Kennedy orders resumption of nuclear test preparations
President Kennedy commands renewal of underground nuclear test prep in Nevada after Soviet talks on a test ban broke down. Secretary Rusk cited Moscow's notice to reopen Geneva disarmament talks February 12 as causing the shift. He addressed U.S. regrets toward Canada over a nuclear policy remark and warned that a prolonged Soviet presence in Cuba would force U.S. consideration of actions to remove troops. He stressed no misunderstanding about pulling 17,000 Soviet troops from Cuba. The press conference followed a rift with Canada over confidential exchanges.

Ole Miss Due For New Fight Over Desegregation
Jackson Mississippi AP reports the University of Mississippi again faces a desegregation battle as Dewey Greene Jr. seeks admission after James H Meredith enrolled. Greene was denied admission for not meeting entrance requirements, with attorneys planning to seek a federal court order to force admission under the Meredith ruling. Jerry Brown assists in the Greene challenge amid ongoing court orders and links to past contempt actions against the registrar. Meredith continues with two classes on Saturday but will not return until Sunday.
