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.
Clevanger said he had placed
a rifle in his car "in case there
was a mob." Police found two
loaded .22 caliber repeating
rifles, a blackjack and brass
knuckles in the car.
'Rock and Roll' Music
Loses in Council Vote
De Moines, la. (U.R) The
Des Moines City Council vot
ed unanimously against "rock
and roll" music yesterday.
It voted lo refuse a dime
store's request to pipe the
bouncy music into the streets
as promotion for a "rock and
roll" selling campaign.
'Minds' To Meet on
Fort Rock Publicity
Bend UJ!) Agriculture pros
pects in the Fort Rock basin will
not receive further publication
until "there is a meeting of the
minds"- it was announced here.
The announcement by F. E.
Price, head of the Oregon State
college extension service, fol
lowed an unsuccessful legal at
tempt seeking an injunction
against further publication.
Price said that a meeting be
tween college officials and the
ranchers of the area would be
held next month to discuss the
subject.
Ranchers of the area had
charged earlier that a report
carried in the winter issue of
"Oregon's Agriculture Progress"
had damaged the area.
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." . .

Atlanta U.R) Negro singer
Nat K-ng Cole has called off a
performance here tonight saying
he would "not go to Atlanta for
a million dollars," a local pro
moter reported today.
Promoter B. B. Beamon quot
ed Cole as saying he was "afraid
to come to Atlanta" because of
its nearness to the scene of an

ists at Birmingham, Ala.
Phones Link State
Agencies and Schools
Salem (U.R) A telephone tie-
line connecting Salem state
agencies to Oregon State college
and the University of Oregon
was placed in operation yester
day.
The Department of Finance
and Administration said cost of
the new service would be about
S115. Previously long distance
tolls between Salem and the
two schools had averaged about
$290 a month.
It was expected that about 90
per cent of long distance calls
would be placed on the new
line, saving some $140 monthly
The state system of higher ed
ucation already has been author
ized to install a trunk line be
tween OSC and Portland which
should result in further cost re
ductions.

Chicago Irked Over
John Kelly's Remark
Chicago U.R) A reported
slur on Chicago from father-of-
the-bride John Kelly had Chi-,
cago officials seething today. i
Kelly, a Philadelphia busi-:
nessman, was reported to have I
commented "this may be a mob '
from Chicago" when told of the
second jewel robbery among
guests to the wedding of his
movie actress daughter in
Monaco.
"If the wedding had been held
in Chicago, more members of
the party would have been
robbed," Kelly was quoted as
saying.
Law enforcement officials
here snapped that it appears
Monaco is a much more lawless
place than Chicago.
State's attorney John Gut
knecht said "You can tell
Grace's father that he is going
to find that one of the best
places to be robbed is Monaco."
