Jackson Resigning As Demo Chief WASHINGTON (AP)-Sen. Hen- ry M.

Jackson of Washington said Thursday he will resign his Dem- ocratic party chairmanship at the time President-elect John F. Ken- nedy takes office next month. Teclmicdly, the Democratic Na- tional Commitlee will name Jack- son's successor. praclice, president's wishes oh the top par- ty post are always respected but Kennedy gave no immediate hint of his choice. Jackson's announcement came alter a 20-minute session with the president-elect.

The Washington senator, at 48 the Democrats' youngest party chief of modern times, reminded newsmen that when he took the job last July 16 he announced he would serve only until shortly after the election. Kennedy told reporters "we couldn't possibly have won" the Nov. election without Jackson's leadership. The Massachusetts senator expressed hope the na- tional committee would meet with- in six weeks to designate a suc- cessor to take over at once when Jackson's resignation becomes ef- fective, either on Jan. 20, inaugu- ration day, or on Jan.

21. When Kennedy tapped him for the job at the Democratic Nation- al Convention, Lutheran Jackson became the first Protestant to hold the party chairmanship in 32 years. The fact that Kennedy him- self is a Catholic was believed to have influenced his decision not to give the top party post to one of his faith. Canterbury Asks 'Cold War'End ROME (AP) The Arch- bishop of Canterbury, here for an historic meeting with Pope John XXIII, pleaded Thursday night for- a speedy end to the "cold war" between Christian churches. The archbishop, Dr.

Geoffrey Fisher, prayed that "rival juris- dictions 1 may coexist in peace, urged that Christian churches cease being competitive, and that, without treading on each others' toes on doctrinal mat- ters, they become cooperative overturning the election of John F. Kennedy to the presidency. COP National Chairman Thru- ston fi. Morton announced forma- tion of a National Recount and Fair Elections Committee to check every suspicious stale." He will head it himself, in announced effort to expose to the public what he called "shocking irregularities and fraud in this election which constitutes a na- tional disgrace." But, when asked whether there is good chance of switching the result of the Nov. 8 election so that Vice President Richard Nixon might be declared the win- ner, Morton replied: "Frankly I don't think, because of the time element involved, there is too much of a chance of that." Morton called a news conference at Republican national head- quarters tb'discuss the sirdation and tell of his plans.

The lime elemenl he mentioned slems from the fact that the presi- dential elecloral votes are to be counted Dec. 19, and Democrat Kennedy now is credited with 300 elecloral votes to 223 for Nixon, with 14 unpledged. It takes 269, or a majority of the 537 electoral votes, to win. The popular vote stood Kennedy Nixon 33,960,967, a plu- rality of 166,369 for Kennedy. This was on the basis of official returns from 33 states and unoffi- cial returns from the other 17.

Only 161 precincts out of 166,064 were uncounted. Morton cited Texas, parts of New Jersey, Nevada and Missouri as places the Republican investigators would be interested in. He especially complained of Cook County, the Chicago Democratic stronghold. But even if Illinois' 27 electoral votes were switched, Kennedy still would have 273, or four more man enbugh.

CAP) --The captain's wile was taken ofi a storm-battered and stranded Liberian freighter Thursday. The skipper and his 12-man crew were left aboard. Anastisia Trivizas of Corfu, Greece, was removed from the Francisco Morazan by a boarding party from the Coast Guard cut- ter Mackinaw.

She is two months pregnant. She was brought by hel- icopter to a hospital here. Her husband's 246-foot ship has been aground on rocks off South Manitou Island in upper Lake Michigan since being driven there by a fierce, snow-laden storm last Tuesday night. Capt. Eduardo Trivizas has a crew of Greek and Spanish seamen.

The Traverse City Coast Guard station, meanwhile, flew a marine engineer and an indemnity inves- tigator to the water-logged ship, Melvin J. Tublin, representing an insurance firm, and James E. Sweeney, a marine surveyor, con- ferred with Capt. Trivizas and Coast Guard officials on disposal of the stranded freighter. Both Tublin and Sweeney came here from York.

Tlie oceangoing Morazan, owned by Moa Naviera of Monrovia, Liberia, carries between 900 and 1,000 tons of general cargo bound via the St. Lawrence Seaway from lower Lake Michigan ports to Rotterdam. The cargo includes lard, canned goods, hides and packaged goods. Nixon Heads Party--Ike WASHINGTON (AP)-Gov. Nel- son A.

