RACIAL INCIDENTS Bomb McCOMB, Miss. (AP) - Three explosions damaged a McComb, Miss. house in which 10 civil rights workers were sleeping in the pre-dawn hours yesterday. Two were injured. The Federal Bureau of Inves- tigation has sent an explosive ex- pert from Washington to help with the investigation. This was the third such explosion in the South- west Mississippi town in recent weeks. FBI agents and police have re- ported no progress in the investi- gation of the other bombings. Damaged was a barbershop own- ed by a leader of the National As- sociation for the Advancement of Colored People and three houses occupied by Negroes. There have been no arrests. Negroes Served Negroes were served with white persons in restaurants in St. Au- gustine, Fla., where racial viol- ence flared for about a month. Negroes said they found compli- ance with the new civil rights law in about 15 restaurants tested. The only incident noted in St. Augustine was when a group of Workers' House U.S., Russians Appear Moving Toward Talks On Peace Force for UN Rustin said that the plight of within American society, and "is BAYARD RUSTIN Rustin Replies To Questions EDITOR'S NOTE: Before his speech yesterday, Bayard Rustin answered several questions in a short inter- view Here are some of the questions and answers. By ROBERT HIPPLER What do you think of the proposal of the convention of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People that the Federal government take over the government of Mississippi before further vio- lence occurs? I don't agree with their idea as it stands. I do agree that more Federal marshals should be sent to the state to protect the civil rights workers. But a takeover of Mississippi government by Fed- eral troops would be futile. The government can be changed-but this can and will be done through political and not military power. The Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party-a civil rights political movement-is gaining strength in Mississippi through Negro registrations, and will at- tempt to oust the regular Mis- sissippi Democratic Party at the national convention next month. What do you think of this ef- fort? This kind of movement is the beginning of the answer to the race problem in the South. This is the start of the type of political movement I envision, and it is a good start. I hope that they suc- ceed in their efforts to unseat the regular Democrats. Another civil rights party is forming in Detroit. Called the "Freedom Now" party, it is an all-Negro political movement, which will probably take votes from the Democrats. What are your opinions on this? This kind of party is exactly the thing we don't want. We are not seeking separation from the white citizens, as this party says it wants. We want integration all the way-and equality. They go to- gether. The Freedom Democratic Party, for example, is open to and contains all races-this is the type of movement that is needed. What do you think of Presi- dent Lyndon B. Johnson's War on Poverty? It is inadequate. It's a piece- meal effort, and does not involve anywhere near the effort or money needed to solve America's eco- nomic problems. The answer is much more complicated than this "war on poverty"-it lies in demo- cratic economic planning for full employment and best use of re- sources. the American Negro is interwoven a result of the contradictions in- "herent in that society from its beginnings. Basic Change "Thus, the problem of the Negro must be solved by a basic change in the nature of America, not merely by freedom rides and sit- ins," Rustin explained. "While such demonstrations can solve a problem such as public accommodations, they do not get jobs, they do not remove the slums, they do not solve any but a fraction of the Negro's prob- lems," Rustin said. "For the plight of the poor Negro is the plight of the poor white in many ways. Four-fifths of the poor of America are white," he said. "They must find a way out along with their black fellow citizens." And the way to do this is many pronged, noted Rustin: Public Works -"First, a huge public works program must be undertaken," he said. "Money must be spent on schools, hospitals, parks and all those things which we need so bady - and which would create millions of jobs for the so-called 'unskilled workers. The way to do this is through the federal gov- ernment, which, after all, is only you, the citzen, acting through an agent you have created for the nation's, good. -"S ec o n d, economic, demo- cratic planning is the only event- ual way out of the morass in which one-third of America finds itself today," said Rustin. Retraining schools are not the answer, he added. "Men must have jobs when they get out of the schools." Guaranteed Income -Next, "you people may look at me strangely when I say this, but I will say it anyway. We need a guaranteed income for every man, woman and child in America. The country can do this\ - and with surprising ease. "Along with this must go a value change in our society. We must redefine work. In the past, work has been a prerequisite for eating in any society - but all this has been based on an economy of pov- erty. But in an 'affluent society,' there is enough for all, including the old, the handicapped, the un- educated. "With their incomes they can work to improve their education, physical condition, and self-re- spect. Without a source of income, they are helpless, the lower level of an otherwise rich culture. "The basic principles and prob- lems involved in this restructuring or our nation's life are outlined in the letter.