"Black Power" Leader Jailed ATLANTA UPI — Stokely Carmichael, the controversial “black power” leader of the gtudent Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), was jailed Thursday night on a charge of inciting a riot of 1,000 Negroes in a slum district Held on S10.500 bond, Carmichael was to appear in municipal court today for a preliminary hearing. He also was charged with creating a dis-
turbance.
Officials had said earlier they considered, but rejected, the possibility of bringing insurrection charges against Carmichael. Insurrection is punishable by death in Georgia. Inciting a riot is a misdemeanor carrying a maximum penalty of one year s imprisonment upon conviction. Mayor Ivan Allen Jr. had accused Carmichael and SNCC of instigating the riot Tuesday by hiring a sound truck that broadcast a distorted version of the wounding of a Negro car thief suspect by police. More than 15 persons were injured and 72 others arrested in the melee that police broke up with tear gas and warning shots. Two of Carmichael's aides, Bill Ware, St. Paul. Minn., and
Be* Walton, w&r* efcargwd Wednesday with inciting a riot. Police said they were operating
the sound truck.
Carmichael went from door to door in the riot area, known as Summerhill, Thursday, telling residents he was not responsible for the incident. Ten policemen followed the SNCC leader, who boasted he was “not afraid of any white man or any white policeman.” About 50 Negroes in Vie City, one of Atlanta’s worst slum areas, circulated a petition “deploring” the riot and demanding that SNCC remove its subheadquarters from the area. The headquarters, a tent on a vacant lot, was burned down Wednesday night but was replaced by SNCC Thursday.

Ralph E. Samuel A Co., says it believes the market now is probably in for a rest period with the absence of sharp declines or vigorous advances.
Stanley Heller & Co., says the overall picture for next year,! exclusive of any sudden international monetary critics, will be that of leveling off of the economy on a high plateau. In this regard, the firm says, the market may already have discounted much of the uncertainty! which lies ahead.

What Indiana company is spending $39,000,000 in one year just to expand service?
We are. General Telephone. During 1966. But, that’s not too unusual for us. Last year we spent $29 million. Year before that, $18 million. Next year will probably set a new all-time high. Progress we call it. Another thing. We just borrowed $20,000,000 to help finance this program. This is not unusual either. Last year we borrowed $15 million. What is unusual is the 6% interest we have to pay — 25% more than last year. Just for fun, figure out one year’s interest on $20,000,000 at 6%. (Answer: $1,200,000.) So, inflation does affect the cost of telephone service, too. Why spend this kind of money? Simple. Indiana’s growing. We’re growing. Service Js improving. Exciting new service improvements are coming. We give your telephone a lot of thought, you know. That’s why you needn’t TELEPHONE W A Member of theGT&€ FomOy of Companies
