Voting Is Most Important
The 14 office-holders who will represent the citizens of
Memphis for the next four years will be elected at the polls
Thursday. It is incumbent upon every citizen to participate in
this selection, because freedom of the people and for the people 
can remain available only as long as the ballot is used.
Not only is it an American right to vote, it is a sacred duty
second only to serving your God.
You have heard the candidates. You know the issues. You
have listened to the charges and counter-charges. Now the decision 
is up to you. You are the judge and jury of who will
occupy the various public offices in our city.
We hope you will choose well.
How we feel about the various candidates has been expressed 
in several deitorials."
The candidates we recommend to you to vote for will be
found on the front page of this issue.
Despite our hearty recommendation of these candidates
if you do not agree with us, vote your own conviction. The
most important thing is TO VOTE.

The Klondike Situation
The recent incident in the Klondike section of town in
which Negro citizens were enraged to the point where they attacked 
two white police officers is unfortunate, but it points
up the need for a greater demand for justice from law enforcement 
agencies here.
The citizens said they acted when a police officer slapped
a Negro man for carrying campaign literature of public works
commissioner candidate Russell Sugarmon, Jr. Three of the
citizens were fined, and Police Chief J. C. Mcdonald was quoted 
as saying: "The officers were attacked in the line of duty.
We are not going to tolerate such actions. We are not going to
have police attacked as they were in New York. We plan to
get all of the persons involved in, and those who participated
in the attack on the officers will be arrested."
Mob action is not good for any city. But when other issues 
are involved — as the alleged attempt to deny a citizen
or citizens their political freedom and other freedoms — they
should be brought out and judged according to constitutional
law, if justice is to be accomplished.
Such justice has not been accomplished in the Klondyke
situation.
The ministers of this city, civic organizations and others
interested in the cause of justice have done a wise thing in
quickly protesting the Klondyke situation to Commissioner
laude Armour. Mob action should not be tolerated in Memphis 
but neither should apparent attempts to deny citizens of
their constitutional rights to support the candidates of their
choice!

Little Rock Takes A Second Thought
The attitude and action by the chief of police of Little
Rock today is far different from what it was in September
1957 and 1958 when time came for school opening. In the
fall of '57 Governor Faubus called out state troopers, under
the guise of maintaining order, to prevent a few Negro children 
from entering Central High School in compliance with
a federal court ruling. State troopers were withdrawn under
a federal court order. A mob of white people Practically took
over the situation with no determined resistance by Little Rock
police.
President Eisenhower sent in federal troops to uphold the
law and some of them stayed there the remainder of the
term.
Just prior to school opening last year Governor Faubus
got his legislature to pass a law to permit him to close the
high schools of that city; hence, most of the high school students 
lost a year of schooling.
Various state and federal courts decisions came in the
meantime to show that public school integration could not be
effectively denied. So this week in Little Rock the chief of
police and the other city officials, including the Board of
Education, seem to be more willing to stand up to their duty
and protect the rights of Negro students to attend all the high
schools there.
Governor Faubus' recent television appearance, in which
he advised against violence but called for continued resistance
to integration, may be credited with what disorder has occured 
there this week. However, there has been no serious
trouble. The Arkansas governor advised that the people continue 
to fight against integration at the ballot box. This is a
right the people have-both those who are for and against-but
we maintain this is misleading advice, because the voters in
a single local community or state can have little effect on a
constitutional rights.
It is practically impossible for the court to turn back
the clock and those who blindly resist it will only succeed in
further frustration; On the other hand, if those who support
the court will odd to their voting strength, a constructive contribution 
can be made in resolving this issue by helping to
elect and keep those officials in office who are not strong
segregations.
The present officials at Little Rock seem to have taken a
second thought which is more in keeping with law and order
and reality. The chief of police and others seem determined
to defend law and order, and for this, all Americans can be
thankful.
Let us hope there will soon be complete calm there and
the children and parents can soon forget the turmoil of the
past.

