grades one through 12 and, al

for the Justice Department said
Wallace's moves were being
watched closely.
Wallace said he acted ' to
"preserve the peace and main
tain domestic tranquility and to
protect the lives and property
of all citizens of Alabama."
Last June, he defiantly chal
lenged a federal court to ad

Day Messages
Washington (UPD Union
leaders and government offi
cials today observed Labor Day
with new demands for equal job
opportunity for Negroes and ac
tion to combat chronic unem
ployment.
Labor Secretary W. Willard
Wirtz appealed to organized la
bor to help finish by next La
bor Day "this matching of what
we are doing with what we have
been saying about equal job
opportunities.
AFL-CIO President George
Meany urged the administration
and Congress to take more ac
tion to create jobs for the un
employed. He said "joblessness
aggravates race discrimination
and race discrimination weak
ens the economy."
Called Immoral
In another Labor Day state
ment. James B. Carey, an AFL-
CIO vice president and head of
the International Union of Elec
trical Workers, said white south
ern workers, competing for too
few jobs, are barring Negroes
from union activities. He called
this "just as immoral as the
Berlin wall."
Meany said he was shocked
by "the lack of meaningful ac
tion or any visible sense ot ur
gency" in Washington about the
nation's steady unemployment
rate of more than 5 per cent of
the labor force.
Unless there are jobs avail
able," he said, "equality of op
portunity is meaningless."
Theh AFL-CIO leader press
ed for a basic 35-hour work
week, a tax cut, pay increases
and broader social security
benefits.

Tension Eases
After Two Days
Of Destruction
State Policemen
Suffer Injuries
Seaside (UPD An estimated
2,000 young rioters began head
ing for home today after two
days of violent outbreaks in this
coastal resort town.
The tension appeared to ease
after three destruction-filled in
cidents Saturday and Sunday
caused hundreds of dollars in
damage and resulted in injuries
to two slate policemen.
Four National Guardsmen re
mained on guard a! a Pacific
Power and Light Co. substation
after rioters attempted to wreck
it Sunday night. Elsewhere, win
dows were smashed, benches
broken, a lifeguard tower torn
down, and street and shop signs
destroyed.
Better Organized
Police said the rioting was
more violent and better organ
ized than that which shocked
the area last Labor Day.
State policeman Kenneth
Lampkin was injured when hit
on the head with a sand-filled
beer bottle. Patrolman Hal
Cianni was cut on the hand by
a flying rock.
At one point, a policeman lost
his gun when he was knocked
down in a scuffle. Authorities
quickly brought in jeeps and
trained their headlights on tha
spot until the weapon was re
covered.
Many Arrested
At least 46 arrests were made
since start of the week end.
All liquor and beer sales from
Cannon Beach, 5 miles south, to
the Astoria city limits, 20 miles
to the north, were halted. Take
home beer sales were stopped
in Astoria.
Club swinging police, reinforc
ed by a state police riot squad,
kept the situation from getting
completely out of hand. But the.
youths, many of high school age
and m a n y wearing college
sweaters time and again re
formed to create new disturb
ances. The trouble broke out about
midnight Saturday after it ap
peared for a while that this
coastal resort' town of 3,877
might escape the rioting which
resulted in many injuries and
125 arrests a year ago.
Youths broke from the beach
area and carried an 18-foot life
guard tower down main street.
Local police and vo untoer
firemen put down this disturb
ance in about 45 minutes. Extra
state police were rushed in and
the National Guard was alerted.
Tension mounted Sunday as
the town filled with an esti
mated 2.000 youths.
A National Guard unit was
placed on rooftops.
Authorities herded the crowd
back to the beach after face-to-face
taunting for more than an
hour. But the youths began con
gregating again after darkness
fell Sunday night.
Then, the worst ot this year's
rioting occurred as rocks and
bottles were hurled and many
youths broke into town. Win
dows were broken in a bank, tha
post office and a furniture
store.
State Police Supt. H. G. Mai
son who rushed here early Sun
day with Warne Nunn, Gov.
Mark Hatfield's administrative
assistant, directed a force which
drove the youths back to tho
beach, and split them into
pockets.
Some of those arrested worn
picked up before the rioting
started on charges of illegal
possession of alcohol. Many
were arrested for disorderly
