Beauty Shop Ads Called Violation SALEM (UPI)-A check book form of beauty school and beauty shop advertising violates the state's cosmetic therapy law, Atty. Gen. Robert Y. Thornton said today. He said the check books have the effect of offering cut-rate beauty services. The check books are sold by direct radio advertising. To get a book, some simple question has to be answered. Checks are issued in a certain amount of value to be used in reducing the regular price of beauty serv ices, Thornton said. Anger, Hostility Show Through Charm of South Carolina City ORANGEBURG. S.C. (UPD- Orangeburg is a city with anger and hostility showing through its southern charm. The overwhelming majority of its white residents feel that the Negroes who comprise 60 per cent of a population of 14,000 are pushing too hard for too much at one time. The Negroes contend the de segregation they are asking is too little, too late and that white Udders are putting them off. Tension smoulders beneath the outward anger. It hangs heavy over the pleasant town which prides itself in its beautiful gar dens of azaleas, its conservatism and the new Smith-Corona-Marchant plant which manufac tures calculating equipment. Almost Bypassed Orangeburg almost was by passed in the civil rights revolu tion that swept much of the South during the summer. When autumn came, and while racial calm settled over other cities in South Carolina and the southland, Orangeburg's trou bles burst into the open. It came with the opening of school. The city has two Negro col legesSouth Carolina State with 1,400 students and Methodist supported Claflin college with 475. In a week of downtown pro test demonstrations, more than 1,300 Negroes have been arrest ed and a majority of them have been college students. Class rooms were virtually deserted at the two schools. The end is not in sight. White leaders have given no indication they will bow to Ne gro demands for desegregation of public facilities, Main street eating places, better job oppor tunities and integration of the local hospital. Dr. Charles H. Thomas, a pro fessor at South Caroline State and a leader of the Negro Or angeburg Movement, believes that even a token step toward desegregation would be prog ress. "It cannot be a step back wards," he says. "It must be going toward some future goal." Thomas feels if one merchant on Main street would break ranks and end desegregation in his store, others would follow. A survey of these merchants indicates Thomas is wrong. No one appears ready to break the solid rank although a Negro boy cott is beginning to pinch. "If we start bowing to those colored people, we'll lose our white business. Some of the white ladies already are keeping away from Main street," one white merchant said. Problem Cities Listed South Carolina Negro leaders last spring drew up a list of cities in the state in which they expected to see racial progress. Otherwise, they said, "action" would be taken. Included on the list were Co lumbia, Charlcstown, Florence, Greenville, Spartanburg, Rock Hill, Sumter and Orangeburg. Some progress in desegrega tion was made within weeks in all of the cities except one Orangeburg in the so-called "low country" 40 miles south of Co lumbia. There was periodic picketing in the downtown area during the summer. It was virtually un noticed. With the re-opening of the two TIME TO PLANT G MMiM: I SAVE NOW AT THESE SPECIAL PRICES!

I She said the Republican group failed to back the legislative ! tax measure, and opposed the public accommodations provi-1 sions in the President's pro posed civil rights legislation. "When the commui.ily teems with issues that demand imagi- native concern and hard work, the Young Republicans bestir i themselves only to pass resolu tions about other resolutions," she charged.

Local police, backed by doz ens of state highway patrolmen, have made mass arrests almost daily as the protest marches headed toward tne downtown area. The local jail was quickly filled and the overflow of pris oners was sent to nearby towns or the state prison in Columbia. At a meeting the night of Aug. 20, the city council voted to give Mayor Clyde Fair au thority to name a bi-rarial com mittee to study the Negro re quests, To date, Fair has not done so. Willing To Serve At least two white men said in interviews they would be willing to serve, if only to do their duty to the town. One of the men was a young attorney and a leader of the John Birch society, whose billboards "Im peach Earl Warren" stand in the farming country around Or angeburg. Mayor Fair will not discuss the situation with newsmen. His answer to every question is "no comment." A friend says the mayor feels he has been mis treated in print. The city council feels it has no legal right to legislate or suggest to merchants who they can trade with or on what basis. One councilman said the coun cil felt the Negro demands were "just too out of reason. "The probability of trouble de pends on how determined the Negro leaders are," he said.

"The Negro face total oppo sition," he said. "There is total defiance of the law enforcement structure by the Negro demonstrations," he said. "When you spit in a po liceman's face, you're reaching anarchy." Dr. Thomas answers: "We have complete distrust, no faith at all that they (white leaders) are working in good faith. It's impossible to keep this county segregated. They must realize this." Is there an answer? City Administrator Alec Brown feels that a "cooling off period" is necessary before white lead ers will be willing to sit down and discuss the problem. Some sort of bi-racial commit tee could lead to an easing of tension. So far, despite several meetings of Negro leaders with Woman Bound Over To Malheur Jury VALE, Ore. (UPI) - Judge Mary Graham has bound Mary Rita Stark, Phoenix, Ariz., over to the Malheur County grand jury on a manslaughter charge. The action came following a preliminary hearing. Mrs. Stark is accused in connection with the shooting death several weeks ago of Tom Goodwin, Vale. She was jailed in lieu of $2,000 bond. Originally Mrs. . Stark was charged with second - degree murder. Brown and City Attorney Hugo Sims, no progress has been made. There have been no outbreaks of violence. Fire hoses have been unrolled but never used against the demonstrators, marching and singing "free dom" songs and vowing they will return again and again. Influential leaders on both sides feel that things will grow worse before they improve. Incomplete Voter Figures Compiled SALEM (UPI) Registration for 34 of Oregon's 36 counties totals 728,335 for the Oct. 15 special election, and figures for Klamath and Lincoln counties should up this total to about 758,000. Figures on file with the sec retary of state for the 34 coun ties which already have report ed show 383,568 Democrats, 333, 907 Republicans, and 10,860 oth ers registered and eligible to vote. Klamath county, which in 1962 had 20,469 registered voters, and Lincoln county, which in 1962 had 12,402, had not yet submit ted reports of their new totals. Of the 34 counties reporting, all showed registration declines except Sherman which recorded a slight gain. In 1062 the figures for all 36 counties were 473,561 Demo crats, 395,351 Republicans, and 14,788 others for a total regis tration of 883,690. This indicates total registra tion for next Tuesday's election will be about 125,000 below the 1962 figure. SAVE WITH A H0MEF000 FREEZER! 1800 mm STEAKS AT STAKE !
