OXFORD. Miss, Sept, a.
Ole Miss and this university
town where william Faulkner
lived today calmly awaited the
next mot in the struggle to
enroll James II. Meredith as a
student here.
Behind the calm, however,
there are deep misgiEings as to
what next week win bring.
Everyone here expects q
showdown then between the
Federal Government and Mis-
sissippi's Gov. Ross Barnett
over entering the 29-year-old
Negro in the State University
But today there were few
signs Of the impending struggle
on the tree-shaded university
campus. Ole Miss was playinl

as could made the trip to thu

No United States Marshals
were In evidence and Gov. Bar

contempt of court today for
his part in blocking Negro

The same court, with eight

This is the annual list COM

can become a reality, they must

Under the plan as envisioned
by the department heads, these

those built:

NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-"The
President feels that Cuba is a
bone in his throat" So spoke
one of President Kennedy's
aides soon after the abortive
invasion of the Bay Of Pigs.
Since then the obstruction
has become a large bone Of
national and international con-
tention.
How did it get stuck there
in the first place? How big,
how dangerous is it? Can 1t
be dislodged short Of war?
The President naturally
wants to keep these awkward
questions out of this falls con-
gressional elections. But the
failure to ask them and to
answer them honestly is
fraught with danger to the Ma
ton.

this hemisphere" He strongly
denied that the Communist
buildup is such as "to endan-
ger or interfere with our secur-
ity," or that Cuba is "an Of
fensive military base of signi-
ficant capacity"
In view of Candidate KEN
nedy's profound alarm about
the military threat Of Cuba in
1860, what are the facts which
leave the President so rela-
lively calm today about Cas-
tro's present military capacity?
Today, Castro's Cuba, still
only 80 miles off our shores,
has the second strongest
ground army in our henis-
phere. Estimated at 4OO. 900
men, including militia, it has
received, since the failure Of
the invasion, over SITS million
in military aid and supplies
from Communist bloc coun-
tries. Communist-made jeeps,

His Cuban policy was to '1et
