Ohio Senator Says
He's Shocked; Death
Notice By Phone
Sen.
Stephen M. Young. D-ohio said
Monday he was shocked and astounded 
that Western Union sometimes 
telephoned rather than handdelivered 
telegrams notifying parents 
that their sons had bee Killed 
in Viet Nam.
In a Senate speech, Young said
"This cold, heartless practice is
inexcusable." Families of men killed 
in Viet Nam "are entitled to
more dignified and humane treatment." 
he said.
A Western Union Spokesman
here said that only in rare instances 
are casualty telegrams not
deavered by hand. He said there is
a strict regulation that such wires
be delivered, regardless of where
the addressee lives.
The government automatically
authorizes up to $5 for special delivery 
arrangements for such messages 
and will authorize larger
amounts if necessary the spokesman 
said.
The Western Union spokesman
said, however, that where a messenger 
may not find an addressee at
home he will leave a notification.
It the address, on telephoning the
local Western Union office, demands 
that the message be read

first, this is done, he said.
Young's speech was prompted by
a published account, that the
family of James A. Hall, 19, of
Lake wood, Ohio, was notified by
Western Union by telephone that
he was killed in Viet Nam.
Young said, "The least we can
do is assure our fighting men and
their families - when the worst
rimes - if that we will give them
dignity in death."

First Negro
To Enter Miss.
State University
Richard Holmes Monday became
the first Negro to enter Mississippi.
State University. There were no incidents 
and he said he hoped the
public would forget about him.
The quiet enrollment of Holmes,
a pre-medical student, was in sharp
contrast to the admission of Negro
James Meredith to the University
of Mississippi in 1962 when two
persons were killed amid mass rioting. 

Holmes said he had 'a rather
warm reception and met no hostility 
at all."
"As a lifelong Mississippian, I am
here to study and learn at a highrated 
Mississippi university which
happens to be in my hometown. I
seek no special favors and I hope
there will be no impediments from
any source during my stay here at
state," he said.
Holmes said he did not intend to
participate in sports or special
functions at the school during the
summer session and had not decided 
whether he would attend the
regular fall term.
His decision to attend the school,
Holmes said, was not prompted by
any civil rights groups.
"I did not come here for fanfare
or publicity," he said, and added
that he hoped the public would
forget about him.

To Determine
Political Plans
Sen.
George A. Smathers, D-Fla., said
Monday he was awaiting medical
information before deciding whether 
to run for a fourth term in 1968.
"Until that information is available, 
speculation about my future
plans can only be inconclusive,'
Smathers said In a newsletter. He
added that he expected to have
medical reports by early fall.
Recent concern about Smather's
health has led speculation on possible 
successors and candidates
should 'be 51-year-old lawmaker

now undersecretary of commerce,
and Rep. Charles Bennett of Jacksonville. 

Bennett has stated definitely that
he will run for the Senate if Smathers 
retires. Collins has declined
to mlake any flat, statement.
There has also been talk that
Gov. Haydon Burns might seek
the office.
In his newsletter, Smathers said.
"It is true I have been undergoing 
medical tests but so far
they have provided no definite information 
on the extent of my
problem.
"I have limited my personal appearances 
to safeguard my health
but have participated on the fullest 
extent of my ability in meeting 
my senatorial responsibilities
and in representing Florida and the
nation."

NAACP Files Job Complaints
Against 10 Businesses, Unions
The National Association for the Advancement 
of Colored People Thursday filed complaints of job
discrimination against 10 businesses and five labor unions.
Seven of the complaints, filed under 
the new civil rights law, charged 
anti-Negro bias in hiring by New
Orleans firms. The NAACP charged
the labor unions with maintaining
racially separate locals or seniority
lists.
Herbert Hill, national labor secretary 
for the NAACP, and Robert
L. Carter, the organization's general
counsel, filed the charges with the
newly created Equal Employment
Opportunity Commision.
They also met with Commission
Chairman Franklin D. Roosevelt
Jr. and told him they plan to file
"many valid complaints" under
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act,
That section went into effect July
2.
Hill said the following firms and
unions were named In the complaints: 

Southern Bell Telephone Co. and
Bears, Roebuck stores, both in New
Orleans; Kroser flaking Co., Memphis;; 
New Orleans Public Service,

Inc., and four New Orleans department 
stores-Masion Blanche, Godchaux's 
D. H. Holmes Co. And
Marks-Isaac.
Complaints were filed against the
Brown Iron Foundry Co. Bermico
Division and the International
Moulders and Allied Workers union
in Birmingham, Ala.
Charges also were filed against
Darling and Co., and the International 
Chemical Workers Union
Brotherhood of Carpenters, Brotherhood 
of Electrical Workers and
Operating Engineers' unions at the
East St. Louis, III, plant of the
Darling corporation.
Hill said the Birmingham complaint 
was aimed against segregated 
seniority systems which limit
Negroes to unskilled job classifications 
and lower their earnings opportunities. 

"If the commission cannot secure
compliance through conciliation,'
Carter said, "It's our intention to
go to court."


