    Negroes Hail Major Victory in Sitdop Demonstrations
Cape Canaveral. Fla.,
launching base for rockets, is
a sandy spit linked to th
mainland by a causeway.

600 Arrested in
South; Texas
Area Integrates
By United Press International
Negroes hailed a major vic
tory today in their seven-
week campaign against South
em racial barriers, even
though 600 demonstrators
were put behind bars in two
Deep South states.
Police at Orangeburg, S.C
broke up a series of anti-segre
gation parades Tuesday with
fire hoses and tear gas and
arrested about 400 marchers
The first all-out Negro cam
paign against lunch counter
segregation in Atlanta
brought 77 arrests. Seventy
Negroes were arrested at
Rock Hill S.C, 10 at Colum
bia, S.C, and six at St. Augus
tine, Fla.
But at San Antonio, Texas,
the head of the city's Council
of Churches announced that
one department store and a
number of drug and variety
stores agreed to integrate
their lunch counters rather
than face the possibility of
Negro sitdown demonstra
tions.
, At Winston - Salem, N.C,
half of the 120 faculty mem
bers of Wake Forest College
signed a petition urging a lo
cal dime store to "serve all
customers without reference
to race." Store manager Her
man Warren signed trespass
warrants against 22 demon
strators in his store recently.
No sitdown demonstrations
have taken place in San An-
tion, but violence broke out
at Houston, and demonstra
tions have occurred in other
Texas cities. A San Antonio
youth group announced a
Thursday night deadline on
jts demand that city depart
mijfit stores drop color bar
riers at lunch counters.

Butler Attacked
For Alleged
Vote Predictions
Washington-TOPD-Democratic
National Chairman Paul M.
Butler, who has weathered
many political storms, found
himself buffeted from a new
direction today-from the far
liberal wing of the party.
Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey
cD-Minn.) and one of his cam
paign .managers said Butler
should resign if the party
chief had been making private
predictions that Sen. John F.
Kennedy (D-Mass.) would win
the Democratic presidential
nomination.
Butler, who often has heard
demands from his Southern
critics for his resignation, de
clined to comment.
Kennedy and Humphrey,
both declared candidates for
the nomination, will meet in
the April 5. Wisconsin pri
mary, the first big Democratic
contest in advance of the na
tional convention.
Humphrey and Sen. Eugene
J. McCarthy (D-Minnu.), cc-
chairman of his campaign or
ganization, fired at Butler
after newspaper stories Tues
day quoted an unidentified
high Democratic source. This
Democrat was said to believe
that Kennedy would win the
Wisconsin primary and then
.go on to win the presidential
nomination on an early ballot.
" Both Humphrey and McCar
thy made it clear in state
ments that they believed But
ler was the unnamed fore
caster. McCarthy said it was
"indicated" that Butler ; "has
actually been working to pro
mote" Kennedy's candidacy.
Stocks Set New
Milestone for Year
New York - (DPD Stocks
set a new milestone for the
1960 trading year today, ris
ing for the fourth consecutive
session.
But, as in the case of the
other advances, trading re
mained light, discouraging
the bulls who maintain that
any sustained rally will have
to be touched off by a string
of rising prices on heavy
volume.
Blue chips, hit hardest in
the 1960 decline, were in
most demand. Another rise
in rails, the sixth in a row,
also was a steadying influence
on the market.
The industrial average was
pulled up by gains of more
than 3 in Union Carbide,
around 2 in Eastman Kodak
and more than 1 in Du Pont,
Owens-Illinois, Alcoa and In

Lusk Choice as
Senator Favored;
Porter Dissents
Washington -(LTD- The Ore
gon congressional delegation,
with one dissenting opinion,
today applauded the appoint
ment of Hall S. Lusk to fill
the unexpired term of the late
Sen. Richard L. Neuberger.
Rep. Charles O. Porter (D)
was the only member of the
delegation to criticize Gov.
Mark Hatfield's choice of the
Oregon Supreme Court justice.
Sen. Wayne Morse (D) said
it will be a "privilege and an
honor" to welcome Lusk to
the Senate.
He added in a telegram to
Lusk, "please be assured that
myoffice is at your service.
In a Senate speech, Morse
said Lusk has been one of the
"distinguished jurists of our
state since 1930" and has been
an "outstanding leader in the
Oregon Bar."
Morse said that when he
was dean of the University of
Oregon law school "I came to
know Judge Lusk and formed
a very him regard for the bril
liance of his mind, the un
impeachable integrity of his
character and his fine human
qualities."
Rep. Edith Green (D) said
Hatfield used "good judg
ment" in naming Lusk to the
post. She said Lusk is an "out
standing citizen of our state."
"He has served long and
well with honor and distinc
tion and will continue the
same type of constructive
service in the United States
Senate," Mrs. Green said.
Rep. Walter Norblad, Ore
gon's only Republican Con
gressman, said it was an "ex
C e 1 1 e n t appointment." He
called Lusk an "outstanding
jurist" who is "well qualified
for the job."
Rep., Al Ullman (D) said
L u s k ' s appointment was
"most commendable.
"It is a very fitting climax
to a long career of public
service to the people of the
state," Ullman said. "He will
fill the position with, dignity
and responsibility. The gover
nor wisely made the appoint
ment free from political con
notation."
But Porter disagreed with
his colleagues.
"The governor should have
appointed Maurine Neuberger
(the late senator's widow)," he
said in a statement. "This is
what the people of Oregon
wanted and he knew it."
National Reputation
Porter said Lusk is an "out
standing man" and a "jurist
of not only state but national
reputation."
But the congressman said
Mrs. Neuberger "obviously
could carry on Dick Neuber
ger's work better than any
one else." Mrs. Neuberger is
seeking election to the post.
State Sen. Edwin Durno
(R), who is a candidate for
Porter's congressional seat,
said the appointment was
"ideal."
"As a jurist of unimpeach
able integrity, as a student of
the law for more than 30
years, and as a lifelong Demo
crat. Hall S. Lusk is the ideal
candidate for the senate ap
pointment," Dr. Durno stated.