Group Fined For

reinforcement after the crowd surrounding 
them began to protest
"this wholesale attack on innocent
bystanders."
outraged by the incident, a
number of ministers, civic leaders
and others immediately protested
the police brutality to Commissioner 
of Fire and Police Claude
Armour, who is up for re-election
in Thursday's election.
But Armour's employs, Police
Chief J. C. Macdonald ignoring
the Negroes' Protests of police brutality, 
had this to say: "We aren't,
going to stand for mob actions here
in Memphis."
The Cashes were represented in

Court by Hunter Lane Jr.
Charges of assault and battery
were dismissed against another
woman involved in the case, Mrs.
Evelyn Jones, of the Annie Street
address.

Youth Sentenced

working as a library page here
and previously in Decatur. Ga., a
suburb of Atlanta.
A detective said Smith admitted 
having placed "hate literature"
inside books of the Decatur Library. 
He left his family in
Atlanta and moved here after being 
expelled from Atlanta schools
for rebelling against compulsory
ROTC.
The boy became associated with

a "white supremacy" organization
while in Atlanta and its members
would not "leave him alone" after 
he moved to Columbus, defense

cause they are aware of the chicanery 
being used by some of the
white candidates, in their attempt
to build a machine and use the
Negro as a whipping boy. They are
trying to build a machine that
would make Crump appear like a
weakling in his hey day."
He added "when I am elected
I will be just as fair to a white
boy as to a black boy. I will not
send a white boy to jail just because 
he is white, nor a Negro boy
just because of his color. I was
born in the slums of Memphis and
I know the problems of Memphis.
Now I live on Parkway,"
The crowd cheered loudly when
he said "I know, what racial segregation 
is because I have been
hungry and thirsty and had money
to pay for food, but I could not
buy it because my face is black."
H pleaded for the audience to
not only vote "for me because I
know I am the best qualified candidate 
in this juvenile court race,"
but also vote for Bunton, Love and
Sugarmon.
Mrs. Bates dramatically told of
the vents of schools re-opening, after 
a year in Little Rock, which
was carried in the last issue of
this newspaper.
She hastened to point "I did not
come here as a representative of
the NAACP. All of you here know
that I am a representative of the
NAACP. But I came here tonight
in the interest of freedom. I didn't
come here at the invitation of these
candidates but I came here to help
freedom to be carried around the
world."
While telling about the school
events in Little Rock, she ardently
said "we will fight segregation as
long as I can stand." She told of
four shots being fired on her home
last Tuesday night and of the arrest 
and jailing of two of her
body guards."
She said many people ask her
why does she remain in Little
Rock in face of all the threats,
she explained "As long as school
kids like Jefferson Thomas and
Elizabeth Eckford can walk with
dignity into an angry mob. I'll
stay."
She asked "all freedom-loving
people to send President Eisenhower 
a letter" asking for protection
for her. "Because what happens to
me happenens to you.
Mrs. Bates caled the four Negro 
candidates "upstanding, dedicated, 
God Fearing men."
She asked "where are all of
the great white men of the South?
Where are the Thomas Paines.
Victor Hugos, Richard Aliens. Patrick 
Henrys" she concluded the
"eyes of the world are upon these
four Negro candidates and will be
watching on Aug 20.
Mrs. Bates was introduced by
Mrs. Marjorie Ulen, a teacher at
Manassas High School and society
writer of the Tri-State Defender.
Rev. Bunton told about receiving 
his first threatening call since
his campaign started. He added
"if I didn't think I could be of
some good" to the schol system, I
would not have offered myself to
run." He added, "this is not just
a political campaign, this is a crusade 
for a cause larger than any
individual. We are running against
some people but for some. We are
running against those people who
asked for our votes four years ago
but who are now race-baiting
against us. He had reference to
Loeb, but he did not call him by
name.
In conclusion he said "when we
are elected the Negro children will
be able to feel a-little proud. They
will be able to walk straight with
their heads erect."
Rev. Love said "I am praying
and hoping that this will be the
last meeting until Thursday. I'll be
glad Friday morning I find, my
name, in the winner's column. He
explained "when I ran before, I
was left on third base. This time
I am running all the way to homeplate." 

