Gov. Wallace
Threatens
U. S. Agents
Gov. George Wallace Friday angrily 
threatened to arrest federal education 
agents if they don't stop
"harrassment" of Alabama school
authorities.
Wallace sent state troopers to
try to question two Negro agents
of the U. S. Department of Health,
Education and Welfare HEW.
Wallace said he took the action
after "we received a complaint from
the superintendent of the Elmore
County Board of Education about
the harrassment, intimidation and
coercion" being used by the agents.
The agents, identified as Richard 
Fairley and Woodrow Bankhead, 
were reportedly "conducting
a survey" in Elmore County, where
Negroes have filed charges of discrimination. 

Stopped at the Montgomery Air
Terminal by state troopers and
asked to go to headquarters for
questioning the two men refused
When they learned they were not
under arrest. They boarded a plane
en route to Washington.
"We are continuing our investigation 
of the Elmore County complaint 
and if we receive a complaint 
from any local school board
that agents from the Department
of Health, Education and Welfare
are interfering with the schools
in this state, they will be arrested
and charged under Alabama law."
Wallace said.
"This is just another example
of the tactics which are being
used by the department of HEW
under the guidelines. It is my hope
that the school boards of this state
will refuse to submit to these Gestapo 
tactics which are being used
to disrupt our schools.
"If any local board will call upon 
me, I will assure them that
these agents will not be allowed to
harrass and intimidate them and
disrupt the schools."


Ten years ago, a California physician 
whose daughter almost died
as a result of a reaction to a skin
test for tetanus antitoxin, founded 
the Medic Alert Foundation International. 
Today more than 160,000 
people wear the nonprofit
Foundation's increasingly familiar
stainless steel emblems on the
wrist or around the neck, each
calling immediate attention to one
or more of 200 hidden medical problems. 
When necessary, a collect
telephone call to the Foundation's
Turlock, California headquarters,
physicians and other authorized
personnel may obtain additional
medical information that may save
the life of a conscious or unconscious 
person wearing a Medic
Alert Emblem. The telephone number 
209-634-4917 appears on all
emblems.
Each emblem carries the words
"Medic Alert" and the staff of
Aesculapius emblazoned in red
enamel. The reverse side of the
emblem contains one or more key
words, the Foundation's telephone
number and the wearer's identifying 
number corresponding to an
information card in the Medic
Alert files. Thus in an emergency
physicians or others, at any hour
of the day or night, can call the
Foundation's Central Answering
File and obtain further medical
facts plus the wearer's name and
address, his next of kin and the
name of his family or personal
physician.
The American Medical Association 
estimates that 40 million
Americans - one in five - should
be wearing a medical signaling device. 

The one-time cost of a Medic
Alert emblem and a round-the
clock 
information service is $5.00
(sterling silver emblems are $7.50.)
However, the Foundation provides
membership without cost for persons 
whose physicians state they
are unable to pay.
The Foundation has a dual purpose: 
(1) to educate people who
need to obtain and wear an emblem, 
and (2) to teach physicians
and qualified first aid personnel
to look for the emblem. At present
30 national and otherseas airlines
instruct their hostesses to look for
Medic Alert emblems, and many
industries provide information about
Medic Alert in their industrial
health programs.
A few of the key words or
phrases often used are:
Allergis to Pennicillin
Taking Anticoagulants
Wearing Contact Lenses
Hemophiliac
Taking Digitailis
Epilepsy
Diabetes
Glaucoma
Allergic to Coleine
Some emblem wearers are laryngectomees, 
others have a collapsed
lung or Meniere's disease or some
other problem. The youngest emblem 
wearer is one year old, the
oldest is 92.
The Medic Alert Foundation International 
has affiliate organizations 
in Canada, the United Kingdom 
and the Republic of Ireland,
the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain,
South Africa, New Zealand, the
Philippines, and is registered in 24
other countries. It is officially endorsed 
by the American Academy
of General Practice, the Student
American Medical Association, the
American Association of Nursing
Homes, the American Legion, the
International Association of Chiefs
of Police, the National Sheriffs'
Association, National Association
of Life Underwriters, the Association 
of Life Underwriters, the Association 
of Life Insurance Medical Directors 
and many state and county
medical societies. It also has the
endorsement of the President's
Committee on Employment of the
Handicapped.
Policies in this nonprofit foundation 
are established by a Board
of Directors assisted by a Medical
Advisory Committee. Further information 
may be obtained by
writing to the Medic Alert Foundation,

