12] Goan Nationalist Drive Against Portuguese Is Quieted With Help From Indian Police By EUGENE LEVIN NEW DELHI, India # — The Goan nationalist drive to oust the Portuguese from India appears temporarily stymied today. Indian and Portuguese police combined to keep Sunday’s much-héarlded “liberation” invasion down to a mere trickle. There were no re- ports of any injured. * But one Goan nationalist leader | vowed his group would march) again—without warning. | Reports reaching New Delhi on! Sunday’s demonstration for the | merger with India of Goa and} Portugal’s other 400-year-old hold- | ings on the subcontinent gave.this picture: Indian police, apparently acting on government orders, banned In- dian nationalists from taking part in the demonstration timed to co- incide with this country’s independ- ence day celebration. As a result, only small groups— mostly teen-agers—out of Goa’s total population of 600,000 actually demonstrated. At the main Portuguese settle- ment of Goa, south of Bombay, only about 50 demonstrators cross- ed the border at three points. The Portuguese police arrested all of them. At the Portuguese’ settlement of Damao, north of Bombay, Indian police detained 1,200 Indians who tried to march into the enclave. The demonstrators — members of the Praja Socialist party—were herded into trucks after they re- fused to disband and carted off to Vapi, where they were turned loose several hours later. Indian police at collection points for the Goan demonstrators also searched them to insure that they carried nd weapons. In a vious attdek on a Portuguese settlement, the invaders killed four Goan po- licemen. Associated Press Correspondent Hareld Milks reported from the littlé Goan frontier town of Polem that Indian and foreign newsmen milling about the border outnum- bered the 19 marchers at that Some of those who crossed the northern border briefly occupied the small fortress of Terekhol, but reports reaching here said Portu- guese police rounded them up quickly. Ishwarlal Desai, Socialist leader of the 1,200 would-be marchers on Damao, fired off a telegram to Prime Minister Nehru asking him to rescind his order forbidding non- Goans to take part in the demon- stration. He received no reply and officials in New Delhi refused to comment. Nehru gave the go-ahead Friday to the liberation march but he stipulated that the marchers must be Goans and must adhere to=the Gandhian principle of nonviolenge. Nehru told 100,000 cheeringy is- teners at an indep)rpnb$e celebration here in New Delhi the freedom India won from Brit- ain seven years ago would not be complete until foreign enclaves have been eliminated from Maia. India is negotiating with France for the latter’s withdrawal from her two areas on the east Indian coast, Pondichery and Karikai. But Portugal refuses to discuss Indian claims for cession of Goa, Damo and the island of Diu. Temperatures in the center of the sun are believed by scientists to reaeh 20 million degrees, centi- grade.

Stephen A. Mitchell, in a debate yesterday with Republican Nation- serted the President issued a per- sonal order on awarding the con- tract to supply electricity to an atomic installation despite protests of both the Atomic Energy Com- mission and the TVA, and without competitive bidding. Hall in his turn in the debate said he believed ‘that the Ameri- can people will rise up and con- demn such an unwarranted at- tack.” In Washington James C. Hager- ty, White House press secretary, said he had no comment on Mitch- ell’s allegation. Mitchell, in the debate before a section of the American Bar Agsn’s annual meeting, said the Senate subcommittee on monopoly asked for funds to investigate the situ- tion but that “the Republiean lead- ership through Sen. Jenner (R-Ind) bottled up the request so they can’t get a dime.” needs investigating,” he aid. He later emphasized to news- men that his remarks on the need for an investigation did not direct- ly refer to the President’s alleged role in the incident. He said the contract involved was for providing electrical power for the atomic energy plant at Paducah, Ky., and was 90 million dollars higher than that offered by a rival syndicate and was 140 million dollars more than the TVA would require to supply the power. He did not mention the name of the person he described as one of the President’s “closest friends” but his office said later he re- ferred to golfer Bobby Jones, In Atlanta, Jones said Mitchell’s remarks are “utterly ridiculous and without foundation.” He said, “I resent any implica- tion that the President would be subjected to such influence and I resent the implication that I would be foolish enough to try to bring such influence to bear.” He said he would be surprised. if the President even knew he was a director of the Southern Co, ‘‘be- cause he and I never had any con- versations about that fact.” Mitchell mentioned the matter after Hall had challenged him to cite any “corruption” in the Lisen- hower administration. Coffee Prices May Take Turn For The Better NEW YORK (#—Don’t get your hopes up too much, too soon, but coffee prices may take a turn for the better as the result of an easing of export regulations by Brazil.