He said "there are three great
powers...God, the Holy Spirit and
the ballot...We are 100 years behind 
in Memphis. Let us catch-up
at the polls next Thursday."
Lee, while setting the tempo of
the meeting said "we are not trying 
to tear race relations in Memphis, 
we are just trying to open
wider the door of freedom. We are
trying to make freedom flow down
Beale Street as it flows down Main
and Front Street. This crusade if
to open wider the doors for black
and brown children.
"Some years ago the Late W. C.
Handy started a song about "Mr.
Crump don't allow no easy riding
here. But I don't care what Mr
Crump don't allow, I'm going to..
anyhow."
"Now 100 years later we are saying. 
"We don't care what Mr. Loeb
don't allow We are going to battle
for freedom anyhow."
Lee said "we have raised $18,000
for this campaign...most of it
came from humble surroundings."
Solo music was supplied by Lea

"if I didn't think I could be of
some good" to the schol system, I
would not have offered myself to
run." He added, "this is not just
a political campaign, this is a crusade 
for a cause larger than any
individual. We are running against
some people but for some. We are
running against those people who
asked for our votes four years ago
but who are now race-baiting
against us. He had reference to
Loeb, but he did not call him by
name.
In conclusion he said "when we
are elected the Negro children will
be able to feel a-little proud. They
will be able to walk straight with
their heads erect."
Rev. Love said "I am praying
and hoping that this will be the
last meeting until Thursday. I'll be
glad Friday morning I find, my
name, in the winner's column. He
explained "when I ran before, I
was left on third base. This time
I am running all the way to homeplate." 

He said "there are three great
powers...God, the Holy Spirit and
the ballot...We are 100 years behind 
in Memphis. Let us catch-up
at the polls next Thursday."
Lee, while setting the tempo of
the meeting said "we are not trying 
to tear race relations in Memphis, 
we are just trying to open
wider the door of freedom. We are
trying to make freedom flow down
Beale Street as it flows down Main
and Front Street. This crusade if
to open wider the doors for black
and brown children.
"Some years ago the Late W. C.
Handy started a song about "Mr.
Crump don't allow no easy riding
here. But I don't care what Mr
Crump don't allow, I'm going to..
anyhow."
"Now 100 years later we are saying. 
"We don't care what Mr. Loeb
don't allow We are going to battle
for freedom anyhow."
Lee said "we have raised $18,000
for this campaign...most of it
came from humble surroundings."
Solo music was supplied by Lea
Cunningham.
Eliehus Stanback, candidate for
City Tax Assessor was recognized,
but he was not asked to speak.
After Mrs. Bates concluded her
speech, Atty. Hooks asked many of
the civic leaders and campaign
workers to "take a bow" us their
names were called individually.
Tosastmaster was R. S. Lewis.
Jr., president of the Top Hats and
Tails club, and associated with the
Lewis funeral home.

