Churchill Notes
Birthday Today
LONDON (AP) The seemingly
indestructible Sir Winston Church
ill celebrated his 86th birthday to
day with a 100-pound cake soaked
in his favorite brandy.
Habitually a late sleeper, he
had the lights on early in his
bedroom.
There was good reason for a
parade of well-wishers, postmen,
messengers and delivery boys
began ringing his doorbell as ear
ly as 6:30 a. m.
First to pull up before his Lon
don home was a uniformed post
office messenger carrying a heavy
load of birthday telegrams, many
from the United States.
A member of his household said
a greeting from President Eisen
hower was among the thousands
pouring in from all over the
world.
First indications were that this
would be a quiet birthday, for
Sir Winston is still recuperating
from I broken bone in his back
suffered in a fall IS days ago.
. But people who know him best
said that while his doctors may
hope for a quiet day, he'll prob
ably do something outrageously

New State Tax
By GEORGE CASTILLO
N.ws-R.vitw Assistant Editor
Thousands more dollars will go
on the Douglas County tax rolls
next year as the result of a state
Tax Commission decision to begin
taxing fraternal properties.
The report was made Tuesday
by county Assessor Morris Bow
ker. It came on the heels of a re
port from the state Tax Commis
sion that a ruling was being pre
pared on the subject by the Tax
Commission.
Dean Ellis, member of the
commission, said the directive by
the commission will not affect

took bis daughter to school by the
front door.
The three judges had been asked
to rule on two motions: One by
the Orleans Parish School Board
asking suspension of integration
until differences between state
and federal governments had been
resolved.
Another by the state asked
abandonment of all integration
permanently.
The iudees said: "Thoueh we
be persuaded of the school board's
good faith, there can be no ques
tion of delaying still further the
enjoyment of a constitutional right
which was solemnly pronounced
by the Supreme Court of the Unit
ed Slates more than six years
ago."
Sitting on the tribunal were
Chief Judge Richard T. Hives of
the Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Ad
peals: U.S. Disl. Judge Herbert
w. unristenoerry, and u.s. Dist.
Judge J. Skelly Wright.
Judge Wright issued the original
integration order and set Nov. 14
as the final effective date to com
ply with it.
The court also ordered a tem
porary injunction against Gov.
Jimmie H. Davis, a number of
state officials and the legislature
from interfering with the opera
tion of New Orleans public schools
by the Orleans Parish School
Board.
A temporary restraining order
has previously been issued.
The decisions were contained in
a 17-page opinion devoted mainly
to a discussion of interposition, by
which the state attempted to in
terpose its sovereignty between
the Supreme Court school decision
and the people of Louisiana.
The judges said, "the conclusion
is clear that interposition is not
a constitutional doctrine. If taken
seriously, it is illegal defiance of
constitutional authority."

CARACAS. Venezuela (AP)
Leftist students fought a gunbat
tle with troops today in defiance
of President Romulo Betancourt.
The stubborn challenge to the
authority of the moderate Social
ist president made the situation
increasingly critical for his gov
eminent. Rioting Widespread
Firing from high school build-
ings on Avenue Roosevelt has
continued sporadically since Mon
day night. It is part of widespread
rioting in the capital that has
killed 6 persons and injured at
least 105 in an attempt to touch
olf a revolution and establish a
Castro-stvle government.
louuh military crackdowns, sup-
ported by a suspension of civil
guarantees, have snuffed out most
of the rioting which began last
Friday. However, for a time Tues
day night it spread from the slum
districts of western Caracas to
the fashionable eastern end.
Near High School .
The main battle was centered
at Miguel Caro High School in
western Caracas. The school is
adjacent to Caracas University,
which officials said appeared to1
be the demonstrators' chief
stronghold.
Police have not attempted to
enter the university grounds,
where Social Christian party stu
dents backing Betancourt fought
their way into classrooms to break
a Communist student strike.
One leftist group attempted to
storm the police station nearby
but were driven back by tear gas
and armored cars of the presiden
tial euard.
Another gang of vouths tried
to burn a bus in the southern sub
urb of Chaguaramqs,, d iiitu or
ders to the army to shoot' such
firebrands on sight. The bus was
saved by firemen.
Troops Tako Positions
Troops took up positions in
Puenlc Trinidad Street, where
several newspapers are published.
The papers have advocated a
tough line in suppressing Com
munist activities. Betancourt has
charged the Communists are be
hind the rioters.
National Guardsmen earlier oc
cupied the press room of the Com
munist Trihuna Popular after the
paper issued a call for revolu
tion. During the first five days the
rioting did not spread outside
of Caracas. However, National
Guardsmen were sent to the oil
fields major source of this na
tion's wealth to protect against
possible sabotage.
The armed forces have pledged
their support to Betancourt. They
took over in 1958. a year after a
revolution ousted Gen. Marcos
Perez Jimenez, Venezuelan's mil
itary dictator.
Most previous threats to Betan
court have come from rightwing
supporters of Perez Jimenez. But
recently the cost of living has
spiraled and Venezuela's econom
ic difficulties have mounted.
