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.

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..