FREEDOM ANY HOW

cause they are aware of the chicanery 
being used by some of the
white candidates, in their attempt
to build a machine and use the
Negro as a whipping boy. They are
trying to build a machine that
would make Crump appear like a
weakling in his hey day."
He added "when I am elected
I will be just as fair to a white
boy as to a black boy. I will not
send a white boy to jail just because 
he is white, nor a Negro boy
just because of his color. I was
born in the slums of Memphis and
I know the problems of Memphis.
Now I live on Parkway,"
The crowd cheered loudly when
he said "I know, what racial segregation 
is because I have been
hungry and thirsty and had money
to pay for food, but I could not
buy it because my face is black."
H pleaded for the audience to
not only vote "for me because I
know I am the best qualified candidate 
in this juvenile court race,"
but also vote for Bunton, Love and
Sugarmon.
Mrs. Bates dramatically told of
the vents of schools re-opening, after 
a year in Little Rock, which
was carried in the last issue of
this newspaper.
She hastened to point "I did not
come here as a representative of
the NAACP. All of you here know
that I am a representative of the
NAACP. But I came here tonight
in the interest of freedom. I didn't
come here at the invitation of these
candidates but I came here to help
freedom to be carried around the
world."
While telling about the school
events in Little Rock, she ardently
said "we will fight segregation as
long as I can stand." She told of
four shots being fired on her home
last Tuesday night and of the arrest 
and jailing of two of her
body guards."
She said many people ask her
why does she remain in Little
Rock in face of all the threats,
she explained "As long as school
kids like Jefferson Thomas and
Elizabeth Eckford can walk with
dignity into an angry mob. I'll
stay."
She asked "all freedom-loving
people to send President Eisenhower 
a letter" asking for protection
for her. "Because what happens to
me happenens to you.
Mrs. Bates caled the four Negro 
candidates "upstanding, dedicated, 
God Fearing men."
She asked "where are all of
the great white men of the South?
Where are the Thomas Paines.
Victor Hugos, Richard Aliens. Patrick 
Henrys" she concluded the
"eyes of the world are upon these
four Negro candidates and will be
watching on Aug 20.
Mrs. Bates was introduced by
Mrs. Marjorie Ulen, a teacher at
Manassas High School and society
writer of the Tri-State Defender.
Rev. Bunton told about receiving 
his first threatening call since
his campaign started. He added
"if I didn't think I could be of
some good" to the schol system, I
would not have offered myself to
run." He added, "this is not just
a political campaign, this is a crusade

Letters To The Editor
To the Editor:
That picture published in the
daily newspaper last week showed
the contempt that three of the
public works candidates have for
Russell Sugarmon because he is a
Negro and more so because he is
qualified and articulate.
There the three were-starring at
Sugarmon as though they wanted
to come over and punch him in
the nose.
Hatred, however, is not going to.
woo them some of the white votes
that Sugarmon is bound to get!
His appearance with his white opponents 
on television revealed to
Memphis that he is more qualified 
than all of thorn put together!

Vote Against Boushe
To the Editor:
Negroes should not forget to
Vote for Atty. Ray Churchill and
against Beverly Boushe in the city
judge race. Boushe's calling Atty.
Churchill "Boston Blackie" because
he attended a Negro political rally,
is a good indication as to why we
should support Churchill!

Another Minority
Member' Getting In
Too, Commissioner
To the Editor:
Commissioner Henry Loeb, in
calling a phony meeting to get
some of the white candidates out
of the public ivories race so Russell 
Sugarmon's chances for winning 
could be hurt, had this to
say: "I, and (Claude) Armour,
don't want to get into this, but
we have been urged to do something 
to keep a member of a minority 
group from winning."
Commissioner Loeb might not
know it, but a lot of while people
are secretly urging that something
be done to keep another "minority" 
candidate out—Leob himself.

