and Waverly, N. Y. THE EVENING TIMES, SATURDAY JANUARY 10, 1959 PAGE FIVE Athens, South Waverly, Castro Critical Of United States Havana, Cuba (AP) Castro said today he is sympathetic toward the people of the United States but he complained that the U.S. government armed dictators.

white applicants do not have similar difficulties and therefore violates the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment." The Little Rock court ordered the board there to "move forward within their official powers" to carry out a plan of integration. U. S. District Judge John E. Miller further ordered the board to report to the court within 30 days details of whatever affirmative steps they have taken to comply with this order.

Miller's order put into effect a mandate issued Dec. 2, 1958, by the 8th U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals at St. Louis.

Miller enjoined the board from leasing public school facilities to any private group for operation of segregated schools and "from engaging in any other acts, whether independently or in participation with anyone else which are capable of serving to impede, thwart or frustrate the execution of the integration plan mandated against them." Compromise (Continued trom Page 1) quires the votes of senators, or two-thirds of the entire membership. Douglas contended that the difference between Johnson's proposal and the present rule is SO minor that it could be detected "only with a powerful magnifying glass." The substitute offered by Doug. las for a bipartisan bloc of Northern and Western senators will come up for a vote Monday. Debate on it and other posed amendments will be limited to two hours each under an unanimous agreement reached late Friday before the Senate recessed for the weekend. An additional four hours of general debate will be permitted before final action.

Backers of Douglas' proposal for debate-limitation by majroity vote said privately they foresaw scant prospects for victory. But they were more hopeful about the chances for another amendment to permit filibusters to be halted by three-fifths of the senators present and voting. Valuable (Continued trom Page 1) cellaneous machinery and a large quantity of hay were lost in last night's fire. Mr. Gunther said that Oliver Goodrich set up his equipment for thawing the pipes about 8:30 o'clock, and after the lines were in place, they went outside and Goodrich turned on the generator operating an electric welding device.

When they went back into the barn found hay ignited. Towanda and Monroeton Fire Departments were called, and both laid hose to a nearby creek, but could draw no water because the stream was frozen solid to its bottom. Monroeton firemen were later able to get water through portable pump after digging a hole in the bed of the creek. Firemen protected the nearby Gunther home with booster lines. Part of the barn collapsed across Route 220, and Highway Department crews were moned to clear the road.

Mikoyan (Continued from Page 1) ed the home of bus driver Joseph Polowsky where he dangled the family's two small children on his knee. Mikoyan's arrival at Midway Airport Friday morning was met by a crowd of egg throwing pickets. When he left the hotel later. about 200 demonstrators hurled eggs, placards and jeers at the Soviet official and tried to break through police cordons. Police took four demonstrators into custody, two of them egg throwers.

The four were Hungarian refugees who had been in the United States for periods ranging from two months to two years. During his news conference, Mikoyan said he "attached no importance" to the demonstrations which he termed "more like comedies than demonstrations." He said the "handfuls' of pickets "do not represent the American Mikoyan peppered his speech to the lawyers with humor, but turned serious when he said the Soviets want to be dealt with as an equal. "We think we are just as good as you." he said. "We are just as good. So let us speak to each other as an equal speaks to an equal and we will be able to solve more issues." Asked by an attorney about the purge of Vyacheslav M.

Molotov, former Soviet foreign minister, Mikoyan said with tongue in cheek, "he's a very capable man and we all have faith in him. He may be in for a more important assignment farther east." Mikoyan apparently referred to Siberia. Molotov now is dor to Mongolia.

Messali Hadj will not be permitted to return to Algeria. -Commutation of death tences imposed on a large number of Algerian nationalists held in Algerian jails. At the same time many internees will be freed. De Gaulle's clemency gesture came amidst a stepped up rebel terrorist campaign in Algeria. De Gaulle also was under severe criticism from Algerian deputies in the new parliament and French Algerians in Algiers because of his clear intention not to go along with their campaign to get Algeria "integrated" with France.

All he promised that association" integration would be prohibitively expensive. A key figure in the new difficult situation which had arisen was Jacques Soustelle, mastermind of the Algerian uprising which brought De Gaulle to power in May. Soustelle appeared destined to wield immense power in his special post as "'minister delegate to the premier" he was known to support the Algerian campaign for "integration." (Continued from Page 1) following treatment at the Tioga General. Newton Zeller, 42, of Barton RD 1 suffered abrasions of nose, left shoulder area and the back of both legs when he was struck while directing traffic. He was discharged following treatment at the Tioga County General hospital.

