said that on their first orbit the male and female comrades moved to w'ithin three miles of each other As they entered the second day of their joint flight the first woman cosmonaut Valen- a feat that appeared to duplicate the flight of the Soviet space twins last August Tass the Soviet news agency said: "According to more precise data about the trajectory of the flight of the spaceship Vostok 5 and Vostok 6 the smallest distance between them on the first dezvous in space Observers noted however that Miss Tereshkova is not a trained pilot and might not be able to carry out her role in a

at the White House today to hear appeals from President Kennedy that they act to improve the lot of Negro Americans The separate sessions are part of Kennedy's two-pronged attack on inequality: Using persuasion of private citizens to try to speed desegregation sounding out key members of Congress prior to dispatch of his civil rights legislative package to Capitol Hill later this week On the voluntary front Kennedy already has met with business and labor groups with several governors and a week ago in Hawaii with the mayors Another session with governors is planned for Tuesday and there have been reports he will meet with educators Wednesday The President called in congressional leaders last week This morning's repeat session comes amid signs that civil rights supporters still lack the votes to kill the filibuster Southern senators are almost certain to mount in opposition to legislation House passage of some form of civil rights legislation is regarded as likely The story is apt to be different in the Senate for an Associated Press canvass indicates leaders cannot count on marshalling the two-thirds of those voting to shut off debate The Dixie key target probably will be an expected administration proposal calling for legal steps to prevent discrimination in public places and private businesses The Kennedy program probably will include too proposals to strengthen voting rights authorize the attorney general to act legally to speed school integration and to extend the life of the Civil Rights Commission The canvass shows that since May 9 1962 when an effort to cut off talk on a bill to abolish state literacy tests in voting was defeated 53 to 43 there has been a shift of 10 votes to the support of cloture Senators aosent for the 1962 test are expected to swell the total by three In a check of senators outside the South an additional eight members representing votes cast against cloture on the literacy expected to be part of the new package they might be persuaded under certain circumstances to vote to cut off talk Five senators stood firm on their determination to vote again against cloture Ten others represented in the anti-cloture group In 1962

experience keenly Strapped to her space couch she smiled frequently as she was seen speaking into a microphone attached to her helmet Obviously aware she was being watched by television viewers all

will remain aloft Unofficial reports said they will land at short intervals within a day or so The Soviet Union perlormed a similar feat last August when it launched space twins Pavel Popovich and Andrian Nikolayev Nik-olayev went up Aug 11 and Popovich the following day After a record-breaking flight they came down Aug 15 Popovich and Nikolayev said they saw each other as soon as both were in orbit They (aid they sang a duet by radio and compared notes A government space expert in Tokyo predicted that Bykovsky would be returned to earth tonight because the lessening in orbital time of his ship would make continued space travel dangerous "The orbital time of Vostok 5 was reduced to 88 minutes 11 seconds on its 36th said Yo-shiaki Nakata chief of the ionosphere section of the Radio Research Institute in Tokyo "At this rate the time will be reduced to less than 88 minutes by its 60th orbit tomorrow and unmanned space ships in the past have all disintegrated at this orbital pace"

representatives further negotiations with these people are and urged that National Guard troops be kept in the community Mrs Richardson said the reply was delayed until today "because we felt Sunday a most inappropriate day to reply to such a dastardly statement issued by the white political structure of this city and county "We note with irony that the white political leaders that have attempted to portray themselves to the public as men of peace and good will have abruptly caused a breakoff in negotiations "On Sunday a day when all men should have turned to God in this crisis we find instead the city fathers were plotting like Dudases and resorting to political manipulation on a grave moral issue We feel they demonstrated a lack of faith in reaching a real solution to the problem faced by the total community during the past few days" Mrs Richardson would not elaborate on the prepared statement Racial disorders including four straight nights of mass marches through the business district
