Among the sites discussed at a meeting vesterdav and County Manager Gor Nixon Vote Discussed, Page 3 WASHINGTON, Feb. 4 (AP The Senate tonight passed a $1,834,000,000 public elementary and high school grant bill containing funds for teacher salaries and building construction. The vote was 51-34. Shortly before final passage, the Senate rejected, on a 61-25 roll call vote the administration program calling for federal payments over the next 30 years to help pay principal and interest on three billion dollars worth of bonds issued by needy school districts for construction.

Sen. Everett M. Dirksen of Illinois, the Senate Republican leader, and five other Republicans offered it as a substitute for the nearly two billion dollar federal VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Feb. 4 (LTD The United States fired its Dis coverer IX satellite today in an attempt to recover a capsule from space but the satellite failed to orbit after losing communication with ground stations. Almost four hours after the 10:52 a.m.

(PST) launching the Air Force said the 17-foot long second stage had failed to reach its planned polar orbit. The reason for the delay in announcing failure was the loss of communications with the satellite soon after it arched cleanly into the clear blue sky. It took radar reports for the Air Force to confirm that the U.S.'s latest bid for a space age first with the Discoverer scries had failed. If all had worked as planned, the second stage would have ejected a capsule 33 by 27 inches back to earth as it whizzed over the poles at about 18,000 miles per hour. The re covery attempt would have come tomorrow afternoon about 27 hours after the launching.

Third Failure It was only the third of the 9 Discoverers to fail to orbit. "The Air Force has announced that Discoverer IX failed to achieve orbital velocity and fell back into the earth's atmosphere after a successful launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base," the short Air Force statement said. It added: "Radar data is nres between university officials don a. iiowe were: 2 The County Penitentiary and Social Welfare Department land and buildings on South Avenue between Highland and Elmwood avenues.

Thompson, vice president and treasurer of the university, said after the meeting: "We came away with the thought that it was a very helpful session. We were able to discuss our problems with the county manager. He expressed a desire to cooperate wholeheartedly with us.

Hemmed In "We are concerned about the fact that the university is hemmed in on all sides. We explored possibilities related to our building requirements in the nenr and long term future." Howe said he was "pleased bv the exchange of views and the chance to discuss mutual problems" with the university i grant measure. Dirksen said it was designed to help states and local communities "carry on where there is an emergency need:" He stressed it made no provision for teachers' salaries. Sen. Frank J.

Another university problem discussed at the meeting in I Howe's office, it was is that of the route to be followed by a portion of the Outer Loop. A state plan, proposed in 1956, included a segment of the highway that passed over part of the university's South Campus. The university, Howe said, is "interested" in Mayor Peter Barry's proposal that the South Campus be bypassed by the Outer Loop. Skirmishing Fire Traded on Syria, Israeli Frontier JERUSALEM. Feb.

Syrian and Israeli accounts agreed the skirmish erupted at 12:30 p.m. Each side blamed the other.

"The fire was returned. One of the patrol was slightly wounded."

Mrs. Benedetto's sister, Mrs.

Nicholas Bianchi, who also was anticipating a visit from the stork, wasn't too worried about whether she had a girl or a boy, since it would be her first child. But a boy would have been nice to start the family off. Both babies arrived yesterday at Genesee Hospital and the sisters are sharing a double room.

The campus, formerly Oak Hill Country Club property, was acquired and developed in the late 1920s. Fund Drive On Last May 22, the university announced the purchase of 15.7 acres of land off Southland Drive in Brighton, near its un developed South Campus.

The purchase brought the total area to recover the capsule as it fell to earth in the Pacific near Hawaii. Odds for recovery had been listed at 700 to 1, even if everything had gone well. Earlier, the Air Force said, "There has been difficulty with the telemetry on Discoverer IX. No information is available about the operation of either the first or second stages."

RUSSIAN CROPS LONDON. Feb. 4 (P SDrins Wz Musi Boosi Military the administration measure. The grant measure now goes to the House where a bill for the same purposes was cleared last year by the Education Committee. It since has been stuck in the Rules Committee.

On final passage, 42 Democrats and 9 Republicans voted for the bill, while 12 Demo and 22 Republicans op- it. Graveyard of Bills' The House has been the graveyard of education bills for years but Democratic leaders there have said thev exnect this year to get some sort of measure through. The Senate outcome was a President r. Eisenhower who for the last two years has opposed any big school grant bill. Senate Republican leaders indicated plainly they believed the measure which was passed would be vetoed.

"I think I can say the administration looks with disfavor on any plan providing id for teachers' salaries," Dirksen told the Senate. Sen. Prescott Bush (R-Conn) said it seemed to him that the Democrats were determined "to raise a campaign issue" by sending to President Eisenhower a bill he would feel compelled to veto. The Senate passed the bill after two lengthy days of debate both running into late night sessions unexpectedly fast time for one of the major issues of the 1960 session. Construction Grants As it came to the floor, the Ml carried 500 million dollars annually for the next two years for grants to the states for school construction only.

But a large group of Democrats was determined to bolster it and finally succeeded. They narrowly failed last night to add teacher salaries to the pro gram! this lost on a 44-44 tie vote with Vice President Nixon helping to nail down its defeat. But today a cut down version of this proposal was substituted for the original measure by a 54 35 vote. The successful compromise, sponsored by Sens. A S.

Mike Monroney (D-Okla) and Joseph S. Clark (D-Pa), provid-ed for $916,880, 000 a year in grants for each of the next two years. Short of NEA Goals The vote marked the first time since 1949 the Senate has passed a general school aid bill. It later died in the House. The House debated a school construction bill in 1957 but it failed to pass by five votes.

