Our good friend Arthur Irons, a former Memphian who has lived in New York City so long that he Considers himself a native New Yorker. We hadn't been in town hardly twelve hours before Arthur came by for a night on the town. A peasant evening was enjoyed as he showed us that he knew his way around town. During the past few weeks the pennant race in each league seems to have tightened up quite a bit with the Yankees, Orioles and While Sox only a game or two apart for first place in the American League, and Philadelphia, and San Francisco fighting it out for first place in the National, with Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Milwaukee and St. Louis only a few games back. So, it is still anybody's pennant and the lead is likely to change several times before the season ends. The teams in both leagues haven't been able to put on an extended winning streak. The longest in the National this season was six games by St. Louis, while over in the American the competition has been just as tight. It could go down to the wire in to about evenly matched. There both leagues as the teams appear are some who thought the Yankees had made their move when they took over the lead a few weeks ago, but the Orioles have been hanging in there.

One white youth was killed and three others wounded. Billy Wayne Wallace, 18, was shot, to death following what homicide Capt. Will Fritz said was a "teenage name calling session near the shores of White Rock Lake. Four Negroes were being held for questioning in the shooting. An earlier incident about the same time hear downtown Dallas, two 23-year-old white men,. Joel Bolin and Thurman Boyd, were shot and wounded by Negro attackers, who fled in the early morning darkness. The racial outbreaks follow closer ly on the heels of a prediction by tome civil rights leaders that Dallas could have trouble between the races. Last week Dallas Police Chief Jesse Curry said he wanted. to up the number of race riottrained police for the city. Clarence Laws, regional director for the National Association for the 'Advancement of Colored People, said "in my opinion the shootings are not racial incidents, and the people of Dallas ought to have all facts before making judgement." RFK Says Won't Run Unless Okayed By Mayor Atty. Gen. Robert E. Kennedy said Monday he would not run for U.S. senator from New York state without the approval of Mayor Robert F. Wagner who, as the state party's titular head, showed little enthusiasm for the idea. Although Wagner's reaction did not close the door on the possibility of Kennedy becoming the Democratic nominee to oppose Republican Sen. Kenneth Keating in November, it did nothing to help along a "draft", movement Kennedy forces have been trying to develop. Kennedy had once ruled out the possibility of his becoming a senatorial candidate. But he reconsidered when President Johnson ruled him out as a vice presidential running mate. Kennedy and Wagner both spoke Monday at the American Bar Association convention. Kennedy told newsmen that he would not, under any circumstances, run "without the approval" of Wagner. "If I would disrupt the Democratic party in New York, I would not come into the state," he said. Wagner was asked to comment on reports that Kennedy had the support of Rep. Adam Clayton Powell of Harlem and three county leaders, Rep. Charles A. Buckley of the Bronx, Peter J. Crotty of Buffalo and Stanley Steingut of Brooklyn — all foes of Wagner in intraparty battles. "I am sure any candidate would want far wider support than that," Wagner said crisply. He said that Kennedy had his "personal esteem" and that, if the late President's brother should decide to run, that every consideration should be given to his bid for the nomination. "I think, however, that we have quite a number of local candidates," Wagner said. NAACP Asks Help In Monroe, State Rights Arrests Youth Field Secretary NAACP, Bobby L. Hill in a wire to Attorney General Robert Kennedy requested "immediate action" by the Justice Department "to enjoin local and State officials from what is a clear violation of the laws of the land. In another wire to Attorney General State of Georgia, Mr. Eugene Cook, the NAACP said, "recent arrests of Negroes who sought service at public places in Monroe, Ga. by county officials, and threats, of further arrests throughout the state prompts this request: "We request that you, Mr. Cook, advise all local and state officials of their new responsibilities as they relate to the Civil Rights Act of 1964. "We request that you advise law enforcement officials, throughout the state, that arrest of citizens who seek service at "public places," in an orderly fashion, is now illegal and is in fact a criminal act, by those officials. "We request that you spare the state and the many un-knowledgeable enforcement officials throughout the state the confusion and embarrassment which necessarily flows from these arrests, by clearly outlining what they may and may not do, legally. "We request that you, Mr. Attorney General, take the initiative of informing us all of our rights, so we all may act to mitigate the unwarranted arrests, cost, ill-will, and time which follows our collective ignorance." "We request that, as a first positive step you take the immediate action to have the five Negroes released who are now being held without cause, by officials at Monroe, Georgia." Six youths remained in jail for that fifth day — waiting action by the federal officials. All Monroe establishments yet refuse service to Negroes, it was stated. The state NAACP was refused in its request to Attorney General Eugene Cook. Cook answered the NAACP by saying it was the responsibility of the federal government to enforce the civil rights act, and that it is now unlawful to arrest persons who sought service at places of public accommodation.

