Gov. Barnett. empowered by
the State College Board to act

day and denied him admission.
Action Called Meaningless
The Justice Department said
Gov. Barnett's action was
meaningless and asked con-
tempt citations against the 13-
member board and three top
administration officers Of the
university - Chancellor Joh n
Davis Williams; DR.. Arthur B.
Lewis, dean Of the college of
liberal arts, and Robert B. Ellis,
the registrar.
United States District Judge
Sidney Mize, in q hearing at
Meridian, Miss, Friday, ruled
that the three school officials
had no power in the case be-
cause the board had delegated
power to Gov. Barnett. The
judge ruled that the board
alone had power to enforce a
Federal court order to admit

court in New Orleans to cite

found the school officials not
guilty, the Justice Department
obtained an order from the

NEW ORLEANS. Sept. "a
(APD.-JameS H. Meredith ar
rived today at Federal court
here where the 5th United
States Circuit Court Of Appeals
began hearing contempt
charges in his University of
Mississippi desegregation case.
The Appeals Court ordered
the State College Board and
three Ole Miss. administrators
to show cause why they should
not be held in civil contempt
for failing to enforce Mr.. Mere
dith's court ordered admission.
Mr.. Meredith, a 29-year-old
Negro, was ready to testify.
In Jackson, Miss, Gov. Ross
Barnett said he had obtained
from q State court an order
preventing the Mississippi coll
lege board from registering Mr..
Meredith.
And, the same order-Signed
by Chancellor w. T. Horton Of
Jackson-forbids Mr.. Meredith
from registering.
Gov. Barnett said he was
considering arresting Mr.. Mere
dith If he violated State laws
or regulations.
The State court order faced
almost certain Federal action
to circumvent its application to
Mr.. Meredith and it put the
college board squarely in the
middle again. The board now
has the option of violating
Federal or State court orders.
An hour before the court
hearing started, the corridor
outside the courtroom was
crowded with spectators.
Some carried hand fans say
ing: Keep calm, cool and seq
regated" and can men not

This lack Of coordination, If
accurately represented by
INASA, caused widespread pub
lie anxiety for nearly an hour.
A brief blackout period at
the end Of the flight is un-
avoidable, however. In the
case Of the Glenn and Car
penter flights. the duration Of
this legitimate communications
loss was about AZ minutes.
It viii probably be the same
in the Schirra flight. This
blackout Is caused by electrifi-
cation, of the air around the

6-Orbit Space Flight PIons
For Schirro Are Revealed
By WILLIAM HINES
star Science Writer

The National Aeronautics and
Space Administration today
amade pubic details of the
forthcoming flight Of Walter
M. Schirra. jr. The six-orbit,
nine-hou Mercury space mis-
sion is now scheduled for Oc-
tober 8.
= Comdr. Schirra viii be
: launched from Cape Canaveral,
Fla. in the capsule which he
: named Sigma Z sometime be-
tween 8 and 10 am. (EDT9.
: The two hour limitation on
launching time was dictated
: by the need for daylight in the
Atlantic launching area and
in the Pacific at the conclusion
Of the flight.
Sigma z Will land in a region
northeast of Midway Island if
: the flight goes the whole dis
tance or in the Atlantic If it
is terminated prematurely.
= The mission designated MA-8
tsignifying the eighth Atlas
: boosted launching in the Mer-
curry program) will be the third
American attempt to place a
man in orbit. The two earlier
flights, by John Glenn on Feb
ruary 20, and Scott Carpenter
: on May "a, were each slightly
: under five hours long, covering
three orbits Of the earth.
GeminI Program Next
If successful, NAB win prob
ably be the last short-duration
space flight. Up to four mis-
Sions Of "a hours each in inn
: proved capsules are planned
for next year, winding up Prof.
tect Mercury and paving the
way for the more ambitious
Gemini program.
Includngi Comdr. Shirra, five
Of the six active astronauts
: have been ticketed for space
: flight. The sixth, Air Force
: Mai. Leroy Gordon Cooper, is
back-up pilot to Comdr. Schirra
: on this mission and is expected
to be a strong candidate for
> MA-9, the first 24-hour flight.
On the basis Of past Mercury
: performance, Maj. Cooper could
hardly fly before mid-January.
The seventh original Mer-
curry astronaut, Maj. Donald K.
Slayton, has been permanently
: grounded because Of q minor
heart ailment. He has been
: named manager Of ,AstronautI
: Affairs at the Manned Space
craft Center, Houston, Tex, and
remains active in non-flying
capacities in the program.
MA Missions Similar
The spacecraft booster rocket
and most features of the NAB
mission are similar if not iden-
Z tical to those Of earlier orbital
flights. Because Of the longer
flight and different recovery
area, more tracking facilities
: are needed for MA-8, and
rescue operations are being
planned for both the Atlantic
and Pacific Oceans. If it is
. necessary to halt the mission
. before the fourth orbit begins,
Sigma z will be brought back
into the Atlantic off Bermuda
in the case of one or two
orbits or off Puerto Rico in the
case Of three. For four orbits or
; more, the landing area is
northwest Of Hawaii.

Silent Period Due

Televiewers need not become
alarmed during in-flight per-
iods when no word is being
received from the pilot. In the
last half of the flight. the
spacecraft will be out Of the
range Of ground stations for
half an hour or more at a
stretch. These silences are en-
tirely normal and unavoidable
NASA officials have said
they will attempt to avoid 9
recurrence of the long blackout
that followed Comdr. Carpen-
ter's return from orbit last
May, The blackout was criti-
cized by Comdr. Schirra in a
television interview recently as
completely unnecessary-"dis-
gusting" as he put 1t.
Space agency spokesmen
contend that vital informa-
ton revealing Comdr. Car

Astronaut Alan B. Shepard.
who made the first sub-orbital
flight in Project Mercury in
May Of last year, viii serve as
capsule communication aboard
the command ship.
Present plans call for Comdr.
Schirra to have a three-day
combined rest and briefing ses-
sion aboard an aircraft carrier
In the Pacific. A televised news
conference, will be held at
Houston four days after the
mission If all goes well.
Flight Plan Different
Unlike Col. Glenn and Cmdr.
Carpenter, Cmdr. Schirra will
have a relatively unhurried
flight plan. This was necessi-
tated partly by human factors
and partly by limitations in
herent in the spacecraft.
Comdr. Carpenter gave evi-,
dence of being overworked on
his flight last May, and Mer-
curry officials subsequently de-
cided to give the next man a
less taxing schedule.
In addition, the fuel supply
for the Mercury capsules steer
ing mechanism is so small that
the pilot cannot be permitted to
fly the spacecraft continuously.
Consequently there win be
long periods Of drifting flight
in which Comdr. Schirra win
let his craft roll. pitch and yaw
as it will. There is no way for
the capsule to get out Of orbit
while drifting.
