(AP)--Gov- ernor Ross Barnett of Missis- sippi and Oxford clergymen made separate pleas today for obedience to law and order as federal marshals predicted new incidents at the University of Mississippi. The fear of new violence in an area where two men died hinges around the football game Saturday between Mississippi and the University of Houston. About 30,000 are expected for the game, the focal point of homecoming' celebrations. James.H. Meredith, the tirst Ne 'wdmitted to jegro the university, is not expected to be in Oxford this weekend. The 29-year-old Meredith, offi- cials said, has plans which will take him off the campus. University officials insisted the game was on. Justice department officials were not so definite. Edwin Guthman, the justice department's top agent on the scene, took 'this view: "We realize how important this weekend is to the college and to the alumni. On the other hand, we don't want any more riots or violence. We must make an assessment. There has been a major disturbance here, two people killed, and numerous others injured." Guthman conferred at Mc-) Lean, Va., with Attorney-Gen- eral Kennedy Wednesday night. Guthman said the game can be shifted to another site, "if the facts warrant it in the judgment of the military and department of justice." Barnett, who defied the fed- eral court order to admit Mer- edith, appeared on a Jackson television station and urged Mississippians to "be calm, be patient." *"'Let's by all means avoid vi- olence. Let's maintain law. and order."" The clergy of Oxford asked the people for a "time of re- pentance Sunday."

Two doctors on the Kearsarge already have reported he ap- parently suffered no ill-effects. No other American has spent so much time--more than nine hours--weightless and in orbit.

Most of them were women. An immediate investigation was launched to learn the cause of the disaster, described by! one official as "unbelievable."| The explosion 'occurred at 12:07 p.m. EDT, when about 100 employees of the New York Telephone Company's uptown Manhattan building were CITY EMERGENCY | PHONE NUMBERS POLICE 725-1133 FIRE DEPT. 725-6574 | HOSPITAL 723-2211 | crowded in the basement lunch- room.

The Vancouver jurist is. in- vestigating waterfront labor vi- olence and deliberate dis- ruptions to shipping--an inquiry ordered by the federal govern- ment after inter-union rivalries tied up Canadian ships in Amer- jean lakeports and threatened last July to block the seaway and Welland canal routes "I am afraid that the people of Canada generally are not alive to the magnitude of the threat to our economy present in the disruption of trafftc on the Great Lakes and "Seaway," he said, opening his public in- quiry in this city near the Wel- and jurisdictional land Canal linking lakes Ontario and Erie.

U.S. To Bar Cuba Arms Shippers > WASHINGTON (CP) -- The United States has advised its NATO allies and Latin Ameri- can countries that it plans to close U.S. ports to all shipping of countries which have any vessels engaged in carrying arms to Cuba, it was learned today. The U.S. also would deny U.S. government. cargo to foreign- flag ships of any owner whose vessels are used in trade be- tween Cuba and the Sino-Soviet bloc.

Seven other provinces--New- foundland, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edw: rd Is- land, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and British Columbia -- either said flatly they were not inter- ested, or failed to reply to his invitation, he said. The Briish Columbia appeal court judge said the total va- lue of seaway traffic is in the billions of dotlars--$2,127,053,000 1960; then $2,482,284,000 in 1961, and $1,463,830,000 from April to August this year. CANADIANS UNAWARE He said the rtsponse of the provinces to his invitation indi- cates clearly that a large part of Canada is not alive to the threat of seaway disruption to he economy. "This is apart entirely from the active interest which all our people from all the provinces-- and particularly those charged with the enforcement of law should have in the shocking dis- regard of law and order and of the rights and safety of good citizens as evidenced by the outrageous acts of violence and gangsterism which have had Gunman Shoots Wounds Fifth LOS ANGELES (AP)--An en- raged gunman shot four persons to death and wounded a fifth Wednesday and then vanished in the darkness, hunted by scores of police, The shootings occurred at a small hotel in West Los Ange- les. They came after a caller complained to police of a loud radio in the hotel. "See the manager about it," he was told. Moments later a volley of pistol shots rocked the Cotner Hall Hotel. When the first officer reached the scene the gunman was gone, the hotel was silent, and the only ones there were dead, dy- ing, or wounded. Among those slain was the woman who man- aged the hotel. Two of the injured died at nearby University of California at Los Angeles Medical Centre, where the wounded man--possi- fo any cessel in the Cuban trade but the aim here is 'to pre- vent such a vessel from picking up privately-owned cargo. bly the only witness--is uncon- scious, in serius condition with a bullet wound under tne right arm. : Four To Death,| Norris Warns Of 'Gangsters publicity in our newspapers for many months and which have been proved during the course of this inquiry." Declaring that he has not made a finding "as to who is responsible for the terrible con- dition," Mr. Justice Norris said: "There is no doubt that the gangsterism has existed and still exists."

