Pictures Fail
To Show Sub,
Navy Reports
By the Associated Press

The Navy said today that
wreckage which it previously
believed as that of the sunken
submarine Thresher now can
not be definitely identified" as
that of the lost ship.
An announcement said that
a thorough analysis" Of pic
lures taken by underwater
cameras on Thursday failed to
confirm" the belief that they
showed the Thresher, down in
8,400 feet Of water, about 220
miles east of Cape Cod.
The pictures were taken by
the research vessel Conrad.
Yesterday the Navy said the
photographs appeared to show
the sail, one Of the diving
planes and the hull Of the
Thresher, with a rupture in the
hull.
THE photographs taken by
the Conrad" the Navy said,
were rushed TO Washington by
air last night and subjected to
exhaustive examination by
Navy experts. Although some
objects in the pictures remain
unidentified, none could be
identified as being of any part
of the Thresher.
1.-THE Navy task group con-
Quoting the search is continu-
ing efforts to locate the
Thresher hulk.
"The research ship ellis will
arrive in the area of prime
interest, some 220 miles east
Of Boston, and will commence
taking bottom photographs
with a closed circuit television
camera specially developed for
deep submergence operations"
The pictures taken by the
Conrad were before a Navy
court of inquiry in Portsmouth,
N. H., today. 1t has been seek
ing answers to the disaster
which claimed 129 lives.

Student-Aid
Fund Set Up
BY Meredith

NEW YORK, June / (AP).
james H. Meredith, the first
known Negro to attend the
University of Mississippi, says
a fund has been established in
his name to provide loans and
gifts to college and high school
students. Ole Miss professors
are among the funds con-
tributors, he adds.
Mr.. Meredith said last night
he plans to devote a great por-
ton of my energy to helping
underprivileged Americans"
obtain high school and college
training.
He said he had contributed
the first $1,000 to establish the
Meredith Education Fund. "
And last Thursday, he said, he
received "l2 checks, some of
them from professors at the
University of Mississippi"
Mr.. Meredith made the state
ment at a dinner in his honor
at which Mayor Robert F..
Wagner compared him With
Astronaut L. Gordon Cooper for
pursuing "a venture not in
daring but in doing"
Both acted heroically, not
out of unconscious impulse but
out of deliberate determine
tion," said Mr.. Wagner, who
personally had welcomed Astro-
naut Cooper toethis city after
his 22-orbit space mission.

The Kennedy administration
is expected to ask Congress next
week for new legislation to
speed desegregation of schools
and public accommodations.
The two-bill package. coupled
with voluntary removal Of ra-
cial barriers by some Southern
businessmen, is designed TO
ease the Nations indignation
crisis.
Prime consideration is being
given TO a public accommoda-
lions bill that would prohibit
racial discrimination by bust
nesses involved in interstate
commerce.
The hope is that such a mea-
sure may reduce tensions aris-
ing from sit-in demonstrations
at department store lunch
counters. Small restaurants
which do not receive food or
goods from other States pre-
SUNDAY would. not be affected,
However. virtually all do.
The school legislation report
ed under consideration would be
designed 10 implement the 1855
Supreme Court order that pub
lie schools be desegregated
with AL deliberate speed"
The bill would leave the door
open for local officials 10 set
up specific timetables TO effect
desegregation under the guild
ance Of Federal authorities.
Where this is not done, Fed
eral authorities would be en-
powered 10 set a timetable on
their own, subject 10 court re-
view. Should local officials re-
fuse 10 meet II they would face

ed so successfully in the 1860
campaign. will have to be re-
peated from the beginning in
preparation for the 1864 cleo
ton.
But the political problem is
more complicated than that.
Since Birmingham, one Negro
Democratic leader said, there
has developed "the first total
involvement of the Negro COM
munity in the cause Of civil
rights"
Until now, he said, the civil
rights drive has been spanked
by a relatively small group OF
politically sophisticated Negro
leaders.
"These men realized the NUM-
Der of significant steps the ad-
ministration was taking, quiet
ly, without publicity, to make
gains for Negro rights. They
knew Kennedy, had confidence
in him and were willing to go
along with him."
But since Birmingham, this
Democrat continued, the emo
tons of 10 million Negroes -
not the judgments of a few
hundred - have become the
key to the situation.
The basic problem now is
that the mass of Negroes may
have lost their faith in the
white mans pretensions about
democracy"
Quiet actions by the Gov
eminent. without publicity, are
not going to restore that faith,
he said. They need evidence Of
good faith that packs the kind
of impact pictures of the police
dogs in Birmingham did"
This official said three &C.
tons by the President are es.
sential to give the Negroes
hope and thus take some Of
the emotionalism out of this
situation"
First, he said, the President
must advocate and fight
through to passage laws Il
speed the desegregation of the
schools and other public facil.
tiles. This is not punitive &C.
ton against the South" HI
said. This was promised BY
the platforms of both politica
parties. It's essential to show
the Negroes that whites NEAR
to keep their promises"
Second, he said, the Presiden
must persuade what he called
1.-The white power structure" Il
lower the racial barriers in pri
vate employment and the use O
privately owned dining and rec
reational facilities. IF the ad
ministration can move the whit
power structure to relax pri
vate segregation practices, thel
1t has a substantial reason :,

against the school board pri-
mary bill, about 5000 more
than necessary to suspend the
law for a month, and about
the same amount less than

Case, president of the council,
said he was certain his group

enough" signatures by July /
to put the measure on the

The law, backed by the

on the legislative delegation, is
an attempt to assure that all
school board members are
elected by a majority Of the
voters. The Republicans claim
that until last year, most board
members we're elected by plu-
ralities because of the number
OF candidates running for each
seat.

The PTA Council has 'claimed
that the method Of eliminating
minor candidates by using the
