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

Claimed Inactive
PORTLAND (UPI) - Young j
Republicans have been "woeful
ly lacking in my constructive ;
political activity in this state for :
some years," the state presi-1
dent of the Young Democratic
Club of Oregon, Mrs. Janet Mc- j
Lennan, charged Tuesday. 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.

Negro colleges the battle was
joined.
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.

a citizen and not as publisher of
the Times and Democrat daily
newspaper here, said "There's
no indication of any yielding"
on the part of the city govern
ment. "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.
