Hear Jiot, Compromise
ark Effort of Negroes
Fire Hoses Used
OA Students in
Marshall, Tex.
By United Prass International
The second full month of
a concerted Negro campaign
to integrate lmnch counter fa
cilities in the South ended
today with a near riot in
Texas and a cautious compro
mise in North Carolina.
Police .turned fire hoses on
150 Negro demonstrators at
Marshall, Tex.," Wednesday;
about 5,000 Negro students
marched on the Louisiana
state capital of Baton Rogue
to sing and pray; 200 whites
and Negroes, held a prayer
meeting of "dissatisfaction"
outside the mayor's office at
Nashville, .Tenn., .
The demonstrations, which
in two months have occurred
in every Southern state except
Mississippi, began Feb. 1 at
Greensboro, N. C. The first
major compromise . proposal
was reported today at High
Poinf,' N. C, just a few miles
from where the campaign
began.
Sets Trial Period
Mayor Jesse Washburn of
High Point said his "human
relations committee" has pro
posed cthat lunch counter fa
cilities in High Point stores be
integrated for a 60-day trial
0 period during which police
remain vigilant to break up
any demonstration that could
lead to violence.
. The president of North
Carolina A&T College at
Greensboro, whose students
began the drive for integra
tion of lunch counters by tak
ing seats customarily reserv
ed for whites, told college
trustees Wednesday that his
students have been. well be
haved, respectful and peace
ful. Basic Interests
But President Warmoth T.
Gibbs added that the students
feel they have basic interests
at stake and "threats of ar
rest or intimidation do Hot
seem tfl deter them."
The prayer session at the
office .of Nashvilleif Tenn.,
Mayor Ben West was a pro-
test against slow progress of
the mayor's bi-racial commit
tee named to find a solution
In Nashville where scores of
Negroes were arrested. Police
did not interfere.
Use Fire Hoses
At Marshall, Tex., where
65 per cent of the 35,000
population is Negro, students
from Wiley and Bishop col
leges turned out in force to
protest the arrest of about 60
lunch counter demonstrators.
Police drove 150 back with
fire-hoses and broke up an
other group singing and pray
ing at the courthouse.
Students at Southern Uni
versity near Baton Rogue, La.,
suddenly walked out of class
Wednesday at a prearranged
signal and marched to the
city's business district and up
to the capitol steps. The dem
onstration ended within an
hour, but 18 students were
suspended or expelled for
taking part.
In Washington, Dr. Buell
G. Gallagher, president of
the City College of New York,
praised young Southern Ne
groes for the campaign and
predicted that soon "there
will not be a single segregated
school in any corner of 'this
country."

Youth Conference
May Co n t ra d ic t Aid
To Education Stand
Washington (UPD Presi
dent Eisenhower today faced
the prospect that his White
House youth conference might
contradict him by coming out
strongly for federal aid to
education.
: The 7,200 conference dele
gates, who came here at the
President's invitation to assess
the needs and problems of
American youth, were sched
uled to begin voting this af
ternoon on their formal rec
ommendations. Proposals Not Binding
Their proposals will not be
binding tin anyone. But they
will carry moral and political
weight as expressions from a
broad cross - section of the
American public, including
representatives of all states
and territories.
Powerful support was build
ing up for a resolution call
ing for a "massive infusion of
federal funds" to strengthen
the U.S. school system.
The resolution would en
dorse "the principle of fed
eral support" of education,
not as a temporary emergency
measure, but as a continuing
responsibility. This is direct
ly at variance with the President's-position
that financing
schools is primarily a state
and local job.
Not Kick in Teeth
'tWe don't intend this as a
kick in the teeth to the admin
istration," said Mrs. Allen An
thony, a Little Rock, Ark.,
school teacher. "But if it
takes a kick in the teeth, let's
kick. We've been quiet long
enough." ' .

eral communications commis

Movies, Video
Said Threat To
Unstable Child
Washington-flJPD-A Seattle,
Wash., educator says there is
evidence that the emotionally
unstable child may be influ
enced by crime, passion and
violence he sees in movies
and on television.
Dr. Chester Babcock, execu
tive director of Seattle public
school instruction, said Wed
nesday there was no conclu
sive evidence that TV and
comic books affect a normal
child's behavior.
But, he remarked, "to argue
that television does not influ
ence the viewer to some ex
tent is to "indulge in the wild
est kind of contradiction."
Television Influence y
He said "If it doesn't. in
fluence then the nation's ad
vertisers are pouring millions
down the rathole. Our busi
nessmen are too smart for
that." '
Babcock was the windup
speaker on the mass media
forum at the White House
Conference on Children and
Youth. Related workshops dis
cussed the effects of radio and
TV, newspapers, paperbacks
and movies on youth. .
Television was one of the
most controversial issues.
Dr. Frances R. Horwich of
the Ding Dong School TV pro
gram insisted television could
not be blamed for "all the un
fortunate things happening to
children in the United States."
Potent Communication
She said TV was the most
potent form of communication
and that it was the combined
responsbility of the home,
school, church and communi
ty to oversee proper use of
TV.
She called for a study by
the TV industry of its com
mercials, which she said were'
used to "exploit" children to
sell products.
She and the other speakers
agreed that parents must
guide children's TV viewing
habits. Babcock said the num
ber of hours a child watched
television and his taste in pro
grams was directly influenced
by the number of hours his
parents watched TV and the
type of programs they select.

Census Bureau
Has Ground Rules
Washington - (UPD - Being
counted in the 1960 census
sometimes will be decided by
a matter of minutes.
Babies who are born two
minutes after midnight to
night won't be counted offi
cially by Uncle Sam until they
are 10 years old. That would
be in the 1970 census.
But anyone who dies after
12:01 a.m. local time Friday
will be considered part of the
population for the next dec
ade. Census Bureau officials
have issued these ground rules
to guide the 160,000 persons
who will make the most ex
pensive and speediest count
of the U.S. population.
They explained that the
census must provide a statisti
cal "snapshot" at a given mo
ment. And 12:01 a.m., Friday
is that moment.
Actually, enumerators will
begin the census tonight,
when they count persons in
hotels and motels with more,
than 50 rooms. The so-called
"T-night" will encompass both
transient and permanent
guests.

Helps Cook Pizza

winds, swooped low over the
dark waters dropping three
minute magnesium flares that
gave off an eerie glow.
The . Air Force said the
tanker was en route from
Ernest Harmon Air Force
Base, Newfoundland, to Mac
Dill AFB.
