ceived two years ago. II he
should send Federal armed
forces into the State, or let
the situation go to q point
where the Governor Of Miss
iSsippi is arrested and impri-
soned or fined. some Of the
Southerners are saying he
would have great difficulty
carrying any Of these States.
Former President Eisenhower
carried five Of them in 1855
and four in 1852. Some have
become accustomed to voting
Republican in presidential
elections. II eight or nine, or
all these States go Republican
two years hence, Mr.. Kennedy
would in all probability not
win reelection.
Gains Negro Favor
The other side Of the pic
ture shows Mr.. Kennedy, by
driving for desegregation in
Mississippi and other States,
gaining more favor with the
Negro voters, especially in the
big urban centers of the
North and West, and those
are the areas which usually
decide presidential elections.
But the Democrats, since the
days of Franklin D. Roose-
velt and the New Deal, have
received the vast majority Of
the Negro vote = except when
Gen. Eisenhower was running.
But even he received q minor
ity of this vote.
There have been q series Of
incidents in the South re-
lating to desegregation since
Mr.. Kennedy moved into the
White House which have not
helped the Kennedy picture
In that section of the country.
1t is true the Republicans
have taken strong stands in
favor Of civil rights. But that
has been expected. From q
Democratic President. m any
Southerners have hoped for
less drastic moves toward
complete desegregation.
Governors Of Southern
States. those who have spoken
out strongly, have given
their support to Gov. Barnett.
None Of them have attacked
him for taking the stand he
has. Further, once the Federal
Government has prevailed in
its effort to desegregate the
University Of Mississippi, the
drive by the NAACP and 9TH
er organizations, committed
to total desegregation In q
hurry, viii increase In tempo.
When President Eisenhower
sent the troops to Little
Rock, Ark, in 1857 to aid in
the desegregation of public
schools. there was bitter COM
ment from the South and
Southern members of Con-
gress. Already such comment
has been expressed on the
floor Of the Senate, with Just
the threat Of such action by
Democratic President Ken
nedy hanging in the air. Gov.
Patterson Of Alabama, one
Of Mr.. Kennedy's strong sup
porters in the 1860 election
campaign, has wired Mr..
Kennedy that II he sends
troops into Mississippi, he
might Just as well send them
into Alabama. indicating the
feeling Of his people.

This is intended for camou-

The new paint allows cam

THE POLITICAL MIL
'OIe Miss in National Politics
BY GOULD LINCOLN

"Ole Miss" and Cuba get
the hot headlines today. Each
viii have its political roper
cussions in 1852 and/or 1854.
Both are knotty problems
that have been laid In Presi-
dent Kennedy's lap. For the
present the Presidents BROTH
er. Attorney General Robert
p. Kennedy, is dealing with
the Mississippi situation,
where Gov. Ross Barnett has
defied the orders Of Federal
courts and pressures from the
Department Of Justice to
bring about the admission Of
29-year-old James H. Mere
dith. a Negro, to the all
white University Of Missis-
sippi. But If Federal armed
forces are sent into the State
to enforce the integration Of
the university, the President
-as Commander in Chief
must take action. He already
has the responsibility as Chief
Executive for any action of
the Federal Government, for
example, in sending Federal
marshals to execute court or
ders, including the arrest of
Gov. Barnett for contempt of
court. If that course i
adopted.
Gov. Barnett reportedly is
standing firm in his deter
mination ito go to jail" be-
fore permitting the registra-
ton Of Mr.. Meredith as a
student at the university. The
Attorney General has said
Mr.. Meredith will be reg
istered. in accordance with
the court DEGREES, and that
every necessary means will
be used to bring this about.
This would include the use of
armed troops.
No one here believes Gov.
Barnett and Mississippi viii
win in this contest in the end.
But admittedly the political
effects, should President Ken
nedy order in the troops,
would be far-reaching In the
States of the South. The
Kennedy administration is
making every effort to bring
the present impasse to a
peaceful conclusion, to avoid
any bloodshed and injury to
Mississippi people but to sup
port the Federal courts. There
are political reasons, too.
Loss Of States Seen
President Kennedy. in the
1860 election, received the
electoral votes of 61a Of the
IL States Of the original Dem
ocratic "Solid South" the
States which seceeded from
the Union in 1861, Republican
Richard Nixon had the votes
Of three and Senator Byrd Of
Virginia, Of Ia. In that year
these States had a total Of
128 electoral votes. Had Mr..
Nixon won them all Mr.. Ken
hedy would not have been
President. Mr.. Kennedy's
plurality in that election was

