CONTRACTION
Ordered on
ApPortioning

ANNAPOLIS, April Is (AP)
The Maryland Court OF
Appeals directed Anne Arundel
Circuit Court today to de-
termine whether constitutional
rights are being violated by the
present makeup of the State
legislature.
The high court, in a 5-2
split decision, reversed a lower
court ruling that the malap-
portionment complained of by
metropolitan area residents is
not a judicial matter.
Following a Supreme Court
ruling in a recent Tennessee
reapportionment case, the
Maryland State court held that
the lower court should nov
receive evidence to determine
whether or not an invidious
discrimination does exist with
respect to representation in
either or both houses"
If it finds it does exist, the
court said, sections of the State
constitution setting up the
formula for present represen-
tation must be declared invalid.
The court added the Cover
nor should be given opportunity
to call the legislature into
special session before the
November election so it can
reapportion membership on a
basis more reasonably reflect
ing population.

Laurel Race Course officials,
agents of the Thoroughbred
Racing Protective Association
and the Maryland Racing Com
mission today were conducting
an investigation after a bat
terry" was found in the starting
gate after the field had gotten
off in the first race at Laurel
yesterday.
The instrument, used to
shock horses and make them
faster, was discovered by an
assistant starter when the bar
rier was being moved before
the second race, Laurel's stew
ards said.
The tool, which is small
enough to fit in the palm of the
hand, was turned over to the
officials by Starter Eddie Blind.
The first race yesterday was
won by Mary A. Rumsey's
Rapid Rise, ridden by Jockey
Eddie McIvor. The jockey lives
in the Pimlico section of Balti-
more.
Rapid Rise, a 17-to-1 shot,
who had finished third in his
previous start, won by three
lengths in the Seven-furlong
race.
Pending the outcome Of the
investigation, McIvor was told
to cancel his mounts for today's
program and not to accept
other mounts until he receives
the stewards approval.
Joseph Flanagan, steward
representing the Maryland
Racing Commission, revealed
the battery's discovery and the
temporary suspension of Nc

The ketch Bluebelle, which
sank last November off the
coast of Florida with a loss of
five lives, apparently was lin
tentionally sunk" by its &C
cident-prone captain, Julian A.
Harvey, United States Coast
Guard investigators said today.
The Coast Guard at noon re-
leased the findings of fact and
conclusions listed by a board
of investigation after a five
month inquiry into the loss of
the Bluebelle last November IL.
The Coast Guard report con-
cluded that four of the Blue
belle victims 'lost their lives
at the hands of Julian T.
Harvey prior to the sinking of
the vessel"
Capt. Harvey, who had sur
vived the sinking and was
rescued by a freighter from a
life raft, ended his life in a
Miami motel when he learned
that 1l-year-old Terry 10
Duperrault also had survived.
She was rescued "a hours after
the 60-foot ketch went down in
TOO fathoms of water.
s Died in Sinking
When the charter yacht sank
so miles northwest of Nassau,
five persons died-Dr. and Mrs.
Arthur Duperrault, two of their
three children, Brian, IA, and
Renee, Z, and Harvey's fifth
wife, Mary Dene, 33.
Coast Guard officials who
investigated the tragedy said
that Capt. Harvey, when res
cued by the steamship Gulflion
on November 13, had with him
in a rubber raft the body of
7-year-old Renee Duperrault.

INTERPRETIVE REPORT-
Tests Spur Quest for Ban

a "standstill" agreement on
nuclear tests. British Labor
Party members in Parliament
demanded an H-RQmb test ban.
japanese groups took up the
cry, although the Tokyo gov
ernment avoided official repre-
sentations to Washington for a
test ban.
In May, 1854. the Communist
World Peace Council launched
a global campaign demanding
a stop to nuclear tests. The
next year Soviet Communist
Party First Secretary Khrush-
chev made an official overture
for an H-bomb test ban.
De m ocratic presidential
candidate Adlai Stevenson pro-
posed an H-bomb test ban In
April, 1856, and pressed the
idea against stout Eisenhower
opposition throughout the 1856
election campaign.
Issue Reappears
The issue disappeared briefly
after President EiSenhower's re-
election but became a major
point of discussion in disarma-
ment negotiations in London in
1857. The United States in
sisted then, however, that tests
must go on unless production of
fashionable material for weapons
purposes also was halted and
of nuclear stockpileS
was undertaken with effective
provision for verification.
The Soviet Union, and to a
lesser extent Great Britain,
concentrated in 1857 in break
ing this link" of the test-ban
problem with broader nuclear
disarmament issues.
On March 81, 1858, the Su-
prem Soviet proclaimed a uni
lateral Soviet moratorium on
testing to last indefi-
nitely. provided the other two
nuclear powers, Britain and the
United States, followed the
Kremlin's lead.

Because Of the Berlin crisis,
and the drain on American

No immediate increase in the

Mr.. Mcnamara estimates
that all compulsory extensions

He said no disciplinary ac-

Eight days after the Soviet

ready accepted in principle the

The Soviet Union eventually

broke its unilateral moratorium

President Orders
Go-Aheod Despite
Urgent Appeals
BY the Associated Press


The United States fired its
first shot of the new nuclear
test series in the atmosphere
over the Central Pacific early
today, Pacific time, Govern
ment informants reported.
An official announcement was
expected from the Atomic
Energy Commission later this
afternoon.
Information was that the
shot had been fired in late
morning, Washington time, and
first reports here from Task
Force 8 indicated a successful
test.
The test series started a few
hours after President Kennedy
flashed the go-ahead signal
yesterday after months of
effort to get Russia to agree
to a reliable nuclear weapons
test ban had failed.
State Department officials
declared as the tests began that
the United States would still
be willing to halt the series at
any time that Russia would
sign a firm test ban agreement
with dependable inspection pro-
visions.
Appeals Issued
Mr.. Kennedy's authorization
for the tests to proceed came in
a day of appeals and warnings
against resumption of testing. u
tThant, acting secretary gen.
eral of the United Nations, and
India's Prime Minister Nehru
urged the great powers to re-
frain from testing. And in Mos
COW, Soviet Foreign Minister
Gromyko repeated Russian
warnings that the Soviet Union
would conduct new tests unless
the United States relented.
On Capitol Hill, Mr.. Ken
neys go-ahead announcement
was greeted with general ap-
proval. with several members
of Congress saying that the
President had no alternative.
! The United States Informa-
tion Agency said today it has
found strong support in the
Philippines. Thailand and Latin
America for the resumption of
United States atmospheric test
ing. But it reported that opin-
ion in areas including the Mid
die East, South Asia and Africa
is opposed to testing.

Aware of Complaints

the United States is fully aware
of complaints and protests over
the world against the new Pa

that Japanese Ambassador
Koichiro ASakai had formally
stated to the department yes
terday his governments strong
opposition against testing.
Mr.. White said the United

the regret that many govern

this-that the world has not

She's also discovered that

Shirley. who graduated last

It's a summer job and her

A tall. authenticated girl

Lip Reading
She attended Iowa School

With the help Of teachers
and a hearing aid, she has
learned to use the modicum

prehend up to 80 per cent of
another persons converSa-
ton.
She also has learned to
speak. an extremely difficult
task for some one who per-
ceives sound not Just dimly
but with distortions.
She is sentative with
strangers. apparently loathe
to fax their patience, and
OUT ky resorts to pencil and
paper if they don't catch her
meaning. In talking to Shir-
ley, one gets the feeling of
lively conversation from the
play of expression in her
eyes. her hands and her
smile.
Shirley's job with Senator
Javits has served as a push
in the right direction. 1T
