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

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

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. -
