Speaks Here
Last Night
By FRED SEELY
The spectre of Chapel Hill be
coming a national target for in
iegrationist forces was painted
last right by yet another na
tionally prominent Negro leader.
Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth, presi
iSent of the Southern Conference
Ideational Fund, told a crowd
it 250 at the First Baptist Church
that "Chapel Hill could become
the center of national attention.
fl,It would be a shame if this
liad to happen, because this town
Is not like Birmingham or Dan
ville it is a pleasant town which
&as made great progress in civil
Tights.
"They say that 95 per cent of
tfce town is integrated, and why
should we put emphasis here?
&'ell, there's still a problem, and
want to be able to look at this
area as being 100 per cent.
'The integrationist's job is
nearer completion in Chapel Hill
Chan anywhere in the South, and
ve want to finish it so it can
b? used as an example.
"My mother had nine kids, and
he knew she couldn't whip us
all. So she just took one or two
cf the biggest and showed the rest
vt us how it was done."
Also attending the rally was
Floyd McKissick, national chair
man cf the Congress of Racial
Equality. Shuttlesworth was in
troduced by John Salter,, field or
ganizer in this area for SCEF.
In addition to his work with
SCEF, Shuttlesworth, in addition
fe his work with SCEF is secre
tary of the Southern Christian
Leadership Conference, headed
ty Rev. Martin Luther King. He
lso is chairman of the Alabama
Christian Movement for Civil
Eights.
Shuttlesworth is currently on a
speaking tour which will carry
him as far north as Massachu
setts and as far west as Califor
nia, and he indicated he would
be "perfectly willing to return to
Ciapel Hill at any time to aid
in demonstrations, whether it be
through organization or partici
pation." He told a press conference
earlier that his mission last night
Has "to encourage people to
seek their rights to protest in
justice where injustice exists."
He also expressed his belief
fiat the sit-in techniques be con
sumed, saying that it was the
best way to fully dramatize the
goals of the movement and bring
(the problem out in the open.
Ho commented on the recent
threat by Rev. B. Elton Cox of
High Point to immolate himself
3f progress was not made in
Chapel Hill, saying "Negroes do
mot have a tradition or a custom
5f burning themselves up they
only want to ' burn up segrega
tion and discrimination.
'I presume that Rev. Cox was
expressing his personal feelings
at the moment I was very sur
prised to read his statement."
Cox today told newsmen that
be had been misquoted, saying
Ihat he had no intent of immolat
ing himself.
A demonstration through town
as scheduled after the rally. Full
details wil be carried in tomor
row's DTH, as deadline prevented
coverage.

Plans Are Given
For Spring Rush
Plans for spring Informal Rush
were announced this week by
Panhellenic and Interfraternity
Councils. .
Peggy Ann Harriss, president of
the Panhellenic Council, yester
day urged women students to1
participate in spring Informal
Rush beginning Friday, February'
14. Miss Harriss said, "Rush is
a valuable experience enabling you
to meet many people who might
become lifelong friends."
Each sorority has one or more
openings for membership. Rushees
are invited to sorority houses for
meals and informal parties.
The Panhellenic Council yester
day announced a change in the
procedure for signing for rush.
All women students interested in
spring Informal Rush must sign
up in Daryl Farrington's office,
202 South Building, by Feb. 8.
This includes all those who sign
ed up for informal rush during
the Fall semester.
On Thursday, Feb. 13 an in
formal Panhellenic Reception will
be held from 7-8 p.m. in Graham
Memorial. All coeds signed up for
rush are required to attend.
. All rushees should sign prefer
ence lists in Daryl Farrington's
office on Monday, Mar. 6 be
tween 9-11 a.m. Bids will be is
sued that afternoon by each soro
rity. Any women students failing to
sign for rush or having questions
concerning rush may call Peggy
Ann Harriss at 968-9005 or Betty
Job Conference
Is Scheduled
The placement Service is spon
soring a career conference next
Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. in Room
8, Gardner Hall.
Mrs. E. L. Smith of the Proc
ter and Gamble Company will
speak on "How to Evaluate a
Company", and a discussion
period will follow. The meeting
is open to all students, and the
topic should be especially inter
esting to those concerned with
selecting a future employer.
Last year UNC was undefeated
in the few matches it played,
and the players placed well in
dividually in tournaments.
Last weekend Robinson, Simp-,
son and Fornoff won their games
to help a team of UNC students
from North Carolina to a 9-5 win
over UNC players from South
Carolina.
Simpson thinks highly of Jerry
Fink, Duke's top player, but he
doesn't believe Duke's balance
matches UNC's.
The UNC .team plans to meet
State and Davidson in future
dual matches, as well as enter
ing a Duke-sponsored tournament.

Charles Battle, president of the
Infraternity Council, this- week
emphasized the importance of
spring Informal - Rush to each
fraternity. "Fraternities,": he
said, "should be interested in in
formal rush since deferred rush
begins next year."
Each fraternity may decide
whether to participate in rush.
The fraternities taking part are
sending invitations through the
campus mail to those men stu
dents whom they know are in
terested in rush. However, Battle
pointed out, "Just because you
don't receive an invitation does
not mean you can't participate."
Informal fraternity rush will be
held Monday, Sept. 10 through
Wednesday, Sept. 12. During this
period rushees may visit frater
nity houses during the day and
from 7-10 p.m. Bids will be is
sued at any time during rush
and rushees may then pledge.

