Replying to petitions from the groups,

In a prepared statement, Schmied said,

McCarthyites Disputing
7 Indiana Delegates
By GORDON ENGLEHART
Courier-Journ- A Times Staff Writer
INDIANAPOLIS Indiana
A Southern
citizens group backing Sen. Eugene J.
McCarthy for president is challenging
the seating of seven Hoosier delegates
to the Democratic national convention.
The seven delegates from the 7th,
8th and 9th districts are believed to
favor Vice President Hubert H. Hum-
phrey.
Mrs. Wesley II. Salmon of Blooming-ton- ,
7th district spokesman for the new
"Indiana Credentials Challenge Com-
mittee," yesterday said the required
"intent to challenge" was filed Tuesday
with John Bailey, Democratic national
chairman, and Gov. Richard Hughes of
New Jersey, chairman of the convention
credentials committee.
Mrs. Salmon said the challenges are
based on the "undemocratic processes
forced upon the state Democratic conven-
tion delegates" in selecting the seven
delegates in district caucuses June 20.
McCarthyites charged that presiding
district chairmen "railroaded" selection
Court Rules Out
Limiting Negroes
On Police Force
NEW ORLEANS (AP) The 5th U.S.
Circuit Court of Appeals ruled yesterday
that a police policy of limiting Negro
policemen to a Negro section violates
their constitutional rights.
The decision was in an appeal by 12
Negro officers on the St. Petersburg,
Fla., police force, attacking assignments
and other administrative practices.
The U.S. District Court had upheld the
department on the ground that racial
classifications were merely "for the pur-
pose of effective administration. . ."
"Of course, if police efficiency were
an end in itself, the police would be free
to put an accused on the rack," the
appeals court said. "Police efficiency
must yield to constitutional rights."
The suit complained that no Negro
officer was ever assigned to any zone
other than the principal Negro area,
known as zone 13.
Such a policy is common in many
Southern cities.
14 of 254 Police Are Negroes
"We do not hold that the assignment
of a Negro officer to a particular task
because he is a Negro can never be justi-
fied," the appeals court said. "It is clear,
T however, that, with due respect for the
good faith of the chief of police, his
opinion tnat iegro onicers are better

able to police Negro citizens cannot justi-- :
fy the blanket assignment of all Negroes
;
and only Negroes to patrol Zone 13."
St. Petersburg has 254 policemen, 14
j of them Negro. Police divide the city into
I
16 zones.
A police policy of limiting the only
sergeant, Samuel Jones, to com-- j
mands also was struck down by the ap-- f
peals court.

fire Noe and that the patrolman be
charged with murdering James Groves,
14. A coroner's jury ruled the death
justifiable homicide.
The groups had given the mayor peti-
tions bearing about 500 signatures asking
that the Groves case and the case of an-
other young Negro killed during the dis-
orders be reopened.
Schmied said the groups were misdi-
rected in presenting the petitions to him.
He said, "The mayor has absolutely no
jurisdiction, control or direction over the
judicial actions of the judge of the Louis-
ville Police Court, nor does he have any
jurisdiction, control or direction what-
soever over the office of the Jefferson
County coroner."

Mrs. Salmon said a brief containing
a complaint and remedy will be filed by
the Aug. 12 deadline with the credentials
committee.
It also will include alternate slates of
delegates from all three districts, she
said.
Mrs. Salmon would not identify the
seven suggested alternates. But asked
if they are she replied:
"Yes, I guess they all are."
The credentials committee will meet

MONDAY, AUGUST 5,
Big Steel,
Higher Taxes,
And Inflation
IF the across-the-boar-
steel price increase
d proper planning for its rivers system if it
initiated by Bethlehem sticks and sets a pat-
tern, we'll be off on another inflationary
spiral that will make the recently enacted 10
per cent surtax a cruel joke as an anti-inflatio- n
measure; a cruel joke on the people
caught on fixed incomes, or relatively fixed
incomes, in r jobs, in retirement,
white-colla-
who do not have the benefit of tax loopholes
many other Americans have.
The price action came on the heels of a
wage settlement in the steel industry which
raised wages and fringe benefits for
by about 6.5 per cent at a cost esti-
mated to exceed one billion dollars.
It should come as no surprise that a price
rise would follow as the day the night. The
question is, how much of an increase? "The
Bethlehem price increase," said President
Johnson, "far exceeds any reasonable calcula-
tion of the cost of the wage settlement. It just
should not be permitted to stand."
In an effort to force a rollback, the adminis-
tration has announced that the Defense De-
partment will shift its steel buying to com- -
panies that have not raised prices. It might
work. It has in the past; but in the end there
will be some sort of increase in the price of
steel.
Under existing circumstances we see no
realistic hope of halting inflation or slowing
it down a great deal. Unions are going to
make wage demands to compensate for the
tax increase. The higher wage settlements
are going to lead to higher prices, whether
they are fully justified or not, and the cost
of living is going up.
It is air very well for some economists to

since the youth was shot by a city

POLITICAL HABERDASHERY
President Shopping: Customer Never Right
WAHINGTON Jim Titus went to Bailey
& Bliss, political haberdashers, to get a new presi-
dent.
"I'd like to see something in a new president,"
he told Bailey.
"Of course," said Bailey. "Do you have any-
thing particular in mind?"
"I'd like something in the new cut," Jim said,
"something that makes me feel better. Something
I could wear beads with, or flowers. This old thing
I've got now makes me feel 150 years old."
Bailey said he had just the thing and brought
it out. "This is our Humphrey," he said. "Every-
body's going to be wearing it this fall."
"I'm not," said Jim. "It's the same model I've
got now except that they've taken all the buttons
off the lip. I want something new."
Bliss intervened politely. "I think what the
gentleman has in mind is our new Nixon," said
Bliss, and whisked it out with a flourish.
Jim glanced at it without interest. "It's all
right," he said, "but it's the same new Nixon you
show me every time I come in here."
"Oh, not at all,"' Bliss objected. "This year's
model doesn't fade on television."
Fresh Out of Production
"That's swell," said Jim, "but I want to see
some of the newer lines. What about that one in
the showcase there?"
"That?" said Bailey. There was an icy edge
on his sneer. "That is not available this year."
"I like it," said Jim. "What do you call it?"
"The Gene," said Bailey. "But we're taking it
out of production."
"Why?" Jim asked.
"We don't like it," said Bailey.
"Well, what about that one?" he asked, indicat-
ing a model that the porter was placing in the
trash can. "Take that one out of the trash and I'll
try it on."
"That," said Bliss, "happens to be the Rocky,
and nobody's going to try it on. Ever."
"But why not?" asked Jim. "If I like it, why
can't I have it?"
"We don't approve of it," said Bliss.
' "This is still a free country," said Jim. "And stand the abuse you have to put up with in this
This attitude irritated Jim, and he said: "If
that's the way you fellows are going to do busi-
ness, I'll go someplace rise, some place that will
sell me a Gene or a Rocky without a lot of non-
sense."
"Hah," said Bailey.
"Just try it, Buster," said Bliss.
"Are you threatening me?" Jim asked.
"Of course not," said Bailey. "We're simply ex- -

say we have the resources, in terms of gross
national product, to fight an ever more costly
war in Southeast Asia, put a man on the moon,
build an enormously expensive
missile system, and cure our domestic ills, all
at the same time.
To do this, however, would require a
fundamental change in the present order
of things, a degree of commitment and a re-
ordering of sacrifice; changes, in other words,
that our political system is not about to pro-
duce. So instead we improvise. We make ges-
tures against inflation which strike hardest
at those who are easiest to get at under our
present tax structure, those who are least able
to protect themselves, while those who can,
do, whether through tax breaks or increasing
their income.
Even so, that is obviously more politically

Kentucky Needs
A Broader View
On River Uses
KENTUCKY will miss a chance to develop
fails to participate in the Ohio River Basin
Commission. The commission is authorized
under the federal Water Resources Planning
Act of 1965 but Gov. Louie B. Nunn was
quick to withdraw state support soon after
he replaced Edward T. Breathitt. The com-
mission needs Kentucky as much as the state
needs the commission for the services it can
render.
Staff Writer Kathleen Arnold reported in
this newspaper on Sunday that the Governor
probably will take final action "sometime
this year." Before he does, Mr. Nunn should
Hee-Hee-He-
consider the needs of all river users and
not just the views of those whose principal
concern is transportation.
If created, the commission will be respon-
sible for helping to establish priorities for
anti-ballist- river use and to develop facts for careful
consideration where conflicts exist. Cham-
pions of the plan may be overestimating its
power when they claim that it could have
prevented the Red River Dam controversy, but
at least it would have made it possible to
argue from facts rather than from emotions
and misinformation.
Balanced View Needed
If the commission should weaken the lobby-
ing power of any one other group in favor of
basin-wid-
e
improvements, then it is a move
that may already be overdue. There are many
federal agencies involved in river develop-
ment and states have long acknowledged the
need for interstate compacts on particular
problems such as pollution and navigation.
With Paul Grubbs at hand to argue against
the new river basin commission, the Governor
will need to hear from a number of other
groups and individuals interested in river
development in order to make a balanced
judgment. Mr. Grubbs, the Governor's Com-
merce Commissioner, retains the narrower
view taken by his former employers, the
Ohio Valley Improvement Association.
It is a time to move beyond that view and
to consider the many uses of the rivers sys-
tem and to take advantage of the new op
portunity for the states and federal agencies
to work together.

