5000 PorotrooPs Drop in Carolina,
Opening Biggest Battle Of Mock War
BY RICHARD FRYKLUND
Star Staff Writer

BENNETTSVuLE, s. c., Aug.
11.-About 5000 paratroopers
dropped on the sandy hills of
South Carolina near here today
and set off the biggest battle Of
the biggest mock war since
World War II.
The parachutists of the 101st
Airborne Division, backed up
BY other air-landed units, are
trying to cut off the 82d Air
borne Division, which was
dropped earlier this week, from
an armored column driving
down through North Carolina
to rescue an invaded coun-
try." Air Force fighters and
bombers are backing up both
sides.
! The scenario does not fit any
specific world situation, but the
soldiers and airmen taking part
are those who will be sent to
Europe this year if the Presi-
dent decides an additional
Show of force is necessary in
the Berlin crisis.
I; Seek Control
. This exercise is planned to
be a realistic test of two big
modern armies smuggling it out
Tor control of an induStrialized
country. The 101st is the ag-
gresSor here. The 82d will try
to save the mythical country of
Bolucia.
, The 82d dropped into Bolu-
ella and now is trying to Link
up with the column of friendly
forces to the north. The 101st
dropped squarely in the path
Of the S2d today.
The two divisions will have q
free-for-all during the coming
week.
Just to make sure that the
two divisions have plenty of
practice in movements, the high
brass will give first one side
and then the other extra units.
They should be surging back
and forth across many thou
sands of acres of North and
South Carolina for the rest of
the war"
Simulated A Bombs
Then the officers will get to-
gether to decide what they
learned that could be applied
to a real fight in Europe
against a well-trained and we'll
equipped enemy.
Modern weapons-from the
new MIA rifle to atomic
bombs-will be simulated in
the battle. The 101st, the
Army announced today, is the
first division to be fully equip
ped with the new NATO-
standardized rifle. The Mia
rifle will take the place of the
World War II Garand rifle, the |
carbine, Submachine gun and
Browning Automatic Rifle.
The Air Forces Tactical
Air Command will fight on
both sides. Many of the units
are Air National Guard, the
same units alerted last week
for possible early deployment
to Europe.
Army and Air Force men
here say they are taking the
lessons Of the Carolina boon
docks seriously-it might be
the real thing against a real
aggressor in a few months in
Europe.

Youths PiIfef Yacht,
ButHopes RunAground

SAN PEDRO, Calf, Aug. II
(AP). - Charles Thomasset
strolled slowly down the pier
at San Pedro Harbor to work
on his yacht, the Los Amigos.
Looking up, he saw the
white-hulled, $4,000 vessel
churning toward the harbor
entrance.
BY chance, two detectives
were investigating a boat theft
at the landing yesterday. They
notified the Coast Guard,
which informed harbor patrol

the past he was unenthusiastic
about allowing funds for some
suggested civil defense pro-
grams. He told the House he
became convinced that an ex-
panded civil defense system is
an essential part of the present
national defense structure. He
said he was confident there
would be no "boondoggle" in
the operation of the reorgan-
lied program under the De-
tense Department. g.
AS originally passed by the
House on June %, the Defense
Department appropriation bill
totaled about $42.7 billion.
Following President. Kennedy's
message late last month the
Senate voted $50 a week ago
today for a $46.8 billion total.
Extra Funds for BOmbers
The Senate gave Mr.. Ken
nedy not only all the addi-
tional amounts he requested
for strengthening the armed
forces and for civil defense but
also voted another 1928 million
to build more long range
bombers.
Senate-House conferees last
Wednesday recommended a
$46,455,5 51 900 compromise for
the armed forces during the
fiscal year which started last
July /. A majority of the House
conferees opposed the $207 6
million civil defense item voted
by the Senate last week. But
the House itself reversed its
conferees, yesterday and con-
Cured with the Senate after a
two-hour debate.
Less than an hour later the
Senate adopted the conference
report on a voice, vote after
less than IS minutes of dis
cuSSion.
Division Of Funds
The bill appropriates $11.s
billion for the Army, $14.5 bill
lion for the Navy, $18.9 for the
Air Force and the rest for the
office of the Secretary of De-
tense, in addition to the SPOT 6
million for civil defense. The
latter amount is in addition to
SOL million which Congress
earlier this year voted for civil
defense. @
The defense appropriation
bill provides money to carry
out the authorization which
Congress gave Mr.. Kennedy
earlier this month to order up
to 100000 reservists to active
duty and to extend some enlist
ment and training periods for
up to a year. The bill also in
cludes provisions regulating
private industry advertising of
weapons production and broad
ening requirements for COM
petitive bidding for defense
contracts.