Negro Police Chief Said
Hired To Divide Negroes
A Negro integration leader
said Sunday that the hiring of a Negro police chief in this small
northeast Georgia town was a deliberate attempt to divide the
Negroes.
This was the summation given by
the Rev. Andy Young, executive
director of Dr. Martin Luther
King's Southern Christian Leadership 
Conference at a mass protest
meeting.
Some 200 Negroes, then marched
from the Friendship Baptist Church
scene of the meeting, for an orderly
protest demonstration on the court
house square, "here 31 Negroes
were arrested Saturday.
The arrested demonstrators,
charged with disturbing the peace
with their freedom songs, are to be
tried Monday night before Crawfordville 
Mayor William Glynn
Taylor.
No arrests or other incident? occurred 
at the Sunday demonstration, 
which had been arranged with
officials in advance. About 100
whites watched as spectators.
The target of the demonstration,
Police Chief Jesse Meadows, was
not on hand to see it. The 66 -yearold 
retired Negro sawmill worker
remained at home. It was his day
off.
News that Meadows had been
hired last Thursday caused widespread 
criticism among civil rights
organizations. Sources among Crawfordville 
whites said the Negro had
never joined a month - long voter
registration movement here.
"We don't care whether he's pol1 
kit dot, green. Negro or white,"
Young told about 240 persons at
the mass meeting in the Friendship
Baptist Church.
"If he is a bad police chief, were
against him,"
"This is a deliberate attempt to
split the Negro community and distort 
the issue?. The feeling is that
a Negro ran compromise us out of

our constitutional rights and we
won't complain."
Meadow's made headlines during
his second day of patroling the
square around the Taliaferro County 
courthouse with a pistol when
he performed his first official not
— arresting a Negro demonstrator.
The Negro was identified as
Frank Bates. Bates' brother Fred
Bates was arrested Saturday while
telling persons not to patronize a
store the Negroes are seeking to
boycott.
The 31 arrested later Saturday
had been protesting the second arrest. 

The SCLC leaders said the demonstrations 
will continue, as they
have during the past two months.
The chief targets we voter registration 
of Negroes, better jobs and
school desegregation.
The Rev. M. J. Jackson, pastor
of a local Negro church, told the
gathering, "It's time you and I
were enjoying the freedoms we have
been reading about and drink the
milk and honey of our constitution." 

Young added: "The light of
Crawfordville will shine all over the
world."
Young of Atlanta, discussed the
hiring of Meadows at length.
"I am happy they've got a Negro 
police chief," he said.
"If he's going to be a rat, we've
irrit to love the hell out of a rat.
We must find good in him. We
don't want violence."
Richard Copeland, an SCLC
worker, said Mayor Taylor had
called for a meeting of Negroes and
whites at. A conference table Monday 
night. Taylor and other whites
could not be reached for comment.

on Jan 15, 1935. As a notional
scholarship winner, he completed
his undergraduate work at Amherst, 
College in 1956 and was
graduated cum laude.
He received his law dewee from
the Columbia University School of
Law in 1960 and was admitted to
the bar in 1961.
Amaker first, captured the national 
spotlight on a gusty afternoon 
in the deep south as he rose
to his feet in a crowded Alabama
courtroom in June of 1963 to object
to the use of the first name of a
Negro woman by a southern prosecutor 
cross-examining her.
The case of "Miss" Mary Hamilton, 
who refused to be called
"Mary", received national attention 
when it was carried by NAACP
Legal Defense Fund Attorneys to
the U. S. Supreme Court. The court
ruled that Amaker was correct in
raising his objection to that age old
southern custom.
This was another far-reaching
Legal Defense Fund Victory that
struck at the heart of a basic indignity 
to Southern Negroes.
In 1963, for example, the Legal
Defense Fund Victory defended 10487 
citizens arrested during peaceful 
demonstrations against discrimination; 
represented Negro Americans 
in 30 cases presented to the
U. S. Supreme Court for neview nd
fought 168 separate groups of legal
actions in 15 states on behalf of
thousands of Negroes seeking basic
constitutional rights.
Amaker with other attorneys, of
this Legal Defense Fund, was an
integral part of this massive legal
effort.

Russia s Zond-3
Sending Data From
140,000 Miles
Rissia reported 
its Zond-3 sun rocket in
good working order Monday and
said it had sped past the 140,000
mile mark, radioing scientific data
back to earth.
The official news agency Tass
said Zond would radio back more
information as it continues along
its "heliocentric sun centered orbit."
Zond-3 was launched Sunday
to top a three-day burst of space
activity which has seen the Soviets 
blast seven satellites—including
a 12.2 ton monster—into the cosmos. 

Western express speculated the

Russians are going through preliminaries 
for a manned space
spectacular. But there is no indication 
when this will come.
Societ authorities said very little
about what Zond-3 is supposed, to
do except that it will study "conditions 
of prolonged space flight"
and carry out "scientific studies."
There was no disclosure of its
Weight.
The previous rocket in the Zond
series, No, 2, was a Mars shot which
this spring apparently lost its ridio
voice Zond-2 was expected to race
by Mars in the near future, a
loser to America's picture-taking
Mariner-4.
