Rhodesia Placed on War Footing SALISBURY, Southern Rhodesia (UPD) Federal Prime Minister Sir Roy Welensky put this country on a war footing Friday and warned he will use "every means" to prevent Britain from extending voting rights to neighboring Northern Rhodesia's vast Negro population. 5,000 Recalled He cancelled leaves for 5,000 European and African policemen in Southern Rhodesia and put 000 police reservists on alert as the federation's racial crisis deepended. These new orders came only 48 hours after 3,000 militia reserves were called to active duty.

Welensky also summoned the federal assembly into emergency session and said he will ask its support to fight the British proevery means." Northern Rhodesia and Nyasaland. both British protectorates, comprise a federation with Southern Rhodesia, which is a self. governing territory. Welensky is chief executive official of the fed. eration.

British proposals to grant Negroes in Northern Rhodesia wider voting rights and a bigger role in the protectorate's government under a new constitution have stirred deep fears among British and European whites. Outnumber Whites Northern Rhodesian blacks outnumber whites by 2,200,000 to about. 70,000. White leadership alSO is opposed to the move because Northern Rhodesia's copper belt provides most of the wealth for the tri-power federation. The crisis has been complicated further by the dissatisfaction ot black nationalists over Britain's proposals, but for a different reason.

They feel Britain has not gone far enough in meeting their demands. Weather, Tides GOVERNMENT FORECAST Local: Cloudy with rain developing during the day, continuing tonight. Mild temperatures. High in the 50s. Low tonight 35 to 40.

William Henry was told he would be released any time he writes a letter promising to refrain from such incidents in the future by U.S.

District Court Judge Robert P. Anderson. Henry's action was labled as behavior" by the jurist. The pacifist had pleaded to boarding the submarine Ethan Allen at Groton Nov. 22.

Part of Protest He boarded the A-sub with Donald Martin, 20, of Wellesley, as part of the protest by the Committee for Non Violent Action (CNVA), a group opposed to Polaris missiles. The Ethan Allen is being equipped to fire such missiles. In sentencing Henry, Anderson said: "The production of armaments in this country is not the cause of fear and distress but the result of it. You can not remove the cause by attacking the result." Henry, in a recent interview, said his boarding of the submarine was "a symbolic, harmless, non-violent action." He, and fellow pacifists, he said, "have injured the military concept the way a light injures darkness, the way generosity injures greed, and the way love injures hate Henry has another charge pending against him, one for boarding the nuclear submarine George Washington on another occasion.

Father Munich claimed fluoridation was interference with human rights, a charge picked up by several other speakers. One East Hartfordite, David C. Allen of 42 Higbie claimed fluoridation, was a "foot in the door" toward more and more socialistic programs forced on people. But the foot has already been in the door in Connecticut for 15 years, Dr. Foote pointed out.

Fluoridation was first started in 1945 in the state training schools for mentally retarded children. Since then, 17 communities, including New Britain and Hartford, have added fluorides to their water supply. HAROLD V. HINES HAMMOND, Ind. 19 Harold V.

i is the developer and patent holder of the coding system to be used ir. the Hartford pay TV operation. The patents have been licensed to Television Entertainment Inc. (TECO) which has granted the franchise for Hartford to RKO. The FCC admonishes Zeni ith and Teco to abide strictly by commitments they made at the hearing on the Hartford application.

Seeks 2,000 Subscribers Phonevision wants 2,000 subscribers by the time it starts the paid telecasts, and hopes to increase this number to 10,000. About 40 hours a week of paid programs are planned, but much of this would be the telecasting of feature motion pictures more than once, sometimes twice on the same night, so there would be about 17 hours a week of unduplicated paid programs. The charge for each program would. vary from a low of cents to a high of $3.50. In addition to paying for the programs he wishes to see, the subscriber would have to pay an installation charge, estimated at from $750 to $10, for the special attachments for his television set, and a rental charge for this equipment of not more than 75 cents a week.