In par0rd VoR,

Houston, Tex. (ANPl - Rice
university students last week voted
almost 2 to 1 in favor of integral
ing the privately endowed school.
A woman picketed the polls car
rying a Confederate flag and a
sign that read, Remember the

for a Rice election among its 1000
students, student officer said.
The election was only an opin-
ion poll. But Reed Martin, presi-

he considered it a mandate for ac-

Faculty members also voted and
approved Indignation by IS to 9.

Owens Hedges On
Re-Signing With 49ers;
More Loof SOUGHT

San Francisco (ANP) - r. c.
Owens, spectacular pass catcher
of the San Francisco 49ers, is re-
ported to be dickering with 49ers
officials on demands for a salary
increase before signing 1862 foot
ball contract with the westcoast
team.
Owens, now a free agent with
the right to sign with any team
that will meet his financial de-
mands, declared he would like to
remain with the 49ers but that he
is definitely interested in more
money. The 49ers gave Owens his
start in pro football five years ago.
THE only thing that separates
me from the 49ers is money" r. C.
said, adding, I'm going to talk
to Vic Morabito (the teams presi-
dent) within the next week or so"
IF we can agree to terms, then
I'll be back next year. If we can't,
I'll sign some place else"
Owens has pulled several games
out Of the fire for the 49ers with
his celebrated circus catches.

Inevitable XIV. u Pres.

Lexington, KY. CAMP - Frank
G. Dickey president of the Univ
ersity Of Kentucky, said last week
that he would be willing to let
Negroes play on the schools ath-
letic teams.
Dickey, calling the Indignation
more inevitable, said: TT is just a
matter of time, before Negro
players will participate in\ athletic
at Southeas tern Conference
schools.
Dickey said that 1.-The most eff
fective method of bringing about
indignation would be through a
joint movement of the SEC. univ
ersities."
Some Southern states have laws
barring competition with teams
that are integrated. Kentucky has
contracts with some Southeastern
Conference schools through 1866.
Dickey said Kentucky should not
pull out of the conference but
added:
Along with other institutions,
it will be inevitable that we in
tegrate our athletic teams as well
as other university programs"
The educators statements were

LEXINGTON, KY. HOTEL OFFICIALS
FIGHT LOSING BATTLE FOR JIMCRO

Lexington, Ky. - For the third
time in as many weeks, Negro
and white members of Lexington
CORE were carried and dragged
bodily from the Phoenix Hotel
where sit-ins were being conducted,
Spokesman for CORE stated that
the sit-ins were begun after Ne
gro members of the Boston Celtics
and St. Louis Hawks professional
basketball teams were refused
service in the Coffee Shop several
weeks ago.
Among the CORE members for
chilly elected from the premises
December was DR.. David Bron-
son, faculty member at the Epis-
copal Seminary in Lexington. DR..
Bronson and two Negro students
from the College of the Bible were
sitting in the main dining room
of the Hotel while other members
of the group staged sit-in at the
Coffee Shop. After being elected
CORE began picketing the hotel.
At 8:15 pm, Louis Armstrong
and his band arrived at the main
entrance of the Phoenix. Arm
strong, upon seeing the CORE
pickets, they refused to enter the
hotel. Armstrong had been retained
by a private group for a perform
ance in one of the bathrooms at the
hotel After conversations with
Ted Hardwicke, manager of the
Phoenix and Julia Lewis, president
of Lexington CORE, Armstrong
was advised by his manager that
a refusal to perform would subject
him to a suit for breach of con-
tract
Armstrong persisted in his re-
fusal to cross the picket line. The
CORE group indicated its SYM
pathy with Armstrong; difficult
position and disbanded the picket
line so the group could go in. Arm
strong stated, however, that if he
had known of the hotels policy, he
would have rejected the offer to
perform for the Lexington group.
Spokesman for the sponsoring or
ganization promised Armstrong
that they would not use the facil-
tiles of the Phoenix for future ac-
tiWties.
Armstrong further stated that
he had made clear his position on
racial discrimination during the
Little Rock school crisis.
Spokesman for CORE stated that
their activities at the Phoenix will
be stepped up in the coming weeks.
The hotel presently accepts only
Negroes who are members of white
groups as guests.