NOT BY GUNS ALONE
By EM. Barker

"WHO do you think drove the
longhorn to the Considine
pasture?" Martha asked Jim Ned
Wheeler, her voice tight and
strained.
The old cowman squinted
through a thick haze of tobacco
smoke as his eyes scanned the
distant ridges.
"There's several schools of
thought on that," he replied.
"Wynn say a it's Slade Considine
—to keep us so busy fighting
among ourselves that we won't
have time to notice the Forest
Service is moving in on us."
"That sounds plain crazy to
me," Martha said stoutly. But
she had a lot of faith in Jim
Ned's judgment, and the worry in
her heart tightened while she
waited for his answer.
"Maybe," he agreed placidly,
his face as noncommittal as the
face of a wooden Indian. "I think
we will take a little jaunt over
to the Escabrosa before we ride
out the rest of this country."
He neck-reined his pony sharply 
to the right and Martha urged
the bay up alongside.
"Who does the Escabrosa belong 
to?" she asked.
"Why, I reckon Slade Considine
would say it belongs to the Forest
Service. It is a long narrow strip
of gosh-awful rough country that
lies most of the way between the
Walking K and the 143, with
Escabrosa Creek box running
about through the middle of it.
Most of it ain't much good, but
there's some fine  up toward
the head that we call the Valle
Medio. I guess it's a good thing
it's there between us or we might
have come to gun-slinging with
Considine's outfit years ago. As
It is there isn't any way to get
into the canyon nor across it
without you go way down through
T Anchor land. So we always let
the Thomasons have the ."
"Do you suppose some of the
bulls might have drifted up
there?"
Jim Ned's eyes stopped searching 
the horizon to give her a
quick, sharp look. "Might be too
bad for them it they have," he
said dryly. "Wynn claims it has
got so full of wild larkspur that it
isn't safe to run any livestock
up there, any more. I Wouldn't
know about that. I haven't been
up there since Jeff Thomason
died—I guess that has been ten
years anyhow. He used to have
a cabin up there and sometimes
I went hunting with him."
As they rode, his voice went
on describing the lay of the country, 
explaining the boundaries of
each of the big ranches, but now
"Martha was not listening. From
some secret place in her mind,

where she had tried to shut them
away, she drew out all her memories 
of Slade Considine and went
over them one by one. She had
never known anyone quite like
him. She had tried not to think
about him—or at least to think
about him only with complete indifference 
when she learned he
was the nephew of her grandmother's 
old enemy.
Jim Ned saw that the girl was
lost in some world of her own
and fell silent. Even when they
finally reached Escabrosa Creek,
and the bay fell behind on the
narrow trail, she roused only
momentarily from her reverie.
A half mile up the canyon Jim
Ned stopped ostensibly to give his
horse a breathing spell, for the
climb was steep, but his face was
sober now and thoughtful as he
looked at the girl. Martha jerked
herself back to reality.
She looked with awe at the
towering cliffs that flanked either
side of the swift-rushing little
stream, and shivered a little as a
light breeze cut through her thin
cotton shirt. "Is this the Escabrosa?" 
she asked.
Jim Ned nodded without looking 
up from his scrutiny of the
hard-packed trail. Now suddenly
he swung down from the saddle,
and picked up a long, slim rod of
iron from beside the trail.
Martha saw the grave lines in
his face deepen, and knew that he
was worried.
"Jim Ned, I thought you said
Wynn wasn't using the Valle any
more. The trail looks like it has
been travelled a lot lately. Does
it go anywhere else?"
The old foreman shook his head.
"I noticed that, too," he said
grimly. He came back and stood
by the girl's horse. "Martha, this
is mighty rough country, and I
may have some hard riding ahead
of me. I'm afraid you will be in
the way. Would you mind going
back by yourself?"
Martha wasn't fooled. She knew
he was not riding up to the Valle
to look for stray bulls. But she
knew, too, how inadequate her
own riding ability was if they
should really get in a tight spot.
She smiled and tried to hide
her disappointment "Of course, I
will go back If you want me to,"
she agreed quietly. "But I Would
like to go on—if I can help you.
I'm not afraid."
Jim Ned smiled. "No," he said
kindly. "You wouldn't be afraid.
But you better go on back. Sure
you can find your way?"
"I'll be an right," Martha said.
"Don't worry about me."
But Jim Ned had new the
doubt in her eyes. "Better yet—
suppose you wait for me and we
will finish our side this afternoon.

