LONDON (AP)—A mighty up-
roar rose in Britain on Saturday
against the nuclear deal Prime
Minister Harold Macmillan made
with President Kennedy at the
Bahamas conference
A Labor party leader called it
utter failure, the Liberal party
chief said it exposed Britain's nu-
clear deterrent as a myth, and
newspaper headlines screamed at
Macmillan's acceptance of Kenne-
dy's plan.
While Macmillan's Cabinet —
meeting here without him but
with his guidance—approved the
plan, it appeared that many of
his fellow Conservative party
members would dissent
“The Sell-out," screamed the
Daily Express-circulation nearly
five million—across eight front-
page columns.
“Macmillan's Surrender," said
the Labor party organ Daily Her-
ald in a front-page banner.
NEW ORLEANS (AP) - The
Justice Department asked a fed-
eral appeals court Friday to hold
Mississippi Gov. Ross Barnett and
Lt. Gov. Paul B. Johnson Jr. in
criminal contempt for blocking
enrollment of Negro James H.
At Jackson, Miss . Barnett and
Johnson both declined comment
on the development.
The Justice Department appli-
cation was signed by U.S. Atty
Gen. Robert F. Kennedy, Asst
Atty. Gen. Burke Marshall and
Meredith, at the University of John Doar, an attorney for the
Mississippi last September. ,
The appeals court ordered the
Justice Department to do this.
If the Sth U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals holds them in criminal
contempt, it could mean jail
terms and large fines for the gov-
ernor and lieutenant governor.
Penalties are almost unlimited
—at the discretion of the judges—
in some contempt cases.
The court decides whether the
defendants get a jury trial.