J. D. Summers, who has a gun store
on Frankfort Avenue in St. Matthews
near the city limits, said he would have
to move his business to the county if a
waiting period were required.
Believes Law Will Curb Crime
Summers said he felt the new law
would be effective in helping to curb
crime.
"No one with a criminal record of any
type will sign that affidavit," he said. "I
believe that alone will keep the criminal
from buying a gun in Louisville."
Dr. Lykins said he wanted a stronger
law that would make it more difficult for
criminals to obtain guns.
"It would be a mockery to pass some-
thing that will be winked at in the com-
munity," he said.
The law should require persons buying
guns outside the city to apply for a per-
mit to bring them in, Dr. Lykins said. He
also favored fingerprinting of gun
purchasers.
Stephen Porter, executive director of
the Louisville and Jefferson County
Crime Commission, urged the aldermen
to pass a stronger ordinance proposed
by the commission. He said the state
Crime Commission is working on strong
legislation to present to the next Ken-
tucky General Assembly.
"They need the support of Louisville,
not just lip service," Porter said.
Verdict by Coroner's Jury
In Riot Death Denounced
The White Emergency Support Team
yesterday charged that a coroner's jury
committed "the latest in a series of
travesties of the legal system of this city"
in finding that a shooting by a policeman
during the West End disorders was in
the line of duty.
A statement by the civil rights group
protested the verdict in the death of
James Groves Jr., 14, of 846 S. 32nd, who
was shot and killed at 32nd and Garland
on May 29 by Patrolman Charles Noe.
The jury brought in its verdict
Wednesday.
Battle for Democratic
Delegates Looms Today

out of four delegates elected to today's
conventions. It also has a majority in
each of the seven congressional districts.
Thus, the Humphrey supporters, even
without invoking the controversial unit
rule, have the power to name all 46 dele-
gates.
McCarthyites Have 25
The McCarthy camp, on the other
hand, has roughly 25 per cent of the total
voting strength at today's conventions.
McCarthy spokesmen contend, there-
fore, it would be "unfair" to shut them
out completely from the national conven-
tion delegation. As weapons the McCarthy
camp could cry "machine politics" and
walk out.
It was these two factors that brought
the camps together yesterday at the
Sheraton Hotel for negotiations. The
McCarthy camp went to pick up some
delegates. The Humphrey camp went to
avoid the cries of bossism and make a
gesture toward party harmony.
"Unfortunately it was impossible to
arrive at a single conclusion acceptable
to both groups," said J. R. Miller, the
Democratic state chairman, a Humphrey
man.
"It was a very pleasant and happy

members of the Democratic Party will un-

elaboration.

man of the convention that I will not be

is final, firm, and not subject to further
consideration.
"I believe, however, that there are
certain vital foreign and domestic policies

cessful in the coming election and is to
solve our nation's problems. I will be
speaking out on these issues in my capac-

Muskie, Shriver, Harris?
Kennedy issued this statement in re-
sponse to a rapidly spreading movement
within the Democratic Party to make him
Humphrey's running mate.
Democratic politicians and officehold-
ers widely assume that Humphrey will
be nominated at the Chicago convention,
although Sen. Eugene McCarthy.
and his supporters insist that Humphrey
by no means has the nomination "locked
up."
If Kennedy succeeded in eliminating
himself from consideration yesterday,
Humphrey's alternative choices are be-
lieved to center on these three men:

Loaded Planes, Dying Trains:
Where Do We Go From Here?
THE LONG-EXPECTE-CRISIS of the air-
ways Is finally with us. More and more planes,
carrying more and more people and using the
same old runways and airports, have brought
air travel to the point where hundreds of
travelers must now spend longer hovering in
the air and waiting to land than they did to
make their voyage in the first place.
This is the fault of a lot of people; Con-
gressmen, airlines, the Federal Aviation
Authority can all assume a share of the blame.
Certainly the least culpable of all concerned
are the air traffic controllers who, when
traffic began to pile up inexorably in the
skies, were hastily accused in some quarters
of a "slowdown," as though in a fit of pique
they had decided to keep traffic in the
rather than letting it land. What actually
happened, as The Washington Post has
pointed out, is that the controllers, "who have
leen working indecently long hours under
terrible pressure and cutting corners for

In Riot Deaths
RATHER than providing a clearer under-
standing of conditions leading to the deaths
of two young Negroes during the West End
disorders in May, what may be final action
under government initiative has done little
more than suggest conditions under which
shooting and killing are permissible in riot
situations. There is a need for greater public
disclosure and discussion of the events leading
to the deaths.

Police Court Judge William Colson both went

week to issue what could be implied license

The Matter of Saigon Reform
Lastly, as a nice specimen of the misleading is-
sue, there is the matter of reforming the Saigon
regime. No doubt, it would be nice, for once, to
have honest men running the port of Saigon, and
a government interested in giving land to peasants.
But reform has been the classic quicksand for
Americans in Vietnam. For a dozen years every
plan to have elections, constitutions, improved ad-
ministration, and more humane social economic
relations has come out wrong. And the reason all
these plans have failed is that they have been, in
the past as they are now, blind alleys constructed
to lead men away from the true is-
sues.
Of these, the most important by far is the role
to be allotted the other side in the politics of

PARIS (AP) President Charles de

whether he will finish out a term running

More Militancy Due?
Poor People's March
Given New Direction
By EARL CALDWELL
New York Timet News Service
WASHINGTON The Southern Chris-
tian Leadership Conference yesterday,
announced a major shakeup in its staff
directing the Poor People's Campaign.
The group also said it might establish
campsites similar to the one near the
Lincoln Memorial in 15 cities, including
Philadelphia and Baltimore. The full
list of cities was not given.
In an unexpected move, Jesse Jackson,
one of the chief architects in planning
the march, on Washington,
anti-povert- y
was given a new assignment, considered
to be a demotion.
Jackson, 26, had been manager of
Resurrection City and had directed most
of the direct action program implemented
so far in the Poor People's March.
In his new role, one of Jackson's prime
duties will be to organize support for the
campaign outside Washington.
Dissension Hinted
There were hints that Jackson's re-
assignment reflected some dissension
among members of the SCLC executive
staff.
Hosea Williams, a veteran SCLC
staffer who conducted the national
mobilization of the poor for the Poor
People's Campaign, was given the task
of molding the direct action programs
to be used in the campaign.
Less than an hour after the changes
we're announced by the Rev. Andrew J.
Young, Williams led 500 demonstrators
in a sit-i- at the Department of Health,

Education and Welfare.
There were no arrests, but the sit-i-
was one of the most militant demonstra-
tions of the campaign.
The group sought a meeting with Sec-
retary Wilbur V. Cohen. When they were
told Cohen was not available, they began
the sit-i- in a plush auditorium in the de-
n
partment's main building.

Williams said.
Trouble was averted when Cohen ap-
peared, more than two hours after the
sit-i-

began.
He won applause from the demonstra-
tors when he endorsed the idea of a uni-
form federal welfare system. Welfare
programs now are administered on a state
level and benefits vary widely.
To Organize 'Action Cadres'
The demonstrators demanded "some

Cohen at the poor people's effort here

The Rev. Mr. Young, SCLC executive
secretary, said Jackson will be involved
in organizing "action cadres" in cities

ousted striking occupants from tele-
phone centers in a host of cities without
incident, but used tear gas in the face
of resistance in Rennes, the capital of
Brittany.
3 Important Ministers Dropped
De Gaulle had announced Thursday
that he would keep Pompidou at the
head of the new cabinet. But there were
important changes in it. Maurice Couve
de Murville, foreign minister throughout
the 10 years of De Gaulle's Fifth Re-
public, switched jobs with Finance
Minister Michel Debre for the crucial
work of repairing the damage of the
'strike wave, which economists
estimated have so far cost the nation
$2.4 billion in lost production alone.
Some important figures were dropped.
They included Interior Minister Christian
Fouchet, who had been under strong
criticism for his handling of student riots night "so quiet that we're wondering injuries were reported.

The Courier-Journ-
FRANKFORT, Ky. Insurance Com-
missioner Robert Preston yesterday dis-
approved a rate increase for automobile
policies sought by the Insurance Rating
Board.
The board is a agency for

automobile insurance firms that write 30
per cent of the automobile liability in-

Preston said that while a rate increase
is necessary, the increase sought by the
board was "excessive."
The proposed rise, in automobile in-
surance rates would have been $4 to $14
for most Kentucky motorists.
Preston held that the physical damage

"to meet statutory standards but they are

However, one Negro spokesman, Sam-

had"" been unable to prevent looting and

Hawkins, 25, and Robert Sims, 21,

Grime Commission Urges
Riot Probe, Visit by IVL ayor
By JOHN FINLEY
Courier-Journ-
Stiff Writer
The Louisville and Jefferson County
Crime Commission yesterday recom-
mended that Mayor Kenneth A. Schmied
visit the area of disorders in the West
End and hear the grievances of the
people there. ' He added that meetings with neighbor-
Later, after four of its members had
left, the commission also recommended
that the "appropriate authorities"
vestigate:
t"Who Mr. (James) Cortez really
is and what his mission in Louisville is."
"What is the role if any of the
Bradens (Mr. and Mrs. Carl Braden, who
head the Southern Conference Education
Fund) in the beginning of the present
disorders."
Whether any federal anti-povert- y
workers have been involved in the dis-
turbances.
The latter three recommendations,
proposed by commission chairman James
M. Caldwell, were adopted with the votes
of the Rev. John H. Miller, M. R.
and Mrs. Joseph E. Green. Commis-
sion member James L. Hurd did not vote,
and Caldwell, as chairman, did not vote
on any motions made during the
meeting at City Hall.
The four members who left after the
Schmied-visi- t vote but before the the vote
on the other recommendations were Eu-
gene Robinson, chairman of the West
End Community Council and one of those
active in working to cool the present dis-
orders; former Kentucky Atty. Gen.
Robert Matthews, attorney Laurence E.
Higgins and Elliott W. Kronish.
Resolutions 'Don't Move Me'
Robinson later denounced the three-poin- t
action.
Late last night, Schmied repeated that
he would return to the West End when
"peace and tranquility" have been re-
stored, and he added that he is unable
to understand why the commission and
Board of Aldermen want him to go there.