The Zenith system to be used 111 Hartford consists of an that scrambles both the picture and sound as it leaves the transmitter at the station, and a "decoder" attached to the recriving set that restores pictures and sound to original form. The FCC decision gave this description of the operation on the receiving end: "To view a subscription program, the subscriber first tunes the channel selector of his receiver to the desired station. A door on the decoder is opened to permit positioning of a code-setting knob to an index number (program identification number). A switch on the decoder then aultomatically, shifts from TV (regular broadcast) to a position marked PV-A (phonevision without black and white inversion). At this point, if the correct number has been dialed and the operation is properly correlated.

an unscrambled picture should appear on the receiver screen. "During a particular subscription program, the subscriber may switch from either of the PV positions to TV, view conventional programming, and switch back to the subscription program without charge." Boy Killed in Fall 59. Did Not Climb Fence 1, NEWINGTON (Special) ington police Friday said Michael Michaud. 15, of 455 Hobson and his companions did not climb any fences to reach the top of Balf's Quarry last Saturday. The Michaud boy died when he slipped and plunged 120 feet to the rocks below.

A Courant story, incorrectly stated the boys "had to climb at least one fence" and that the "area was posted." By ROBERT WATERS Staff Reporter NEW HAVEN Two of the four defendants charged with conspiracy in a huge international narcotics ring were accused Friday in Federal Court, of ing the man who admits he supplied them with heroin. Clarence F. Aspelund, 46. the merchant seaman from Derby, who has become a star witness. claimed thousands of dollars owed to him for heroin he smuggled from France was never paid.

Links 3 Defendants Aspelund's testimony linked three of the defendants in the big case: Mrs. Milly Schau, Charles Hedges, 31, and Joseph P. Cahill, 45. All live in York City. He named Mrs.

Schau and Hedges as the two defendants he claims failed to pay for big shipments of heroin he brought into the U.S. aboard merchant ships. Aspelund claimed Mrs. Schau took a delivery of 12 kilograms (more than 26 pounds) of heroin. agreed to return with $36,000 in payment but instead disappeared.

"She was supposed to come back." he told the jury in his thick Danish accent. "but she didn't do it and I haven't seen her since." "Do you see her in the courtroom now asked U. S. Atty. Harry W.

Hultgren Jr. "Yes," replied Aspelund pointing to Mrs. Schau sitting at the counsel table with her Aspelund said that following, Mrs. Schau's disappearance in 1955, he returned to France. aboard a merchant ship which he worked on as a baker and contacted his supplier in Marseille.

'The Old Man' The supplier was known to him only as "the old man," Aspellund said. "I had no money to pay him," (for the delivery to Mrs. Schau) Aspelund said so he saw "the old man" to explain what happened. About three months later, he was contacted again by "the old man" and arrangements were made to deliver "big shipments to a syndicate." Aspelund testified. His new contact man was Cahill, he said, and later Cahill accompanied by Hedges when several deliveries were made.

The soft spoked sailor identified Hedges as the other defendant who failed to pay him money owed for heroin deliveries. He charged Hedges took delivery of a large shipment, paid for part of it but was short $10,000 and said he would pay it later. But instead of paying the $10,000, he charged, Hedges called him a few days later and demanded a refund of $5,000 claiming the quality of the heroin was poor. "I didn't get my money and they still owe it t. me.

said Aspelund. The Derby sailor said that he was known in the ring under the alias of "Alex." When he arrived in port with heroin, he said, he was instructed to call a New York telephone number and say simply: is in town call Joe" (Cahill). "'How did you get. the heroin off the asked Hultgren. "It was concealed inside a hassock I took home," he answered.

The cross examination of Aspe. lund is scheduled to start Monday when the trial resumes at 10:30 a.m. Cahill, who disappeared last weekend after the trial started, is still missing, authorities said.
