Fast Losing The President made it abundantly clear in a speech at the University of Washington herel late Thursday that he is fast losing patience with unthinking Americans "who cannot bear the burden of a long twilight struggle" and "lack of confidence in our long-run capacity to survive and succeed." It was the 100th anniversary of the university and Kennedy spoke before a special academic convocation audience of an estimated 11,000 persons. Earlier he was given a cheering, paper-strewn welcome on the streets oC Seattle as he paraded in an open car shortly after his jet flight from Washington. Two Extremist Groups In his speech, the President hammered at a central the folly of expecting "some quick and easy and cheap solution" to current differences with the Communist nations. He divided "frustrated" extremists into two groups: who urge upon us what I regard to be the pathway to our enemies, compromising our honor purchasing peace at any price, disavowing our arms, our friends, our obligations. If their view had prevailed, the world of free choice would be smaller today.

who urged upon us what I regard to be the pathway to war: Equating negotiations with appeasement and substitut ing rigidity for firmness. If their view had prevailed, the world of free choice would be smaller today." U.N. troops try to block escape of Congo mutineers LEOPOLDVILLE, The Congo (UPI) United Nations troops today sealed airfields around Kin- du to cut off any possible escape by mutinous Congolese soldiers who massacred 13 Italian airmen on a mercy mission. Only United Nations planes, flying Malayan reinforcements into the area, were allowed use of the fields, a U.N. spokesman said.

Here in Leopoldville, the United Nations named Lt. Col. Bengt Lindeblad of Sweden, Lt. Col. Nil Borchgrevink of Norway and Alec Duncan-Smith of Britain to begin an investigation into the slaughter.

The Congolese Central Government also will assign men to the joint investigation. The United Nations rushed fresh Malayan troops to reinforce the Malayan garrison at Kin du under orders from Secretary General Thant in New York.

Akers, 48, following an argument outside ttie Elks' Club early today. Akers was pronounced dead at County Hospital where he had been taken, by Miss EUebe and two other persons.

Police said Miss EUebe, also of San Bernardino, at first denied the slaying but broke down when a police matron searched her and found a four-inch knife. She said she had "only tried to cut" Akers after he had tried to throw a beer bottle at her. what Antoine Gizenga, the left- wing strongman of Oriental Province, may have had to do with the slayings. Gizenga's name has been mentioned repeatedly in connection with the incident but there has been no official confirmation that he played any part in it. Maj.

Gen. Sean McKeown of Ireland, commander of U.N. forces in the Congo, said in New York that Gizenga was not in the area when the massacre occurred. Mc- Reown went lo New York to plead for more troops and equipment. But one source today said Gi zenga, who is a vice premier in the central government, was in Kindu last Tuesday and saw Con- Solese Gen.

Victor Lundula and Interior Minister Christopher Gbenye there. Lundula had gone to Kindu to try to effect the release of the Italians. At that time it was not may look into is justlknown they were dead. He was chased out by the mutinous Congolese soldiers. Kindu is in Kivu Province, adjacent to Oriental.

There are an estimated 200 Europeans in the city, but there were no indications they had been harmed. UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (UPI) Maj. Gen. Sean McKeown, commander of United Nations forces in the Congo, today sought additional troops and equipment to crush mutinous Congolese sol- idiers who massacred 13 Italian airmen.

McKeown arrived here with Conor Cruise O'Brien. U.N. special representative in Katanga Province, to report to Acting Secretary General Thant. The official report on the massacre shocked many diplomats here. iMcKeown said it was not known what role leftist leader Gizenga.

political heir of slain Premier Patrice Lumumba, had in inciting the mutineers who murdered the Italians Saturday. He said Gizenga had left Stan- leyviUe for an undisclosed destination at the time the mutiny broke out, but that the Congolese vice premier was not in the vi- cmity 'hen the massacre occurred. The U.N. commander said strong steps" must be taken if a political settlement is to be reached. O'Brien said there still is hopt for a political settlement between the Congolese central government and the secessionist Katanga regime of Moise Tshombe.

He said one of the main problems is the continued activity of "mercenaries of many nationalities" in Katanga. "We must hope and work lor a political settlement becaus. otherwise the prospects are for continued fighting for a long time," O'Brien said. Minuteman rocket fired from underground tube CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. Air Force today fired a Minuteman rocket from an un derground launching tube to a target half an ocean away today to end a nine-month famine for the success-starved "instant ICBM.

The stubby white missile bolted from the concrete-lined silo in a spray of flame and smoke, and streaked into the blue sky a few seconds past 7:15 a.m. PST. The Minuteman, tabbed as America's first pushbutton nuclear-tipped missile system, shot its instrumented nose cone into space at a speed of about 17,000 miles per hour. Less than a half-hour later, the blunt nose dived back through earth's atmosphere and slammed into a target area a little less than 3,000 miles away in the Atlantic Ocean, it was reported. The three-stage "instant ICBM' is scheduled to become war-ready in 1962.

But before today, its only success was a flight in its maiden shot last Feb. 1. That was foUdwed by three trouble- plagued tests. One went wild in the sky and was deliberately blown up. Another fell several hundred miles short of its goal when its engines cut off too soon.

The last one, attempted Aug. 30. blew up in its launchuig silo and splattered flaming wreckage over the cape. Today's shot was the second for Minuteman from the silo, a prototype of "hardened" sites de-' signed to protect combat models from onslaughts of enemy nuclear missiles which would hit the United States in a nuclear atack. A total of 12 squadrons with 50 Minuteman rockets each are planned as a keystone to the na tion's nuclear defense.

The first squadron is scheduled to go on duty at Malmstrom Air Force Base near Great Falls, Mont. McHamara orders safety clearance on charter planes used by MATS WASHINGTON (UPI) -Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara ordered today that all supplemental airlines must obtain clearance from the Military Air Transport Service before they may be used to fly troops around the country.

The requirement that the Military Air Ti-ansport Service must approve nonscheduled airlines to be used for troop movements previously applied only to overseas flights. At a wide-ranging news confer- question of a'NATO nuclear force would be discussed with West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer when he visits Washuigton next week. He said deliveries of military equipment to South Viet Nam have been accelerated recently because of the "ruthless campaign" North Vietnamese guerriUas are waging there. McNamara said the air transportation order was effective im mediately.

He said it was an attempt "to assure further that the department is providing air transportation for its personnel which affords maximum safety and reliability of service. He ordered that military per sonnel would use only certificated ence. JIcNamara also said scheduled air carriers when eling "on an individually ticketed basis." Spurred by the Richmond crash. Chairman Carl Vinson of the House Armed Services Committee Thursday ordered an inquiry into the entire question of transporting military personnel in commercial aircraft. He said the study would be made by a special subcommittee headed by Rep.

Porter Hardy, DVa. McNamara said the C.S. military buildup in the Berlin crisis was going "at least as rapidly as planned" and in -some casci was ahead of schedule. He said he had no present plan to call up any additional large numbers of reservists. About 155,000 now are on active duty.

On the UCLA team these mclude tailback Bobby Smith, wingback Hermit Alexander and fuUbackl Almose Thompson. Two of the top Southern California backs, WUIie Brown and Ben Wilson, as weU as several other squad members, are Negroes. The association's executive board this week adopted a resolution to abstain from all participation in the game if Alabama is a participant. "The Association is unwilling to give moral and financial support to segregation as practiced by the University of Alabama, a totally-segregated university," the resolution read. The resolution continued that the rich financial return to Alabama, if it is a participant, would he used to further segregation at the southern university.