Congress has been struggling with the issue since 1871, almost a century. The Senate outcome was a substantial victory for the National Education Assn. (NEA) and teacher organizations over the country. The pattern of the final bill followed that of the Murray-Metcalfe measure which NEA long has pushed, although the Senate-passed bill fell well short of the money totals the education group wanted. vote for Warns Taylor of the South Campus to 85; zone and fired on Syrian out-acres.

I The Most Sheepish Grin Wins A 4-Star Puzzle By JOHN KELSO WASHINGTON, Feb. 4 (GNS) Ask everybody to be quiet, please, while you try to solve a four-part puzzle that Gen.

Thomas S. Power, boss of the Stra-tecic Air Command, unveiled on Capitol Hill. 1 "The alternative is military inferiority and there is no living with communism as an inferior." While Taylor was speaking in this vein, Adm. Arleigh A. Burke was telling a Senate appropriations subcommittee U.S.

armed might is growing ever more powerful. But Burke, chief of naval operations, agreed with a Republican senator's suggestion that it would be wise to increase construction of missile-firing Polaris submarines until, as the senator put it, "we can close the gap" in missiles. Nonetheless, the Navy's top admiral stressed that "I sup- iv.v.w,.w. or Spending, were challenged by Gen. Lyman L.

Lemnitzer, who succeeded him as Army chief of staff. Defending the present command organization, Lemnitzer told the senators "I think we to the degree some of us would like to do. "We have a considerable capacity to fight a limited war even if there are some areas we would like to see bolstered up." Lemnitzer did not go into the question of this country's weapons of massive retaliation, as Taylor did. Fugitive Gives Up After Long Ordeal ELMIRA, Feb. 4 (V) A prison farm walked calmly into a state police station today and gave himself up.

Carl Conklin. 22, of Ham mondsport, told troopers in nearby Painted Post he escaped from the Orange County Prison Farm near Orlando Jan. 30 with a man identified only as "Frank Wagner of Florida." Conklin said he had only 56 days left on a year's sentence for forgery when he escaped. He said he had been assigned to road gang dicging ditches and cutting right-of-way through swamp. "I couldn't, take it anymore," he told troopers.

"I would have escaped if I only had five days left." Conklin said he and Wagner used, files to cut their way out of the cell windows in the one-story jail, then spent 26 hours cutting through swampland to elude police. State Police in Batavia said roadblocks had been set up near Conklin's home in the Ham-mondsport area at the request of Florida authorities. Troopers said he would be arraigned as a fugitive port the President's young fugitive who said he which allocates funds for fewer i waded through miles of swamp-Polaris subs than the Naw land after fleeins a Florida HAVANA, Feb. 4 Ana-stas I. Mikoyan, Soviet deputy premier, trade expert and traveling man, arrived today for a closeup look at revolutionary Cuba.

Trime Minister Fidel Castro was on hand to greet him. The trip brought the highest Soviet dignitary ever to visit Cuba here at a time of extreme strain in relations. A small but excited crowd gave the Russian leader an almost crushing reception. The announced purpose of 1he week-long visit is for Mikoyan to open a Soviet scientific, technical and cultural exhibit Saturday. U.S.

officials expect a strong propaganda effort by the Soviet delegation. They also said Mikoyan may have brought with him various proposals for Russian-Cuban trade. Castro has indicated in the past he will deal with Moscow. Another possibility raised by U.S. officials was that Mikoyan may seek to restore diplomatic relations between the Soviet Union and Cuba.

They were broken off in 1952 after the then dictator, Fulgcncio Batista, accused the Russians of bringing in diplomatic pouches stuffed with propaganda material. Mikoyan's plane, a big IL18 turbprop, left Moscow last night, stopped in Gander, this morning for refueling and. arrived here at 4:11 p.m. EST. Mikoyan appeared at a rear door 18 minutes later.

A crowd gathered on the airport terrace cheered. Mikoyan responsed with a smile, and a wave. About a half hour before the plane "landed buses loaded mostly with workers began pulling up at the airport terminal. Several hundred people flocked to the terminal terrace. Visible in the crowd were only two small signs.

One read "Viva la Paz" (long live peace), and the other said "Bicnvenido Mikoyan" (welcome). Jpr'--- i-S Kl IV 7 I i' Jiff (f Vj Gen.

How old is he? As for the U.S.-Canadian-boundary line, let's suppose that a pilot of a passenger plane cracks up right in the middle of the boundary line. Where would the survivors be buried, in the U.S. or Canada? With respect to BB, MB and PB, those letters stand for Baby Bull, Momma Bull and Papa Bull. If the Baby Bull was hurt, to whom would he run, Momma Bull or Papa Bull? Here's the solution: If you wrote only an ordinary small I without a second dot, you were wrong. asked subs Burke claimed will be invulnerable to any surprise! Russian knockout blow.

The 58-year-old Taylor, now a utility company executive in Mexico City, leveled no direct criticism at Eisenhower, under whom he served in World War, II. But therc was indicated criticism in Taylor's statement that decisions on military' strength are made in terms of their effect on the national, budget. His testimony amounted largely to. a restatement of complaints and recommenda tions he has voiced in the notablv in a recently pub lished book. In brief, the retired soldier urged a complete reappraisal of both short-range and long-range U.S.

military policy. In particular, he appealed for' revamping of the high command and the creation of a single powerful chief of staff. Once again, Taylor deplored reliance on weapons of massive destruction and what he said was neglect of U.S. ground capability to wage limited, brush fire-type wars. Later some of Taylor's views Olive Branch: Soviets, fellow-Reds urge nonaggression pact with West.
