The action was a follow up to the court's warning last week in a Memphis recreation case that the doctrine of "all deliberate speed" enuciated eight years ago was being misused to stall desegregation. Clark, as the court did last week, noted the eight-year time lapse. "The context in which we must interpret and apply this language to plans for desegregation has been significantly altered," the Texas jurist said. In setting up a gradual desegregation program. Knoxville and Davidson County, which includes Nashville, first reamed their school districts. The two communities then said that the only pupils allowed to transfer were those from a school which formerly served only the other race that is a white student from a previously all-Negro school or vice versa or from a school which now is composed of a majority of the other race. Thus Negroes in a predominantly Negro school would have to stay put. On the other hand, the rules could allow a white student sent to a school where there was ft majority of Negroes to get a transfer back to a predominantly white school. In another school case, the court voted 8-1 that a group of Negro children in an elementary school at Cahokia, Ill., outside East St. Louis, were entitled to bring suit in federal court on claims that racial discrimination was bein practiced there.

He reiterated he would personally be waiting to bar them at the door. Wallace said on a television news program things would be "peaceful and serene' 'and "we are not going to have any violence" when the Negroes try to enter the Universlty of Alabama. The outspoken segregationist refused to acknowledge that he had been "ambushed" and served a subpoena in Birmingham earlier Sunday ordering him to appear Monday in U S.

"I don't know that I have received a legal service in any court matter pending," Wallace declared. He added, however, that he would be represented by attorneys when the court convenes in Birmingham Monday. "My presence is not necessary," he said. Deputy U. S. Marshal Donald Forsht served Wallace with the subpoena as he boarded a jetliner Sunday en route to his television appearance. "The governor took the papers 1n his hand with a look of bewilderment and amazement," Marshal Payton Norville said in Birmingham. Negro and white pickets paraded outside Rockefeller Center in mid town Manhattan while Wallace was appearing on the program. Scores of police were on hand to prevent any incidents but the estimated 100 to 150 demonstrators did not see Wallace, who entered the building through a basement entrance. Inside, Wallace declared to a questioner: "I have stated many times the action I am going to take in Tuscaloosa. I will take no action that would not be in keeping with the dignity and integrity of the people of Alabama. "I shall stand at the door as I stated, but, of course, as governor it will not be as an individual but as the people of Alabama. We are not going to have any violence .. The first man who throws a rock or brick or bottle will find himself arrested." Wallace said he held the hope that the U S Supreme Court might rule in favor of "separate but equal" school facilities in Alabama.

Wallace Jones Over Dodge Ramcharger In Super Stock Race Wallace "Fox" Jones brought home double super stock money lost Saturday night by defeating the Northside Boy's Dodge Ram charger and Pete "Fireball" Lester. The Fox really had to turn it on against Pete, as he only beat him by one car length, which is all it takes to win. The Northside boys must have been really pushing those bottons when they ran the Fox, because just before Levere Daniels, driving the Dodge, crossed the finish line after the Fox, he blew the engine all over the track. Fox had best time of the night with a 12:68 E.T. fur 150.00. T.V. Holcombe was there with his 409 Chev (The Hustler), but had some trouble, and was unable to run for the money. After the race I was told by T. V. Holcombe, that he is sure that he will beat Fox for first place super stock money this coming Saturday night with 'The Hustler." Pete "Fireball" Lester also says the Fox can leave his 427 Ford home because he is going to beat him for second., place super stock money with an E.T. of about 12:50. There is a mocking bird flying around town, saying if Fox doesn't look out that Roosevelt Johnson will take third place money this Saturday night, little Jack won second place money with a 14:86 E.T. and $100. Fireball won third and $ 50. Everybody should look out for Joe Johnson, because, I hear that he is building a super stock cat that he says should turn ETTs, in the low 12:20s. C—stock—Joseph Williams, William Brown, C—gas—Otis Gibbs— 14:8a B.T, $30. D—gas— "Fat" Harris,13:98 E.T., $70. Cheating four barrell—William Brown, 15:14 E.T G—gas—Charles Connally $35. $100 first place. Second place $50, third place $25.

The bill to open up public facilities to Negroes was built around the doctrine that segregation business establishments was an unlaw, ful burden on interstate commerce.. It would, in effect, prohibit state or city police from interfering with attempts by Negroes to receive service at hotels, restaurants stores and other facilities.

It was said to cover, with some ex. ceptions, hotels, motels, rental stores, sports stadiums, movie houses, legitimate theaters, restaurants and exhibition halls. The exceptions would be small hotels, motels; stores and retaurants which are family-owned or have a low volume of business. The second bill is designed to reduce delay in school integration. It would allow the attorney general to file suits on behalf of Negroes, cutting down the time spent on litigation. It would encourage communities to adopt Integration plans with; federal help. Disclosure of details of the proposed legislation came amid these other Washington developments. —James Farmer, director of the Congress of Racial Equality, predicted that segregation in public places would be wiped out in two or three years except in a few "hard' core" southern areas, He told the National Association of Market Developers that "we are on the threshhold of a fullfledged revolt that will bring down the wall of segregation." —The Senate judiciary subcom mittee announced it wilt - resume hearings Wednesday on civil rights oills The Senate Republican conference, composed of all GCP sen– ators, will discuss civil rights the same day.
