ed. James Farmer, director of the
Congress of Racial Equality, told
newsmen "Chapel Hill is a key
to the South and the nation."
He said "This town has a nation-wide
reputation as a center
cf liberal thinking, but is only
tokenly desegregated. It is on the
Verge of losing its reputation and
its leadership.
"We believe the Board of Ald
ermen should adopt the anti-discrimination
act and we believe it
must do so if Chapel Hill is to
regain its leadership in the civil
rights field."
The 43-year-old Negro leader
continued, "If the Aldermen fail
to end discrimination in accom
modations, the national office of
CORE will throw its full support
behind all efforts to eliminate
segregation here.
We wil step up our activities
and Chapel HUl will become the
Central point of our work.
"All the stops to end discrim
ination will be pulled." Farmer
said.
"If the Aldermen pass the pro
posed legislation," he said," we
will shift our efforts to employ
ment and housing. We will do
so, however, only after seeing
that the public accommodations

Most Smokers Unconcerned
About Government's Report
By NAT WALKER
And DAVE NORDAN
"To (puff) hell with it, (puff
puff) I'm not going to quit."
This statement seemed to re
flect the philosophy of most UNC
students and Chapel Hill resi
dents who were asked for reac
tions to the recent government
report on smoking and health.
The 150,000 word report hit
hardest at cigarette smoking as
being a significant cause of lung
cancer, chronic bronchitis, and
cancer of the larynx.

a full briefing on the Panamani

Monday night when an American

the troubled Canal Zone.
The President was in touch
several times during the day
with the Panamanian situation
and it was not until late Monday
afternoon mat the White House
announced that Johnson would
meet with the returning Ameri
can delegation.
The President set up the meet

As a whole, the march was quiet
except for two minor incidents.
One involved heckling by mem
bers of the ATO fraternity house.
The other almost led to blows
when a man who identified him
self as the Grand Dragon of the
North Carolina Ku Klux Klan
threatened to assault a camer
man who took his picture.
The demonstrators carried signs
saying, "Freedom Now," and
"Sacrifice for Freedom."

Some were defiant, some ra
tionalized, and a few expressed
a desire to quit. A UNC sopho
more, who said he knew all along
that smoking was dangerous, ex
pressed his views by quoting
Mark Twain. "If you can't make
70 the hard way, don't make it
at all."
Buck Roberts, a playwright from
Durham, having his morning cof
fee, was calmly dragging on a
king-size non-filter when asked
about the report, made public
Saturday. Said he, "The spirit is
willing where the flesh is weak."
Tom Benenson of the Dramatic
Art Department, said the report
submitted nothing new. "It's the
same old thing," he said. Senior
Jim Huffman and sophomore John
Cummings had much the same
view. "It's a rehash of the same
old stuff."
Bob Moore, Statesville, said the
report would have no effect on
his smoking babbits. His wife,
however, thought it would be a
good excuse to cut down.
"I'll stop smoking because of
it," said Jim Neal, Raleigh
senior. He cut hack on smoking
some weeks ago he said. How
ever he indicated he may con
tinue to smoke cigars and a pipe.
One student, who said he
smokes from one-and-a-half to
two packs per day, said he read
the reports carefully and doesn't
intend to stop smoking. "You
see old guys every day who have
smoked all their lives, and I'm
not interested in living over 70
anyway," be said.

crosses with "Don't burn a cross,
bear one. Let the love of Christ
fill your life."
The marchers, walking single
file, stretched three-fifths of a
mile when they reached downtown

The march was the second
largest in Chapel Hill's history,
police said, with only the July

with an estimated 500 participants.

fered nothing new. A blond coed
looked up from a set of English
notes, took a long drag from a
filter-tip, and said simply, "I
don't care. I knew cigarettes
were bad when I started, why
should I stop now?"
A Chapel Hill restuarant own
er seemed a bit more impressed
by the report. He drew a pack
of smokes from his pocket and
said he'd been carrying them
since Saturday morning but
hadn't smoked cne since then.
He said this is the best way to
quit.
A tobacco salesman was fill
ing out a sales chit with one eye
closed (it was blinded from the
smoke of his cigarette), when
asked about tobacco sales trends.
He said it was still too early to
tell but thought they would drop
off for a while and then rise
back up.
The finishing touch was added
to this survey by Miss Otelia
Conner, who said her smoking
habits are not at all affected by
the reports she doesn't inhale.

Accommod
Town leaders voted 4-2 last
night to bypass consideration of
a Public Accommodations law
and set up a nine-man committee
to try to iron out Chapel Hill
racial problems.
Integration leaders called the
action "a great disappointment"
and said stepped-up demonstra
tion would be resumed.
Ten Negroes shortly thereafter
sat down on the front steps of
the Town's combination courthouse-police
station and police
began calling in off-duty officers.
An overflow crowd of more than
100 townspeople and students of
split sympathies attended the town
meeting, which climaxed a month
of ractial demonstrations in which
some 239 arrests were made.
The four aldermen who voted
for the motion stressed that they
were doing so because they felt
a public accommodations law
would do more harm than good,
and that voluntary efforts might
still produce desegregation of hold
out businesses.
Integration leaders joined with
the two board members who were
in favor of a public accommoda
tions law, in saying that the
board's action would produce more
negotiations but no action.
The proposal calls for Mayor
Sandy McClamroch to head a
commitee of eight persons two
each from the Ministerial Associa-
tion ,the Merchants Association,
the Chamber of Commerce, and
the UNC faculty.
The substitute motion came af
ter Board members discussed an
Institute of Government report
on the legality of the proposed
law. The report said it was not
dear whether, such & law -would
be held legal by . the courts be
cause they were no North Caro
lina precedents for a law of this
sort.
Negro leader James Farmer,
National Director of CORE, will
meet with the press tomorrow.
YRC MEET

Plans for the Mock Convention

RALEIGH (UPI) The pros

The foul weather appeared

In the mountains, where sup

it was still snowing. This made
many roads impassable and

ponents counted on a large turn
out to defeat the amendment,
the sun came out and began
melting the ice and snow, but
the vote was still expected to
be lighter than previously pre-
- dieted.
The amendment will cut house
membership from 120 to 100, one
from each county, and increase
senate membership from 50 to
70, apportioned by population, if
approved in the referendum.
Opponents of the amendment
have complained that its pass
age would enable 19 per cent of
the State's population to elect a
majority of the House.
The small counties presently
have control with 27 per cent of
the people able to elect a majo
