Birmingham Race Situation Seems More Relaxed Today By Uniltd Prss International A federal court in Birmingham Ala., today was asked to issu an injunction blocking Gov. George Wallace from carrying out nil vow to "stand in the school house door" when two Negroes enter the University of Alabama June 10. Att. Gen. Robert t . Kennedy an nounced In Washington that an immediate court test was desired on Wallace's announced position of "legal resistance and legal dcfl ance" of foderal court orders to admit the two Negroes. Federal Judge Saymour H. T.ynn set a hearing for June 3 to show cause why the injunction sought by the government should not be Issued. The federal complaint asked for both preliminary and permanent injunctions preventing Wallace, his agents, employes, subordinates or successors from interfering with the enrollment and attendance of qualified Negroes at the Univer ity. This would include not only Viv lan Malooe and David McGlath- ery, who are scheduled to start the summer term next month, but any quannea Negro student. In Montgomery, Ala., Wallace had no immediate comment. Birmingham itself was quiet with Negro leaders voicing some skep ticism as they waited for some "direct progress" in race rela tions. Mayor Albert Boutwell and a nine-man ctiy council Thursday assumed control of governmental operations in Birmingham, re placing a hard-corn segregation ist hoard of three commissioners. Each group had claimed to be the legal government of Birming ham following a change-of-gov-ernment election In April. The Alabama Supreme Court Thursday ousted the commission ers who had refused (o relinquish office because of an apparent conflict in election laws. The new city council immediately called upon Birmingham citizens for support and pledged to maintain order and work for solutions to Birmlngham'a rscial problems. Students To Enjoy Banquet After All WASHINGTON (UPI) - Presi dent Kennedy will see to It that aludents at the John Burroughs llltfh Kehnnl in Itii-h-iil. : n.ltf f"i u u i n , v n 1 1 1 get their senior prom the night of June 7 at the Beverly Hilton Ho. tel in Los Angeles after all.

' He learned Wednesday that 600 students were upset because the prom they had scheduled for the ballroom had been bumped by the President's birthday fund-raising dinner, to be bcld in the same room. Press Secretary Pierre Salinger told reporters that when Kennedy heard about the row he called California Democratic State Chair man Eugene Wyman and told him to work out another arrangement. Wyman arranged for the high school students to have the ball room and the Democrats would hold their dniner in the starlight and cscoffler rooms at the hotel. "Two rooms at the price of one," quipped Salinger. He added that "we hope the kids have a good time." "The students are very excited and very appreciative of what the President did," said Mrs. Eliza beth Hill, student body advisor at the Burbank school. "We were dumbfounded by all the notoriety tho matter got, but we were sure all along it was just a misunder standing." - Compromise Secured Today On Portioning Legislature SALEM (VPD A compromise on legislative apportionment was accepted unanimously today at a less than friendly meeting of the Senate Committee on Constitution al Revision. - The action gave a new constitu tion a new chance of getting lo the voters next year. ' The compromise grew out of firoposals tossed out this morning ly Sen. Anthony Ylurri, HOn tario, whose plan has been in the new document, and .Sen. Glen Startler, D Eugene. one of eight who fought the "Ylurri" plan. The eight blocked the document on the Senate floor because Ihcy said it "mandated" a preference fur the least populated counties. The essential feature of the compromise was that it retained the Ylurri plan, but gave the leg islatur mor discretion in groun-lnied ing sparsely - populated counties I Sen. Thomas Mahoney. D Port and thus deciding how many seats: land, said th eight senators were they should get. I being too "rigid." Sladler replied The plan makes sizes of the j they considered apportionment a .House flexible up to 65 and 3S matter of basic principle, members. Willner and Stadler Thursday The compromise also provided that, Instead of using 130 and 1-60 to determine the population unit for seat, the current mem bership of the House and Senate would be used. If membership of the houses increase, this would make the population requirement for a legislator slightly lower. Plan Outlined Th plan would grant a legls lator for each full unit, for major fractions (more than half a unit) landing alone, and for counties combined Into districts to qualify. Then, rtiylnint; m m b r 1 Boutwell said the new govern ments attitude "will be sympa thetic to harmonious solution to all problems. . ." Negro leader Martin Luther King Jr. said he was encouraged by Boutwell s statement and a ton King aide, the Rev. F. 1.. Shuttle sworth, said Negroes "look to the Boutwell ad ministration for direct progress in the area of race relations." March Through Greensboro More than 1,400 Negroes marched through Greensboro Thursday night in , the 12th straight day of anti-segregation demonstrations: A band of about 75 white youths staged a counter march, chanting "we don't want to Integrate." Police followed the groups to prevent mass' violence. Three Negro couples, carrying overnight bags, were refused ad mittance to a downtown Greens boro hotel and were arrested when they blocked the doorway. Several other Negroes were ar rested at another segregated ho tel. It was the first time that Ne groes have tried to desegregate hotels in demonstrations that largely have been directed at cafeterias and theaters. Integration leadera at Jackson made tentative plans for a series of "massive and Intensive" dem onstrations, ' possibly beginning Saturday. Negroes said city offi cials could prevent such demon strations by. agreeing to meet with Negroes to work out racial problems. Mayor Allen Thomp son earlier had agreed lo discuss Issues with Negroes but disagreed with Integration leaders over the makeup of such a negotiating committee. Thompson said Thurs day that Jackson "will be ready for anything that comes." He promised to prevent violence. Lesion Picks Sit There were these other devel opments: The American Legion deemed Thursday on Miami Beach for its 1963 national convention In Sep tember. The Legion originally planned to meet in New Orleans but abandoned that site because of the city's segregation prac tices. The Charlotte. N.C.. Chamber of Commerce called on businesses to desegregate their facilities be cause "this is the right thing to do."

