CURSED TEMPERAMENT!
Tenor Rues Sour Note

VERONA, Italy, July q
(AP).-Handsome tenor Franco
Corelli was contrite today about
his victory over United States
conductor Fabien Sevitzky in
Italy's latest operate squabble.
Its all the fault of my
cursed temperament" said Mr..
Corelli, whose 6-foot-plus of
dark good looks and ringing
voice have made him a matinee
idol in Italy and New York and
whose temper is one of the
opera worlds quickest.
Mr.. Sevitzky, longtime con-
ductor of the Indianapolis Sym
phony, clashed with Mr.. Corelli
and several other singers Tues
day during a rehearsal of
Bizet's Carmen" for Verona'S
outdoor opera season.
The 68-year-old conductor
said he had "a disagreement
with several artists concerning
the tempo and general execu-
ton of the opera" Mr.. Corelli
finally stopped in mid-aria,
complained Mr.. Sevitzky was
taking things too slow and
walked off the stage after an
exchange of words with the
conductor.
Officials of the opera COM
pany tried to mediate, but Mr..
Sevitzky refused to continue.

linari-Pradelli was engaged to

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
July 27 (AP).-The United Ma
tionS Security Council will meet
at 8 pm, EDT, tomorrow to
take up the French -TuniSian
dispute. The meeting was re-
quested today by the Tunisian
delegation.
The meeting was announced
by U. N. spokesman, who at
the same time sharply asSailed
the action of French PARA
troopers in halting Secretary
General Dag Hammarskj jold's
car near Bizerte yesterday. The
troopers inspected his car be-
fore allowing him to pass
through French checkpoints
into the city.
THE incident is to pe regret
ted, not so much for the per-
sonal inconvenience or embar-
raSSment that might have been
caused to the Secretary Gen
eral, but the disregard of the
U. N. organization that such
an incident represents" the
spokesman said.
Mr.. Hammarskjold is on his
way back to U. N. headquarters
from Tunisia. He is expected
to report personally to the H.
nation Council on his confer
ences with President Habib
Bourguiba. He went there Sum-
day at Mr.. Bourguiba's invita-
ton.
Last Saturday the Council
approved a resolution calling
for a cease fire and withdrawal
by both sides to their pre-
battle positions in Bizerte and
in the Sahara.
U. N. sources here said the
TuniSianS have withdrawn
from positions in the Sahara,
but there have been no with
drawals in the Bizerte area by
either side.

BITTER AT SNUB

TUNIS. July 81 (AP).-
United Nations Secretary Cen
eral Dag Hammarskjold left for
New York today after a three
day on-the-spot study of the
explosive Bizerte crisis. He did
not hide his bitterness at a
French snub.
Sources close to Mr.. Ham
marSkjold said he was par
ticularly annoyed by the refusal
of Vice Admiral Maurice Am
man, French commander of the
Bizerte base, to see him. Ad-
miral Amman said he acted on
orders from Paris. The French
government yesterday accused
the secretary general of show
ing favoritism toward Tunisia.
Mr.. Hammarskjold told news

he described as French refusal

The Kennedy administration
does not preclude the possibil-
ity that atomic weapons might
be used in limited wars, but its
new mobilization program veers
somewhat away from previous
doctrine.
That doctrine. as adopted.
by the Eisenhower admins
tration, was based largely on
the invoking of atomic fire
power to offset the military
manpower advantage Of the
Communist camp.
The program outlined by
President Kennedy and eX-
planned in detail to a Senate
Defense Appropriations sub
committee yesterday by Secre-
tary of Defense Mcnamara is
threaded with repeated refer
ences to augmenting weapons
firing standard, conventional
explosive.
Mr.. Mcnamara says this is
to provide greater versatility.
to give the United States mill
tary more choice in the arms
it would use to cope with less
than-nuclear war.
Relying On Honest John
Examples of the changing
doctrine are found among sew
eral references in Mr.. McNa-
mara's long presentation to the
Senate subcommittee.
In discussing the request for
an increase of $192 million for
Army tactical missiles, Mr..
Mcnamara said this would pro-
vide for more non-nuclear war
heads for the Honest John
rocket. This weapon, with a
range of about IL miles, can
fire either a conventional or
atomic warhead.
He also said the new requests
included money for non-nuclear
warheads for the Nike Hercules
missile. So far as is known,
all Hercules warheads have
been atomic to expand the
lethal range of an airburSt

A unanimous House vote to-

Seeks Amendment
BY j. A. O'LEARY
Star Staff Writer

The Senate Armed Services
Committee today swiftly ap-
proved President Kennedy's re-
quest for authority to call up
250.000 reServists and to in
crease military procurement by
$685. million. The action came
just "a hours after the Presi-
dents request reached Con-
gress.
The bill containing the addi-
tional money for aircraft, mis-
Siles and naval vessels was
adopted unanimously.
But the authority to call re-
serves produced one dissenting
vote Republican Senator
Francis Case of South Dakota.
Senator Case said he asked
to be recorded mo" on the
14-to-1 vote because there was
not time to prepare an amend
ment requiring the Pentagon
to broaden the base so that
men with the least amount of
service would be called first.
Russell Backs Case
Chairman Russell, Democrat
of Georgia, said committee
members generally shared Sen
ator Cases view and agreed to
include a statement to that ef-
feet in the committee report.
The statement will say that,
to the extent practical, priority
in the calling of Reserves shall
be applied to those who have
been in "a drill pay status" and
to those who elected to take
six months of training ahead of
former enliStees and inductees
who served two years.
Before Senator Case raised
the point, Defense Secretary
Mcnamara had assured the
committee that I'VE plan to use
this authority sparingly." He
added that defense officials are
aware of the disruptive effects
and hardShips that such recalls
to active duty have on the in
dividual involved"
Will Stick to Minimum
Mr.. Mcnamara also promis-
ed to extend the term of serv-
ice Of military personnel to the
minimum extent necessary.
The bill as approved author
ICES the President to call not
more than 250,0OO members of
the ready reserve for not more
than IL months. 1t also au-
thorizes the extension for not
more than one year of the en-
listments. appointments and
other periods of obligated serv-
ice that otherwise would ex-

he hopes to have an amend

it might provide for some pay

added that Carlisle Runge, AS

manpower, had assured him
that any discrimination in per-
sonnel policies would be lecti-
fled.
Mr.. Powell, making the
charges at a press conference
said his investigators had
amassed other evidence of bias
against Negroes in hiring and
promotion practices of other
Federal agencies in Washing
ton. In response to a question,
he said that these allegations
also concerned the District
government.

James E. Brannigan, head
OF Mr.. Powell's inveStigative

staff made the charges after
talking with Negro civilian
employees of the bureau. Mr.
Brannigan and his staff OF

Powell, as chairman of the
House Committee on Educa-
ton and Labor.
Mr.. Brannigan said that
Maj. Haygood, an Air Force
officer assigned to the Ma

mitted to him that he had
made several statements con-
sidered derogatory by a Ne
gro bureau supervisor.

said. After the Presidents

clear that we can't walk into
a crisis with our arms tied be-

No Negro Officers
Mr.. Brannigan said that of
the 274 civilian workers en-
ployed by the bureau only q
