81 YEARS BEHIND BARS

ExpIodes at
Start Of Test

CAPE cANAvERAL, Fla,
Nov. Z (AP).-A Minuteman
missile flipped out of control
and exploded in flight today,
spraying flaming fragments
over a wide area of this mis-
Sile test center.
Several fires started on the
Cape, but there were no in
juries or damage to property.
The 58-foot intercontinental
range rocket roared from an
85-foot deep silo on the start
of an intended 1,700-mile test
flight. 1t went out of control
almost the instant it cleared
the silo and began to tumble.
Several hundred feet high it
suddenly blew apart, sending
fiery pieces raining hundreds
of feet across the clear sky.
The missile was programmed
for less than its 5,0e0-mile op-
irrational range to check its
accuracy and the effect of
structural loads as a result of
the sharper trajectory.

Racial Barrier
InCafeBacked
But Delaware
Bars Enforcement
By GARRETT d. HORNER
Star Staff Writer

WILMINGTON, DEL, Nov. Z.
The Delaware State Supreme
Court has broken new legal
ground in the most controver-
sial area of the civil rights
battle-public accommodations.
In a ruling yesterday. the
court unanimously upheld the
right of a restaurant owner to
practice racial discrimination,
but outlawed any State help in
enforcing such a policy.
The court held that:
/. The owner of a Delaware
restaurant has the right to re-
fuse to serve food to a Negro
upon purely racially discrimi-
natory grounds"
2. But the restaurant owner
may not prosecute the Negro
for trespass If he refuses to
leave and, in effect, stages a
Sit-in demonstration.
Cites Amendment
1t would violate the Four
tenth Amendment, the court
said, for the State to assist
a restaurant owner "in en-
forcing his private policy of
discrimination" through a
prosecution under the trespaSs
laws.
Legal authorities here said
this was the first ruling by any
court in the country outlawing
prosecution for trespaSs under
such circumstances. The United
States Supreme Court so far
has avoided ruling on the is
sue, but it is presented in a
new series of cases to be ar
gued this year.
The constitutionality Of a
proposed new law to prohibit
racial discrimination in a place
of public accommodation such
as a hotel, restaurant or thea
ter is at the heart of the con-
troversy over civil rights legis-
lation being pushed in Con-
gress by the Kennedy admin
istration.
Self-Help Law
In effect, the Delaware Su-
preme Court said that a res
taurant owner may rely on his
common law right of self
help" to eject a patron unwel-
come because of his color
even using violence to do So
but he may not call upon the
police to assist in the election.
The case grew out of the
arrest of Rev. George F.
Brown. a Negro, who was de-
MED food service in the Deer
Park Hotel in Newark, Del. on
June IL. 1863.
When Mr.. Brown refused to
leave the premises, the hotel
proprietor obtained a warrant
for his arrest for violation of
the States criminal trespaSS
statute. The warrant was ex-
ecuted by the Newark police.
Mr.. Brown and the State
attorney general joined in ask
ing the State Supreme Court
to rule upon this question:

State conStitutionally enter

Waterfront Renewal,
Bridge Site Cleared
Fishing Boots Get
Added Dock Space
BY ROBERT J. LEWIS
Star staff Writer

A final plan for the much
delayed renewal Of the WASH
ipgton Channel waterfront was
adopted today by the National
Capital Planning Commission.
The revised proposal gives
additional wharf space to fish
ing boats. This was requested
by the District Commissioners.
Today's decision clears the
last hurdle to an early start
of redevelopment operations in
the Maine avenue area be-
tween the Fourteenth Street
Bridge and Fort McNair.
One Final Step
Only the formal approval by
the District Commissioners of
the modified plan is needed.
The plan then goes to the
Redevelopment Land Agency,
which win carry out the work.
Since the provisions of the
plan now include the final rec
concentrations of the Commits
sioners, this approval is ex-
pected to be given at once.
The planning agency's agree
ment with the request of the
District Commissioners repre-
sents a victory for fishboat
captains, who commended the
plans earlier version did not
fulfill promises made to them
as to the extent Of space they
would have in the waterfront
area.
The change approved today
sets aside an additional IS feet
Of fishing boat dock space at
the foot Of Tenth street, adj
joining the existing Municipal
Fish Wharf where boats are
now docked.
The 22-foot-wide space run
ming along the waters edge
coupled with a 150-foot-long
access roadway-was provided
by excluding this L. shaped
space from one of the proposed
small waterfront parks and
public landings that will pune
tuate commercial developments
along the three quarter mile
Washington Channel embank-
ment.
Panel Backs Proposal
Presumably the change will
satisfy fishing captains, who
recently enlisted the aid Of
Senator Beall, Republican OF
Maryland, in their fight to-
obtain additional space.
Altogether, more than 300
feet of docking space now will
be available to fishboats.
In a letter to the planning
agency, DR.. Charles B. Nutting,
chairman of washington Chan
mel, Inc, a nonprofit citizen
organization which served as
a planning consultant to the
RIA for the waterfront area,
said the additional space for
fishboats was. reasonable and
would not impinge greatly on
the small adjacent park.
The only vote against the
change was cast by T. Sutton
Jet, Washington regional di-
rector of the National Park
Service.

