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.

Currency Change
Nearing Approval
Washlngton-IUPIl - The Sen
ate today was expected to ap
prove and send to the While
House President Kennedy's
1061 proposal to back $1 and
$2 bills with gold reserves in
stead ot silver.
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.

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

' The recommendations for

Hatfield said the Board of

committee's recommended sal

both my approval and encour

is the key in "maintaining
Oregon's competitive position
of quality education."
Hatfield also criticized
Ways and Means cuts in sal

employees. He called it
"false economy" and said the
costs in turnover of state em

savings in salary.

A Chevy n wagon looks this big when you load it up
and this big when you gas it up
That, in the eyes of most Chevy II wagon owners, is just
about the size of it.
A kins-size appetite for cargo. But a dainty one for gas.
And this. ve hardly need add. is just the kind of wagon
we planned it to be. Just the kind of wagon that makes
loads of sense, too, these bright beckoning days when you
feel the urge to pack up and make tracks.
Taut and trim as it is on the outside, we went to great
lengths to keep it BIG where a wagon should be BIG. The.
load platform extends a full nine feet from the back of the
front seat to the tip of the lowered tailgate. Try that on
