(AP)--Seg- regation - defying "Freedom Riders" were scheduled to go on trial in Jackson City court today as integrationists contin- ued their massive assault on "Jim Crow" barriers through- out the deep South. Trial of the 27 "Freedom Riders"--25 Negroes and two whites--is set for 6 p. m. in the same courtroom where earlier this year other Negroes were convicted for attempts to integ- rate Jackson's main public Ii-| brary and city bus system.

SIGN OF STRUGGLE NEAR BOY'S BODY Kennedy Asks Huge Aid Budget WASHINGTON (AP)-Presi- dent Kennedy asked Congress today to overhaul drastically the foreign aid program and provide $4,750,000,000 in aid fund for next year and a multi- billion dollar loan system for future years. Kennedy said the proposed long-range program is of "'para- mount importance' for protec- tion of the Western world against the Communist threat. The president made his pro- posal in a letter to Congress transmitting the legislation he wants enacted. A number of influential legis- lators have shown coolness to parts of the Kennedy package, however, and what type of bill Congress will finally approve remains uncertain. In what would be the most drastic shakeup since the aid program got under way on a large scale after the Second World War, Kennedy proposed establishment of a single aid organization combining previ- The new master aid agency would be called ALD.

The eyewitness account had the impact of a thunderclap on the packed courtroom, where in the six weeks since the trial started Eichmann has been ac- cused mainly of high-level di- rection of the Nazi slaughter of 6,000,000 Jews.
