The subm :rine Graybaek fired
a 57-foot ' egulus capable of
carrying a h Orogen warhead, 200
miles overland to Edwards AFB
in California's Mojave Desert.
Upon arrival at the base the
missile's recovery gear failed. Its
wheels failed to lower and it
caught fire and burned.
Test models of the Regulus are
equipped lvlth wheels so they
may be recovered after firing.
The newly commissioned 320-

Point Mugu Naval Air Missile
test Center with the Regulus II
mounted on a swiveling launcher
just forward of the conning tower.
The missile took off in a haze
of smoke as it roared into the
sky under power of its turbojet
engine and the thrust of its boost
er rocket. Shortly after launching
the booster rocket automatically
disengaged and felt into the
ocean.

UAW
DETROIT, Mich. (JP) Ford
Motor Co. convened a special
meeting of its board of .directors
late yesterday amid reports it
would sweeten its contract offer
to avert a strike of 108,000 United

dent in charge of industrial rela
tions, said that if the negotiations
went into a night-long session as
anticipated he would be in con
stant touch with the board of di
rectors "until we have a settle
ment or a strike."
Bugas said the board of direc
tors makes the final decisions on
Ford's offers to its workers and
he indicated any addition to Mon
day's contract offer to the UAW
would have to get board approval
first.
Fourteen of the 18 members of
the board of directors were on call
at the big Ford headquarters
building ,in suburban Dearborn
while negotiations continued at a
Detroit hotel with UAW and Ford
bargaining teams trying to work

unloaded all its supplies in the
fast time of 20 minutes. Apparent
ly amphibious vehicles were used
to dash supplies ashore.
The airdrop was at Little Quem
oy, 40 miles from a Red air base,
and the ministry pronounced it
successful.
The Fled bombardment dur
ing the Lsrs short stay at
Quemoy was particularly in
tense, the ministry said. By
Nationalist count 5820 shells fell
in just under live hours.
This was a big increase over the
relatively light shellings in the
past few days. The ministry said
that from 6 a.m. yesterday the
Quemoy offshore complex took
a total of 6840 shells.
The supplies for Little Quemoy
were dropped, the ministry said,
from seven transport planes. No
interference came from the Red
air base at Lungki, 40 miles west
of the Quemoys, where the Reds
are believed to have MIGI7s.
The Communist blockade was
cracked anew after Premier
and Vice President Chen Cheng
assured the Nationalist Parlia
ment earlier in the day the gov
ernment has no intention of Idly
sitting by and letting the more
than 100,000 civilians and mili
tary personnel on Quemoy and
its adjacent islands be besieged
without taking effective meas
'
ures for their reinforcement
and relief.
He said if the Reds succeeded
in sealink off Quemoy completely,
it would mean extending the war.
By this he apparently meant
that the Nationalists would be
forced to try to break the siege
by bombing the Red , batteries.
Chen made his - Statement in
an open session. Later Parlia
ment met in closed session in
which reports were submitted
by Defense Minister Yu Ta-wei:
his deputy. Vice Adm. Ma Chi
chuang:' and Foreign Minister
Huang Shao-ku.
Several legislators reportedly
apnealed ,for the government to
order the air force to bomb the
Red guns.
Huang is said to have urged the iI

lawmakers to be patient.

Jersey Train
lEngineer
Is Examined
BAYONNE, N.J. (If'} Xn
autopsy indicated yesterday
that a weak heart caused by
high blood pressure contrib
uted to the engineer's death
when a commuter train
plunged from an open draw
bridge into Newark Bay.
But medical officials were care-1
ful to point out that the exact!
cause of death will not be knowni
until further tests are made.
At least 21 died in the crashi
Monday and perhaps that many
more. One passenger coach. pos-1
sibly with bodies aboard, re
[mained on the bottom of the bay
I Tuesday night with divers and
barge crewmen struggling to
,raise it.
The enginAer of the Jersey
Central train was Lloyd Wil
burn. 63. of Red Bank, N.J., a
veteran - railroader due to re
tire shortly.
Mystified officials strove to find
out why Wilburn's train did not
halt on the bri d g e before it
reached the lift-type draw.
A series of investigations ei
ther were under way or ordered,
including probes by the Interstate
Commerce Commission and the
New Jersey Public Utility Com
mission.
In Washington, ih. ICC or
dered a public hearing in New
York on Thursday to establish
"an of•the facts, conditions and
circumstances" of the accident.
One question to be answered
was whether Wilburn suffered
any sudden disability, causing his
hand to slip from the throttle of
the diesel engine.

Ike Hopes Pressure
Will Reopen Schools
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS troops being called out again as
Th e Eisenhower adminis-Ithey were at Central High last
year,
•tration expressed the hope'
;Tuesday that public pressure'
,by parents and children would',
;force reopening of Southern
schools closed to halt integration.
Gov. J. Lindsay Almond Jr. of
!Virginia reacted promptly. He,
I said it was the "old familiar
;technique of divide and conquer
land this i what they've been ti y
iing to do all the time."
In Little Rock, Gov. Orval Fau
lbus of Arkansas announced he
[has advanced by IP days the date
for a special school vote in the
city on admitting Negroes to the
I white schools. The referendum
'election now is set for Sept. 27.
The governor said the action
had nothing fo do with any
public clamor for reopening the
schools, however.
Faubus closed the four high
schools at Little Rock after the
U.S. Supreme Court ordered in
tegration to-proceed immediately
at Central High. Almond shut the
Front Royal, Va., school in the
face of a federal court desegre
gation order.
At Newport, R. 1., Atty. Gen.
Rogers conferred with President
Eisenhower at the summer White
House and then told a news con
ference the administration was
holding up federal action "at this
time" pending further develop
ments in Arkansas and Virginia.
He said that "Reports re
ceived from the communities
involved indicate that the ser
ious impact of what it means
to have the public schools closed
is beginning to be keenly felt
and its significance more fully
appreciated."
Rogers said it was hoped pub
lic pressure would force reopen
ing of the schools involved. But
he made it plain the government
would take whatever legal action
it could to get the schools open
if local authorities failed to do
so.
The attorney general did not
rule out the possibility of federal
