Lucy from’ classes. , , The student legislature, however. adopted a resolution denouncing the "mob violence,” after the faculty voted down a resolution condemning the trustees’ action. The series of rock and eggthrowing demonstrations also had reverberations in Washington where Sen. Harley Kilgore (D-W. Va.) called on the FBI to investigate what he determined "the deplorable situation" at Tuscaloosa. The disturbances began on the campus Friday night with -a crossburning incident hours after Miss Lucy attended her first class. They ended early Tuesday when the decision to suspend Mias Lucy was announced. University student leaders and a segment of the faculty members condemned the action by the board of trustees in keeping Miss Lucy from classes./ Miss Lucy’s attorney. Arthur D? Shores, notified school- officials that unless the first negrO student to attend Alabama in its 125 year history is reinstated within 48 hours he will take further legal action. This probably would be a request for a federal contempt citation against university officials. It would be filed in the federal

court where Miss Lucy in a three year fight won an order directing the university to admit her last week. The university’s faculty, by a voice vote that indicated a wide split in faculty sentiment, refuse* to approve a resolution deploring the .lack of police protection and the trustees’ surrender to "mob rule." —— ■Miss Lucy, a Birmingham secretary, said she is “still determined" to attend the university. A statement by the board of trustees, issued by university President Dr. Oliver C. Carmichael, said its action in excluding the negro co-ed was based on the board's responsibility to protect bath students and faculty members. ; * ( , i The student legislature, meeting before 50 persons, adopted a resolution denouncing the demonstrations and asked that “means be taken to protect the future personal sofety of students and faculty and the reputation of the university.” Dennis Holt, a student leader from Birmingham, told the assembly: “We’re here to tell the world . . that this school is not run by vandals, thugs ... the citixens councils or the Ku Klux Klan. The overwhelming majority of students is opposed to mob violence and mob rule.” Miss Lucy admitted to newsmen In Birmingham that It would have been unsafe for her to return to the university Monday when her presence at morning sessions of classes drew a mob estimated at from 2,000 to 3,000 persons who threw rocks and eggs. She said she was hit on the left shoulder W one egg. Both the Alabama senate and bouse passed a resolution oommending the university trustees for barring Miss Lutcy. State Sen. Albert Davis said in a floor speech: “We can thank God for the men Tuesday who had the courage to say, ‘To hell with the Supreme Court!’ This is what the people of Alabama say. They recognise no law, no edict of nine black robed men unless we deem it to be the law of Alabama.” i The Alabama house Tuesday passed a senate approved bill proposing that Alabama parents be given their choice of three types of schools for their children —allwhite, all-negro and Integrated. It signed or ignored by the governor. (in either event it takes effect,) the proposal goes before the voters in referendum next Aug. 28. The house vote was 99-1 in favor of the bill. Last month it passed the senate 33-0. ~ri. ~ 4 Less than 2 percent of normal children have crossed eyes. ' -; ’ J Sefen U.S. vice presidents have succeeded to the presidency.

Rules Consent Os Candidate Not Necessary Indiana Election Board Issues Rule Regarding Primary INDIANAPOLIS (INS) — Indiana’s first presidential primary may be a crowded one, and almost certainly will Include the names of President Eisenhower, Adlai Stevenson and Senator Estes Kefauver. ■ : ....’ ... ' That was the outlook today after the state election board voted. 2 to 1. that the consent of a candidate is not necessary" to hie entrance into the Indiana primary, May 1 Governor George N. Craig,, chair man ex officio, and the other Republican member of the board. Ewing Emison, of Vincennes, outvoted Democrat Thomas J» Paul ooner 111, of Indianapolis, on the ruling, late'Tuesday. Still clouding the atmosphere is the possibility that Craig's intraparty x foes, secretary of state Crawford Parker or attorney general Edwin K. Steers, may challenge the state election board decision. " Parker had said previously he would not accept filings of potential presidential* candidates for including in the preference vote unless he had the written consent of the candidate or his authorised representative. Today, be said he would have no further comment until after he reads the text of the ruling. Steers is understood to have given Parker an informal opinion that the 1955 law establishing the presidential primary vote requires such signed consent. Craig and Emison, in a memo very obviously pointed at Parker, commented Tuesday night: * "No inquiry by the secretary pf state is contemplated as to the authority of the representative beyond his statement that he is duly emplowered to act for a candidate." •_ The state election board produced a compromise prevision that may mean the majority decision will not be further questioned. This is a rule that any candidate who wishes to withdraw his name from the presidential primary may do so within three days after the March 29 deadline for filing. This year, such a deadline will come April 2, since April J. Is a Sunday x Craig happily indicated he will file President Eisenhower's candidacy in the Indiana balloting right after the Feb. 28 date upon which the secretary of state is empowered to accept such filings. Metro M. Hotoyachka, Lake county prosecutor, has said he already has 6,000 signers on s' petition to enter Senator Kefauver’# name on the Democratic ticker tor the presidential primary,-Only 9<M names lAs • yet neither Governor Craig nor Holpvachka have their candidate's consent for the entry, but both have expressed confidence speh consent Will be forthcoming. .In addition, Democratic; state chairman Charlka gklllbn; Is the holder of a numbei ot the, .petition blahka, whlch-he said he obtained "to have them, handy" for any potential candidate. Skillen Is reported ready to file Stevenson’s name in the Democratic primary If Kefauveris name Is filed, but he has not confirmed this. Paulconer, in protesting the decision of Craig and Emison on the question of written permission from the candidate, argued that some group might enter Eisenhower in the Democratic primary or file Craig's name as an opponent to Eisenhower. To which Governor Craig retorted: "There's no disgrace to a person whose name la filed for the presidency.” - , - - Zk 1 BEGIN SERVING (Oowtlmie* Fram Pw Ona) Neff affair, refused point-blank to testify before the Hennings subcommittee.

East German Leader Threatens Reprisal Demands West Halt Balloon Launching BERLIN (INS)—The speaker of the East German lower house of parliament threatened reprisals today against allied planes if the West does not halt its launching ot balloons. . Johannes Dlockmann made the threat in a speech before the Volkshammer in East, Berlin. « Allied planes must fly in a narrow air corridor from West Germany to West Berlin over "East German territory. A veteran western observer said Diecktaaan’s threat was "the moat aggressive statement the East German Communists have made in recent years. Any Red attempt to Interfere with allied air traffic, western sources have long believed, will result in strong allied counter-action. Western officials had feared the Reds might start some form of' attack on the vital allied air traffic to western Berlin. ■ Some of them felt the threat must be taken seriously since the new East German army is equipped with Soviet MIG jet fighters. The U.S. explained that the balloons are weather balloons, and all part of the plans for the 1957-68 international geophysical year. Youth Fatally Hurt As Auto Hits Tree VINCENNES, Ind.
