(AP) Rebel Democrats rolled roughshod over loyalist opposition today and won state convention approval for un- pledged presidential electors on the presidential election ballot in November. The state convention approved two slates of electors, one pledged to the party's Kennedy Johnson ticket, and one unpledged and free to bargain with the national party for civil rights concessions if the election is close and the state's votes are needed to win the election. Loyalists battled to forbid the independent electors to go on the ballot as Democrats, but were outnumbered from the start. NO DEBATE The rebellious faction did not get into a floor debate with the loyalists, spearheaded by state Sen. E.

K. Collins of Laurel. They simple voted every loyalist move down. House Speaker Walter Sillers of Bolivar County presented the re- ports of the committees, which met jointly through most of the morning. The loyalist slate included Frank Hughes of Corinth, Dr.

Ed Stephens of Pearl River County, Curtis Mullen of Canton and Mrs. Lovie Gore of Sturgis. REBEL DEMOS The independent slate included editor Henry Harris of West Point, state Rep.

The Air Force officer broke a number of high altitude records in his dawn plunge from high above the New Mexico desert. Air Force spokesmen said the exact altitude from which he jumped was not immediately determined but it was a minimum of 102800 feet and a maximum of 103,300. mim 3011 ensioos Foreign Ministers Gather for Talks SAN JOSE, Costa Rica (AP) Foreign ministers of the American republics assembled here today amid warnings that the Soviet Union's rising interest in the hemisphere has sharpened ten sions in the Caribbean area. The warning came in a 250-page report of the Inter-American Peace Committee, made public as the Organization of American States OAS prepared to open its conference of foreign ministers to night.

Marshall was secretary of state and headed the U.S. delegation. Whiting Willauer, U.S. ambas- saor to Costa Rica, predicted the Communists would start trouble during the ministers' parley, but he expressed confidence Costa Ri- can reaction would be strongly against such demonstrations. The Communist party is illegal in Cos ta Rica, but there are about 300 card-carrying Reds here, Willauer said.

While she and salesman were earnestly discussing a bathtub the two-year-old unnoticed climbed up on another fixture and made himself at home. There was a time when everyone became interested in the cotton planting season in this area.

Since less cotton is now planted, the early spring chores of cotton planting are no longer a subject of springtime chatter. But in Biloxi the shrimp crop is still an important conversation topic. This week the shrimping season opened in Biloxi and shrimp is once more the subject of town chatter. Think of those two little pa-jama-clad girls, ages 11 and 12, who were spending the night together ia Lucedale. They decided to make a midnight drive.

Neither had ever driven a car. They drove in the direction of Mobile intending to ride a mile or so and go back to bed. In Mobile, 4D miles away, they were arested for traffic violations. They said they went to Mobile because they could not find a place in the road big enough for them to turn around and go back. Well, Jimmy is married.

Jimmy Boyd, it will be recalled, became nationally famous about 10 years ago when he sang, Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus." He is the son of Mrs. Leslie Boyd of McComb. The bride is a young television star, Yvonne Craig. They're honeymooning in Mexico just now. The Pike County delegation to the State Democratic Convention has certainly come forth with a fair proposal.

It proposes to nominate two sets of electors a set of Democrats to support the Kennedy team and another set to vote independently. The Pike County position is fair. Yet, isn't it a strange predicament when a party is so divided in a state that the people in it consider two sets of electors one to do what the Democratic Party wants done and another to oppose what the Democratic Party -seeks to attain.

Our esteemed young editor of the Tylertown Times, Paul Pitt-man, is president of the Young Democrats of Mississippi.

He recently signed a joint statement with Bidwell Adam, chairman of the Mississippi Executive Committee. This statement caSed for loyalty to the Democratic Party. Now some of the young Democrats of Mississippi say that Paul doesn't have the right to speak for the organization. Signers of the statement of resentment include a former president of the Young Democrats of Mississippi. The objectors to the loyalty statement say that the young Democrats should hold a convention and then decide the stand to be taken.

Every campaign for president brings forth some particular terms. In Mississippi an old terra is being stressed. It is the term "loyalists." It refers to the individuals who remain loyal to the Democratic Party and who expect to support candidates Kennedy and Johnson.

