0, 1965 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PA GE TH Viet Con Downs U.S. 66-Day Seige Plane in Voting Law May Bring Change in Registration MONTGOMERY OP)-The new voting law can bring revolutionary changes in the political affairs in 11 Alabama counties whereNegroes now have a population majority but few votes. A 12th county also has more Negro than white residents, but Negroes already have a voting majority there and hold public office. If the eligible but unregistered Negroes in the 11 other counties take advantage of the newly enacted law in substantial numbers, they can gain the balance of power-and even a voting majority- in time for the election of county officials next year. There is no chance for a statewide Negro plurality at the voting booth within SAIGON ()-Viet Cong guer- rillas shot down a United States Air Force F100 fighter and snipped at a government road-clearing party yesterday to maintain a 66-day-old siege of the special forces camp at Duc Co, 220 miles northeast of Saigon. Briefing officers gave this ac- count of other activity:" Government forces killed 17 Viet Cong and captured nine in a sweep near Ba Gia, four miles west of the coastal city of Quang Ngai, while they suffered no casualties. A thousand men of the U.S. Army's 1st infantry division de- stroyed 18 Viet Cong huts, 13 bunkers and two bridges in a weekend push through a stretch of jungle east and southeast of their base at Bien Hoa, 12 miles northeast of Saigon. No guerrillas were'sighted. Continued Harassment The Viet Cong, continued har- assment of government outposts and watchtowers from 100 to 120 miles southwest of Saigon in Chuong Thien province, firing on five with mortars and small arms in the night. No casualties were reported on either side. U.S. Air Force planes were credited with destroying 365 build- ings and sinking a number of sampans during 126 sorties against the Viet Cong in the 24-hour period ending at 6 a.m. Similar strikes were carried out by U.S. Navy and Marine Corps planes. The Vinh Army barracks, hit repeatedly last week, was again a major objective in raids on North Viet Nam. Attacked-Barracks Sixteen U.S. Navy planes at- tacked the barracks. Pilots said they destroyed 10 buildings, dam- aged. six, knocked out an anti- aircraft site and left the area, ablaze. Spokesmen claimed the raiders returned safely. Radio Hanoi declared six were shot down. The U.S.. presented South Viet Nam's Air- Force with its first jet planes, four B57 Canberra bombers. Brig. Gen. Nguyen Cao Ky, the premier who still commands the air force, flew the first B57 past U.S. and Vietnamese officials who assembled for the ceremony at Saigon's Tan Son Nhut airport. Military officials reported U.S. armed forces in Viet Nam, build- ing toward a total of 125,000, numbered about 82,400 last Thurs- day. Other Developments Among developments elsewhere concerning the war: r Red China charged that U.S. warships and planes attacked Chinese fishing vessels off Hainan island July 19 and Aug. 2 and that a vessel hit in the first attack is missing with six crewmen. A broadcast dispatch of the New China News Agency declared "they are piratical acts, openly sabotag- ing the peaceful work of fisher- men at sea, and are deliberate provocations against the Chinese people." North Korea's Communist party newspaper Rodong Shin- moon declared North Korean's are determined to share life and death with the Vietnamese "in the struggle against the U.S. imperial- ist aggressors, the common enemy.' r Cambodia's chief of state, Prince Norodom Sihanouk, said on a visit to Paris that his country would not tolerate the presence of Viet Cong troops. He denied a Saigon charge that his neutralist government is helping to supply Communist forces in Viet Nam. the foreseeable future, unless white voters stay home. For the state as a whole, the Negro ac- counts for only about 35 per cent of the population. But in 12 counties, there are more Negroes than white resi- dents, ranging all the way from a bare 50.7 per cent majority in Monroe to 83.5 per cent-or more than 5 to 1, in Macon. However, for some unexplained reason, in two of the 12 counties -Monroe and Barbour-the num- ber of white residents of voting age is greater than the Negro voting-age population. At least it was when the last census was taken in 1960. So, unless there has been a significant change, there is little immediate likelihood of a Negro majority in those counties. In Macon, whose county seat is Tuskegee, Negroes elected city and county officials last year and probably will put others in office in 1966. Negro registration has increased noticeably since Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. began his civil rights campaign in Selma last January and ultimately spread it across the state's soil-rich Black Belt. But even with those gains, fewer than 20 per cent of the Negroes 21 years of age and older can vote in most of the counties where they outnumber white residents. Macon is the notable exception. An estimated 4,200 Negroes and only 2,900 white voters are regis- tered in the county. Registrars To Go South WASHINGTON W)-The federal government sped two registrars to each of nine deep ,south counties yesterday. Today they will begin registering Negroes to vote under the new voting rights act. The counties in Alabama, Loui- siana and Mississippi were desig- nated by the justice department as launching places for federal activity under the new act. One of the most familiar racial trouble spots of recent years ap- peared on the list: Dallas county, Ala., of which Selma is the seat. It was racial turbulence there last spring that produced much of the impetus which brought passage of the new act. Atty. Gen. Nicholas Katzenbach said the other counties in Ala- bama are Hale, Lowndes and Marengo. The three parishes in Louisiana where federal exam- iners will set up shop today are East Carroll, East Feliciana and Plequemines. The two affected counties in Mississippi are Le- Flore and Madison.' The department announcement did not identify the registrars. The attorney general said he is ready to designate other southern counties for activity by federal examiners but withheld this ac- tion "in view of indications of compliance, particularly in Geor- gia. UNITED STATES PARATROOPERS march through the scorched Vietnamese jungle on a mission to clear out hiding Viet Cong rebels. None were found. The Viet Cong, however, shot down a U.S. fighter in sharp action yesterday., ..Mt~~h....... : A. ..t...t... .... . . . ..:. ..t. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ... . .: ~t{"'::..:. .. {... .
