Thayer Statement
Supports PrOuram
By RAYMOND HOLTON
Senate Republicans, after cau-
cusing yesterday, showed "gener-
ally favorable" reaction to Gov.
George Romney's "one man, one
vote" congressional redistricting
plan, Senate Majority Leader
Stanley Thayer (R-Ann Arbor)
said yesterday.
"But, there is still opposition by'
some Republicans to the way Ro-
ney's plan cuts across county lines
In forming Michigan's 19 congres-
sional districts," he added.
Thayer said that it is neces-
sary to cross county lines in Mich-
igan "when you want to keep the
population variance between dis-
tricts below 10,000."
Romney's plan has a population
variance between the largest and
smallest district of about 3000.
Romney, in disclosing his plan
Thursday, made an appeal for bi-
partisan support. But House Re-
publicans are reportedly consid-
ering their own plan in case
Democrats balk at Romney's pro-
posal.
Another so-called "Plan B"
would nail down at least 11 and
possibly 13 Republican congres-
sional seats. Rep. Henry Hogan
(R-Birmingham), chairman of the!
House Appropriations Committee,:
said, "If the Democrats don't want
to support the Romney plan, then
we will bring in this plan of our
own and attempt to pass it with-
out their votes."
Hogan added that Plan B is a,
House GOP proposal and has not
been endorsed by Romney as an
alternative.
In a brief meeting of Hogan's
committee, Democratic members
were unwilling to commit them-'
selves on the Romney proposal.
Hogan estimated that the Rom-.
ney lan would result in a split
of 10 Republicans and nine Dem-
ocrats, ",or even a 9-8 split witht
two "sing" districts in doubt.
Romney said Thursday that un-,
less anew districting plan is ap-
proved by April 24 the currente
1964 election schedule cannot beE
met.
In that case it is quite possiblet
that Michigan would have an at-t
large election in the fall, unlesst
Republicans in both houses can
muster a majority to pass a planI
of their own.t
The House GOP "Plan B" wouldr
rearrange the second district,t
which includes Ann Arbor. 1
Erhard Accepts1
Troop Removal
BONN (A')-Chancellor Ludwig
Erhard's government does not ob-
ject to the removal of some Unit-X
ed States troops from West Ger-c
many, a government statement i
said yesterday.
The statement was issued min-
utes after the Defense Depart-
ment in Washington announcedt
that U.S. Army units sent to this!
country in the 1961 Berlin crisis
are being returned to the Unitedl
States.
"The federal government was in--s
formed beforehand that the world-
wide obligations of the United
States make it necessary to trans-#

