Memphis World Memphis World Publishing Co. 1967-04-01 J. A. Beauchamp BIRTH OF TROPICAL STORMS STUDIED — tudy of birth of tropical storms in the equator's "trough zone" is underway on three mid-Pacific islands (map). The project involves 60 scientists, weather 'planes from Guam and Honolulu, the research ship Surveyor-I and seven cloud photos a day transmitted by ATS (Applications Technology Satellite). The photo was taken by ATS at a height of 22.300 miles. Because weather patterns around the globe are affected by tropical storms, the scientists' findings could provide a big step toward making worldwide weather f up to two weeks in advance. Montgomery, Ala., this week became the first southern state ordered by a federal court to desegregate all its public school districts. The court ordered 99 school districts to en dsegregation by next fall. This unprecedented action of the three judge federal court came in response of four years of litigation by attorneys of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc. (LDF). Alabama Gov. Lurleen B. Wallace, State School Superintendent Ernest Stone and 10 other state officials were directed by the U. S. District Court in Montgomery to "take affirmative action to disestablish all state - enforced or encouraged public segregation." They were also told to "eliminate the effects of past . . . discrimination." LDF Director Counsel Jack Greenburg called the decision, "an important step in closing the doors to evasion of the. Constitution and the desegregation guidelines of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare. "We plan to follow this up in those hard core states where massive resistance remains the order of the day, particularly Mississippi Louisiana and S. W. Georgia," he said. This injunction marks the first time since the Supreme Court's desegregation ruling of 1954 that an entire state has been placed under s single, injunction to end school segregation, Mr. Greenburg added. The Court ruled that Gov Wallace and other state officials have "through their control and influence over local school boards flouted every effort to make the 14th amendment a meaningful reality to Negro school children in Alabama." The Federal Court said that Gov. Wallace and other state officials had used two chief means of encouraging local Alabama school boards to resist integration: They used their authority as a threat and as a means of punishment to prevent local officials ... to desegregate schools." They have performed their own functions in such a way as to maintain and preserve the racial characteristics of the system." LDF attorneys based their case on the successful argument that Gov. Wallace and other defendants: Exercised their pervasive powers to frustrate local officials who attempted to integrate schools. Controlled school finances and fiscal policies in, a manner that maintained and promoted segrega tion. Controlled instructional pro grams and policies in a manner that maintained and promoted segregation. Controlled school construction and consolidation programs and policies in a manner that maintained and promoted segregation. Controlled school transportation programs and policies in, a manner that maintained and promoted segregation. LDF attorneys participating in the Case were Fred D. Gray of Montgomery; and, Mr. Greenburg, Charles H. Jones, J., Melvyn Zarr and Henry M. Aronson, all of New York City.

Senate Approves Making Birthplace Of JFK Historic The Senate Tuesday approved a bill that would make the Brookline. Mass., birthplace of the late President John F. Kennedy a national historic site. The measure, passed by voice vote, now goes to the House. Un der the bill, the federal government could accept as a gift from the Kennedy family the nine-room frame house in the Boston suburb where Kennedy was born May 29, 1917. Mrs. Joseph P. Kennedy informed Interior Secretary Stewart L. Udall recently that she had restored the home exactly as it was at the time of her son's birth. The Interior Department would spend about $32,500 annually to maintain the site. There probably would be a public admission charge of 50 cents or more. At present, the birthplaces of five presidents are administered by the National Park Service. The homes of 13 others are maintained by either state and local governments or private foundations.

NAACP Condemns Policy Brutality In Owning, N. Y. The National Association for the Advancement ot Colored People is expressing its serious concern about a continuing pattern of discrimination in law enforcement in Ossining, New York. In a letter to Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller, NAACP general counsel Robert L. Carter, states that "situations involving disorderly groups of white teen-agers are handed by admonishing the people involved. Similar incidents involving Negro teen-agers have been marked by police brutality, tear gas, racial epithets, and arrests, this differential treatment on the basis of race has been occuring consistently over a long period of time." Mr. Carter urged the Govenor to direct the Attorney General to inquire into matters concerning the public safety and public justice. By doing so, Mr. Carter said, the Governor will help "in rem edying the situation and will demonstrate that a pattern of public injustice is occurring."

Government Tax Collections Will Reach To $203 Billion Less than, a dozen years after total government tax collections for the first time reached the $100 billion mark, tax gathering by Federal, state and local government in fiscal 1967 Will top $200 billion, Tax Foundation, Inc., estimated recently. Based on figures in, its new, 14th edition of PACTS and FIGURES on GOVERNMENT FINANCE, the projected fiscal 1967 $203 billion collection total would represent a per family burden of $3,300, about $1,400 more than in fiscal 1956 when collections were $100 billion, the Foundation said. Among other facets of spending, taxing or debt detailed in the 275page book: (1) Total state government spending, revenue and debt went up about 100 percent from 1956 to 1965; (2) local government income tax collections tripled in the 1954-1965 period; (3) Federal aid to the states more than tripled from 1955 to 1965, and (4) Federal, state and local government debt equalled $2,169 per American in 1966. The book, with its 191 tables, is the most complete single source of information on taxes, expenditures and debt at all levels of government. In a foreword to the new volume, Foundation Chairman Rob ert C. Tyson said: "When the first edition of this handbook was published in 1941, total government spending was lea than. $35 billion; in fiscal 1967, expenditures are estimated to be more than $250 billion, a quarter TRILLION dollars. An inevitable result of this vast outpouring has been corresponding vast increase in Doth taxes and public debt. "Moreover," he continued "the increased government role in the national economy brings ever more tax and fiscal complexities; fis cal decisions appear to be harder to make with each succeeding year." Mr. Tyson raised questions, too, about where long-range Federal tax reform fits into a picture "dominated by immediate budgetary needs or short - term economic objectives;' and about whether Washington should share a "purely hypothetical budget surplus" with states and localities. To the increasing number of Americans who seek reliable fiscal information about government, he declared, "this volume is addressed."

