South's Bus Integration Movements Touch Off New Violence in Montgomery Two Ministers' Homes Dynamited In Montgomery The South' bus integration movement touched off a new wave of violence in which two Neffro churches and two minis ters' homes were dynamited early today in Montgomery, Ala. First police reporU said there were no reports of injury in the eruption of anti-Negro feeling in the Alabama capital where buses were integrated under court or ders last month. The city had restored a night curfew on bus operations hours earlier because of a sixth gun blast which hit a bus rolling through a Negro district late Wednesday. No one was hurt. Movamant Spreads The fiareup of the first whole sale bombing in the region-wide segregation dispute was timed with a spread of the movement to Atlanta, where Negroes were staging their most ambitious plan to integrate buses. A group of Atlanta members planned to defy local bus segre gation laws by riding in front sections of trolleys for a second time later today. The test was being held during a two-day con ference of Negro leaders who hope to spread their movement to other Southern cities. Al.rti National Guard Gov. Marvin Griffin of Georgia alerted the National Guard to put down any "riots, insurrection or breaches of the peace" that might be stirred up by "outside agitators" in At lanta. The Rev. William Borders, a Baptist minister, denied his ."love, law and liberation" move ment was connected with the conference called by leaders of earlier movements in Montgom ery, Ala., Tallahassee, f'la., and Birmingham, Ala. - Both groups urged a policy of non-violence. The three sites of earlier integration tests all have been hit by various forms of vio lence ulciuding shootings, rock ".throwing, and bombing of Ne groes' homes. Spraadi Integration Movement : The Atlanta campaign spread the bus integration movement into nearly every Southern me tropolis, although actual at tempts to ride in "white" sec tions had previously been made only in Mongtomery, Talla hasee and Birmingham. - Negroes in New Orleans Wednesday were denied their formal request for bus integra tion. They said "the only re course we have left is the federal court." Other Negro groups have made preliminary moves to start riding buses on a mixed basis in Memphis, Tenn., and in several smaller Alabama cities. Other cities in Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, North Carolina and Oklahoma have ended com pulsory bus segregation without such drivel. Dr. Brown to Teach Evening Class at MHS Dr. J.

It will cost you more to drive your car and heat your home this winter. Other products may cost you more. And your chances for tax relief appear to be zero. Gasoline and fuel oil prices appear headed for a one-cent-a-gallon increase in most parts of the country. Some Americans in the Western states began pay ing the extra penny this week. Before the year is over, more than a billion dollars have been added to the national fuel bill. The extra cost of oil may be passed along eventually in the prices of other goods you buy. Direct Hit This direct hit on your pocket book stems from last fall's brief but costly Middle Eastern fight ing. Indirectly, you also will be paying with taxes for what hap pened in the Middle East. It forced the United States to cur tail defense cuts and probably will result in a boost in aid to Middle Eastern states threatened by Communist advances. When Israel invaded Egypt and Britain and France struck in the Suez Canal zone, the United States opposed the war kept out of it and helped end it. There were surprisingly few economic effects on America in the first weeks. But there was never any doubt that Suez event ually would come home to main street. Last Thursday the Humble Oil and Refining Co., a produc tion affiliate of the Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey, boosted the price it- pays for crude oil in Texas 35 cents a barrel to $3.25. Since then the major oil companies, including Texaco, Gulf, Sinclair and Esso Stand ard, have announced the same or similar increases. Last week end the higher crude oil prices began to reach your neighborhood dealer. In Texas and New Mexico, most companies have raised oil pro ducts a cent a gallon on the consumer level. The pattern is expected to sweep through all companies and most of the nation. The jump stemmed from the heavy European demand for American oil resulting from the closing of the Suez Canal and the shutdown in oil supplies from the Middle East. Portland U.P.)

Questionnaires Mailed by VA to Vets With Pensions Annual income questionnaires have been mailed to more than 3,200 veterans and widows and children of deceased veterans who are receiving pensions, ac cording to S. T. Brannock, of ficer in charge of the Veterans Administration office here. He urged those receiving ques tionnaires to fill them out com pletely, and return them to the , address shown on the form. He said that unless completed ques- j tionnaires are returned to the ; VA within 30 days, pension pay ments will be stopped. ! Questionnaires are mailed an nually because under federal j law, disability and death pension j are subject to annual income limitations. Current question naires request data on 1956 in- j come and anticipated 1957 in-1 come. ! Certain Eligible Vets ; Brannock said pensions are payable to certain eligible vet-: erans of World War I, World War II, and the Korean conflict period who are permanently and totally disabled from causes not connected with their service in the armed forces, and to certain widows and children of veterans of the same wars who die of non-service-connected causes. In both cases -the annual in come for those receiving pension must not exceed S1.400 without dependents, or S2.700 with de pendents, Brannock said. If a person receiving pension fails to notify the VA of an in crease in income which raises his annual income over the statutory limit, payments will be discontinued back to the first of the year, he noted. Overpay ments Brannock said, are sub ject to recovery by the govern ment. Help on questionnaires is avail able at the VA offices in Med ford oi at Camp White. Revolution Taking Place in Textbooks Reading material for children must be more attractive to the eye if it is to compete with tele vision and other forms of com munication the Southern Ore gon Optometric society said to day. "Two qualities stand out in reading material popular with children," the society said. "One is large type, and the other is effective use oi color. Concentration is difficult for the grade school child, according to the society. "The smaller the child the larger the type needed. Color has more appeal to a young child than to an adult," the society noted. The society said a revolution is taking place in textbook pub lishing as a result of competition from television, films and other visual forms of communication.