Retracts Threat
HIGH POINT The Rev. B. Elton Cox appar
ently has retracted his threat to burn himself
alive in the streets of Chapel Hill if the town
does not desegregate completely by Easter.
Cox, state field secretary for the Congress of
Racial Equality (CORE), told a newsman here
yesterday that what he had said was : "If I
thought it would do any good, and if I were not
a Christian, I would do it."
Reporters who covered Cox's address to an
integration rally in Chapel Hill last Sunday
denied they had misquoted Cox, and pointed out
he was asked immediately following his speech
to clarify wnat he had said.
They said he repeated that he was "consid
ering" burning himself in the manner of Viet
namese Buddhist monks, and he was "advoca
ting" that other -Negroes give the idea similar
consideration.
Cox's statement drew a stern rebuke from
James Farmer, national director of CORE.
"If he was serious," Farmer said, "I am sure
he was speaking for himself and not for our organization."
McKissick Okays
Television Debate
Durham attorney Floyd McKis
sick has accepted a challenge
from a Raleigh segregationist
to debate the integration issue
on radio or television.
McKissick, national chairman
of CORE, acknowledeged receipt
of a letter from W. C. Brown,
editor of an anti-integration news
letter, "The Action Press," chal
lenging him to debate on 'in
tegration vs. segregation or civil
rights vs. states rights."
"Any time he wants to is fine
Unpopular though the thought
may be, the indications are that
the flag-raising incident which
triggered off anti-American riots
in Panama is going to be ex
pensive for the United States.
Panama, obviously feeling
that it is dealing from a posi
tion of strength, is demanding
at the most that the United
States give up the Panama
Canal or consent to its becom

and at the least that the United
States agree to a revision of
its treaty rights over the canal.
, Pressing its attack, Panama
has brought charges of aggres
sion against the United States
before the Organization of
American States (OAS).
On its own part, the United
States has maintained that its
forces acted with '"restraint"
against mobs "infiltrated and
led by extremists, including
persons trained in Communist
countries" and mat at no time
did these forces leave the Un
controlled Canal Zone.
There are unfortunate cir
cumstances on each side.

"imprudent" those American

Brown said the debate could

fact that there are several vary
ing opinions in this matter."
Acting as president of the

a summons to appear in federal
court Friday to explain why he
turned six Negroes away from
a segregated school.
Rea told the Negroes during
the confrontation Wednesday
that he was rejecting them be
cause the school already was
overcrowded and that to add
more pupils would put authori
ties in violation of fire and safe
ty codes.
He made clear he would offer
this line of reasoning as his de
fense when he appears at 11 a.m.
(EST) Friday before Federal
Judge Frank Johnson in nearby
Opelika.
"If the court orders me to
admit the Negroes, I will not
defy the court. But it's my
sworn duty to protect the people
of my community and that's
what I'm trying to do," Rea said
Thursday.
It was Johnson who ordered
the Negroes admitted. He took
the step when the state closed
a high school that 12 Negroes
were attending in nearby Tuske
gee. Whites totally boycotted the
Tuskegee school when the Ne
groes entered under federal
court order last fall.
Another school boycott by
whites appeared to be mounting
Thursday in rural Shorter, where
Johnson sent the other six of the
12 Tuskesee Nesroes. Only 82
whites showed up for classes ouf'
of a total enrollment of 144, and
16 of those who did report later
walked out with their books
under their arms.

When Florida
Arrests 38
KEY WEST, Fla. (LTD Cuba
Thursday ordered the cut-off cf
fresh-water pipeline serving the
U. S. Navy base at Guantanamo
Bay in retaliation for the seizure
and jailing of 36 Cuban fisher
men caught poaching in Florida
waters.
The Navy said that water into
the base in Cuba was cut off at
1:58 p.m., EST.
The water source is four miles
from the base, and water in the
pipes continued to flow after the
source was shut off.
A note handed to the Swiss
ambassador in Havana at 11:15
a.m. gave the United States until
noon or 45 minutes in which
to release the fishermen or have
the pipeline shut down.
The new Cuban crisis devel
oped swiftly a few hours after the
state of Florida took custody of
the fishermen from federal au
thorities and carted them off to
the Monroe County jail in Key
West .
The note demanding the re
lease of the fishermen was hand
ed to the Swiss ambassador by
Cuban Foreign Minister Raul
Roa.
Less than three hours after
the announcement of the action
by the Cubans, Key West radio
stations broadcast an order for
all Coast Guardsmen to report
to their base immediately.
In Washington, U.S. officials
expressed shock at the Cuban
government reaction but said'
there are ample, fresh water re-
serves at the "Gitmo" naval
base to care for the 10,500 mili
tary and civilian personnel there.
A representative of the Che
choslovakian Embassy in Wash
ington was reported en route
here late Thursday at the re
quest of the Cuban fishermen.
The Czech diplomat was flying
to Miami, presumably to ar
range for legal counsel.
Florida Atty. Gen. James W.
Kynes said the state could see
no reason for dropping the
charges against the fishermen in
the face of the retaliatory move
by the Cuban government. He
said, however, that he was
willing to cooperate with the U.S.
State Department if asked to do
so.
Of the 33 fishermen seized
Sunday along with their four
vessels, the state actually seeks
to prosecute 29. Two of the fish
ermen defected and received
political asylum in this country
Wednesday.
The state dropped charges
against seven others, all juve
niles of 14 to 16 years of age,
at a court hearing Thursday
morning and asked the federal
government to deport them as
soon as possible.
