Rocket Sled
Sets Ground
Speed Mark

The Air Force reported to-
day a speed record for surface
travel-more than a mile a
second.
The vehicle" was an I'M
manned rocket powered sled
that sped down a heavy rail
track in the New Mexico des-
ert. At tbs peak velocity, the
l86-pound test device was
clicked at 3,753 miles per
hour. A mile a second is equal
to 5000 miles per hour.
The Air Force said the We
hicle was a two-stage affair
with Cajun rockets giving 1t
the initial velocity and Chero-
kee rockets adding a burst OF
speed when the Cajuns had
finished.
The track, at Holloman Air
Force Base near Alamogordo, Is
about seven miles long. The
peak speed was achieved near
the far end OF the track. The
vehicle was stopped by nylon
restraining straps.
Holloman Is the same test
area where Col. John P. Stapp,
an Air Force medic. used a
larger sled TO test the effect

on the human body.
Col. Stapp's sled exceeded
800 miles per hour.

Tourism Talk

ROME, Aug. % (AP).-A
tom-tom drumbeat by African
delegates pounding tabletops
today drowned out efforts by
Portugal and South Africa to
make themselves heard at the

ference on tourism. The ses-
sion was suspended.
From the start Of the con-
ference a week ago, work on
the question Of easing travel
restrictions and increasing
tourist profits around the world
has been blocked by African
demands that Portugal be ex-
cluded for her colonial policies

her apartheid program.

demand expulsion of Portugal
and South Africa, as the Afri-
can bloc had proposed, but
called upon them to withdraw
because their presence was
judged "inopportune and un-
desirable"
Delegates thought that might
end the deadlock and allow
work on the normal agenda to
go ahead. But at this mornings
session the Portuguese and
South Africans showed up and
the South African delegate
asked to speak.
No one heard what he said.
His words were drowned out as
the African delegates pounded
their table tops in an angry
rhythm OF protest. The Africans
demanded that the two delega-
tons leave the room.
The commission chairman
said he had no authority TO

Foreign diplomats here today
led the growing chorus of in
ternational praise for the
peaceful conduct of the March
on Washington.
Throughout the world, major
headlines and sympathetic ed
itorial comment followed the
orderly civil rights demonstra-
ton by 10000 Americans.
In Europe as far east as
Warsaw, Poland, television
viewers watched the chanting,
singing and speech making live
via the Telestar satellite during
peak evening hours.
At points around the globe
Americans and their foreign
sympathizers also marched on
various United States en-
bassies. In Amsterdam, Hol-
land, 1000 persons marched to
the United States consulate
where American Negro Author
Paul Harrison handed in a pc
tition of solidarity with the
Washington marchers.
About so persons, all Negroes,

Embassy in Accra, Ghana, with
placards calling for equal

Bannered in London Papers
In London, 7 of the 10 British
national newspapers this morn
ing led their main news pages
with stories OF the Washington
march. Their blaring headlines
hammered its peaceful nature.
The Laborite Daily Herald
called it This joyful Rebel

Police officials here estimate
that the march received the
most massive news coverage OF
any event in the history OF
Washington. A record 1855

tendency is to concentrate on

organizing such a massive

We have witnessed today in
Washington tens of thousands
of Americans-both Negro and
understanding their right to
assemble peaceably and direct
the widest possible attention to
a great national issue. Efforts
to secure equal treatment and
equal opportunity for all with
out regard to race, color, creed
or nationality are neither novel
nor difficult to understand.
What is different today is the
intensified and widespread
public awareness of the need to
move forward in achieving

seen remarkable progress in
translating civil rights from

Only the Communist press
downgraded the mass march.
While the newspapers of
France, Belgium, Scandinavia,
Great Britain and India head
lined the event, the Soviet press
buried it on the inside or back
pages.
Communist China neglected
entirely to mention that the
march was peaceful, and de-
picted Washington as under
siege. A Chinese broadcast
beamed to Asian nations said
an alarmed President Kennedy
modified 10000 troops but
failed to intimidate the
marchers.
Although thousands Of words
on the demonstration poured
into Moscow yesterday over the
Soviet News Agency's (Tass)
teletype printers, most Soviet
newspapers carried stories of
only 300 or 400 words today.
This restraint may be partly
due to the seven-hour time lag
with Washington and relatively
early press headlines which the
Soviet press has but Western
observers in the Soviet capital
also speculated that the low
key treatment may have been
due to the fact that protest
marches of any kind are ban
ned in the Soviet Union, and
the Soviet authorities did not
want Russian dissidents TO
make the obvious contrast.
