Accused Aifackers Of Nal King Cole Present Defense Birmingham, Ala. U.R) Four accused attackers of Negro singer Nat King Cole on a con cert stage here opened their de fense in city court today. The prosecution rested its case yesterday with the introduction of written statements by two of the men saying they thought they were taking part in a seg regationist demonstration, not a planned riot. The four, charged with vari ous misdemeanors, are accused of taking part in a conspiracy to start a riot by attacking the Negro on the stage of the mu nicipal auditorium because of their white supremacy views. Assault Charges Du The other suspects are to face charges of assault with intent to murder later. Orliss Clevanger, 18, said In one statement that he and the others plotted at Anniston, Ala., to attend the concert ."for the purpose of breaking up the show" by "starting a- racket." E. L. Vinson, 25, said in his statement that he thought the group was only "going to throw eggs" at Cole and try to per suade the audience of 3,500 white persons to walk out.

Republicans Show Dual Reaction To Politics of Farm Bill Veto Salary Warrants Sent To Oregon Legislators Salem (U.R) Salary warrants of S150 for Oregon legislators were issued yesterday by Secre tary of State Earl T. Newbry. The payment was the second due for 1956. Members of the Legislature receive S600 annual ly with presiding officers getting $200 extra. Washington (U.R) The Re publican Party heard cries of despair from some of its farm belt strongholds today, but the party as a whole sprang to the attack against the Democrats on the farm issue. This dual reaction to the pol itics of the farm problem was apparent among GOP leaders from throughout the country at tending a two-day conference with Republicans in Congress here to discuss 1956 campaign strategy. The reaction was touched off by President Eisen hower's veto of the farm bill Monday. Mr. Eisenhower and Vice President Richard M. Nixon will address the closing session of the GOP conference tonight. On the Democratic side, de nunciation of the President's veto of the farm bill and the I" w Jersey presidential primary occupied the political spotlight. There were these developments: Democratic presidential, can didate Adlai Stevenson and Sen. Estes Kef auver summed up much Democratic criticism of the veto. Stevenson at his Southern Pines, N. C, vacation retreat said the veto "shows again the Presi dent's reluctance to face the facts of the farm depression." Kefauver paused during a whis tle-stop tour of the San Fran-J cisco area to express "deep re gret.". ; . In the New ' Jersey primary, Kef auver's. name appeared alone on the Democratic ballot as Mr. Eisenhower's did on the GOP ballot. But the Tennessee sena tor's full slate of delegates faced a technically uncommitted slate headed by Gov. Robert Meyner that is considered ,overwhelm ingly pro-Stevenson. New Jer sey casts 38 GOP convention votes, 36 Democratic ones. Mayor Holds Weekly Citizen Gripe Hour Coloma, Mich. (U.R) May or L. H. Beach holds a weekly "gripe" hour for local citizens. 1 "It got so I couldn't walk down the street without being stopped two or three times to hear complaints from citizens," Beach said. "So I decided to be available at the municipal build ing every Wednesday night to listen to anyone's gripes and try and iron out whatever problems I tan." Mr. Eisenhower's veto of the farm bill made the whole farm question the No. 1 issue before the conferees. While they re frained from public criticism of the decision, those from the farm states west of the Missis sippi river made it clear that they are very -worried about the effect of farm discontent on the GOP. Could Hurt Chances Some said the farm Issue could endanger the reelection of Mr. Eisenhower. Others laid more stress on how it could jeopardize Republican efforts to regain con trol of Congress. Chairman Leonard W. Hall of I the Republican National Com mittee responded that Mr. Ei senhower's veto message demon strated to the farmers that Dem ocratic leaders had made "a po litical football" of the farm is sue. A midwestern state GOP chairman, disappointed by the veto, took the same lip.e. "I'm not going to defend or apologize for the President," he said. "I'm going to attack the Democrats. You don't win elec tions by staying on the de fensive." . . 1213 N.