Its wholesale price, however, still is about on a par with retail prices of some chain In Boston, Aborn’s Coffee Corp. ). pound cut in the wholesale price. Aborn officials said the price cut | should be refleeted in retail stores within a week. The retail price re- cently has been $1.40 a pound. Other roasters with brands dis- tributed on a nationwide basis were more cautious. They said they would wait and see whether yes- | terday’s drop of two cents a pound | in quotations on the New York Cof- |fee & Sugar Exchange for Santos coffee for delivery in future months was a temporary reaction or would be followed by stable lower prices.

Studebaker,. whose stockholders today approved merger with Pack- ard Motors, opened up % at 18% on a 2,000 share bloek and then inched higher. Packard opened up % at 2% on a block of 4,500 shares.

IMMEDIATE END OF (Continued From Page One) until Oct. 1 to present briefs giv- ing the states’ views on how and when the ruling should be put into effect. The opinions of leaders of both races were sought in a statewide survey conducted through mail About a fourth of the white people questioned agree in principle with the court’s decision. Negroes are overwhelmingly in favor of it. “Only a small minority of lead- ers of both races advocate imme- diate complete desegregation,” a preliminary and tentative report by the committee said. “White leaders, if they accept the idea that segregation should ‘ cate a very gradual indefinite tran- sition period, with a preparatory period of education. Negroes tend to advocate a gradual transition but one beginning soon and lasting over a much shorter period of time.” The committee found variations s between regions, counties, commu- | nities in the expectation that de- Segregation can be accomplished, even gradually, without conflict and public disorder. The surveyors also discovered while only a minority expect se- rious violence as a result of de- Segregation, “there is a wide- spread lack of confidence in the ability of peace officers to main- tain law and order is serious vio- lence does start.” One classroom problem was pre- icted on the basis of achieve- ment. tests ‘showing Negro and white students in the same grade don’t do the same quality of work. “It is not implied that these dif- ferences in scores have an innate racial basis but it seems likely they stem from differences in eco- nomic and cultural background ex- tending far beyond the walls of the segregated school into areas of activity not covered by this de- cision,” the committee said. Dr. Manning Dauer of the Uni- versity of Florida, who made a study of desegregation projects carried out in other parts of the country, reported matters went most smoothly when integration began in the primary grades and at the college level, Some have suggested beginning mixed schooling in the first grade and allowing it to advance grade by grade to permit children to grow up with it, rather than in- troducing it in all grades at once. Dauer said he believed strongly urban counties with comparatively small Negro populations probably would be the best areas in which to start in Florida. | 41 CONGRESSIONAL (Continued from Page One) secretaries, walking around the long table to stand behind each guest and announce her name.

This was their first visit to Key West. Stockdale said the group has been to Mimi five times. Possibly the best comment on the luncheon came from Logun’s bartender, Tony Davila, when he saw so many women sitting down at one table. _ “All those women work in Wash- ington?” Tony asked. When told that they did, he said: “I feel better about it now.

Miranda, one of the defendants who pleaded guilty yesterday, was on the stand as a state’s witness when court recessed at noon. Speaking through an interpreter, Miranda told how he had ridden to Miami after the robbery with the defendant, Hernandez. Miranda identified the jewelry that was in evidence and told how an attempt had been made in Mia- mi to sell the jewelry. - Hernandez is being defended by Megretti Gino, Miami attorney.