Son's Death
Will Be Studied
The parents of a boy who
was killed by a police shotgun blast yes-
terday demanded and received a promise
that the incident would be fully investi-
gated.
"We believe our son was murdered
in cold blood," Mrs. James Groves
said, her voice cracking with emotion.
"We are charging the policeman who
shot him with brutality and demand that
he be suspended from the Louisville
police force."
Mrs. Groves and her husband lodged
their demands with Police Chief C. J.
Hyde after viewing their son's body at
a funeral home. Their son, James Groves
Jr., of 846 S. 32nd, was shot near a
West End store Wednesday night.
'Shot Him In the Chest'
Police have stated that Patrolman
Charles Noe shot the boy as he was
fleeing from the store carrying stolen
goods. But the senior Groves said,
"James couldn't have been running be-
cause they shot him in the chest."
Later he added, "What the policeman
had on his mind was that there's a
colored kid and I want to kill him."
After conferring with Mr. and Mrs.
Groves and visiting the scene of the
shooting, near 32nd and Garland, Col.
Hyde promised to assign two policemen
to investigate the incident.
Hyde gave Mrs. Grove a similar prom-
ise "that justice will be done" Thursday
after visiting her home. After that visit
Mrs. Groves, 32, told a press con-
ference "that as a parent of a child
who died as a result of the disturbances,
we appeal to everybody to stop the dis-
orders and violence."
Yesterday she said she still stands
by her statement. However, her husband
said he didn't go along with the state-
ment from the start. "I want to see
justice done to the man who shot my
boy," he added.
Mrs. Grove said her son left the house
only a few minutes before he was shot,
probably to get a can of soda pop from
a nearby service station.
' She charged that reports that her son
was carrying stolen goods when shot
were false.
Mrs. Groves said her son was "a very
good boy" and "very obedient." He
was an eight-grade- r at DuValle Junior
High School. The funeral is scheduled
for Monday. The body is at the G. C.
Williams Funeral Home, 1935 W.
Agency Says Lighting Must Be Inspected
City-Stat- e
Motorists may be driving in the dark
when they cross the Clark Memorial
Bridge at night next week.
Unless a minor hassle, between the city
of Louisville and the Kentucky Highway
Department is resolved, the bridge
will be without lights when it reopens
to traffic next Friday or Saturday.
New electrical wiring was installed
during repair work that closed the bridge
for nearly a year.
But officials of Louisville's Depart-
ment of Building and Housing Inspection
said yesterday they will not allow the
electricity on the bridge to be turned
on until they inspect the new wiring
and issue a permit for its use.

hood groups do not often accomplish
much. "It's a sort of thing
in- with the neighbors to meet with the
mayor," he said.
But Schmied also said that, in spite of
the week's problems, Louisville's record
in racial matters is "way, way beyond"
that of other cities. "I think most of these
things (civil disturbances) just happen,"
he said.
Caldwell opened the meeting by play
ing a tape recording of speeches made
during a Monday-nigh- t rally at 28th and
Greenwood. The disorders started as the
rally was breaking up.
Caldwell said he believes the speech
by Cortez was "inflammatory."

Flow of Goods, Services Goes On
Despite Disturbances in West End
Ky BRENDA THOMPSON
Courier-Journ- Staff Writer
A survey yesterday indicated with
few exceptions that the flow of goods
and services continued as usual in Louis-
ville's West End, despite the civil dis-
orders.
Milk and food were delivered to stores,
the garbage was collected, and with the
exception of one day in a small area, the
mail went through.
Few residents complained of diffi-
culties in obtaining groceries.
In almost every area yesterday, there
was, at least, one nearby corner grocery

Mothers who had not heard which

All of the merchants questioned yester-

In Riot Areas
Insurance Firms Given
Policy-Voidin- g
Warning
Kentucky Insurance Commissioner Rob-
ert D. Preston warned yesterday that fire
and casualty insurance companies that
cancel policies in Louisville's West End
will be jeopardizing their right to sell in-
surance in Kentucky.
Preston said a $1 surcharge for riot
coverage in urban areas was approved
by his department May 1 to assure that
such insurance would continue in force.
"I had a few calls today from people
in Louisville who said their insurance
company had threatened to cancel them
out because of the disturbances there,"
he said. "We can't have our people left
out in the cold."
Preston yesterday issued a bulletin to
all fire and casualty insurance com-
panies warning that "failure to cooperate
might be evidence of an insurance-compan-
operation hazardous to the public
said they had little or no difficulty in
delivering potato chips, bread, soft
drinks, cleaning, milk or beer.
Both the telephone company and the
gas and electric company reported no
delays in service.
One of the city's large dairy distribu-
tors said there was no problem in milk
deliveries, which were made every day.
The city's Sanitation Department also
said garbage collections were normal.
The U.S. Post Office reported that,
with the exception of an area
around 28th and Greenwood on Tuesday,
regular mail deliveries were made as
usual.
The city's buses and taxicabs, and
individual motorists, appeared most
affected by the disorders.
Except for long-tim- e customers, a
major taxi company said it was not serv-
ing the immediate neighborhood around
28th and Greenwood.
Bus service was almost normal, except
for a few detours, the company reported.
Daytime service continued pretty much
as usual. However, the bus company did
stop service on nights of the curfew.
A spokesman for Louisville
Electric said the company "had no
choice" but to follow normal procedure.
"The electrical building inspector
(through Haddad's office) is what we go
by," he said.
Haddad cited a similar dispute he had
with the Highway Department in 1965
after street lighting installed by the
Highway Department failed at the
Taylorsville Road interchange on the
Watterson Expressway.
The lighting failed because of in-
adequate insulation of an underground
conduit, he said, contending the failure
could have been avoided if city in-
spectors had checked the wiring.

Colson repeatedly overruled motions
to dismiss or postpone the hearing. At
one point, he shook his finger at defense

Tucker replied, "I'm telling you man

During the hearing, several Negro and

During a recess, Judge Colson consulted
with Mayor Kenneth A. Schmied and the

they found $450 and a sawed-of- f shotgun

Stage Door Johnny Wins 'the 'Belmont
Continued From Page One
Me Prince, a colt unbeaten in four earlier
starts this year and perhaps the one who
cost Forward Pass the Triple Crown.
Valenzuela later agreed with jockey
Bill Boland, who rode Call Me Prince,
that three runs made by that colt at For-
ward Pass during the e race might
lV4-mil-
have denied Calumet its third Belmont
victory.
The Lexington, Ky., farm previously
triumphed with Whirlaway (1941) and
Triple Crown.
'Had to Fight' Forward Pass
"My horse was rank in the early run-
ning," said the disappointed Valenzuela.
"I had to fight to hold him in. Then he
heard Call Me Prince coming up on him
and took off before I was ready to ask
him to run.
"It happened two more times, and each
time he took off. Then, when Stage Door
Johnny moved up on us, my horse didn't
have much left.
"There had been the question of
whether Forward Pass, a speed horse,
could hold out at such a distance, es-
pecially if challenged before reaching
Stage Door Johnny ran the distance
in 2:27 the second fastest time in Bel-
1--
mont history but three-fifth- s of a second
slower than Gallant Man's mark of
2:26 in 1957, which then was also an
3-- 5
American record.
Pari-mutue-
l'
payoffs were $10.80, $4.40
and $2.60 on Stage Door Johnny, $3 and
$2.10 on Forward Pass, and $2.20 on the
Hirsch entry.
Jade Amicol Takes Lead
Following Draft Card under the wire
was Ardoise, one of two $5,000 supple-
mental nominees. Chompion was sixth,
and then came Sir Beau, T. V. Commer-
cial and the other supplemented colt,
Jade Amicol.
It was Jade Amicol who showed first
out of the gate,, but Foward Pass was
right alongside toward the rail and
quickly sped to the lead going into the
first turn.
Forward Pass maintained a margin
of more than a length over Call Me
Prince, another fast starter, until Stage
Door Johnny went past both of them
on the outside while turning for home.
Gustines, 27, who rode his first race
in the United States in 1960, said he
didn't worry before the race about
Forward Pass.
Confident of Victory
"But I did worry a little in the stretch
until I caught him," he said afterward.
"He's a game horse, but mine ran
better."
The
happy Panamanian,
"Tepito" by his colleagues, said people
refused to believe Stage Door Johnny
capable of winning the Belmont. He had
ridden the colt in each of his half dozen
starts, winning two of three this year,
and said he was confident.
Gustines asked, to fkeep his shoulder
number a "lucky" seven, and displayed
it proudly to writers after the race. His
only previous mount in the Belmont was
on Gaylord's Feather, who finished sixth
last year.
John Hay Whitney and his sister, Mrs.
Charles Shipmam Payson, owners of
kins, 26, of the 600 block of East Cald-

