The first sign of trouble in the nation’s capital over mix ing the races in schools developed yesterday with hundreds of white students. demonstrating at two Washington high schools, Demonstrations against integration spread in Baltimore where two bands of marching students numbering several hundred, paraded through the .streets. At least nine Baltimore schools reported demonstrations as classes started. ! In Washington, some 400 of the 1250 students enrolled at Aha costia High, gathered across the street from the school, and jeered their principal’s pleas that they return to classes. The demonstra tors booed 43 Negro, students as they entered the building. More Demonstration One striking student said admit tance of 20 additional Negroes to Anacostia Friday caused the de monstration. A similar demonstration was staged at McKinley High in Wash ington by about 150 boys and girls but they were persuaded to. trans fer their protest meeting to a class room. The meeting broke up in confusion. Several students criticized ad mittance of Negroes to McKinley with one girl declaring she was “afraid to walk down the hall. They walk right up behind me and say things I wouldn’t repeat.” Suggestion A majority of the students how ever, appeared to favor a sugges tion by Anthony Green, one of the school’s football players, that a committee be named to handle the situation. But dozens of students walked out when another student suggested that the pupils go home and stay out at least a week “if you want the rest to follow you.” The District of Columbia plan for ending racial segregation in schools had brought expressions of hope from President Eisenhow er and others that it would be come a model for other sections to follow in carrying out the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling outlawing segregation. Shouting Crowds The shouting crowds of students in Baltimore made stops at the City Hall and called for Mayor Thomas D’Alesandro. Both crowds were scattered by police but they formed later and continued their -marching.

By The Associated Press France, Britain Hail Russia's Atomic Plan, UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., Oct. 4 (/P) —Britain and France today hailed the new Russian proposals on atomic control as a step for ward, but emphasized they-want to know exactly how far Moscow has gone, toward agreement with the West. i Selwyn Lloyd, British minister of state, gave the first Western answer to the atomic resolution introduced by Russia’s Andrei Y. Vishinsky last Thursday. His stand, was quickly endorsed by the chief French delegate, Guerin du Bosq de Beaumont. Lloyd told the UN Assembly the Vishinsky plan is an apparent move toward proposals laid down by Britain and France in secret UN disarmament talks in London last June 11. “That is a fact to be welcomed*” Lloyd said as the ranking Russian delegate in the hall, Jacob A. Malik, took, i\otes. Vishinsky was absent. “It may be,” Lloyd added, “that their resolution is put forward solely to confuse the domestic political • situation in countries considering a German defense con tribution.” However, he added, Britain will deal with these problems in the various UN bodies which will consider them , and will never give up efforts to reach an agreement. Stars Are Loose Hollywood Romance Ends; Monroe Files Divorce Suit HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 4 (£>)—-'The nine-month mar riage of movie queen Marilyn. Monroe and baseball hero Joe DiMaggio shattered today and she will sue for divorce. The news, announced by the blonde star’s stu-t dio, hit Hollywood like an A-bomb. There had been' no hint of anything but harmony in the DiMaggio home. Both', the onetime Yankee Clipper and his volup tuous wife were secluded in their English farm house in Beverly Hills. A horde of newsmen and television and newsreel photographers waited outside most of the day—in vain. At 2:45 p.m. Jerry Giesler, famous filmtown lawyer, and Harry Brand, publicity chief at Miss Monroe’s studio, emerged. “She won't be., out today," the attorney said. “I will try to set up a press conference in my office for Wednesday noon. <She is sick and cannot talk now.” Giesler said he expected to file the divorce suit tomorrow in Santa Monica. “The charges will be innocuous—the usual mental cruelty,’’ he said. He added Joe had no comment and was not now represented by an attorney in the proceedings.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA Hopes Rise On German Rearmament PARIS, Oct.-4 (A*) —Chances for French parliamentary approval of the-London agreements to rearm West Germany appeared bright today. Members of center "and rightist parties as well as followers of Gen. Charles de Gaulle praised Premier Pierre Mendes-France for protectjng French sovereignty and retaining a close partnership with -Britain in the nine-power negotiations. Substantial Majority The key to the success of the new plan, which replaces the Eu ropean Defense Community army plan killed by the French Assem bly, appeared to lie in the hands of the left-of-center Popular Re publican Movement (MRP), and the Socialists. One MRP member, . who : de clined to be quoted by namej-pre dicted the premier will swing a substantial majority behind the decisions to bring West Germany into expanded Brussels alliance and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Likely Attitude Mendes-France, taking the in itiative to prevent any buildup of opposition in parliamentary cir cles through delayed consider ation, has called an extraordinary session of the assembly beginning Thursday to hear his report on the London talks. The ratification vote, however, may not come for several weeks. When the legislators reconvene, this likely will be the attitude of the key MRP and Socialist par ties: MRP, the party of Georges Bidault and Robert Schuman, is staunchly pro-European.

