Solomon presiding, following
complaints and arrests of tribal
Indians who asserted the old
treaty rights to hunt and trap
out of season cn the original
Klamath Indian Reservation

troversy. Roy Atchiscn, assistant attor

Summer's Final Chores
Can Be Painful Problem
By DICK WEST
WASHINGTON (LTD - On
Thanksgiving Day 1 went out
side between football games to
perform a ritual, familiar to all
suburbanites, that is known as
"putting the lawnmower away
for the winter."
While I had t'lie tiling upend
ed, trying to remove the blade,
the wrench slipped and mashed
the end of the little finger on
my right hand. It was excru
ciating. Besides that, it hurt.
I ran into the the house where
I encountered my wife coming
up from the basement with a
load of laundry. She could sense
from the way I was screaming
that something was wrong. My
wife is very perceptive that
way.
"What's the matter?" she
asked.
"I hurt my pinkie." I said.
"You poor kid," she crooned.
"Come here and I'll kiss it and
make it all well."
Sarcasm Unappreciated
I didn't appreciate her sar
casm one bit. Besides that, she
lied to me. This happened more
than two weeks ago and my
finger is still sore.
Mashing one's finger is not,
I'll admit, a mortal wound. But
for someone who earns his live
lihood playing the typewriter, it
is just about the worst thing
that can happen.
Outside of discovering that
one's wile can't really heal a
mashed finger by kissing it, I
don't know of anything more
traumatic than having to.
change one s typing technique.
Under the typing system I
employ, the right little finger
has jurisdiction not only over the
colon-semicolon, its home key,
but is alio responsible for the
letter P, both capital and low
er case; the zero: the starboard
parenthesis; the asterisk: the

Versatility Unmatched
No other typing finger can
match its versatility and none
is more important, except pos
sibly the left ring linger, which
is assigned to the key used in
X-ing out mistakes.
The loss of the right pinkie is
particularly hard on someone
like me because I have an in
feriority complex and conse
quently U6e a lot of question
marks.
During my incapacitation, I
devised a left hand crossover
method under which the left in
dex finger substitutes for the in
jured digit. Tlie result has been
a steady erosion of my central
nervous system.
After the first week I started
stuttering, which is a common
affliction among ambidextrous
clicss piaycrs i:nd baseball
switch hitters. At the end of 100
days. I found that my eyes
were crossing.
Fortunately, however, the
soreness is about gone now and
I'll be a:l right as scon as my
ears quit twitching.

EDITOR'S NOTE: What is the
shape of the nation's social re
volution within the borders of
Oregon? The slate has strong
civil rights laws, yet discrimina
tion exists despite a small Ne
gro population. How do rvents
elsewhere touch the Oregon
Negro, and what progress Is he
making toward equal opportun
ity? The following dispatch, first
of two, explores Negro altitudes
and measures the size of the
problem.
By GORDON RICE
United Press International
In tlie 1920s Uie Ku Klux Klan
was burning crosses in Southern
Oregon and electing public offi
cials to represent it at Salem.
Today. Oregon has one of the
strongest sets of civil rights
laws in the nation stronger
than the federal laws proposed
by the late President Kennedy.
Some of its people have made
the transition in attitude, and
some have not. That, highly
simplified, is the condition Ore
gon finds itself in the civil
rights field in 1963.
"Today I'm proud to say I'm
from Oregon at any national
meeting or convention," says E.
Shelton Hill, executive secretary
for the Portland Urban League.
"Our situation in Oregon is
ages better than most areas of
the nation.. .and improvements
have been rapid and I believe
are accelerating," adds Gov.
Mark Hatfield.
But discrimination does exist,
in spite of strong laws, a small
Negro population and Oregon's
generally enlightened attitude
toward civil liberties.
It exists "on a very quiet
basis." says Dr. Wesley G.
Nicholson, pastor of Eugene's
First Congregational Church.
What is the racial situation in
Oregon? How are its laws work
ing? What do the Negroes want,
and what progress are they
making?
It it is true that the lack of
Negroes means there is no
problem, then most of Oregon
docs not have a serious prob
lem. But this docs not make the
anguish of one Negro refused
service in a smalltown Eastern
Oregon restaurant any less than
that of a victim of discrimina
tion in Portland.
Portland Has Most
Negroes comprise " less than
one per cent of the state's popu
lation. About 10.500 of the
state's approximately 18,500
Negroes live in Portland. There
are smaller concentrations in
Eugene, Klamath Falls, Pendle
ton and a few other cities. The
rest are scattered widely.
In 1040 there were 2,565 Ne
groes in the entire state. Then
came World War II, the ship
yards at Vanport and other war
time industry. By J950, there
were 11,529 Negroes in Oregon
and by I960 the total had
climbed lo 18.133.
There are four major civil
rights laws on the books:
A Fair Employment Prac
tices Law, enacted in 1949, bars
discrimination by employers,
employment agencies and labor
unions.
The Vocational, Professional
and Trade Schools Act of 1951
v
Small State Negro Population
Strong Civil Rights Measures
is designed to prevent bias on
the part of training facilities
which could give Negroes tlie
skills to quality for better jobs.
Tlie Public Accommodations
Law of 1953. which prohibits dis
crimination in public accommo
dations, resorts, places of
amusement and in all places of
public services.
The Housing Act of 1957,
which bans discrimination in
the sale or rental of housing.
Mark A. Smith, a Negro, is
administrator of the civil rights
division in the State Bureau of
Labor. He and three staff mem
bers carry the load of enforcing
these laws among nearly two
million people.
Smith gets about 12 com
plaints a month, but says "most
of them are traced to personal
ity conflicts having nothing to
do with civil rights."
F'lve Public Hearings
Most of the laws win accept
ance once the public under
stands them, he says. There has
been no organized opposition
and only five cases have gone
as far as a public hearing,
which is held if attempts to
mediate the dispute fail.
"But laws arc meaningless
unless they are written in the
hearts of men," Hatfield said
recently in a Salem speech,
and this is where civil rights
workers think the work must be
done.
A Portland apartment house
operator recently was overheard
advising another to take down
a "vacancy" sign if Ncgorcs
came to inquire about the hous
ing. "Tell them you've just rented
it and forgot to take down the
sign," he said, "and then leave
the sign down for six months
if you have to, lo make sure
you don't get into any trouble."
A housewife in Baker hesti
tales when a Negro family
wants to buy her home. Al
though she disclaims any per
sonal prejudice, she is worried
about the reaction of her neigh
bors. At Corvallis and Eugene, fra
ternities and sororities conform
to a ban on racial clauses in
their charters, hut not a single
Negro is pledged at cither Ore
gon or Oregon State. One of the
few Negroes who signed up for
rush at Oregon said later he be
lieved he had been a victim of
discrimination.
At Portland State College,
President Branford Millar halt
ed sorority rushing and suspend
cd all the houses on the campus
aflcr they failed to pledge two
Negro girls.
There are some Negro leaders
who think stronger laws are the
answer.
"A disgrace" is the way presi
dent Mayficld K. Webb of tlie
Portlnnd chapter of the National
Association for the Advance
ment of C o I o r c d People de
scribes the fact that the Civil
Rights Division receives only

