Television in review Reviewer notes of Negroes on By Rick Du Brow UPI Staff Wrlt.r HOLLYWOOD (UPI) - The day-to-day effects of desegrega tion pressures on television are obvious to anyone who tuned In two series, "Mr. Novak" and "The Fugitive," Tuesday night, or who watches another show, "The Eleventh Hour," tonight. Negroes were cast In key roles with whites in each epi sode. And these are only three programs out of a steadily in creasing number. NBC - TV's "Mr. Novak," which has a high school setting, dealt with a female Negro stu dent who is pelted with garbage by other youngsters on her way home from classes. The inci dent threatens to explode into racial trouble at the school. But the principal, played by Dean Jagger who Is the only thing the series has to offer on a week to week basis finds out that just a handful of students Is involved, and averts a flare- up. ABC-TV's "The Fugitive" was also a Negro-white story Tues day night, and there were sev eral notable points. First, the star of the series, David Jans sen held a job as a "cut man" a medico to a Negro boxer, the other central figure. Anyone who watches old movies on tel evision will note that, amost al ways In the old days, Negro boxing employes usually assist edor worked for white pugil ists, not the other way around. Also of note in the show, there was a mixed social party of Negroes and whites. And a Ne gro turned out to he the villain, which was a healthy sign of dramatics that let the chips fall Impartially. And tonight, on NBC - TV's "The Eleventh Hour," Negro actress Diahann Carroll por trays a nurse who tries to rehabilitate a young man (Rob ert Wagner) who loses his will to live when he is disfigured In a gasoline explosion.

Power poo! plan supported SPOKANE (UPI)-Northwest members of the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NHECA) Tuesday endorsed a proposal for a nationwide power pool. The proposed pool, similar to the one In operation in the Northwest, was described as of potential benefit to "all utilities private, public and cooper ativewithout destroying their identity." The resolution was one of a number adopted by a record 36!i delegates from Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah and Washington to the regional meeting of the NRECA. The group chose Anchorage, Alaska, as the site of next year's convention, which will be held Sept. 3-4. In the power pool resolution, the delegates approved the pro posed federal high voltage inter tie between the Northwest and California and another between McNary Dam and Southeastern Idaho. The regional group also called on President Kennedy to con vene a White House conference on energy resources to focus public attention on the nation s electrical sources and policies. It endorsed the Rampart, Bums Creek, Penny Cliffs, Gar den Valley and Teton dam proj ects and comprehensive devel opment of the Upper Missouri River. It also said it was "strongly in favor" of develop ment of the Middle Snake by public agencies. In another resolution it asked that the Montana preference clause in the Hungry Horse Act be amended to make benefits from that project applicable to all rural electric systems in Montana. Other resolutions urged con tinuation of adequate federal loan funds, low interest rates and territorial protection for REA cooperatives. Onlv two new directors were named by the delegates. They were Burton Carver, Homer, Alaska, who will serve as ex ecutive committeeman for Re gion 9, and Philip Barker, Las Vegas, Nev. Trial of Evans is postponed PORTLAND (UPI) The first degree murder trial of Robert Evans, 27, Honolulu, was postponed Tuesday to be gin in Circuit Court here Dec. 2. Evans' attorney, Stephen King, asked for the postpone ment. The request was made be cause the accused slayer's 75- year-old father, Jack Evans who lives In Hawaii, broke his hip in a fall and will be hos pitalized for about a month. Evans Is charged with the strangulation death of M r s. Irene Davis, a 41-year-old vealthy heiress from Payette, Idaho. Her body was found in a room at the Portland Hilton Hotel Aug. 5. Evans later was arrested at Fremont, Neb. now to win contests WASHINGTON (UPI)-High-ly placed Republicans now class Sen. Barry Goldwater of Arizona as the favorite to win crucial presidential primary contests in New Hampshire and California. In both states, Goldwater is expected to collide with Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller of New York. The New Hampshire pri mary March 10 is the nation's first. California will close out the presidential primary season June 2, six weeks before the GOP National Convention. New Hampshire is regarded as a critical test for Rockefel ler, who needs to make a good showing there to stay alive as a candidate for the presidential nomination. But while Goldwater is rated the favorite, uncommitted Re publicans believe that the small state is territory well adapted to the intensive campaign the New Yorker is expected to con duct. Neither Announced Candidates Although neither Goldwater nor Rockefeller is an announced candidate, both are viewed as active contenders for the nom ination. An early announcement is expected from Rockefeller. Goldwater presumably passed the point of no return when he set up a committee headed by former Sen. William F. Knowl and to advise him whether to enter the California primary. An adverse recommendation is deemed inconceivable. Other Republican wheels have enlisted in the Rockefeller campaign, but none has the stature of Knowland, former Republican leader of the U.S. Senate. GOP analylsts now visualize a convention needing more than two ballots to nominate a presidential candidate. But they also concede that Goldwater could win on the first ballot after a string of primary vic tories comparable to those won by President Kennedy in 1960. Favorite Sons Developing Favorite son movements are developing for such Republican leaders as Govs. William W. Scranton of Pennsylvania, George Romney of Michigan and James A. Rhodes of Ohio, and Rep. John W. Byrnes of Wisconsin. If no active candidate has a commanding lead by conven tion time, these favorite son delegations could deadlock the convention and create a de mand for a compromise candi date. Richard M. Nixon, the 1960 nominee, is regarded as an available but inactive possibil ity in case of a stalemate. He could be thrust into the Oregon primary May 18 against his will if the Oregon secretary of state feels Nixon is "recognized in national news media" as a candidate for the nomination. Hatfield urges profit sharing LOS ANGELES (UPI) - Gov. Mark Hatfield of Oregon Tues day night told the Council of Profit Sharing Industries that profit sharing by companies will help employes morale and at titude toward tree enterprise. Hatfield said it is the duty of industry to help labor in every way possible, especially now that there is more leisure time and automation facing the labor force. Hatfield also placed the res ponsibility of education on the shoulders of industry. "T h e role of education is tied to the future of business, and a skilled and educated labor force is a great asset to industry," he said. "Today it Is not just the responsibility of educators, but providing education is the re sponsibility of everyone, es pecially the business world." Turnina to automation, Hat field said he had no solution to the problem, but believes business lenders must pool to gether to solve it. Hatfield said he believes that within the next decade the work week will be down to 25 hours.