Rockefeller of New York said Thursday he does not regard Vice President Richard M. Nixon as the actual leader of the Re- publican party. He conceded only lhal Nixon is the lilular leader. Rockefeller made the state- ments at the White House after a long talk with President Eisen- hower who said only Wednesday night that Nixon would he re- garded as head of the party lor the next four years. Reminded of Eisenhower's stamp of approval tor Nixon as the leader, Rockefeller said: "I wouldn't want to debate with ihe President on that subject."

Expanding, ha said that ii the Republican party is going lo grow stronger, then it will need Uie work of party leaders in all the states. And he said he intends to concentrate on New York. Rockefeller announced Tuesday for re-election as governor in 3962 but has not said whether he will try again for the presidential nomination in 1961, Tlie governor was asked Thurs- day whether he thought that Nix- on, because of his close race for the presidency this year against Democrat John F. Kennedy, would be the natural GOP nominee in 1861. Rockefeller replied only: 'Tour years seems a long way off." lie did say lie would have break- fast with Nixon Friday, and that ho intended to cooperate with the vice president in every way to strengthen their party.

Two days ago Rockefeller told a news conference at Albany that a party without a president in of- fice is without an actual head ex- cept perhaps for the chairman of its national committee. That statement, which Rocke- feller repeated Thursday, was fol- lowed by ELsenhower's statemoni to a Republican dinner Wednesday night at the White House that Nix- on would be recognized ns the party's chief and that he woulc have the of Eisenhower and that of cvcrylxxiy else pre sent.

Kennedy Appoints Ribicoff As His Secretary Of Health Disturbances Mark Break In Boycott NEW ORLEANS (AP)-Shoving and kicking women--angered by a crack in them pupil boycott at integrated schools--took out after a university student, a reporter and a minister's dog Thursday. Six white children attended classes at William Frantz School, center of this week's disturbances, in contrast to the two who at- tended Wednesday. Screaming insults, picketing housewives manhandled Sydney Goldfinch, a Tulane University student, saying he led recent downtown sit-in demonstrations. They shoved and kicked him. Po- lice rescued him.

"Jew bastard. Nigger lover," the women taunted as police took the youth--son of a Baptist minis- ter--to a squad car. "I hope you have a bunch mulatto grandchildren," yelled" ona woman. Newsmen Ordered Out Police ordered reporter Jerry Hopkins of the New Orleans Times-Picayune out of the area. Women demonstrators accused Hopkins of hitting them with a campstool.

Police also forced from the neighborhood two newsmen on leave from Time and Life maga- zines. The two--Ken Smelson and Greg causing trou- ble," police said. The two men had asked a mar "Why do you oppose interracia marriage?" Several newsmen were kicked or shoved. No one was arrested Yelling women thronged around the home of the Rev. Lloyd Fore- man, a Methodist minister whose daughter attends William Frantz kindergarten.

Police kept them off the minister's lawn. The minister's dog; a black and white animal, showed up. "Look," yelled one woman, "he's even got an integrated dog." Dog Stoned Some demonstrators stones at the dog. Foreman provoked the ire of the demonstrators early in the day when he escorted his daughter and two unidentified white youngsters into William Frantz. Mrs.

James Gabrielle, whose daughter also has been attending the integrated school all week, evaded the catcalls and shoving, that previously forced police pro- tection, by showing up early with her child. A chill wind and 40-degree weather may have kept the number of pickets a bit be- low the number that demonstrated Wednesday. Pickets dressed warmly. Several women carried young children from crisis to crisis. In contrast to the tense situation at William Frantz, small groups of pickets stood quietly at the city's other integrated elementa- ry school, McDonogh No.

13. No white child has shown up there for classes all week. None did Thursday. While the women, bolstered by a scattering of men, tried to keep intact their boycott, the Louisiana Legislature in Baton Rouge rapidly voted out of committee a bill that would set up a statewide private school system.

Reds Orbit Space Ship Carrying 2 Live Dogs MOSCOW (AP)--Another big So- viet space ship canying two dogs was rocketed into orbit Thursday, Khrushchev hailed the as "a great victory and a step to man's flight into space." The Soviet Union may try to return the five-ton vehicle Friday it follows the pattern of last August, when it put two other dogs into space and brought them jack alive after 24 hours aloft. Khrushchev said he did not aiow if. his scientists will try to return the space ship and its dog- carrying capsule intact, as the sci- entists said they did on Aug.

