S. Ambassador to India, sending the controversial diplomat-politician back to the post he filled 10 years ago. Bowles will succeed eco nomist and writer John Ken nelh Galbraith, who is return ing to his old teaching post at Harvard university in June. Galbraith, like Bowles an ex pert on India, has been U.S. Ambassador in New Delhi since President Kennedy took office.

Ala. - 0JPP -About Forty - two hymn-singing Negroes dropped to their knees on the sidewalk In pray er Saturday when police halt ed their segregation protest march on city hall. All were arrested and charged with pa rading without a permit. The Negroes, led by Rev. F, L. Shuttlesworth. were crammed into two waiting pad dy wagons for the ride to the jail. One of the vans was so crowded it took four officers to close the door. Renewed Drive Nearly 70 demonstrators have been arrested since Dr. Martin Luther King of At lanta kicked off a renewed desegregation drive in this steel center four days ago. He said the protests will contin ue until integration demands are met. At a mass meeting at a Ne gro church Saturday night, Negro leaders planned "kneel ins" in white Birmingham churches today, and another "prayer pilgrimmage" on city hall in the afternoon. King showed up at the meeting, attended by an es timated 500 Negroes, dressed in a white shirt and new blue overalls. "This is my outfit a.s long as we have this trou ble here," he said. Just The Beginning "I tell you, we're just get ting .started," he said. "Ralph Aberncthy (one of his lieu tenants) hasn't been to jail yet. Martin Luther King hasn't been to jail yet." Named to lead today's dem onstrations were King's broth er, A. D. Kins, pastor of a local church, and two other ministers, Nelson Smith and John Porter. In contrast to the stepped up intcgrationisl activity in Birmingham Greenwood, Miss,, scene of repeated pro test marches during the past week and a half, was quiet Saturday. Negro comedian Dick Greg ory and other outside lead ers of the Greenwood voter registration drive left the delta city Saturday. They said they thought they had accomplished as rriuch as pos sihlp at this time. NEWS(&BRIEFS fflMS FROM WtJ AaOUND THI O10M HEAVY FIGHTING RAGES IN LAOS Vieniisne.

Bowles first lour of duty in India was during the Tru man administration, in 1951 53. Big, easy-going and infor mal, lie was extremely popu lar with the Indian people. However, some Indian off i- jcials have said they now felt that a more conservative en- ; voy would do them more good because he would have more influence in Washing ton. Bowles' relations with Kennedy have been somewhat stormy. During the 1960 Presiden tial campaign, Bowles' name was sometimes mentioned as a possible choice for secre tary of state. He was, instead, appointed an undersecretary. Shifted Around Then on Nov. b 1961, he and a number of Stale De partment officials were shift ed around, following a spate of reports that the President was unhappy with Bowles. He was named Kennedy's special adviser on undevel oped areas, and has spent I much time traveling in Asia, Africa and Latin America since then. It has been reported thpt Bowles had decided to resign from the government unless he was given some other po sition than the one he has been occupying. 'His appointment as ambas sador must be confirmed by the Senate, but no trouble expected. He was confirm cd for the undersecretary job in January. 1961, with no re corded opposition in either the Foreign Relations commit tee or on the Senate floor.

Gets Away With $1, A man who appeared to be a shoplifter at the Groceteria Super Market Friday night turned out to be an armed robber as he held up two clerks for $1,800 at their check stands. Medford police, who were alerted shortly after 9 p.m., a few minutes after the rob bery, were busy Friday night and Saturday checking sus pects. Officers ask that anyone who was in or around the store between 8 and 9 p.m. Friday to contact the police department. Officers are par ticularly anxious to question the couple who checked out a large order of groceries while a young man (the rob ber) was waiting to buy some cigarettes. Drew Pistol According to a witness, Jer ry N. Kucera, acting store manager Friday, was check ing out shoppers just before store closing time. One cou ple, who were buying a large amount of groceries, motion ed a young man who appar ently was waiting to buy cig arettes to go ahead of them. However, he waited. Then, when all other shop pers were out of the store, the man drew a hammcrless chrome-plated pistol and or dered Kucera to put all of his checkstand currency in a pa per bag. He then ordered Kucera to pass the bag to Darrell Mitchell, 508 South Grape St.. at an adjoining sland to add his cashrcgistcr money. At gun point, the tall, neat ly dressed young man ordered the clerks who were all at the front of the store to group together at one spot. Anoth er clerk, Dave Morris, was directed to check the door leading to the parking lot, then hold it open. None of the clerks heard or saw a car leave. Suspicious About 8:30 p.m , Friday they had seen the young man lurking suspiciously nea the bread .shelves. A clerk went upstairs to the office where ; he could look down on the store, but after a short time I came downstairs, since no at j tempt was made to take any 1 thing. One clerk described the : robber as about 20 to 21 years old, six feet tall, with short J brown hair, and wearinR a : Dluish-gray pullover sweater ind white Levi pants. He did , not try to mask his face, but j the clerk was unable to de- scr be his features.

War S iTr the Russians Say Lunik Rocket Missed Moon By 5,270 Miles Moscow -0IPD- The Soviet Union said Saturday its Lunik-IV rocket missed the moon by 5,270 miles, swung around in a sweeping curve and is now en route back to orbit the earth. Sir Bernard Lovcll. direc- j tor of Britain's Jodrell Bank tracking station, said he was j "quite certain something went wrong' with the moon probe but he did not elaborate. The official Tass news agen cy said the lVa-ton rocket col lected a "vast amount of ma terial" which would be of use in manned flight to the moon but it did not elaborate either.

Much of the talk will be on the Mt. Ashland ski and summer recreation area de velopment, Wicse said. Parks and Recreation Dircc- -tor Neil Lcdward reported so lvere winds recently again broke and .scattered docks at the Howard Prairie boat ba j sin. He suggested a breakwa ter be constructed around the j docks or a new sheltered boat j basin be found to prevent the j recurring problem. Good float I logs are hard to find, he add ed. ; Trees Knocked Down The wind has knocked ! down a few more trees in the recreation area, mostly white i fir with heart rot, Ledward '. said. A man has been cutting ; wood up there to get downed logs out of the camp grounds and picnic areas, Ledward re- ( i ported. Seasonal labor funds are being used now. At Emigrant lake, boat docks have been anchored at the new area viewed by the park commission on Sunday, Feb. 17. The 55 miles per hour winds there recently hardly affected the docks al though there were three foot waves on the rest of the lake. The road department has redone the main road within the Emigrant recreation area. The new coat of granite in cludes the hill grade at the entrance. Roads will be oiled later. Several reports have been made to the state police and sheriff's office on people shooting within the area, but this has not stopped it, Lcd ward said. Signs have been erected.

Mos cow never confirmed the re ports. Moscow radio said Saturday Damage I lives, the county parks direc tor reported. "There has been consider able misunderstanding as to where the closure limits are on the various lakes and res ervoirs," Ledward noted. "Howard Prairie is open a month before streams, and Emigrant is open the year around, lt is difficult to tell where the stream ends and the lake begins. If running water is visible it is consid ered a stream. Since these reservoirs are fluctuating con tinually and stream inflow varies all the time the line of demarcation is difficult to dis cern. It has been recommend ed we write to Schnieder re questing definite limits he set." A field crew has started clearing brush at Savage creek prior to placing picnic tables. The area under con struction was sprayed to erad icate undesirable plant mate rials such as poison oak and black berries last year. Re sults appear good, Ledward concluded. 2 File For Medford School Board Post Two persons have filed for school board member in School District 540C.