According to Tioga County Sheriff Deputies Gene Hellmer and Charles Hammond, the car was being driven east on Route 17 by Kellogg. Kellogg stated that he saw a car approaching from the rear at a high rate of speed and slowed down because he thought it was a police car. He estimated his speed at between 50 and 55 miles per hour. He said that his car was struck in the rear which sent the hicle into a broadside skid down the highway. The car continued over an embankment on the southside of the road sheared off a utility pole, glanced off another, crossed the old road and continued for 10 feet up the embankment of the Erie Railroad.

The Wilber youth was thrown from the car. The four youths were believed to have attended the basketball game between Owego and Waverly last night at Waverly. Officials at the Sheriff's department this morning had no knowledge of the injuries to Mr. Zeller, who lives near the scene of the crash. The investigation into the accident are being continued.

The time of the accident was 2:20 this morning.

Barden of the House Education Committee said he was interested in the brief outline announced by the President and said "at this point I have no quarrel." Both Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon B.

Johnson and House Speaker Sam Rayburn have called for prompt passage of an anti-racketeering bill. The House apparently holds the key to its fate. It was the House that last year killed the Kennedy-Ives bill after a partisan wrangle over whether it went far enough to curb abuses. Most Republicans voted against the bill, after protesting that it was brought up under a procedure barring amendments. The Senate approved the "moderate" Kennedy- Ives bill by an 88 to 1.

vote, and was expected to give new measure similar strong support. Congress Demos (Continued from Page 1) enhower "left untouched the big. gest domestic problem of the nation, our four million unemployed."

Reunified Germany be free to join either NATO or the Communist Warsaw Pact. 3. If reunified Germany joined NATO, the West would promise to send no forces from the alliance into the part of the country which is now under Communist control. 4.

In Berlin, the ADN (Communist) News Agency reported that a copy of the Soviet note was handed to Red Vice Premier Walter Ubricht by Soviet Ambassador G. M. Pervukhin. ADN said Ulbricht praised the Soviet proposals in terms making it clear that they called for a treaty which would recognize a federation of East and West Germany rather than a reunified country. It appeared unlikely that these terms would be satisfactory to the West, which has insisted many times that Germany must be reunified.

A second Soviet note replying to the West's Dec. 31 rejection of Russia's stand en Berlin was distributed at the same time as the call for a peace conference. This note also was not immediately published. East Smithfield LUCY RICE, Correspondent Miss Jean McNulty of Olyphant and Jack Martin of Pittston were New Year's guests of Mr. and Mrs.

(AP) A halted during the latter part of Castro's guerrilla war against Batista's forces. On Wednesday Washington recognized the government of Provisional President Manuel Urratia, whom Castro installed in office.

Castro said two or three dozen persons have been executed since he won. "Those who have been executed in eastern Cuba had abused the people," he said. "They all got trials in military courts." Castro met newsmen after a leader of a separate rebel group asked checks on the power of Urrutia's government. Castro publicly criticized him as a troublemaker, ostensibly because his group seized some arms earlier this week. Faure Chaumont, a leader of the student-backed revolutionary directorate, wants, a legisla: tive group organized prevent one-man rule during the provisional period.

Provisional President Urrutia, whom Castro installed, dissolved Congress Tuesday on the ground it was packed with supporters of fallen dictator Fulgencio Batista. Chaumont also said Friday the directorate wanted free elections within a year instead of the 18 to 24 months that Urrutia and Castro have said would be needed to get Cuba back on an even keel. Chaumont had maintained earlier that the directorate was not getting a voice in the government equal to what he claimed was its part in overthrowing Batista. Two members of Urrutia's Cabinet are members of the directorate, which consists mainly of students plus some backers of former President Carlo Prio Socarras, a Castro supporter. In a television speech Friday night, Castro blasted Chaumont as the man "responsible for the problems we have now" in setting up the new government.

In spite of the squabbling, Castro's enormous popularity is expected certain to help him resolve the disputes and bring the nation together. Further government appointments might placate the directorate.

Mr. Patterson was the driver of the car from which his wife, the mother of five children, was thrown on the tracks in front of a Lehigh Valley train in December 1957.