I haven't talked to anyone about it." Tlie launching drew praise from scienlists of East and West as- sembled at the Pugwash confer- ence to discuss disarmament. But two prominent Britons at the mccling expressed strong disap- proval because so much money is being spent on space research.

Philip Noel Baker, winner of the 1959 Nobel Peace Prize, said it was a great achievement but he would like lo see space research restricted until "disarmamenl and other terrestrial problems have been dealt with." Sir Robert Walson Watt said the world could afford to wait 100 years for such achievements be- cause "we have such a lot to do here on earth." Reactions of the two new ca- nine space "explorers, Pchclka (little bee) and Mushka (little fly) are being watched by radio- television and telemetering sys- tems--as was the case in the Au- gust launching an official an- nouncement said. Tiie announcement said the space ship reached a maximum height of 154.6 miles on its orbit and that 116 miles was its closest approach to the earth. The August space ship, weighing a liltle over five tons, traveled an almost cir- cular orbit 198.8 miles up. The dogs are whizzing around the earth once every 88 minutes and 47 seconds. Moscow radio said that the space cabin also was carrying plant life and micro-organisms and the energy for radio and TV was being furnished by chemical and solar batteries.

E. K. Fedorov, vice president of the Soviet Academy of Sciences, told reporters at the Pugwash conference the primary aim of the launching is biological study. When it was pointed out to Khrushchev that this space ship was somewhat smaller than the last one--37 kilograms or about 80 pounds--he chuckled and re- plied: "It's big enough for a man to eat his dinner inside.

Rocket Fragments Fall On Hillside In Eastern Cuba HAVANA (AP)--A malfunction- ing U. rocket that was to orbit two space satellites had to be de- stroyed in flight Wednesday and Cuban officials said parts of it showered debris on. ail eastern Cuba hillside. Cuban newspapers and broadcasters charged it was "impcrialisl provocation" and aggression." The Cuban News Agency said the debris fell 10 miles from Hol- guin, Cuba's third largest city, causing "loud explosions and West Europe Union Okays NATO Nuclear Power Plan PARIS (AP)--Gen.

Civilians Open Fire On Leftists CARACAS, Venezuela (AP)-- Armed civilians rallied to Presi- dent Romulo Betancourt's har- assed democratic government Thursday night and fired on riot- ing leftist arsonists. The shooting was touched off by attempts of young, student rebels to burn a bus. Scattered gunfire between the opposing fac- tions continued for 20 minutes until National Guardsmen took over against the demonstrators.

There were no reports of injuries. It was the first time civilian government supporters turned on the leftists who have staged a bloody week-long rebellion for a Castro-type government to re- place the Bctancourt regime. The support of the civilians was reflected in rank-and-file labor union members who have gener- ally backed Belancourt in nttacks from both tfie right and left. The fight between the civilians and the leftists was in the Plaza Venezuela near Uie students' self- styled "Stalingrad" dormitory in the University of Caracas where some 230 young hard-core Marx- ists are barricaded. Tlie entrenched students opened fire from their fortress to cover the advance of a hand lhal had sallied out to bum the bus.

Support from delegates from the six other nations--France, West Germany, Italy, Holland, Belgium and Lux- embourg--was sufficient to ap- prove the project Some of the British delegates found technical objections to Nor- stad's idea, but in general there was a feeling that the opinion- of the incoming American adminis- tration should be known before a stand is taken by the U.S.

In discussing his plan, Norstad has said he hoped it would satisfy the desires of na- tions who want their own costly nuclear forces. This was obviously aimed at President Charles de Gaulle, who is going ahead with a French striking force.

Norstad's proposal probably will be discussed at a 15-nation'NATO ministerial meeting beginning in Paris Dec. 16.

A spokesntan at military headquarters in Holguin said some of the fragments weighed as much as 40 pounds but caused no damage or casual- ties.

