Wild Disorder As He Talks UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. How Police Probe Will Be Carried Out By Robert H. Spiegel City officials have outlined over whether the letter should be published in full. Some city officials and police officers felt it would help head off misinformation and distorted versions of the letter.

Others wanted it withheld, stating the situation already "had received too much attention." Decision There was misunderstanding, apparently, over which side should be permitted to release the letter. At first, city officials said they had left it strictly up to Biddle. The association president, however, said he was bound not to make a release and "tossed it back to city hall." The final decision to with hold the letter was made by Hopkins, who said he didn't want to be at odds with the police association over it. Hopkins and Police Chief Howard Eide have been the city's investigators, charged by City Manager Elder Gun-ter with obtaining evidence for any disciplinary action that might be required. Gunter has emphasized that any criminal court action is up to Polk County Attorney Harry Perkins, jr.

Perkins said Wednesday that the case has not been submitted to the January-term grand jury, noting it will be discharged in "about two weeks." He said it is not felt, at given the chance to confront Brightman before he was taken to the state men's reformatory at Anamosa last week, shortly after signing the statement. Others said they felt Brightman, too, should have been given a lie test. Discharged It was pointed out, however, that Brightman was discharged from the police force last fail and that cily officials no longer had any power over him. Patrolman James Biddle, association president, declined comment on the meeting or the letter. He said the association had agreed there would be no public statement.

There was disagreement lie test will be considered an indication of guilt. Ruling The officers were advised, as well, that consideration will be given a California court ruling which said that refusal of a police officer to take a lie test is sufficient grounds for discharging him from the force. The rule has not been tested in Iowa. It was reported that reaction to the letter, written by Assistant City Attorney Ter-rence Hopkins, was mixed at the police assocation meeting, held behind closed doors in a third-floor meeting room at the police station. Some officers asked why those accused hadn't been in the statement by Bright-man, the former policeman now serving a 10-year prison sentence for larceny, will be called in by city officials and confronted with the portion of the Brightman statement referring specifically to him.

At that time, the officer concerned will be given an opportunity to resign. If he chooses not to resign, he will be given a chance to make a statement of his own. If that statement conflicts with the one made by Bright-man, the officer will be asked to submit to a lie detector test. It was brought out in the letter that refusal to take the present, that a special grand jury should be impaneled to investigate the charges made by Brightman. Appeals Dropped The police case broke last September when Richard G.

Long, a confessed burglar, named Brightman and two other policemen Richard L. Elwell and Melvin A. Nico-demus as accomplices in a series of burglaries. All three were discharged from the police force, but no criminal charges have been filed against Elwell and Nico-demus. Elwell and Nicodemus appealed their discharges to the civil service commission, but later withdrew the appeals and resigned.

the procedure to be followed in the investigation of charges by Martin B. Brightman, that 25 Des Moines police officers have been involved in burglaries or other misdeeds. The steps were outlined in a three-page letter submitted Tuesday night to 145 mem bers of the Des Moines Police Bureau and Protective Association. Contents of the letter were not released by the association or the city. To Be Called In It was learned, however, that the letter set forth the following procedure: Each police officer named AIRLINER FALLS IN FLAMES AT BRUSSELS Americans Crash 49 DO Out UoSo kate Team Wiped.

Ambassador Adlai E. Stevenson Wednesday denounced the Soviet Union's latest Congo move as a "declaration of war against the United Nations." The United States, he told the U. N. security council, does not intend to stand by idly while others cause trouble in the Congo. Stevenson spoke out firmly against a Soviet resolution calling for withdrawal of U.

N. forces from the Congo within one month. The Russians also demand dismissal of U. N. Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold.

The security council, Stevenson said, must rally its strength behind Hammarskjold to prevent any weakening of the U. N. role in the Congo. Stevenson's address to a tense meeting of the security council was disrupted by a wild public demonstration, the worst in the 16-year history of the world organization. The meetins was suspend ed for the 15 minutes needed to clear the public gallery and restore order.

Soviet Delegate Valerian A. Zorin, replying later to Stevenson speech, said he failed to find in Stevenson's speech any indication that the Kennedy administration has changed the U. S. attitude on the Congo. "Vive Lumumba" President Kennedy, Zorin said, seemed to be following the policies that had brought ADLAI STEVENSON His speech interrupted about dire consequences in the strife-torn African country.

The demonstrators, about 10 American Negro men supporters of slain Congolese leader Patrice Lumumba forced their way into the crowded gallery through a back door and interrupted Stevenson's speech with shouts of "Vive Lumumba." The Negroes ran down the aisles shouting, then resisted when guards headed them off. Three or four fights broke out. Others in the gallery, men and women, white and Negro alike, took up the cries. Don't Shoot" The wife of an African diplomat joined in. A Negro woman screamed at a guard, "leave that black man alone." The council president, Sir Patrick Dean of Britain, first declared the meeting suspended and then, a little later, ordered the gallery cleared.

The fighting spilled out into the third floor corridor outside the entrance to the gallery. "Don't shoot me," one demonstrator shouted as he U. N.

The Iowa senate, by a vote of 30 to 15, approved a bill making the name change and sent it to the governor.

The house already had passed the bill. Some senators spoke out against the name change. "Teacher Need" "By passing this bill we are taking away one of Iowa's greats," said Senator Irving Long Manchester). He said Iowa's teachers college was one of the outstanding ones in the nation. "We were told last night by an educational group of the need of teachers," said Senator John Walker Williams).

"Won't we be contributing to the shortage by passing this bill?" Senator Lawrence Putney Gladbrook) said there had been a trend away from the name of teachers college and that professors preferred not to be associated with it. He said that few institutions known as teachers colleges were left and that they were small ones. The 1959 legislature re named another state school Iowa State University, at Ames. Technically, its new name is Iowa State University of Science and Technology. It formerly was identified as Iowa State Co'lr- and its former official name was Iowa State College of Agriculture and Mechanical Arts.

Patrolman Robert Webb told Municipal Judge Harry B. Grund that as he was ticketing Crabtree's car parked in front of his home, Crabtree came running out of the house in his stocking feet and started cursing.

"You seem to think you deserve preferred treatment in that you have neglected to have your car tested, so I am going to give you preferred treatment by fining you $25 instead of the usual $1," Grund told Crabtree. Crabtree went to jail for about an hour until relatives appeared with a pair of shoes for him and $25 to pay the fine.
