Talking about new Guidelines put out by the U.S. Office of Education, he emphasized, "superintendents and teachers CAN get them modified certainly reinterpreted." While teachers attending MEA had been discussing the Guidelines informally, there was no interpretation at any of the sessions. The speaker also touched on the dollars and cents of Congressional legislation, money for new equipment and supplies which will be available. "Vendors are working overtime to get such things as overhead projectors and tape recorders on the new market.

USE MACHINES "It isn't enough just to buy them. They can very easily gather dust," he pointed out. It is a waste of tax money unless teachers make use of the fancy new devices, he declared.

County Attorney Pat R. Barrett said he was notified at 10:25 a. m.

that the suit had been filed in federal court in Jackson. The suit was brought by four Holmes County Negroes, according to John Doyle, one of the lawyers who filed the action.

The students and faculty listened intently as Kennedy spoke. They burst into frequent applause and laughed at several references to Barnett. The senator said that, prior to Meredith's arrival on campus, he had 25 long-distance telephone conferences with Barnett and the president spoke with Barnett two or three times. There was laughter when Kennedy told the audience that at one time Barnett complained it would embarrass him politically for Meredith to be enrolled, because he-Barnett-had run on a platform of segregation. MOST PRESENT University officials said over 5,000 of the 6,500 students at Ole Miss were on hand.

Only students or faculty members were allowed in the handsome new $2 million Coliseum. Security was strict. Campus police said an anonymous threat led to a search of the Coliseum at noon. The highway patrol backed up campus police and a patrol helicopter surveyed the area before Kennedy's private plane arrived at the Oxford airport. "I know there was some controversy about my being invited here," Sen.

Kennedy told the students, with a wry smile. "Some compared it with ing a fox into a hen house. But some of my friends thought it was more like putting a chicken in a fox There was a roar of laughter. The senator was introduced by Edward Ellington of Lexington, head of the Law School Speaker's Bureau a student group which invited him "After this day, never again let it be uttered that this is a 'closed society," said Ellington. Kennedy and his wife, Ethel, lunched with university officials at a building near the point where, in 1962, Gov Barnett dramatically turned back Meredith and U.S.

marshals. The senator looked over the Lyceum building, the university administration center and the focal point of the campus riot. Over 20,000 troops were poured into Oxford after the riot to enforce the court's order. Meredith went on to become the school's first Negro graduate. There are 14 Negroes enrolled now.

It was decked with Con- SUKARNO Continued From Page 1 deputy premier. Malik was given Subandrio's second position of foreign minister. Ruslan Gani, a leader in the fight against the Dutch who formerly was minister coordinator, replaced Chaerul Saleh as third deputy premier. Saleh was another on whom Sukarno relied before he was whisked off to detention.

Informants in Singapore said Sukarno had objected to the composition of Suharto's new Cabinet and insisted on keeping Subandrio and Saleh. Earlier this week, Sukarno went on the radio to complain he was being pressured on Cabinet appointments. He said he had the sole right to make them under the constitution. The official government radio said Suharto appointed 17 new Cabinet ministers in all. The Cabinet has 102 members.

Suharto then met with Cabinet ministers who were not detained and asked them to continue at their jobs, the broadcast added. HODO SHOE SHOP New Location 414 E. CAPITOL ST. Across from Kennington's PHONE 948-2988 He began outlining some of the plans presented to the President and to him, and he emphasized that it was former Governor Ross R. Barnett who offered these plans, not he nor his brother.

He told of his conversation with Barnett when the former Governor offered numerous States he had sworn to uphold its laws. And as he explained, the plans to bring about the enrollment of Meredith without any violence. He told of one plan in which a group would confront Barnett and other state officials, draw their guns, and then proceed with the registration of Meredith. And he told of a later conversation when Barnett wanted the marshals to point their guns at him so that "a picture could be taken of the event." And he remembered who Ole Miss was playing in football that year (Kentucky; the game they moved to Jackson). Then he said the marshals-gun-pointing plan was called off by Barnett.

Then he told of another plan. This plan, Kennedy stated, would call for Meredith to come to Jackson to register, and he (Barnett) would be in Oxford at the same time, and when Meredith was registered, he (Barnett) would feign surprise. These remarks brought laughter from the crowd. Then he told his audience that it was "the Governor of the state of Mississippi who suggested that Meredith be brought to the campus on He continued by that it was always the thought of the Kennedy Administration that the Governor would take full responsibility for law and order. Then he was asked what steps he might have taken to prevent the riot.

"We could have sent troops in earlier, but we took Barnett at his word that he was going to provide law and order." Then addressing himself directly to the law students in the crowd, he re-emphasized that "we have to uphold the law." One questioner stood to talk, His question became a speech about the Meredith incident. Kennedy moved to one side of the platform in order to hear the question better. The speech continued. The crowd listened respectfully and then it grew impatient. They began clapping, but Kennedy raised hands to silence the noise.

Finally the speech-maker sat down and the proceedings continued. Then came more questions. Questions about Viet Nam, possible presidential plans, James But these were just formalities. They had come to hear his side of the Meredith story. His name was Kennedy.

