Supreme Court Has Removed Sling

WASHINGTON d'PI) The Su-! not storekeepers were actually to : cordanee with the time-honored

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.

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.

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.

New Return Route
Planned By Fliers
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (UPI)
Two Swedes who conquered the
polar route on a nonstop flight
from Bodoe, Norway, to Alaska
in a single - engined small plane
planned to return today, but by a
different route.
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

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.
