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.

BIRMINGHAM. 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

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.
