ourt Decision Leaves Issue Raised by Cases Undecided Right To Choose Customers Left To Future Term Washlngton-IUPIl - The Su. preme Court ha momentar fly removed the sting from Southern lit-In prosecutions, but the great issue posed by the cases remains undecided. It is: Does a business estab lishment open to the general public have a right to choose ' its own customers? This blockbuster waa re served by the court at least until next term. It could be speculated that " the the short step the court took Monday was all it felt - the country could stand in ' view of current racial unrest. But the truth is that no one ..but the nine justices know - .why they do things, and they J aren't telling. ''Overturns Convictions " The court overturned tres spass and criminal mischief convictions in four lunch 7 counter cases on the ground , that local governments not "storekeeper were actually -lo blame for the racial dis- crimination. The ruling had the peculiar 'result of barring discrlmina J'tion in cities where there are ..local ordinances requiring segregation, and leaving the whole matter up in the air In cities which do not have such ordinances. The suggestion waa made during November arguments that a decision like Monday's might well result in a rush to get such ordinances off the books. Jui'.lc Harlan Dissents Only Justice John M. Har lan dissented from the court's reasoning in the sit-in cases. He said: "Freedom of the individual to choose his associates or his neighbors, to use and dispose of his property as he sees fit, to be irrational, arbitrary, capricious, even unjust in his personal relations are things all entitled to a' large measure by protection from govern mental interference." Harlan said the mere exis tence of ordinances requiring segregation in public eating places did not remove the businessman from the sphere of private choice. He said it should be shown in each case whether the proprietor was motivated by the ordinance or by some purpose of his own. A case argued last fall first pinpointed the rights of the operator of a private business. It concerned five Negroes who insisted on riding the carousel In privately operated Glen Echo Amusement Park in Montgomery county, Md. The course announced Mon day that the case would be re argued some time during the term starting next October. Mt. Everest Conquerer Without Oxygen for 3V& Hours Katmandu, Nepal - IUPH -James W. Whittaker, iirst American to conquer Mt. Ev erest, had to struggle down from the world s highest peak for three and a half hours without oxygen, he disclosed Monday. Whittaker, 32, Red m o n d, Wash., was accompanied by Neaplese Shcrpa guide No wang Gombu on the success ful summit assault May 1. Details of the climb were made known in Whittaker's first radio expedition on the slopes of the 20,028-foot peak. The broadcast also brought word that a five-man team at tempting to scale the unex plored west ridge of Mt. Ev erest would be "very, very lucky" to reach the summit but another team was pro ceeding on schedule by the relatively familiar south col route. The two teams had hoped to meet at the summit Wednesday. Storms slowed the west ridge team, scattered its equipment and nearly swept away two of its mem bers. Whittaker and Gombu car ried special new lightweight oxygen tanks on their climb into the rarefied atmosphere on the windswept peak, but apparently exhausted their supply on the way to the top. "We were without oxygen from the summit until we reached our camp, about three and a half hours," Whittaker said. He said the wind was so strong at the peak that he and Gombu could hardly speak to each other. "There was no communica tion other than by jerks of the rope," he said. Whittaker said he and Gom bu reached the summit side by side and remained there aDout 20 minutes. It was previously reported they had spent a half hour on the peak. "I was so busy I did not check my watch all the time," he said. He said he drove a four-foot aluminum pole bearing the American flag Into the snow "at the highest point of Ev erest." "The flag was unfurled and flying in the high wind," he said. There was no sign of a bust of Communist Chinese party leader Mao Tze-tung at the summit, Whittaker said. A Chinese team claimed it scaled the peak In 1960 and left the bust there. Whittaker said it might have been lodged among rocks just below the summit on the Tibetan side, where he did not venture. Barry C. Bishop, 30, Wash ington, and Luther G. Jerstad. 26, Eugene, Ore., were report ed following the route of Whittaker and Gorribu through the south col in good weather today, with a good chance of reaching the sum mit sometime Wednesday. The National Geographic Society in Washington said James B. Corbet, 26, Jackson, Wyo., and Allen C. Aden, 36, Denver, along with four Sher pa guides, spent last Thurs day night clinging to the edge of a crevasse while being buf feted by 80 mile . an hour winds. The men had slid 100 feet down the ridge during a storm that blew away their tents. They were pulled to safety unhurt by another member of the team who had inched down from a higher camp.

It waa the second record in as many trips for the Presi dent's Boeing 707. On the trip to Moscow from Wash ington Sunday, the Jet, piloted by Col. James B. Swindal, 46, set a trip record of 8 hours, 38 minutes and 42 seconds.

Under the House-passed bill the Treasury would gradually withdraw present $1 and $2 bills, now backed by silver, and replace them with Fed eral Reserve notes. The change was proposed because the use of silver is exceeding production and the price is going up. The demand tor sliver coins is also increas ing due to the expanding economy and the increased use of coin-operated vending machines. Under the proposed change, il would no longer be neces sary to buy silver to back $1 and $2 bills, and the govern ment can use the supply of silver on hand to make coins for many years. The Treasury now owns 1,600,000 ounces ot silver. The new Federal Reserve notes would be backed by !5 per cent gold reserve. Hatfield Facing Busy Schedule Salem . lUPH - Gov.

Tax Reform, Better Pay for College Teachers Given High Place by Hatfield Saiem-HJPD-Gov. Mark Hat. field gave high priority to tax reform and better pay for college teachers Monday as the 1963 legislature started on what may be its final week. Hatfield warned that fail ure to reform the tax struc ture would do "more to en hance the cause of sales tax supporters than any other ac tion that could be commit ted." And, he said, unless more money is provided for the fac ulty in the state system of higher education, the quality of education will be seriously threatened. The legislature's tax pro gram now is in a conference committee. Speaking at his weekly news conference, Hatfield stressed the importance of a base-broadening income tax feature, to pick up new tax payers. Only scraps of his own income tax plan remain in the latest proposals. "I want to make it clear I will look at any program ob jectively," he said. Asked whether he might veto a distasteful plan, he said: "It's an alternative, cer tainly not one I wouid relish . . . I don't think the taxpay ers would either." He said because the legisla ture has waited until the "last dying moments," a veto Regional Edition Medford Page 2A Wtribune MEDFORD, OREGON, TUESDAY, MAY 21, 1963 would pose the problem of special session. v ' The recommendations for higher education are being handled by the Ways and Means committee, and still faced floor action in both houses. Hatfield said the Board of the legislature increase the committee's recommended sal ary figure by $1 million "has both my approval and encour agement." Hatfield said a good faculty is the key in "maintaining Oregon's competitive position of quality education." Hatfield also criticized Ways and Means cuts in sal ary increase' money for state employees. He called it "false economy" and said the costs in turnover of state em ployees are greater than the savings in salary. Richard M. Emerson, 37, Cin. cinnati, set Out on a recon naissance climb today, ac cording to radio reports from the base camp. They were at tempting to establish Advance Camp 5W as close to the sum. mit as possible. Dr. William Unsoeld, 36, Corvallis, Ore., and Dr. Thom as F. Hornbein, 32, San Diego, planned to follow three hours later, saving their strength for the summit assault they hoped to make.