No Tax Collectors
Knocking On Champs
Door: Wins EaSiIV

Toronto, Canada (ANP)-Floyd
Patterson of New York apparently
has brought new financial stabili-
ty and integrity to the heavy
weight championship picture.
AS far as can be ascertained, the
26-year-old champion is not i'm
mersed in financial tax difficulties
with the Government, state or fed
eral, as had been the case with
some of the other champions.
Investing Wisely
No federal agents came knock
ing at his dressing room door fol-
lowing his eight previous title de-
lenses to hold up his purses, and
none called Monday night, Dec. 4,
when he made ambitious, but out
classed Tom McNeeley his ninth
victim.
So it can be assumed that Pat
terson's take home portion of the
S192,696 he earned from the Nc
Medley title fight will be unencum-
bered. Floyds advisers, including
Atty. Julius November, who tray
els around with him, seem to be
seeing to it that the champ meet
his tax obligations on a pay-as-
you-go basis.
A modest fellow by comparison
to most of the other champions,
Patterson resolved to protect and
invest his income wisely even be-
fore he became champion. While
in training in Chicago for the fight
that brought him the heavyweight
crown in 1855, Patterson told AS

Punches Opnonent Silly


Meanwhile, Patterson's defense
against McNeeley was a relatively
easy one. The champion used his
opponent for a human punching
bag, knocking him down eight
times before he was counted out
at Psi of the fourth round.
McNeeley had only raw courage
to match Patterson's fiery punches
and superior boxing skills. The
closest the champion came to de-
feat was when he became care
less in the fourth and got tagged
with one of McNeeley's round
house rights. Otherwise, he was in
command all the way.
WaIcOtt Referees
The third man in the ring was
former heavyweight champion Jer-
sey Joe Wolcott, who proved him
Sell " DS oil dDlS O1LlSldl' " d1-
colt said he refused to stop the
fight when McNeeley was bobbing
up and down off the canvas be-
cause he felt too much was at
stake. Walcott probably didn't
want to give McNeeley's follow
inc q cbapca for. alibi
Patterson came into the ring
weighing 1873 pounds, to McNee-
leys 1877. He appeared to be fit,
and his punching was sharp and
accurate.
Floyd netted $42,696 from the
live gate receipts and another
$780, 900 from the theatre-TV pot,
for the S192,696.
For the beating he received Nc
Medley collected S21,348 from the
gate and 100000 from theatre
TV, for a total of $81,348.
All except one of Patterson's
challengers have been white box
ers. The exception was Tommy
(Hurricane) Jackson.

