Governor Requests
Bi-Partisan Support
By RAYMOND HOLTON
Senate Republicans will caucus.
this morning to discuss Gov.
George Romney's version of new
congressional districts for Michi-
gan which he gave the Legisla-
ture yesterday.,
The governor, in making his pro-
posal before high-ranking state
officials, called for bi-partisan
support and added that unless a
new districting plan is approved
by April 24, the current 1964 elec-
tion schedule cannot be met.
Senate Majority Leader Stanley
G. Thayer (R-Ann Arbor) said
last night that Romney's plan is
"population oriented with mini-
.mum deviation between districts."
He said that Republican reac-
tion to Romney's plan is "gener-
ally favorable" but that some leg-
islators, from both parties, "ob-
ject to the crossing of county
lines in the districts proposed by
Romney."
Upper Peninsula
Much of the opposition to Rom-
ney's plan is coming from Upper
Peninsula legislators because Rom-
ney suggested all of the Upper
Peninsula and part of the lower
be included as one congressional
district.
Rep. Joseph Mack (D-Ironwood)
said that Romney's plan is "gross-
ly unfair" in that the district in-
cluding the Upper Peninsula would
have a population of 413,000, the
highest in the state under Rom-
ney's plan.
Romney told Mack the courts
have decided against stopping at
the Mackinac Bridge in districting
northern Michigan. Romney con-
ceded that "it would be possible
to take a few townships out at the
south edge of the northern district
to overcome the population differ-
ence.
District Size
The average congressional dis-
trict ideally should have a popula-
tion of 411,000.
Sen. Charles S. Blondy (D-De-
troit) said yesterday that the Sen-
ate is currently trying to beat the
deadline for several appropria-
tions measures. However, he said
he was quite confident that Sen-
ate Democrats would be able to
make a study of Romney's plan
before next Tuesday.
Two-Thirds Vote
Bi-partisan support is needed
to get the two-thirds favorable
vote necessary to pass an immedi-
ate redistricting plan in the Legis-
lature.
"If bi-partisan support is not
forthcoming by April 14," Romney
said, "then those of us who gen-
uinely are committed to fair and
effective representation and equal-
ly committed to avoiding the prob-
lems of an at-large election must
reassess our approach and deter-
mine alternate courses of action."

Asks Fiscal
Aid To Help
Nine States
WASHINGTON (P)-Franklin D.
Roosevelt Jr. handed President
Lyndon B. Johnson yesterday a
$4.3-billion program that he said
would provide a new economic
foundation for the depressed Ap-
palachian area.
About two-thirds of the total
would be provided by the federal
government, and the remainder
by the nine states in the region,
which stretches from Pennsylvania
to Georgia.
Johnson is not committed to a
specific program of rehabilitation
for Appalachia, but he included
$250 million for that purpose in
his budget for the fiscal year that
begins next July 1.
Roosevelt Hopeful
Roosevelt, Undersecretary of
Commerce and chairman of an
Appalachian regional commission
set up a year ago by President
John F. Kennedy, told a news
conference he is "very, very hope-
ful that the program will be adopt-
ed by this congress."
The commission recommended
an expanded highway system, de-
velopment and control of the
area's abundant water resources,
accelerated construction of sewage
facilities, conversion ,of cut-over
woodlands to pasture for live-
stock, promotion of recreational
areas and a 1lroad human re-
sources program to provide educa-
tion, housing and other services.
A proposed Appalachian Region-
al Commission would have broad
powers to channel funds to speci-

By ROBERT JOHNSTON
Special To The Daily
ATLANTA-Lester Maddox, reg-
ularly a candidate for public of-
fice in local and state elections,
has consistently won a large seg-
ment of the white vote, often a
majority, on a platform of strict
segregation; but he has yet to
win an election.
Without a doubt his thinking is
representative of a large segment
of the white population, yet in At-
lanta his direct control of either
city politics or the communications
media is almost nil. Maddox's sole
means of influence or city-wide
communication is, in fact, . his
weekly advertisement in the Sat-
urday newspapers.
At one time this was denied him
by the papers, but when suburban
weeklies printed the advertisement
with editorial comments on press
censorship, the ads were reinstat-
ed. However, it is best to visit
Maddox's "Pickrick" cafeteria to
get a full picture of what he
thinks of Atlanta's approach to
the civil rights movement as well
as his opinions on the movement
in general.
Hospitality
Very often he greets his cus-
tomers at the door with a broad
smile, hearty handshake and
friendly, Southern welcome. Spread