Missile Killer
Shown on Red
Anniversary
Two-Stuge Rocket
Hailed as Defense
Against All Attacks

MOSCOW, Nov. 7 (AP).-
The Soviet Union marked the
46th anniversary Of the Boil
shevik revolution today by
parading through Red Square
a rocket which Moscow Radio
and Tass indicated was an anti
missile missile.
1t was a two-stage rocket
about so feet long, smaller
than the ground attack rockets
displayed but bigger than any
of the other ground-to-air
rockets hauled through the
square.
This rocket" said Moscow
Radio, has great military pos
sibilities and can attain hits
on all means Of air and space
attack"
Tass, the Soviet news agency,
reported:
"At recent exercises these
long-range antiaircraft rockets
proved capable of hitting any
up-to-date air-space attack
weapons"
Storm Of Applause
Premier Khrushchev headed
the group of political leaders,
marshals and others on the
reviewing stand.
On q level below the Premier
were the coSmouaut newly
weds, Valentino Tereshkova
and Andrian Nikolayev. It was
their first public appearance
since their marriage November
8, and the huge crowd in the
square greeted them with a
storm Of applause.
The military parade lasted
about IS minutes. Then the
thousands Of civilian organiza-
tions began filing past, carry
ing aloft their banners praising
communism, its heroes and the
workers.
Mr.. Khrushchev repeatedly
waved his hat to new contin-
gents. Each time he set off q
new burst Of cheering.
Lasts Three Hours
The parade lasted q little
more than three hours. Skies
were gray and gloomy but
there was no rain. The tenn
perature was q few degrees
above freezing, typical for Mos
COW at this time of year.
The new Soviet rocket was
shown after Marshal Rodion Y,
Malinovsky, the Soviet Defense
Minister. said in his annual
address from atop Lenin's tomb
that the Soviet forces are
equipped with the latest tech
niques to deliver a crushing
blow to any attack
But Marshal Malinovsky'S
speech, which he has made
every year since he became de-
tense minister in 1867, seemed
less bellicose than usual.
Refers Once to U. S.
There was only one direct
reference to the United States.
This time the United States
was told only that "unceasing
provocations against revolu-
tionary Cuba" were hampering
efforts to lower international
tensions.
The demonstration of mill
tary hardware lasted 10 min
utes, about the usual length Of
such displays. Moscow radio
and Tass commentators said

through the square were

Outright Rejection

In indorsing the compromise,
the Commissioners accepted the
advisory committees recon-
mendations for outright rejec-
ton of the old Three Sisters
site.
The Commissioners indorse-
ment also covers the advisory
committees re concentrations
that a north-leg freeway be
constructed with as much tun-
neling or "cut-and-cover" con-
struction as possible. This
recommendation was made to
avoid destroying housing &C.
cupied by low-income families
who might have trouble find
ing new housing.
A key point in the compro-
mise is that the north leg is to
be built to interstate fFeeway
standards. This means that
both it and the bridge will have
to be at least a six-lane and
possibly an eight-lane freeway.
The precise location of the
bridge and north leg freeway
will have to be decided upon
after more engineering work.
However. the north leg would
connect to the inner loop free
way around Pennsylvania ave-
nue. near Rock Greek Park and
then would curve north and
eastward, running a few blocks
south Of Florida avenue. The
route most usually mentioned
Is along r and S streets NV.

Third street ana New York

Baker Reported
Saying Kerr Cove
Him Thousands

OKLAHOMA CITY, Nov. l
(AP).-Robert G. Bobby
Baker says the late Senator
Robert S. Kerr, Democrat of
Oklahoma, made him a gift of
several thousand dollars, ac-
cording to an Oklahoma City
newspaper.
The Oklahoma City Times,
in a copyrighted story, said Mr..
Baker, former Senate majority
secretary, came here two weeks
ago to confer with Robert S.
Kerr, jr., and Dean A. MCGEE,
the late Senator's son and bust
ness partner, respectively.
Mr.. MCGEE said Mr.. Baker
told him he was seeking proof
that the late Senator made a
large money gift to him, but
that no record had been found
of such gift.
Young Kerr told the Times
he was not sure how much
money Mr.. Baker commended the
Senator gave him. Mr.. Kerr
said Mr.. Baker mentioned fig
ures of $4,000. $4,000 and
$4,000.
Mr.. Kerr said he doubted
such gift was made, adding
that his father kept a detailed
record of all loans and gifts
and that Mr.. Bakers name was
not on any of the lists.
Earlier, it was learned that
Mr.. Baker had obtained a quar-
ter of a million dollar loan
from an Oklahoma City bank
in which the Kerr family owns
an interest.
Mr.. Kerr, a director Of the
Fidelity National Bank, con-
firmed the transaction. He
said Mr.. Baker borrowed about
$250,000 from the bank in Feb
ruary, 1852, when Mr.. Bakers
vending machine company pur.
chased machines from another
concern.
