these discoveries have led to de-
lays as they must be corrected,
one at a time.
Often one discovery leads to
another. For instance, the town
map shows a valve at the inter-
section of Ely and High streets.
Sure enough. when the town
workers dug at the designated
spot they uncovered a valve
box, but no valve. The valve
box was being used to cover a
geodetic survey marker that
was placed there in 1884. Not
one, but three of these have
been uncovered.

what would cut off the water.

solved the problem but not

esting fact. In testing the valve

covered "left-handed' valve,

It caused no damage to be
closed as the water was being
circulated around the closed
valve, but it did cause extra
work on the pumping station.
In chasing down the water

again as he tried to register for
classes at the University OF
Mississippi. This was the third
time he has been denied ad-
mission to the school. Gov. Ross
Barnett, g., has been ordered to
appear before the Fifth U. S.
Circuit Court of Appeals in New
Orleans Friday to show cause
why he should not be cited for
contempt. Earlier in the week,
the college board and college
officials agreed to admit Mere
dith under pressure from the
court. Federal authorities have
limited that troops may be used
if necessary to get the Negro
veteran enrolled.

be the jumping off point for
Indonesian infiltrators landing
in New Guinea, and the Dutch
placed the clash in an area
where the infiltrators were said
to have been slipping ashore.
Indonesian officials insist the
infiltrators are acting on their
own, without government sup
port. The Dutch said some in
filtrators have been killed and
that the others are being
rounded up quickly.
The encounter was the first
open armed clash since Mr..
Sukarno warned last month he
would take West New Guinea
by force unless the Netherlands
handed over administration of
the wild, forbidding region left
in dispute when the Neither
lands granted Indonesia inde-
pendence in 1949.
Despite stepped up Indonesian
war preparations, Mr.. Sukarno
is not believed prepared to
launch a full-scale invasion of
New Guinea until late in the
year. United States officials
hope that in the meantime
negotiations between the Dutch
and the Indonesians will get
under way.

PorIey Begins
Over Bizerte

PARIS, Jan. 16 (AP).-
French and Tunisian officials
today opened negotiations on
Tunisia's demand that the
French give up the strategic
Bizerte naval and air base in
Northeast TuniSia.
French Foreign Minister
Maurice Couve de Murville sat
down with Bahi Ladgham, chief
aide to Tunisian President
Habib Bourguiba, and Sadok
Mokkadem, Tunisian Foreign
Affairs Secretary. The talks are
expected to last three or four
days.
The Tunisians want France
to agree in principle to release
the naval base and to set a
definite timetable for the evac-
uation of French troops.
French sources have indicated
that France is willing to do
this eventually but may seek
to avoid any definite commit
ment until the rebellion in
neighboring Algeria is settled.
The French and Tunisians
fought brief but severe battle
at Bizerte last summer when
the Tunisians sought to force
the French out with a blockade.
Normal diplomatic relations
were broken at that time, and
Mr.. Ladgham is the first high
ranking Tunisian to visit Paris
since then.

Reply on Rights Query
The President spoke of pro-
gress in the civil rights field
when asked why he had de-
cided to postpone issuing a
promised executive order pro-
hibiting racial discrimination
in housing backed with Federal
funds.
He said he would issue that
order when he considered it to
be "in the public interest" and
when he thought it would make

from members of Congress
when he goes to Capitol Hi.
One is likely to be this: Why
would this country want to re-
frain from devastating the enc
my-cities, forces and all-in
time of all-out war?
The administration answer In
general is that since the enc
my can destroy American cities
in return it would do the United
States no good to start a city
exchange. The new policy would
let the President attempt to de-
ter city destruction during a
war by threatening to retaliate
against cities only if the enemy
hits ours first.
The change would not guar
antee that American cities
would be spared, administra-
ton officials emphasize, but it
would open the possibility of
saving them-a possibility fore
closed by old American plans to
initiate city-trading.

He stressed that "the great
new and exacting field of the
sciences" offer a great oppor-
tunity for talented young men
and women. He said he hoped
they and their families and
school boards would consider
this and the national need in
planning their careers.
! Despite the growing demand
for scientific skills in the space
age, Mr.. Kennedy said the
number of students in the
physical sciences graduated
from American universities fell
from $4,000 in 1851 to 17,100
last year. He also said the
number studying in the biologi-
cal sciences fell from 22,500 in

Meanwhile, ICBMs and

point destruction of super

Protection for Command

mand and control" facilities be

Elaborate airborne war-con-
troll centerS will be provided as

ment says, but work also will
be started on deep underground
headquarters. Tunnels will be
blasted so far into mountains

hits will not be able to wipe out

ment.
The President and his mill
tary and civilian advisers will
be able to follow the course of
the war in these centers and
direct its step-by-step progress
The old strategy required
only that the Presidents order
to "Go!" reached bomber COM
