Negro slaps white girl,
almost starts race riot
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
A husky Negro who slapped a
white girl’s face after their cars
hrushed bumpers was in jail in
Miami, Fla., today charged with
nearly touching off a race riot.
More than 20 carloads of police
armed with riot guns and tear
gas rushed to the scene, where
white and Negro neighborhoods
meet, to disperse a crowd of 200
persons.
Police said the 200-pound Negro,
Morgan Junior King, 25, slapped
the face of Theresa Mahoney, 19,
fought with her escort and then
tried to flee when two unidentified
white men leaped from another
car and fired two shots at him.
The white men sped off. Others
in the crowd grabbed King.

HOLLYWOOD (AP)-The enter-
tainment scene:
It was a gala opening at the Civ-
ic Light Opera season this week
for the return of Gwen Verdon,
once a dancer in the chorus. Sh^
came back as the most versatile
star of the musical theater, danc-
ing, singing and acting up a storm
in "Redhead.”
The triumph is even greater for
the Culver City, Calif., girl who
made good in the Big Town be-
cause of the vehicle. It is an old-
hat amalgam of musical comedy
techniques, but the presence of
Verdon makes the stage incan-
descent.
The Civic Light Opera once pre-
sented a yearly repertoire of four
operettas in four weeks. This
year’s season lasts six months and
all the good seats are sold out.
Other attractions: "Flower Drum
Song.” “Showboat,” "Destry
Rides Again.”
Jerry Lewis is playing to big
crowds at the Moulin Rouge these
nights and he's in good form. The
more he relaxes, the better Jerry
is, but it's a difficult thing for him
to do.
Jerry has one lapse. Even with
kids in the front row, he insists
on using risque material. There's
no reason for a comic of his tal-
ents to purvey dirty jokes, espec-
ially with tender ears nearby.
The highbrow critics will have
• A field day attacking “Pollyanna,”
but it may be Walt Disney’s • big-
gest moneymaker. It is pure ►sen-
timent without apology, but won-
derful Hayley Mills provides just
Chough tartness to cut the treacle.
The film restores a degree of hu-
man dignity to the screen.
On the other hand, take the cur-
rent “The Fugitive Kind.” Mar-
lon Brando plays a guitar-playing
bum run out of New Orleans for
taking part in a stag show. Anna
Magnani, in the role of a woman
married to a dying man, becomes
pregnant by Brando, the second
illegitimacy the character has
bad. Joanne Woodward plays a
’ eelf-admitted lewd vagrant who
alternates between chasing men
and the bottle.
' It will be interesting to see
Which film earns the most money,
“Pollyanna” or "The Fugitive
Kind.”

King was charged with inciting
a riot, reckless driving, vagrancy
and aggravated assault.
A 63-year-old white Minister
campaigning against segregation
on a Negro college campus at
Marshall, Tex., was picked up and
carried bodily to jail after he laid
down on the grass to avoid accept-
ing a warrant. He is the Rev. Ash-
ton Jones of Los Angeles who
travels the nation in a. bus on
which placards depict a white and
a black hand clasped together.
In Nashville, Tenn., Charles Ed-
ward Wright, an 18-year-old Ne-
gro, was arrested for breach of
peace on a charge by a 16-year-
old white girl that he tried to date
her. And three Negro students
at Fisk University said four over-
all-clad white men threatened
them when they sought and were
refused service at a bus terminal
lunch room.
There was no trouble in Chat-
tanooga, Tenn., where 15 Negro
students staged a brief sit-in at an
F. W. Woolworth lunch counter,
street fighting had followed Ne-
gro demonstrations there several
weeks ago.
A four-foot cross was burned on
the lawn of a Negro family’s
home in a predominantly white
Indianapolis, Ind., neighborhood.
“I was surprised. I didn’t know
what to think,” said Joseph M.
Howard of the first incident since
his family moved into the home in
January.
New Negro’protests were staged
in Columbia, S. C., while 57 demon-
strators were convicted at Rock
Hill and Orangeburg of breach of
the peace for previous demon-
strations. At Columbia, Negroes
marched through downtown stores,
presented a petition to Mayor Les-
ter Bates and staged a brief sit-
down in a library reportedly al-
ready integrated.
Some 100 student teachers of
New York’s State University Col-
iege of Education marched
through Oswego bearing signs pro-
testing segregation in the South.
The National Assn, of College
and University Chaplains, meeting
at Amherst, Mass., voted unani-
mous support for student demon-
strations "toward the achievement
of full citizenship with dignity.”
Joske’s department store in San
Antonio Tex., closed two of its
three restaurants again in the face
of new Negro attempts to be
served. A basement cafeteria was
integrated last week.
The National Council of Protes-
tant Episcopal Church rejected an
Alabama bishop’s protest against
an official church report express-
ing sympathy for Negro sit-down
demonstrations. The Rt. Rev.
Charles C. J. Carpenter, Episcopal
bishop of Alabama, had asked the
council to repudiate the report but
the council endorsed it.