You go down this trail ail about a
half-mile—keep your eye out for
ah old dim trail turning off to
the right. Follow that until you
get over, the next ridge, then wait
for me some place on the sunny
hillside. It will be warm there and
out of the wind. I shouldn't be
gone more than an hour or two.
We'll eat our lunch there, and
then ride out these other hills this
afternoon. How's that?"
"Fine."
He untied the slicker from the
back of tier saddle. "I'm going to
roll' this branding iron up in
here. It will be in my way if I
do much brush popping. I think
Rachel might like to see it."
Jim Ned tightened his cinch,
then rolled a smoke, taking his
time about It until Martha was
out of sight over the ridge. At the
turn of the canyon she waved
back at him then let her horse
break into a Jogging, downhill
trot.
Jim Ned stepped into the saddle, 
then he re-adjusted the gun
at his hip forward a little, for
easier, quicker drawing. The butt
of the gun felt awkward under
his hand.
He knew what he was likely
heading into as he reined his
horse up the trail to the Valle
Medio, but there was no fear in
his heart, only a quiet determination. 

The long-standing quarrel between 
Nick Considine and Rachel
Kilgore had been a foolish and
bitter, one, taut at least it had
been honest between two honorable 
people. The trouble in the
Chupaderos now was trouble of a
different sort. Meanness, trickery
and hatred had somehow crept
into what should have been a
fair and open struggle between
stubborn-headed livestock owners
and a possibly over-zealous plan
of government.
Jim Ned had thought all along
that Mrs. Kilgore's over-hasty
stand against the Forest Service
was wrong and he had told her
so, but his loyalty to the cholerictempered 
old lady went ail the
way. Right or wrong he had been
ready to carry out her orders,
confident that her good sense and
honesty would eventually swing,
her into the right trail.
Today he wasn't carrying out
her orders. If she had been here
he knew she would have forbade
his going up this trail alonebut 
just the same it was a thins
be had to do.

Let's Not Smear Loeb
Because Of Religion
To The Editor:
Regardless of Commissioner Henry 
Loeb's deplorable altitude toward 
the Negro race in this campaign, 
I do not advocate smearing
the candidate for mayor because
he is a Jew, and I am personally
shocked by some of your recent,
letters to the editor.
I know that it hurts for a member 
of one minority to kick members 
of another minority in the
face, but I believe it would be much
better to pray for these kind of
people than condemning them.
I believe that most of the thinkin? 
Jews in this country are in
sympathy with the Negro cause,
but bigotry is apparently contagious, 
and some of them have
caught the disease. We, regardless,
can't cure bigotry being bigots ourselves.

An Open Letter

cowards, by admitting defeat before 
the day of battle; and too,
against their own consciences,
throw in the winds what to some
may be their final chance, and run
to cover before the march of progress, 
thus making themselves the
laughing stock of the nation?
4. What embellishment could use
to elevate such a move above the
slacked deck Bind loaded dice of
the wild west era?
We pray, that you will thing
seriously, and look wisely and, by
all means, avoid the very appearance 
of any political purge or cheap
politics, with expensive implications.
As Ministers and citizens, we believe, 
that in the name of Christianity, 
democracy, and good sportsmanship, 
you in your aspirations to
become Mayor of Memphis —
should, in all things, be free from
un-American and unethical entanglements.