200 block of South 28th.
Henry Perkins Jr., 20, of 2700 block
of Green Alley, and Charles K. Bailey,
26, of New Albany, Ind., were charged
with malicious burning of a building after
a fire at Fifteenth Street Dispensary,
1501 Garland.
Four of the juveniles were charged
with storehouse breaking, the rest with
breach of peace.
No one was reported injured in the
area Friday, and Fire Department of-
ficials said half of the 26 calls in the
trouble section were false alarms. Eight
of the calls were of incendiary origin,
but the fires were quickly extinguished,

About 350 black persons, most of them

to demand the dismissal of Louisville
Patrolman Michael Clifford, who had ar-
rested two prominent black businessmen
a few weeks earlier.
A police investigation had concluded
that the officer used excessive force in
making the arrests, and Clifford had been
suspended, but the Civil Service Board
had recommended his reinstatement, and

Louisville's militants were hopping mad.
They had already warned
then-may-
, Kenneth A. Schmied that they wouldn't
bear responsibility for "what might hap-
pen at the rally tonight." Schmied took
that as a threat.
The rally's organizers had promised
that Stokely Carmichael, the black power
advocate, would be there. They had
started the false rumor to insure a good
crowd.
Carmichael didn't show; so the same
leaders who had started the rumor now
'
told the crowd that the "power structure"
in Louisville had refused to let Stokely's
plane land.
The people, standing on the roof of

Palace restaurant, began getting restless.
Same old jive. Stokely ain't coming.
Nothing's gonna happen. The rally was
breaking up.
Then, suddenly and inexplicably, the
"party" started. A bus barged through
the intersection, nearly steamrolling half

the crowd. Somebody tossed a rock at the
lumbering bus, starting a fusillade. More
rocks. Bricks. Lightbulbs, making pleas-
ant popping sounds as they hit the pave-
ment. "Let's cool that stuff; somebody's
gonna get hurt," someone shouted.
But in a matter of seconds, all hell
broke loose. Gunshots were heard. Po-- ,
lice cars came screeching in from all di-
rections, lights flashing. Police Capt. John

"Oh baby, it's finally here," kids
shouted gleefully. "It's really happening."
Louisville's 1968 disorders don't rank
among the riots that wracked
full-blow- n
' other American cities during 1967 and
1968.
Two black youths were killed one
by a policeman, the other by a grocer.
Here is a brief, account of
what took place during Louisville's civil
disorders five years ago.
Monday, May 27. As 350 persons were
leaving a rally at 28th and Greenwood,
rock- - and erupted and po-
bottle-throwin-
lice converged on the area. Within min-
utes, rioting and burning began.
Within an hour, Mayor Kenneth A.
Schmied ordered all police
called in, requested county police help,
asked Gov. Louie B. Nunn to activate six
Louisville National Guard units and sent
100 state police into the city.
An hour and a half after the outbreak
of the trouble, a command post was set
up at the Brandeis Elementary School,
26th and Date, for police and Guard
units. Schmied declared an 11 p.m. to 5
a.m. curfew. Twelve persons were injured
five were admitted to Louisville Gen-
eral Hospital.
Tuesday, May 28. At 2 p.m., looting and
burning began again in the area of 28th
and Greenwood.
Police Chief Col. C. J. Hyde said the
"primary area of disturbance" was be-
tween 26th, 34th, Dumesnil and Broad-
way. But scattered incidents were report-
ed as far west as Cecil Avenue and in the
n
area bounded by Broad- -

ft?ow jyn
Most of the improvements
that have been made since
the 1968 disorders have
been institutional. It's
hard to say whether there
has been improvement on
the personal level . . .
But not a single policeman, fireman or
National Guardsman was hit by sniper
fire, though city police said they were
fired on at least twice. No sniping arrests
were made.
Property damage in Louisville was as-
sessed at more than $500,000, but this
doesn't compare with the destruction suf-
fered by such cities as Detroit, Los An-
geles and Cleveland, where similar dis-
orders caused millions of dollars' worth
of damage.
Yet the memory of Louisville's "mini-riot- "
hasn't faded. To many young blacks,
those five anxious days seem a glorious
chapter in Louisville's history.
Other blacks remember the disorders
as a series of shameful episodes, when
blood was needlessly shed, property was
needlessly destroyed, and fear reigned in
black neighborhoods. They remember
that two young blacks were killed.
For many white Louisvillians, memo-
ries of the 1968 disorders provoke bitter,
angry reactions. They describe the vio-
lence as "senseless," "unwarranted" and
"plain stupid."
It has now been more than five years
since that relatively calm rally turned
monster.
A lot of important questions remain
unanswered.
What has been done since the 1968 dis-
orders to improve race relations in Louis-
ville? Have there been any changes in
attitude on the part of whites, blacks,
police, politicians, businessmen? Do black
widespread in 1973 as it was in 1968?
Have police relations with the black
community improved? What are the
hopeful signs? Are there any portents of
further racial trouble? Have Louisville
officials made plans for handling future
trouble, or for g situations that
could bring new disorders on?
And, above all is it likely to happen
again?
There is no clear answer to the last

were injured, including four shooting vic-

An 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. curfew was im-
posed. The total National Guard force
was raised to 1,900.
Wednesday, May 29. Mayor Schmied,
after meeting with Negro militants,
agreed to have National Guardsmen with-
drawn from the western part of the city,
and said he would not impose a third
night of curfew.
A group of 40 Negro marshals began
patrolling the trouble area.
Little trouble was reported early in the
night.

By WILLIE RIDDLE
Courier-Journa- l
There has been a lot of speculation in
Staff Writer
Louisville's white community as to who
speaks for the black community. Some
name the relatively new Black Panther
Party and the Black Workers Coalition.
Others point to older organizations such
as the National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People (NAACP)
or the Urban League. Still others whisper
in obvious fear that the African Socialist
Party or the Black Muslims really have
the ear of the city's Negroes.
But when members of Louisville's
black community are asked who speaks
for them, their answers vary from spe-
cific individuals to a flat "nobody."
However, before and after the city's
racial disorders five years ago, there ap-
peared to be identifiable leaders. Or, as
one black man put it, "there were some
leaders that the newspapers made
leaders."
Men like Sam Hawkins, leader of a
group called the Black Unity League of
Kentucky (BULK); Eugene Robinson,
associate director of the Louisville Jef-
ferson County Human Relations Commis-sion- ,
at the time, the Rev. W. J. Hodge
of the NAACP, Robert Kuyu Sims, also
of BULK; the Rev. Leo Lesser and
others.
Now most of the blacks interviewed
for this story say there are no leaders
who speak for the majority of the black
community.
"Ain't no such thing," said the Rev. Mr.
Lesser in a recent interview. "Sure, there
are people that represent a certain seg-
ment of the community like the NAACP
and the Urban League. But I don't see
any one person standing out as a
leader. . , .
"But I think it is good to have some
type of leadership that is, someone who
is going to do what the people want
done," said the Rev. Mr. Lesser, former
associate director of the
Human Relations Commission and an un-
successful candidate for the Democratic
mayoral nomination last week.
Lyman T. Johnson, a retired educator
and civil-right- s
leader, agreed with the
assessment. "I doubt that any-
one has sufficient support to say they
represent the whole community because
we are so fragmented."
In an informal "quickie" poll, 15 blacks
young and old and selected at random
were asked if there are black leaders in
the community. Eleven said no, three
named specific individuals and the other
person said only groups can speak for the
community.
"Blacks are not concerned about lead-
ers. No one can stand up for me and say
that he is my leader or that he speaks for
me," said Charles Adkins, 26. "Leader
ship appears in the black community as
the need arises. If there is no immediate
need we don't need leaders."
However, other blacks say there are
bona fide leaders, adding that although
they might not be as vocal as those on
the scene during the 1968 riots they are
giving the community what it wants.
"I think that there are definitely black
leaders," said Roosevelt Roberts, chair-
man of the Black Workers Coalition.
"I have always said that potentially the
conditions in black communities all over
the country and probably all over the
world have made each and every black a
potential leader in their community.
"We have as many leaders as the white
folks. But the thing is making the black
people aware of their potential and get-
ting it out of them."
Ken Clay, a former business owner at
28th and Greenwood, focal point of the
riots, said today's leaders aren't as iden-
tifiable as before. "A lot of leaders have
gone underground, and some are known
only within their certain groups."

