For Attending Prayer Service
As We Live
Thursday, March 29. 1956
MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE S EVEN
New York 0J.R Nine Calif- employ ment superintendent,
ornia Negro workers today pro
tested their dismissal for leaving
their jobs one hour to take part
in nationwide prayer services in
support of the Montgomery,
Ala., bus boycott.
The Negroes were fired
Wednesday for leaving their
jobs at the Pacific Airmotive
Corp. plant at Chino, Calif.
The -special services, called
"The National Deliverance Day
of Prayer" by its Negro leaders,
were held in churches across the
nation Wednesday.
Negro leaders reported 28,
000 persons attended services
during the day in Chicago. New
York. Washington, D.C., Boston
and Los Angeles reported large
attendances.
Day Long Prayer
In the South, about 2,500 Ne
groes participated in a mass
demonstration sponsored by the
Negro Interdenomination Minis
terial Alliance representing 59
churches in the area. Negro
church doors were open the day
long for prayer in Atlanta and
Montgomery. Negro clergy in
Galveston, Tex., and Baton
Eouge, La., held special services.
About 75 Massachusetts legis
lators left committee meetings
in Boston in a demonstration of
sympathy with the Negro boy
cott leaders.
Gov. Goodwin Knight and the
Los Angeles City Council en
dorsed the day of prayer in Cal
ifornia. Labor organizations also
sanctioned the demonstration.
Several churches in Hollywood
and Los Angeles held special
services.
Fired After Absence
In Chino, the nine fired Negro
workers punched out their time
cards at 2 p.m. and punched
back in at 3 p.m. at the aircraft
plant which overhauls and re
pairs Air Force C47 parts. Dur
ing their one hour absence they
went' to their cars to join in the
special prayers. Sixteen other
Negroes employed by the com
pany did not take part.
Ralph Simpson, tfie. plant's
said nine Negroes were fired be
cause management "couldn't
condone such action for any
group."
"We did everything possible
to work out a solution, Simp-
some of our oldest employees."
Percy Strickland, one of the
fired men, said the action would
be referred to both the Interna
tional association oi iviacninisis i
Union and the National Asso
ciation for the Advancement of

Baker Residents Keep
Eye on Rising River
Baker (U.R) The weather
held, the key today as residents
of Saker county kept a watch
ful eye on the Powder river,
which is threatening to be the
first Oregon stream to start a
heavy flood spring runoff.
Cooler weather early in the
week sent the water receeding
slightly but at several spots in
Baker the river was wjthin a
foot of spilling over it banks.
TJie stream already has. over
flowed its banks at several
points in the valley and is
threatening at least one home.
The normally peaceful river
usually reaches its present
point later in the spring. Far
mers in the valley are fearful
this year that an exceptionally
heavy runoff will wash out hay
crops and grain plantings.
eSnow Avalanches
Feared on Sisters
Bend (U.R) Observers
here say that massive fields of
snow are precariously clinging
to the slopes of" the Three Sis
ters and very possibly could
break away this spring in huge
avalanches.
After a recent flight over the
10,000 foot high mountains, J.
I. Van Wormer of Bend- said
that snow has completely filled
the summit crater on the South
Sister which normally is filled
by a lake in the summer months
The snow is at such depths that
most valleys ' and promontories
have been obliterated.
Van Wormer said several
' Show fields appear poised for
plunges from the steep slopes.
YOUNG MEN'S FANCIES
Chicago (U.R) State's At
torney John Gutknecht warned
law enforcement officers today
that it's, spring again and young
men's fancies are likely to turn
to thoughts of stealing cars. Car
thefts normally hit their peak
in April, Gutknecht said.

McKay in Race Said
'Absentee Dictation7
Washington--(U.R) Sen. Rich
ard L. Neuberger (D-Ore.) as
serted yesterday that the entry
of Douglas McKay in the Oregon
Republican senatorial primary
amounted to "absentee dicta
tion" by the Republican admin
istration.
Neuberger, in a Senate speech,
charged that a "little group of
men in the White House and the
Republican National Committee
"hand-picked" McKay, now sec
retary of interior, for the race.
"Then they sent him off to
Oregon, without so much as a
courtesy notice to the Republi
cans already filed in that race,"
he said.
If what he called the McKay
"intrusion" into the Oregon pri
mary is successful, Neuberger
said, the direct primary system
is "dead" in the state.
'Wheelchair' Homes
Provided Veterans
More than 4,300 seriously dis
abled veterans have received
federal grants totaling more than
S41 million for "wheelchair
homes," S. T. Brannock, officer
in charge of the Medford veter
ans administration office has an
nounced. Wheelchair homes incorporate
such special features .as ramps
instead of steps; doorways wide
enough to accommodate a wheel
chair; special bathroom features,
and exercise rooms equipped to
meet the needs of the veteran.
VA defrays 50 per cent of the
cost of wheelchair homes for
eligible veterans up to a maxi
mum of $10,000.
