LBJ Cites Efforts To Get At Root Causes Of Rioting President Lyndon B, Johnson in a White House Press Conference Tuesday told of his efforts to get action on rent supplements, Demonstration Cities legislation and a Teacher Corps in the overall assault on ghetto problems. The President insisted that basic conditions which spark unrest and lead to rioting must be tackled. now Responding to a question about federal steps to caro ing the President said: "I asked them to take every step they could possibly take, to find recreation find employment, open the swimming pools turn on the sprinklers turn up new recreational areas here in the city of Washington. We have done the same thing with the Mayors and with the Governors of the country in out meetings." President Johnson said; "We are opening some of our Federal installations where we can, to these families and these young people in crowded areas for swimming pools and for play-ground. I have asked Secretary McNamara to review every facility. I have asked the Interior Department to We think little time to do it But we are getting ahead with the job as quickly as we can." Speaking of the Demonstration Cities legislation, the President said agreed upon and "we want to get a vote on the Demonstration Cities bill as soon as we can." "The first thing they can do is provide a Teacher Corps, where we can have teachers in these areas that need help so much. The second thing they can do is in the new idea of rent supplements, which we think offers us the greatest opportunity since FHA was endorsed in this country to provide decent housing for poor people. We have urged the Congress to adopt that principle, to embrace it. They have made a small appropriation, but we have another one pending in the Senate for the next year. We have talked to some on the Senators. Honest Is The Best Policy Or Is It?

Sunday School Lesson The aim of our Lesson for today is to present Jesus' interpretation of obedience the Seventh Commandment: "Thou shall not commit adultery." The Seventh Commandment prohibited the adulterous ACT, Jesus went straight to the root of the Commandment when he preached against the adulterous THOUGHT For He Knew that thought morivates every action of man. Throughout the Bible we have Reeraed time and time again the fact that man alone of all the animals has been endowed with the powers of thought and reason This se s him apart from fourlegged creatures, He alone, has the wherewithal inside himself, to chose to act, or not act, thereby shaping his own destiny. Therefore, he who inclines to sinful thoughts inclines to sinful actions. On the other hand, he who is guided by man's better instincts. . . consideration, kindness, purity and loe . . . inclines to a God-guided life and fulfills man's destiny as God intended it to be fulfilled. Jesus lived in times when the Law was supreme, and too often there was more stress put upon obeying the law than interpretating what lay behind it. Jesus' sensitivity enabled him to apply perception to the translation of God's laws, and that often brought him in conflict with the scribes and Parisees. Thus his enemies often sought to entrap him with his own teaching in order to disqualify his claim to the Messiahship. Such was the case when they brought before him the woman taken in adultery. The penalty in Biblical days for adultery was death. Jesus taught that human life was God-given and therefore could not be destroyed by man. If he subscribed to the ultimate penalty of the law, he was therefore forsaking His own teachings; if, on the other hand he commuted the sentence. He was breaking the law. From the point of view of his enemies, He therefore convinced himself whichver way He turned. Jesus not unaware of what they sought to do to Him, avoided such picta With an air of almost complete detachment He spoke: "Let those among you who are without sin, cast the first stone." And, when the accusers tinned away, without one single stone being cast against, the unfortunate woman, Jesus turned to her and said; "Neither do I condemn thee; go, and sin no more." Jesus, in His humanity, judged pet and in withholding judgment laid a burden of indebtness on the sinner. For how can one accept such forgiveness without one's better mil tire responding in love and gratitude — resolving lo turn aside from, sin and be what such an One expected a person to be? Surely such God-like attributes must inspire dedication and effort in emulating them? This though applies not only to our acts and deeds, but to what sets man apart —his inner thoughts his feelings, his soul. For our acts are prompted by what we think and feel — what we are, We mus therefore guard our thoughts, our eyes, our hearts, diligent, that w grow pure in mind and spirit. This is what God desires.