At Oxford University in England,
more than 300 students smashed
iron gates, wrestled with campus
police and staged a brief
sit-i- at the
n
administration building.
'
They won modification of an order by
university proctors barring them from
handing out pamphlets calling on work-
ers at a nearby automobile plant to reject
the government's policy on wage restric-
tions. The agreement is that they can now
hand out pamphlets, but only after the
proctors read them.
V In Rome, riot police seized the Uni-
versity of Borne from 2,000 leftist stu-
dents who had held the campus three
days. The rector called for the police in-
tervention after an fight be-
hour-lon- g
tween the leftists and a group of
rightist
students who favor the resumption of
classes. Ten students were hurt and 53
arrested.
French students maintained their
occupation of university buildings and
various high schools in Paris. They
showed little desire to end their upris-
ing in spite of assurances from Premier
Georges Pompidou that reforms were
coming.
The chairman of the leftist Japa-
nese Student Federation threatened that
3,000 of his followers would invade the
U.S. embassy in Tokyo and consulates
elsewhere in Japan Friday to protest the
crash of a U.S. jet Sunday that set fire to

that they be more active politically and

general elections that had been
scheduled for July 1956.
Tho has, therefore, been intimately
connected with his party's decisions on
South Vietnam since an early date. Since
he has this background, observers here
regard it as scarcely credible that he has
come to Paris merely to peddle Hanoi's
demand for a total halt to
the American bombing and reconnais-
sance of North Vietnam.

men passed a resolution calling on the
mayor to go with the aldermen to the
people in the trouble areas.
Schmied maintained that his primary
responsibility was to stay close to City
Hall and Police Headquarters, where
efforts to restore law and order were
being directed. He said he would meet
with any group of individuals genuinely
interested in the community problems,
but that the rioting and looting had to
be controlled first.
The mayor said he had no intention
of meeting with some of the militants
who, he said, demonstrated clearly that
they were not interested in improving
the lot of the Negroes.
"I'm not going to try to solve anything
with hoodlums and thugs," he said. "I'm
not going into a meeting where you have
agitators who want to break it up. We're
not going to be browbeaten into any-
thing."
Neighborhood Visits to Resume
Schmied said he planned to resume
the West End neighborhood visits started
two weeks ago "as soon as things are un-
der control."
"I'll be back talking to the people
about their problems," he said.
Capt. John Hampton, in charge of the
Police Department's 4th District in the
West End, described yesterday as "a
normal day" so far as the police were
concerned. He said there were "no racial
incidents of any kind."
The mayor expressed thanks to Gov.
".iuie B. Nunn, the National Guard,
'
i, county and city police, city fire-
men and others for their cooperation and
a "job well done" in handling the dis-
orders.
He also expressed gratitude to "Negro

Egger said. "They talked for three days,
and it's been a couple weeks since then."
Egger set 9 a.m. June 12 which would
be 28 days after the end of the stewards'
hearing as the starting time for the
commission's hearing of Fuller's appeal.
The hearing will be at the" Kentucky Fair

Fuller also asked the secretary of the
commission to issue subpoenas for the

It DID Happen Here
Restraint Marred by Bloodshed
Two young men were killed
least 10 other civilians were

reported
injured in connection with the civil dis-
orders that erupted in Louisville the
night of May 27.
tAll were Negroes.
Killed were James Groves, 14, and
Matthias Washington Browder, 19. The
Groves boy was shot by a policeman.
A merchant whose store was being
looted has been charged with man-
slaughter in Browder's death.
Both were killed late Wednesday night,
May 29, after it was thought that a sem-
blance of order had been restored to the
troubled areas.
i. The circumstances surrounding several
of the shootings are still unclear. But
apparently five of those injured were
hit by police gunfire.
Police, too, were targets.
Two incidents of shooting at city police
during the disorders were confirmed, but
no "sniping" arrests were made, accord-
ing to Lt. Col Bert Hawkins.
y Confusion, Tension and Fear
"
Hawkins said officers reported being
shot at during the outbreak of disorders
on May 27 at 28th and Greenwood. A
bullet was found in a utility pole there,
he said.
'
The second instance occurred later that
week when officers weie fired on from
a house at 39th and River Park, Hawkins
said. He said a carload of men fled from
the house.
Jefferson County Police Chief Thomas
Holsclaw said no shots were fired at
county police during the disturbances
but they heard some shooting.
-
It is difficult to convey the confusion,
tension and fear in the troubled areas
during the disorders.
Bricks and bottles were flung at
policemen, firefighters and National
Guardsmen, although no estimate of how
many were hit is available. Fires were
being set, windows smashed and stores
looted.
Although self proclaimed black mili
tants and others have bitterly criticized
the shootings involving police, it seems
clear from reporters' investigations that
the vast majority of the 2,300 city, coun-
ty and state policemen and National
Guardsmen acted with restraint.
On Memorial Day, the day after the
Groves boy was fatally shot, Police Chief
C. J. Hyde ordered police to exercise
"whatever force is necessary to arrest
observed looters."
' He said then that the order was issued
to "reassure" officers. Last week, he ex-
plained to reporters that he didn't mean
shoot to kill.
"It was an order to arrest anyone vio-
lating the law by the use of necessary
Jorce," Col. Hyde said. "You have to
have faith in professionally trained po-
lice to carry out the order properly."
As it turned out, the disturbances had

James Groves: a Fleeing Looter or Scared Boy?
James Claude Groves Jr., 14, spent the
last day of his life Wednesday, May 29
doing the things most boys do.
He arose on time and went to school
that day. Afterward, he stopped at the
home of a friend, Bobby Johnson, to ask
if he could stay there overnight.
Bobby wasn't there, so James visited
another friend, Quinton Bridges, and they
shot two games of pool. He went home
for dinner, then returned. Quinton and
James played records and watched tele-
vision until about 9 p.m. Then James
went home.
In the den of their house, at 846 S.
32nd, James joined his mother, Mrs. Fan-
nie Groves; a brother, Khuel, and two
older sisters, Jackie and Brenda, in
watching television. Another sister and
brother, Barbara and Jesse, were in bed.
Only Incident on Block
Then, about 11 p.m., while Mrs. Groves
was out of the room, James left the
house.
Disorder and looting were rampant

The commission recommended:
"A comprehensive regulation should

was drawn to it and lost his life.
Police said Patrolman Charles Noe shot
James at 11:42 p.m. as he and two other
youths fled Rose Grocery, 860 S. 32nd,
dropping loot as they ran. They said Noe
fired a warning shot, reloaded, then lev-
eled the single-shot- , shotgun at
the suspect disappearing into the dark,
and fired.
Deputy Coroner Charles Proctor said
James was dead on arrival at General
Hospital at 11:50 p.m.
Path of Pellets Traced
On the basis of wounds Mrs. Groves
and others saw on James, there have been
claims that the youth was shot twice
once in the side and once in the chest
and that the chest wound proves James
was not running from police.
Proctor said, however, that the chest
wound was caused by the exit of two
shotgun pellets. Proctor said James' body
had four entrance wounds on the right
side from four pellets.
One pellet entered his right hip and
lodged in his thigh. Two pellets entered
at the waistline, passed through the liver
and kidney and exited on the left side
of the chest. The fourth pellet entered
below his right armpit, passed through
the right lung, the aorta and the pul-
monary artery. It lodged just below the
skin in the left chest area.
Police described the type of shot-
gun shell used by Noe as a "double aught
nine." A Louisville ammunition dealer
said such a shell contains nine pellets,
each about the size of a pencil eraser or
a .32 caliber bullet.
To determine what happened, anyone
investigating the shooting must rely in
part on the accounts of people who say
they were eyewitnesses to the looting and
subsequent shooting.
As a result of what some of these peo-
ple have said, Mrs. Groves and others
have raised some questions about James'
death:

Police make it their business to pin-

THE SCENE of the fatal shooting of James Groves Jr., 14, shows
where he fell to the sidewalk north of Rose Grocery, 860 S. 32nd,
which police say he and other youths were looting. Reporters
investigating the shooting and the accounts of persons claiming
witnesses believe one of two shotgun blasts hit the doorway of the
vacant store just north of the grocery. They also believe that

the shooting occurred.
LOOTING?
At least five persons claiming to be
witnesses said James was only watching
from the sidewalk as a group of boys
pried off a wire screen and kicked in the
boards protecting the door of the Rose
Grocery. They said James never entered
the store and never joined the other boys
in looting.
But two other youths who are said to
have been among the looters said James
did take some items from the store. One
said James was empty-hande- d when
police arrived. The other said James
pitched away two bags of potato chips
and two six-pac-
of Coca-Col- a just as the
squad car appeared on the scene.

Browder had walked directly from the
grill toward the liquor store and was

discovered he had been shot The physi-

One witness said there were two or

reporter was told simply, "Go away."
Witnesses acknowledged that a cluster
of youths had broken the window at the
north end of the store and were reaching
in to grab bottles. All of those inter-
viewed said Browder was not near that
end of the store.
"Earlier that day, when they broke
into the Taylor Drug Store, Matt said

to get drunk on," one youth related. ,"He

POSE A SPECIAL PROBLEM
possibility seems to be ruled out by a
pattern of shotgun pellet marks on the
doorway of a vacant store next to Rose
Grocery. The doorway bears the marks
of four pellets. Bricks around the door-
way show two fresh chips, possibly the
marks of two other pellets.
It appears unlikely that the pellets that
inflicted one wound in James' leg and
three others in critical areas of his body
came from the same blast that hit the
doorway. Had he been hit by that blast,
he would have had to move about 20 feet
from the doorway to where he fell on the
sidewalk near the steps leading to a
house at 854 S. 32nd.
Assuming then that two shots were
fired and that one of them hit James, was
the other fired in warning? If so, was it
aimed at the vacant store and why?
A woman who said she watched the
looting and subsequent shooting from her
front porch heard two shots. She be-
lieved James fell after the first shot.
She believed Noe fired once, yelled
"Halt," then fired again.
Some "single-shot- " witnesses said Noe
yelled "Halt," then fired once. Others
said they did not hear a warning cry, but
their attention may not have been
attracted until they heard a shot.
Police Slill Investigating
Was Patrolman Noe hasty in sizing up
the situation at 32nd and Garland that
night?
There were four policemen in the
patrol car that pulled up to the store.
Persons claiming to be witnesses say its
siren was not on and its red light was not
flashing.
Mrs.
By one account, Noe fired a first shot
with the sqnad car door half-ope- By
most accounts, he "jumped" from the
car and fired a first shot almost im-
mediately.
The youth who claimed James took
potato chips and soft drinks said he
witnessed the shooting from the corner
of the building, where he ran as police
arrived.
James had stopped running and was
turning toward Noe when a first shot
was fired, this youth said. Then, he said,
James began falling or ducking. The
witness then fled himself and did not see
a second shot fired.
j
Pending the outcome of their own
investigation and possible court actions
stemming from the shooting, police have
declined to divulge anything more than
basic information.
No charges have been filed in connec-
tion with the Groves boy's death.