Negro Candidates

political campaign to be spotless.
However, it is the cleanet campaign.
I've ever sseen conducted in Memphis. 
I feel that it will be a fair
elections There are some other
things I would like to say, but I'll
wait until after the election."
ATTY. BEN L. HOOKS of 1860
S. Parkway-East, candidate for
Juvenile Court Judge: (Atty. Hooks
who was called out of the city had
his answers supplied by his brother 
who has been a condident during 
the campaign:)
"My chances of winning are
good. I (think that 40,000 vote will
carry me into office.
"No. This definitely has not been
a clean campaign. First let me explain 
it. Other candidates in the
race have conducted a Clean campaign 
but the two daily newspaper
has definitely not conducted a clean
campaign. On all polls they have
designated "Negro". In their electors 
and news stories they have
used ever means to get the Negro
candidates out of the campaign.
"Your last question about this
being a fair election, will have to
be answered in two parts: Part A:
far as the Judges and other poll
workers I believe this will be a fair
election: Part, B: This will not be
a fair election where some of the
merchants and plantation owners
are concerned. Many has been accused 
of trying to scheme to keep
Negro cooks and maids on their
jobs until after the polls close.
Plantatin Owners will attempt to
keep cotton pickers in the field until 
the polls close. They will try
many tricks."
REV. ROY LOVE, 563 Vance Ave.,
candidate for Board of Education
(position 2.) was not available.
However, throughout his campaign
he has said "I am going to win
this time. I just missed out before,
but I am going to win this time."

board of directors appear at a public

in protest of the integration of
Central High." Mrs. Jackson said.
"He went too far in clubbing two
men over the head without any
provacation."
Mayor Knoop said he would
have to take the request up with,
the city directors. He said there
was a meeting Monday night, and
it might be brought up then.
Smith said he had "no comment"
on the charges
There has been no disorder since
police broke up the demonstration
shortly before Central opened its
doors for the first time since 1957.
Gov. Orbus closed the high
schools  But both sides of
the integration controversy warned 
that there was more trobule to

come.
Before Faubus left for a weekend 
fishing trip, he told newsmen
that people will not come to Little
Rock for "a long, long time." He
said police handled the demonstration 
like the Russians handled
the Hungarian revolt.

MONDAY NIGHT MEETING

board of directors appear at a public

brutality.
She asked that the meeting be
called immediately.
"We want to ask who gave Gene
Smith the right to use such brutal 
force against such unarmed people 
who were peaceably assembled
in protest of the integration of

Natchez Trace Area Opened
To Deer Hunting This Fall
Until recently, when Tennesseans
had a desire to hunt big gave, it
was necessary for them to look to
other states to fulfill their desires.
However, in the past decade we
have realized a great increase in
big game population, especially the
white-tail deer.
This great game animal, at one
time plentiful throughout the Volunteer 
State, was a victim of the
advancement of civilization and almost 
disappeared completely from
the scene. Had not the sportsmen
of this State realized this and did
something about it, it might have
been too late.
The creation of a Commission
form of administering One affairs
of the State, pertaining to all game
and fish matters, came about after 
some top level thinking in the
hate 1940's. Since that time. Tennessee 
has gained National recognition 
as the protection of sound
management, protection and habitat 
improvement began to pay off
in increased numbers of game populations. 

Deer restoration by the Game
and Fish Commission actually began 
to in late 30's with a program 
of purchasing deer from other 
states and releasing them on
managed lands in Tennessee, such
as state forests and parks. On these
areas, deer were protected from
their chief enemies; stray dogs and
poachers.
Prior to this stocking program
there were only a few scattered
dear in the State and they were
molested and killed by dogs, and
poachers until the herds were kept
at a minimum, consequently, they
were, of no value to the hunters.
Under a program of wise management 
and development, deer
have increased on most of the managed 
Areas to a point where hunts
are held each year to harvest surplus 
animals. Additional areas were
developed and more deer were
trapped and released on these
areas, and in 1953 deer restoration
was expanded to include suitable
private lands. However, privatelands 
sue stocked after thorough
investigations toy well-trained biologists 
to determine a the land is
suitable and will support deer. Public 
hearings are held to determine
if tile landowners want deer.
Today, there are 17 wildlife
management areas throughout the
State where deer hunts are held
each year, three of which are tocated 
on West Tennessee. Shelby
Forest near Memphis, Reelfoot
Lake Area near Tiptonville and
the Natchez Trace Area near Lexington, 
will be open.
Hunters will have their first opportunity 
to try for a dew on the
Natchez Trace Area this season
when four hunts will be held there
in November. Bill Sade, Area
Manager for the Commission, reponts 
a large number of deer on
the Natchez Trace Area. The deer
were stocked in 1953.
Areas where deer have been released 
on private holdings in West
Tennessee include an area in Hardeman. 
McNary and Chester counties 
(where deer were released in
1954. A unit in Lauderdale County 
was stocked in 1955, MadisonChester 
unit in 1957, and a unit
in Weakly and Henry Counties
was stocked this past spring.
Three-furths of the money for
the deer restoration program comes
from the Federal Aid program and
the area must be closed to deer
hunting for at least; five years to
allow the herds to develop.
Information hi regard to deer
hunting in your county may be ob

