Major Desegregation Crisis
Arises In Georgia As Court
Decision Favors 2 Negroes
MACON, Ga. (AP) A federal
judge's order for the immediate
admittance of two Negro students
to the University of Georgia spark
ed a minor demonstration and pre
sented the Legislature with its
gravest problem- in years.
An effigy said to represent Ham
ilton E. Holmes, 19, one of the
Negroes, was hung from an arch
at the all-white University in Ath
ens Friday night, hater a small
cross was burned in front of a hall
near a freshman dormitory.
Newsmen said only a few of the
younger students took part and
estimated the watching crowd at
150. There are 7,400 enrolled at
the university.
The gathering broke up quickly
when Dean of Men William Tate
appeared and began asking for
student identity cards. No incid
ents were reported and no arrests
made by four city policemen pres
ent. The demonstration occurred as
members of the Slate Legislature
were preparing to go to Atlanta
for the start of the 1901 session
Monday. That also is the final
day to register for the winter quar
ter at Georgia, oldest state-chartered
university in the nation.
Holmes, of Atlanta, said he want
ed to consult with his parents be
fore deciding whether he would en
roll Monday. At present he is at
tending Morehouse College in At
lanta. The other Negro student, Miss
Charlayne Alberta Hunter, 18, also
of Atlanta, said she planned to go
to Athens 'as soon as I can
probably Sunday."
Miss Hunter is studying jour
nalism at Wayne State University
in Detroit.

Biscussing the controversy over

more concerned as to whether we
even have oil.
"We don't have public funds for
exploration," he said. "We have
to depend on private companies
to do this." (

Ore. Sat., Jan. 7, 1961
ted, U.S. District Court Judge W.
A. fiootle ruled the university had
discriminated against them be
cause of their race. The decision
Friday also permanently enjoined
the institution from barring other
eligible Negro applicants.
The ruling presented legislators
of this Deep South slate with the
most serious desegregation crisis
since the U.S. Supreme Court out
lawed public school segregation in
1954,
Georgia law prohibits use of
stale lunds to operate an inte
grated college. Boolle took note
of this but said constitutionality
of that statute was not an issue
in the case of the two students
seeking admission to Georgia.
The Legislature also has to de
cide what to do about maintain
ing a public school system in the
face of a federal court order re
quiring desegregation of Atlanta
punlic schools in Sentembcr. Pres
ent law also cuts off funds for
public schools that are ordered in
tegrated..
Atty. Gen. Eugene Cook said an
appeal would be filed in the Rootle
ruling. But in order to prevent lm
mediate entrance of the Negroes
to the university the state also
would nave to obtain an order stay
ing the judge's ruling pending a
decision by the U.S. Circuit Court
of Appeals.
Comment on the judge's decision
ranged all the way from opposi
tion to closing the university un
der any circumstances to a state
ment by segregationist Roy Har
ris of Augusta" that he would "go
to jail and stay until I rot" rath
er than "help the federal courts
take over and run the schools of
this stale."
I spends $1 million on exploration
then the stale has an obligation
to that oil company. But, the gov
ernor added, the law must spell
out public protection even if that
oil company gets the lease.
Once oil is found in Oregon,
Hatfield said, "we can be more
demanding."
The key problem facing the
Oregon Legislature, he said, is
whether it will permit the exten
sion of oil pipelines over the
development.
As chairman of the stale Land
Bourd, which would handle any
offshore oil leasing, Hatfield said
he was in agreement with the
fundamental principles expressed
by Francis J. Horlig.
Hortig, executive officer of the
California Lands Commission,
said that Oregon should be more
concerned with finding oil than
with over regulating it at this
point.
Secretary of stale Howell Appl
ing Jr., a former Texan, said he
had lived in an oil producing stale
25 years ani was aware that un
der proper regulation oil produc
tion and recreation can be com
pletely compatible.
"Our principle interest at this
slage of the game," Appling said,
should be to develop our natural
resources."
Stale Treasurer Howard Bellon,
Ihc third member of the board,
si id "1 have been conscious of
the fact that these modern meth
ods (of drilling) are not as ob
jectionable as they were 30 or 40
years ago."
Hatfield said modern exploration
and drilling methods will not re
sult in the destruction of Oregon's
scenic coast line.

