Eggs, Mud Speed
British Nuzi Chief
On HONEYMOON

LONDON. Oct. 5 (AP).-The
leader Of Britain's national So
cialist movement took a French
bride today and set off on his
honeymoon in a shower OF
eggs, stink bombs and mud
clods.
The wedding Of Colin Jor-
dan, 40, and FRANCHISE Dior,
81. niece of Christian Dior, the
late fashion king was solemn
lied in a civil ceremony at the
Coventry register office.
Disorder broke out when Mr.
Jordan and Miss Dior emerged
and greeted an angry crowd
of 500 with Nazi salutes. A
police Gordon of 80 protected
the newlywedS from booing
and cheering and escorted
them to a waiting taxi. They
appeared to have escaped any
direct hits from the missiles
hurled in their direction.
One Of the followers Of the
Jordan movement who yelled
"sieg he'll" as his leader
emerged from the register office
was less lucky. A piece of turf
thrown from across the street
bounced off the back Of his
head and staggered him.

Plane Like U-2 Is Used
In NovigotionoI Study

One source said that the
RB-57Fs mission probably Is to
"loiter" at high altitude, using
the two big TF-33 turbo-fan
wing engines to climb and the
two smaller fuselage engines to
maintain the high altitude
achieved.
The U-2 spy plane, designed
for reconnaissance at attitudes
in the s0.OOO-foot area, has
long. thin gliderlike wings and
one engine.
As their mission is to get to
the maximum altitude possible
with winged craft, It is unlikely
that the larger and heavier
RB-57F can fly as high. But
1t probably could achieve its
maximum altitude faster. and
perhaps stay there longer.
The RB-57 series was origi-
.nally manufactured by the
Martin Co.. but General Dy-
namics at Fort Worth handled
the RB-57F m o dification.
Whether there is more than
one model could not be learned

the U-2 SPY plane was spotted
at this test base.
It was identified as an RB-
57F, a drastically modified YER
sion Of Britain's old Canberra
light jet bomber. Its chief
features are two extremely lone
tapered wings. like the U-2s
and two enormous engines
mounted on them. Two small
er J-60 engines are on the
fuselage under the wings.
The plane was spotted on the
flight line yesterday. An All

clined to reveal details on

HoIdup Suspect

One thing the clever holdup
man tries to avoid is suspicion.
Keep appearances normal and
no paSser-by will call the cops.
Acting on this theory, a
young man holding up an Ar

knew just what to do when a
customer drove up.
He sent the attendant out to
take care Of the customer.
The customer got his gas and
drove off, and the holdup man
made his getaway.
In a matter Of minutes, how
ever. police charged Lawrence
G. Rappatoni, 81, a factory
worker from Schiller Park, Ill,
with the armed robbery Of the
Scot Gas Station, 3501 Lee

The station attendant, Pat
rick c. Budnik, had told the
customer what was going on
and asked him to call the
police. A scout car in the area
cornered Rappatoni in a dead
end street.

Rights BiIIDiIutingLoid
To Justice Department

Mitchell said. Although the
burden and victories in civil
rights have been carried and
won by able and brilliant col
ored lawyers-not ore is on the
top staff of the Justice De-
partment."
The Justice Department
spokesman said there were 70
to 80 Negro attorneys in the
department, including several
in the Civil Rights Division. He
said a Negro attorney was in
charge of one Of its key cases
against teamster president,
James r. Hoffa in Chicago.
Competency Cited as Key
I'VE don't hire attorneys
because they are Negroes" the
spokesman said. I'VE hire
them because they are COM
petent attorneys"
Mr.. Mitchell predicted there
are no leaders or groups OF
leaders in the area of civil
rights who will approve Of any
plan Of action that begins with
giving away so per cent of the
civil rights package even be-
fore the debate begins in Con-
greSs."
He said enough Republicans
have pledged to support the
bill to assure House passage
and the only way to see
whether they will live up to
their pledge as to give them
a chance to vote on the House

BY the Associated Press

A Negro civil rights leader
charged today the Justice De-
partment is "far out in front
Of those who want to trim the
civil rights bill"
Clarence Mitchell, director OF
the Washington bureau of the
National Association for the
Advancement Of Colored People
said the Justice Department
was spreading the word" that
the bill approved by a House
Judiciary Subcommittee must be
watered down because "it can
not get support from Republi-
cans"
The bill goes beyond admin
istration recommendations to
include, among other things. a
Fair Employment Practices
Commission and more author
ity for the Justice Department
to intervene in civil rights suits
Mr.. Mitchell supported both.
Mr.. Mitchells speech was
prepared for a conference OF
the Washington chapter Of
Americans for Democratic Ac-
ton.
Asked for comment, a JUS
tice Department spokesman
said "our objective is to get q
meaningful civil rights bill
through Congress this year
That objective has not
changed"
Weakening Attempt Charged
Mr.. Mitchell said not only
is the Justice Department try
ing to pour cold water" or
certain portions of the bill but
ut is also trying to reach into
the structure of the civil rights
groups to deliver a message
that calls for trimming the
bill"
This latter activity is espe-
cially ironic because the de.
partment is singularly free
from knowledgeable colorec
personnel in It's top levels Of
civil rights strategy" Mr.