Rebuttal given to indictment U.S.

NEW YORK (AP) — American
manufacturers worried by in-
creased foreign competition in
overseas markets and by a grow-
ing flow of foreign goods into the
domestic market got both hope
and advice today.
Traffic law
'disrespect'
ups crime
Work/s—
HAL BOYLE SAYST
Suspicious dog-lover finally won
over by cats--like most Americans
AUSTIN (AP)—Disrespect f
traffic laws is responsible to a
large extent for the rise in Texas
crime, Brad Smith, assistant to
the governor on traffic safety,
said at the annual Traffic Courts
Conference Thursday.
“When people think they can
thumb their noses at the law on
little things, it is one small step
further to begin to thumb their
noses at the law on bigger things,
like burglary, assaults on police
officers and other crimes," Smith
said.
“If a man is driving while in-
toxicated, let’s charge him with
that and let’s prosecute him for
that. Let’s stop this business of
reducing the charge to "drinking
in an autorfrbbile” or “drunk in a
public place’ or just plain ‘drunk.’
It is legal to drink in Texas but
it is not legal to drink and drive,”
Smith said.
The conference ends Saturday.
The hope comes from U.S. De-
partment of Commerce figures
confirming the recent spurt in ex-
■ ports—even though' imports are
rising, too—and from official pre-
dictions that foreign barriers to
U.S. goods will be lowered still
further.
The advice comes from several
private sources pointing out how
Americans can upgrade their com-
petitive tactics and regain old
markets and create new ones.
They add up to a rebuttal of the
often-heard indictment that Amer-
icans are being priced out of
world and domestic markets. That
isn’t necessarily so, a sizable num-
ber of world trade observers tell
us.
They show why Americans often
have found themselves outsold
abroad for reasons other than
price. They urge that some
changes be made in our old sales,
distribution, and prdduction meth-
ods to fit them into the new world
trade situation.
The official figures show that in
the first three months of this year
commercial exports topped the
year-ago totals by 21 per cent.
Early estimates on imports put
them 10 to 15 per cent ahead. The
spurt in exports was helped by
large sales abroad by our govern-
ment of cotton—at prices lower
than at home—and by the revival
of steel production after the strike.
Whether the gains will continue
is doubtful, but it does eaee by
that much the threat to our gold
reserve, pulled down when the btl-
ance of trade was running strong-
ly against us.
But some things Americans
could do to increase their over-
seas trade are being set forth.
Advantages which they have and
should push harder are set forth
by Richard P. Miller, internation-
al economic director of Wolf
Management Engineering Co. of
Chicago. These include faster de-
livery, better reorder handling,
often higher quality products, and
generally better quality control.
Two advantages that foreigners
have pushed could be overcome,
he says. These are foreign manu-
facturers’ refusal to take small
orders so that they can operate
in quantity and therefore cheaper,
and delays by some American
companies in putting in new ma-
chinery and new manufacturing
techniques which the postwar fac-
tories of Western Europe and
Japan have.
Miller thinks Americans take
too many small orders and force
up prices. He says that those
American companies that have
equalled these foreign tolls have
been able to overwhelm foreign
competition. A special tool is in-
creased product research and au-
tomation.
By HAL BOYLE
NEW YORK (AP) — When a
man’s wrong, he might as well
admit it.
And I can’t think of a better
time than the eve of National Be-
Kind-toAnimals Week to confess
that all my life I have been wrong
about cats.
When it comes to pets, most
folks divide into “dog people” and
"cat people.” If they keep a dog,
Ihey usually don’t keep a cat—and
don’t like cats. If they keep a cat,
they usually d<m’t keep a dog—
and don’t like dogs.
It is only human to be sus-
picious of anything we don’t know
well. And that probably explains
why in the past most Americans
have preferred dogs and been dis-
trustful of cats.
That’s the way I felt until Lady
Dottie joined our household as a
kitten a year and a half ago. She
was black and white and had a
black dot on the tip of the nose.
Strictly alley cat. No more, no
less.
As a life-long dog lover, I would
have bet Lady Dottie wouldn't
last out the month in our home.
But now she owns us and every-
thing in it.
At first I would have nothing
to do with her, and she showed
an equal lack of ardor toward me.
As we got more used to each
other, however, I learned a basie
difference between dogs and cats.
A dog tends to be everybody’s
pal; he wants the world to like
him. But a cat selects her csvn
society, and doesn’t worry about
public opinion.
Our cat has at least two distinct
personalities. By day she is a
sleek, plush-footed Grover Whal-
en, greeting visitors with all the
dignity and calm of an ancient
Chinese mandarin.
But at night she roams the
house like a dozen clumsy bur-
glars, pushing over wastebaskets,
tumbling books from the shelves,
knocking expensive table lamps to
the floor. The furniture she breaks
costs more than the food she eats.
The charge that cats, unlike
dogs, don’t have a sense of grati-
tude isn’t really true. Lady Dottie
knows how to say “thank you.
She just doesn’t believe it’s neces-
sary to shewt her gratitude out
loud—as a dog does.
Just when I quit disliking Lady
Dottie and became her servant I
don’t know. Cats have an invisible
way of inflicting their sense of
'ownership over you.
~ And sooner or later they’ll prob-
ably own the country. They are

