promote a
substantial speed-up Of projects designed
to give us weight lifting capacity as
good as or better than RuSSia'S At any
rate, to that end, Mr.. Kennedy has urged
Congress to increase by 11.3 per cent the
budget Of $12 billion that the EiSen-
hover administration proposed in Jan
uary for NASA's operations in the
coming fiscal year.
Out of this increase, which would
amount to $125, 10000, not less than
S78 million would be invested in an
acceleration of developmental work on
the CO version of the Saturn-a cluster
of engines with enormous thrust power
at least double that of the biggest
booster used by the Russians up to now.
The expectation is that this tremendous
American Weight-lifter, as result Of the
speed-up, will be ready for launching
in 1866 instead of 1867, two years or so
after the less powerful but nonetheless
mighty Saturn C-1 becomes operable.
Meanwhile, if Congress grants the PreSi-
dents request, NASA will use the
balance of the additional funds to
shorten by months the time still needed
to bring the Centaur into operational
status to serve as the Nations strongest
launcher until Saturn is in working
order. In addition, an extra push will

Private School Aid

The article by George w.
Oakes, The United States
Already Aids Private Schools"
in last Sundays Star is mis-
leading.
No legal principle exists
by which taxpayers, many of
whom have no children to
attend school, must support
a public school system, and
also support schools for
church groups.
He declares that aid to
such schools is given through
the Surplus Property Act of
1949. This act permits gifts
Of surplus property-no
longer usable by the Govern
ment-to nonprofit groups or
purposes such as the Red
Cross, schools, or towns,
rather than destroy the use
less property. Nothing of
value is given. II there is a
commercial demand for the
property, then the nonprofit
group must pay for it.
Under the same nonprofit
principle, Catholic schools,
worth hundreds Of thousands
of dollars, and income from
schools, are exempted from
taxes. This makes for a big
subsidy-but the principle is a
general one-the school is
nonprofit, and therefore the
payments are not required

Suffrage Skeptic

Now that the constitutional
amendment granting presi-
Dental suffrage to the citi-
zenS Of the District OF Colum-
bia has been ratified by the
States, 1t may be remarked
that its sponsors went about
1t the hard way. Currently the
simpler and more fashionable
way to amend the ConStitu-
ton is to have the Supreme
Court do it.
The practical effect Of the
new amendment will be to
give three easy and automatic
electoral votes to the Demo-

Critic to Critic

I read with dismay critic
Donald MINI review OF the
concert given by the Ameri-
can University Orchestra
tand soloiStS). Comments
such as: while amateur
orcheStraS have their virtues,
fineSse is not one of them"
or Bette NobS has not yet
developed the agility neces-
sary for a clean perform
ance," although partially
true, are SuperfluouS and
paradoXical. Is it not obvious
to virtually everyone (partic-
ularly to the amateur mu-
sician such as myself, that
amateurs often lack finesse
and agility? However, if we
played as well as profession
ais, wouldn't we be perform
ing with the finer orchestras
throughout the country? It
is precisely because most Of
us are not as yet ready for
the professional scene, that
we are playing in an amateur
organization.
If orcheStraS such as the
N. Y. Philharmonic and some
Of the finest soloiStS in the
world are often given harsh
reviews, is it not pointless
for critics to write reviews
of amateur performances b?
And, if such reviews must be
written, why not say some
thing like: Although Bette
NobS has not as yet reached
the level of most professional
concert artists, she played
with notable expression, un-
derStanding, and SenSitivity
which could, with increased
effort, lead to a promising
future" Such a comment
would be judicious while at
the same time encouraging
and encouragement is the
nourishment which motivates
amateurs to grow.