President Johnson Signs
Wolf Trap Farm Measure
President Johnson recently signed
the bill (S. 3423) establishing the
Wolf Trap Farm Park - the country's 
first national park devoted
to the performing arts. The park
development has come about as

the result of a joint gift of 100
acres of land made to the United
States Government by the American 
Symphony Orchestra League
and Mrs. Jouett Shouse of Washington, 
D. c.
Mrs. Shouse's gift includes also
funds for construction of a 3,500seat 
amphitheater suitable for outdoor 
concerts, opera, ballet and
dramatic presentations.
The League's gift toward the park
consists of a 38-acre tract of woodlands, 
presented to the organization 
by Mrs. Shouse five years ago
for the purpose of aiding the League 
in developing a suitable permanent 
national headquarters. Under 
the national park pain, the
League reserves the use of five
acres of the property for its headquarters, 
has assured right of entry 
in perpetuity, but will be responsible 
for the construction and
financing of only its own building.
It is anticipated that the Leagues' 
permanent headquarters will
consist of its own administrative
offices, library and research facilities 
of special interest to representatives 
of symphony orchestra,
composers and students, and modest 
accommodations for meetings
and conference rooms related to the
League's work.
The American Symphony Orchestra 
League is the non-profit,
educational, membership association 
of symphony orchestras in
the U. S. and Canada. Its work
consists of research, study and
training projects and a wide-based 
program of services for its member 
groups and related music and
cultural organizations.
Within the park area, total
plans for the new development include, 
in addition to the amphitheater, 
a visitors center having
facilities for exhibitions relating to

various aspects of the nation's performing 
arts, a few cabins for use
by writers and scholars, picnic and
hiking areas.
The park site, located about
fifteen miles west of Washington,
D. C., in Fairfax County, Virginia,
and consisting of wooded hillsides,
streams and rock outcroopings is
ideally suited for development of a
performing arts facility and modest
recreational facilities amid natural
beauty. The park takes its name
from the stream, Wolf Trap Run,
that meanders through Wolf Trap
Farm which has been the location 
of many historic gatherings
of importance in the political and
cultural life of the nation.
The Wolf Trap Farm Park bill
was passed by the U. S. Senate in
June, and by the U. S. House of
Representatives on October 17. The
legislation enables the Government 
to acquire some additional
land and scenic easements in order
to round out the boundaries of the
property. The park will be administered 
under Secretary of the
Interior, Stewart L. Udall, through
the National Park Service.
The Park Service will work with
an advisory committee on matters
relating to cultural presentations.
Mrs. Shouse and a representative
of the American Symphony Orchestra 
League will serve on the
committee along with representatives 
of other agencies and organizations. 

Mrs. Shouse long has been identified 
with the nation's orchestra activities 
and cultural developments.
She is vice-president of the Washington 
National Symphony, a member 
of the Executive Committee of
the John F. Kennedy Center for
the Performing Arts, and a member
of the Board of Directors of the
American Symphony Orchestra
League.
Mrs. Shouse stated that she envisions 
a full and diversified program 
for the park including use
by professional and amateur performing 
arts groups. She said that
the amphitheater could not be completed 
until the summer of 1968 at
the earliest.

NEGRO
STORY


CONTINENTAL FEATURES
 —
Make His History A Part Of His Home Work

Job Situation
Among Negroes
Changes Little
The Negro job
situation showed little change in
September after deteriorating from
April to August, the Department of
Labor has reported.
The unemployment rate among
Negroes, at 7.8 percent, was slightly 
below the 7.9 percent average
for the May - August period.
But, in September, the jobless
rate for whites was 3.3 percent as
compared with 3.4 percent in the
May - August period.
As a result, the ratio of Negroto 
- white unemployment continues
at 2.4 to 1 — considerably higher
than the 2-to-1 ratio that has existed 
in recent years.
Overall employment in September 
hit 74,251,000 — up more than
1.8 million over a year ago — and
the unemployment rate was 3.8
percent, down slightly from August.
The jobless rate for all civilian
workers was down appreciably from
the 4.4 percent rate for September
1965. The rate for Negroes was
down only three - tenths of a point
from 1965.
The September survey of employment 
and unemployment revealed 
continuing strong demand
for qualified and experienced workers. 

For example, the jobless rates
for white - collar workers and
skilled craftsmen were only 2.3 percent 
and 1.8 percent, respectively.
The rate for unskilled workers,
on the other hand, was 5.8 percent.
From April to August, the job picture 
also deteriorated for unskilled
workers.
The worsened job climate for Negroes 
in the late spring and summer 
resulted from inadequate job
gains among Negroes in the semiskilled, 
unskilled and farm occupations 
along with a consequent
rise in the unemployment level of
experienced workers.