USIA Director Carl T. Rowan told the annual convention of the American Field Service Monday that the 1964 Civil Rights Bill "is a document of the same revolutionary implications as the Declaration of Independence. Addressing the 50th anniversary convention of the organization dedicated to the international exchange of students, Mr. Rowan credited President Kennedy with proposing the legislation and said President Johnson "promoted it through Congress and signed it into law." "But it was Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin and George Washington who planted the seed of that law," Mr. Rowan added, "That law will change America. It will bring all Americans closer to the promise of 1776. To the Negro minority of the United States it will bring new opportunities and ever-increasing. fulfillment of the American dream." The man responsible for projecting the image of America around the world raised the American Field Service for providing, scholarships to the colored minority in the united' States which "already stands high economically relative to most other people of the world." He noted that there are more nonwhites in American universities than there are Germans in German universities, and observed that "American Negroes own more automobiles than all the peoples of Africa put together, plus the entire population of Russia. "These are impressive facts," Mr. Rowan concluded. "But Americans know that they are not enough That is why racial unrest lingers in this country — not because the Negro has not made progress, but because both he, and the overwhelming majority of white Americans.

J. UPTON PRESIDENT BERNARD RILEY GEN. MANAGER Some Weep, Others Gaze Silently At Rites For Goodman A middle-age woman wept uncontrollably. "They killed him, my baby. They killed him," she moaned. Four other women three of them white, one a Negro—linked hands and swayed together as they sang the civil rights anthem, "We Shall Overcome." Some of the crowd joined in softly but most stood silently Sunday as a polished oak coffin bearing the body of Andrew Goodman was placed in a hearse bound for Mt. Judah Cemetery in Queens. More than 6,000 persons gathered to pay their last respects to the 20-year-old college student, one of three civil rights workers killed seven weeks ago in Mississippi. Some 2,000 sat in oak pews and several hundred more lined the paneled wells of the meeting hall of Ethical Culture Society. Another 4,000 waited quietly outside during the hour-long service. Among the mourners was Mrs. Patty Smith, who had been housekeeper to the Goodmans for 15 years. "I raised that boy since he was born," she wept "They killed him, my baby. They killed him." Mr. and Mrs. Robert W. Goodman, parents of the dead youth, his two younger brothers, David and Jonathan, and other members of the family sat motionless in front pews facing the sealed coffin during the service. Also at the services were the immediate families of the other two slain Mississippi volunteers whose shot and beaten bodies were unearthed Tuesday near Philadelphia, Miss. Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Schwerner of Pelham, N. Y. and Mrs. Rita Schwe of Brodlyn, parent and wife of Michael Schwerner, 24, were to attend memorial services for him Sunday night.

"If you go back home and take discrimination, now then I say G-D-your soul," he cried. His voice broke and he rushed off the-platform sobbing.

TCA-Backed Candidates Gain Runoff Six Negro candidates were defeated in A City election Tuesday but two others gained run-off spots against white opposition in this east-central Alabama town where Negro voters outnumber whites by a 104margin. The race was to choose five city councilmen from a field of eight Negro and seven white candidates. Mayor Howard Ruthford was the only man on the ballot not opposed by a Negro. The Rev. K. L. Buford and Dr. Stanley H. Smith, Negroes backed by the Tuskegee Civic Association TCA piled up enough votes to force runoffs Sept. 15. The six Negro candidates who ran independently against white incumbents were defeated by substantial margins in the race for council seats. Political observers here said it appeared. Negro voters had thrown their support behind the two TCAbacked candidates and deserted the six Negroes who ran independently. Although Rutherford had no Negro opposition, he faces a runoff race against C. M. Keever, a white candidate. Segregation Bars Crumble In Mobile Segregation crumbled in two more areas this week as a result of the vigilant joint action of the Non-Partisan Voters League and the Citizens' Committee, under the direction of J. L. FeFlore, director of case work for the Citizens' Committee. A petition was filed several weeks ago with the Mobile County Board of Registrars against segregation in the board's facilities, by J. L. LeFlore, director of case work for the Citizens Committee. LeFlore said in the petition that segregation of any public facility is unconstitutional and cited federal court decisions to uphold hit contention. He would not name the other area where desegregation was achieved, pointing out that he would be reluctant to issue a public statement on the question without to consent of others concerned.
