Work Faces Negro Ban PORTLAND iL'PI' - Portland1 Negroes may resort to demon strations to halt construction of a proposed public housing project in the city's Albina district, accord ing to a spokesman for the NAACP. Harry Ward made the state ment in a taped interview Tues day on educational television chan nels 10 and 7. Mayor Terry Schrunk replied the city would move against the Negroes if they attempt "acts of violence." Ward pointed to picketing and various other methods of direct action used in civil rights strug gles as examples of what might be done in Portland. "Public housing should not be built in places where it would per petuate segregated housing pat terns," Ward said, "and I think this is what would happen if the Portland Housing Authority built in Albina."

His boss. Robert Kennedy, leans heav ily on his abilities and called on him again as the racial crisis al Cambridge, Md., worsened. Tuesday, while and Negro lead ers whose conflict at Cambridge had produced bitterness and some bloodshed (or 19 months an nounced an agreement that' halt ed demonstrations indefinitely. The news accounts said simply that Marshall was present to witness the signing of the settlement in Kennedy's office. Marshall's work handled in the Cambridge ca.e without going to tlie scene in person was larcelv instrumental in bringing opposing tactions together and producing the climate that made' negotia tions possible. This was the second major vie lory on tlie civil rights front for Marshall in three months. He played a key role in producing a settlement of the racial upheaval in Birmingham, Ala., last May. When Marshall arrived n the steel city, tlie possibilities for re storing peace were gloomy. Huge demonstrations were erupting on the streets as thousands of Ne groes battered at long-standing racial barriers. Tlie city had two governments, the result of a re cent changeover that had not tak tn effect. A civic group called the "Com mittee of Seventy" was attempt ing to work out at least a truce that would halt the demonstra tions which were threatening to become a riot. Members of the committee were getting nowhere with Negro leaders or with each other. There were wide differenc es of opinion on how to deal with the uprising Marshall did not seem to cut much of a figure as he walked down a long corridor at the Cham ber of Commerce building and into a board room with tlie Birming ham committee. The quietest voice in the room was that of Marshall, a 41-year-old Harvard-trained lawyer who had no civil rights experience pri or to joining tlie Kennedy admin istration team in its early days. Within only a few days, how ever, the committee had reached an agreement with Negro leaders to embark on tlie city's first ef forts at desegregation of public accommodations. Although the agreement was unofficial inas much as there was no municipal government to approve it, the Ne gro side accepted it In good faith. This was more of Marshall's per suasive work.

The most frequent victims are two helpless groups, the very old and the very young. The National Safety Council lists these eight causes for most farm (ires: defective chimneys, chimney sparks on combustible roofs, unsafe stove and furnace installations, inadequate lightning protection, improper use of elec tricity, spontaneous ignition, mis use of gasoline and kerosene, carelessness with matches. Proper maintenance and safe work habits eliminate nearly all lire causes. Safeguards recom mended include at least one pres- sure-type hand fire extinguisher in each home, chimney spark ar- j reslers and fire resistant roofs. and electrical wiring adequate to handle the heavy loads on mod ern (arms. A pond within pumping dis tance of farm buildings provided a good emergency water supply. If a pond is impractical, build an emergency cistern of at least 3.000-gallon capacity.

Clark, had faced possible discharge at an Army administrative board hearing scheduled for Friday. Clark, who works on a ranch in Napa County, Calif., wrote to his commanding general last October advising him that he would refuse to participate in any possible in vasion of Cuba. His letter said in part: 'I want to advise you before any possible reserve callup takes place, that I have no intention of obeying such a recall. I take this action in protest of our naval blockade of Cuba, a policy I re gard to be dangerous, foolish and immoral. regard President Kennedy's decision to be ill-conceived and ir responsible, prompted more by domestic political considerations than by threats of security to the United States. "I have no intention of sanction ing this decision, so please be forewarned that I will Ignore any reserve callup which involves me." Clark, who was on active duty as an enlisted man in Germany Irom 19o8 to 1960, never was re called to active duty. However, the administrative board hearing was scheduled to decide whether he should be discharged prior to the completion of his reserve ob ligation next March Friday's hearing was called off by LI.
