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.

r 'iV -r, i
Consumers of Nation Beginning To Pay for Middle East Crisis
New York (U.R) You are
now paying for the Middle East
crisis.
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.) Producers

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.
