6-Week Congo Talks
Fail, Unity Up to U. N.

LEOPOLDVuLE, The Congo,
June 26 (AP).-Premier Cyrille
Adoula and Katanga President
Noise Tshombe ended six weeks
Of unity negotiations in discord
today.
Mr.. Tshombe left for Elisa
bethville. Mr.. Adoula said
peaceful talks have proved fu-
tile and called on the United
Nations for more effective
measures - their nature I'M
specified-to end Katanga's
secession.
Quoting documents, Mr..
Adoula told newsmen Mr..
Tshombe's resistance to reuni-
fication had hardened rather
than weakened during the on
again, off-again dickering. The
two had Al meetings.
"It was the United Nations
which encouraged us to enter
these negotiations" Mr.. Adoula
said. I'VE made our effort.
Now 1t is up to the u. N. to
take the responsibility for re-
storing our unity"
After a SleepleSs night Of
18th hour bargaining, Robert
Gardiner, the United Nations
chief in Sthe Congo, admitted
no document had been signed,
and no agreement or communi-
que could be produced to in
dictate any progress.
There is nothing" MIR.
Gardiner said, adding that a
communique to be issued later
today would be purely rou-
tine"
Mr.. Tshombe told newsmen
much remains to be done" and
that the negotiations would
continue. He said he had every
intention of meeting again with
Mr.. Adoula in Leopoldville or
some other place" But he
gave no indication of when.
U. N. officials broke into
smiles of relief as Mr.. Tshom-
be's U. N. plane took off with
out incident. Last time he left
Leopoldville, in March, the
Congolese authorities made a
clumsy attempt to stop him by
blocking the runway.

Faces Loss of Credits
Mr.. Meredith is only six
credit hours away from grad
uation at Jackson State NE

Gals say he will lose half his
credits by transferring to the
university, must take q full
years course to graduate, and
will lose his CT educational

Mr.. Meredith says he's fl
nancially stable and doesn't
mind the delays. Married and
the father Of a 3-year-old son,
he owns three farms near his
native home of KoSciusko in
Central Mississippi.
Ole Miss authorities and
State officials had no comment
on the appeals court decision.
The ruling, which was the
first Federal court school de-
segregation order aimed at
Mississippi, wasn't unanimous.
Circuit Judge John r. Brown
of Houston, Tex, concurred
with Judge Wisdom. District
Judge Dozier Devane of ITALIA

court said his minority opinion
would be published later.
In all likelihood, university
and State officials will appeal

JAChGON, MISS, june 70
(AP)-"A man with a mission
and with a nervous stomach"
That's the way United States
Circuit Judge John Minor Wis
dom describes James H. Mere
dith, who has come closer
than any Negro in cracking
Mississippi's school segregation
barrier.
Judge Wisdom wrote the Fifth
United States Circuit Court of
Appeals decision handed down
in New Orleans yesterday which
ordered United States District
Judge Sidney Mize to issue an
Injunction forcing the white
University of Mississippi to
admit Mr.. Meredith.
1t took more than a year to
get the order. Judge Mize, "a
years old, is an Ole Miss grad

dith's suit several times.

The soft-spoken Meredith,

man with a thin mustache.

Muy Prices
Stuy Steady,
Increases Seen

Living costs were unchanged
in May at the record level set
in April.
Lower prices for food and
gasoline balanced out higher
housing and medical care costs
to leave the Government index
at 1852 per cent Of the 1857
1859 base period. This means
it costs about a nickel more
now to buy the same goods that
could be obtained for a dollar
in the prior period.
Robert j. Myers, deputy
Labor Department statistics
commissioner, in announcing
the figures today said the
Steadiness in May was "wel-
come little respite" after living
cost increases in February,
March and April.
He predicted, however, a
small increase will be shown
for June when those figures
become available q month
from now.
Hours, Earnings Rise
While living costs remained
steady in May, the after-tax
earnings Of factory production
workers hit a new record. Both
the average weekly work hours
and hourly earnings increased,
The average factory worker
heading a family of four
earned $86.05 after deduction
Of Federal income and social
security taxes in May. This
topped the prior high of SIS. 10
set in December.
Despite the steadiness of the
index in May, about $4,000
workers will get pay increases
under their labor contracts be-
cause of the rise in living costs
in prior months.
Compared with a year ago.
living costs are l.3 per cent
higher.
Food Off Slightly
Food declined two-tenths of
per cent in May because of
lower prices for eggs, meats and
poultry, dairy products, and
most fresh fruits. There was a
continuing rise in average prices
Of fresh vegetables. Mr.. Myers
said the vegetable costs were
up because of adverse weather
conditions in some areas.
The medical care cost cate
CORY rose two-tenths Of 1 per
cent because Of higher profess
sional fees, hospital costs, and
health insurance rates. This
was partly offset by lower costs
of prescriptions and drugs.
Prices for new cars continued
to edge downward, while used
car prices rose again on the
basis Of a relatively small sup
ply and heavy demand.
