New Orleans Students Asked
To Dress in Mourning for
March on State Legislature
New Orleans -lUPD-Cltlzens'
council leaders urged students
to dress In mourning for their
two integrated schools and
march on the legislature to
day. Hard on the heels of Mayor
dcLcsscps Morrison's nation
ally televised blast at upstate
"demagogues," a move was
undertaken to fill chartered
buses with black-clad children
and go to the Capitol in Ba
ton Rouge.
The black attire was sug
gested "as a symbol of mourn
ing for the two schools and
state sovereignty." The legis
lature Wednesday reconvenes
its special session to fight In
tegration. Cily Gets Breather
A public school vacation
this week is giving the city a
breather while it awaits a rul
ing from three federal judges
on a motion by the local
school board that Integration
be discontinued In the best In
terest of all concerned. '
One of the Judges on the
panel handed -down the order
under which four six-year-old
Negro girls were placed In
two schools where formerly
only whites attended, touch
ing off waves of disorder.
Few Incidents
' Meanwhile police reported
the city relatively calm
through the night except for a
few apparently racial inci
dents. In one, a group of Ne
groes shot at some white teen
agers with a pistol and shot
gun but missed.
A 17-year-old Negro, felled
by police after he slashed a
7-yenr-old white boy and
raved against whites, died
Monday of a wound in the
head. The white child was re
ported In good condition
shortly after the knifing Sul
urtlay.
, Morrison, Interviewed on a
news panel show, said city
nollce needed no outside help
in keeping the lid on any vi

CAMP FIRE LEADER DIES
New York-IUPD-Mrs. R. E

for her work during 26 years
on the national staff of the
Camp Fire Girls before her
retirement in 1949 died Mon
day.

Representatives
In Legislature
Claimed Lacking
Washington tUPD State gov
ernments across , the nation
were deeply concerned today
with a Supreme Court tight
by some Tennesseeans who
sued to get a better break lor
city voters in the state legis
lature. The complainants Included
Mayor Ben West of Nashville.
They said voters in heavily
populated city districts don't
have enough representatives
In the legislature while resi
dents of rural areas have too
many. They want a realign
ment to give city voters more
of a voice in state affairs.
The Supreme Court agreed
Monday to look into the situ
ation. The high court turned
its back on a policy enunci
ated in 1948 that apottion
ment cases are "political" and
thus outside its province.
The far-reaching dispute
came to the court In a term
already replete with signifi
cant cases. Arguments will
not be heard until spring,
probably In April.
The National Institute of
Municipal Law Offices, which
urged the Supreme Court to
hear the case, said "the mu
nicipality of I960 is forced to
function in a horse and buggy
environment where there is
little political recognition of
the heavy demands of an ur
ban population."
Gerrymandering Discussed
Unfair alignment of voting
districts, known as gerryman
dering, also was the subject of
discussion a week ago when
the high court ordered trial
of a Tuskegee, Ala., case.
There the state legislature
had redrawn the city's boun
daries and kept out all but a
handful of Negro voters.
No racial issue was In
volved in the Tennessee case.
Problems of Senior
Citizens To Be Aired
J.' M. Burk, regional direc
tor of the National League of
Senior Citizens, Eugene, will
discuss problems of the elder
ly at a meeting at 1:30 p.m.
Wednesday, Nov. 23, in the
Medford Young Men s Chris-
t i a n association's building
522 West Sixth st.
Burk recently moved to Eu
gene from the national head
quarters in Los Angeles to
make plans for a regional
headquarters at Eugene.
' He said the regional office
will serve the organization's
expanded activities for senior
citizens and promote greater
benefits for the elderly
through a lobby in Salem and
in Washington, D.C.
The Eugene office is part
of an expansion program in
the northwest, which will in
clude Washington, Oregon,
Idaho and Montana.
The talk here on problems
of the senior citizens is one
of several which will be con
ducted by the National
League of Senior Citizens in
the northwest, Burk said.
They are open to the public.
McKinney Author
Of Magazine Article
Ashland Dr. William Mark
McKinney, professor of social
science at Southern Oregon
college, has been notified
that his article, "Geography
and the Social Sciences A
New Approach", will appear
in (he "Journal of Geog
raphy," the official journal of
the National Council of Geo
graphic Education.
The theme of Dr. McKin
ey's article deals with the re
lation of geography to social
science. Previous attempts to
relate geography to social
sciences have overlooked cer
tain points.
According to Dr. McKinney,
social sciences have been in
fluenced by two fields, that
of geography and physiology.
Prior to World War I geog
raphy was heavily stressed,
but subsequently a physiol
ogical influence all but
drowned out geographical
content in social science re
search.
There are recent Indications
that this cycle is nearing its
end and that a more balanced
period may be starting fn the
social sciences.

Warned As Atom
Sub Launched
Groton, Conn. tUPI) Soviet

were warned today that they
would be inviting their own
destruction if they attempted
surprise attack upon this

power," - - -
"Our enemy must know at
all times that we maintain
the certain ability to destroy
him no matter how, or with
what attempt to achieve sur
prise, he might seek to attack
us. We have that capability
now," he said.
Lemnitzer declared that
"the Ethan Allen and the long
line of fleet ballistic sub
marines which follow it -taken
as a part of our over-all
invulnerable retaliatory
forces - give unmistakable
evidence to the world that we
intend to maintain and en
hance that capability in the
future."
