Dowdy said Williams was sleep

taken to a Memphis hospital by
auto.
It was the first reported in
stance of violence in the long
simmering controversy that has
gripped this rural county since the
Negro league began its drive to
register Negro voters last spring.
The "tent city" is a collection
of tents erected on a Negro lead

Eight families have set up
housekeeping in the tents, so far.
Whites contend the Negroes are
being displaced by farm mechan
ization and that voter registration
has nothing to do with it. They
call "tent city" a propaganda
move by Negro groups.
The justice department recent
ly filed suit against 18 residents
and a bank charging conspiracy
to deprive Negroes of the right
to vote. A federal judge in Mem

for a temporary injunction that
would bar eviction of Negro ten
ants until the trial is held.

Appeals sitting in Cincinnati will

Hatfield Asks
Fish Confab
SALEM (AF)-Gov. Mark O. Hat
field today asked the governors
of Washington and Idaho to meet
uiih him next month to discuss
ways of increasing Columbia Kiv
pr salmon runs.
r.nvs. Albert D. Rosellini of
Washington and Robert E. Sinylie
of Idaho were asked to suggest
i;lfi-lil said the meeting in
vitation was prompted by a letter
from Idaho state Itep. C. H. Iliger
of Emrrfclt.
Hatfield answered Iliger that
there has been "an appalling di
minution of the once prolific salm
on runs of the Columbia River
,.,! nnr coastal streams," and
h,at it is time for immeaiaie anu
drastic action
Many persons concerned with
the fisheries problem nave oeen
"primarily interested in a divi
sion of the harvest rather than
conservation of the resource," he
said.
Washington should bring its fish
ing regulations "into a more real
istic position," Hatfield said. The
Oregon Resources Board wants to
prevent construction of (lams on
the Salmon River in Idaho in or
der to preserve that river as a fish
sanctuary, he added.
Hatfield said the proposed Nez
Perce Dam, which a group of
Washington public utility districts
want to build, would kill some 40
per cent of the Columbia River
salmon. This dam would block the
mouth of the Salmon Hiver, which
flows into the Snake River.
Hatfield said he supports the
proposed High Mountain Sheep
Dam, which a group of power
companies want to duiiq. jnis
dam would be just above
salmon river's mouth.

Love For Children Prompts
Building Of Atomic Shelter
By FRED MARTIN
SALEM (AP) Lloyd Woolfc
said Wednesday he built a shelter
under his house because he does
not want to watch his children
die in an atomic attack.
Woolfe. 40. chief eeoloirist for
the Oregon Highway Department,
used a pick and shovel to dig the
hole for the 1330-foot reinforced
concrete shelter. It is under his
home in Clear Lake, a tiny com
munity just north of Salem.
"I have four children," Woolfe
said. "I don't want to have to
watch them die because I spent
my weekends fishing, golfing or
watching television.
"I feel pretty strongly about
this," he said. "I think it is going
to happen."
Woolfe built the forms and
poured the concrete. He had only
the help of his 14-year-old son,
Ricky, and some from two
friends. H cost $350 for materials
and nine 500 man hours of work.

Inside there are bunks for six,
a water lank that holds 150 gal

enough powdered milk to make
50 gallons, an escape hatch and
games to play.
The door is nine inches thick
and the walls and roof are eight
inches thick. The door can be
barred from the inside.
He said this is not only for fall
out protection but to keep out
others. "I visualize great chaos,"
Woolfe said.
He said ne considered Salem a
good place for a fallout shelter
because Portland is a logical tar
get and this would bring fallout
to Salem about 50 miles south of
Portland.
"It iust made me sick when I
thought of the consequence.

Launching Pad
For Red Assault
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa
(AP) The "Rand Daily Mail"
claimed today that the storied is
land of Zanzibar, off the East
African coast, bad become a
launching pad for a Communist
assault on the African continent
backed jointly by Moscow, Pei-
ping and Prague, with an assist
from President Gamal Abdel Nas
ser's United Arab Republic.
A dispatch from Zanzibar said,
"By an ironic twist of history
Zanzibar the base from which
the great missionary drive was
launched to take Christianity into
East and Central Africa has
been chosen by communism as a
stepping stone for its assault on
ine same regions.
The dispatch said "This small
British protectorate has become
the target of a skillful and
persistent propaganda campaign
from Peiping, Moscow and Prague
substantially aided by Cairo."
The paper added pro-Communist
speeches can be heard in the
streets, and although it denies any
Communist affiliations, the Zan
zibar Nationalist party may be
communism's most effective ally
in the region.

In addition, the state's economy
