gers. Johnson also is still considering"
possible action against two Ku
Klux Klan organizations.
Earlier, Birmingham police and
one Klan group were dismissed as
defendants in the government's
complaint, which grew out of vio
lence which greeted a group ot
biracial Freedom Riders in An
niston, Birmingham and Montgom
ery. Greyhound Supt. George E. Cru
ilt of Birmingham testified about
a telephone call he received from
the President's brother after reg
ular drivers refused to drive the
bus from Birmingham to Montgom
ery, saying they feared for their
safety!
Cruitt said the attorney general
asked him if he couldn't get some
one else to drive the bus, or drive
it himself. Then, he continued, Ken
nedy suggested he get a Negro
driver if the regular white drivers
wouldn't move it.
After he told Kennedy no Negro
drivers were available, the bus
official said, Kenney commented:
"Well, hell, you can look for one,
can't you?"
Several regular schedules were
canceled before a Greyhound driv
er finally brought the bus to Mont
gomery. The Freedom Riders were at
tacked at the Montgomery bus
station by a jeering mob of white
persons and about 20 persons were
injured during the rioting.

mosity toward logging trucks on
the highway. An all-woman jury
was selected after the only man
on the jury was excused on a pre'
emptory challenge by the state,
The husbands of two of (he women
jurors operate logging trucks.
Deputy District Attorney Verden
Hockett called a single witness,
the weighmaslcr, John Allen Hin
akcr. He testified the gross weight
of Franco's truck was 89,200
pounds.
Franco attempted to point out
that the overweight was on the
trailer only, and not on the truck
as a whole. ,
The case was recessed when
Franco's witness, A. D. Fox, the
logger who cut the tree, was not in
the court room, and an attempt
was being made to find him.
The massive log in question has
been taken to the Fairgrounds for
display purposes.

Iran's Government
To Distribute Land
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) -Iran's
new reform government plans to
let the country's big landowners
each keep only 8G4.5 acres of irri
gated land or 1.729 acres of drv

be forced to sell the rest of their
holdings for treasury bonds. The
land will be distributed among the
country's 1.6 million peasants.
Land redistribution is one nf
Iran's gravest' economic needs.
The hig landholders have refused
to follow the example of the shah.
who has been parceling out royal
estates to tenant farmers , who
have been kept in dire poverty by
having to give most of their crops
to landlords.
In Tehran, about 200 soldiers
and policemen occupied the tele
graph office early today and
forced out 300 operators on strike
for higher pay. The strikers had
ignored an order from Premier
Ali Amini to return to work while
he studied their demands.
The strikers charged the occu
pying soldiers and police wounded
several with bayonets and clubs
and arrested between 30 and 40.
A government spokesman denied
that weapons had been used or
that anyone had been hurt.
The strikers had occupied the
main telegraph olfice since they
quit work Tuesday.
