Equal Pay Bill
Killed in House
BY the Associated Press

A bill that would require
employers to give equal pay
to women who do the same
work as men apparently was
killed in the House yesterday.
A move to have a House
Senate conference meet on the
bill was blocked by Representa-
tive Bow, Republican Of Ohio.
With Congress due to adjourn
any day, a further effort to
save the bill is not expected.
The House passed the bill
last summer, but the Senate
passed a different version and
tackled it onto an entirely sep
.arate bill that would authorize
funds for United States foreign
service buildings abroad.
Mr.. Bows objection to send
ing the bill to conference

mittee to clear the way TO
such a joint meeting. and nj

To get them, he is obliged

chiseling patronage deals,
all obtaining during their

CONSTANTINE BROWN
New Soviet Intimidation Move

shipowners but legal means
are lacking in peacetime TO
restrict the chartering OF
ships. Italian vessels to q
total of 110,837 tons are now
carrying Soviet war materials
to Cuba. These ships iron-
ically some former Liberty
ships) are being sent to Black
Sea ports where they take on
loaos for transport to the
Caribbean. Some of the crew
members of two large cargo
vessels refused to proceed TO
Cuba when they put in for
refueling at Italian ports.
They said the ships were
carrying war tanks and dan
gerous explosives instead OF
the farm implements listed
on the manifest.
The reports Of a retalia-
tory Soviet blockade OF
the East Atlantic ports
have another objective. They
are intended to scare some
of our NATO allies whoihave
just placed large orders for
American military equipment
in order to lessen our gold
outflow.
Germany has pledged to
spend upward Of 81 billion
and Italy has agreed to pur-
chase at least $500 million
in American equipment dur
ing the next two years. If the
Soviet Union were to es-
tablish a blockade of the
East Atlantic in response
to our blockade of the waters :
around Cuba, how could
these countries receive the i'm
Elements for defense which
they need for their growing
force without the United
States taking some action?
The reports of the Krem-
Inns intentions are regarded
by those informed as an
other war of nerves effort
intended principally to deter
the United States from pro-
tecting its own front yard.
1t is another attempt to
frighten the American Cow
eminent into a passive policy
in the face of another more
virulent form of Communist

Meredith's Advice to the Army

from the ranks 100 years ago
In a somewhat similar situa-
ton. And today, 1862, this is
an intolerable act. My con-
science would not allow me
to go on observing the situa-
ton without. at least, letting
the Negro soldiers know that
I did not like them being
dishonored."
Secretary of the Army
Cyrus r. Vance replied by
saying that, during the diff
ficult periods when troops
were first employed in the
oxford area, Negro soldiers
were not used on patrols, to
avoid unnecessary incidents.
On 6 october when the situa-
ton became more stabilized.
orders were issued that Ne
gro military personnel of
Army units employed in con-
nection with the oxford sit
uation would be used in the
performance of all normal
functions in the units in all
operations"
The real issue today is
whether James Meredith has
laid himself open to disci-
pline by the university. When
he called in the press and
issued a public statement, he
disclosed that he had tried to
interfere with the functions
that belong to the univer-
sity : authorities-namely, to
maintain order on the cam
pus. He sought on his own,
and without consultation
with the university. to have
Federal troops deployed in
certain ways and to specify
the composition of the mill
tary units.
While 10000 Federal troops
were modified in oxford and
vicinity to assure Mr.. Mere
dith's admission, the military
forces were not instructed to
operate the university. The
Federal court order merely
commands the university to
maintain Mr.. Meredith on a
par with any other student.
There is nothing in the court
order which requires the uni
versity to ignore what it may
consider a breach of conduct
by him or by any other stu
dent.

functions of the university
registrar. The registrar origi-
nally had declared that Mr..
Meredith was not qualified
for admission, but the United
States Department OF Justice
asked the court to issue an
order ignoring the registrars
findings. At this point, the
university restored the regis
trar's functions, so there is
no longer any generalization
problem.
The question that now
arises is whether the univer-
sity authorities will sanction
political manipulation by
any of its students. The at
torney general of Mississippi
could ask the Federal court
to uphold the university's
right to discipline or dismiss
Mr.. Meredith. For, though
officially registered as a stu
dent, he issued a public state
ment which said in part:
1.-THE first two days of my
stay at the University OF
Mississippi, the military units
looked like American units.
All soldiers held their posi-
lions and performed the task
for which they had been
trained and ordered to do.
Since that time, the units
have been resegregated. Ne
groes have been purged from
their positions in the ranks.
ION Thursday, october 4,
1862, I brought this to the
attention of the proper au-
thorities. On Friday, I was
informed that the situation
would be corrected and the
Negroes would be put back
into their places in the ranks.
ION Monday, october 8,
1862, Negro soldiers were.
indeed, seen again among the
soldiers. The ones I saw, how
ever, were on a garbage-de-
tail truck and unarmed. The
white members of the detail
were armed. This condition
constitutes a dishonor and a
disgrace to the hundreds OF
thousands of Negroes who
wear the uniforms of our
military services.

James H. Meredith, the

a public statement to tell the
United States Army what
troops it must use in afford
ing him protection. He ar
CUES that there must be a
substantial number of Negro
soldiers on duty, or else he
will consider it an injustice
to him and to the Nation.
Is a student in a univer-
sity-whose discipline he &C
cepts when he enrolls-
privileged to call publicly for
certain military forces to be
deployed on the university
grounds? Were those troops
which had already been
modified inadequate or in
efficient? Or was the is
suance Of the statement itself
a form of political demon
stration"?
Oddly enough, for a much
less serious offense, the Uni
versity of Mississippi was
threatened a few days ago
with the loss of its accred-
itation. If this had happened,
every diploma issued would
have been worthless as a GER
tificate of admission to a

is being whispered in Rome

by agents of Russia's satel-

United States establishes a
blockade of Cuba to prevent
