Slrikp Mlos 12G Pianist General Motors, Union Agree On New Contract Reds Resume Blame U.S., Britain MOSCOW (TP) The Soviet Union announced last night it has resumed nuclear test blasting after a six-month suspension. The Soviet ackowledgement came within an hour after Washington announced detection of the second pair of Soviet blasts this week. The first were Tuesday.

Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko announced before the Supreme Soviet March 31 the decision to stop the tests. AT THAT TIME, a Tass statement last night said, the Kremlin said that if American and Britain failed to follow ts example "the Govt of the USSR would be free to act in the question of Soviet nuclear tests, bearing in mind the security interests of the USSR." Tass accused the U. S. and Britain of using the Soviet test suspension "to secure the greatest possible military advantage for their side, thus ignoring the will of the peoples." It declared: "THIS IS EVIDENCED by the fact that precisely after March 31 that is, the moment the Soviet Union suspended nuclear tests and called upon other countries to follow suit the: Govts of the U. S.

and the United Kingdom undertook the biggest ever series of tests of atomic and hydrogen weapons. "The U. S. alone has set off about 40 nuclear shots during this period." Tass added: "CONSIDERING THIS, the Soviet Govt cannot allow the security interests of the Soviet state to suffer because of such actions of the U.S and the United Kingdom." Talks are to begin Oct. 31 at Geneva between the Soviet Union on one hand and Britain and the U.

S. on the other to seek an agreement on suspending tests under adequate safeguards. Inshlc Today Law Courts Would Lose Power Under Proposal By ROBERT W. DELANEY Sentinel Tallahassee Bureau TALLAHASSEE Gov. LcRoy Collins said yesterday he is "unalterably opposed" to any legislation that would close Florida's public schools beyond the authority he already has to close any facility "when the continued operation of it would imperil the public welfare and security." Collins said, "I just feel that our public school system is the very backbone, of our state.

I don't think that any circumstance will develop in this picture which would cause me to favor a program under which public schools would be closed." COLLINS REVEALED he is drafting a bill he hopes will lead to action in the next Congress to ease the South's school segregation crisis. Collins said he will submit the plan, Text of governor's conference is on Tage 4-A. stripping federal courts of their power to force school integration, to the executive committee of the nation's governors. He will suggest the governors representing both North and South seek a meeting of top congresional leaders and Pres. Eisenhower to consider it.

The Florida governor is chairman of the nation's governors. COLLINS SAID he is drafting "the form of a bill" to submit to Congress. He is not ready to go into specific details of its contents, but in the main it would call for creation of state commissions to decide how and when any particular school should be integrated. He admitted approval of the plan would not come easy. The governor would not say whether he would go along with a so-called "parent option" bill which has drawn some tentative support from Atty.

General Richard Ervin and School Supt. Thomas D. Bailey. SUCH A BILL was introduced in the 1957 session by Reps. Beth Johnson of Orlando and Ben Hill Grififn of Polk County, during the fight over the last resort bill which would permit closing the schools.

Collins supnorters in the legislature preferred it to the last resort bill but it was lost in the shuffle of the closing days of the session. Commenting on a letter to the editor from former Gov. Fuller Warren in Wednesday's Sentinel, Collins said Warren "grossly misrepresented" his suggestion for congressional action on the segregation problem. WARREN SAID he thought Southern senators would filibuster Collins' idea to death. The governor said yesterday, "The former governor's statement grossly misrepresented the suggestion that I made regarding the plan itself.

The plan would provide for congressional action which would facilitate desegregation where, when and how it was feasible. "But further, and of greater importance," he added, "the plan also provides for safeguards and protection against the improvident coercion of integration anvwhere. And this is what gives the plan strength." OX THE SAME subject Collins said he does not believe complete desegregation will ever be accomplished in the foreseeable future. He added, "I don't think that complete desegregation is desired even by anyone. Certainly I don't think that it should be accomplished." Plus SlarfighlerK 1 lBigU.S.B57 A Jet Bombers On Formosa By Sentinel Services TAIPEI, Formosa The U.

S. has sent B57 jet bombers, capable of carrying a atomic bombload, into the Formosa area, it was disclosed yesterday. UPI Correspondent Charles Smith reported from a Formosan airport that newsmen had seen the fast, high-altitude planes being unpacked and prepared for flight at a Formosa airport. Smith said an American military spokesman would not confirm that the two-engine Canberra jets were based on Formosa but had said: "You can be sure that they are in the Formosa area as part of the composite air tactical force deployed to the Western Pacific." IN WASHINGTON, the Defense Dept. said the U.

S. was giving Nationalist China two RB57's, reconnaissance versions of the B57 bomber, and that they were scheduled to arrive in Formosa at this time. Smith said the planes were seen at an airport already bristling with U. S. 104 Starfighters, the world's fastest fighter planes.

B57 bombers would be able to range into the China heartland at an eight-mile height which Communist MIG fighter planes could not reach. IN MOSCOW, the Soviet Radio warned that if the Nationalists should use atomic weapons against Communist China, "the Americans will answer for it the whole American nation may be involved in the conflict." The U.S. Air Force also flew the first elements of a 16-plane squadron of 119 Flying Boxcar cargo planes from Okinawa to Formosa to help supply beseiged UPI Corresondent William Miller, who arrived in one of the first three C119's to, touch down on Formosa, said the planes were "part of a hurry-up aid program." In Washington, State Sec. Dulles sought to reassure Chaing Kai-shek yesterday of continued U.S. support for his Nationalist China Govt.

