Revisions In Charter Held Bad Calls For Appointing Of Doafd To Sift Little Rock Issue U. S.

Sen. George Smathers today urged President Eisenhower to activate the civil rights commission im mediately bo it can "quickly get at the heart of the Little Rock, problem and come up with "a peaceful, sensible solution. The last Congress provided for setting up of the commission to study civil rights problems and to make recommendations to the President and Congress. Eisen hower has not yet named mem bers; "It is obvious that new ideas, new thoughts and new approach es are needed to solve the crisis at Little Bock," Smathers declared just before flying back to Washington. "The commission, it appears to me, is the best group to pro vide the new ideas," said Smath ers.

"It is the only outside non governmental agency which has been authorized by law to study this problem. Wants No Extremists Smathers said it was his hope that "the President vill appoint men of experience and wisdom who are not extremists on either side of this delicate problem men of good will who completely appreciate the importance of set tling this problem which, at the moment, is dividing our nation at a time we cannot afford to be divided." The senator said there should be representation of the Southern viewpoint on the commission and that it should include members of the clergy and the bar as well as laymen. Congress, created a special rights division in the Justice De partment, headed by an assist ant attorney general, and a partisan six-member commission to delve into the problem. Kmfither said that an on-the- spot investigation of the Little Rock crisis by the commission would mean that it "could learn at first hand the depths of the passions which exist and the pos sibilities of a peacerui, sensiDie solution." Troops Block Solution Last month. 22 organizations.

including those representing labor, Jewish, veterans, Negro, and fraternal groups asked Eisenhower to appoint the assistant attorney general and' commis sioners. Speaking at Miami Beach last nieht. Smathers declared the segregation-integration problem would never be solved at Little Rock as long as federal troops remained. Soviet Communist party boss Nikita Khrushchev touched off the situation with comments regarded by the U.S. government as direct ly threatening Turkey.

His state ment, made in a New York Times interview, was published yester day. The United States struck back last night with a State Department declaration that this country in tends to stand by its obligations to under the North Atlan tic Treaty and is also "determined to carry out" its expressed policy of defending the Middle East against international communism. Clearly warning that a clash in the Middle East might spread to engulf much of the world, the U.S. statement asserted: "Mr. Khrushchev is himself re ported to have observed that it is dangerous in these times to as sume that hostilities, once begun, will remain confined to a particu lar locality.

That truth should be prayerfully and constantly contemplated by every responsible official of every country." The American statement is un derstood to have been cleared with President Eisenhower and to have been checked with some, at least, of the other members of the 15-nation North Atlantic Alliance. Exactly how serious the situa tion is was not entirely clear here. Much appeared to depend on the outcome of events in the Middle East itself, particularly developments along the tense border between Turkey and Syria. If some kind of border Incident involving Turkey and Syria should get out of hand, the situation cculd rapidly become worse. Much also obviously depends on Russia's real intentions with respect to the Turkish-Syrian tension.

One major consideration, perhaps the dominant one, in the top-level decision to issue last night's Washington declaration was that United States intentions should be made clear to the Soviet government in order to minimize the danger of a miscalcu lation there. In the interview. Khrushchev accused Secretary of State Dulles of trying to push Turkey to attack Syria, which came under tne con- Continued on Page 7A, Col. i A JOHN KIRBY Lad Eyet Engine MOTOR USED FOR SATELLITE Washington, Oct. 11 Young John Kirby, takes a close look at a model of the General Electric X-405 rocket engine.

U.S. Gets 2d Glimpse Of Sputnik Atiwlatrd Prm Washington, Oct. 11 American sky watchers reported Sighting the Russian earth satellite again today as it made three early morning passes over the United States.

The man-made moon, apparently undeterred by a shower of meteorite fragments, neared the end of its first week aloft still circling the earth once every 96.1 minutes. The Naval Research Laboratory here said Sputnik made three hich-speed passes over the United States this morning, and will return three times tonight. The New Haven, moon-watch team, which first spotted the satellite" yesterday, reported that it saw two objects streaking through the sky this morningpresumably Sputnik and a part of the rocket that propelled the moonlet into its orbit. Others Get Peek Watchers at the astrophysical observatory of the Smithsonian Institution in Cambridge, also apparently caught a momentary glimpse of the satellite. Two students at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, N.

also said they sighted it shortly before dawn. Sputnik has traveled more than 2,500,000 miles, according to Soviet estimates, since the Russians shot it into the upper air last Friday night. Dr. Fred L. Whipple, director of the Cambridge observatory, said there had been no observation to indicate a third object is speeding around the globe.

The Russians have said the satellite's protective nose cone also is orbiting, as well as the spent rocket. Rocket Trips Planned Meanwhile, in Moscow, a Russian expert said today Soviet scientists and others abroad are at work on plans for rocket ship flights to the moon. He predicted moon flights will begin within this century. Dr. V.

HESSER Miami wi Political Writer The proposal to amend the Metro charter so as to guarantee autonomy of cities would wreck Dade's metropolitan government, the Dade County Research Foundation said today in a special report. "The new government would be stripped of the powers which really distinguish it as the first metropolitan government in the United States and we would no longer have a metropolitan government," the foundation charged.

Both the County Commission and the Dade County League of Municipalities, which are on op posite sides in the charter fight, came in for stinging criticism by the foundation. It was noted that voters who took a middle- of- the- road position on Metro those who be lieve that the county can have both metropolitan and municipal governments supported tfie charter in the May election. But, the foundation, a non-par tisan, non political citizens' agency, asserted "this middle position has not gained ascendancy either in the League of Municipalities or in the board of county commissioners. Said the foundation: "The two crouDS. and especial ly their legal counsels, display strong extremist tendencies, and at opposite ends of the pole.

Under these circumstances the two bodies have been unwilling, and even disinclined to reach com mon ground." The league's amendment, the foundation said, "would substantially reinstate the status of power which prevailed prior to the ratification of the charter.

Dr. Adams talk at the morning session was in line with the theme of the convention, "All the Way for Christ." In the afternoon, Howard E.

Tonight, the 12,000 delegates will hear Evangelist Billy Gra ham ask them to rededicate their lives to Christ when he speaks on "All the Way for Christ through Citizenship."

S. Census Bureau reported today. Special locally-financed counts taken in recent years disclose that Miami Beach, Fort Lauder dale, West Palm Beach, and Pen- sacola have attained "big city" status, the bureau announced. Miami Beach's latest total was placed at 50,981, as against in 1950.

Fort Lauderdale soared to 62,906 from its 36,328 figure in 1950, while West Palm Beach rose to 51,015 from 162 and Pensacola tallied 50,954 against 43,479. County wise, Dade recorded 703,777 against 495,084 in 1950. Chief increases here were shown by Coral Gables, 29,210, up from There is at least one child in Miami who doesn't eat any candy. He is the 4-year-old son of two dentists. "We have him well trained," sajd Dr.

"Recently, 1 put 30 fillings in the mouth of a 3-year-Qld girl.

We even had a run of children at the age of 2 years and four months. "One little boy that old had to lave 17 fillings and an extraction." Youngsters from the age of 3 to 8 were parading through Dr. Crockett's office as she worked and talked. All of them were surprisingly cool. "A lot of them never say a word," said the dentist.

"They just wilk in, sit down and open their mouths. "Of course, some of them talk your ears off. But they seldom are afraid." Kids Watch TV One of the children, Robin Marburgh, 6, seated herself primly and said, "Please put my teeth to sleep." Dr. Crockett had a television set where it could be watched by her small patients, but most of them seemed more interested in the dental equipment. Some of them helped by operating the pump which squirts cooling water through the drill.
