He takes his final examination today, and plans to depart for pace in years, continues to drag its feet and may be here until the end of the year.

The center of this quiet stage is occupied now, and will be for a couple of weeks, by Senate hearings on the limited nuclear test-ban treaty. That treaty, once approved, could be a fiendish embarrassment to the Kennedy administration if the Russians then try tricks to American disadvantage. Assot If nothing goes wrong, it will be an asset to President Kennedy in seeking re-election. If it goes wrong it will be an issue in the 1964 campaign. The administration, conscious of i both possibilities, acknowledges risk but insists the treaty's ad- I vantages outweigh the disadvan- I tages.

The graduation ceremonies Sunday will be held in a quiet grove ot trees which was used as a staging area last Sept. 30 by the rioting crowds who attacked marshals ringed around the campus administration building. Two persons died and scores were injured during the bloody night. More than 23,000 federal troops poured into the Oxford area to restore order in the boldest use of force the federal government had made against a state since the Civil War. "It appears doubtful that anything has been accomplished," Meredith told an interviewer.

He referred to the constant presence of federal marshals wherever he went on campus. The protecting marshals will even follow him to Jackson and return Sunday to witness his graduation. Meredith, a slightly-built Air Force veteran who wears a thin mustache, said the need for the marshals "is really an acknowledgement of white supremacy." Gov.

The treaty has wide popular support, it seems sure to pass the Senate by a wide margin, and neither Rockefeller nor Goldwater has come out against it.

most, of the things he warned about already had been discussed in one way or another 'by the. administration. Research For instance, he said this country should "pursue research and development in the vital area of antimissile defense." He said that Sunday, Aug. 11. But on Aug.

1 at his news conference Kennedy said developing an antimissile missile is "beyond us and beyond the Soviets." He was supported in this Tuesday by Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara, testifying before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. He said developing an antimissile system is something neither the United States nor Russia has solved. But he didn't say it was impossible. And Tuesday Goldwater, who hasn't yet gone as far as Rockefeller in saying the treaty should be supported, added his warning, He hammered on the antimissile business, too, saying he wants "iron-clad assurance" development in this field won't be inhibited by the treaty.

Goldwater is an Air Force Reserve major general. McNamara told the committee: "I know of no one of my senior scientific advisers and no one on the Joint Chiefs of Staff who recommend against the treaty with safeguards."