The commission counsel was delving into ihe question of whether Mr. Wintermeyer had checked the ,uccuracy of in- formation contained in the speech, when Liberal lawyer B, J. MacKinnon protested. "Of what possible relevence| is this now, except as a polit- ical hatchet job?" Mr. Wilson asked. Mr. Justice W. D. Roach, the commissioner, said that he did not want "any political sword dancing here, either from you or Mr. Wilson." "This is neither the time nor the place for political prop- aganda,"" the commissioner ad- ded. "That is exactly my point," Mr. MacKinnon said. blew up Battle At Crime Probe At the time, Mr. Wintermeyer jwas being questioned about a section of his speech dealing with a report that an official of bh from. 4 be: r. Wilson described this as "casting aspersions" on a sen- jor official and asked. whether Mr. Wintermeyer meant to have! jthe inference drawn that be- cause of such alleged payments a police inquiry into tip-offs to gamblers had been terminated. Mr. Wintermeyer replied that what he had in mind was to Unt out that the statemen was included in the diary of former OPP Constable George Scott and that it was a matter that should be brought to public at- tention. "T think it is for yourself to find out if it is true," he said. Mr. Wilson commented that the commission evidence showed that the reference to' $800 payments had noi been brought to the attention of At- torney-General Kelso Roberts or Deputy Attorney-General W.

Common until after a decision had been reached to terminate} DATE Walkout Would Involve About 6,000 Employees The brotherhood also an- nounced today that a similar eight per cent increase has been granted to about 150 trainmen on tht Pacific Great Eastern Railway in British Columbia. The CPR has so far refused to go beyond 6% per cent in its offer to the brotherhood. WOULD BE DIFFERENT If the railway succeeds in holding the line under eight per cent, it would be the first time since 1939 that wage sete tlements on the two major raile roads have not been of the same order. William P. Kelly of Ottawa, brotherhood vice-president, said today the negotiations with the CPR. have been going on for 18 months and were in conciliation for a year. The federal conciliation board chairman, Judge John B, Robinson of Haileybury, Ont., said in his Aug. 29 report that it would be almost impossible for the CPR to ignore the CNR's settlement for eight per cent. But he said that having rec- ommended 6% per cent for the CNR firemen, he could not make "'an about face" and fa- vor a different figure for the CPR. Senator Arthur Roebuck, un- ion of the board, called , - should not be expected to get less money than their CNR counterparts -- and "their em- ployer should not provoke in- dustrial hostilities by insis:ing that they do so." CITE POLITICS R, V. Hicks, CPR nominee cn the board, said the increase should not exceed 6% per cent. He said the brotherhood's eight- per-cent increase was won fiom the CNR last June during the election campaiga in a "some- what accommodating political climate" and because of this it should not be recognized by the CPR. Mr. Kelly said today the brotherhood is 'prepared for continuous negotiations" and is waiting to hear from the CPR. But in a_ statement, the brotherhood said that "under no circumstances should train and yard service employees on the CPR be expected to work for less than their counterparts the 1960 undercover investiga- tion. ; on the Canadian National."
