Fragile Peace In

Cambridge, Md.

CAMBRIDGE. Md. (AP) A fragile peace enforced by NaUoa-al Guardsmen with fixed bayonets settled on this racially scarred community today as Negro leaders planned the next move In their Integration campaign.

Militia law -> and 400 guardsmen backing It up were re-Imposed after six persons were wounded Thursday night and early Friday in the sectmd major outbreak of shootings here in a month.

Gov. J. MUlard Tawes. turning aside integrati(mist requests for a wecial session ol the l^ilslature to cope with racial problems, but acknowledging the Inability of local police to keep the Cambridge powderkeg from exploding, ordered the guard back Into town after a four-day absence.

It had been withdrawn last M<-day after a 25-day stay resulting from a series of shootings and tore burnings.

There was no violence Friday night as the guard clamped on a series of restrictions just short of martial law, which is forbidden by the state constltutlwi.

Businesses closed at 7 p.m.

By 10 p,m. an hour after the guard-imposed curfew streets were deserted.

Liquor, beer and wine sales were suspended in the city and surrounding Dopchester County.

Main approaches to the town were sealed off. Only persons with (Urgent business were allowed to enter.

Automobiles were subjected to search for firearms at checkpoints.

The ban on demonstrations applied to whites as well as Negroes.

In a test of the ban Friday night, peace-keepers prevailed.

About 250 Negroes and some white sympathizers began a march on the courthouse. Besides their m(mths-long protest against segregated schools and public accommodations, they had a new grievancethe refusal of the state court of appeals a few hours earlier to release two 15-year-old demonstrators sentenced to reformatories as juvenile delinquents.

Such marches had become a daily routine before the June violence and had been resumed last Monday. Tension had mounted since then. White crowds gathering to watch -the demonstrators or heckle them had grown larger daily. About 1,000 were there before Thursday nights outbreak.

Friday night, before the marchers had covered one of the seven blocks along the parade route from their church meeting place in the Negro section to the courthouse, they were halted dramatically by Brig. Gen. GeGorge M. G ston, commander of the guard units.

Unarmed and leaving a detachment of his men behind, he

slowly walked up the middle of the street toward the marchers a block and a half away. As he met the column of demonstrators, be held up both hands.

The National Guaxd ' was brought here to protect all the people, he said. If you violate the prohibition against demon-stratiOTS, you are demwistrating agabist the orders of the governor of the state.

Dropping to sitting positions In the middle of the street, the In-tegrationists turned to song Black and Whites Together and We are Strildiers in the Army. Led by the Rev. Charles Bourne, they also prayed.

Gelston removed his hlny-vl-sored cap until the end of the prayer.

He then requested that the marchers return to the church. They turned and headed back up the street.

A few hours earlier, while most of his men were still oa the citys outskirts. Gelston intercepted about 40 demonstrators headed for a segregated drug store.

Gelston told the demonstrators to disperse. When they challenged his authority, he sent an aide to armory headquarters for a copy of his orders from the governor.

They were brought after a brief wait, during which the demonstrators sat on the sidewalk and sang We Shall Overcome.

G^ton read the orders and, at the' request of a demonstrator, read the milita law, explaining it would remain in effect until my governor orders it lifted.

In turning down pleas for a special legislative session, the governor said there was little chance that such a move would achieve the effect desired by integratlwi-istsexpansion of Marylands new antl-segregati(Hi law. Tt covers Baltimore and 11 of the states 23 counties, but not Dorchester County.

Legislative leaders had indicated to him a belief that the present law could be jeopardized in such a session, the governor said.

Segregationists in Cambridge about one-third of whose 12,200 residents are Negro circulated a petition calling for a referendum on a new town charter amendment which, effective Aug. 19, would ban segregatic in public places.

Integrationists fear that the amendment would be defeated wi a public vote. They urged the town council to pass instead an antisegregation ordinance, which, unlike the charter amendment, would be effective Immediately and not subject to a petition for referendum.

ON BOOKS, AGED 104 KINSTON, N. C. (AP) Police arrested a man wi a street here at 2:45 a.m. today and charged him with public drunkenness.

He gave his age as 104, and thats what the police record shows.

Plan Final Search

With $2.5 Million-plus Budget

By HENRY HOWARD Reflector Staff Writer

County Commissioners boosted Pitt Countys tax rate by 10 cents Friday night in approving a budget for fiscal 1963-64 which calls for s[>endlng slightly more than $2.5 million.

