Jasper Brown, father of four children enrolled Tuesday in formerly all-white schools, allegedly shot at a group of white men, wounding two of them. Authorities declihed to give details of the shooting. A warrant was issued prior to Brown’s surrendering which charged him with assault with a

The brother of the president of the Arkansas chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) fought with a white youth outside a recently integrated high school at Pine Bluff, Ark., Tuesday. The man, William Howard, was placed in protective custody by police. The fight began after rocks were thrown at a station wagon used by Howard to transport two Negro pupils to the school. The white youth, Johnny Irvin, 18, was hospitalized with a knife wound after the fight. Meredith Leaves Campus At Oxford, Miss., Negro student James H. Meredith left the University of Mississippi campus aft- i
er concluding his first—and perhaps final—semester at the racially troubled school. Students jeered the 2#-year-old Air Force veteran and a caravan of 30 cars followed him out I of town. There was speculation that Meredith, who was reported having scholastic difficulties, may not return to the university next semester. Meredith drove to Memphis after finishing his first semester, which started with rioting which killed two persons and injured scores of others. Negro Harvey Gantt cleared the last legal hurdle in his bid Jo enter Clemson College when a federal judge in Spartanburg, S.C., issued an injunction prohibiting inthe all-white school. State Sen. John B. Long said on the floor of the Senate at Columbia, S.C., that he would “prefer my children to be raised in ignorance...and live on bear meat than cringe before absolute authority.” Another South Carolina senator, Herbert Jessen, suggested the doctrine of interposition might be

Big Three Resume Nuclear Test Talks
WASHINGTON (UPI) — The United States, Britain and Russia went into the second day of nuclear test ban talks here today with their discussions shrouded in secrecy. Representatives of the three nuclear powers met at the State Department for nearly four hours Tuesday and announced they had agreed on two things: —To meet again at 3 p.m. EST today. —Not to discuss the meetings publicly. The talks follow an exchange of letters between Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev and President Kennedy in which Khrushchev somewhat eased his position > on a test ban. For the first time since 1961 Khrushchev accepted in principle on-the-spot inspection of Soviet territory to check against violations. The Soviet premier agreed to two or three trips a year to Russia by international inspection teams, and also to permit foreign personnel to station up to three unmanned monitoring devices on Russian soil. U.S. officials considered neither the number of trips nor the number of unmanned devices enough, but hoped this could be negotiable. U.S. disarmament chief William C. Foster declined to comment on whether Tuesday’s meeting made progress, or whether cautious U. S. hopes raised by Khrushchev’s letters still stood. One by one,_ the negotiators of the three countries filed out of the State Department Building shortly after dark with the same story for newsmen. Soviet Ambassador to the United Nations Nikolai T. Fedorenko said, “Tomorrow at 3 p.m. Be quiet and patient.” British Ambassador Sir David Ormsby Gore said, “It has been agreed to make no statement on the meetings.” Foster told newsmen the pact of silence would stand “until broken,”, unless there was an agreement to change it.

Flood Os Bills Introduced In Slate Assembly INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — Removal of a barrier to introduction of proposed constitutional amendments opened the floodgates tor a wealth of them today in the Indiana Legislature. Shortly after the Republican reapportionment plan was introduced, measures were presented for annual sessions of the legislature, a referendum on a constitutional convention, remove household goods from property taxation, repeal the poll tax and outlaw justices of the peace. Reps. John Coppes, R-Nappa-nee, and Robert L. Rock, D-An-derson, introduced a bipartisan plan for annual sessions of the legislature, 90 days instead of the present 61 days on odd-numbered years, and a 31-day session limited only to budget matters on the even-numbered years. Reps. Keith Bulen and William Wildhack, Jr.,R-Indianapolis, offered an amendment which would remove provisions for justices of the peace from the constitution. The authors claimed their aim was not to get rid of the court but to make it a statutory office so the legislature could set qualifications. Wildhack teamed with Rep. Edward Madinger, R-Indianapolis, on another amendment plan to remove household goods from property taxation. Madinger and Rep. Robert Smith, D-Portland, offered another which would end poll taxes. Sen. Melville Watson, D-Green-field, offered a resolution which would submit to the voters at the 1964 general election the question of whether they think a constitutional convention should be called to draft a new constitution. A number of bills also were introduced. Sens. Donald Yeagley D-South Bend and Wesley Bowers, DEvansville, proposed that the state establish a minimum wage of $1.25 an hour. Sen. Paul Hatfield, D-Evans-ville, and Walter A. Baran, DHammond, introduced a bill which would hike the present unemployment pay from $36 to at least S4O a week and a possible maximum of S4B, by the addition of $2 per week for each dependent up to four. ■ » . 4-4. ■ Sens. James Spurgeon.. DBrownstown, and Willis Batchelet, R-Fremont, want the Indiana State Highway Department placed on a bipartisan basis except for technical and skilled personnel already on a merit basis. Other bills would: —Tighten enforcement of a ban against sale of fireworks. Sens. Bernard Krampe, D-Ferdinand, and Lucius Somers, R-Hoagland. —Limit sales at wholesale prices to bonafide wholesalers. Sen. Von Eichhorn, D-Uniondale, —Allow the Indianapolis mayor
