White sen iouth's Victory in Lucy Case ossioiv uniy integration veiay Thursday. March 8. 1958 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE ELEVEN Editor's note: The Atlantic bureau chief of tnited Press is makinj an extended tour throughout the South to give a rloseup report on the bis issues in the desesref ation contro versy. This is the first of a number of dispatches on that subject. By AL KUETTNER United Press Correspondent Tuscaloosa, Ala. (U.R) The White South has won the first big battle it chose to fight on the desegregation! issue. There is no blinking the fact that Autherine Lucy is not in the University of Alabama. And the temper of this com munity is such that you get the feeling she never will be the U. S. Supreme Court and all its power to the contrary. The White people here say simply that Miss Lucy will re turn at the risk of her life. Negroes in Louisiana Colleges Yet in nearby Louisiana with about the same Negro-White distribution,' 235 Negro under graduates have been admitted to three state colleges with lit tle fanfare. They have equality in the classroom if not on the ' ond OVERHAUL ""jf II VS4 fl scientifically exam. I kL fiO I I y kl .V ineef, cleased and od- I "01 J 2A7I justed. Com in now! I Wear Our Leaner Watch While Yours Is Being Repaired campus. Why' did that happen while Tuscaloosa exploded in a riot when Miss Lucy attempted to attend classes? The answer seems to boil down to this: The South is not going to have racial integration thrust down its throat. There are signs everywhere that the prospect of eventual integration is being accepted. But it will come in the White South's way, and pretty much in the South's own time or there will be blood shed. Some Opinions Here is the opinion of a fill ing station attendant near the university campus: "Autherine Lucy would have been going to school at Ala bama right now if she had come here right like other students. Oh, there would have been some argument, but she would be in school. But she showed up with a six-man escort, lots of hoopla, driving a Cadillac, and throwing out hundred dol lar bills to buy three dollar books. It just made people boil." That a White Supremacy man talking and there is great ques tion, whether Miss Lucy would now be in the university had she come here meekly. After all, there are no other Negroes in the school. But the fact re mains that the manner of try ing to get her admitted was of great importance. There are voices here raised for moderation. One is that of publisher Buford Boone of the Tuscaloosa News. "The South must recognize that we are living in a period of change," Boone says. "There is a solution to the problem, but it must be reached through the study and compromise. Unless intelligent moderate thinkers of the South step forward to tackle the problem, we are in NOW!

Belter Part of Wisdom "Moderate thinking Negroes should realize it is the better part of ; wisdom to seek educa tion in a Negro institution if adequate facilities are available. But moderate White people should accept the responsibility either of providing every need ed educational advantage for Negroes or accepting qualified students in White institutions." The Lucy . case has brought most unhappy repercussions. Not far from here lies the world famous Negro college, Tuskagee Institute. Surround ing Macon county is good, roll ing farm country, much of it re stored to fertility as a result of experiments conducted at Tus kegee. In the county there are four Negroes to every White .but they have lived in tranquil I ity for years. Would Cancel Contribution Now State Rep. W. I. Martin has introduced a bill in the Leg islature to cancel Alabama's annual 5375,000 contribution to Tuskegee in the event a Ne gro entered an Alabama White college and stayed 10 days. Editor Hal Fisher of the Tus kegee News denounced the pro posal as an "utterly stupid at tempt to penalize an institution largely responsible for giving this community a higher type of citizenship." The segregationalists are con vinced they won a terrific vic tory in the Lucy. case. But, un derneath, one can sense that they may wonder if they are not fighting a delaying action only. Electrical Workers Claim Westinghouse Plan 'Unacceptable1 Washington OJ.R) The AFL CIO Electrical Workers Union today termed "unacceptable", a mediation package contract pro posal for settling their 144-day strike against Westinghouse Electric Corp. The union's answer dashed hopes of any immediate settle ment of the strike, longest major walkout in 20 years. The company had accepted the proposal. Unanimous Vote Union President James B. Carey told a news conference that the union's 79-member Westinghouse Conference Board had voted unanimously against accepting the proposal at a four hour meeting last night. Carey said the conference board directed union negotiators to "resume negotiations immed iately" toward a new