At least a mile of beach was saturated with shells.

Possibly tha smoke cloud was set by the ships to screen the unloading. When it thinned, the beached ships were gone. (The defense ministry in Taipei later announced that the ships had not succeeded in unloading their full cargo). The shelling over a mile area seemed wild and apparently directed at hitting an area rather than a direct target.

Meanwhile, 42 more Negroes en rolled at the lakefront institution Thursday, bringing the total of Ne groes registered at LSU to 53. At the same time, LSU attorneys filed an answer in U.S. District Court to the original complaint of the 10 Negroes who brought the suit that resulted in issuance of a preliminary injunction Monday by U.

Twl ships came In to Liao Lu Beach, where the twisted hull of an ammunition carrying LSM (Land, ing Ship, Medium) that was destroyed there Monday attests to the deadliness of the Red artillery, Then a Red Chinese shell landed 300 yards inland. The ships wheeled and started back to sea. Apparent ly they had acted as decoys, because four LSM's swung out of the convoy and headed for the open beach area near the emergency airstrip.

These four that attempted the landing went to Shatao Beach. REMAIN OFFSHORE The American escort vessels meanwhile remained three miles offshore, away from the Red artillery. An LVT (Landing Vehicle, Tracked) rolled out of the first beached LSM and traced across the sandy stretch and up a dusty road. We got aboard our weapons carrier to move closer to the unloading for pictures. The vehicle failed to start for a minute, and a Nationalist officer told us not to move.

We agreed with him when a Red shell burst overhead. We dashed inside a concrete underground radio station. The shells then started pounding the earth above us so rapidly that we lost count. We tried to count the number of rounds for a five-minute period, but there were so many around us and on the beach that the explosions blended into one thunderous roar. I began typing and had finished three paragraphs of description in this dispatch when a direct hit on munist Chinese also started unloading with artillery fire.

It was a saturation effort. About the best description is that of Charles Lowe, of United Press Movietone, who said the shelling around the landing ships at the beach made "the sea look like boiling water." The first cargo vessel beached at 3:25 p.m., the second at 26. He had stood atop a high hill, four of us newsmen, for an hour and a half awaiting the arrival of the convoy over the horison. The hill overlooks the eastern beach of Big Quemoy Island. We sighted the first ship at 2:15 p.m.

The prepared statement was issued after Wisdom conferred with attorneyi representing LSU and the Negro plaintiffs Assistant Atty.Gen. William P. Schuler for LSU and Negro attorney A. P. Tureaud for Negro students.

At the end of registration Thursday 1,430 persons had registered at LSU. Dean Homer L. Hitt said S3 of them were Negroes. Hitt added that registration will be completed Friday, the day classes start. Saturday the LSU board of supervisors plans to meet to wrestle with the problem of running a racially integrated four-year college in New Orleans.

LSU President Troy Middleton explained the special board meeting was called because "our attorneys asked for it." He declined further comment. OUT OF TOWN Board chairman Theo Cangelosi was out of town and unavailable for comment. Asst. Atty. Gen.

George Ponder said the meeting was called several weeks ago for discussion of the integration suit. "We knew that if Negroes were admitted, LSU would have administrative problems," he said. "If the judges granted the stay we asked for, then a discussion of our appeal would be necessary." Negroes have attended the graduate school on the Baton Rouge campus since 1930. They also attend as undergraduates at McNeese State College in Lake Charles, Southeastern Louisiana College in Hammond and Southwestern Louisiana Institute at Lafayette. LSU's policy is to admit Negroes nly under federal court order.

PLEA FOR STAY Before the appellate court Is the issue whether to grant LSU's plea for a stay of the preliminary injunction under which the Negroes registered. LSU has already filed notice of its intention to appeal the decision. Appellate Judge Minor Wisdom Thursday refused to delay the effect of the order to admit all qualified Negroes before the opening classes Friday. Wisdom said the question would be decided "in a day or two." Later Wisdom issued the fodlow-ing statement: "Judge Joseph Hutcheson and Two Escapees From Angola Are Captured ANGOLA, Sept. 11 W) Blood DEBBIE REYNOLDS, faced with the break-up of her marriage to Eddie Fisher, keeps her emotions concealed beneath a veneer of smiles yesterday as she chats briefly with newsmen outside her Hollywood home.

Hebert, 19-year-old Erath youth, is serving three years for simple burglary, while the 21-year-old Daigle, who lives in Breaux Bridge, is serving six years for aggravated burglary.

They had little in common except their husbands' friendships. Mike Todd died in a fiery plane crash last March. The Fishers rushed to the widow's side. The tragedy seemed to draw them closer together. But the square of friendship was now reduced to a triangle.

After a period of grief, Liz returned to work and then to the social scene. She dabbled with long-timed friend, Arthur Loew but he bored her. She renewed friendship with her first husband, Nicky Hilton. Still bored, she decided to take a trip to Europe. By a stroke of chance, perhaps, she was in New York when Eddie Fisher was there said they were captured without resistance.

"I doubt that they swam the river," Allgood said. "It was rough last night. We think they made it over either with a small boat or an inner tube. "We had a report during the night from a barge man who heard some men yelling for help. They said their boat capsized, but the man couldn't get to them." Allgood said Hebert and Daigle had been placed in punishment cells.

PORTOROZ, Yugoslavia, Sept. 11 Iff Bobby Fischer of Brooklyn, 15-year-old United States chess champion, became a chess grand master today, the youngest ever to hold this title in chess history. Fischer placed fifth at the interzonal chess tournament here played in framework of world championship competition and thus automatically received the title of grand master. This marked a brilliant success for Fischer, who came to Europe to compete for the first time in his life at an international chess championship tournament. He qualified also for the next year's tournament of candidates, the winne of which plays for the world championship with present world champion Soviet grand master Mihail Botvinik in 1960.

Hungarian refugee Paul Benko, a member of the U.S. Chess Federation, shares third with Soviet Grand Master Tigran Petrosyan. Benko, too, became a grand master.

Benko left Hungary after 1956 in his homeland. Hungarion refugees contributed to enable him to come to Portoroz. He, too, will enter the tournament of candidates. Both Fischer and Benko will be the strongest entries for the candidates tournament from the West. Their likely opponents will be Paul Keres and Vasili Smislov, who placed first and second at the last candidates tournament and the first to sixth placed at Portoroz, among them Soviet grand masters Mikhal Talj and Tigran Petrosyan, and Yugoslav grand master Svetozar Gligoric.

The eighth entry has not yet been decided and depends on the outcome of the tournament here, which will end tonight.

Bell Ruling May Come on Tuesday BATON ROUGE, Sept. 11 tff -A decision on the Southern Bell Telephone Co. case may come during a three-day hearing by the Louisiana Public Service Commission opening in Monroe next Tuesday. Commissioner John McKeithen said in a telephone interview yesterday the commission may hand down its decision then on Southern Bell's request for an $8,191,666 rate hike. The commission has held eight months of bitter hearings on the telephone rate issue.

Telephone rates in Louisiana were slashed nearly four million dollars in 1956, and the move was upheld by the State Supreme Court later. Southern Bell applied for a rate increase last year. The company argued low earnings have blocked needed expansion. McKeithen said if the decision is not ready next week it will be handed down soon afterward.

"I told her two years ago to tell reporters nothing." said the governor, "and she followed her instructions too well. She should have said she had no comment rather than saying she did not know Picola Parker."
