Sit-In, Hunger Strike On By Civil Righters By United Press International Civil rights demonstrators, seeking passage of a public accommodations bill, began a sitin and hunger strike Monday in the gallery of the Kentucky House of Representatives. The 17 Negroes and six whites settled back in their seats after the House adjourned Monday night and vowed, “we’re here to stay.” They said they would sip water but not eat during the sit-in. —* — Demonstration leader Frank Stanley Jr., said his group would not leave the Capitol at Frankfort, Ky.‘, “until this issue is settled in away that will enable Kentucky to hold her head erect in the court of world opinion.” With the demonstrators watching Monday, the Kentucky House by a 35-4 vote refused to call the public accommodations bill, outlawing segregation in all public places, out of a committee for a floor vote. In New York City Monday, 276,459 students boycotted the nation’s largest school system for the second time in six weeks in a protest against de facto segregation. Boycott leaders called the protest, about half as effective as the Feb. 3 demonstration, a victory. School leaders called it a failure, stating that normal absenteeism among the city’s one million students runs about 100,000 daily. Elsewhere in the nation: New York: Negro leader Malcolm X accused police Commissioner” Michael Murphy of encouraging police to abuse Negroes and warned such action could lead to a Harlem race war. Milwaukee, Wis.: Alabama Gov. George Wallace began his campaign Monday night in the Wisconsin presidential primary, reiterating his stand against the civil rights bill and for “constitutional local self-gov-ernment.” Raleigh, N.C.: Gov. Terry Sanford reported Monday Negro college students had organized a committee to “sweek responsible public forums” instead of street demonstrations to present their views on segregation. Xenia, Ohio: Individual hearings were started late Monday for the 74 demonstrators still in custody because they protested a barber’s refusal to cut the hair of Negroes.

Senate Probe In Baker Case Is In Recess WASHINGTON (UPD—Chairman B. Everett Jordan, DN.C., today abruptly recessed the Senate’s Bobby. Baker inquiry thus once again delaying a final decision on whether the exhaustive investigation will be halted. Jordan recessed what had been billed as another Demo-cratic-Republican show down today on the question of ending the inquiry in order to draft a reply to a GOP charge that the investigation has been turned into a whitewash. Sen. Hugh Scott, R-Pa., told newsmen that Jordan’s action came while he was asking a relevant question of Lennox P. McClendon, chief counsel for the committee in its investigation of the outside business interests of Baker, former secretary to Senate Democrats. McClendon has recommended that the committee proceed to drafting of remedial legislation to deal with conflict of interest questions raised by Baker’s activities while a key Senate aide. Republicans on the committee want to call more witnesses and Scott and Sen. Carl. T. Curtis, R-Neb., took the Senate floor Monday to protest what Curtis called a “whitewash.” Today’s meeting lasted only about 40 minutes. Jordan emerged and read a short statement . which he said he had made to the committee. He noted “some very serious accusations” had been made, challenging the committee’s integrity and his integrity as chairman. This was obvious reference to the GOP statements. The Jordan statement said he was recessing the committee hearings to consider “further action.” He said later that he expects no further action today. Scott then told newsmen that the recess was called while he was questioning McLendon. Asked if he considered himself “gagged”, Scott replied : “I was certainly stopped.” Finger-Martced Furniture Finger marks on furniture can be easily removed with a cloth saturated in olive When applying wax polish, use just as little as possible, and rub until the surface is free of film.

App, manager of the Fort Wayne office, said today. The report was slightly lower than the 77 reported the previous week, and the 109 reported a year ago for the same week. Unemployment in Adams county has been in a general decline for three years, according to the unemployment compensation claims, which cover approximately -50% of the local work force. Asks Pay Hike For Government Workers WASHINGTON (UPD—President Johnson today urged Congress to give government workers a pay raise—even if it doesn’t vote itself a salary boost. In a letter to Speaker John W. McCormack, Johnson said if the House’s rejection last week of a $545 million federal pay bill is allowed to stand, it would deprive two million federal workers “of fair and reasonable pay adjustments.” Johnson said it also would “make it tough to recruit top flight men and Women, and impair my efforts to achieve true economy in government.” The House, in a surprise move, voted down the pay bill last week because of apparent fear of retaliation by voters to raising their own and senators’ salaries by SIO,OO. Other federal workers pay raises went down the same drain.

Fashion Now Moves To Political Field By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor DALLAS, Tex. (UPI) — Fashion even has gotten into politics. Name your political party and pick the dress that spells your preference. The Texas Fashion Creators Association which today opened its 14th spring ‘press week” for visiting reporters included a “party” dress ,nade <ff cotton ticking with huge patch pockets. On the pocket: a choice of the two major political party symbols, donkey or elephant applique. Twenty-eight members of the association representing this Southwestern fashion market

planned showings during the “week” which actually ends Wednesday. Bright Roosters For those independent voters, the stylists used appliques of non-political significance. Bright roosters crowed from the pocket of play ensembles, sun dresses and culottes, and a cactus in the sun was appliqued on a nonpartisan patio dress. Texas - made clothes, sold throughout the nation, lean to the informal sports and leisure wear, although there are manufacturers of suits, town dresses, jewelry, hats, and ball gowns. This spring and summer the range will be from the country to the feminine to the nautical look. Sun dresses of provincial prints trimmed with rickrack and culottes of chambray denim were part of the • country

Must Still Prove Properly Tax Paid INDIANAPOLIS (UPI)- Hoosiers who apply for auto license plates still will be required to prove that property taxes have been paid, despite a court ruling to the contrary. That warning came from Indiana Motor Vehicles Commissioner Allen Nutting, following a Marion County municipal court ruling holding that a 1961 law requiring motorists to show proof of property tax payment to get their plates was unconstitutional. “The ruling may have left the applicant for a license off the hook in Marion County but it didn't lift the responsibility from the bureau manager to require proof,” Nutting said. “He could go to jail for not requiring such proof.” Marion County Prosecutor Noble Pearcy said he plans an appeal from the ruling by Judge John C. Christ. Nutting and Pearcy both noted the judge’s ruling did not affect another law, which was an amendment of a 1931 statute, making the license manager subject to a misdemeanor charge if he does not require proof of taxes being paid. Christ said the law discriminates against the car-owner in comparison with the non-car owner and that the law is a “poorly worded, depth - lacking piece of legislature.” “There Is no correlation between driving an automobile and paying personal property taxes,” Christ said. He made the ruling in ordering freedom for Elree Gilbert, Indianapolis, from a charge that he obtained license plates without producing evidence that his taxes on his car were paid. Hie case was the first of 10 before Christ. The judge indicated charges would be dismissed against the other nine on March 31 unless the Supreme Court intervenes.
