(AP Photo) staring like sightless eyes over the walled Monastery Sitting High Over South Texas Garden HEBBRONVILLE, Tex. <#>— There’s a lost Franciscan monas tery here standing high on a hill, its windows staring like sightless eyes over the walled garden where Texas mesquite is replaced by the tropical lushness of bananas and palms. Inside, the echoing halls are bare and deserted, except for three priests and three lay brothers, one of whom, a pianist, sometimes looses a flood of melody through corridors and down the marble stairs. Scotus College, as it is called, had its begining in 1926 when nuns and priests of the various orders fled Mexico before the so cial revolution. After brief stays at various lo cations, members of the great re ligious organizations founded by St. Francis of Assissi reached this brush country haven and started Two To Be Given SummerF ellowships Jack V.

Again Halts Launch Of Balloon By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.—The United States again today post poned an attempt to launch an immense balloon communications satellite into orbit about the earth. Technical problems with the carrier rocket blocked the ef fort. The launching of the 100-foot sphere will be the first step in a long range investigation of the use of satellites for global communica tions. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration announced the launching was postponed “be cause of indications of technical problems in the command guidance system in the first stage.” No new firing date was set. If the trouble is minor, a launching could be tried again Friday. which is the energy source of the atomic bomb. Several atomic fis sion power plants are already in operation generating electricity in this country and abroad. Control of the fusion reaction for power generation has not yet been ac complished. De Hoffmann, who will be ac- comanied to Houston for the board meeting and luncheon of the Texas Atomic Energy Research Founda tion by Dr. Donald W. Kerst, proj ect leader of the fusion research program, has been associated with the nation’s atomic energy pro gram since 1944 and is particularly noted for his work on the develop ment of the atomic and hydrogen bombs and studies in nuclear reac tor theory and high-energy nuclear physics. He was was connected with the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory from 1944 to 1955 and from 1949 to 1951 was deputy to Dr. Edward Teller. _ Directors Directors of the Texas Atomic Energy Research Foundation, who will attend the meeting in Hous ton, in addition to Wharton, are: J.

It was named after one of the most profound scholars of the Middle Ages, Joannes Duns Scot us—J o h n Dun of Scotland—a Franciscan and a professor of the ology at Oxford. In the school, which in the be ginning was only a small cluster of frame classrooms, the friars once more began to train laymen for the priesthood and in the ten ets of the Franciscan order, which has long been identified with great educational institutions. The white masonry building, main structure of the college, was completed about 1940 with ac commodations for nearly 40 stu dents and priests, but only 6 re main. When the rigorous treat ment of the clergy was relaxed in Mexico, novices once more be gan to study at another Francis can college in Monterrey. “But maybe next year—manama —the students will come, says Fa ther Ramon Solano, one of the three priests in residence. Several churches in the sur rounding region are served by the padres and lay brothers, as well as two in Hebbronville. One of these is a little yellow structure which crouches beside the huge pile of the monastery; the other a new sanctuary for Our Lady of Guadalupe. This last, with tilted domes and towering walls, may not be fin ished for years.

C., despite mass arrests of sit-in demonstrat ors. A mayor’s committee on human relations put before city council a three-step plan leading to inte gration of lunch counters at three Durham variety stores. Even as the plan was being ap proved by the committee Wednes day, police were arresting 57 stu dents—including four white per sons—on charges of trespass. The student were staging a protest demonstration against segregated eating facilities. The proposed plan embodies a waiting period to let “tension sub side” before integrated service is stai’ted on a controlled basis. Full integration would come when the modification has been accepted by the public. Meanwhile, the demon strations would end. In Vicksburg, Miss., Sheriff Jewell Pace was investigating an incident in which an owner of a white cafe allegedly shot at a Ne-* gro man who sat down in the es tablishment. The owner, Thad Brooks, told officers he fired one shot, but that he missed the man. A Negro identified as Lonnie Chaney, 24, of Tallulah, Dh., was admitted to a Shelby, Miss., hos pital later in the day with a .45 bullet wound in his side. Pace said Brooks was charged with as sault with intent to kill and re leased on $50 bond. A Negro leader, the Rev. Mar tin Luther King of Atlanta, said in New York that sit-in demon strations would be used by South ern Negroes in an effort to gair voting rights this November. Kinr declined to elaborate on the cam paign. In New Orleans, a federal judge gave the Orleans Parish county School Board until Monday to come up with a school desegrega tion plan. Judge J. Skelly Wright said if no plan is presented, he’ll draft one himself. Negro boys will be permitted to attend an Episcopal Church sum mer camp for boys in North Caro lina. Racial integrattion at the camp was voted by the clergy over strong objections of laymen. A city court judge in San An tonio, Tex., acquitted a white res taurant owner and a Negro min ister he slapped during an attempt ed sit-in demonstration. The white man, Eugene Nolte, had been charged with disturbing the peace and simple assault. The Rev. Earl Graham Jr. had been charged with disturbing the peace. Nashville, Tenn., scene of racial strife in past months, was a pic ture of tranquility Wednesday as small groups of Negroes were sferved quietly and without fan fare at six formerly white down town lunch counters.
