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.

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

"The students are very excited
and very appreciative of what the
President did," said Mrs. Eliza

dumbfounded by all the notoriety

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.

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.

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.

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.
Forest Service
Recreation Meeting
Forest Service personnel who

Officials said purpose of the ses

exchange ideas on recreation man
agement problems peculiar to the

Discussion centered on planning
for improvement of forest recrea

public need.
Norwood Robertshaw, recreation
staff assistant, planned and coor

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

Dist. Atty. Avery W. Thompson,

forth and specify their claims to
money tendered into court for de

The district attorney states he

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. Mrs.
Wood and Daviscs maintain the
money was not forfeited and be
