President Names
Chester Bowles
India Ambassador
Washington- lUPt -President
Kennedy announced Saturday
he is naming Chester Bowles
as U. 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.
The President said in a
statement announcing his
choice of Bowles that "No
American has a deeper under
standing of India and Asia.
A decade ago. he was a pio

42 In Negro
Protest March
Are Arrested
Birmingham. 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.

derstandmg between India
and the United States."
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.

Youth Holds Up
Groceteria. 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

scr be his features.

"Howard Prairie is open a