Civilian Casualties: How Each One Was Wounded
Police confirm that nine civilians were
wounded in connection with the civil dis-
orders in Louisville the last week of May.
Courier-Journa- l
reporters investigating
the nine cases found a 10th victim.
At least eight were hurt in shootings.
A ninth was grazed by either a shotgun
pellet or flying glass. A 10th claimed he
was cut by a National Guardsman's bayo-
net.
At least four of the eight l non-fata-
shooting victims were hit by police gun-
fire. A fifth victim may have been shot
by a policeman. Two others apparently
were injured by weapons,
which normally aren't issued to police.
The eighth victim was hit by a shotgun
blast, the origin of which has not been
established.
Numerous policemen and firemen also
suffered injuries during the disorders,
but none were shooting victims.
As far as could be determined by the
reporting team, these are the circum-
stances .surrounding the non-fata- l
in-
juries:
James L. Mayjield
The first shooting victim of the dis-
orders apparently was James L. Mayfield,
23, of 632 Lindell, who was shot about
8:35 p.m. May 27 as he was leaving the
scene of the rally at 28th and Greenwood.
Someone had just thrown a bottle that
landed behind six policemen standing in
a parking lot off 28th Street, Mayfield
said, but the disorders actually hadn't
started yet. A shot went off, and he was
.struck behind the right knee, the bullet
lodging in the joint.
Mayfield said his doctor believes the
bullet is the size of a slug, the
size used in the standard police sidearm.
An out-patie- at General Hospital,
where he is given physical therapy twice
a week, Mayfield said he didn't allow po-
lice to take him to the hospital because
he feared they might have placed a
charge against him because of the wound.
Roy Lee Wickliffe
A shotgun wound felled Roy Lee Wick-
liffe, 22, of 1532 Hemlock, at 9:30 p.m.
May 27, on 28th Street between Broad-
way and Magazine.
Wicklfife told reporters that he and
two other men were walking on the east
side of 28th, just past a service station,
when a shotgun blast hit him in the right
side of his abdomen. The shot, he said,
came either from the alley between the
service station and a beer depot or from
inside the beer depot itself.
After being shot, Wickliffe went to a
nearby store, and someone from the store
took him to General Hospital.
Wickliffe, hospitalized until June 1,
said his doctor told him that the shot
must have come through the window.
Otherwise, the wound would have been
more serious, he was told. Wickliffe sent
his sister, Mrs. Doris Jean Wallace, to
see if the depot window was broken. She
reported that there was broken glass on
the sidewalk but the window was not
broken.

Report of the National Advisory Com-
mission on Civil Disorders, commonly
called the Kerner Report.
"Sufficient manpower is a prerequisite
for controlling potentially dangerous
crowds," the report says. "The speed
with which it arrives may well determine
whether the situation can be controlled.
" In the summer of 1967 we believe that

Hospitals Played Roles by Ear During Disorders
By PAUL BULLEIT
Courier-journ- Staff Writer
The large emergency section of Louis-
ville General Hospital was ready and
waiting during the civil disorders the last
week in May, but hard guidelines for
medical aid under such situations were
and still are virtually nonexistent.
As it turned out, the case load in the
emergency section dropped from an aver-
age of about 200 cases a day to about 16JD
cases a day on May 28 and 29, records
show.
This was largely due to curfew, which
kept people off th: streets. But besides

Guard Leaves Trouble Area
Curfew Is Lifted by Schmied
Mayor Kenneth A. Schmied, in a meet-
ing yesterday with Negro militants,
agreed to have National Guardsmen
withdrawn from guard duty in Louis-
ville's West End and said he would
not impose a third night of curfew
on the city.
And Schmied consented to a plan
whereby city police and a group of some
SO special Negro marshals would take
over in the area patrolled by k
Guardsmen since the trouble broke out
Monday night.
At 10:30 p.m. nearly six hours later
Police Chief C. J. Hyde said the plan
apparently had been successful in keeping
trouble down, although looting had been
De Gaulle Goes
Home; Rumors
Say He'll Quit
By LOUIS NEVIN
PARIS (AP) President Charles de
Gaulle left Paris secretly yesterday for
a visit to his country home, setting off
published speculation that he plans to
resign as chief of state of this strike-cripple- d
nation.
Workers and students shouted for De
Gaulle's resignation and the ouster of
Premier Georges Pompidou in a massive
march from the Place de la Bastille to
the Place de la Republique, an
demonstration that police
estimated drew 100,000. Other estimates
said more than 200,000 marched. The
Communist-le- General Confederation of
d
Labor organized it.
Cries went up for early national elec-
tions to solve the crisis, set off by
student rioters, that has paralyzed
French industry and transport and left
up to 10 million workers on strike.
Where Did He Stop on the Way?
Former Premier Pierre Mendcs-Franc-
renowned for once having tried
to make milk drinkers out of
Frenchmen, called for the formation of
a transitional government to deal with
the crisis. The politician said
he was ready to head such a government
if called on by "all the forces of the left."
He said such an administration must have
the support of "the live forces" in the
factories and universities.
De Gaulle arrived at his country home
at by helicop-
s
Colombey-Les-Deux-Eglise-
ter about eight hours after aides an-
nounced he had left the Elysee Palace
in Paris to spend the night there. Mrs.
De Gaulle accompanied him.
The distance is about 150 miles. The
elapsed time of about eight hours raised
talk that he must have stopped en route
for consultation with someone about the
deepening unrest. Where this might have
been was undetermined.
Confusion arising from the political
flux was underlined in successive state-
ments by Premier Pompidou, the first
announcing that Pompidou was going to
make a television speech to the nation
and the second canceling that announce-
ment.

Organization Brought
Peden, Cook Victories

In primaries, it is often said, the
average citizen stays home, the party
regular comes out, and the best organiza-

This was true in large part in Ken-

Both the GOP and the Democratic candi-

won decisively.
Miss Katherine Peden, backed strongly
by the organization of former Gov.
Edward T. Breathitt, swept the
Democratic primary, carrying
all seven of Kentucky's congressional
districts, 109 of the state's 120 counties
and all but one of Kentucky's urban

Op eration
Clergyineii, settlement wovkevs join efforts
to sooth ragged tempers and allay fears
By
Yesterday's efforts to ease the violence
which has disrupted Louisville since
Monday night ranged from impassioned
to an attempt on the
speech-makin-
part of one West End settlement house
to conduct "business as usual."
Some were attempts to allay fears
and smooth ragged tempers. Others
involved lines of communication
tween those active in the disorders and
be-
those charged with keeping peace.
The result of a number of the "cool-it- "
efforts was an agreement reached
about n
yesterday whereby
black youths formed their own brigade
to keep control in the disturbed areas
and National Guardsmen were pulled
back from the trouble spots.
Steps leading to the arrangement be-
gan yesterday morning when Dr. Martin
Perley, executive director of the city-coun- ty
Human Relations Commission,
asked permission to address the Black '
Unity League of Kentucky and invite
the Negro group to attend an afternoon
meeting of the commission.
The Negroes involved in the disorders
"were insisting that the mayor come and

David Lawrence Says:
Washington Is Resigned to the Fact
That Peace Sparring Will Be Long
WASHINGTON The tendency here
is to allow the Paris peace conference
plenty of time for sparring perhaps
months. This is partly due to the fact that
relatively little impatience has been
shown by the American people about the
slow progress of the negotiations. Only
a few voices are heard which advocate
putting a time limit on the parleys and
issuing some kind of threat to resume
bombing of all area in North Vietnam.
The administration, however, is not in-
clined to take any such drastic measures.
Instead, there is a desire to wait out
the propaganda maneuvers and dilatory
tactics of the Hanoi delegation in Paris.
One purpose is to make clear to the world
that the United States continues to be
anxious to work out a settlement but has
been blocked by the adamant position
of the Communist-inspire- North Viet-
namese.