out behind him in the entrance-
way is his considerable arsenal ofe
pamphlets, letters and reprintsf
from newspapers or magazinesc
more friendly to his cause than
those in Atlanta.c
Other items there include checks
(for under $15) from the Student
Nonviolent Coordinating Commit-
tee to alleged demonstrators. Mad-1
dox has twice had"Negro customers
at his door, but they were prompt-f
ly thrown out, he claimed, by his
Negro employes.E
There are two central themes,
to the Maddox philosophy. The
first is that integration is im-
moral andthe second, that the
Negro should work to establish his
own affluent society if he wants1
one and not try to encroach on the
white man's. Running sub-themes
include news distortion, particular-
ly of the Northern race situation;
betrayal and deceit by elected of-
ficials, locally and nationally; and1
Communist influence and support
in the civil rights movement.
Rights Fraud
"A great fraud in the form of
civil rights is being perpetratedl
by dishonest leaders on the Ne-1
gro and white people. Pickets of
white, businesses are an open ad-
mission that Negroes can't build'
their own restaurants and hotels
but must have others do it for
them," Maddox said.
"There are less than 15 Ne-
groes in New York City who own
businesses employing over ten peo-
ple even though there is a world
of opportunity in Negro communi-
ties."
Maddox has consistently criticiz-
ed the Negro leaders for creating
the violence that has often accom-
panied the rights movement. He
quoted Hughes A. Robinson, retir-
ed commandant of Ft. Valley State
College, "Were it not for the ac-
tivities of Martin Luther King and
his associates in connection with
inflaming the racial tensions in
Birmingham with sit-in demon-
strations, the bombings would not-
have occurred. You cannot deal
with racial problems with a 'hate
campaign' such as that sponsor-
ed by the Southern Christian
Leadership Conference."
Employment
He pointed to a United Press
report of a speech given in Oak-
land, Calif., by Donald Warden, a
Negro. "tI may cost a million dol-
lars to desegregate a lunch coun-
ter and, if successful,,this will
create, perhaps, a dozen jobs. The
Negro would be smarter to spend
that million on a factory which
might employ 1000 Negroes," War-
den said.

cial power, preventing formation of
Negro-owned banks. Public offi-
cials dishonestly claim to be for
integration. They are really look-
ing for political power.'"
Commenting on Negro opportu-
nity he said, "The Negro has every
opportunity anyone has. There
are no restrictions to his opening
a cafeteria, yet millions are pour-
ed into civil rights crusades which
create no jobs at all."
City Administration
Maddox has never wasted any
kind words on the city administra-
tion, either. "I was offered the
mayor's job in 1957, if I would
allow integration. I have always
been honest with the people so I
refused. I have had to fight well-
financed organizations and even
the state government in my cam-
paigns, but the people are not with
their leaders."
Many organizations, few of
which manage to achieve great im-
portance, have sprung up in Atlan-
ta on Maddox's side. PASS( the
People's Association for Selective
Shopping, is one that Maddox is
actively supporting.
The PASS pledge states, "With
tens of thousands of white Amer-
icans losing their jobs, homes.
schools, churches-other proper-
ties and their rights and freedom
because of attacks from Commu-
nist inspired, lawless racial agita-

Mayors Oppose
Tax Limitation.
By The Associated Press
LANSING-The mayors of three
other Michigan cities yesterday
joined Detroit Mayor Jerome Cav-
anagh in calling for defeat of leg-
islation which would restrict the
power of cities to tax income.
The mayors of Flint, Saginaw
and Battle Creek all agreed in
attacking Hbuse-passed proposals
requiring income 'taxes to be ap-
proved by the voters before going
into effect.
The bill and a companion pro-
posal to bar .local units of gov-
ernment from imposing any ex-
cise taxes except on income, are
backed by Gov. George T. Rom-
ney.
However, the governor opposes
the referendum requirement which
was added on the House floor in
an amendment sponsored by Rep.
Wilfred Bassett (R-Jackson).

In between his Sunday menu
and discussion of 25c chicken in
his Saturday advertisements, Mad-
dox hits with this same hard
force at the civil rights move-
ment and its Atlanta supporters:
"I agree that the lawless paid
agitators (who are fully supported
by the Communists) should be
punished for their wrong doings,
but it is a shame that the pub-
lishers, editors, public officials, etc.,
who have inspired and encourag-
ed the young people into their
lawlessness-do not go to jail."
Under "This and That" is found
the following item: "Why no news
about so many thousands of peo-
ple attending meetings to hear
Gov. George Wallace in the Far
West, that outside speakers had
to be set up to take care of the
overflow crowds?" I
Left-wing Publicity
Or: "From the United States
Post Office, in an 'Official Busi-
ness' envelope, marked with 'Pen-
alty for Private Use to Avoid Pay-
ment of Postage, $300,' I received
a copy of the left wing publication,
'Liberation.' It is a terrible blow
to orderly government when we
hire people in government and in
business because of their voting
rather than by their ability and
qualifications to do the work."
Yet in spite of Maddox's vigor-
ous protests, he has not yet been
able to turn anyone out of public
office or create any powerful force
in Atlanta opposing the city's en-
dorsement of civil rights. It may
be in fact that ,he is right, as
much of Georgia thinks le is, but
Atlanta, for now, does not.

I went to Ann Arbor to see a
new play that was being hatched
by the University of Michigan's
Professional Theatre Program.
The play was John Hersey's The
Child Buyer, adapted by Paul
Shyre from his latest novel. I saw
it twice. And I am glad I went.
Hersey's horrifying satire hits
harder as a play than as a novel.
It was well acted by a cast re-
cruited locally and from Broadway,
and expertly directed by Marcella
Cisney.
The Child Buyer, for all its sav-
age slashing at the spacious values
of our time, turns out to be a
diverting and sometimes hilarious
play.

It has the power to amuse and
stimulate thousands of spectators.
Child Buyer felt at home in
Ann Arbor, especially before -on
intelligent audience that from the
start was tuned in on Hersey's
allegory.
What the U.S. theater needs is
not less of Broadway, but more
outlets for different kinds of plays,
exactly as John Hersey found in
Michigan.
