Memphis World Memphis World Publishing Co. 1967-07-29 J. A. Beauchamp BY SAM BROWN Laurel wreath to Mrs. Carrie Jones of Jackson, Miss who won the women's division championship, defeating the defending champion, Mrs. Irene Cooper of Peoria, Ill. Then two days later, Mrs. Jones won the women's division title in the 19th Holers Golf Club second annual tournament, which was held at the same course. Golf is going by leaps and bounds in Memphis at this time. More and more people are taking up golf including numerous youngsters and women. There was s time when golf was thought to be a sport for the rich and older men, but nowadays, the sport is attracting people, from all walks of life. "old time baseball fans and followers cannot recall anytime in years have the races in both leagues been so close at this time of the season. In the memory of many middle-aged fans, at this time of the race, the New York Yankees had been established as the pennant winner in the American League, with the other clubs jockeying for Second place. For years however, the National League has usually been as much an uncertainty, particularly among the first division clubs, with second division clubs fighting to get into the first division. Most of the battles in the National League would be between two clubs, battling for the pennant. This year at this time, with almost twothirds of the season gone, it is still anybody's race in both leagues. Many of the top players in professional football will will be in action at this game. The Buffalo Bills, Eastern Division Champions last season will be in excellent condition when they trot out on the field to face the Dolphins. The Dolphins will feature the hard running Abner Hayes and leading scorer and ground gainer Joe Auer. Football fans are in for a great treat when these two football powers collide on the gridiron. Rickey is well known for his many contributions to baseball as a general manager with St. Louis, Brooklyn and Pittsburgh; the institution of the farm system for major league clubs, and the breaking down of color line, the "unwritten law" against Negroes in baseball by bringing up Jackie Robinson the first Negro to make the major leagues, to the Brooklyn Dodgers. According to an announcement, swimming and golf will be added to the sports program next season, tennis and baseball the following season. We recall when LeMoyne was a power in football, but dropped the sport in the late '40s.

GOP Leaders Demand Full Probe Of Riots "We are rapidly approaching a state of anarchy and he President has totally failed to recognize the problem," the Republican Coordinating Committee said in a statement unanimously approved by the members present, including former President Dwight D. Eisenhower. "Widespread rioting and violent civil disorder have grown to national crisis since the present administration took office," they said in a three - page statement. "The principal victims to date have been the Negroes of America whose cause is betrayed by a few false leaders," the committee said. It also claimed that pollen had uncovered "factories for the manufacture of Molotov cocktails," but the location of such places was not given. At a news conference at which the statement was released, Senate GOP leader Everett M. Dicksen refused to identify the locations but said "we shall sustain this charge." The committee said there was mounting evidence to indicate that the riots "may be the result of organized planning and execution on a national scale." President Johnson was asked "to withdraw his objection" and to throw his weight behind a Republican - sponsored antiriot bill, approved by the House, to outlaw interstate travel to incite violence. Another recommendation called on congressional leaders to establish a joint committee immediately to investigate "the planning, organization, method of operation and means to bring an end to rioting and civil disorder."

George Romney felt confident enough to order an undisclosed number of National Guardsmen and state police out of this warred and weary city, where Negro neighborhoods have erupted in a nightmare of arson, looting and mayhem since Sunday. The state troopers and police were pulled out so they could be ready for duty in other Michigan cities where the fires of racial violence burst out Monday night. These included Pontiac, Grand Rapids and Flint. Under orders from president Johnson 1,800 paratropers moved into Detroit from a staging ground outside the city early Monday. They took up battle stations on the East Side where the worst of Tuesday sniper firing flared. The guardsmen joined the regulars in a new no-nonsense attitude. Salvos from tanks and machine guns now answered the guerrilla style firing which came from the smoking ruins of the riot belt. Two white men — one taken as a sniper, another as a looter were among those killed. By daybreak the paratroopers, some of them tested veterans of Vietnam fighting, had taken over much of the duty of patrolling Detroit. They kept the peace, except for sporadic sniper firing. But still the death toll rose. The fatality count stod at 24 with the death of a policeman who went down before a shotgun blast while trying to drive off looters at a super -market. There were more than 1,500 persons injured to the city, more than 2,100 jailed, and property damage was estimated at 200 million a sum which made this the most costly recall disorder in the nation's history. Firemen counted 935 fires in three days and the acrid aura of smoke still hung over many neighborhoods. The question which hung Over Detroit as the day wore on was what would happen when night came? An Army liaiso officer, Col, W. L. Helmantoler, took note of the tension with word that there would be an "Important announcement" this evening. The Army was still holding a task force of 2,900 paratroopers in reserve at Selfridge Air Force base outside the city. Romney refused to lift the stats of emergency he imposed on Detroit except to let gasoline stations open from noon to 5 p.m. EDT. Only five gallons was allowed each motorist. A 9 p.m., to 5:30 a.m. curfew remained in force and all bars and liquor stores were closed. All government offices were opened, as were major banks and other large businesses. But traffic into the downtown section was of weekend thinness. Buses were back in operation except for these routes passing through the worse riot areas. The city opened its border with Canada Tuesday. The Ambassador Bridge linking Detroit with Windsor, Ant., was opened, as was the Detroit- Windsor tunnel under the Detroit River. Food shortages were reported throughout the riot - torn neighborhoods. Former Deputy Defense Secretary Cyrus Vance, Johnson's emissary, and civilian head of the paratroopers, said Tuesday afternoon it was "too early at this point to tell what will happen." Mayor Jerome Cavanagh complained that despite the enormous damage produced by the rioted. Detroit was not eligible for federal or state aid because the dostirbances could not be classified as natural disasters. "The city was in a tight and difficult fiscal position to begin with," the mayor said. "I hate to contemplate that phase of it now." Detroit has a ppoulation of 1.6 million and sprawls over a 139 square - mile area. Little of it was left unaffected by the rioting, which started in a 29 - block area and spread outward for miles.

SNCC chapter said letters will be sent to the governor, state legislators, and the board of regents asking that the program be made optional, rather than mandatory. He said many students oppose ROTC because of U. S. policy in Vietnam. Lucas said meetings are planned to dismiss further action, and pressure for the change will increase when the fall term opens in September.
