Many Measures Confront Senate WASHINGTON UPI—Senate Democrats, warned that the chamber's business must go on “political campaigns not withstanding.” meet today with their leaders on the backlog of legislation still awaiting action. Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield. Mont., was to preside at the closed session. The meeting was set for 10 a.m. EDT. Mansfield's warning came as Congress resumed after a week’s recess for the Republican National Convention. He put Democratic senators on notice they have only five w r eeks to dispose of key items in President Johnson's legislative program and other important measures. It had been assumed that Congress would adjourn for the year when it quits for the Democratic convention in Atlantic City, N. J.. Aug. 24. But Johnson has never given any firm assurance this would be so. Mansfield’s statement opened the possibility the lawmakers might be called back if their business w r as left unfinished. He conceded Congress “could be here in September and on into December if necessary.” The heavy backlog of legislation is due mainly to the long debate on the civil rights bill. The Senate has passed only two of the 12 major appropriations bills ard still must act on the foreign aid authorization measures The House faces consideration of Johnson's 5962 million war on poverty program, his

NICOSIA, Cyprus UPI— Greek Cypriots moved troops, armored cars and artillery back into attack positions around a key Turkish Cypriot stronghold in the Kyrenia Mountains today after agreeing to a U.N. demand to withdraw. The sudden about-face apparently caught U. N. officials and Turkish Cypriot- 8 by surprise. Greek Cypriot leaders had promised Lt. Col. Andrew J. O. Woodcock, deputy Canadian commander on Cyp ru3 - to withdraw men and weapons moved into positions Friday around the Turkish Cypriot village of Temblos. Greek Cypriot Interior Minister Polycarpis Georghadjis said the withdrawal would be completed early today. On the strength of assurances from Woodcock, authoritative sources said Turkish Cyp-

riots pulled out 100 extra troops from Temblos during the night. But later in the day, the sources said the Greek Cypriots began moving up again. Strong Greek Cypriot national guard elements were reported manning heavily-camouflaged positions around Temblos. Woodcock was reported bitter and angry over the Greek Cypriot move. Officials fear that a large-scale battle between the rival Turkish and Greek Cypriots will lead to an invasion by Turkey and possible counter-action by Greece. Denmark and Sweden already’ have expressed alarm over the threat of war on the island and made moves to safeguard their contingents in the U.N. force. The two—and Canada—were reported preparing to accuse the Greek Cypriots of violating the U.N. resolution that created the U.N. peacekeeping force.

NEW YORK UPI—A weekend of racial rioting and violence in Harlem, America’s largest Negro community, was climaxed early today by shootings and other clashes betw’een steel - helmeted police and roving, rampaging youths. Hundreds of Negroes, seething with anger, hurled bricks, cans, bottles - sven gasoliB* filled “Molotov cocktails” — from rooftops at the embattled police for the second successive night. Police shot four persons Sunday night and early today as they patrolled in 10-man groups attempting to disperse the roving gangs and stop loot-

ing.

Scores were injured, including 12 policemen, during the second night of wild rioting that confirmed dire prophesies of civil rights leaders that the 94 per cent Negro neighborhood was in for a “long hot summer” of violence. At least 25 persons were booked before dawn, bringing the two-night arrest totals to more than 100. A teen-aged boy and girl also were shot early today in an incident in East Harlem apparently not connected with the rioting. A 15-year-old boy who police said was burglarizing a television store was shot in. the stomach and the girl 13, who was sitting on the fire escape of her nearby apartment, was hit in the leg by a stray bullet. The four other shootings were in the heart of the riot area—Manhattan’s Uuper West Side, about 80 blocks north of Times Square. City officials, headed by acting Mayor Paul V. Screvane, planned to meet with civil rights and Harlem community leaders today to discuss ways to bring the emotion - charged situation under control. Appeals from city officials and prominent members of the Negro community for calm went unheeded during the weekend. Nuclear Sentries Whirl In Space CAPE KENNEDY UPI — America’s new nuclear detection satellites, maneuvered into position by three days of skillful rocketry, whirled around earth today as lookouts for any illegal atomic tests during the next 12 months. The two sentries joined a similar pair orbited last October to give the United States a four -satellite force to police the limied test ban treaty signed with Russia last August. Both of the new satellites, together with a small research moonlet, were rocketed early Friday into yo-yo orbits that looped from 65.000 miles in space to within 230 miles of earth. The first of the new watchdog satellites was switched into a circular orbit 65,000 miles high Friday night while the second made another swoop around the earth on the initial orbit. At exactly the right moment Sunday, 59 hours, 11 minutes after launch, scientists at the Air Force Satellite Control Center in Sunnyvale. Calif., triggered a small rocket aboard the second craft and kicked it into the same high curcular orbit
