Back in the 5th century B.C., Euripides wrote: "The gods visit the sins of the fathers upon the children." The fathers of the present gen eration in the Deep South, which includes Alabama, brought black men and women, in chains, from Africa to America, to be SLAVES. Euripides was right.

From Brisbane, Australia: A petite American wife who quit the kitchen for the air ten years ago landed in Brisbane in a light plane Sunday night, rje coming the first woman to fly alone across the Pacific from Cal ifornia. Freckle-faced, 36-ycar-old Betty Miller left Oakland on April 30, flying alone in the twin-engined plane that her husband had taught her to fly. A stunt? Not exactly. " She was ferrying The plane "fe its new owner -in Australia, So she regarded it as a strictly busi ness enterprise. Her total elapsed flying time was 54 hours and eight minutes. When she stepped out of the cockpit in a pink and white checkered frock she re ported that the only time she was really worried was when she had lo make it half-way to Honolulu or TURN BACK in order to k e e p from running out of fuel. She had another little flurry of excitement when, about halfway to Brisbane, a storm approaching cyclone proportions loomed in her path. She turned back and landed in New Caledonia to give the storm time to blow itself out.

(UPI) Combat equipped fed eral troops on orders from President Kennedy today moved into jumpoff position south of this industrial city where heavily-armed state police vowed to prevent any further outbreak of racial rioting. Huge Air Force transport planes began landing the troops at Maxwell Air Force Base 90 miles south of here at Montgomery within an hour after Kennedy issued his order Sunday. By early morning, more than 10 planes had trrived with cagoes of soldiers, jeeps and other equipment. The steel-helmeted troops, carrying bayonet-tinned carbines, were housed in vacant barracks for the nigfit at Maxweil which was placed on alert. Kennedy said in calling out the troops that he would "do whatever must be done to preserve order" in Bir mingham which was rocked by bombings and rioting early Sunday. Twenty-two persons were injured hi the pitched battles between Negroes and police that cli maxed six weeks of anlisegregalion demonstrations. Alabama Governor Protests It was the second time in a lit tle more than seven months that Kennedy had ordered federal troops into the South in connec tion with racial violence. He dis patched 23,000 troops to tlie Ox ford, Miss., area last October aft er University of Mississippi stu dents rioted over the admission of Negro student James H. Mere dith. Ally. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy said today there is a "tense, diffi cult" situation in Birmingham but that he is hopeful it will be set tled by local interests. Kennedy expressed hope that tlie agree ment between Negroes and whites reached last week would not come apart as a result of the violence- Gov. George Wallace protested the sending of troops to Alabama. In a telegram lo the President Sunday, he said "sufficient state law enforcement officers arc available to maintain peace and order" in Birmingham. A source close to Wallace said there was a good chance the gov ernor would seek a court order enjoining the federal forces from leaving Maxwell. Alabama Public Safety Director Al Lingo, a shotgun slung over his shoulder, told newsmen Sun day night that as of now, we ve got things firmly under control. "We don't expect any trouble and if there Is any, I know we can handle it," said Lingo, head of the Slate Highway Patrol. He snapped "no comment" when asked lor his reacUon to the send ing of federal troops Into tlie state. Dynamiting Touches Off Battle The stone, brick and bare knuckle battling of Negroes with police was touched off by tlie dynamiting of tlie home of Rev. A. D. King, brother of integra tion leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and of the A. G. Gaston motel, headquarters of the inte gration movement which began a massive campaign to tear down Ihe racial barriers here six weeks ago. At least 22 persons were in jurcd. Stores and homes were set afire as were a taxicab and a Shrincr's gaudy motorcycle. Policeman J. N. ipivcy was stabbed twice in the back. A taxicab driver was pulled from his car and beaten. Police Inspector William Haley was struck with a brick and il took six slitchrs lo close the wound. Iler Sunday, at Annislon, 60 miles to the northeast, two Negro homes and a .church were dam aged by shotgun blasts. There were no Injuries. Kennedy'! orders included the sending of troops lo bases near Birmingham, taking or prelimi nary steps toward lederalizing units of the Alabama National Guard and the dispatching of civ il righui trouble shooter Burke Marshall, assistant attorney gen eral in charge of the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Depart ment, back here to thrash out problems with city and Negro leaders. State highway patrolmen, rein forced by conservation agents, Al coholic Beverage Control board men, sheriff's deputies and depu tized National Guardsmen, joined city police in cordoning off a 20 block area near the downtown section. No one was permitted to enter or leave, except newsmen with passes issued by Lingo. If NN. ci CA. V- a titMWf.H-VM Q '.' 1?

Some streets in the blocked off area were dark because firei burned through power lines dur ing the height of the rioting. Dr. King said the blasts were "expressive death groans of a dying system. 1 The Atlanta Integration leader said he did not think the racial troubles would nullify an agree ment announced last Friday be tween while and Negro leaders on a desegregation plan over the next 90 days. King praised President Kenne dy for his direct action. The .fe- gro minister said it showed the administration "will not let the rights of Negroes be trampled on." King admitted he probably could not control "retaliatory vio lence of Negroes w ho hold a deep reseniment oi tneir second class citizenship."
