Negroes Plan Extensive Voter Sign-Up Campaign Wednesday, April 17, 196 PAGE I B HERALD AND NEWS, Klamath Falls. Ore. BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (LPII-A Negro leader said an intensive voter registration campaign would begin today in this industrial city where 13 days of racial demon strations have brought more than 230 arrests. "Voting is the big ax that Willi chop off the head of that snake i segregation-lor good," said the Bev. K. L. Shuttlesworth. "This lantisegregationi move ment is growing day by day." he said. "We are beginning to work ' on Negro vuter registration and ' there will be mass marches sim ilar to those in Greenwood. Miss." 34 Negroes Arrested There has been a relative quiet in Greenwood recently but Negro folk singer Leon Bibb said in New York Monday he was leaving for Mississippi to join the "front lines" of civil rights battles. A group of 34 Negroes was ar rested Monday night at Knoxvillc, Tcnn., for picketing the City Col- Railroader Runs Amok; Kills Three . NOItTH PLATTE. Neb. UPH- Vinen Hoy Gillott returned to work in Union Pacific's vast rail !" road varris Mnnrlnv from ninr ays of sick leave, foreman Chet 'Mills asked him for a certificate Jrom his doctor. H was a routine request, ' quired by company rules. , But it angered the 6-foot, 180- pound Gillott, a truck driver for , the railroad. ' He yanked a revolver from his 1 pocket and shot Mills, 42, twice ; Then, he wheeled from the , frcighthouse dock and entered the olllces where he gunned down t two more men, killing them both. J,; , Shoots Himself . Muttering that he had been fired, Gillot ran to his parked motor scooter and started to - climb on. He stopped, shot him- self in the back of the head and '"keeled over the scooter back ; wards. He was killed almost im I mediately. Union Pacific officials said Gil lptt had not been fired. They said lliey had no idea why he turned suddenly violent. One of Gillott's .38 caliber bul 'lets went through Mills' back and .punctured both lungs. Another I. struck him in the face and shat tered his jaw, barely missing an artery. '. Condition Critical His physician said Mills' condi- tion was too critical for surgery. He said internal bleeding was se- ,' vere and numerous transfusions - were required. Alter shooting Mills, Gillott killed Eugene Bellows, 42, a time " keeper, with a shot in the back of the head. . Then, he raced down a com j dor to the office of Dale Kceney. 45, the freight agent, and fired j through an open door into Kcen . ey's chesl. iteum where officials were cele brating Knoxville's designation as an "all America city" by Look magazine. The Negroes were charged with parading without a permit and a few with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. One picket's sign said. "Hospitals are segregated in the all-America city." I King Goes On Trial Negro leader Martin Luther King Jr., who kicked off the rac ial demonstrations here April 3. went on trial Monday with 52 other Negroes arrested in a pro test march last Friday. But de fense attorneys asked that the trial be moved to federal court on the ground hal King would not get a fair trial in city court. King was returned to jail pend ing federal court action on the motion. King's wife said in Atlanta Mon day night that President Kennedy had assured "me of my husband s safety." Mrs. King said she tele phoned the President after she had not heard from King since his arrest. " i" 1H1 b. Hit, w T.KL R. U t. !. I'l Cancer Said Leading Killer Of School Children "They must have radar vision What is the leading cause of death from disease among school children? Few people are aware that the leading killer is cancer. The statistics notwithstanding, the American Cancer Society be lieves that greater education among parents and broader appli cation by physicians of knowledge now possessed could cut down the growing number of deaths from cancer in children. M r s. John Dickinson, publicity chair man of the local chapter of the American Cancer Society, report ed Monday. April has been designated as the' month when the American Cancer Society will receive dona tions for its annual nationwide fund drive. The American Cancer Society reports that last year some 4,700 children under the age of 13 died of cancer. "From 1934 to 1959. deaths from cancer in children increased from 5.2 (or each 100.000 popu lation to 8 1," the ACS reported. The increase is due in part to the survival of mapy children who might have died from some other disease, such as diphtheria or smallpox, not so long ago. A number of children's diseases. other than cancer, have been con trolled. But some 4.800 children will die of cancer in 1963, if death rates follow present trends. The ACS pointed out that one of the problems of dealing with cancer in children is the "un happy fact that too many child hood tumors are treated too late." An increasing number of 5, 10 and 20-year and even lifetime survivals show that treatment when started early can often ex tend one's longevity. Can the survival rate be in creased? The ACS says it can. Education can help. A great many parents are no longer Ig norant of the fact that children as well as adults mav have can cer. "But too often todav we hear, the remark 'I did not know my child could have cancer.' If more parents realized that chil dren mav have cancer, just as adults do, and acted promptly in seeking medical advice more children could be saved. The ACS said that improved techniques in radiology and sur gery "ofler a child with cancer new opportunities tor survival and possible cure."

Progressive ?Tax Studied SALEM (UPD A progressive . rate structure w ith a top rate of six per cent, designed to raise about S3 million, was proposed today by a subcommittee of the i House Tax Committee. The committee already has adopted an overall program call-' jng for a flat rate on all earned w income above $500. Oregon's pi es l ent top rate is 9.5 per cent. The subcommittee also recom i mended that the one per cent net -receipts tax apply to the first "l JI6.0O0 of income, instead of the ; first $15,000 as originally proposed "i by the full committee. Another subcommittee recom 'Emendation was a $22 tax credit, ' instead of the $20 recommended .by the full committee. This would replace the present $600 personal and dependency cNcmption. The subcommittee proposed I rates w hich w ould range from one per cent on income up to $500. to 6 per cent on all income over $14,000. ft TRY IT AT THE LUCCA CAFE World Fomoui-Diliciaui BROASTED CHICKEN PIZZA PIE Orders to Go, Too LUCCA CAFE PHONE TU 4-3276 2354 S. 6th Live Better Electrically With PP 's New Reduced Rates!

"But there is hope," the ACS said. "Newly developed drugs make it possible to extend the lives of many leukemia patients from mouths to years of useful life. There is growing evidence that viruses are a possible caue of leukemia. If this is proved, then a vaccine may be developed." The American Cancer Society is the leading voluntary health agency fighting leukemia and oth er childhood cancers. Urging the public to support the society's crusade, it states, "There can be no slackening of effort now. The more funds that are made avail able, the sooner the problem of cancer in children will be solved." SoAiSMs PHARMACY nnm wyL-w j vw LJ Starts Tomorrow! Here if is!