WASHINGTON (AP) — The
American people are being pre-
pared not to expect much more
from the Paris summit meeting
May 16 than a pleasant get-togeth-
er between the West and the So-
viet Union.
Is anything going to be solved
there? Probably not.
President Eisenhower Wednes-
day and French President Charles
de Gaulle last week played down
the idea of solutions and played
up the hope the summit would
produce better relations with the
Soviets.
A great deal of time, a number
of meetings, and a lot of visiting
back and forth by heads of state
and their foreign ministers have
gone into the preparations of the
Western Allies for the Paris con-
ference.
What they seem to lack is new
ideas. What they seem to have is
rigidity. If all that the statesmen
and diplomats have said — in
speeches, statements and com-
muniques—could be wrapped into
one tight bundle this would be It:
They are determined to stand
solidly together in resisting Soviet
demands; they haven’t talked of
making demands of their own.
At his news conference Wednes-
day Eisenhower was asked about
his hopes for the summit session
with De Gaulle’, Soviet Premier
Nikita Khrushchev, and British
Prime Minister Harold Macmil-
lan.
"I think the most we can hope
for, at this time,” he said, "is
ease of tensions, so some evidence
that we are coming closer togeth-
er — sufficiently so that people
have a right to feel a little bit
more confident in the world in
which Ihey are living and
its stability.
"Now, how this might come
about I dcsi’t know. There is, of
course, the subject of ceasing of
tests, and with a controlled sys-
tem for that, for developing some
step in disarmament, and for
greater contacts, particularly cul-
tural contacts. I think that there
are a number cA ways in which
this might begin. And that’s about
all you can say.”
This was pretty much on echo
of what De Gaulle had said re-
peatedly at different places on his
visit to Washington last week.
He told a National Press Club
luncheon that the matter of rela-
tions between East and West is
the queMion with which the sum-
mit cc*n$rence “primarily must
grapple.”
He said this would create the
atmosphere for handling other
problems like disarmament, Ger-
many, and aid for underdeveloped
countries. He said solutions for
them "at the moment are impos-
sible.”
He said “what is paramount”
is to begin the easing of relations
between the Soviet Union and the
Western Allies.
It takes four to dance to this
tune and since Khrushchev is the
fourth member of the quartet,
everything depends on whether he
is in the mood for dancing.
The last time he was heard
from—over the weekend in Baku
—he sounded like a n«n in a
very foul mood, indeed. He
seemed to be threatening the
West, like this: You’d better talk
business at Paris, or else.
Eisenhower Wednesday declined
to take Khrushchev’s weekend bel-
ligerency very seriously. "It’s just
more of the same,” Eisenhower
said. He pointed out Khrushchev
knew Eisenhower wouldn’t go to
the summit at all under a threat.
But Douglas Dillon, undersec-
retary of state, last week made
a speech which sounded fiery from
the American side. If you read
Dillon's fine print, however, you’d
notice the blaze he created wasn’t
much more than match burning.

OSTRICH EGGS
QUESTION: Can a person eat an ostrich egg at one
sitting?
* * *
ANSWER: The ostrich, a strange-lookingfellow, is the largest
living bird. Full grown, it stands seven to eight feet high and
weighs 200 to 300 pounds. The ostrich has excellent eyes and
can run very fast - up to 60 miles an hour. To defend itself,
the ostrich kicks forward with its long, thick legs which are so
powerful that the blow can disable ahorse.Because of its size,
the bird lays a very large egg. An ostrich egg weighs about
three pounds, or about as much as two to three dozen hen's
eggs. K would take a very hungry person to eat all thatl African
natives like to eat the eggs but they are hard to get because the
ostrich is such s powerful fighter.
• • •
FOR YOU TO DO: During your next visit to the zoo, look for
foe ostrich. If you have an opportunity, ask a zoo keeper tf he
has any ostrich eggs he can show you.