Charles Livingston he intended to
profit from the experiences of
others and avoid the financial pit
falls that engulfed them.
Patterson, therefore, seems to be
living up to that promise, although
another pledge he made at the
same time to be "a fighting cham,
pion in the Joe Louis tradition"
hasn't yet materialized. Louis, in
the IL years he held the heavy
weight championship, fought all
corners. Patterson appears to be
fighting soft touches, and so far
has avoided Sonny Liston, the No.
l contender for some time.
VIII Give Liston Chance At Title
Patterson did say after his fight
Monday, though, that he intends
to give Liston a chance at the
title.
Il definitely will give Liston a
chance. But the date and place
will come later" he said. However,
Floyd and his querulous manager,
Gus D'Amato, still appear to be
setting conditions for Lston to
meet.
The admission that he will fight
Liston bore out the Associated
Negro Press prediction last Au-
gust when Sonny was suspended
following two encounters with the
law, that the big Philadelphia
heavyweight would overcome his
difficulties and eventually gain a
championship fight. Liston has
since rehabilitated under the tute-
lage of a Roman Catholic priest
named Father Edward Murphy of
Denver.

United States has 5000 to 40

He told the Petroleum En-

The equivalent Of 16 billion
tons Of TINT in this stockpile Is
available for immediate retalia-
ton. This amounts to about

II, he said.
To transport these. the

CONSTANTINE BROWN
On Refusing to Meet Khrushchev

ident Voroshilov decided to
get rid Of them and called
them in. Marshal VoroShilov
was particularly sharp to-
ward Mr.. Khrushchev and
told him bluntIy that he was
fired. But instead Of calling
a couple Of sturdy MVDs to
take him away (meantng
LIQUIDATION, followed by an
nouncement that the poor
man died Of heart failure) he
blundered and let the shrewd
Mr.. Khrushchev talk him into
a legal tangle. He reminded
the Red president that the
presidium had no power to
fire the team; the Supreme
Soviet alone had that power.
Marshal Voroshilov agreed.
Members Of the Supreme So
Wet, who were picked per-
Sonally by Mr.. Khrushchev,
met and Marshal Bulganin
alone was eliminated.
Mr.. Khrushchev never for
gave Marshal Voroshilov, but
he could do nothing against
him because Of the marshal's
prestige. Hence, although
now the former 80-year-old
president no longer has much
reputation, Mr.. KhruShchey
decided to raise the question
Of the personality cult" with
the main purpose Of total
downgrading Of Stain and
the marshals who remained
the heroes Of the last war.
The denunciations Of Sta
lin and his coworkers appar-
emily were more violent in
the executive session Of the
22d Congress than have been
published in the press. His
body was removed from the
mausoleum, his pictures torn
from the few places where
they still hung and the "Sta-
lin cult" Is now being re-
placed BY the 'KhruShchev
cult"
Mr.. Khrushchev wants to
become q hero in the eyes
Of his subjects. This is Inn
portant even in q country
such as Russia. The Subma-
rine myth made little i'm
preston on the land-locked
population. The downgrading
Of Stalinswas accepted, as Mr..
Khrushchev foresaw, with
sullenness. The Russian peo-
pies spirits had to be
aroused to- show enthusiasm
for the ruler. Hence, not only
the super-bomb but also the
brutal dismissal Of the pleas
OF the world not to explode
1t. Now, Comrade Khrushchev
believes he is top gun in his
country.

Moderation in Conqo

Indications here last night
were that should the Soviet
Union or any other country
propose that the Council call
for such measures, the United
States would oppose such ac-

rily with the argument that
there is still hope of ending the

betwee IN Mr.. Tshombe and
Prime Minister Cyrille Adoula
Of the central goernment.
Committed to Unity
While stressing the United
States support for a moderate
course by the u. N. in the
Congo, officials said the United
States is strongly committed to
Congo unity under the leader
ship Of Mr.. Adoula's govern
ment on the ground that the
Congo's future lies between the
alternatives Of unity or chaos.
Mr.. Tshombe has arm e d
forces totaling 5000 men. in
cluding several hundred Euro
peans employed as mercenaries.
The central governments force
totals about 10000 men and the

NEW YORK, Nov. IL (AP)
"A spokesman for the United

church has accepted an invita-
tion to join in exploratory talks
toward union with the Presby-

and Methodist denominations.
The Rev. DR.. Ben M. Herb

of nine at a conference in
Washington on April 9-10.
The United Church, which
links the Evangelical and Re-