They come. They had seen. They had heard. And when he had finished they gave him a standing ovation. Then he went among them and they came close to him, to touch, to speak, or just to look.

Doyle said the action does not necessarily reflect dissatisfaction with the bond issue, but is aimed at the fact that under Mississippi law 20 per cent of the qualified voters who can present a petition for an election in such matters do not include those (primarily Negroes) who have qualified only recently as voters and do not possess the required poll tax receipts. A Freedom Democratic spokesman in Lexington said the FDP objected to the bond issue because the hospital "does not take charity cases" and part of the money raised would be used to build private rooms. Doyle said the Holmes bond sale can go through, but if a hearing (expected next week), results in restraining the sale, it could be halted until voters in Holmes express their will via an election.

CATHOLIC LIBRARY STAFF URGES USE OF DOWNTOWN BUS SERVICE Ready transportation for short trips within downtown area was provided recently by the new bus service of the Jackson City Bus Lines for only five cents a ride. The Downtown Bus Routes include going west on Capitol and marking a loop back on Amite Street, by way of North West, High, and North State, then one going east either a loop via Pearl to Mill and a turn on North State to High Street and back by the way of North and Mississippi Streets.

These bus trips are scheduled for shopping between A.M. to 3 P.M. Monday through Friday. The Jackson Municipal library Wednesday said its staff urges patrons to use these buses to come to the library while downtown. "With the congested parking problem in the downtown district this is an excellent solution for many who should take advantage of this service," say the librarians.

BOOZE Continued From Page Legislature will have to act." The County Club was attempting to have thrown out charges of illegal liquor possession against Asst. Manager Charles Wood, who was arrested in the Feb. 4 raid at a party for Jackson's high society, including Gov. Paul Johnson. Prohibition statutes have become unconstitutional through usage, the club contends, of black market taxes levied by the state and some local governments and general laxity that allows widespread sales.

Testimony Thursday and Friday showed legislators and police officers consume liquor. Police Chief W. D. Rayfield of Jackson testified Friday he had served as president of the Tennessee Mississippi Peace Officers Association and that most Mississippi officers were members. AT MEETINGS "Did they make alcoholic beverages available at the (association's) conventions?" an attorney asked.

"Yes," Rayfield answered. "I don't know how they got it. There was a room in the hotel called the 'hospitality It was there." Thursday, Rep. Russell Davis of Hinds County testified that liquor was served at parties attended by legislators in Jackson, and that most legislators attended the parties. Dist.

Atty. George Warner of Meridian testified liquor was sold in the counties of his 10th circuit district, Lauderdale, Clarke and Wayne. "We have controlled enforcement in Lauderdale and Wayne counties and strict enforcement in Clarke," said Warner, who is serving his first term. Strict enforcement, he said, meant Clarke County liquor was "strictly bootleg variety" with open sales. Controlled enforcement meant officers closed places that sell to minors or have disturbances, Warner said.

"In Clarke County," Warner said, "we have been able to obtain a jury and conviction (for liquor violations). By my observation. it would be almost impossible to obtain a jury in the other two counties." Warner said grand juries take the position that the state of Mississippi was in the liquor business through the black market tax and won't indict. LEGGERS PAY FINES Asked if bootleggers paid fines before affidavits were issued, Warner answered: "A lot have been in bustness for years and years and years. If they have to pay a fine and the time comes for them to pay it, they pay it.

Nobody has to come looking for them."

"No sir. But I came real close once: I got a hung jury." City Prosecutor Jack A. Travis of Jackson added: "It's a waste of time to try them fore a jury. A jury'll turn them loose." The black market taxes, he said, "absolutely prohibit convictions in the vast majority of cases." The Jackson Police department, he said, had a section that got search warrants when they found liquor was being bootlegged. He said he knew of no other country clubs whose operators were arrested in the county for possession of liquor, as was Wood.

Jackson has country clubs within its limits, while the Country Club of Jackson is just outside.

Neitzel investigated the Grand Village of the Natchez under a National Science Foundation, grant to the Department of Archives and History and his monograph on this subject was published in 1965 as Volume 51, Part 1 Anthropological Papers of the American Museum of Natural History.

"Mr. Neitzel is now recognized as the authority on the Natchez Indians," said Miss Charlotte Capers, director of the State Historical Museum, "and the publication of his study is a very nice professional recognition of his work.

After the Coliseum talk, Kennedy spent 30 minutes in a swirl of students on the Coliseum floor, smiling and shaking hands. Many students accompanied as he walked about the campus. The Kennedy party flew to Oxford from Memphis, a private plane, arriving in Memphis via airliner. The Kennedys, riding aboard a chartered press plane, took off at 5 p.m.

At the Coliseum, when asked how to best go about reshaping the "loyal" Democratic in Mississippi, Kennedy replied: "I think it's going to be damn tough." There is a great deal of mistrust of the party by Mississippians nowadays, he added, with most of it due to "misunderstandings." Kennedy said one big reason he made the trip to Ole Miss was to try to re-establish trust.