In raising the tax rate from Its two-year level of $1.25 to the new figure, $1.35 per $100 valuation, the commissioners left undisturbed surplus funds of about $371,-000 set aside for a county building program which the commissioners agree is an inevitable near-future county

must.

The 10-cent Increase in the tax rate is the first sizable boost in county-wide taxes In Pitt since the Commissioners moved from a rate of $1.08 in 1958 to $1.23 for 1959. Commissioners held the $1.23 rate for two years, then liighed ahead to $1.25 for a two-yeaMieriod.

Fridays resoluti/n enacted the second consecumve Pitt budget to exceed $2 \pillion. The resolution adopted last July authorized $2,406,095 for county expense during 1962-63.

The new tax rate, applied to a disappointing valuation figure of just under $90 million, is ex

pected to bring in about $1,091,-400. Ad valorem estimates are based on actual collection of 90 per cent of the total levy.

Commissioners, in drafting a balanced budget this year, were faced with the expected normal growth of county-supported operations. In addition, there were new expense items.

But the rise in the county-wide property valuation figure was not a rapid as officials had expected. The figure rose from $88.1 million to about $89.8 million. In the previous year, the valuation climbed from $85.3 million to the $88.1 million which provided the ad valorem tax base for 1962-63.

Sources Qf revenue other than property taxes include ABC

earnings; Interest, fines and miscellaneous revenue; licenses, prior year taxes, intangible taxes, beer and wUie tax, poll and dog taxes; departmental revenue; and state and federal funds.

The tax rate enacted last night will be used by the tax department in calculating tax bills to be mailed to Pitt property owners within several weeks.

As usual, the largest share of approprlaticms goes to operation and improvement of the county schools. A total appropriation of about $1,140,(NM) in the county-wide school fund for current expense and capital improvement includes about $307,-000 in bond funds earmarked for

paying construction costs of the Pitt Industrial Education

Center.

School funds, not including the Pitt lEC, are broken down like this; $601,482 for current expense, about $190,000 for capital ouUay, $29,305 for debt retirement. and $12,365 for the local share of lEC operation. The states share In the new centers operation this year is $258,600.

School appropriations for fiscal 1962-63 amounted to about $775,500.

Second largest budget item, also a normal pattern, was the appropriation of $473,482 for the General Fund, That fund, which operates various county agencies,

got $447,528 last year.

Othor departmental appropriations authorized last night (with last year's figures In parentheses)

were:

RcvaluaUon, $26,800 ($17.480); Hospital Levy, $45,225 ($43.863): Industrial Development, $27,000 ($24,603); County Home. $38,906 ($3i,930); Outside Poor and Relief. $66.760 <$64,155); Welfare, including administration, Aid to Blind. Aid to Families of Dependent ChUdrea, Aid to Permanently and Totally Disabled, Old Age Assistance, $370.721 ($255,173):

Health Department, $141,71S ($139.304); Mental Health Clinle, $65,665 ($54824); Dog Fund,

,$16,710 ($17,388); Debt Bervlce, $149,997 ($159.965).

Of Mine For Boys

PITTSBURGH (AP) Officials planned one final probe into an old abandoned mine today in the search for three boys missing since Thursday.

They announced their decision after a six-man rescue team emerged from the mine earlier today and reported they had discovered no clues that would help them determine whether the teenagers are in the suburban Castle Shannon mine.

Everett Turner, a U.S. Bureau of Mines Inspector, said exploration into the last area should take about eight hours. Once this is accomplished, he said, officials will have been satisfied that the mine was searched thoroughly.

Then well have to say theyre not there, he added.

Turner said a large pressure

fan was to be used to clear deadly black damp gas from the area. The gas forced workers out of the mine for a while Friday night.

Work On Post Office Set Soon

However, they resumed the search after fans cleared the air. After about two hours, they quit for the night.

Only theories exist as to the whereabouts of the boysRobert Abbott, 15, and Danny OKain an Billy Burke, both 13.

Their families feel they are in the mine, closed since 1938. Somej local officials, though, guess the trio have left Pittsburgh, possibly on a freight train. They say the boys possibly either became frightened when they heard about the search and are afraid to return home, or else they axe off on an adventure.

Determined No Fall Due Tarts

LONDON (AP) I wdu% determined that no British government should be brought down by the action of two tarts, Prime Minister Macmillan told the daily express in an Interview Friday.