DULLES SENT A message to Formosa in the wake of Chiang's outcry Wednesday against statements by Dulles the day before. Dulles said yesterday he wanted to straighten out confusion compoundedwhat he called "an exaggerated idea of a shift of position on our part misinterpreting the misinterpretation." The secretary made this comment as he took a plane for his Duck Island retreat on Lake Ontario, not to return to his desk until Tuesday. His departure was interpreted as a sign of confidence that the Formosa crisis has eased sufficiently for him to take a few days off. DULLES DID NOT deny any. shift in policy.

Although his news conference remarks two days ago were widely interpreted that way, State Dept. officials said it was more a shift in emphasis than a shift in policy. They said this basic policy remains: No appeasement of Red Chinese aggression but willingness to negotiate peacefully, support by arms if necessary for the existence of Nationalist China on Formosa. Need a Plumber? BE SHARPER! CALL HARPEH Phone Ml FCC To Probe WLOF Award Of Channel 9 WASHINGTON The Federal Communications Commission yesterday announced a staff investigation to determine whether any irregularities figured in the award of TV Channel 9 at Orlando in mid-1957. The grant was made to Mid-Florida Television which now operates Orlando's WLOF-TV on Channel 9.

A rival bidder, WrORZ, is now asking the Supreme Court to review a decision of the U. S. Court of Appeals here affirming the grant to Mid-Florida. The commission's announcement yesterday noted that the Channel 9 contest has figured in allegations before a House investigating committee that unusual pressures figured in a number of TV channel contests ing the last few years. COMMITTEE COUNSEL Robert W.

Lishman asserted his staff had looked into more than a half-dozen contests, including those for Channel 9 at Orlando, and that they reflected a pattern of efforts by applicants to contact commission members privately. Committee investigator Stephen J. Angland testified that an Orlando attorney for Mid-Florida Television, identified as William H. Dial, had privately contacted Commr. Richard A.

Mack, who resigned under fire last March during an investigation of a Channel 10 contest in Miami. Dial said last night his contact with Mack was "strictly social." I' WE HAD BEEN friends at college," Dial said, "and he had invited me to dinner several times. I was not employed by WLOF-TV at the time we talked and had done nothing for WLOF-TV in connection with its petition for a television license. My work for WLOF was entirely on local matters and that was several years ago." In connection with its Channel 9 investigation, the FCC said it will "report the results and take such further action as in its judgment appears appropriate at that time." The Channel 10 contest is now in rehearing. THE COMMISSION yesterday also took note of testimony before the House committee that Mack had been contacted by a Florida friend while the commission was considering a four-way contest for Miami's Channel Seven.

cut loose from the main settlement while negotiators continued to work on issues applying to them only, which were still unsolved. SO FAR, General Motors has produced something less than 70,000 of its 1959 models in all lines led by Buick, the company to change over. Buick began its new model production Aug. 18. but most of the other models, Chevrolet, Pontiac, Oldsmobile and Cadillac, changed over in September.

GM- Vice Pres. Louis G. Seaton, top company negotiator, labeled the strike a "useless" one, and estimated it would cost workers $5 million a day and the company another $5 million a day. In -Hospital Mack Seeks Trial Delay WASHINGTON UP) The defense of Richard A. Mack arranged yesterday to seek a delay before the former federal communications commissioner faces a U.

S. court on corruption charges. Nicholas J. Chase, Washington attorney for Mack, said he will ask for at least a month's continuance of Mack's scheduled arraignment here today on charges of corrupt influence in the award of a TV channel at Miami. Mack is under treatment in a Miami hospital as a result of injuries reported to have been suffered in a fall there several days ago.

HOWEVER, JUSTICE Dept. officials said they were advised Miami Atty. Thurman A. Whiteside will appear as scheduled. Whiteside, from whom Mack acepted financial favors, was indicted with the former commissioner on charges growing out of the award of Channel 10 to a National Airlines subsidiary last year.

DETROIT (LTD The United Auto Workers Union and General Motors Co. last night announced agreement on three -year contracts. The agreement was announced at 10:43 p.m. and completed the UAW's negotiations with the big three auto companies. Although full details of the agreement were not immediately available, it was known the company granted somewhat less than one-ct.

THKRE WERE NO provisions in the new agreement to take care of the UAW's demand for elimination of short work week problems, It was learned that the agreement between the UAW and General Motors paralleled the agreement reached with Ford Motor Co. Sept. 17. Earlier yesterday, a nationwide strike by United Auto Workers against General Motors shut down 126 plants in 71 cities, halted the company's 1959 model car production and brought an estimated economic loss of $10 million a day to company suppliers and workers.

Some 275,000 union workers walked out when a 10 a.m. strike deadline passed without settlement on a new contract between GM and the UAW. In sqme cases, the workers struck ahead of the deadline. GENERAL MOTORS was faced with "going it alone" on the strike front while the other two of the "Big Three" auto companies, Ford and Chrysler, swung into high gear on new model production with contract settlements behind them. However, Chrysler, which settled only Wednesday, was hampered yesterday by a walkout of some 3,980 union office workers who were protesting their exclusion from the master Chrysler contract.