Negro protest keeps thousands of youngsters from school in Chicago By Al Kuettner UPI Staff Writer The temperature in Chicago Tuesday was in the balmy six ties, perfect sunshiny autumn weather for playing hookey from school. On such a day, integration leaders exploded a massive city-wide "freedom day" protest against alleged de facto segre gation and their controversial school superintendent, Dr. Ben jamin C. Willis. Although many youngsters simply took the day off, others went all out for the integration project. To substitute for regular schools, promoters of the pro test established 144 "freedom schools" throughout Chicago. Negroes attended "classes" in churches, civic centers and other buildings and were taught some lessons they normally don't get in regular schools. They were given "diplomas" at the end of the day. Credit Is Questionable Whether Chicago school offi cials would give credit for the day's "work" was in question. State law requires that children go to a school but doesn't say it nas to oe an acceptable one. A school operated by the Black Muslims in Chicago has been a going concern for some time. 13 C$1 V5 4 . 3' i 1 A Negro children from 6 to 18 piled into the "freedom schools." Back at city hall, tod dlers as young as two years of age were on hand. The "freedom school" pupils were given instruction from a 20-page "Guide for Freedom School Leaders" prepared by a group calling itself Teachers for Integrated Schools. The in struction book was broken down into age levels. For first, second and third graders (age 6-7-8), the instruc tions to the teachers went like this: "What days do we go to school?" teacher asks class. "And what do we call our school today? (Freedom school)." "Write the word freedom on CITES HIGHWAY SYSTEM WASHINGTON (UPI) - The Bureau of Public Roads today credits the nation's interstate highway system with saving 6,000 lives a year, largely be cause of its limited intersec tions.

Intermediate Lessons The lesson plan for the inter mediate grades included: "Recitation of the Pledge of LaPine Acres in receivership PORTLAND (UPI) The Securities and Exchange Com mission Monday asked U.S. Dis trict Judge Gus J. Solomon to place four Oregon operations of the Charles Simmons Institute in receivership. Attorney Francis N. Mithoug contended assets of the four cor porations "are in great danger of being dissipated." The firms are LaPine Acres; University Village, Oregon, Inc.; Education Corp. of America, and Transamerica Property Corp.

" "You are helping the freedom movement by staying out of school," the teacher says. "Now, can someone think of a boycott that helped to begin the American Revolution about 170 years ago?" (Answer: Bos ton tea party) After that, the group received information about the various integration organization labels such as NAACP (National As sociation for the Advancement of Colored People), SNCC (Stu- NEW WALKIE-TALKIE WASHINGTON (UPI) The Army demonstrated Tuesday a tiny receiver and transmitter designed to replace the old seven-pound walkie-talkie radio.

Skit About Tubman There was also a skit about Harriet Tubman, identified as "the most famous conductor of the underground railroad who led over 300 slaves into free dom." For high school groups, the format was more advanced: A History of the Negro "Freedom Movement." "What do we mean when we say all people are equal regard less of race? Did the slaves like being in the United States? Why do you think freedom is better than slavery? "Can you show how the Ne gro people made their greatest advances when they themselves took action? Do you know of any cases where white people cooperated to help Negroes gain their rights? How does the achievement of full equality for Negroes help white people as well?"