He appeared to be trying to shake off the aftemiath of the scandal involving party girl Christine Keeler and his former war mHter John Frofnino. ri>e other girl referred to would be Christines friend, Mandy Rlc Davies, who also figured in the scandal. Macmillans remark seemed to push further into the background prospects that he would resign soon. I had to see this through.

Key Defector- To Kill, Or Abduct

LONDON (AP) - Soviet agents are searching Britain with orders to kill or kidnap master spy Ano-toli Dolnytsin, who defected to the West 18 mraiths ago, British newspapers said today.

The Daily Express said an attempt already may have bepn made on the defectors life.

Dolnytsin brought with him Soviet military secrets and details of spy networks and undercover agents working for the Soviet Union. He is understood to have provided British counter-intelligence agents with a list of people in Britain who may be or could be soviet agents.

Dolyntsln is in hiding, under guard, being groomed for a new Idmitity. It is considered vital that he should be unrecognizable to the Soviet agents who for months to come are sure to press an Intensive manhunt.

Dolnytsins defection Is believed to have dealt a severe blow to Soviet Intelligence services. The Soviets will want him eliminated for revenge and as a warning to others. Informants noted.

Plastic surgery may be used to give Dolnytsin a new face as it did for many British secret agents during World War n. Then he would be unrecognizable even to those who knew him during the eight mwiths or so he lived In London while on a tour <rf duty here.

Most British papers Ignored the' request by the defense ministry not to publish the name of the defector.

The request was issued .after a newspaper inquired at the de

fense ministry about reports that a senior Soviet intelligence officer had defected.

The ministry gave his name and implied the defectitm had occurred quite recently, It requested that this information should not be published as the mans life was in danger.

A later noce said that somft infonnatioo could be published but asked that the name be withheld. Early today the Daily Telegraph published Dolnytsins name.

It generally is believed that Dolnytsin defected while serving in a Soviet satellite country after first contacting the U.S. embassy in an allied country. One report said he defected in a town in North America,

For about a year Dolnytsin was quizzed by the Central Intelligence

Heavy Tobacco

Loss From Fire

WINTERVILLE Fires destroyed some $8,(X)0 of tobacco being cured by farmers in the rural Winterville area yesterday.

The losses were the first reported due to tobacco bam fires this season.

Fire Chief Lloyd Worthington of Winterville said two tobacco bams full of tobacco and a connecting shelter 100 feet long burned about 3:30 a.m. yesterday at a farm operated by Mark Pilgreen on the Tar Road. Dr, Mark T. Frizzelle is owner of the farm.

The fire went unnoticed until both bams had caved in, Worth-ingtCMi said. Cause of the fire is undetermined. Losses were estimated at $6,000.

A third bam of tobacco located on a farm owned by Marvin Stephenson, Negro, burned about 3 p.m. yesterday causing a loss of about $2,000. Stephensons farm is located near Coxs MUl.

Worthington said the bam had nearly collapsed when firemen arrilved.

Says Khrushchev Wants Test-Ban

PARIS (AP) Soviet Premier Khrushchev sincerely wants a nuclear test ban pact, Belgian Foreign Minister Paul-Henrl Spaak believes.

Informed sources quoted Spaak to that effect Friday after he briefed North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) officials on his talks with Khmshchev in Kiev last week.

U.S., British and Soviet negotiators open test ban talks in Moscow Monday.

Avoid Involving Cuban Mission

UNITED NATIONS. N.Y. (AP) The United States will not interfere with the financial operations erf the Cuban mission to the United NatUms, a U.S. sptAesanan saya.

He was replying Friday to s <?uban complaint that the U.S. de-cLsion to freeze Cuban assets in this country would choke off funds needed to operis Cubas miiwloiL

Agency in the United States. After he requested asylum in Britain, he was flown here and interrogated.

Dolnytsin is credited with providing information that led to the exposure of William John Vassal, the homosexual spy in the British Admiralty.

He Is reported to have given countre-intelligence against information tlit pointed to Harold Philby as the man who tipped off turncoat British diplomats Guy Burgess and Donald Maclean that they were about to be arrested. Burgess and Maclean fled to Soviet Russia.

In January, Philby disappeared. He is believed to be behind the iron curtain.

