Four Klansmen face charges in Ala. slaying WASHINGTON—Four members of the Ku Klux Klan were arrested, it was announced last week-end, in Birmingham, Ala., in connection with the shooting death of Mrs. Viola Gregg Luizzo on Highway 80 between Montgomery and Selma, Ala., following the “March on Mont-
gomery.”
Speaking before television cameras in the White House, President Johnson and FBI officials identified the four Klan
members:
Eugene Thomas, 43, Bessmer, Ala., widely indicated as a member of the Klan; William Orville Easton, 41, Bessmer; Gary T. Rowe, 31, Birmingham and Collie Leroy Wilkins, Jr., 21, Fairfield, Ala., now on federal court probation. Fast moving FBI agents perhaps with inside information rounded up the four Klansmen facing charges of slaying Mrs.
Anthony Liuzzo.

Professor says urban living raises IQ of Negro children CHICAGO (NPI)—Urbanization and the cultural learning associated with life and schooling in the city—North and South—increases the IQ of rural-born Negro children. Dr. Allison Davis, reporting at a meeting of the American Home Economics Association, said there has been an increase of seven to 10 points in the IQ level of Negro children living in the North in the past 15 years. Davis said the findings indicate “the great power of schools to raise the level of achievement by Negro pupils.” He pointed out that the average IQ of the total Negro school population in Chicago is about 97. Tests made 15 to 20 years ago in Chicago and New York City showed a range of about 84 to 87.3. Davis is professor of education at the University of Chicago.

Dr. King declared that criticism of proposed economic retaliation against the State of Alabama is premature, since its details have not been worked

He also indicated that he regarded as cynical observations on the part of both Alabama and federal officials that Negro People would be hurt most by the boycott.

Scores of FBI agents took part in investigations that led to the arrest of the four mem-
bers of the Klan.
They were also supposed to be keeping a close watch on the marchers who made the fiveday, 52-mile trek from Selma to Montgomery. Federalized Alabama national guard and army troops also were supposed to be on duty, called out by
President Johnson.
About half of the national guard units were scheduled to be inactivated last Saturday night. The regular army units were scheduled to be released from duty in Alabama follow* ing an order from the VVhit<?

’ where six time bombs were , found nested 10 days ago at a Negro church, a school, two funeral homes and residences. These bombs were defused by i Army demolition experts, j A second bomb was discovered early Thursday morning planted at the home of City Councilwoman Nina Miglianico, described as a “moderate” council member. It was deactivated before it could explode. Mrs. Miglianico reportedly lives five miles from where the Crowell home is located. The bombing was the first racially suspected bombing there in about 18 months. It was followed by the 1963 bombing which resulted in the death of four Negro girls on September 15, and a series of bombing in a Negro section called “Dynamite Hill.” In other civil rights activities authorities at Camden, Ala., near Selma dispersed over 100 Negroes attempting to peacefully march in protest to racial discrimination with smoke bombs. Many of the children laid on the ground thinking that the bombs contained tear gas while others fled in terror. The youngest participants were said to be 10 years old. On other fronts Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. met with his Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) aides to make plans for a boycott of Alabama goods, and Roy Wilkins, executive secretary of the NAACP, urged brokerage firms and financial houses to help force “long overdue reforms” in Alabama by refusing to handle securities issued by that state.
GOP proposes broader voting rights measure WASHINGTON — A voting r'ghts bill now on the calendar of the U.S. House would reach areas of discrimination not now covered by the administration measure, according to Republican sponsors. The bill under a special provision would not hold limitations to states having a literacy or other tests as a qualification for registration. Nor would it operate only in states and subdivisions where less than certain percentage of j the voting age population did not register or vote on a speci- | fic date. The bill sponsored by the administration provides for the suspension of literacy test and other qualifying tests in those j states and subdivisions where less than 50 per cent of the voting age population was registered or voted in 1964. The civil service comission would be able at the request of the Attorney General to use federal registrars to register Negro people who have been disfranchised in such states. Some liberal Democrats and many Republicans have criticized the administration measure, because it would not reach areas in Tennessee, Arkansas, Texas and Florida where there is discrimination. These four states do not have literacy tests. The newly proposed Republican measure includes as follows: Whenever the Attorney General receives a specified number of allegations from any voting district in any state, regardless of whether it has a literacy test, charging that the complaints have been unable to register because of discrimination of any kind, the Attorney General, if he finds allegations meritorious, could ask the civil service commission to appoint examiners to make an investigation. When or if the examiners make a finding that the allegations are true, they can order the registration of the complainants and others who have been similarly discriminated against. The voting district can challenge the findings of the examiners, and the challenge would go to a panel of three federal judges in the circuit where the alleged discrimination took place. Pending a court ruling or any judicial delays beyond a certain period of time the examiners seemingly could continue to register other voters who in their judgement, had been kept illegally off the rolls. And if the election intervened during the process of litigation, those who had been registered would vote pro-
visionally pending a final court decision. Under the proposal of Republican sponsors the alternate measure discrimination would be defined broadly enough to encompass qualification tests, economic and physical intimidation, and possibly state and local poll taxes. Members of both Houses of Congress and sideline observers who are not happy with the administration bill, hold the same views of the new Republican proposal. However, the Republican group is working over the language of the substitute measure with the idea of having it ready in a very few weeks.
