Hatcher said Kennedy had received no additional information on the Soriet test.

He told newsmen the United States had more data on the blast than was made public Friday, but refused to go into details. Maj. Gen. Chester V. Clifton, the President's military adviser, briefed Kennedy on developments around the globe in between the conversations with Washington.

For Kennedy, this wasn't exactly the kind of holiday weekend that thousands of other big city refugees spent on Cape Cod Even while cruising, Hatcher said the President would "stick a little closer to shore." Kennedy, with his wife and daughter Caroline, cruised about eight miles from Hyannis Port. They were joined by a party of friends and relatives. At Codman's Point on Cotuii Bay, they anchored just ofl shore. The sun broke through briefly, and joined by some of his guests, took a swim.

GOULART GIVEN FIGUREHEAD ROLE (Continued from Page One) said planned to fly to Brasilia Monday for the inaugural. But Porto Alegre's pro-Goulart radio station "Legality" said the vice president will demand a national referendum on the constitutional amendment, before accepting a figurehead presidency. Leonel Brizola, Goulart's brother-in-law and governor of Rio 3rande Do Sul state of which Porto Alegre is the capital declared his people will not accept a presidency short of power for Goulart. i Normal communications with Porto Alegre. broken off during the day, were restored in the evening.

Kubitschek Dissents Among the dissenters was for mer President Juscelino Kubit schek, an influential seantor since lis retirement from the presiden cy and a staunch supporter of joularf. Kubitschek is one of severa' considered as likely candidates for the new post of prime minis ter, and whether he might be induced to take it may have i bearing on Goulart's ultimate decision to become a figurehead president. The amendment was approved earlier in the day by a 235-55 vote. Kubitschek told the Senate in a speech read from the dais for him that he would not vote for the so-called parliamentary system that would give Brazil prime minister as executive with a president serving only as a ceremonial chjef of state. "I cannot stop myself from stating my position as senator of this republic as well as my own state of mind at the moment in which I vote against installing a parliamentary regime in our country," the ex-president said.

"People Haven't Been Heard" Kubitschek added, "The people have not been heard. People do not know what has been decided in the rush of these vot- ngs made in only 24 hours.

At 60 you are no longer young. Rest and write your memoirs. Some editor will publish them.

Let Brazil live in peace." Brazil's lower house voted on the amendment after a deputy returned last night from a flying trip to Montevideo, Uruguay, for talks with Goulart. The vice president later flew to Porto Alegre. The deputy said Goulart agreed to parliamentary system but with some changes.

Duncan and his twin brother, Jack, both worked as busboys for the Red Barn restaurant, 290 Wilton road. The restaurant is a five minute walk from the swimming hole. Jack Duncan told police he and his brother arrived at the restaurant at 12:30 p.m.

He said his brother decided to take a swim before reporting for work at 3 p.m. The victim's twin said he went to the river when his brother failed to appear for work but found only clothes hanging on a Police were notified and found the body after an hour's search.

Spurred by Murphy Mr. Tramont said that Commis- ioner of Public Works Timothy Murphy asked that someone assigned to examine the two 'rejects here. The report will be given to Alert Demers, head of the state Ousing division. Mr. Demers said last week that lis is the first such survey in Sridgeport, although other cities ave been examined.

He said that ie survey was planned for ear- er this summer, but that a short- ge of staff workers held up the xamination. Mr. Tramont said that the den- ity problem was peculiar to Bridgeport and Stamford. Both ities are high-rise apartments large populations on a limed land acreage. On J-Week Inspection Mr.

The Burmese premier, like Nehru, warned against, reviving racial and colonial problems a a time when the east-west crisi! over Berlin threatens to explode into war. The arrival of the Congo's leftwing deputy-premier; Antoine Gizenga, and his chief, -Premier Cyrille Adoula, to'participate in the conference sessions may adc another explpsive element to the meeting.

They are expected today. Gizenga has generally supported policies, rather than a course of nonalignment in the Congo as well as in international relationships. Nehru is scheduled to fly to Moscow Wednesday for a meet- ng with Khrushchev. Moderates the conference said they hoped Nehru could speak as effec- ively to the Soviet chieftain as ie did to the nonaligned con- 'erence. Nehru will visit Wash- ngton later.

WORKSHOP URGED I ON'DROP-OUTS' (Carttmd OM) work group said the problem ii two-fold--preventing youngsters from leaving school, and helping those who alreadyJiave left. But, the group said, atlention at this time should be focused on preventing drop-outs. They said tackling both phases of (he problem at once would "dissipate the strength of this committee." The group suggested for discussion by a community conference such questions as these: How are the Bridgeport schools set up to deal with academic, emotional, social and economic problems that lead to school dropouts? How are the social agencies now cooperating with the public in preventing drop-outs? How is the city administration assisting, and how can cky, state and olher governmental units do more to help? Is the school the logical focal wint for "identifying students with problems that may to dropping out of school?" How can a program be developed that coordinates the efforts "of all facets of the community? It was reported that the study group was told by Wesley Day manager of the Bridgeport office of the State Employment service, that practically all the unemployed under 18 years of age are non-high school graduates who lack readily marketable skills. Mr. Day was quoted as saying "the lack of a high school diploma is a definite handicap in the labor market." The study committee also reported that Assistant Supt.

of Schools Frank Piazza said dropouts during the second and third years of high school account for more than 60 per cent of the total. Mr. Piazza, it was indicated, said one third of the pupils dropping out of school said they preferred work to school. He said drop-outs with no subject failures in school account for more than 18 per cent of the total drop- ouis.

He asserted that the firm is 'prepared to go to the Supreme court if necessaiy" in the cur- legal controversy over the high school site bids.

A temporary injunction hear- ng is scheduled for next Thursday at 10 a.m. in Superior court Litchfield in the Barrett firm's move to bar the Board of Education from signing a site work with the D'Addario Con- truction company, and to pro- libit D'Addario from starting the work. In its court writ, the Barrett ompany contends among other hings that its bid was not in- omplete and that it offered to omplete the work by a Dec. I leadline set in the specifications. the D'Addario hid fixed ompletion by next April I.

Mr. Barrett said, "Our firm, vhich bids over $10 million of work a year throughout the entire tate of Connecticut, has no dif- culties whatsoever in any other ity, but in Bridgeport it would ppear that specifications for pub- projects do not always mean iat they say." In regard to the airport site ids opened by the Airport commission May 19.