As a sidelight, Yturrl said he envisioned apportioning the legis lature under the new plan In 1965,! although the constitution does not I require il until 1071. This would j probably revise membership fig- urrs as a basis for the 1971 ap portion inent. Some sharp remarks were ex changed at a meeting. Chairman Walter Pearson, D Portland, sug-, gested Willner intended to oppose , any plan but his own. Willner de-1 it. offered a compromise, but It was voted down today 71. A compro mise offered Wednesday by for mer Gov. Charles Sprague was dropped, although some of its fea ture were similar to the plan now adopted.

Decent Literature Speaker Appears At Lion's Meeting A community plan of organiza tion aimed at making objection able and obscene literature un available to the adolescent child was discussed in a talk by Ray Martin before the Roseburg Lions Club Thursday night. Martin is state chairman of the Knights of Columbus decent liter ature campaign, which has been making a study of magazines, available to youths, as well as adults, on magazine racks. He stressed very strongly that the campaign should not be one of dictation, that there should be no slap at adults or at the stores who handle the literature, but that the effort should be well organized lo encourage the elimination of such magazines from the view of young people. He advised the formation of a local committee. He atressed that there should be no city official on the committee, wherein it might be used for political purpose, nor which might give it a "dci good er" label, Martin said the effort should be from the lay citizens and parents. He showed pictures of the type of objectionable material available and had on display some of the magazines which may be obtained locally. As an added program feature, Harold Schmcor talked on the Free dom Bond Drive. Ha stressed that he does not condone excessive gov ernment expenditures, but said the money has to be raised to cover expenditures authorized by con gress. He reviewed the nation's pres ent economy, quoting figures on government obligations and nation al income. He emphasized also that money saved through pur chase of bonds is money that prob ably would be spent by Individuals and would not otherwise be saved.

Since the district has no tax base, Crippling Cold Grips Northeast By Uniltd Press International A criDDling cold snap shattered low temperature records across the northeastern portion of the na tion today and threatened to wipe out millions of dollars worth of tender fruit and vegetable crops. State police said farmers at Erie Pa., were "burning every thing they could get their hands on" in a frantic effort to ward off damage to lush groves of grapes, peaches, apples and cherries. The president of one of the four largest wineries in central New York said the skidding tempera tures may wipe out the $100 mil lion grape crop. "There's nothing we can do," he said. Temperatures tumbled to 26 de grees at Olcan and Stewart Air Force Base, 27 at Elmira, 28 at Utica, and 29 at Poughkeepsie, all in New York. New York City set an all-time low record for the date with a 39-degree reading. Albany, N.Y., had a 31-degree reading, breaking the previous record low of 33. The mercury fell to 30 degrees at Pittsburgh, Pa., breaking the record for the date by two de grees. Some areas in Pennsyl vania recorded 26-degree readings.

Norman York explained. No Incrtas Reflected No increase is reflected in the district's total budget, although the slate required legal language ap pearing on the ballot is misleading in this regard, York noted. It was pointed out further that due to increases in revenue from sources other than taxation and a hike in the district's assessed val uation, patrons will be benefiting from a millage decrease. Assessed valuation has been increased by the addition of the new retirement home, it was noted. The budget total is $600 less than expenditures programmed for the present budget year. Budget pro posals at Canyonville have been within the same general range for the past four years. Cash Ustd The millage fluctuation for the present year came about as result of budget committee action in $961-62. In that year the committee used cash on hand to force a low ering of millage for the district to compensate for increased costs in other areas of local government. This led to an increase for the 1962-63 period, the superintendent explained. School officials emphasized that the budget committee consists of school board members and free holders who are also taxpayers of the district and "have the interest of taxpayers at heart." , In face, a large amount of the district's total assessed valuation is represented in the budget com mittee's mcmb"rship. Attend Urged School officia.., urge residents to present their views on the dis trict's planned expenditures at the hearing. It was noted that about five persons attended the initial hearing this year. Lack of response at budget hear ings leads committee and school board members lo the conclusion that patrons support their program of expenditures, officials pointed out. Charge Dismissed Against Oaklander A criminal charge of disposilion of funds received by a broker against Mary K. Forstcr, 52, Oak land, has been dismissed by Cir cuit Court Jud,;e Charles S. Wood rich on motion of the district at torney. Mrs. Forster had been scheduled for trial this week. Dist. Atty. Avery W.

The district attorney states he has in his custory SI. 265 delivered lo him by Mrs. Forster. He stales the funds were entrusted to her in her capacity as a real estate brok er, arising out of a transaction wherein Amy Wood was purchaser and the Daviscs sellers of real property. Mrs. Forstcr maintains that by virtue of the contractual relation ship between the other defendants, r the money was forfeited and that she is entitled to the money.