SENATOR KENNEDY is proving his
fitness for the White House by going out
every day and getting torn apart by some
mob or other. Which is as good a way
as any.
To watch it on television, this Pro-
crustean Strategy, as it's called, looks
deceptively simple. Kennedy stands up
in the back seat of a convertible; a 220-poun- d
bodyguard locks his arms around
Mr. Kennedy's knees to prevent the theft
of the candidate; Kennedy extends both
arms in a Christian gesture; people steal
his cuff links.
To date, independent statisticians cal-
culate, Kennedy has lost no fewer than
10,373 cuff links.
The figure elates Kennedy strategists.
"If we can just hit 25,000 by June 4,"
says one, "we'll win the California pri-
mary going away."
For behind this seemingly masochistic
strategy lies one of the greatest break-
throughs in campaign techniques.

ported, everywhere Kennedy goes And he

evening. "And the mayor said he could

said he made his request through Negro

newly appointed associate director of the

chief of police," said Robinson, "and

intersection at 28th and Greenwood. We
had our meeting."
While Robinson's group, composed
mostly of younger Negroes, met outside
at the intersection where the first inci-
dent had occurred Monday night, another
group of Negroes met inside the nearby
office of the Kentucky Christian Leader-
ship Conference (KCLC), Robinson said.
That group "negotiated (by telephone
with Mayor Kenneth A. Schmied) to have
the Guard pulled out and have the street
marshaled by young biack people," Rob-
inson said, "and word (of the arrange- -

Stewart urged the Soviet government
to use its influence with the North Viet-
namese to make some reciprocal gesture
of military restraint in answer to the cur-
tailing of bombing by the United States.
Britain and Russia were cochairmen of
the 1954 Geneva conference which ne-
gotiated peace in the Vietnam area, and
a similar meeting now could be convened.
But the Soviet foreign minister declined
to intervene, and declared instead that
the United States should stop all bombing
of North Vietnam without any precondi-
tions.
So no Communist government is help-

Or apparent admirers.
For what must be borne in mind, of
course, is that any man who lets people
steal his cuff links wiil draw a crowd.
Secondly, it is widely held in the Ken-
nedy camp that every stolen cuff link
represents a vote won. "Would you vote
against a man," they say confidently,
"who lets you steal his cuff links?"
The Trick: Automation
Some newspaper readers have won-
dered how Kennedy manages to have so
many cuff links stolen. The answer, in
keeping with the spirit of the times, lies
in automation.
The cuff links, which are bought by
the hundredweight, are kept stored in
a small knapsack under Kennedy's shirt.
Two pneumatic tubes lead from the
knapsack to the candidate's wrists. As
each cuff link is stolen, another is auto-
matically inserted in his cuff thus en-
abling him to have 373.4 cuff

About 40 Negroes then met with

what Robinson termed a "good meeting."
Final arrangements were made then to
replace the local police and guardsmen
with Negro 'marshals.'

The results have certainly made the

has engendered a personal devotion rare

Typical, perhaps, is Mr. Stanleigh

written in specific response to, increasing
protest, upheaval, frustration, fear and
moral and legal confusion. It is pre-
sented, not inappropriately, as a "broad-
side," a timely political pamphlet "in the
tradition of the American revolutionary
press," yet the appellation should not
take away from its fairness, candor and
sensitivity; it could well replace whole
textbooks in civics.
Fears a Polarized Sttciety
This is not to say (and Fortas would
make no such claim) that it is anything
like a last word on the constitutional and
moral issues that now confront us in re-
gard to dissent and civil disobedience,
but it does provide a sorely needed
framework for intelligent discussion and
fruitful argument.
We are in real danger, Fortas believes,
of becoming a polarized society in which
those who wish to change things and
those opposed to change become increas-
ingly intransigent and increasingly
willing to resort to force and violence.
Yet the survival of freedom and
democracy depends upon the rules of
conduct the methods and practices that
survive present and future confronta-
tions: "procedure" by which he means
what too many people are willing to dis-
miss as "legalisms" and "technicalities"
or to pervert hyprocritically to deny
redress and justice "is the bone struc-
ture of a democratic society." It is, in
fact, precisely what the social contract
and the Constitution are about.
Conflicting Values Recognized
The Constitution, he writes, seeks to
accommodate two conflicting values, each
of which is fundamental but neither of
which is absolute: "the need for freedom
to speak freely, to protest effectively,
to organize and to demonstrate; and the

necessity of maintaining order so that
other people's rights and the peace and
security of the state will not be im-
paired."
In case of conflict between these
values, we have entrusted to the courts
the task of striking the balance; at the
same time the contest is constantly being
equalized through guarantees to citizens
of elaborate procedural rights.
Acceptance of court interpretations
of the law as binding by and on both
the citizen and the state "is what we mean
by the rule of law," which must, by
its nature, and for the protection of
freedom, be specific and precise.
W Clear Meaning'
Thus, "The Supreme Court of the
United States has said, over and over,
that the words of the First Amend-
ment mean what they say. But they
mean what they say and not something
else. They guarantee freedom to speak
and freedom of the press not freedom
to club people or to destroy property.
The First Amendment protects the right
to assemble and petition, but it requires
in plain words that the right be peace-
ably exercised."
It follows, Fortas writes, that civil
disobedience the deliberate violation
of the law is justified in our nation
only where the law being violated is
itself the focus or target of the
protest. This kind of civil disobedience
is acceptable procedure for the chal-
lenging of particular law: but it as-
"
sumes that other laws will not be wan- -
tonly disregarded and that tho.se con- -
ducting the challenge will abide by the
judgment of the courts.
The Rights of Others
Fortas is fully mindful of the necessity
of dissent, if it is to be effective,
to gain recognition through propaganda
and action; and that action, if it is to
be seen, heard and felt, is going to be
disruptive. But it should be dis-
ruptive in nonviolent ways only, 'with
clear regard for the rights of others
(which it is the duty of the state to
protect) and to the clear purpose of
challenging specific law or custom.
Anything else is an attack upon the
fundamental procedures that guarantee
the freedom of all, dissenters included,
and risks, for all, the undemocratic
and extra-lega- l repression of the mi-
nority by the majority which is what
Fortas fears may come to pass if wide-
spread violence is not prevented.
Fortas covers a great deal of ground
in this small book including some of the
reasons for today's dissent, the rights
and duties (as he sees them) of the state
to protect itself, the true relation of
the Nuernburg trials to antiwar protest,-an-
so forth.

Veteran Negro Fireman
Calms 'Soul Brothers'
By BILL BILLITER
Couritr-Journi-
"You've gat to speak their language,
and that's what I do," said Jesse
Taylor Jr.
Taylor, a Negro fireman who's been
with the Louisville Fire Department nine
years, left sick leave this week to volun-
teer his services to the department in
the West End.
Fire Department officials yesterday
were praising Taylor's help in smooth-
ing the way for firemen to respond to
calls the last three days.
Firemen say Taylor has been a calm-
ing influence on crowds that gather at
fires. To do this, Taylor has ignored
possible danger to himself.

Taylor said the crowd moved away,
and the way was cleared for trucks to
hook up to hydrants. Only one brick
was thrown, he said. It hit the Fire
Department station wagon's top, leaving
a dent. "It could have been a lot
worse," Taylor said.
Taylor has performed additional "soul
brother" public relations several other
times when firemen have . been con-
fronted with hostile crowds. In each
case, he jumped from a Fire Depart-

and again yesterday in the 28th and
Greenwood area.
"I don't approve of destroying
property," said Mrs. Doris Kirby, 35.
"But it seems like that is the only way
to open people's eyes. I'm with them
down on the corner. They are my
people."
Mrs. Kirby had a huge yellow "Soul"
sign in her front window.
Variety of Reasons
About one block away on Greenwood,
a father stood clipping his
front hedges. His little girl watched.
"It might get us recognition," he said.
"It might make people realize that we
are being pushed around. The
movement is just about over with. If we
couldn't get it we'll do it

with violence. You know they say 'It is
going to be a long hot summer' but in

Insurors Will Honor Riot Claims
By ROD WENZ
Courier-Journa-
Even though the losses were the result
of civil disorders, insurance companies
will honor claims of West End residents
and businessmen resulting from this
week's trouble, the state insurance com-
missioner's office said yesterday.
Don. Ross, general counsel for the In-
surance Commission in Frankfort, said
yesterday that standard policy forms on
file with the state cover losses from such
outbreaks unless the violence is declared
an insurrection.
"A high official such as the governor
or the President would have to make this
declaration," Ross said.
The disturbances in Louisville have
not been declared an insurrection.
This is supposed to be a
city."
Mothers were against the violence be-
cause of danger to their children.
"I just think it is terrible," said a
Ebenezer Baptist Church at 28th and
Grand. "For one thing, it broke out in
my neighborhood and I have kids. It was
dangerous."
Many Fear for Property
Some feared for their own property. what they were doing.
At least two dozen homes on the block
of Greenwood east of 28th had "Soul
Brother" signs prominently displayed.

why she put up her sign.
"A little boy told me, 'If you don't put
up a sign, they'll burn your place up.' I
don't know where he got that from. If that
keeps them away, I'll have mine up."
Down the block, an elderly man sat on
his swing and talked about his sign.
"I don't think the houses ought to be
burned up," he said. "The people have
no place to go."
Residents of the area said that many

"To our knowledge, none of the in-
surance companies doing business in Ken-
tucky exclude losses resulting from
riots," Ross said.
Insurance companies define a riot as
"the execution of a violent and unlawful
purpose by three or more persons acting
together to the terror of the people."
Insured losses are covered if the
violence meets that definition.
Not covered are losses resulting from
an insurrection, which is defined as "the
open resistance against civil or estab-
lished authority."
Ross said auto insurance generally
follows the same reasoning in such out-
breaks as do property damage policies
on homes and businesses.

'Concessions' Minimized
West Enders Urged
To 'Cool It' at Rally
By NATHANIEL TILLMAN
courier-Journ- staH Writtr
Negro leaders yesterday urged West
to "cool it" after two davs
FnH rpsirlents
and nights of rioting, but city leaders
were warned that "nothing lasts forever."
Speakers of several Negro organiza- -
tions told a rally at the West End
Skating Rink at 41st and Market that they
had gained some concessions in the re-
moval of police and National Guardsmen
from the 28th and Greenwood area and
the lifting of the curfew, but they
cautioned that this may not be enough.
Even as the rally yesterday afternoon
was breaking up peacefully, reports
indicated that additional guardsmen and
police were being sent back into the
area.
The Rev. A. D. Williams King, pastor
of Zion Baptist Church, and a leader in
the Kentucky Christian Leadership Con-
ference, told the crowd of about 150 it
was time for the Negro to show some
strength. He pointed out that Negroes
were now patrolling the area appealing
for order.
Demand Visit by Schmied
But the Rev. Mr. King told the group
Mayor Kenneth Schmied still refused to
come into the area and speak to the resi
dents.
He said, "We are not going to be satis- -

Bishop Tucker Raps Robinson9 s Human Relations Appointment
The selection of Eugene Robinson,

yesterday at a commission meeting at City

Bishop C. Ewbank Tucker of the AME

Bishop Tucker said Robinson "belongs

Urges Showdown in Disorders
Cortez warned the crowd about fol-
lowing the wrong leaders. He asked
that older Negroes keep their little
brothers off the streets and give black
leaders a chance to do something. If
nothing is accomplished, he said, then
Negroes should move together on City
Hall.

