Newspaper Page TextFriday. Mar 10, 1MJ PAGE S A Noise Taped For Future Legislators By ZAN STAKK SALEM IUPII - H may be lhat 13 will come to be known as "Hie year of the noise." "The noise" may plague con stitutional attorneys and legisla tive analyists for decades. "The Noise" is the conversation -muffling, siren - sounding, ear piercing symphony of gasoline powered chain saws at work dis membering trees downed by the 12 Columbus Day storm. Work of clearing the park sur rounding the Capitol Building still is under way. It seemed to start in earnest shortly after the 52nd legislature convened. The racket has been faithfully recorded during testimony hefore virtually every Senate and House Committee. It seems to reach a crescendo during diiscussion of major parts of key legislation. The proceedings of almost every legislative activity are being re corded on tape this session. ' For The Future ' The tailed lecordings will be catalogued and placed with the legislative archives for future generations. Not only the w ords, but the tone in which they were spoken, will help jurists and analyists as they attempt to ucfine the true in tent" of the legislature. But "the noise" may have made many of thess recordings worth less. It is common during committee sessions to have a legislator ex plain "the intent" of a measure. When these recordings are re played, listeners will be treated to something like this: "So there is no confusion, let's explain the intent so it's in the record and there can be no doum of what we had in mind. "Tills measure is intended to (buzz ziztzt' ... it most def initely is not our plan to iBuzj- zzzzi . . . w hich would thwart our intent. "I want to get that in the rec ord so if a court case ever comes up they can play this tape back and kno exactly what we have in mind." "The noise" already has short ened the tempers of many legis 1 a t o r s who lind their words drowned out during committee sessions. Researcher may determine that the wood-sawing in the capi tcil yard has destroyed the effec tiveness o( literally hundreds of tape recordings.

Ala. iVrV This Southern steel cenier has been called the most segregated big city in America. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.. the Negro integrationist, bestowed the title and the Atlanta minister and thousands of his followers are in the midst of a campaign to change it. Negro ieadcrs began planning their massive campaign to break the racial barriers here more than six months ago. One of King's top lieutenants stretched out on his bed in a Negro motel and related the his tory of the South's biggest push for equal rights in history. "The merchants let us down in September," tne Rev. Fred Shut tlesworth said simply. Shuttlesworth, a 46-year-old Bap tist minister, began almost single- handedly in 1955 to break down color barriers here. He has since been arrested 86 times by his own count, been beaten and threatened and has moved his family to Cincinnati. "The downtown i white) mer chants agreed to desegregate lunch counters and other facili ties and upgrade the Negro in his job last September," he said. "But they went back on their word." Troubled. Shuttlesworth and other local Negro leaders contact ed King's Southern Christian leadership Conference, of which Shuttlesworth's Alabama Chris tian Movement for Human Rights is an affiliate. With King and the SCLC's top leaders, Shuttlesworth said. "We decided that since Birmingham was the nation's worst in race relations, we had to go all out. . . with the biggest campaign this nation had seen. There was no use in dealing with the city offi cials. We had to press the busi ness leaders into action." Wyatl Tee Walker, a business like top assistant to King who had planned the strategy used in a long campaign in Albany, (,a . came to Birmingham in Novem ber. 12. "I mapped the city, its stores, its restaurants, the libraries," Walker later related. "In three days of walking around I knew where the luncn counters were in the stores, where the water foun tains wore . . . evervthing." "By January, we had a thick file and a dayJiy-day plan of action," Walker said. Twice the campaign was post poned. The first was a move by sev eral business leaders to change the form of city government and oust the thrcj present commis sioners, viewed as stern segrega tionists who were not willing to negotiate on desegregation. Voters appioved the change from three-man commission to a mayor-council form of govern ment. The second development was a runoff election pitting Commis sioner Eugene iBull) Connor, a strong racist, against more mod crate Albert Boutwell. "We decided to hold off again," Shuttlesworth said. "If we had acted any earlier we would have re-elected Connor as mayor." April 2 was the runoff. Bout- well won by a .sizable margin. The same night, King and his lop aides arrived and the campaign started immediately the following morning and swelled to the big gest movement in Southern his tory. Shuttlesworth said. "Don't get me wrong. I love Birmingham better than any other place on earth. But it's got more hell in its soul than any city I've seen." Almost immediately, the move ment leaders ran into trouble. A. G. Gaston, a Negro millionaire and respected by both white and Negro, denounced the campaign was coming "at the wrong time." Many racial moderates among whites who had been working to ease !00 year old racial problems were dismayed. One. who later worked with a bi racial commit tee on the problem said: "Birmingham's responsible citi zens had been working with local Negro leaders for more than a year when tlrs broke. King de manded immediate concessions under pressure of threats. He almost undid all our wink. About the only areas of this city not strongly segregated are linked with transportation. Bus and airplane terminals were inte grated by an Interstate Com merce Commission ruling. Shuttlesworth and other Negro integrationists filed federal court suits that led to city repeal of an ordinance requiring Negroes to sit on the rear of city buses. He also attempted to enroll his children in the all-white Phillips High School several years ago, and was beaten by a mob of whites on the school steps. He still bears two scars on his face and head from the beating. Other suits in federal courts bogged down in legal maneuvers. In January, the city's municipally owned golf courses. community centers swimming pools and parks were closed when Connor and the other officials were faced with a federal court integration ruling. The parks remained closed, al though several members of the f 925 39 42 TO HONOR POMCEMKM WASHINGTON lUPD - Presi dent Kennedy Monday designat ed May 15 as "Peace Officers Memorial Day." honoring police men w ho have been killed or dis abled in the line of duty.

Ex-Teacher Files Suit A former teacher who was re leased from service, at Fremont School aflcr teaching for less than a week without a formal con tract has named School District No. 1 in a suit to recover the face of the contract she contends was offered. The sum would amount to about $ii,ooo. Koxie H Diver contends that she was made a written offer in Portland last fall by Superintend ent of Schools Ray Hunsaker. llunsakcr said that the teacher was released before the elemen tary board presented the woman with a formal teaching contract. The reasons for the teacher s release are not puhlic informa tion since the school board can meet in executive session to de cide matters pertaining to personnel. King. 34, arrived here four days after the birth of his new- child. The Atlanta minister and author of books dealing with his adopted theory of passive resistance lo segregation began his campaign without much visible backing. "We had no opportunity lo come in and meet with local groups for fear of influencing the election," Walker aid. "We had lo slart cold." Did the resultant record-break ing demonstrations exceed the original plan? Walker says no. "The Negro in Birmingham was ready to burst over segregation," Shuttlesworth said. "All it took was someone to point the w-ay for his energies." The Birmingham campaign, patterned from the year-long Al bany, Ga movement, employed sit-ins, mass marches and other "non-violent" actions King hoped would prod the city into action.
