Mann has been one of the most outspoken critics of Goa\ Orval Faubus in the latter’s feud with the federal government over the Little Rock school integration sit uation. Monday the City Council passed an ordinance to require that certain organizations submit detailed in formation on contributions and expenditures, m e m b e r ship and other matters. The organizations were not named, but it was generally ac cepted that the ordinance was di- I’ected at the NAACP. Yesterday Mann ordered! the NAACP, the Capital Citizens Coun cil and the Freedom Fund and the League of Central High Mothers— the latter three segregationists groups—to submit the data re quired by the ordinance. The law specifies that the information must be filed within 15 days after notice. Mrs. L. C. Bates, president of the Arkansas chapter of the NAACP, said the organization’s legal research committee would study the. ordinance and recom mend “what we should do.” Atty. Amis Guthridge said the Citizens Council “has nothing to hide” and added that if the group comes’ under the ordinance its terms would be complied with. He said the same view would hold for the Freedom Fund, for which he also is attorney. Sputnik Visible Only At Sunrise By JIM NEIGHBORS Operation Moon Watch swings into action Friday morn ing in College Station to observe the passage of Sputnik as it wings its way over Texas at a height of 560 miles. Jack Kent, director of the local unit of moon watch, plans to have his teams out in full force to scan the skies and track the path of the Russian-built satellite. According to the Naval Research Lab in Washington, D. C., Sputnik should pass over A&M early Friday morning. However, the moonwatch team will be on duty from 4 a. m. until sunrise as the satellite is only visible during sunrises and sunsets. In charge of the overall♦ program is the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory of Harvard University in Cam bridge, Mass. They are coor dinating all the data gathered by the 100 moonwatch units in the United States. The teams are having difficulty tracking the satellite because the stations were originally set up to observe Vanguard. This is the code name for the U. S. satellite, which will be launched in December. Vanguard will travel in an area between plus 40° and minus 40° latitude and will follow the path of the equator. Sputnik, however, travels in an orbit of 65° latitude, thus making it a complex problem for the teams to spot the satellite. Traveling around the Earth 15 times in 24 hours, the Russian miniature! moon advances 27.2° iin every 24 hour period. This is due to the earth’s rotation and as a re sult, the satellite travels from northwest to southeast as it passes over College Station the first time and goes just the opposite direction on its next trip overhead. According to Kent, the U. S. is most interested in tracking the satellite. To aid in the tracking, A&M’s contribution includes more than three teams of moonwatchers. Each team consists of 16 teles- (See SPUTNIK, Page 2) Houston Public Schools Ordered To Integrate Next Soviet Step May Be Telescope LONDON,
