f : 0 Governor Burned in Effigy as Georgia Students Protest Policy Atlanta (U.RJ Students at Emory University and the Uni versity of Georgia, angered be cause a new segregation sports policy will hurt Georgia teams' reputations, burned Gov. Martin Griffin in effigy on two fronts late Monday night. They were the third and fourth institutions to burn the governor in effigy since Griffin asked the State Board of Regents to prevent Georgia Tech from meeting Pittsburgh, which- has a Negro player, in the Sugar Bowl. The new demonstrations broke out few hours after the regents adopted a compromise racial pol- icy that will allow Tech to play in the Sugar Bowl Jan. 2, but probably bar state -supported schools from future integration in Southern football games. There was widespread fear that the ne policy would doom poth Georgia j.d Georgia Tech, which together have been to 14 major bowl games in the past 15 years, as national football pow ers. ' Some 500 University of Georgia students, who usually save their wrath for rival Tech in sports competition, held a sympathy demonstration late Monday night on the Athens, Ga., campus and burned the gov ernor in effigy. About the same time, some 25 persons burned an effigy of the (governor on the library steps at (J.'mory University, a Methodist supported college in Atlanta, which fields no football team. Athens police took into cus tody awout 15 Georgia students as they turned their demonstra tion into a mild panty raid after their march downtown and the effigy burning. ! Shortly after Gov. Griffin asked the regents to take action against Tech last Friday, some 2,000 Tech students burned the governor in effiav at least six times, marched on the state capi-' tol and then demonstrated in front of the executive mansion. Students at Mercer Univer sity, a Baptist-supported school in Macon, Ga., also had burned the governor in effigy. The regents adopted on a vote Alabama Negroes Boycolt City Buses Montgomery, Ala. U.R) About 4000 Negroes voted at a mass meeting last night to stay off the city buses until a satis factory arrangement is worked out in a squabble over Jim Crow seating. The crowd jammed into a Baptist church for the rally that came after the first day's boy cott of the buses, to protest the conviction of a seamstress who refused to take a Jim Crow seat, was called "90 per cent effec tive." The group adopted a resolu tion at the meeting "to refrain from riding buses owned and operated in the city of Mont gomery by the Montgomery City Lines, Inc., until some arrange ments have been worked out be tween the citizens and the Mont gomery City lines." City buses ordinarly crowded with Negro workmen, domestics and school children were left largely to white passengers dur ing the boycott. of 13 to 1 Monday the new rule which would enforce segregation in the stands and on the field of sports events played in Georgia. The policy stated that in fu ture contracts by state colleges no . game conditions shall exist repugnant to the "laws, customs and traditions of the host state." That would let Georgia teams play in other regions where there is no segregation or "do as the Romans do," as Gov. Grif fin put it. But teams from those regions could not pay return visits to Georgia without leaving their Negro players home, which they probably would not do. Palenf Infringement VerdicI Set Aside Portland (U.R) A $2,138, 755 patent infringement verdict against the manufacturers of Ad miral and Amana refrigerators was set aside yesterday by Fed eral District Judge Gus J. Solo mon. Moist Cold Refrigeration Com pany, Inc., had alleged infringe ment of a patent for dual temp erature type refrigeration and demanded damages. The jury voted the damages last Friday, but Judge Solomon held there was "no rational bas is" for the amount. He said Moist Cold's alleged patent which ex pired in 1953 wasj'a minor im provement in a crowded field" and "did not perform some new and different function." An attorney for Moist Cold said the decision probably would be appealed. o h HURRY to LEAN'S TOTS-TO-TEENS. The Christmas Season is un derway . . . arid never before has our stock been so complete!

Tuesday, December 6, 1955 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUyB-HVE Christmas Mail Delayed by Strike San Francisco U.R) A strike called by AFL Marine Firemen to back demands for increased vacation pay delayed a cargo of Christmas mail today for serv icemen overseas. The mail was aboard the China Transport, a freighter op erated by Pacific Transport lines. The ship was supposed to have sailed Sunday for the Orient, but the firemen refused to sign on for the voyage. Aboard the vessel were 751 tons of general military cargo and 2353 sacks of mail for the Army, Navy, Air Force and Ma rine Corps men in Hawaii, Ja pan and Okinawa. Also aboard were 5500 sacks of civilian mail. Army and Navy officials were to decide today whether to shift the Christmas mail to another vessel. - The China Transport was the first ship to be harassed by the marine firemen since they an nounced last ' week that all member firms of the Pacific Maritime association would . be subject to their refusal to sign A spokesman for the associa tion said several ships have sailed since the union announc ed its policy. He said the fire men offered no explanation for singling out the China Trans port. A union spokesman said the unioji has been letting ships sail only- to Hawaii and to West coast ports. The dispute stems from a de mand from the firemen for va cation parity with the AFL Sailors.. St. Helens Appoints Hospital Administrator St Helens U.R) Ray H.
