Negroes Press
Bus Integration
By UNITED PRESS
Negroes waged their second of
three big integration campaigns
with indirect federal court sanc
tion today in Tallahassee, Fla..
with whites mapping counter
moves in the other two test
spots.
Buses remained integrated in
Montgomery. Ala., but integra
tion was called off pending le
gal action in Birmingham. Ala.
Tallahassee integration lead
ers said the Negroes will take
advantage of a federal injunc
tion forbidding the city to inter
fere with the bus line even
though it permits integrated
seating.
Federal Judge Dozicr Devane
in issuing the injunction from
his home in an extraordinary
hearing Thursday night said he
believes segregation law is as
"dead as a doornail."
But in Montgomery, where
buses were integrated under a
court order a week ago, and in
Birmingham, where a later dis
pute smouldered, white citizens
council leaders planned new le
gal and "popular" opposition.
One council leader announced
a series of rallies of whites to de
cide how to oppose the drive to
integrate Birmingham buses.
Another proposed that white
"minutemen" ride the buses and
enforce segregation.
Portland Due Relief
From Fog Blanket
Portland UR: Some relief
for the fog-plagued Portland area
was in sight today but the weath
er bureau predicted thick blan
kets of fog would persist in the
Willamette valley and the Co
lumbia basin into the new year.
The weatherman said east
winds should chase away the fog
from Portland. It had begun to
lift shortly after daybreak today
but the airport still was socked
in.

National Audubon society reg

as a 15-mile diameter circle. This
year the center of the circle was
moved from the usual point
north of Medford to the edge
of Talent and included valley
areas and contiguous hills be
tween Medford and Ashland.
The change was made this
year because of fog in lower
parts of the valley and for the
convenience of some Ashland

POLISH SITUATION WORSENING
Warsaw CU.Rl The situation
in Poland is more serious now
than during the fateful week end
in October when Nikila Khrush
chev and other Soviet leaders
flew here as Russian troops
stood ready.
That is the view of one highly
placcd Polish official as the na -
tion prepared for the first free
post-war election on Jan. 20. j
Wladyslaw Gomulka, who was
cheered wildly when he was j
swept back to power in the ,
events following the Poznan
riots, has the task of getting the I
Russians Withdraw
Three Divisions
From Hungary
Budapest UR) The Russians
have withdrawn three of the 12
to 14 divisions they had in Hun
gary at the height of last month's
rebellion, independent non-Communist
sources reported today.
One hundred and twenty-seven
trains have carried the tanks,
troops and supplies across the
Soviet-Hungarian frontier recent
ly and the movement eastward
is continuing, the reports said.
The information about the So
viet withdrawal has been receiv
ed by several independent reli
able sources here. It is believed
designed to mesh with a master
plan to build a Hungarian gov
ernment similar to the "new
look" Communist regime in
Poland.
Fewer tanks stood guard in
Budapest today and Soviet truck
convoys laden with what appear
ed to be office furniture moved
through the snowy streets of the
city, carefully observing the traf
fic rules.
Partial Withdrawal
Two Soviet guard divisions
were stationed in Hungary when
the revolt first flared in October.
Between 10 and 12 more were
rushed into the country from
Romania and the Soviet Union
itself, according to reports, be
tween Oct. 22 and Nov. 4.
The present reported with
drawal, therefore, represents a
cut of one-fourth of the Soviet
armored strength that, was con
centrated in the country during
the worst period of the rebellion.
M e a n w h i 1 e, the Hungarian
Writers Association, one of the
most active croups early in the
revolt, met in closed session in
Budapest. Its members were dis
cussing "recent events" and pos
sibly examining reports of the
revolt in the foreign press and
by writers abroad.
Hungary's restive workers,
meanwhile, were showing new
signs of resistance to the present
Soviet supported regime. The
workers' anger was being
spurred by the nation's economic
crisis which has resulted in wide
spread unemployment.
Medford Lawyer's
Suspension Urged
Portland UR The board of
governors of the Oregon Stale
Bar today recommended a one
year suspension for Medford at
torney George Rode.
The board recommended to
the Oregon Supreme Court that
Rode be suspended from the
practice of law for one year.
Rode has 60 days in which to
petition the court for a review,
modification or reversal of the
board's action.
On July 13 a three-man trial
committee of the state bar con
ducted a formal hearing at
Grants Pass and a majority
found Rode guilty of profession-
' al misconduct.

Several thousand starlings also
roost in this area but they could
not be observed Thursday morn

HUNGARIAN RELIEF When the girls of the Medford High
school Tri-Hi-Y organization were asked to conduct a clothing
drive for Hungarian relief, they decided more immediate results
could be achieved with a cash donation. Above. Mcggie Jacobs,
the club's president, is shown handing a check from their treas
ury to Mrs. H. P. Bosworth, a member of the YMCA board of
directors in charge of world affairs, while Tri-Hi-r advisor Mrs.
Alva Perkins (left) and Sandra Callif, the club's treasurer, look
on. The girls will still carry out the clothing drive. A clothing
drive in the Ruch area, under the auspices of the Ruch PTA,
headed by the Rev. Earl Best, pastor of the Ruch Community
church, is now under way. Other organizations having large do
nations of clothing for Hungarian relief are advised to send
them to the AFSC warehouse at 70 Oak Grove. San Francisco,
instead of the regional office at 1830 Sutter St., San Francisco.
Fog May Clear From
Valley on Week End
Chances of the lingering fog
clearing from the Rogue valley
this week end were improving
today, but the five-day forecast
predicts little major change in
the weather.
Strong gusty winds were re
ported in higher elevations to
day, and should help clear the
pocket of cold foggy air from
the Medford area, weather bu
reau officials said.
The winds, however, increased
the forest fire hazard, according
to reports from Sexton mountain
weather station. The station re
ported a 55-degree temperature
at 9:30 a.m. today with the hu
midity at 12 per cent. Winds up
to 35 miles per hour were re
corded there, creating rapid dry
ing conditions for forest areas.
