This is Alabama Racial Situation Moves Toward Crises BIRMINGHAM,' Ala. (UPD Birmingham's troubled racial sit uation moved toward the crisis stage again today with the rejec tion of Negro desegregation de mands by city officials. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and other Negro leaders had given the city two weeks to hire 25 Negro policemen and begin talks aimed at upgrading city employment of Negroes or face a resumption of racial demonstra tions. . Mayor Albert Boutwcll and the City Council Wednesday night turned down the ultimatum, pre sented in a registered letter from the Rev. Fred Shuttlcsworth. Councilman John Golden said the letter represented "a gun at our heads and I resent It."- Boutwell said "1 have never dignified any of these frantic messages and demands with a reply or answer." King and Shuttlcsworth said a massive desegregation campaign would begin in two weeks if the demands were not met. They said if the city showed signs be fore the deadline that the de mands would not be met, demon strations would begin immedi ately. King led a month-long drive here last spring that brought more than 2,300 arrests and saw racial tension reach, the boiling point. He said "bigger and more determined" protests could fol low, and threatened a huge civil rights march.

Botulism Toll Reaches Seven KNOXVILLE, Tcnn. (UPI) -Doctors sought, through the use of a rare antitoxin, today to pre vent the death toll from a sus pected outbreak of botulism from rising above seven. Ten persons were being treated in hospitals here and Nashville for the deadly food poisoning, be lieved contracted through pack aged smoked whitcfish. Nine of the patients were improved enough to be listed in .satisfactory or fair condition. But doctors at Vanderbilt Hos pital in Nashville said George Breault, 54, was "showing increas ing difficulties with his breath ing." They said he probably would be placed in a tank-type respirator. The toll from the suspected out break rose to seven Wednesday night with the announcement that a man believed to have died of cerebral . hemorrhage last Satur day at Nashville actually suc cumbed to botulism. Supplies of the rare and expen sive anti-toxin were flown here from Canada and Denmark to supplement the United States' small supply. . Medical authorities here said "we believe we have enough serum to take care of the cases we have here and there (Nash ville)" assuming there aren't many new cases. They received a partial shipment of the anti toxin serum from Denmark Wednesday the third load of the scarce formula in two days. The fish was tentatively linked to the deaths of two persons here, three in Nashville and two in Kal amazoo, Mich., in the past 11 days. Tests at the Upjohn Labiratory in Kalamazoo and the Food and Drug Administration facility in Detroit indicated type "E" botul ism was present in the deaths of the Michigan couple, Mr. and Mrs. Chester O.

LuU , Phont Missionary Approval For Married VATICAN CITY (UPI) Mis sionary bishops from Africa, Asia and Latin America today appealed strongly to the Ecumenical Coun cil for approval of a controver sial proposal to ordain married deacons in areas where there is an acute shortage of priests. "Even if you don't need deacons in your diocese, we do in ours," Negro Archbishop Bernard Yago of Abidjan, West Africa, told the council fathers. The council also heard similar pleas for restoration of the an cient New Testament order of deacons from Archbishop Jose Sutherlin Youths Get Prison Terms Irvin Melvin Essig, 21, of Wil bur, and Buster Eugene Simmons, 18, Suthcrlin, each were meted terms in the Oregon Correctional Institution on appearance before Circuit Judge Charles S.

The parade of missionary bish ops indicated strong support in mission areas for the pending proposal under which deacons would be ordained to carry on many of the functions now re served for priests, with the ex ception of hearing confession and offering Mass. The proposal had been snarply attacked earlier in this session of the council by Francis Cardinal Spellman of New York, who warned that an order of married deacons might jeopardize the tra dition of celibacy for the priest hood. A Curia cardinal, Fernando Cento, also spoke in favor of res toration of the diaconate but said deacons should be bound to celi bacy like priests. He acknowl edged this might diminish the number of men available for-deacons but said it would produce better quality.
