Negroes Warned
Not to Violate
Segregation Laws
Birmingham, Ala., Apr. 4 (AP) — Commission-
er Eugene Connor says he will fill the jail with Neg-
roes if they violate segregation la\ys in Birmingham.
That was Connor’s reaction to an announcement by
Negro leaders that they have started a massive non-
violent campaign to erase racial harriers in Birming-
ham. Connor, who directs the’
police department, put the bur-
den on city merchants. H$ said:
“If the merchants don’t eo-

courthouse, insisting they

voter registration purposes.
operate with police, we can not
move Negro sit-i n n e r s from
. the buildings. Of the five places
they w e n t in yesterday, one
store—Britts—cooperated with
police. Therefore we had to let
them sit-in the other stores,
which is a disgrace.”
« Twenty-one Negroes were
arrested in Britts on charges of
tresspass after warning.
C o n n o r was defeated for
mayor by Albert Boutwell
Tuesday in a runoff election.
In his comment today, Con-,
nor referred to a statement by
Reverend Martin Luther King,
Jr., that he’ll remain in Birm-
ingham until the city is inte-
grated. Connor declared:
“I don’t kho.vv .how long I
will be here. But King can rest
assured that as long as I am
here he better tell his crowd
not violate any laws.”
A similar warning has been
issued by Mayor-elect Boutwell.
Boutwell says racial agitators
have undertaken to embarrass man j,as sajd j,e expects quick
both the present and the in-i congressional approval for the
coming city governments by improvement,
sit-in demonstrations.
Another group of Negroes
tried to stage a voter registra-
tion march" oh the Greenwood,
Miss., courthouse today. But
the group of 38 turned back
five blocks short of their gopl
after police took photos of
them at the end of each block.
There was talk of another
march later today.
Negro comedian Dick Greg-
ory was one of the leaders of
the group. He sadi he turned
back because he could not ac-
cept responsibility for harass-
ment. Gregory* said he would
ask the marchers if they were
willing to accept harrassment
because of the pictures. And
he said he planned another
walk later today.
Meanwhile, the Justice De-
partment and Greenwood offi-
ciasl reached at least a tempo-
rary truce today in case grow-
ing out of the Negro voter reg-
istration drive at Greenwood.
The government withdrew its
request for a temporary re-
straining order against Green-
wood officials. And the offi-i
eials. And the officials agreed

Remained in the reservoir
Wednesday. The city’s water
supply was larger than that,
however, because of water held
in Lake Coleman at the water
treatment plant.
Officials estimate that White
Oak Reservoir can be filled
again in about 9 or 10 days.
When the reservoir is at full
pool it takes 60 days to pump
the water to Lake Coleman.
With one water problem ap-
parently past, city officials still
are casting an occasional anx-
ious eye at passing clouds as
the prolonged dry spell in the
area deepens.

“But should spring continue
to move along without much
rain, more and more people will
be watering lawns and shrubs.
A continued dry spell could
bring about the possibility of
the enforcement of limitations
on watering lawns and wash-
ing cars.”
The problem remains that ©f
equipment limitations rather
than water supply, Riehn said.
The city’s supply system in-
cludes the pumping of water
from White Oak Reservoir into
Lake Coleman. Equipment in
use limits the amount of wa-
ter that c§n be pumped in a
24-hour period to 1,200,000
gallons.
Consumption Up
Water consumption in the
city during March ran about
960,000 gallons a day, a figure
well over previous “cool weath-
er” month usages.