about 12 complaints a month.
Wants Law Amended
Webb, generally regarded as
the state's most militant rights
worker, wants the law amended
to allow the Civil Rights Divi
sion to investigate possible dis
crimination without tlie filing of
a formal complaint. He also
wants swift, severe punishment
of offenders without the slower
steps of mediation and concilia
tion. "People will learn to live with
stronger laws," he says. "Obvi
ously we need changes of atti
tudes, but I think they will be
assisted by stronger laws. At
this rate it w ill take another 100
years."
Webb takes a less favorable
view of the situation in Oregon
than do most of his colleagues.
"I believe there are sundown
towns, but I can't pinpoint them
right now," he comments.
Several of his pronouncements
have badly shaken a few satis
fied city officials around t h e
state. Earlier this year he re
quested assurances from Med
ford. Grants Pass and Ashland
that Negroes would be welcome
to use public accommodations
in that region. He hinted Ne
groes would bo sent to "test"
it if the assurances were not
forthcoming.
"We had a tremendous re
sponse," he says now. "We ac
complished a lot in gelling the
communities concerned."
Another one of his plans for
the future calls for sending a
number of Negro young people I
on a tour of the state to test
their reception.
"I think it would be telling,
he explains.
Webb's hard-line efforts have
brought h i m some opposition
within the Negro community.
Mrs. Vivianne Barnctt, president
of the Albina Civic and Taxpay
ers Association, said recently
there is now a danger of vio
lence in Portland because of
such incidents as Webb's threat
to picket the Northwest Towers
Housing Project during a pro
posed dedication by President
Kennedy. Webb said the Hous
ing Authority of Portland dis
criminated in its selection of
tenants.
Did Not Visit
Kennedy decided not to visit
Portland, and many people
blamed the NAACP.
"The result is that those who
have been liberal have become
antagonistic to us," Mrs. Bar
nctt said.
There have been several inci
dents of violence and one death
in Portland in which race
played a part. Portland police
say there is a "hard core"
group of about 30 Negro youths
GALLENKAMP'S
QhhhimaA
who have been involved in such
incidents as a post-football game
riot, the chain beating of a
white boy on Halloween, and
several other beatings. Law en
forcement agencies are attempt
ing to get them out of circula
tion while youth commissions
make sure the problem gets no
worse.
A white skidroad resident Ed
ward St. George, 44, died after
a I960 beating by a group of
Negro youths, including Paul
Machen, the brother of fighter
Eddie Machen. They told
authorities they were upset by
racial tension in the South.
Law enforcement authorities
are hesitant to be quoted, but
police have experienced some
difficulty in the heavily-Negro
Albina district.