settlement effort. Carey insisted that the union action "is not to be considered a rejection of" the settlement proposal "so far, it is unacceptable." Instructions Found Needed To Follow Air Raid Sirens - Santa Rosa, Calif. (U.R) The Federal Civil Defense Adminis tration said today that a recent survey shows the wail of CD at tack warning sirens may go un heeded unless followed immed iately by voice instructions to the public. The survey, conducted by the Survey Research Center of the University of Michigan, showed that most people in Oakland, Calif., paid little attention to ac tual alert signals sounded last May 5 as a result of a warning of probable attack called by the Air Force. Planes Unidentified The alert, the Air Force said at the time, resulted from a tem porarily unidentified flight of American bombers flying in from the Pacific. Although the interviews showed that 75 per cent of those in Oakland at the time heard the siren warning, nine out of 20 persons questioned did nothing when the sirens sounded, and seven out of 20 only casually checked disbelief of the signal. Only two out of 20 tried to get additional information by turn ing on a radio or calling some of fice, and a similar proportion tried to protect themselves by taking some sort of cover. Attack Thought Unlikely Seeking the why of public dis belief of the sirens, the re searchers noted that nearly half of those people questioned be lieved an enemy attack on the United States was unlikely at the time, and about 20 to 30 per cent thought the sirens signalled just a practice test. More than 75 pr cent of those questioned indicated that, in the event of another alert, they would pay no attention to the sirens unless given additional information. Depoe Bay Residents Awaiting Dead Whale Depoe Bay (U.R) Residents of Depoe Bay have their fingers crossed and have had them cross ed for three days. A 30-foot grey whale is 300 yards off shore of the main business district of the town. The reason for the crossed fingers: The mammal is not pick ing its final resting place but leaving that up to the wind and tide. ' . ; The whale is dead. The grey whales migrate from the coast of Mexico to the Aleu tians each year, starting, in Feb ruary. Oldtimers said the whale will no doubt end up in the North cove of outer Depoe-Bay. Carey said the Union Confer ence Board found a "number of recommendations" in the pro posal to be acceptable. But Westinghouse said in a statement that the union "by refusing to accept the recom mendations as a package and demanding changes has clearly rejected them." The settlement proposal called for a five-year contract with a minimum wage increase of 25 cents an hour over the period and some other fringe benefits Could Cut Wages Carey maintained that, under the contract proposal, the com pany might be able to cut wages of 30,000 workers as much as 37 cents an hour as result of time studies and shifting of so-called incentive workers to set hourly rates. But, he said, several "basic recommendations," i n c 1 u d ing those regarding company time studies, "are not clear." McKay Backs Neuberger On Beaver Marsh BUI Washington (U.R) Sen. Rich ard L. Neuberger (D-Ore.) said today that Interior Secretary Douglas McKay has indicated support for his bill to cancel the Federal Power Commission li cense for the Beaver Marsh hydro-electric project in Oregon. Neuberger said the Senate Public Works Committee plans to hold a hearing on the bill March 21. He said McKay indi cated he will accept Neuberger's invitation to testify for the bill. Grange Upper Applegate Grange A previous plan to build the Upper Applegate Grange hall on the property at McKee bridge was rescinded by a majority vote of the membership present at the last Grange meeting. Other available locations were discussed and the master, George Redhead, pointed out that any one having a suitable location in mind, find out necessary details and present it at the next meet ing, March 9 to be voted upon. The resolutions committee sub mitted a resolution stating that it had been resolved to change the Grange site to a more cen trally located one. A vote will be taken to decide whether or not a move will be made and to determine a location, when the Grange convenes for a regular business session at the Ruch school, March 9. At present, two locations are definitely available. One at the head of Taylor lane, bordering on Highway 38, the other a part of the Cantrall property, also bordering on the highway. The latter being a plot of ground previously offered by Harlan Cantrall as a gift. The secretary called attention to unpaid dues, which must be in by March 31. Thereafter, any member whose dues are unpaid, will be considered delinquent and dropped from the member ship roll. The lecturer announced that a film will be shown for the pro gram next meeting. - Refreshments were served by the James Winninghams' and Fred Wests.'