Missile Strength
Increase Studied
Washington-(UPD-The Penta
gon is studying the feasibility
of an 18-per cent increase in
the planned force of Atlas and
Titan intercontinental ballis
tic missiles, it was learned to
day. If approved by the adminis
tration and put up to Con
gress, plans now being exam
ined might call for extra ap
propriations estimated to total
more than $400,000,000.
The total increase in mis
siles would be 42, raising the
force of hydrogen bomb-carrying
rockets from the 270
now planned to 312 by some
time in 1963; The number of
planned missile launchers, in
underground sites, would be
increased from 239 to 281.
Defense Secretary Thomas
S. Gates Jr. touched on the Ait
Force studies at his news con
ference last week. But he re
fused to give any details on
the number of weapons and
mentioned only "certain" At
las squadrons.
Administration's
Proposal Caught
In Crossfire
Washington (DPD House
leaders sought today t6 rescue
the administration's voting
referee plan from a two-way
assault and write it into the
civil rights -bill.
The referee proposal, de
signed to safeguard Negro
voting rights, was caught in a
crossfire from liberal Demo
crats seeking a tougher meas
ure and Southern Democrats
who want to water down the
plan.
In a series of bewildering
votes Tuesday, the House kill
ed the referee proposal and
then revived it. At the end
of the confusing session, the
House was left about where it
started on the civil rights bill.
Join Forces Temporarily
The Southerners joined
forces temporarily Tuesday
with the Northern liberals
and managed to substitute a
stronger Democratic plan for
the administration proposal.
It would have provided for
presidentially appointed en
rollment officers to guarantee
that qualified Negroes could
vote.
But when the substitute had
been adopted, the Southerners
did a quick switch and joined
Republicans in voting down
the entire proposal.
Rep. William M. McCulloch
(R-Ohio), floor leader - of the
administration forces, revived
the referee plan by offering
a new version with only one
paragraph eliminated from
the original proposal.
Overrules Objections
Rep.. Francis E. Walter (D
Pa.), presiding officer, ruled
that the. revised version could
be brought up despite South
ern objections that it was out
of order.
While the House struggled
over the voting rights section,
the Senate talked on in its
fifth week of civil rights de
bate. The Senate is waiting
to act on a House-passed bill.
Brucker Warns on
Soviet Concessions
Ft. Dix, N.J.-Army Secre
tary Wilbur M. Brucker
warned Tuesday against mak
ing concessions to the Soviet
Union which, he said, con
tinues to strive for the elimi
tion of the free world.
Brucker, here to dedicate
the new Walsom Army hospi
tal, took the occasion to warn
that Russian threats had not
diminished but appear to
have intensified.

Bright Little Girl Receives Court
Approval To Stay With Foster Parents
Old Bidge, N.J.-HTD-Alice
Marie Combs, almost five,
runs laughingly to her
father and with a jump she
is in his arms. This sanctu
ary of affection is hers and
she doesn't know she almost
lost it.
Gloria and Richard
Combs are the only parents
Alice has ever known, al
though she was not born to
them. It was a little more
than four years ago. that a
10 - month - old child was
brought to their home to be
cherished as their own.
Warmth and Security
Alice became a friendly,
bright daughter, surround
ed with the warmth and se
curity of the young couple's
love. But state child wel
fare investigators said she
needed more intellectual
surroundings to match the
superior intelligence that
tests had shown she had.
That was two years ago.
The State Child Welfare
Board wanted to take Alice
from the Combs to place her
with different parents. It
was the start of the Combs'
fight to prove love could
conquer statistics. They won
the battle Tuesday.
Scene of Jubilation
The Combs' modest
ranch-style home in Madi
son township was a scene of
jubilation when the Child
Welfare Board -Tuesday re
versed its earlier decision
and gave the Combs permis
sion to adopt Alice.
Alice kissed reporters,
displayed her toys and
romped about with the
Combs' other two daugh
ters, Sheri, 2, and Gail, 15
months.
"I don't know how to
thank e v e r y 0 n e," Mrs.
Combs said. "I have just
been crying with joy."
The Combs had refused to
believe that the foster
daughter they had wrapped
warmly in love could not
develop both in personality
and intellect where she was
so strongly wanted.
Gains World Attention
Their struggle against the
ruling of child welfare of
ficials won attention around
the world. They took the
case to court and lost. It
was appealed to a high tri
bunal where it was under
consideration when the
chi welfare board changed
its decision in a surprise
move.
"With the press and the
public on our side," Combs
said, "I was confident. It
proves we live in a demo
cratic United States and
that the will of the people
will be done."
The Child Welfare Board
said it believed in its origi
nal findings but that it was
better for the child that the
battle cease. Gov. Robert
Meyner agreed.