by contacting your local
Game and Fish Officer.

Faubus Flays

24 demonstrators. There hasn't
been any trouble since.
Faubus said the director of
state police told him it looks "relatively 
quiet" and he is leaving
Little Rock for three or four days
to go fishing.
He said he will order the state
police and National Guard to take
over in the future If local police
can't handle segregationist demonstrators. 

Faubus denounced as a "grandstand 
play" a plea of Mrs. L. C.
Bates to President Eisenhower for
protection: Mrs. Bates is the Arkansas 
President of the National
Association for Advancement of
the Colored People and leads the
integration drive in Little Rock.
Mrs. Bates' telegram to Eisenhower 
reached the White House
Friday, but there was no comment
on it.
She telegraphed the President
late Thursday after state police arrested 
for carrying concealed weapons 
three Negroes who, she said,
were "volunteer guards" of her
home.
They were Dr. Gorman P. Freeman, 
a dentist; Isaac Mullen, 42,
who had a deputy sheriff's commission 
to guard her home, and
Ellis Thomas Sr., 45, father of
Jefferson Thomas, the Negro student 
attending Central.
"There certainly was no harrassment 
on the part ot state police
and under the laws of this state
anyone carrying, weapons illegally
will be prosecuted," Faubus said.
As to the situation at the integrated 
schools, Faubus said:
"Of course, it's quiet now. It's
quiet in Hungary. The burdens of
police Chief Gene Smith have
just begun. So have the burdens
of those who give Gene Smith his
orders,
But he said he does not think
more demonstration will do any
good.

FAUBUS GOING FISHING

Track Meet Newton,
And Law Of Gravity
The law of gravity may take
some inches off the records of Latin 
American athletes when they
comm in the Pan-American
Games in Chicago.
To most sports fans, Newton and
Einstein are out of their element
on the playing field. But The World
Book Encyclopedia explains that
the force of gravity — which keeps
third base on the ground and prevents 
a high jumper from clearing
the moon — varies over the earth's
surface. It gets weaker as one travels 
toward the equator or farther
a above sea level.
This means that a javelin thrown
in the Panama canal Zone would
travel 3 1-2 inches farther than in
Madison. Wisconsin. It would travel
about one foot farther than at the
North Pole.
A broad jumper would hap 3-8
inches farther Hi Texas than he
would in Massachusetts. And a
would thrown 50 feet in Finland
would travel an inch farther la
Reme.
The upshot is that most Latin
American athletes will be fighting
stronger gravity in Chicago. All
other conditions being equal, it
might be difficult to set any records 
over those established in the
second Pan-American Games held
in Mexico City in 1955.
The capital of Mexico sits on a
high plateau more than 7,000 feet
above sea level, and dot too far
from the equator. Chicago, many
degrees month of the equator, barely 
keeps its feet dry at 600 feet above 
sea level.
The best place for setting records 
probably would be in Lima,
Peru. Nestled in equatorial mountains, 
Lima has the world's- weakest
gravity.
Of course, the variations of
Mother Earth give no side an advantage 
in a particular contest.
But, theoretically, they could foul
up international records.
What do the gentlemen with tape
measures do about all this They
ignore it. They figure it will all
come out right in the end.