-to the President- The Triple Revolution'-to which I was a signatory. "If we can just use creative thinking and planning within the framework of American society, we can solve the problems of all the disadvantaged - both black and white," Rustin concluded. Federal Housmg Experiment Announced for Ann Arbor WASHINGTON-Placing low-income persons in a moderate-in- come housing project for the aged through a rent supplement program will be "tried out" in Ann Arbor as a national experiment, it was an- nounced yesterday by Rep. George Meader (R-Ann Arbor). Federal funds supplied by the Housing and Home Finance Agency will be used to help 20 low-income persons 62 or over pay for apart- ments in Lurie Terrace, a 142-unit nonprofit housing development for the elderly in central Ann Arbor. Federal funds totalling $21,200 will be drawn on for two years to supplement amounts the low-income individuals can pay. The Wash- GOVERNOR WALLACE white youths chased two white in- tegrationists from a drugstore. NAACP Investigation A fact-finding committee of the NAACP was expected at Mem- phis, Tenn., today to disclose its findings on a four-day tour of Mississippi. The group has traveled exten- sively in Mississippi since Sun- day, breaking segregation barriers en route. It has visited many of the areas where Negro voter reg- istration drives are under way. There were these other develop- ments in Mississippi: At Jackson, the NAACP called for the Justice Department to re- move segregation signs from the Neshoba County courthouse at Philadelphia. At Clarksdale, the city govern- ment closed the city's two swim- ming pools after a biracial group asked to swim at the pool reserved for Negroes. Greenville Jimmie Thornton, 21-year-old Negro, ate at a white motel res- taurant at Greenville without in- cident. It was the first test of compliance with the civil rights law in Greenville. Seach continued in the Phila- delphia area for three civil rights workers who disappeared June 21. Widespread racial unrest was reported in Georgia as Negroes tested compliance with the civil rights law. Fifteen white youths were ar- rested at Americus on complaints of disturbing the peace after a firecracker and rock-throwing me- lee in a neighborhood Tuesday night. Jailed Seventeen young Negroes and a white youth spent the night in jail at Gainesville after they fail- ed to heed a police order to get off the streets after an 8 p.m. curfew. Curfews also are being enforced' in several other Georgia cities, in- cluding Rome and McDonough. Police Chief W. W. Kitchens of Covington, Ga., said he asked for aid from the state patrol Tuesday night after a crowd gathered in the town square. He said the crowd formed when two Negroes were arrested in connection with the shooting and wounding of a white man. Kitchens said the two Negroes were being held for questioning at an undisclosed location. Would Close Parks At Montgomery, Ala., Gov. George Wallace of Alabama said he would close the state's park system if it were forced to inte- grate. In Bessemer, Ala., white men at- tacked Negroes with baseball bats when the Negroes ate at a pre- viously white lunch counter in a department store. It was the first test of compli- ance with the civil rights law in, Bessemer, a suburb of Birming- ham, although Birmingham prop- er has served Negroes without in- cident since Friday, the day after the law was signed. the John Birch Society; and claring the constitutionally of new civil rights law. The Old a And the Sea WASHINGTON (P) - Leices- ter Hemingway, the brother of the late Ernest Hemingway, showed reporters yesterday the first movies of his new Carib- bean Island, the sovereign Re- public of New Atlantis. The island is a 6 foot by 30 foot bamboo raft anchored in the Caribbean Sea just south- west of Jamaica. Hemingway proclaimed this raft a republic on July 4, wrote letters of notice to President Lyndon B. Johnson and United Nations Secretary General U Thant, and unveiled his plans for any newsmen willing to listen. Hemingway says he is laying claim to a bank of land about 50 feet below the water at 78 degrees 4 minutes longitude and 18 degrees 1 minute lati- tude. He says he plans to fill up this bank with rocks until it becomes a real island on which people may live. The raft right now is anchored to the bank. "I want to expand," Heming- way said. "We're small and we want to be larger. We want it big enough so someone can sleep on it." What about industry? "Industry?" he r e pIi e d. "S t a m p i n g stamps, coining coins, making up books and films, and thinking up funny slogans for vistors." OPPONENTS TOO WEAK