College To Ask Money

Growing World Tensions
An Already-Confused II.
NEW YORK (AP) Growing
world tensions today complicate
an already confused domestic eco
nomic situation that has business
men guessing as to what lies
ahead. And guessing right along
with them are those who work for
them or are laid off currently.
Stock markets show their usual
nervous reaction to any threat to
peace or lo any foreshadowing of
increased defense spending. The
last time was the Suez crisis. Be
fore that it was Viet Nam. And
in 1950 it was the real thing, the
Korean War.
Business planners of lOfil's
course are now trying to fit into
it the probable effects of the blow
ups in Cuba and Laos. These could
increase demand for some prod
ucts or snarl pipelines of suppliers
of raw materials.
Trade with Cuba has dwindled
to such a trickle that breaking
off of diplomatic relations can
have but minor effect on the to
tals of imports from or exports to
that troubled island.
But the stock market Wednes
day seemed to say that the ef
fects on the domestic economy
could be important nevertheless.

get bigger defense type orders

Journalist Says Newspapers
Face Two Urgent Problems
SEATTLE (AP)-rublishers of

told this week the industry faces

25 years.

that gain defense orders.
Also most makers of military
hardware have active and thriv

which could be affecled in war
time. A glowing peacetime prosperity
is far better for the stock market
in a whole than any excitement
over world tensions.
As for Cuba itself, most Ameri
can companies doing business
there have seen their investments
seized or have lost their market;
for the time being. Many others
are getting their raw materials
elsewhere. The big import from

from other lands.
So the big impact of the Cuban

Accreditation
OfGlendale's
School Deferred
Glendale- school officials and
board members have been study
ing a report issued them by the
Northwest Accreditation Associa
tion after its meeting in Decem
ber and making plans toward
eliminating the few remaining bars
to full accreditation for the Glen
dale High School. Marlen Yoder,
in reporting to the board recently,
slated that two main areas of im
provement have been requested
by the Accreditation Board, ac
cording to Mrs. G. B. Fox, News
Review correspondent.
The first is based upon a re
quirement that all teachers on a
faculty teach only those subjects
in which they have received their
major academic training., Yoder
stated that in a small school it is
often difficult to so distribute the
load that faculty members are not
carrying some classes in divisions
other than those of their major
preparation. However, he said he
believes that the hiring of one or
more teachers should make it pos
sible for each to be assigned only
those subjects in which he or she
has had thorough preparation.
A second recommendation made
by the accreditation board has lo
do with the need for a more com
plete student guidance program.
Yoder stated that the school board,
in laying its plans for next year,
expects to be able to come up to
this standard, as requested in the
Northwest Board report.
The Glendale school system may
now, or wilhin a five-year period,
make a new application to the
Accreditation Board for its ap
proval whenever the recommend
ed improvements have been made.
11 will not be necessary, within
that period, to request a survey
of the school, as it was last year,
by a visitation committee.

Robber Loots
Graves Of Two
To Get Jewelry
JACKSONVILLE, Ark. (AP)
Police today grimly began search
ing this central Arkansas area for
the body of a girl stolen from a
cemetery by someone who also
footed another grave.
Police Chief Myron Traylor said
the body was found missing from
its grave in Bayou Meto Cemetery
Friday, and probably was stolen
about a week ago. He would not
release the name of the girl at
the request of the family.
- Traylor said a gravve robber
look $300 worth of jewelry from
the body of a woman of 28
Wednesday night and tried to pull
the body out of the casket but
failed.
"We have all kinds of theories
on this," Traylor said, "but it's
almost too morbid to even think
about."
The Bayou Meto Cemetery,
where the body was stolen, is
about a mile from Chapel Hill
Memorial Park, where the grave
robbery took place Wednesday
night. Traylor said the robber ap
parently tried to pull the body of
Alma Summers, who died last
Nov. 13, from its casket by tying
ropes lo the wrists and attaching
the other end of the rope to a
car.
The family of the girl, 17, said
she died about a year ago and
was buried wearing a wrist watch,
a diamond .engagement ring and
a school class ring. A necklace,
engagement and wedding rings
and a wrist watch were reported
stolen from the body of Mrs.
Summers.

For Glendale
School Proposed
The Glendale School Board met
this week at the high school. Dur

ary Principal Elbert Brock gave
a report concerning "the possibility
of reorganizing the seventh and
eighth and possibly the sixth
grades of the school systems into
a Junior High department. The
teachers are now working on the
proposal, and if the plan can be
worked out, they believe it will
provide better education for the
youngsters. It may be possible to
put the plan into operation, it was
stated, during the 1961-62 school
year, according to Mrs. G. B. Fox,
News-Review correspondent.
Approves Plan
Supt. Marlen Yoder presented a
plan for the starting of the "Stu
dent Responsibility" . high school
which the board is interested in
seeing developed. The board ap
proved the limited plan proposed,
and gave Yoder permission to pro
ceed with the idea which will first
entail meeting with the high school
student council and getting its ap
proval and cooperation. The major
idea behind the whole program,
according to Superintendent Yoder
"is getting the student to accept
more of the responsibility for his
own education. The facilities and
the teachers are here for his edu
cation and it is really up to him
and to his parents to what extent he
uses them."
Budget Work
The 1961 Teacher Salary Sched

there were no objections to it ex
pressed by the teachers. Further
discussion was held concerning
the general school insurance and
the matter was tabled until such
time as Rodney Swanson is able
to do further checking into some
data concerning the insurance. The
board decided to work on next