A month after Dolnytsin defected, an engineering member of a Soviet trade delegatiwi in West

Germany was named by the Germans as a Soviet agent in February 1962.

The following month, the West German Interior Ministry announced that five Communist spy rings had been broken up In the last eight weeks.

No hint was given of the source , which led to these^dlscoveriea. But there seems little doubt Dolnytsin played a key role.

Since then there has been an international spy purge and a number of Soviet agents and spy networks have been uncovered.

In May, the Federal Bureau of Investigation estimated that 300 Soviet agents had been recalled to Moscow.

Dolnjrtsin brought with him Soviet military secrets and details of etc.

Increasing Signs Railroad

Issue To Need Legislation

WASHINTGON (AP) - Presl dent Kennedys blue ribbon rails

panel has drawn up a busy work schedule for next week amid increasing signs that legislatim is the only way to avert a natiwi-wide strike.

The six-man committee, which spent Thursday and Friday getting organized, gave no definite sign today that any of its individual members may step in as mediator In another try at ironing out the four-year-old dispute over new work rules.

The members were not selected for a mediation functiim, the chairman. Secretary of Labor W. Willard Wirte, has pointed out.

The function Is primarily factfinding to help the President draw up legislation to be recommended to Congress by July 22, Wirtz has emphasized.

A government official made it clear that with the carriers and the five operating unl(His as adamant as they are, there seems to be little hope for any settlement other than through legisla-tiMl.

The committee will pursue Its task under the strike truce arranged by President Kennedy

Wednesday. Under that agreement the carriers have postponed until July 29 putting Into effect new woric rules designed to eliminate gradually upwards of 60,000 jobs and the unimis have said they will delay strike action until that date.

The committee has taken a weekend break, leaving half-dozen Labor and Commerce Department specialists to iron out operational procedures.

The panel will resume sessims Monday with representatives of the carriers and the unions summoned for quizzing on any issues that may arise.

Tuesday, a similar sessicm will be heldfirst with all concerned taking part, then the ccnnmittee meeting with each side separately.

Asst. Secretary of Labor James J. Reynolds said thsd; Wednesday the committee will begin preparing its report to the President. Reynolds said it is h(H)ed that the job will be finished by Friday, three days in advance of Kennedys deadline for the fact-finding job.

The administration has avoided

giving any hint of what Kennedys recommendations will be, but some sources have indicated the remedy will Involve some form of arbitration.

If it is arbitration the onus for eliminating rail jot thus would be t^en off unimi leaders, who could place the responsibility <m Congress. The unions have said repeatedly they oppose any form of compulsory arbitration.

George Meany, APL-CIO president and a member of the committee, who earlier had made certain with Wirtz that individual members would be permitted to mediate oa their own should the opportunity arise, had nothing to say on the issue Friday.

Stuart Saunders, board chairman of the Norfolk & Western Railway, said he would have nothing to say at this time on whether he would attempt any settlement on his own.

Joseph Block, board chairman of Inland Steel Co. of Chicago; George M. Harrison, chief executive of the AFLrCIO Brotherhood of Railway Qerks, and Secretary of Cwnmerce Luther H. Hodges are the other members.

Talk Flop,

Says China

MOSCOW (AP) Th# deadlocked Sovlet-Chlncse untty talks labeled a flop by Peking, continued today, But they wwe expected to end before Monday, clearing te way for new Eskt-West efforts to reach ft nucleftr test ban.

The Chinese drove to the conference sit, a villa in the Lenin Hills overlooking Moscow, shortly before 2 p.m. (6 a.m. EST) after spending the morning ftt the Chinese embassy.

Red China broke the weck-lonf official silence surrounding the ideological peace talks. Friday, acknowledging with hearts that attempt to heal the widening breach between Communisms giants have failed.

Then, in an apparent attempt to avoid charget of rupturing the talks, Peking held the door (rf>en for further negoUations at another time.

We want unity, not a the official Peking People's Daily said in an editorial broadcast by the New China News Agency, monitored in Tokyo. It added. The present situatl(xi is very grave.

Peking said it had hoped rela-ticms with Moscow would be eased by the talks but we now have to pohit out with heavy heart# that events have gone contrary to our hopes.

Soviet informants predicted toe meetings would end in two or three days. Good sources indicated the two sides did not even agree on a basis to open the nego* tiations.

