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."

general in charge of the civil
rights division, Marshall has the
reputation of getting things accom
plished when all else (ails. 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 reservist, Thomas L. Clark,

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

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

domestic political considerations
than by threats of security to the

"I have no intention of sanction

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

he should be discharged prior to

Oregon courts reported more

several years. Another 2.546 were
suspended by the department un
der its discretionary authority.
Included in the mandatory sus
pensions were 1,224 licenses of
persons convicted of drunk driv

state's financial responsibility law
was the chief reason for license
suspensions during the period.
