Supreme Court Has Removed Sling From South's Sit-In Prosecutions WASHINGTON d'PI) The Su-! not storekeepers were actually to : cordanee with the time-honored preme Court has momentarily re- i blame for the racial discrimina moved the sting from Southern tion. su m prosecutions, but the great Chief Justice Earl Warren held issue posed by the cases remains ; in the court's decision that local undecided. It is: Does a business establish ment open to the general public have a right to choose its own customers This blockbuster was reserved by the court at least until next term. It could be speculated that the short step the court took Monday was all it felt the country could stand in view of current racial un rest. But the truth is that no one but the nine justices know why they do things, and they aren't telling. ' Overturns Convictions The court overturned trespass and criminal mischief convictions in four lunch-counter cases on the ground that local governments- laws and edicts had deprived busi nessmen of their freedom of choice as to whom could be served on their premises. The thrust of the court's opin ion was that so long as these laws are on the books the proprietor of a store is presumed to act under them. What he would do if left to himself is beside the point at the moment, under the decision. In one case, from New Orleans, there was no local segregation ordinance. But Warren said state ments by the mayor and the po lice superintendent amounted to the same thing. Will Free Demonstrators This handling of the touchy "sit in" issue was urged on the court by the Justice Department in ac- JFK Still Backs Building Of Mountain Sheep Project WASHINGTON (UPI) - Presi dent Kennedy still supports fed eral construction of the Mountain Sheep dam in the Pacific North west, the Federal, Power Commis sion was told Monday. But an attorney for the Inter ior Department also said construc tion of dams on the middle reach of the Snake River between Idaho and Oregon should be delayed un til the problem of passing fish over high dams can be solved. Harry Hogan, assistant depart ment solicitor, said Interior Sec retary Stewart Udall had talked with Kennedy about the adminis tration stand on the project. Ho gan said he was authorized to state there had been no change in the administration's position. Kennedy promised on May 9 to take another look at the project in line with his expressed view that private industry should build the dam unless the federal gov ernment could prove federal con struction was superior. Summer Decision Likely The full commission heard oral arguments for and against eon- Fifth Of Nation's Work Force Hit By Unemployment WASHINGTON (UPI) Labor Secretary W. Willard Wilts told Congress Monday that one fifth of the nation's work force 14 mil lion persons were hit by the un employment problem last year. Wirtz testified before a Senate labor subcommittee, studying the U.S. manpower situation with spe cial attention to automation and its effect. He said monthly unem ployment figures average about 4 million, but he said these statis tics don't tell the whole story. Wirtz said "reliable estimates . . . .indicate that approximately 14 million men and women were unemployed at some time furing 1962." Commerce Secretary Luther Hodges, following Wirtz to the wit ness chair pointed up a paradox between his department and the Labor Department. Wirtz is trying to find ways to reduce unemployment. Hodges said, while the Commerce Depart ment is trying to get industry to adopt technolocigal changes that would cut down the manpower supply. The technological improvement needed to increase this nation's exports and cut its balance of trade deficit, will result in a les sening of demand for workers, Hodges said. But the effect will be short term. He said the in creased exports will boost the gross national product which in turn will "help cure unemployment." struction of the Mountain Sheep dam in a climactic all-day hear ing. The commission is expected to reach a decision sometime this summer. Most of the testimony concerned the impact of dam construction on the last remaining major salm on spawning grounds, in the Salm on River. Spokesmen for Washington, Ore gon and Montana fisheries inter ests supported the Pacific North west Power Company's contention that Mountain Sheep dam above the mouth of the Salmon would have little effect on fish runs. The Washington Public Power Supply System (WPPSS) is seek ing permission to build the Nez Perce Dam downstream from the mouth of the Salmon. Evelyn Cooper, counsel for (WPPSS) suggested Columbia Riv er fish runs were doomed in any event. She said implementation of the Columbia River treaty with Canada would reduce flows over the dams and most fingerlings would have to pass through tur bines in 10 dams. At each, she said. 8 to 10 per cent would be destroyed. Hogan, in arguing for delay, contended that "both the PN Pand WPPSS were wrong in arguing that there was a current power shortage."' On the contrary, he said, there would continue to be a surplus of power until about 1972.

