CommlCCee Ter the study Ot
War Documents. -
According to Washington
Historian George w. F. Hall
garten, microfilms of 10-million
pages of seized German docu-
hents have been processed and
placed in the National Archives.
Among the filmed papers are
detailed accounts of Hitler's
military campaigns, including
the disastrous Russian front,
and documents relating to the
persecution Of the Jews by
special German SIS Corps units.
The work of filming the
documents was taken over in
January, 1857, by the Ameri-
can Historical Association.

Institute Planned
Completion of the microfilm-
ing and indexing operation has
resulted in the formation of
a committee of area scholars
and researchers whose goal is
the establishment of an insti-
tue for documentary research
on foreign nations.
Mr.. Hangarten, one Of the
first area historians to view the
mass of documents in the early
1950S, is chairman Of the 'pil-
ot" committee working toward
the research institute.
The scope and historical i'm

for research in this area can
hardly be overrated," Mr.. Hall
garten declared.
Ha
He said historians and po-
litcal scientists from area uni
versities are backing the plan
for the institute. The organiza-
tion would submit the micro
filmed documents to detailed
study and analysis.
In the early 1950s, the war
documents were declasSified by
the Defense Department. They
did not include German Foreign
Office materials captured by
the Allies. The latter documents
were stored separately.

ciSion. I well remember that
one time Majority Leader
Knowland took issue with an
important policy decision of
President Eisenhower. But in
contrast with Senator Mans
field, the former California
Senator announced that in
making his speech he was
divesting himself for that
occasion from his important
position as leader of the Re-
publicans in the Senate.
Had Mr.. Mansfield done
that we would, indeed, have
accepted his explanation
that he was speaking only
for himself. We know that
the majority leader Is a good
parliamentarian, hence We
are reluctantly compelled to
take with a grain of salt his
statement that he was not

tion."

This is described as room to

thriving country which has

Americas determination to
stand firm on Berlin was
confirmed by Mr.. Kennedy
during Premier Fanfani's re-

the feeling here is that the
Mansfield speech confounded
many parliamentarians If not
the Italian government.
The Italian government is
being needed with such ques-
tions as, Are you sure that
at the last minute the Amer
leans will not abandon their
strong Stand?" And, IF we
go out on a limb with the
French and Germans will the
Anglo-Saxons leave us hold
ing the bag?" And since
Italy is a small and militar-
lily exposed country, the word

pered in the Socialist groups
left of center.

administration are receiving
encouragement from the

Can Satellite
Fails 10 Orbit

WALLOPS ISLAND, Va,
July l (AP).-A rocket fizzle

tempt to lob a beer can satel-
lite" into orbit to study tiny
space bullets that might i'm
peril an aStronaut flight.
The third stage of the four
Istage Scout launching rocket
failed to ignite yesterday after
the 62-foot, SO, 6,000-pound rocket
had made what appeared to be
a perfect takeoff from its sea-
side pad.
The first word was that "it
looks bad" and a few minutes
later the trial was pronounced
a failure.
National Aeronautics and
Space Administration officials
said they may try again in a
month.
Falls Into Ocean
The space vehicle scared to
an altitude of only LOT miles
before nosing over and plung-
ing into the Atlantic 325 miles
downrange.
The setback was a $l.2 mil
lion loss.
In another space venture,
two of three satellites shot
aloft together Wednesday night
apparently failed to separate,
but the third is working per-
fectly, the Navy reported yes
terday.
The two that stayed to-
gether are working at reduced
efficiency. One of them is the
55-pound sphere called Greb,
designed to measure X-ray
radiation from the sun. The
Navy said Greb is rotating
more slowly than intended and
will be able to transmit only
about half the amount of data
that was expected.
Injun Handicapped
Apparently attached to the
Greb, according to signals re-
ceived, is the Injun, a 40
pound satellite intended to
measure radiation in the Van
Allen belts around the earth.
The Navy said the photo
meter device aboard the Injun
to observe airglow radiation
cannot function. But detectors
to observe auroral emissions
were apparently working all
right.
The detached satellite, Tran
sit "A, is sending signals on
all four of its frequencies, two
of which are powered by a
small nuclear generator.

These harsh words bounce out

Commission.
ArmiStice means a cessation

means at commission meetings

No greetings. No handShakes

Spar Over Recess
After almost four hours, the
Communist general made an
indirect reference to a recess.
The American general sharply
inquired if the statement was
a proposal.
Sparring over that question
went on for several minutes,
each side reluctant to take the
action of actually breaking off
the meeting. The Communists
finally said yes. it was a call
for a recess. The U. N. Com
mand accepted.
The Communists got in the
last word. AS he rose from the
table and wheeled to leave, the
Red spokesman shouted: You
must get out of Korea with
your bloody hands,"
The Communists filed out of
the building to the north, the

THE only way the people will
believe in democracy is when
they can talk freely, move about

only then, will they believe"
He said there must be econ