Doubt Threat To Goldwater WASHINGTON (/)-Sen. Barry Goldwater isn't worried about the Republican Party platform, his campaign director said yesterday. Denison Kitchel said in an interview he doesn't think the forces opposing the senator in his front-running bid for the GOP presi- dential nomination have enough delegate strength to win adoption of platform planks aimed at embarrassing the Arizonan. Goldwater takes his conservative case to the GOP resolutions committee Friday morning. He will fly to San Francisco tomorrow. Pennsylvania Gov. William W. Scranton has demanded platform planks repudiating "extremist groups of both the left and right" . _ _ _ _ _ twith a specific condemnation of de- the *tenaw County Social Welfare De- partment has agreed to continue the rent supplement program when the two-year demonstration period ends, HHFA officals said. Alfred E. Brose, director of the Washtenaw County Department of Social Welfare in Ann Arbor, enlarged on HHFA's statement of his department's role. "At the close of the demonstra- tion the department will make an assessment of each tenant's needs with a view of providing a supple- ment sufficient to permit the tenants to continue occupancy in Lurie Terrace," Brose said. "We are always interested in better housing than there has been for people who are living on pub- lic assistance, especially the elder- ly. I think the Lurie Terrace Apartment project and its rent supplement program will raise standards of living for a group of our elderly citizens." HHFA has approved a $77,836 grant to the University of Mich- igan to carry out the demonstra- tion. World News Roundup By The Associated Press LONDON-African leaders won a tactical victory at the opening of the Conference of Commonwealth Prime Ministers yesterday, pushing to the top of the agenda the hot issue of white-ruled Southern Rhodesia. The agreement staved off a crisis that had threatened to split the 18-nation conference on racial lines even before it began. Prime Minister Sir Alec Douglas-Home had hoped to weld the multiracial Commonwealth more firmly by leading off with discussion of a broad program of closer eco- nomic ties and more aid to poorer members. GOVERNOR ROCKEFELLER J Demonstrators Send Letter To Pierpont The North Campus parking pro- testors sent another letter to Vice President for Business and Fi- nance Wilbur K. Pierpont yester- day, asking for negotiations over3 the parking situation on North Campus. For the sixth day, over 100 cars parked on the lawn adjacent to the Phoenix Project, in protest over new University parking regu- lations which went into effect in that area on July 1. "The letter to Pierpont merely asked for a period of moratorium on the regulations so there could be some discussion," one protestor said. Spokesmen for the protestors have talked to Executive Vice President Marvin L. Niehuss, but nobody has conferred with Pier- pont, who gave the decision to en- act the parking regulations with- out delay. Yesterday the University fin- ished repaving a formerly all free parking lot on North Campus. Under the new regulations, it was to be all paid. But, in an apparent silent concession, the University added 50 free parking spaces to the lot. The protestors, however, desire a free lot closer to the Phoenix Project. The protest will go on, they said, until a settlement is reached. In a news release yesterday, the protestors noted that "the police department has been more than helpful when contacted by the committee. They havestated that they have not yet been notified by the University to ticket or tow away. "If they are told to ticket or tow away, they have also said that they will not differentiate between University staff and construction workers who are also parked out- side the lots. O'Neil Leads Election Survey DETROIT (P)-A Detroit News poll indicated Tuesday that James O'Neil. a member of the State Seconds Motion New York Gov. Nelson A. Rocke- feller seconded those proposals before the committee yesterday in, San Francisco but stopped short of calling for specific condemna- tion of the Birch Society. On the subject of the civil rights plank in the platform, Kitchel said would be ridiculous because that; is a judicial question, not a po- litical one. The Goldwater campaign chief said he expects the platform plank on civil rights to offer a broad expression of the party's stand on equality, then mention the present law and declare it will be en- forced. Most Reasonable "That's the most reasonable and appropriate thing," he said. Goldwater is known to hold that view. Aides said he planned to spend the day working and re- laxing at his Washington apart- ment, preparing for his journey to San Francisco tomorrow morning. In San Francisco, a proposal to give the smaller states-termed "the citadel of American con- servatism"-a greater voice at Re- publican National Conventions was rejected by the Republican Na- tional Committee. Overrides Committee The committee overrode its rules committee, 70-30, to defeat a rules change which would have made national committeemen automatic delegates. The revision was advocated by some supporters of Sen. Barry Goldwater but others opposed it. Goldwater aides denied they sought to bolster the conservative cause by adding two delegates from each state and territory. In other actions, the committee: -Strengthened existing pro- visions by specifically declaring no delegate shall be bound by the unit rule in voting at national conventions. -Took aim at favorite son dele- gations which hope to be the one putting the presidential nominee over the top. Under the new rule, a delegation won't be allowed to change its vote until all delega- tions which passed get a second chance to cast a ballot. 