Range officers at Cape Canav- eral, purposely destroyed the airborne rocket when something went wrong. A Defense Depart- ment spokesman said in Washing- ton the possibility that exploded rocket parts fell on Cuba could not be excluded. "The fal! of this rocket on Cuba serves to demonstrate that these Yankees know the risks involved if rockets fall on their own terri- tory, and are firing them soulh- ward from Cape Canaveral wilh- out regard lo whclher sleel and iron fragments fall on Cuba, Pan- ama, Jamaica, Puerto Rico or even Brazil," Uie semiofficial newspaper Revolucion said. Later Protest The Cuban government appar- ently did not follow up these com- plaints immediately with any for- mal diplomatic protest. The U.S.

Embassy said it has heard noth- ing. Diplomats here say they flunk it likely that Cuba wilt protest di- rectly to the United Nalions or to the Organization of American Stales, rather than complain to the United Slates. Military authorises in Holgiun, 500 miles southeast of Havana, said the rocket fragments fell af about 3 p.m. At 2:50 p.m. a Thor- Able-Star rocket had been launched from Cape Canaveral.

The Defense Department waited two hours before announcing that the 80-foot rocket had been de- stroyed afler launching. Peasants living near Holgiun said they heard a loud explosion and saw what looked to them like parts of an airplane falling. APPOINTEE--President-elect John F. Kennedy and Gov. G.

Mermen Williams of Michigan pose in chilly weather outside Kennedy's Washington, D.C., home yesterday. They were emerging following announce- ment that Williams has been chosen to be assistant secretary of state for African affairs in new admini- stration, (AP Wirephoto) Connecticut Governor In Cabinet Post WASHINGTON (AP)-John F. Kennedy started forming his Cab- inet Thursday, by tapping Gov. Abraham Ribicoff, of Connecticut, an old friend and early Kcnnedy- for-president rooter, as his secre- tary of health, education and wel- fare. In this job, the 50-year-old Ribi- coff would play a key role in some of the programs Kennedy has la- beled for priority consideration by the new Congress--aid to educa- tion, medical care for the aged and the like.

Standing al Kennedy's side as the announcement was made, Ribicoff declared his philosophy in this general field "is on all fours with the philosophy of President- elect Kennedy." Several hours earlier, Kennedy made known that he had selected another preconvention sup'porter-- outgoing Gov. G. Mermen Williams of Michigan--to be assistant secre- tary of state in charge of African affairs. Second To Nona Normally, an assistant secre- tary isn't considered' overly im- portant. But Kennedy stressed he regards the African affairs post as "second to none in the new ad- ministration" because the dark continent has become a major cold war battleground.

Williams, 49, who ends an un- precedented sixth term as Michi- gan's governor on Jan. 1, said later he plans a brief tour qf Africa between New Year's Day and Kennedy's inauguration on Jan. 20. In the wake of these appoint- ments, there was a hint the in- coming president may announce Friday the man he has picked to head up the Budget Bureau. His first caller Friday was listed as Prof.

David Bell of Harvard, a 41-year-old specialist on public ad- ministration. The Boston Globe re- ported Wednesday that Bell ap- peared in line for the job ot budget director. All in all, there was much activity Thursday at Kennedy's headquarters, his home on a nor- mally sedate street in the historic eorgetcvvn soctic" of the capital. Lovctt Refuses Kennedy's one obvious disap- pointment of the day came when lie apparently failed to persuade 65-year-old Robert A. Lovett, a New York investment banker, to accept a place in the Kennedy ad- ministration.

After lunching with Lovett, the president-elect told newsmen "it is a great regret to me that he has retired" from further govern- ment service. Lovett, a Republican, was sec- retary of defense and undersec- retary of state in the Democratic administration of President Harry S. Truman. He had been men- tioned in speculation as a possible appointee either as secretary of defense or secretary of state un- der Kennedy. The darkly handsome Ribicoff, son of Russian immigrants, was the first Jew elected governor of Connecticut.

He now is 4 at the midpoint in his second four-year term, and said he will resign after the Senate confirms his Cabinet 'appointment. As governor, Ribicoff draws S15.000 a year. As secretary of health, education and welfare he would be paid 525,000 a year. The H-E-W department has 000 employes and each year dis- tributes billion dollars to the American people. Under its jurisdiction fall the Social Security Administration, the Office of Education, the Pub- lic Health Service and similar agencies.

Kennedy noted that in Connecti- cut, Ribicotf supervises a state budget which earmarks 74 per cent of its funds to health and welfare purposes.