Several of the other original electors, including Evans and state Sen. W. B.

Alexander of Boyle, favored the independent elector idea. The convention began 30 minutes late and recessed immediately after it got underway so the committees could meet. It was almost noon before the report was presented.

The executive committee of the Mississippi Young Democrats joined the loyalist camp Sunday. But this action was disputed ves- terday by four Young Democrats, who called for a state convention to determine the group's stand. Barnett reiterated yesterday his claim that a vote for either Sen. j0hn F. Kennedy, the Democratic nominee, or Vice President Nixon, the GOP candidate, was a vote in favor of integrating all schools by 1963.

Backing Barnett's call for in- dependent electors are Reps. William Colmer and John Bell Williams. Rep. Arthur Winstead has been critical. 4 4.

1- Lumumba's Police Raid Homes, Hotels LEOPOLDVILLE, the Congo (AP) Premier Patrice Lumumba's Congolese police swept through Leopoldville homes and hotels today, arresting Europeans and United Nations personnel. U. N. Undersecretary Ralph Bunche intervened personally to obtain the release of two U. N.

officers the Congo police picked up. The police said the officers "were Belgians camouflaged un der U. N. uniform." The Congolese police raided the residence housing most of the U. N.

personnel and offices and made several arrests. Shortly afW er the police left, a cordon -d'f U. N. soldiers from Ghana with fixed bayonets was thrown around the residence. Lumumba made his show of force 12 hours after U.

N. Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold left for New York to get a Security Council ruling on demands that U. N. soldiers enforce the Premier's authority throughout the turbulent Congo. Hammarskjold decided to return to the 11-nation Council for new instructions after Lumumba in a series of three bitter letters said he no longer had confidence in the.

secretary-general. The fiery Congolese leader presented demands for sweeping U.N. help in putting down dissidents against his rule and creation of an Asian-African commission to take over Hammarskjold's supervision of the U. N. effort in the strife-torn area.

Henry, a merchant from Union, said the mass meeting was held after several white residents in the area became "discouraged" about the situation. According to the secretary of state's office at Jackson, it refused a charter for the college last April after the attorney general's office deemed it would not be in the "best interest of the state." IN REMOTE AREA The college is situated in a remote area of Neshoba County, with the nearest telephone four miles away. Henry said the crowd went to the home of the college secretary, James Stewart, a Negro who lies on the grounds, and asked that the college be disbanded or moved.

NEXT STEP UNCERTAIN The whites, Henry continued, requested Stewart to "send his out-of-state colored people away from there within 48 hours or we will not be responsible for anything that would happen to them." Henry did not indicate what would be the next step if the college did not move. In Anderson, E. F. Adcock, an official of the Church of God under whose auspices the college is being built, said "We realize the problem in the South. We don't like to unnecessarily anger these popl.

Clark on a secret submarine mission to North Africa to negotiate with French army officers. The landing which followed was virtually unopposed. Later in the war Lemnitzer was chief of staff of the British-led Allied command in the Mediterranean. He also took part in secret negotiations leading to the surrender of Italy and the capitulation of German forces in that area. The general's military decorations give a quick indication of his service background.

Ml mys Lemnifzer iliiary Post Gf ers WASHINGTON (AP) Gtn. Ly- man Louis Lemnitzer, a crack military negotiator-diplomat with an impressive array of battle decorations, has been tapped for the Pentagon's top service post.

President Eisenhower Monday selected the bemedaled Army general to be chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The appointment is subject to Senate confirmation. Lemnitzer, who became a qualified Army parachutist nine years ago when he was 51, would succeed Air Force Gen. Nathan F. Twining who has requested retirement because of poor health.

No date has been set for Twining' retirement. Lemnitzer became chief of staff of the Army a year ago last month. He had promised the Senate he would always give Congress and the nation his professional judgment on Army or defense needs, even if his views clashed with budget limitations. A few months earlier, when many thought U.S.-Soviet relations were on the upswing, Lemnitzer advised that there had been no change in the Communist objective of lulling the free world with a peace offensive and then I op posal for a slate of uncommitted electors who could cast the state eight electoral votes in any manner deemed best for the South.