Businessman Sigured Hallstrom said he and pilot Olie Ringstrand, both of Stockholm, planned to re turn by way of northern Canada and Greenland. "A change of scenery would be nice," Hallstrom said, "and there is the weather the weather is very important." Hallstrom and Ringstrand ar rived here early Monday from Norway in their Piper Comanche. Their Dight from Bodoe to Barter Island at the northeastern tip of Alaska took 21 hours and 15 minutes. Tiie trip is believed to be the first time the polar route has been flown in a single-engined private' plane. After a brief refueling stop at Barter Island the pair flew the I rest of the way south to Anchor-! age in five hours. i Their plane was underoing a maintenance check at Safeway Airways here in preparation for their departure this afternoon. On the flight to Alaska the only diffi culty the? encountered was with the craft's long range radio. Repairmen said the radio had a defective transistor. But the craft withstood the long flight oyr , the polar wastes wiinom aim culty. Hallstrom maintained the trip over the pole was "just routine." "It was a business trip," he said, "nothing out of the ordi nary." Ringstrand said the plane, spe cailly equipped with an extra 150 gallon fuel tank in the rear seat, weighed 3,800 pounds when fully fueled. principle that a major constitu tional decision is always avoid ed if a case can be disposed of on narrower grounds. As it is, the decision will free hundreds of demonstrators who took part in the 1960-61 sit-in movement in places having simi lar segregation ordinances. They have been free on bond awaiting the results of Monday's cases, which came from Greenville, S.C., Birmingham, Ala., and Durham, N.C., in addition to New Orleans. The ruling had the peculiar re sult of barring discrimination in cities where there are local ordi nances requiring segregation, and leaving the whole matter up in the air in cities which do not have such ordinances. The suggestion was made dur ing November arguments that a decision like Monday's might well result in a rush to get such ordi nances off the books. Justice Harlan Dissents Only Justice John' M. Harlan dissented from the court's reason ing in the sit-in cases. He said: Freedom of the individual to choose his associates or his neigh bors, to use and dispose of his property as he sees fit, to be irra tional, arbitrary, capricious, even uniust in his personal relations are things all entitled to a large measure of protection from gov ernmental interference." Harlan said the mere existence nf ordinances rcauiring segrega tion in public eating places did not remove the businessman from the sphere of private choice. He said it should be shown in each case whether the proprietor was motivated by the ordinance or by some Durpose of his own A case argued last fall first pin pointed the rights of the operator of a private business. It concerned five Negroes wno msisieu uu nu ino the carousel in privately oper ated Glen Echo Amusement Park in Montgomery County, ma. The court announced Monday that the case would be re-argued some time during the term start ing next October.

Ailing Pope Sets 9-Day 'Retirement' VATICAN CITY (UPI) Pope John XXIII, fatigued by a heavy round of public appearances, is cancelling private audiences for a nine-day period of "spiritual re tirement," a high Vatican source said today. The source said the Pope. 81, planned to go ahead with Wednes day's weekly general audience in St. Peter s as scheduled. Reliable sources inside the Vati can said the Pope has suffered another 'weak spell" in the last 48 hours and there' is preoccupa tion about his condition. But the high source said private audiences, including regular meet ings with aides, would be can celled beginning Friday for a sol emn novena (nine days of pray ers) leading up to the Feast of Pentecost June 2. Such a period of retirement and spiritual exercises is normal in (he pre-Christmas season, but un usual as a preparation for Pen tecost. The source said the Pope made the decision to give special sol emnity to Pentecost in this year of I lie ecumenical council. But the source also admitted that the Pope overexerted himself during long public ceremonies tins month in which he was awarded the Bulzan Peace Prize. Another reliable Vatican source said the Pope has felt "very weak in recent davs. There has been no firm indica tion whether the Pope's weakness stems from a recurrence of the illness which confined him to bed last November. The illness was officially described at the time as "gastric trouble" and severe anemia. Press reports that Uie Pope was suffering from cancer were never coniirmed or denied by tne vati can. Officials said repeatedly that they knew nothing more man was said in the only communique on the pontiff's illness in November. MAXIMUM PENALTY, LOS ANGELES (UPI) A 52- Jerry Yost. Kathleen Reed.

MONTREAL (UPI) - The Que bec government, convinced that anti-confederation terrorists are responsible for the recent wave of bombings here, took the lead today in an all-out war against the Quebec Liberation Front. Premier Jean Lesage was to meet this morning with heads of federal, provincial, local and mili tary police to map strategy for the campaign against the separa tists. The premier announced he had summoned top police officials to a special security meeting and (old newsmen the government had offered a $50,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of anyone responsible for any act of terrorism in , Quebec since April 1.

The terrorists Monday limited their activities to one explosion at .a militia engineers' armory. But they warned that more would come. In Quebec City postal employ ees found 18 sticks of unfused dynamite in mail boxes on their morning pickup. Police in the provincial capital interpreted It as a threat.