Willard Wirtz announced a "concentrated" program to fine jobs immediately tear the hard core unemployed in the slums ot major U. s. cities. Surveys of census tracts in a number of these cities show that 42 percent of those living in the areas are nonwhite. The program would put 25,000 40,000 unemployed to work within the next six months. It is intended that three to four times that many would be located in jobs within a year. "This is not a new, crash program,'' Secretary Wirtz emphasized, "It is a focusing of present programs in those areas in Which there is the greatest need." Surveys of census tracts for slums in a number of major U. S. cities also revealed: —The nonwhite unemployment rate is about three times the white unemployment rate in 8 areaes, two times as high in 6 more, half again as high in 2 others. —The worst unemployment is among 14-to-19 year old, nonwhites, ranging from 18,4 percent in Washington, D. C. to 36.0 percent in Philadelphia, with the rate running above 30 percent in sewn areas. The rate for nonwhite girls is somewhat higher, than for boys (more than 40 percent in Philadelphia and St. Louis). — Unemployment rate varies greatly — from 2.7 per sent in Washington, D. C. to 5.2 per cent in San Francisco and 6.0 per cent in Los Angeles. In ten of the cent in surveyed the rate is significantly above the national average. The projects will be administered through local community action groups with the office of Economic Opportunity, the Department of Health, Education; and Welfare, and the Department of Housing and Urban Affairs taking part. Here, generally, is how the program was described by Secretary Wirtz: — An intensive effort will be made to 'reach out and find" those individuals, in the specificied areas who are most in need of work. This effort is designed to locate those not normally reached by existing Manpowe Programs. —Through the local public employment office, participating individuals will be given a two-week general orientation or preparation program on a highly individual (one helping one) basis. They will be routed as directly as possible to employment. —The Employment Service will work more closely than ever with local employer and labor union groups tb line up specific job opportunities previously closed to the chronically unemployed. Potential employers will be asked to "take a chance" and to help in providing needed training. Special help will be given to individuals with police records, for example. Cities slated to benefit from programs expected to get under way immediately are: Cleveland, Chicago, Detroit, New York City, Boston, St. Louis Los Angeles, and Washington, D. C. Secretary Wirtz said "discussions" are underway for programs in a second set of cities, including Atlanta, Houston, Newark, N. J., New Orleans, Oakland, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, San Antonio, and San Francisco. Special Attention will also be directed to these cities: Jacksonville, Fla., Buffalo, Phoenix, Birmingham, Baltimore and four rural areas — the Mississippi, Delta, Eastern Kentucky, Northern minnesota, and Northern Michigan. That would help because no matter how Houk tries to cut it, the 25 - year -old Stottlemyre still must rate as the ace of his staff and it's a bit difficult even thinking about a pennant when your ace's, record is 12-20. Jake Gibbs probably will get to do more and more of the catching even though Elston Howard wears his 37 years pretty well Gibbs batted .258 in 62 games last season, contributing 20 BBI's and there homers, while Howard, a .256 ter had six homers and 35 Houk began the 1966 season with a team that was unsettled and says he doesn't want to do the same thing this year. Up to this point, however, his infield still isn't settled arid won't be until all precincts are hear from in the great first base experiment. Veteran Charlie Smith, who batted .266 for the Cardinals and came over in the Roger Marls swap, has the edge at third base over rookie Mike Ferraro, a .246 hitter at Toledo. In the outfield, Tom Tresh will be in left and either Bill Robinson or Steve Whitaker in right, with Roy White for backup, purposes and possibly Lou Clinton to pinch hit. Robinson, a righthanded hitter, and Whitaker, who swings from the other side, may be platooned in Marls' old position. Robinson had a great year with Richmond where he batted .312 and hit 20 homers He came to the' Yankees from the Braves for Clete Boyer. Not enough of the others are however, and that adds up to anOther long, hot, sticky summer for Houk. Chicago Cubs Studying Meins Of Escaping From Tenth Place Now that the young Chicago Cubs have recovered from their swoon over the advent of Leo Durocher, they are talking in no uncertain terms of escaping from tenth place. Despite a tenth place finish which highlighted 20 straight years in the second division, the Cubs won 34 and lost 44 in the second half of the campaign. The idea now is whether they can keep it up. Most at the players, led by the ever - optimistic Ernie Banks, assert that they have a good chance to improve a couple of notches in the standings. "Then we could get hot and become contenders just as the Philadelphia Phillies did in 1962," says Ray Culp who was obtained from them last December. Joe Niekro, brother of the Atlanta Braves' Phil Niekro, and Alonso Olivares are two rookie hurlers who have caught the eye of the brass. But neither has progressed beyond the lower minors. The bullpen will be manned by veteran left hander Bob Hendley (4-5) Bill Hands (8-13) and Cal Koonce (5-5) who are expected to combine as one of the club's stems points. Ernie Banks arrived early in camp to start battling for his first base job, but "Mr. Cub" is 36 now and Durocher notes that he and longer has those quick wrists which had him socking more tan 40 homers per season at his prime. At shortstop and second base it is Don Kessinger and Glenn Beckert. The latter, billed as one of the key men in the Cubs drive toward the first division, tacked 48 pints onto his batting average for a fancy .287 last year after passing up the long ball. Randy Hundley, who caught, 149 games last year to set a National League rookie record, has that job pretty well sewed up. "We're sticking with, the youth movement," he says.: "And I'm the man to see if anything goes wrong."