EcuadoFs Military Govm^t

Rounds Up About 150 Leftists

QUITO, Ecuador (AP) The ruling military junta that ousted President Carlos Julio Arosemena as a drunk and Communist sympathizer outlawed Ecuadors Communist party Friday and rounded up about 150 leftists.

Meanwhils persons who attended a presidential banquet Wednesday night said Arosemena disgraces himself not only by getting drunk and vomiting in ftXHit ol the guests but also by slurring the U.S. government in the presence of U.S. Ambassador Maurice M. Bembaum.

Guests reported a hush of embarrassment fell over the banquet hall when Arosemena stood up and said:

The people of Ecuador and those of the United States enjoy cordial relations but It exists only between the two people. The government of the United States exploits Latin America and exploits Ecusulor.

Witnesses related Arosemena swayed, turned to the American ambassador, and said dont get angry at what I have said because it is only my personal opinion. I hope you will understand and that you will agree. Bembaum replied;

No, Mr. President, I cannot agree with you. The govennnent of tlie United States is s reflection of tlie American people. Arosemena tried to prod Public Works Minister Miguel Salem Into agreeing with his statement. The minister sat silent. Arosemena then staggered out of the i-oom.

Military cffloers among toe ftp-

proximately 70 guests immediately went into a night-long session to plan the presidents removal, informants said.

It was the straw that broke the camels back, one diplomat said.

Alwig with banning Communists the junta shipped Vice President Reynaldo Varea Donoso into exile, canceled elections, proclaimed martial law, and Imposed a night curfew and censorship. At least a dozen persons were arrested for violating the curfew.

Col. Marcos Gandara, a junta member, said constitutional guarantees would be restored as soon as Communists and pro-Castro terrorists are contained. He said Communists made dangerous In

in

in

high government government agen-

filtraticms posts and cles.

He said the military rulers probably would retain power for two years to enact reforms in land, civil service and penal laws.

The admitted failure In toe attempt to reconcile Premier Khrushchevs peaceful coexistence Ihie with Pekings militant stand came two days before the scheduled opening here of new East-West nuclear test ban talks.

U.S., British and Soviet test ban negotiators wUl meet Monday. Western circles here viewed prospects of an accord en the long-deadlocked issue with guarded optimism.

Although conceding that the current Soviet-Chinese meetings are doomed to failure, Peking expressed hope that future sessions would be more fruitful.

At the same time toe editorial gave vent to feelings of outrage.

Since the start of toe CUnese-Soviet talks, the Centrftl Committee of the Soviet Union has not ceased its public attack on the Communist party of Chioft,** Peking said.

Perkins Opposes Annual Public Welfare Increases

Grizzly Killed By Sixty Bullets

MEMPHIS, Teiui. (AP) - A 1,000 pound grizzly bear was killed by bla^ from two machine guns, rifles and shotguns when he crashed, growling, through a plywood baiter set up after the animal dug through his .spiayeU cuncrete enclosure.

The huge beast iburned the tear gas filled service tunnel behind the bear caves for almost five hours as zoo keepers and police tried to coax him back Friday.

Emergency squad Capt. Sam Evans said the bear finally fell after being hit by more than 60 bullets.

County Commissioner J. Vance Perkins of Greenville let it be known Friday night that he is (H?* P(X>ed to annual Increases In tax appropriations for public welfare purposes.

Perkins, in Joining other commissioners to adopt Pitt Countys 1963-64 budget of about $2.5 mllr lion, said in a prepared statement tliat no provision is made for endorsing a portion of the budget and for that reason he wanted to record his opposition to more money for the public welfare program which he called this increasing octopus in our county.

Perkins asked that his state-jiu-nt be entered hi Ue Uominls-siuners uilletal minute book.

His statetqent:

There Is no provision for a County Commlsslwier to vote against a portion of the county, budget and. at the same time, vote in favor of the remaining items tovered by the appropriations re-lolutiOQ. ;;^e Board of County

Commissi(Hiers enacts the enCre budget in a single motion.

For that reason, I hereby register my opposition to the increase in personnel and to the lncrep.se in the budget generally for he Department of Public Welfare in the budget for Pitt County for the fiscal year, 1963-64. In my considered opinion, there should be ft decline and not ft rise In pubtto welfare spending. To the best ol my memory as a member of the Board of County CcMnmlssloQera for 12 years, there has been an increase in the appropriation fmr welfare each year. I object and am opposed to this tncreasftng oc-loijus in our coimty.