GEORGE ROMNEY
Court Gives{
Opinions As
Individuals E
Wait for Guidance
From Supreme Courtf
LANSING UIP) - The Michigan
Supreme Court - although still
looking hopefully to the United
States Supreme Court for guidance
-yesterday issued a series of in-
dividual opinions moving it a step
closer to a decision on legislative
apportionment.
There was no certain indica-
tion, from the opinions by individ-
ual justices, how the final deci-
sion would go. But they appeared
to strengthen the probability of a
"one man,'one vote" ruling.
It was in effect a 4-2 ruling in
favor of further postponement of a
decision on the validity of legisla-
tive districting plans submitted by
the Legislative Apportionment
Commission.
Further Delay
In two opinions, two Democratic
members of the court decided on
further delay of a final ruling and
a third, Justice Theodore Souris,
said he found the Senate appor-
tionment provisions of the State
Constitution unconstitutional.
Souris also rejected as unconsti-
tutional all four plans which had
been submitted to the court by
the bipartisan Legislative Appor-
tionment Commission.
Justices Paul Adams and Eugene
Black called for further postpone-
ment until after guidelines for a
ruling are established by the Unit-
ed States Supreme Court.E
'Pleased To Join'
Adams said, however, he would
be "pleased to join" with Souris if
and when the U.S. court lays down
a precedent. that follows Souris'
thinking.
Black assailed his fellow jus-
tices for what he termed "a head-
long rush" to make a decision
without waiting for the U.S. Su-
preme Court to show the way.
In the fourth opinion, Justice
Michael O'Hara joined his two Re-
publican colleagues on the court.
who ruled earlier the apportion-
ment plan devised by GOP mem-
bers of the State Apportionment
Commission "most accurately com-
plies" with the State Constitution.
O'Hara's declaration of position
put the court's three Republican,
members in support of the GOP
plan, with Souris and Kavanagh
the only Democrats expressing op-
position to it.
BRASILIA OP)--The new Brazil-
ian president to be elected by its
congress today is being cautioned
in advance that the antisubversiorn
act issued by the military "is dan-
gerously unconstitutional."
A hard-hit congress reacted yes-
terday with heated tempers and
a near brawl on the chamber poor
over the suspension of the politi-
cal rights of more than a score of
congressmen. At the same time,
United States officials privately
expressed growing concern over
the Brazilian military's departure
from constitutional procedures.
The military Thursday night is-
sued what it called an "institu-
tional act" which suspended poli-
tical rights and revoked mandates
of federal, state and municipal
legislators without recourse to the
courts.
It also ordered the congress to
meet within two days to elect a
new president to serve until de-
posed Joao Goulart's term tech-
nically expires 20 months from
now.
The negative reaction flowed in
quickly today from U.S. and Bra-
zilian capitals.
In Brasilia, two deputies spoke
up strongly against the antisubver-
sion act. One deputy threw his
credentials on the chamber chair-
man's table in protest. When the
chairman started reading a list of
substitute deputies the session had.
to be ended as wild shoving and
shouting broke out.
The act "could be a highly dan-
gerous instrument in the hands of
a bad president," one newspaper
said in a front-page column. It
expressed hope that the new chief
executive will use the extraordi-
nary powers only for the nation's
welfare.
Latin Americanssources in
Washington were also anxiously
awaiting today's election to see if
it reflects a triumph of ultra-con-
servative influences.
The front-running candidate for
Brazil's presidency is the former
army chief of staff, General Hum-
berto Castello Blanco.
Meanwhile, in Venezuela, the
government is doing some soul
searching on the question of main-
taining diplomatic relations with
Brazil, where the military threw
out President Joao Goulart last
week.
Having had its own long and
painful experience with dictator-
ship, Venezuela has maintained an
ironclad policy of refusing to
recognize regimes arising from mil-
itary coups.
Some foreign ministry officials
say Brazil followed the constitu-
tional line of successors and Goul-
art himself, in effect, resigned by
leaving the country for Uruguay
without .asking permission of con-
gress.
Others say President Raul Leoni
should observe the policy that has
denied recognition of revolutionary
governments in other South Amer-
ican countries.
EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the
sixth in a series of seven articles
dealing with the Negro in Atlanta,
The reporter, although not a native
Southerner, has lived in that city
for five years.
By ROBERT JOHNSTON
special to The Daily
ATLANTA-The Greater Atlan-
ta Council on Human Relations
has attempted over the last several
years of its existence to provide
an organized basis for the city's
civil rights movement.
The council is a private organi-
zation financed through contribu-
tions from its members. Mrs. Clif-
ton Hoffman, chairman, has ex-
plained that the council tries to'
use the resources of the group-
and the individuals who compose
it-to help to remove the segrega-
tional barrers.
Once this can be accomplished,
the group seeks to provide op-
portunities and encouragement for
individuals to participate in an
integrated society. She observes
that "the old familiar patterns of
organization do not always fit
social change. This work is some-
times exhausting but always excit-
ing."
Totals Projects
The council has tabulated its
projects in 1963. It distributed
35,000 anti-discrimination stickers,
prepared a list of Atlanta's in-
tegrated facilities, published an
"Equal Opportunity Employer"!
directory, and assisted in desegre-
gation efforts for schools, theatres,
employment, health and social
services.
Many programs have been plan-
ned for 1964: headed by a project
of community education on open
occupancy. There will also be in-
tensified urban renewal work; as-
sistance with school transfer ap-
plications in systems in the metro-
politan area; implementation of
programs to extend merit employ-
ment and filling of requests for as-
sistance- from office.s and groups1
planning for desegregation.
Mrs. Eliza Pascal (white) is
executive director of the council.
Her position is maintained by the!
Unitarian - Universalist Service!
Committee. .
Declaration Needed
"A declaration of acceptance
and of implementation of dese-
gregation is needed. This first
step has been undertaken. The im-
plementation has not. Atlanta has
achieved some desegregation but
only what the city has been push-
ed into," she said. "However, one
thing encourages another."
Mrs. Pascal explained the degree
of commitment thus far obtained1
from the white citizenry, "The
liberal whites have based their
stand on law and order. They have
avoided the issue of desegregation.
Every step has been the smallest
possible and based on what the
people had to do, not what they
thought was right."
Three floors above the Atlanta
Council's office in the same build-
ing in downtown Atlanta are the
considerable headquarters offices
of the Southern Region Council.1
The Southern Regional Council
publishes many comprehensive
studies of the Negro movement
and its results and puts out a
bimonthly magazine "The New
South." Three of its studies are
"Albany, A Study in National Re-
sponsibility," "School Desegrega-
tion, The First Six Years". and
"The Economic Status of Negroes
in the Nation and in the South."
Two studies have been published

Recently Integrated
The congregation of the Atlan
First Baptist Church recently v

ices. This move followed a seni
of demonstrations directed at tl
church's policy of seating Negro
and whites separately.

tative of the National Council
Churches said, "The churches a

Most denominational bodies ha
taken strong .,anti - segregati
stands, and many state groui
have followed."
-Associated Press
NEGRO WOMAN is being arrested at a sit-in demonstration pro-
testing restaurant segregation in Atlanta. Public demonstrations
have played a major part in securing desegregation of many of
the city's public and private facilities.
While this council's activities do
not usually affect Atlanta directly,
its leadership is based in the city
and thus plays a part in the local
events.
Publicize the Movement
One of its principal activities is
the preparation and distribution
of a great deal of literature con-
cerning the rights movement in,
the South. One of these publica-
tions, a one year summary of civil
rights activities, states at the be-
ginning, "During 1963 an estimat-
ed 930 individual public protest
demonstrations took place in at
least 115 cities in the 11 Southern
states. More than 20,000 of the
persons who have demonstrated
have been arrested. Ten persons
have died under circumstances
directly related to racial protests.
And 35 known bombings have oc-
curred.
"On the positive side some prog-
ress toward integration has been
taken in an estimated 186 locali-
ties in the 11 Southern states. Bi-
racial committees are working in
100 of these cities." Complete de-.
tails of all these happenings are
listed in the report.

any talk that failure to pass the
pending civil rights bill may lead
to bloodshed and expressed hope
there will be "no more statements

But Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore)
promptly answered that while he
thinks Negroes "will make a great
mistake if they take their cause to
the streets," this will not lead
him to "stick my head in the
sand ... and not say what I think
is inevitable if we do not deliver
the full constitutional rights to
