To Lower Racial Barrier LEXINGTON, Va. (AP) -Washington Lee University President Fred C. Cole announced today the university will 'ower its racial barriers tar admitting students. The decision was made last summer by the board of trustees, but was not announced until today. The trustees' action came in the form of a statement to the faculty that admissions policies were at the discretion of the professors, who reportedly had favored integration previously.

Cole said, "The board of trustees has no cause to doubt the appropriateness of this delegation of authority to the faculty, and has no cause to doubt the collective wisdom of the faculty in discharging the concomitant responsibility." There are no applications from Negroes now being considered by the committee on admissions. So far none has made thorough inquiries to the admissions officer for 1965-66. Cole said last year that no Negro had ever completed an application for WH University Scars Left By Newly Strike Which CIVIL RIGHTS story vill GOLDWATER toll when he comes to South Carolina THIS IS WHAT HE'S TELLING IN THE NORTH I The South Carolina Republican party Is trying to paint its candidate Barry Gold water as a friend of the South on Civil Rights.

from Tranquil Methodist Church Mars Target Of 2 Shots CAPE KENNEDY, Fla. (AP) Seven major launchings, including two Project Mariner spacecraft ticketed for Mars are scheduled next month at Cape Kennedy. Late in November, the space agency plans to launcn a Project Gemini capsule on a final unmanned flight to qualify it for manned missions sched uled to begin early next year. Other shots on the schedule are orbital development flights of the Centaur and Titan 3A spate rockets; the Tiros i weather satellite, and a radia tion-sensing Explorer scientific satellite. The.

first' Mariner Mars launching is set for Nov. 4. The second could be fired as early as two days later, depending on how well No. 1 fares. November marks one of the rare occasions when Mars is in position to receive an unmanned visitor from earth.

The next opportunity will be in December 1966. Each Mariner payload is to travel about 350 million miles in 8-month Journeys to Mars During 30-minute fly-bys witmn 10,000 miles of the planet, each is to snap 20 television pictures and gather scientific data. The launchings will be the most difficult attempted by unmanned U.S. spacecraft. Jack N.

James, Mariner project manager for the Space Agency's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, says there is a better than 50 per cent chance that at least one of the craft will succeed. The unmanned Gemini flight has been delayed numerous times because of technical and weather reasons. The Titan booster rocket twice was re moved from Its launch pad be cause of hurricanes, and several weeks delay resulted when the rocket was damaged by light ning. The Titan 2 Is to orooel a fully equipped spacecraft 2,000 miles down the Atlantic range to check all systems, and re-entry and recovery techniques. If the shot succeeds, astro nauts Virgil I.

Grissom and John W. Young are to take a five-hour, three-orbit trip In similar capsule early in 1965 Eventually, Gemini astronauts are to stay in space for as long as two weeks to practice proce dures for going to the moon. Both the Centaur and Titan 3 rockets are to loft dummy satellites into orbit Centaur, which is several months behind sched ule for technical reasons, being developed for landing unmanned Project Surveyor scienuiic payioads on tne moon, Titan 3A is forerunner of a Ti tan 3C rocket intended to launch a number of Air Force military space payioads, including manned laboratory the size oi a house trailer.

economy. It meant that business again can go full speed ahead. However, it is likely to be some time before GM can get back into the full swing of turn iig out automobiles. Local issues were yet to be settled at some plants and with those facilities still on strike production will be delayed. As for the strike's effects, it was estimated that it meant $7 million a day in lost wages and buying power and cost GM the production of 100,000 cars a week.

This loss of production came just at the time when new models were beginning to go to dealers. The dealers saw their supplies of new cars vanish in the face of heavy demand. They felt that many of the lost sales will never be recovered but went to other manufacturers. Ford and Chrys ler, which reached agreements with the United Auto Workers Union earlier, kept on producing. New car sales in mid-October sagged well below a year earlier totaling 164,306 against 211,980, a loss of 23 per cent.

Most of the loss was in GM sales, which fell 51 per cent to 56,106 from 113,488 a year earlier. On the other hand. Chrysler sales gained 23 per cent and Ford 12 per cent. Suppliers of materials for cars steel, rubber, glass, etc. lost business while GM was shut down.

They, too, may be slow in regaining it. The domestic automobile manufacturers' hopes of an 8-million car production year were set back, according to the Value Line Investment Survey, an investment advisory and business research organization. It estimated that the shutdowns, which closed American Motors briefly in addition to GM, choked more than 300,000 units out the record production programs scheduled for the fourth quarter of this year. Value Line's report estimated that 1965 model production will fall about 7.25 million units, about 10 per cent below the 1964 total. S.C.

Youth -ft Tells About Holdup Attempt SPARTANBURG, S.C. (AP)- A 15-year-old boy testified Tuesday about a holdup attempt that left him permanently paralyzed and an elderly storekeeper shot to death. John Richard Bishop, para lyzed from the neck down and speaking from a stretcher, said a cc-aefenoant in the murder case, Jerry Wayne Webb, 18, fired the rifle bullet which kill ed Herman Henson, 71, of Roe buck, last July 8. "I'm totally demobilized," Bishop told the Spartanburg General sessions Lourt jury. "I've been in trouble he related, "car thefts and hub caps." He said he had served four years in tne state industrial school and wanted "to come here and tell the truth no one has' made any promises to me and i haven't asked any." Bishop said Webb came to his home on the morning of July 8 and they rode around several hours discussing holdup pros pects.

He said they entered two stores with plans to hold them up but left without doing so. He said that, at Henson's rural store, Henson slammed shut the cash register drawer and told them: "Boys, you don't have to get. your this way." Bishop said Henson reached under the counter1 for a pistol and Webb shot Henson with the rifle. Bishop, was shot as he fled from the store. Webb was ar- rcsicu uw, i BT Air N.llon.l Guard, Col.
