Five Shots Fired at Army
Jeep on Ole Miss Campus
OXFORD, Miss. (/Pi — An un
known gunman fired five shots at
an Army jeep on the edge of the
University of Mississippi campus
today. No one was believed hit.
This was the first reported in
stance of attack on any military
units stationed at the university
since the rioting broke out over
enrollment of James Meredith, a
Negro, in the 114-year-old school.
Soldiers reported the shots ap
peared to have come from a green
automobile.
The jeep at which the gunman
fired was part of the 503rd Military
Police Bn.
Later, a green car, answering the
description of the one from which
the shots came, was found on the
campus, deserted.
Meredith Hissed
And Booed In
Ole Miss Students
OXFORD, Miss. W — A crowd
of 50 to 60 students, clustered in
a hallway, loudly hissed and booed
James Meredith when he left a
University of Mississippi political
science class today.
Amid the clamor — which in
cluded some profanity and ob
scenity — one student shouted:
"Your life is short.”
Meredith had entered the class
in Cowner Hall through a rear en
trance, accompanied by federal
marshals. About two dozen stu
dents entered through the front
door.
While he was in the classroom,
a number of students stared at him
through windows and doors.
The epithets were hurled when
he left the class and moved
through the narrow hallway out
side, again escorted by marshals.
Earlier, Meredith ate breakfast
in the school cafeteria before he
headed into the final classes of
his first week at Ole Miss.
Federal marshals — still the re
duced force of three men—accom
panied the 29-year-old Negro into
the cafeteria, where he got his
own plate and ate at a table with
them.
People stared, but nothing more.
Meredith plans to leave the
campus later for a weekend holi
day — destination unannounced.
A restless peace hung over the

Pav Hike and
Postal Raise
WASHINGTON A—The House
passed today a compromise bill
to increase postal rates $600 mil
lion a year and at the same time
raise salaries of government work
ers $1.05 billion a year in two
steps. The roll call vote was 312
j to 20.
House action, delayed on a tech
nicality. sent the measure to Pres
ident Kennedy. He has asked both
| the postal rate increase and a
sweeping revision of the federal
salary structure.
Tire major provision affecting
the general public will be an in
crease in letter mail rates next
Jan. 7. First-class letters will re
quire a five-cent stamp, airmail
eight cents and post cards four
cents — a one-cent increase in
each instance. These will bring in
an added $437.3 million a year.
Other rate increases for news
j paper, magazines and advertising
material would be spread over
three years, starting in January.
Pay raises for 1.6 million gov
ernment workers would become
effective with the first pay period
after Kennedy signs the bill. A
second increase would take effect
Jan. 1, 1964.
Amounts of the raises vary
widely among different jobs, but
they average about 10 per cenl
for a million executive and office
workers and slightly over 11 per
cent for 600,000 postal employes.

Sovirts Kxprll
[ .S. .Vn v Cmdr.
For Ksriiona^r
MOSCOW VP — Th.- Soviet
Union today expelled the Asst
U.S. Naval attache. Cmdr. Ray
mond D. Smith, charging hirri with
spying on Soviet military in-tall »
tions.
The Soviet government news
paper dramatized the event tonight
by publishing two photographs
purportin', to show Smith e.a ig’pt in
the act of photographing war-hips
in Leningrad.
The Soviet Foreign Ministry
ordered Smith to leave the coun
try immediately, after delivering
an oral protest to U.S. Minister
Counselor Jame s MeS veenoy.
One of the Izvestia photographs,
also shown on Moscow television
this evening, showed Smith sur
rounded by five men and a wom
an — apparently Russians. The be
spectacled Naval officer was dross
j ed in a light raincoat, with a eam
; era around ids neck. One of the
| men appeared to be firmly grasp
> ing his arm and escorting him
away. The photo also showed what
: appeared to be the superstructures
of ships in the background.
A second picture showed a
i jumble of objects, presumably
. taken from the American officer.
Izvestia said these included maps,
drawings, notes, binoculars, a min
iature tape recorder and a minia
ture camera.
It was assumed that Smith’s
expulsion was ordered in retalia
tion for the expulsion from the
United States this week of two
members of the Soviet delegation
to the United Nations accused of
buying defense secrets from a U.S.
sailor.
The Soviet Foreign Ministry
note said Smith had “carried out
espionage through observation of
military objects.”
The U.S. counsul said he had
rejected the protest as well as
the charges that Smith was en
gaged in espionage, “but as usual
in these cases we are complying
with the ministry’s wishes.”
Smith was detained and ques
tioned by Soviet authorities Tues
day while on a trip to Leningrad.
U.S. Accuses Soviets
Of “Roughing Up”
WASHINGTON UP> — The Unit
ed States accused the Soviet Union
! today of forcibly detaining and
; "roughing up” its assistant Naval
; attache in Moscow before order
j ing him out of the country on a
charge of espionage.
The State Department said that
Cmdr Raymond Smith will leave
Moscow next Monday, complying
I with Soviet demands as is custn
; mary in such cases.
The United States however re
jected Soviet allegations of im
proper behavior by Smith, the
department declared.
It added that the U.S. Embassy
had also "strongly protested to
the Mmistrv of Defense this gross
, I violation of diplomatic immunity.”
