Memphis World Memphis World Publishing Co. 1963-10-26 J. A. Beauchamp Hero Dies On Runaway Truck The people of tills tiny community in North Florida thanked Willie Lee Brown Saturday for his courage. But Brown was dead. Brown, a 23-year-old Negro pulpwood worker, screamed warnings from the side or a runaway truck Friday as it hurtled through the street. He died when the 30,000-pound vehicle crushed him after coltiding with a pickup truck, and shearing off a gas pump. Henry Odum, 61, Scriven, Ga. driver of the pickup truck, died in a local hospital Saturday as a result of injuries in the collision. His wife, Lilly, was in critical condition. Highway Patrolman L. T. Haley said if Brown had not franically waved him out of the way of the speeding truck, "I would have been killed." Nassau County Deputy Sheriff Jim Sawyer said the truck will be examined to determine what caused the brakes to fall. The truck, driven, by Edward Lee Thomas, 20, of Callahan, gathered speed down an incline off the U. S. 301 overpass. It ripped out the transmission when Thomas tried to gear it down. Brown climbed on to the running board and began yelling, "look out, no brakes." Police said his warnings got several motorists and pedestrians out of the way.

Hood, one of two Negroes who reintegrated the University of Alabama then quit when faced with possible expulsion, is job hunting here. Living with an aunt, Mrs. Herman Hughes. Hood has been here aince September and is seeking employment to finance his tuition to a northern university. Apparently several publicized offers of scholarships failed to materialize. Hood, 20, who left the university in August on the advice of his doctor, said "the pressure on me at Alabama was pretty bad. "In the first place, I knew my father was dying and in the second place knew that I was in the public focus as a marked man who had gone against tradition. I just couldn't take it. "Now that I am rested, I'll start all over again," he said. "Everybody was swell down there," he said, "and I left only because my doctor thought I might be subject to a possible breakdown." Alabama school administrators said, however, Hood faced possible expulsion for statements allegedly made at a rally. Hood and Vivian Malone entered Alabama after Gov. George C. Wallace stood at the university's main doors in a futile attempt to prevent their enrollment. The nicest things happen to girls with . . .

Case Says Partisan Leaders Can Overcome A Filibuster Sen. Clifford P. Case, R-N. J., said Oct. 20 that "determined, bipartisan leadership" could overcome a Southern filibuster against civil rights legislation. Cake made the assertion at a celebration of the Emancipation Proclamation at Upsala College here. The New Jersey Republican said equality of citizenship could not be accomplished by legislation alone. "But legislation is essential to the realization of our goal," he added, "and 1963 is the year to provide the legal underpinning needed for the greater effort that must be made.... "The closer we get to the end of the year, the harder it will be to overcome a filibuster, but with determined bipartisan leadership and support it can be done." Case said the "most immediate concern" of those favoring strong civil rights legislation was that the bill that finally reaches the Senate floor may be watered down. He said this would play into the hands of those who want no civil rights bills, or who want only token legislation. "Unless the legislation, as finally enacted, is truly, meaningful, there will be growing impatience, growing tension throughout the country, Case said. "The time, for Congress to act is now, in the interest of all our citizens and the nation as a whole."

Afro-Asians, Reds Traffic With South Africa Despite Talk Despite the widely proclaimed boycott against South Africa, the Afro-Asian and Communist nations are doing more trade with this country than ever before. South Africa is building up profitable two-way trade with countries - including Red China - which are among its greatest international enemies. Nations of the Afro. Asian and Communist blocs brought more than $19.6 million worth of South African goods in the first four, months of 1963, according to figures released here. In return, South Africa brought from them more than $35 million worth, of goods, ranging from heavy machinery to glass ware and from tea and coffee to lace. The hostile nations all subscribe publicly to the international movement to boycott South Africa economically, expel it from world bodies and close their skies to South African planes because of the government's apartheid policy of racial separation. Yet their imports from South Africa increased by $4.48 million, or 16 per cent, in the first third of 1963. Their export to South Africa dropped slightly, but only became Pakistani South African, trade fell by more than half.

Parenthood Group Reaffirms Non-Discrimination Policy Planned Parenthood-World Population has reaffirmed its traditional policy of non-discrimination and called for application of "the principles of full integration in all phases of Affiliates' operations," Dr. Alan F.

A resolution, adopted by the PPWP Board of Directors of the organization's annual meeting at the Hotel Roosevelt, urged Affiliates and all persons involved in the family planning organization's work "to intensify their participation in this country's effort to achieve equal opportunities for all." Reaffirming Planned Parenthood's long-held and explicitly stated policy that "the participation of all people on an equal basis in all areas of our national life is right and just," the Board stated: "As one of our basic tenets, we ecognize the dignity of the individual, and his right to a satisfying and healthy life which depends to a large extent on such social conditions as medical care, education, housing and unemployment. "Our special concern has been and continues to be the equality of medical care in the area of family planning available to American families of all colors, creeds and economic status, because we believe voluntary family planning is indispensible to family health and well-being," the board resolution said. "There is considerable evidence, however, that low income and minority families are denied ac cess to adequate family planning servicees by community, institutions which ordinarily provide their medical care. "We have urged our Affiliates to work toward the integration of all peoples in all races of their program' and to develop special programs for groups whose needs are not being met. We shall insist that the principles of full integra tion be applied to all phases of all PP-WP Affiliate operations.

U. S. Increasing Atom Firepower In Europe The United States is increasing its nuclear firepower in Europe and the Pacific by replacing certain artillery weapons with more modern types, the Defense Department announced Monday. Some military units now overseas will be brought home and replaced by others. The department did not say what effect the changes would have on total U. S. manpower abroad. Weapons now being deployed overseas are the solid fueled Serreant missile, a new 175 millimeter self-propelled gun, and an improved version of the Honest John rocket. They will replace the 280 millimeter cannon, the first gun to fire an atomic shell, and the liquid fueled Corporal and winged La crosse missiles. The department said the army also was deploying large number of nuclear warheads for the eightinch howitzer. Announcement of the program, designed to increase both the quality of artillery firepower, came just before he Defense Department launched its "operation big lift" to show that it could put 16,000 Army and Air Force men in Germany within 72 hours. The exercise is expected to be followed next year by similar "big lifts" to the Pacific and Middle East. The significance of the airlift was pointed up by Deputy Defense Secretary Roswell L. Gilpatric in a major policy speech Saturday night in Chicago at the annual conference of United Press International Editor and publishers.

In sending the compromise legislation to the mite House, the House and Senate responded to most of the requests President Kennedy made in a special message to Congress Feb. 5. At that time he called for a "bold new approach" in combatting mental illness and mental retardation. The newly approved legislation, plus another bill passed last week, carried personal as well as national significance for the President. His family has contributed considerable funds toward treatment and research into the twin problems. A sister of the President is a victim of mental retardation. Except for a measure designed to produce more doctors and dentists, the health legislation was the only major new Kennedy program approved this year by Congress. When final votes were taken, Congress gave the program overwhelming support.