Dr. Martin M. Perley, commission direc-
tor, and several commission members de-

with elements of the West End likely to

guage, Dr. Feney said. "He is an artic- -
ulate young leader who has established
himself with key militant elements of the
-
community. He is a person of great sta-
bility, a person of great ability."
Dr. Perley said Robinson's value was
shown clearly yesterday by his role in
getting leaders of all elements involved
in the West End civil disorders together
for calm discussion. The meeting Dr.
Perley referred to was in the intersection

the only comment during the meeting
coming from Aldermanic President James
E. Thornberry. He said he hoped the
resolution calling on Schmied to join in
meeting with the people will not be
"construed as criticism of the mayor in
any way." Thornberry said the mayor
had given him assurances of his desire
for meetings.
The mayor spoke at a special afternoon
meeting of the Human Relations Com-
mission called to bring its members up
to date on what the staff was doing in
the racial trouble and to see what
additional steps might be taken in
handling the situation. Several aldermen
also attended the meeting.
Several commission members said
West End Negroes want the mayor to
come into their neighborhood, talk with
them and see for himself what the condi-
tions are. This theme also was stressed
later at a West End rally called by
Negro leaders.
At the commission meeting. Glen H.
Stassen told Schmied a visit by him
would give West Enders "a real sense
of 'I hear you' on your part."
Mayor Says He Can't Leave
The mayor said he was unable to leave
the City Hall area, where efforts to get
the disorders under control are centered.
Schmied noted that he had begun a
series of visits to West end neighbor-
hoods before the trouble broke out.
These will be resumed when law and
order are restored, he said.
Marvin Drane, a commission member
who lives in the West End at 2005
Cypress, suggested that the commission
name a committee to find out what
caused the trouble. The mayor replied
that he plans to set up an investigating
committee, but "if the commission wants
one too, that's fine."
Eugene Robinson, chairman of the
West End Community Council and recent
Jty Tnomit ly named associate director of the com- -
mission, stressed the need for more black
in the West End and for someone
to recruit more policemen in the Negro
community.
Robinson said he was against the lower-
ing of police standards to attract more
Negroes, as was suggested earlier this
week by other Negro leaders.
Communication Called Problem
Clarence Boyles Jr. said the com-
mission should not forget "there is
another group of people who have
become quite concerned over the situa-
tion." These are the business people
whose firms are being broken into,
damaged and looted, he explained.
The commission must be concerned
with the rights of both the blacks and
the whites, Boyles said.
All those attending the commission
meeting agreed communications with the

Humphrey and Nixon and the 'Old Politics

NEW YORK The really significant political
news of this week was not what happened in Ore-
gon but what happened in Pennsylvania. For while
Senators Kennedy and McCarthy were getting all
the headlines out west, Humphrey was picking up
a majority of Pennsylvania's 130 votes for the
presidential nomination.
This is developing into an interesting pattern.
McCarthy and Kennedy are against Humphrey.
They came into the race to defeat the "old pros"
and give the country something new, but in the
primary elections they are merely weakening one
another and opening the door for Hubert.
Rockefeller's tactics are having much the same
effect in the Republican campaign. He too was for
"something new," but by delaying his entry into
the race he has contributed to the prospect that
we are going to have to choose between Hum-
phrey and Nixon, the two most familiar characters
in the election.
For McCarthy, who began the battle against the
oldtimers, this is a particularly awkward situation.
It seems highly unlikely that he will win next
week in California and even more unlikely that
he will get the nomination if he does win Cali-
fornia. The college students who are backing him
resent Kennedy for getting into the race and are
unalterably opposed to McCarthy passing what
strength he can to Humphrey, because of the
Vice President's public support for the war.
Some Big Indirect Help
Yet they want McCarthy to continue in the race, going to be President. And if he lives, this coun-
though the more he cuts down Kennedy, the more try is going to be so sick of Lyndon Johnson and
he helps Humphrey. McCarthy, of course, blames Hubert Humphrey by 1972 that I won't have a

Through Campsite Mud

Los Anseles
WASHINGTON Sloshing through ankl-
e-deep mud, Mrs. Martin Luther King
Jr. visited Resurrection City yesterday.
With the Rev. Ralph David Abernathy
and Washington Mayor Walter E. Wash-
ington at her side, Mrs. King went to the
Poor People's Campaign campsite after
a concert dedicated to her late husband
at Lincoln Memorial was washed out by
a sudden thunderstorm.
On the wooden boardwalk

Mrs. King said she regretted that the rain
canceled the concert "on the sacred
ground" where her husband "told us his
dream" during the 1963 march on Wash-
ington.
"But I'm also glad that it rained," she
said, "because now I know what it has
been like for you to live here in the mud
and water.
Post Service Mr. Abernathy on a walking tour of the
campsite. Dressed in a black suit and
black high heels, she moved amidst a
swirling crowd along the boardwalk,
looking into some of the plywood and
plastic huts.
She then pulled on a pair of man's
boots to go through the mud from the
boardwalk to the dining tent, where she
spoke again to a cheering, laughing, sing-
ing crowd of campaign members.
"I've watched you on television and
read about you in the newspapers," she
told them. "You are being tested by all

promptly extinguished, was evidently set

was looted Wednesday, firemen said.
One of the fire runs yesterday was to
Vermont Liquors at 509 S. 34th, where
a Negro was shot and killed
late Wednesday night by the store's
owner.
A flaming object at the rear of the
store was quickly put out by firemen
about 6:48 p.m. The building was not
damaged.
One Youth Arrested
Police reported other area gatherings
of disorderly crowds throughout the
evening. Youths were also reportedly
throwing bricks at passing white motor-
ists near several intersections. Police
arrested a boy at 28th and
Greenwood for stoning motorists.
The shooting deaths of the two youths
were the first fatalities since the disor-
ders began Monday night. Most of the
violence has been concentrated in an
area generally bounded by 32nd Street
on the west, 26th on the east, Dumesnil
on the south and Broadway on the north.
In the two shootings, James Groves Jr.,
14, of 846 S. 32nd St., was shot by police
while Matthias Washington Browder, 19,
of 722 S. 38th, was shot by W. J. Berger,
owner of Vermont Liquors.
The shootings occurred following a
comparatively calm evening.
Groves was hit twice in the right side
by two shotgun blasts fired by Patrolman
Charles Noe, police said. Noe said he
fired when the youth, his arms loaded
with loot from a store at 32nd and Gar-
land, refused to obey an order to halt.
Groves was dead on arrival at General
Hospital.
Charged With Manslaughter
Berger told police he was in the back
of his liquor store, closing up, when a
band of youths broke a front window and
began to enter through it. Berger said
he fired toward the group but was un-
aware he had hit anybody until he went
out front and found a youth on the side

they are looting or rioting.
"Then the main thing you can try to
do is to tell your police don't cut down
a child. If my son was armed and was
shooting back they would have had a
right to cut him down. But he didn't have
anything and they just shot him down on
the sidewalk."
Col. Hyde, in talking to reporters after
Mrs. Groves' appearance at police head-
quarters, expressed regret at what he
called "some of the unfortunate circum-
stances that have taken place."
He commended Mrs. Groves' statement
and said, "This is a great thing that this

Berger, 62, was charged with man-
slaughter. His case was continued at a
special Memorial Day Police Court ses-
sion until July 25, and he was freed
under his own $5,000 bond.
No official action was taken against
patrolman Noe, who shot young Groves.
In that incident, Groves was shot after
Noe and his partner went to the store
at 32nd and Garland in response to a
trouble call. Lt. Col. Bert Hawkins said
later that the officers saw three youths,
one later identified as Groves, flee from
the store with their arms full of loot.
Hawkins said the officers then fired one
warning shot in the air, but the youths
fled into a dark lot nearby. Noe fired
in that direction and apparently hit
Groves.
Grill Owner Doubts Looting
Hawkins said investigation showed that
a window covered by a metal grill and
plywood had been broken and that some
loot had been found in nearby weeds.
The owner of a grill next to the liquor
store said he had just sold Browder a
fish sandwich and that the youth had just
left the grill and wouldn't have had time
to break the store window by the time
the shots were fired.
Bystanders at the scene said Browder
had a fish sandwich in his hand when
shot. There were also two bottles of cham-
pagne near the body, they said.

LONDON Press potentate Cecil King,
who three weeks ago called for the
removal of Prime Minister Harold Wil-

of the International Publishing Corp. in
an apparent rebuke for his attack on the
Labor government.
Hugh Cudlipp, King's chief
ordinate, was unanimously elected chair-
man by the directors of IPC, the largest
publishing house in the free world. The
unexpected boardroom coup caused a
sensation on Fleet Street.
In a television interview, the
King said he was certain that he was
fired because of his May 10 signed

that Wilson quit. But insiders in IPC
