There were indications that
something went wrong in the
landing process.
An announcement by Tass,
the Soviet news agency, that
the pilot had steered the
spaceship to a landing ended
hours of mystery and official
silence on the Voskhod’s fate.
Tass said both cosmonauts
were well.
The time the Voskhod was
aloft indicated it has com-
pleted 17 orbits and was on
its 18th when it landed.
The spaceship landed at
12 02 p.m — 3:02 a.m. CST-
near Jerm, west of the Ural
Mountains and 729 miles
northeast of Moscow. This is
far north of the usual landing
spot lor Soviet spaceships.

for an even tougher measure.
In a House speech and a-
gain in hearings before a
House Judiciary subcommit
tee, GOP members called for
a bill with broader protection
on Negro voting rights than
the John:n administration
has proposed.
But even as he agreed that
the bill he helped draft fails
to cover all possible eases of
Negro vote denial, Atty. Gen.
Nicholas Katzenbach defend
ed it as the best he could de-
vise to meet “the central
problem we are trying to
deal with."
in two long sessions before
the House committee, one in
the morning and one at night,
Katzenbach defined that prob-
lem as a search for “a sys-
tematic, automatic method to
deal with discriminatory
tests, discriminatory testers
and discriminatory threats.”
Under the terms of the bill,
six states—although not nam-
ed specifically—would be the
chief targets for federal ac-
tion to open the polls to Neg-
roes—Miysissippi, Alabama.
Louisiana, Georgia, South
Carolina and Virginia.
As matters now stand, on-

Thursday as Dean of Men Ar-
leigh Williams tried to en-
force a ban on the sale of the
publications.
Williams said he would ask
the political action committee
composed of faculty mem-
bers for a campus injunction
against the sale pending a
hearing.
The magazine contained a
series of statements by lour
persons arrested in the
"filthy speech movement”
earlier this month. The other
publication was a play writ-
ten by political science stu-
dent Richard Schmoreleitz.
Acting Chancellor Martin
Meyerson termed the publica-
tions “inappropriate for a
university community” and
gave the salesmen until 4
p m. to leave the campus.
But the publications were
sold out before that time.
The so-called filthy speech
campaign started abqut two
weeks ago when a nonstudent
appeared on campus carrying
a sign containing the four-
letter word. He was arrested
by campus police. Eight oth-
ers, three of them students,
also were arrested for carry-
ing signs and using the word
in front of a crowd.
The situation snowballed
and last week Meyerson and
Clark Kerr, president of the
nine-campus university, re-
signed during the contro-
versy. They withdrew their
resignations, however, at a

declared, at a time when the
state is growing at the rate of
8,000 persons a day, and need-

year.
Solomon, a former voca-
tional agriculture teacher,
urged teachers to get into
politics.” Line up support and

ator, lieutenant governor and

Solomon was introduced by
Mrs. A. M Banks. Presiding
was Mrs. Nell Taylor, presi-
dent of the unit.
New officers of the TSTA
here were named for the next
school year. They are Supt
Hugh Byrd, president; Mrs.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. ( -
In a dramatic appearance be-
fore the Alabama Legislature,
Gov. George C. Wallace
asked for federal civil au-
thorities to police a 50-mile
voter registration pilgrimage
from Selma to Montgomery.
In his address to the Legis-
lature, the governor had said
also that Alabama could ill
afford the financial burden it
would mean.
Wallace said it would take
mere than 6,000 officers work-
ing eight-hour shifts to pa-
trol the five-day march. He
said that only about 300 state
troopers and 150 other of-
ficers could be spared for the
task.
The President announced a
short lime later that he would
mobilize the National Guard
if the governor ‘is unable or
unwilling to call up the
Guard.”
Wallace asked for comment,
told a newsman, “I have
nothing to say at this time.”

governor had concluded his

“Everything is under con-
trol, and it appears as if
those who stayed away did so
because of confusion and
fear," John Lee, Collinwood,
principals, said as classes got
under way today.
Supt. Paul Briggs praised
dhe youngsters, who attended,
telling them: “This has al-
ways been a fine school."