GBI Investigates Ambush Slaying Of Star Witness The investigation continued into the ambush slaving of a man who was to be a star witness in a $64,000 burglary trial scheduled to open Aug. 22. The Georgia Bureau of Investi gation has said its agents believe the shooting of M. H. Calhoun, 48, was a "hired killing." And that two persons also were marked for death. Calhoun was gunned down early Sunday in front of the service station he operates in Lyons. Agents believe the assailants hid behind a sign across the street from the station and awaited Calhoun's arrival. The man was scheduled to be a witness at the burglary trial or Curtis Roland Farmer, 35, who was indicted by the Bibb County Grand Jury in the December burglary of the Macon Cigar and Tobacco Co. Five other men have been questioned and released on appearance bonds in connection with the burg lary. Wallace To Seek Funds For Biased Schools Gov. George Wallace said Sunday he plans to ask the legislature to pass a bill which will give extra state money to public schools whose federal assistance Is cut off for failure to comply with desegregation guidelines. The governor said he hoped the measure would be ready for introduction when the legislature resumes its special session Tuesday Wallace conferred with numerous lawmakers last Thursday and Friday about the proposal and reports from some of his legislative lieutenants were that it would give him broad new powers, including, perhaps, the athority to take away state funds from school boards which complied with the federal guidelines. Wallace said he decided to disclose the contents of the bill to correct the "misinformation." "The proposal that will be offered to the legislature will declare In its preamble that it is the legislature's determination that the integration guidelines drafted by the U. S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare are illegal in that they go beyond the law's the governor said. "The preamble will further declare that the guidelines are null and void in this state. "The bill itself will simply state that any school board which has for refusing to sign these illegal guidelines will be appropriated a like amount of state funds from the surplus in the special education trust fund. "We have reached a sad state of affairs in this country when we must agree to do something illegal to get money that 'is rightfully ours," Wallace said. The governor denied reports the bill would withhold state funds from school districts which signed compliance forms, give him the sole authority to enter into agreements with federal authorities or abolish local school boards that abided by the guidelines. A bill to replace lost federal money with state funds was seen as a move to encourage local educators to join the governor's fight. Racial Tensions Said Decreased In Washington Racial tensions in the nation's capital have decreased as a result of recommendations for improvement of police community relations, Mrs. Ruth Bates Harris executive director of the commissioners council on Human Relations asserted Yester day. In a letter to the President's commission on crime, which made the recommendations, Mrs. Harris congratulated police on the steps taken during the past two weeks. The commission accused the Washington Police Department of fostering racial tensions. Mrs. Harris said "the attitude of recruit police, and increasing restraint of police officers reflect some of the changes being made." "Perhaps," she added "the institution of such improvements in police community relations won't remove the dynamite that exist in our major cities, but it can help to dampen the fuse.

He doesn't like smoke. TV Said Best Source For Race Problem Communication Television is "our greatest national resource" in' providing the communication needed to solve this country's racial problems, William B. Monroe, Jr., Director of NBC News, Washington, said Aug. 5 in addressing graduate journalism students at Northwestern University, Evanston, Ill. Monroe said the American people are on the way to completing the "easy part'' solving these problems. "The easy part is changing the laws," he said. "Now were up against the hard part: changing the things that exist inside people's heads". . . wearing down "the stones inside of brains that accumulate fears and hatreds and irrationalities." Television's effect on "these malignant rocks" has been "probably greater than any other American institution," he said; and "because of its demonstrated impact, television has a greater concern than most other segments of the U. S. establishment over how we're go ing to meet the really tough part of the racial struggle that lies ahead." "The need is to get some communication going involving millions of people," he said. "And our greatest national resource in this area, obviously, Is television. Local television and network television." Monroe said television is' the "chosen instrument" of Negroes who are "the architects, bricklayers, carpenters and welders' of the current "racial - social - political revolution." "This didn't come about television people were trying to accomplish any particular end," he said. "It came about because, when the Negroes got ready to make their move, television was there ... Radio provided the U. S. with its first national news medium and TV became the first national news medium with an influence equal to the total of all the daily papers. "Perhaps even more important, television conveyed the emotional values-of-a- basically emotional struggle with a richness and fidelity never before achieved in mass communications. When you see and hear an angry man talking, whether he's a segregationist, an integrationist or somebody else, you can understand the man's anger ... By comparison with the visual image and the sound of the voice, mere words on paper are dried - up little symbols . . . "Negroes looked to television to tell their story because it could convey to depth their strong feelings, it could convey them all across the nation, and because It was just about the only channel of communication genuinely open to them." Monroe said the civil rights leaders, naturally, have used television every time they got a chance, and that today the segregationists are begining to realize that they can use it, too. Reporters and cameramen, he said, are now getting invitations to attend Ku Klux Kan rallies. Maury Wills was a Carnation baby And baby. Look at him now!

Carnation has been growing sports heroes (and other unusually healthy people) for more than sixty years. The National Assoclation for the Advancement of Colored People is not happy over the civil rights bill as it was passed in the House of Representatives by a vote of 259 —157 on August 9. The bill now goes to she Senate where action is not expected before September 6. In a statement at the time of passage, NAACP Executive Director Roy Wilkins said, "The bill passed by the House was significantly weaker than the bill omitted by the Johnson Administration last spring, and civil rights forces are not happy about the changes." Contrary to assertions by some organizations, the bill is not "worthless," although not as strong as President Johnson's original version Two important sections ban discrimination in the selection of Federal and state juries. Title 3 grants new, authority to the Attorney General to act in a variety of civil rights cases. Title 4, the housing section, does open up all newly-constructed and multiple dwellings (apartments) but permits discrimination in the sale and rental of existing single-family dwellings. Title 5 provides Federal punishment for those who attack Negro civil rights workers and their ales but had an anti riot section added to it. The NAACP statement declared: "The most glaring damage is in the fair housing section which cut the Negro homeseekers' market to about 40 percent of the nation's housing. The suburos remains lilywhite and hopeful the central city ghettos black and hopeless. "Very great harm was done the Negaro population by the amendment of Title 6 preventing the. Attorney General from filing suits in school desegregation cases with out written complaints from the Negro parents. The experience of the past twelve years is that threats have been used in the South to guarantee that these parents will not complain. "If this kind of shadow boxing continues, the Negro child cannot hope to get an equal public education before 2066. matter how many, statements of high policy and decarations of legislative concern are made. "The House also refused to enact an Indemnification clause for the familles of Negroes maimed or slain while seeking to exercise their constitutional citizenship rights. But the House acted quickly and emotionally to place an anti-riot amendment into the bill."