North Carolina, South Caro-
lima and Texas been cast for
Mr.. Nixon, they would have
defeated Mr.. Kennedy.

VISTAS IN SCIENCE
Medical Research for Future War
BY THOMAS r. HENRY

Army Medical Department
leaders now are initiating q
five year, far-reaching medi-
cal research program to meet
forecasted requirements for
any future war in any en-
vironment.
Primary detectives Of the
program are directed towards
combat medical needs made
more urgent by currently in
creasing prospects Of limited
and special warfare. Many
of the programs research
areas deal with diseases or
conditions about which med
ical knowledge now is almost
non-existent.
The Armed Forces Epidem-
biological Board, composed Of
top civilian medical scient-
lists and the Navy Scientific
Advisory panel have assisted
the surgeon general In dev-
eloping the program. TIL e
former organization will con-
tinue to participate actively
in an advisory capacity, es-
pecially with respect to pre-
vention Of infectious epidem-
ic diseases. In recent years
the board has been engaged
in such varied fields of in
vestigation as tropical dis
eases. virus infections and
biological effects Of radia-
ton.
Major Objectives
Among major objectives Of
the program, as announced
by the Army, are:
Development of air-drop-
pable surgical field equip
ment and supplies. Study Of
radiation injuries with the
goal of developing a chemi-
cal protective agent for bat
tlefield use. Military environ
mental medicine to improve
the combat soldiers ability to
adapt to environmental
stresses of heat, cold and al
titude. Basic research in the
life sciences to provide a long
range reservoir of basic
knowledge as q keystone for
future applied research.
While aimed primarily to
prospective military needs,
an Army announcement
stresses, the program should
have quite profound effects
on civilian medicine.

Nimbus Rush
SurprisesAide

The space agency's top
weather satellite expert ex-
pressed surprise today that the
tagging NimbuS program is
suddenly being regarded as
urgent"
DR.. Morris Topper told q
House space subcommittee that
Government agencies have
never used the word urgency"
In connection with the pro-
gram. The term has cropped
up repeatedly during hear
ings headed by Representative
Hechler, Democrat of West Vir-
ginia, now in their third day.
The NimbuS program, a more
advanced weather observation
system than the current TiroS,
has slipped about a year from
its original schedule. DR.. Tep-
per said he seriously doubts
that anything could be done
now to hasten the first launch
ing, now set for next spring.
DR.. Topper, director of me-
THEOLOGICAL systems for the Ma
tional Aeronautics and Space
Administration, was in charge
Of development Of the highly
successful Tiros satellites, the
fifth of which is currently CIV
ing daily information about the
worlds weather.
DR.. Peppers testimony came
after Defense Department and
Weather Bureau officials told
the Hechler subcommittee that
NimbuS Is an essential part
Of national meteorological
planning.
Dr.. S. Fred Singer, satellite
chief for the weather bureau,
amplified an earlier announce
ment that the bureau plans a
stop-gap program using oper-
ational TiroSes on a regular
basis until Nirnbus becomes
fully reliable.
DIR. w. F. Reichelderfer,
chief of the weather bureau,
said money could probably be
reprogrammed to provide addi-
tional Tiros satellites. He did
not 60 into further detail, but
DR.. Singer indicated the money
might come by diverting funds
now earmarked for Nimbus
launching rockets in the fiscal
1868 budget. About $40 million
is needed as a minimum start
for an operational Tiros system.
