But Negro demonstra tors at Nashville, Tenn., call ed off a "back to jail move ment. A two-day ice and snow storm which paralyzed most of the South caused at least a temporary lull in the month' old Negro campaign against segregated eating facilities, libraries and schools. More than 1,000 students at Alabama State college (Ne gro) Montgomery, Ala., vow ed Wednesday night to quit school in protest against state action expelling nine students for an anti-segregation dem onstration.

At Nashville, 145 persons arrested for sitdown demon strations at segregated lunch counters of dime, drug and department stores changed their minds about going to jail rather than paying $50 fines. Thirty who chose to go to jail were released under ap peal bonds. The rest were freed under appearance bonds to await trial. Nashville Mayor Ben West appointed a bi-racial commit tee to "study the issues in volved in the sitdown demon strations" which have been carried on largely by students from predominantly Negro Fisk university. Raise Defense Fund Florida Gov. Leroy Collins also called for an end to sit down demonstrations which have taken place in Tampa, Tallahassee, Sarasota, Day tona Beach and St. Peters burg, Fla. Collins said the demonstrations lead to disor der, and "disorder leads to danger to the general wel fare." It was announced in New York that a committee has been formed to raise $200,000 for defense of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., an Atlanta Negro minister indicted in Alabama on perjury charge.

Mississippi Senate Votes Local Option; Bill Goes to House Jackson, Miss. (UPD Fifty one years ago the Mississippi Legislature voted to "forever wipe ' the stigma of liquor from state." Today, the state Senate has conceded that "some of Mis sissippi's finest citizens" still are seen at social gatherings where liquor is served in this, the only legally bone-dry state in the nation. The Senate voted 27 to 16 Thursday in favor of a local option liquor bill that Sen. William Caraway of Leland said woud finally "make an honest lady of Mississippi." The bill was expected to be sent to the House for a vote next week. House Fate Uncertain Its fate in the House is un certain. Also, Gov. Ross Bar nett. a Baptist Sunday school teacher, has refused to say if he will sign it if it passes. It touched off one of the most furious debates the Senate has seen since the subject last came to the floor of the Leg islature in 1952. "It would be just as sen sible to authorize the selling of tuberculosis germs," thun Investigation of Faulty Airplane Purchases Due Washington-flJPD-A congres sional staff investigation has been ordered into charges by government auditors that the Navy spent $607,800,000 on faulty planes and radar equipment. Chairman Chet ' Holifield CD-Calif.) said he was direct ing House military operations subcommittee aides to launch an immediate study of the re port filed with Congress by Comptroller General Joseph Campbell. "The sums of money in volved are certainly huge and this warrants a very careful staff examination," Holifield told a reporter. ' Deficiencies Uncovered Campbell, whose auditors keep tabs on ' government spending, filed the report Thursday on procurement of F7U jet fighters, T2V jet training planes, and APS44A radar sets to help P5M patrol planes track down subma rines. The auditors charged that even after testing uncovered "known serious deficiencies" in the planes and equipment, the Navy continued to place volume orders for them. Navy's Reply As a result, the report said, "aircraft incapable of per forming the designated mis sion and unreliable and in ferior equipment were pro duced in volume quantities costing over $600 million." The Navy replied that the report spoke "the truth but not the whole truth." For one thing, it said, it couldn't go along with the implication that everything spent on equipment that doesn't meas ure up to initial hopes is wasted. . "The knowledge gained is utilized to advantage in later procurements and the equip ment itself may have a useful life even if it does not com pletely fulfill its early expec tations," the Navy said in an appendix to the report. dered Sen. Ollie Knight of Amory, a Baptist minister and chairman of the Senate Tem perance Committee. "No, man should be given the right to drink a beverage that ruins his mind and makes him lose control," said Sen, Ed Williams of Olive Branch. Most supporters of the local option bill vowed that while they never touched the stuff themseves they knew many who did, and the time had come to recognize that hard liquor is sold openly in many localities. The state collects a black market tax on liquor sales, thus - giving them a semblance of legality.