Youth Crops Earnings
Aid Area Retailers
The State of Georgia's economy
is $2,299,512 better off as a result
of the U. S. Department of Labor's
22 Neighborhood Youth Corps projects 
operating here this summer.
The $2,299,512 represents the
Federal share of operating costs
allocated to the local sponsors of
Youth Crps projects, principally
fr wages for 5,271 young people
recruited from improverished sections 
of the State.
These enrolees, ranging in age
from 16 through 21, were paid $1.25
per hour for working nearly full
time in Youth Corps programs designed 
to fight the local war on
poverty. In most cases the money
thus earned enables these youths to
return to school this fall, and reduces 
the number of students who
leave school for economic reasons.
Nationally, an estimatel $88,000,000 
in new purchasing power has
found its way into the mainstream
of hundreds of local economies
this summer through Neighborhood 
Youth Corps projects.
Youth Corps experience indicates 
that the minimum earnings
of the very poor go immediately
into the hands of local suppliers
of basic needs such as food, shelter,
clothing and, to a lesser extent,
health and recreation.
Thus, through Youth Corps summer 
wages, a significant slug of
new money has come to communities 
in all 50 states and U. S.
territories. Its effect has been to
help retailers who normally encounter 
a seasonal slump, and particularly 
those small-volume merchants 
located in or close to economically 
blighted areas, in both
urban and rural localities.
Public and private non-profit
agencies in these areas have sponsored 
912 NYC summer projects
across the nation, this year. More
than 200,000 young people from
low-income, disadvantaged families
participated in NYC earnings. The
Neighborhood Youth Corps is an
Economic Opportunity Act program
administered by the Manpower Administration 
of the U. S. Department 
of Labor.
The average salary of ministers
in the United Presbyterian Church
has climbed from $6,547 to $7,975—
a rise of 22 per cent - since 1960.
The figures were made public by
the United Presbyterian Pension
Plan, which numbers among its
members 98 per cent of the Presbyterian 
ministers serving churches. 

Not included in the salary figures 
is a 15 per cent housing alowance 
provided to ministers who
do not occupy church-owned manses. 

Presbyterian ministers are traditionally 
among the highest paid
Protestant clergy. While no current
statistics are available, a 1964 survey 
by the National Council of
Churches showed that Presbyterian
salaries were about $2,000 a year
higher than the average for all
Protestant clergy.
Experience is rarely valued by the
very ones who need it most.
Very Very few people realize
that the dictionary is a good book
to study.


"What do you
want to be when you grow up?" is
a question not uncommon to most
doting parents, and those of Sanford 
Lewis were not a little surprised 
to get the answer, "an actor, 
writer, musician, singer and
author" from their precocious child.
Today, 28-year-old "Sandy" Lewis
is all of those things — but after
having tried and tested all his
goals he is more writer than anything 
else.
How Lewis managed to accomplish 
and achieve recognition can
best be told in his own words:
"When I was eleven years old,
Paul Whiteman held auditions for
his "TV Teen Club." I got in under
the wire by saying I was thirteen,
got an audition and landed with the
great Whiteman. I was sure then
that the stage was for me."
Years of study followed during
which he learned how to play the
bass fiddle, develop his voice and
graduate from the University of
Southern California. Then he returned 
to New York for a crack
at Broadway. He tried out for a
part in. "The Desk Set" with Shirley 
Booth and landed it. Next came
a part in "Member Of The Wedding" 
with Ethel Waters, to be followed 
with a part in "Finian's
Rainbow," with David Wayne.
The lure of Hollywood beckoned
and young Lewis packed his bags
and headed west, and promptly won
a role in "Carmen Jones," produced
by Otto Preminger.
"Sandy" Lewis then tried his

hand making one word follow another 
on paper. The result of the
articles he sent to editors resulted
in a shower of checks. World Wide
News Syndicate made him an offer 
to cover the Hollywood "beat."
followed by another offer from
TV-Radio Movie Guide. He took
them both.
Today, Lewis is one of the most
popular newsmen in Hollywood,
with entry to the biggest stars —
and what is more important, he
has the respect and ear of the
town's most important executives,
where he often gets the news before 
it happens.
When he heard that 20th Century-Fox 
had bought the controversial 
runaway best-selling novel,
"Valley Of The Dolls" and that
David Weisbart was going to produce 
it, Lewis hot-footed it to the
producer's office and got an interview. 
Not satisfied with that
alone, he tied up with ABC-TV,
told them what he was up to and
they sent a full camera crew to
the studio to get another interview 
on film for network airing.
This is how it went:
Lewis: When did you decide to
make 'The Dolls?'
Weisbart: When I first saw the
manuscript.
Lewis: You mean you had no
idea that the novel would have
such an impact on the public?
Weisbart: I hadn't the slightest
idea that it would be the sensational 
best-seller that it is. I saw
the possibility in the story and
just had a hunch that we had
our hands on a winner. We guessed 
right. The novel has been in
the Number One spot on the national 
bestseller list for 26 weeks
and from the reports of Publisher's
Weekly, it looks like it will hold
that position through Christmas.
Lewis: Is it true that you may
have nude scenes in the film?
Weisbart: There's a strong possibility 
that we will. The character
'Jennifer' in the book went to
Europe and made what is known
as "sex pictures." We may re-plant
the scene to take place in the
United States.
Lewis: There is some pretty
strong language in the book. Do
you intend to have your characters
use them?
Weisbart: We will not use offensive 
dialogue for the sake of
sensationalism. If the character in
the story uses strong language we
will use what she says because

reality in the portrayal of the people 
would demand it. The three of
us involved with the early stages
of preparing the script, Director
Mark Robson, screenwriter Helen
Deutsch and myself all agree on
that.
Lewis: Do you think films are
more honest today than say a decade 
ago?
Weisbart: Let's soy they're more
realistic.
And just to top the cake with
glamourous icing, Sanford Lewis'
book, "Mr, Nobody Is Dead," is
soon to be published by Doubleday. 
His second novel, "Eve," is in
preparation for the same publisher.
