Hobbs seeks to nullify the indictments charging him with embezzling thousands of dollars in credit union funds. The' hearing was held Thursday before Special Judge Floyd Hartzler of Fort Wayne in Noble Circuit Court. It was not completed and was resumed today. Hobbs contended he was given no opportunity td challenge the membership of the jury which indieted him.

H '""V." 1 I Gives Observations On Integration In South

Editor's Note: This is the second of two dispatches on the segregation picture in the South by Jack V. Fox, roving reporter for United Press International. By JACK V. FOX United Press International ATLANTA (UPl>— Where does the South go from here in its struggle over integration of Negroes and whites? Anyone who could answer that question successfully eould be sure right now that his statue would go up in town squares besides Jefferson Davis. Ib the past 10 days, I have talked with many Southerners in Virginia, 'Alabama and Georgia—judge*, bujflnessmezi, housewives, politician*, newspapermen, negro ministers, salesmen, teachers, filling station operators. ‘ The picture the outsider gets Is that the ' Deep South will go on fighting integration' with a series of legal maneuvers, school closings, makeshift private education and occasional violence by the extremists. These tactics are repugnant to many Southerners, but they have found no alternative. On the other hand, the'Negroes, through the NAACP and with the backing of the federal government, will press even harder ( not only on integrating schools bul also on Negro voting and an end to - discrimination in the parks, swimming pools, restaurants and other public places. Could Be Tragic It could be another tragic year of dissension, possibly even surpassing the summoning of federal troops to Little Rock* Atlanta itself has a case pending that may make Little Rock seem small potatoes, indeed. A federal court will hear early this year a suit demanding that segregarion be ended in Atlanta’s entire public school system—quite different from the token and gradual integration started in Little Rock's Central High school. It is expected the Atlanta suit will reach the U.S. Supreme Court for decision before next September’s school openings and thereby pose the biggest test the South has had yet. The nation Monday wjll get another look at how the south is going to accept forcible integration when Negroes enter white schools in - three Virginia communities. The state’s largest city, Norfolk, is the spot to watch. Winn E. Martin has a small bank in Clayton, Ala., in a heavily Negro populated area. Martin is a pleasant and articulate man whose son is getting his engineer’s degree at M.I.T. Ratio Is Crux “The numerical ratio of Negroes and whites is the crux of this whole thing,” Martin says. “That is obvious but it needs to be said over and over again. It’s a far different thing to integrate schools in a community with Negro minority and to do the same thing in one of these counties where they outnumber whites 5 to 1. “I definitely and sincerely believe the Negro has rights of equality in education and voting. But 1 just as definitely believe that in many places the Negroes are so far behind in cultural and civic understanding "that integration would have the effect of pulling the whites down to their leveL And that we cannot have. “I think integration is coming in the South. But I don’t think it is coming in my lifetime. And I

f ■ "■ ■■ doubt if it will be accomplished in my son’s lifetime." I asked the president of Tuskegee Institute, Dr. Luther Foster, whether Negroes would not turn in vengeance on whites, voting only Negroes into office and pit-' ting on economic pressures to drive the whites out if they secured full voting equality. "1 don’t think the southern whites have any reason to fear retaliation and vengeance by Negroes,” he said. “I think they will vote for the best men—and not as a. racial bloc. In the places where the Negroes have won greater equality, their conduct has been excellent** Says R. Carter Pittman, onetime head of the Georgia States Rights Council: "Racial inferiority heaped on scholastic inferiority makes a devil’s brdw that leads to penitentiaries and execution chambers —and worst of alb to a demoralized and degraded social order.” Dr. Martin Luther King, spokesman for southern Negroes, says: “Gradualism in the White South means never. The only way we will get equality for the Negro is to maintain unrelenting legal and moral pressures.” J B Matthews;- former member of the House Un-Amejicg* Activities committee: “Throughout the years, the communists have so infiltrated the NAACP that it has become a more effective organization for the Communist line than many Communist front organizations.

Seek Special Page Job For Negro Boy O'Hara Pressing For Special Job WASHINGTON (Upl) -Several congressmen were at work today trying to give substance to Negro Jimmy Johnson Jr’s. dream of becoming a House page boy. One Northern liberal — Rep. Abraham J. Multer (D-N. Y.) — said he felt the mixiflp over Jimmy could be "worked out quietly with the House leadership.” He said involvement of other congressmen in the situation might only make matters worse. But Chairman Francis E. Walter (D-Pa.l of the Democratic Patronage Committee said creation of an extra page boy post would not help Jimmy, the 14-year-old Chicago lad who came to Washington thinking he had a job and found out that he didn’t. Walter said more than a dozen congressmen other than Rep. Barrat O'Hara (D-IUJ, Jimmy’s sponsor, would have the right under House senority rules to claim any new O’Hara pressed aheacT in his attempt to rally' Northern liberal congressmen to support a resolution that would create the special job for Jimmy. The doughty Irishman vowed that he would not "stand by and see this fine boy go home with a broken heart because of a misunderstanding.” Reps. James Roosevelt (DCalif.) and Adams Clayton Powell (D-N.Y.) said they would join O’Hara in supporting the resolution. At present there are no Negro pages in either the House or Senate. O'Hara repeated his previous statements that he does not believe racial prejudice was involved in the case. But he said Jimmy should not be made to suffer for the mistakes of the House.