'Now Disagree On Provisions For Control Recent Soviet Plan 'Encouraging'; May Establish Precedent WASHINGTON (A)-The United States and the Soviet Union ap- pear to be moving into a major new negotiation on the future makeup, organization and finan- ing of United Nations military forces employed over the world to deal with threats to peace. The two powers differ sharply on the extent of control which should be vested as a practical matter in the Security Council rather than the General Assembly and on some other issues. But State Department authori- ties said yesterday they are en- couraged by Russia's latest move and believe that the Soviet gov- ernment may be ready to open serious negotiations on these ques- tions and to cooperate with the United Nations to a degree un- known in the past. Assess Intentions These officials are trying to as- sess Russia's intentions in the light of its split with Red China and the fact that it is facing a loss of its vote in the United Nations because of refusal to pay assess- ments for past UN peace-keeping operations. Disclosure of the Soviet move came earlier this week with the release in Tokyo of a Soviet note to Japan calling for the forma- tion of the UN military force under the Security Council, the troops to be supplied by the smaller UN members, including Communist countries. U.S. officials are still puzzled by the fact that the note was pre- sented first to Japan and made public there by the foreign office. Most authorities here think there may have been a slip-up some- where along the line since the So- viet proposals are the kind to in- terest all of the UN member na- tions and would normally have been presented to most or all of them about the same time. Tuesday Night The United States and Great Britain were not given official So- viet outlines of the proposal until Tuesday night. Russia's chief UN delegate, Nikolai T. Fedorenko, in- vited U.S. Ambassador Adlai E. Stevenson and British Ambassa- dor Sir Patrick Dean to the So- viet mission to receive a memo- randum on the proposal. Stevenson later told reporters that at first glance the memoran- dum contained nothing new be- yond what had been announced in Tokyo. After leaving a copy of a memo- randum with UN Secretary-Gener- al U Thant Tuesday night, Fedor- enko told reporters the proposal is a "positive, constructive, or if you prefer, creative approach to the problem: a government posi- tion of great importance." He gave no details. ADMISSIONS Staying Up in the SAB UNITED NATIONS-Secretary- General U Thant advocated yes- terday a new Geneva Conference aimed at ending the fighting in South Viet Nam. He declared "military methods will not bring about peace in South Viet Nam," and called for "the political and diplomatic method of negotiating." GENEVA - The International Commission of Jurists accused the Soviet Union yesterday of con- ducting a violent campaign of anti-Semitism and said that Jews are being made the scapegoats for widespread economic corrup- tion. * * * SAIGON-The Communists have shifted the center of their war effort in South Viet Nam from the swampy Mekong Delta to the central highlands in the past 10 days. Senior Vietnamese officers be- lieve the Reds have moved troops in frnm North Viet Nram to get the Khrushchev Decries American 'Aggressive War' in Viet Nam MOSCOW (P)-Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev accused the United States yesterday of "waging a murderous war of aggression" in South Viet Nam and warned that local wars may "even touch off a world conflagration." In a wide-ranging speech, Khrushchev asserted a grave situation is developing in Laos "where interference by aggressive imperialist powers may kindle a war fraught with dangerous consequences." He called U.S. reconnaissance flights over Cuba an adventurist policy and added that serious quences may lie ahead flights are not halted. conse- " if the Will Fight Twice he warned that the So- viet Union is prepared to use its arms to protect its friends and allies. At one point he seemed to an- swer Red Chinese charges that in following a peaceful coexistency policy, Khrushchev refuses to support revolutionary movements in developing countries. Green Announces Fall Candidacy KINGSTON (PAllison Green, (R-Kingston), who spearheaded Gov. George Romney's legislative programs as speaker of the Mich- igan House, announced candidacy yesterday for Republican nomi- nation as lieutenant governor. Green, 53, opposes Sen.