Security Risks In Military Low-—Wilson DENVER, Oct. 4 (/P) —Secretary of Defense Charles Wilson de clared today the number of se curity risks under investigation or already ousted from the na tion’s four-million-man military setup “is happily quite small in percentages.” Wilson’s statement at a news conference after a meeting with PresidentEisenhowercame against the background of the hot politi cal controversy over Vice Presi dent Nixon’s recent assertion. ' Nixon Asserts He asserted that the adminis tration is “kncking the Commun ists and the fellow travelers and the security risks out of the gov ernment, not by the hundreds, but by the thousands.” Stephen Mitchell, chairman of the Democratic National Commit tee, has called on Nixon to name “the Communists who have been kicked out,” or repudiate his statement and apologize to the public. In reply to a question, Wilson said he brought with him from Washington no precise figures on how many security risks have been removed from the Defense Department’s total force, or on how many persons are under in vestigation now. community property in the settlement. He offered the opinion that incompatibility and “conflict of careers’’ was the reason for the breakup and added that both parties still are friendly. Asked if Joe would be moving out today, Giesler replied, “I don’l? think so.” He denied reports that the recent sidewalk photos of Miss Monroe’s skirt billowing over her head in New York had anything to do with the split. He also commented that she was not preg nant. “They’ve talked it over and reached a pleasant understanding,” he said. Only a handful of intimates knew there was trouble brewing between the pair. On Sept. 9, the famed calendar girl flew to New York for locations of “Seven-Year Itch.” She was slated to return Sept. 12, but a hurricane delayed her. Joe flew to join her. “They seemed to be very much in loye,” said a studio source who was with them. “They are not the demonstrative type, but they appeared to' be warmly affectionate.” They flew back here together Sept. 16. Last week he returned to New York to cover the World Series for a syndicate. She continued working in her picture. ,“The Czechs did not beat or abuse us,” Capt. Richard H. Dries, 32, of St. Albans, N.Y., told a news conference. “But they applied a tremendous amount of psycholog ical pressure on us. “They made it clear that they considered us spies and _could do with us what they chose. They made us feel like they might keep us in prison forever.” Dries and Pfc. George M. Pisk, 22, of Austin, Tex., were seized by Czech border guards at guii point Sept. 17 near Eslarn, Ba r varia, while on a routine border mission. They were freed last Sat urday at Waidhaus on the Ger man-Czech frontier. Cloak and Dagger Wilson Replies 13,000 Readers See These Ads Dip and Whirl With Yopr Girl hi ffte Aistasi M 8b Dec Hail H o M “The whole experience,* said Pisk, a Yale graduate, “was un real like a Grade B movie mys tery. Everything was cloak and dagger stuff.” Both were held in solitary con finement in Prague. They told of being grilled day and night by Czech army officers in civilian clothes. Dries was in civilian clothes, too, when he was arrested. His assignment to captain from first lieutenant came through while he was behind the Iron Curtain. “They tried to pry military se crets out of us,” the captain said, “but we told them nothing.” He quoted a Czech, officer as warning sternly: “We can throw you in jaH and keep you just as long as we did William Oatis.” • Reports on Ceil PiSk, a husky Vienna-born nat uralized American, reported his cell was about 8 by 13 feet and fitted with opaque windows. The prison food was sufficient, but not up to American standards, Pisk said, and he lost about M pounds, “possibly because of the mental strain.” “I ate almost nothing for tfee first three days,” he said with a rueful grin. “I jost couldn’t choke it down.” “The .worst part of all, was the psychological pressure. They told us our government had forgotten all about us.” _ The U.S. Embassy in Prague was pressing for release of the pair throughout their confinement, but the Czechs had declined even to say where they were held.

Wood placed the figure of Pennsylvania’s un employed at 339,000 persons to night and said the Republicans are doing something about it.
