Theater integrationists told
Varsity dependent on Carolina
By BILL DOVER
The Citizens Committee for
Open Movies voted 72 to 40 last
Friday night to continue picket
ing both Chapel Hill theatres.
They thus defeated a motion
submitted by their executive
committee to suspend picketing of
the Varsity and to expand picket
ing of the Carolina Theater.
The Rev. Charles Jones prer
sented the motion drawn up by
the executive committee consist
ing of Mary Mason, John Brent
and the Rev. W. R. Foushee and
himself.
Proceding the vote, the results
of the negotiations with the man
agers of the two theatres were
explained.
Jones said that materials sup
porting the integration of the
theatres were - submitted to the
managers.
These materials consisted of a
petition containing the names of
350 UNC faculty members, let
ters to the editors of The Chapel
Hill Weekly and the News of Or
ange County, a poll of Carolina
students showing 87 per cent of
1,800 contacted in favor of open
theaters, a ‘petition containing the
names of 170 high school stu
dents. letters of support from
churches, and letters from individ

The members of the executive
committee reported to the group
that both managers “were very
nice and courteous.”
However, they reported that the
two managers had very different
attitudes toward opening their
theaters to everyone.
According to the committee, An

A student who reported on a
recent meeting with H. F. Meisel
man of Charlottee, owner of the
I theater chain to which the Var
sity belongs, said that Meiselman
told him he wouTd not be able to
follow i policy any different from
the other Chapel Hill theater.
)■ “I will not vary one inch from
the decision of the management
of the Carolina,” Meiselman was
quoted as saying.
E. Carrington Smith, manager
i of the Carolina theater, was not
impressed by all the statements
and letters presented to him, the
committee spokesmen said,
According to the committee,
Smith said his business was good,
and that he would not change his
policies,
i He refused to try integrating
his theater on alternate days and
segregating it on the other days,
ami then change back to_com
plete segregation should his box
office receipts decline, the com
mittee reported.
Smith said he would not integ
rate the Carolina if the Varsity
was integrated.
Unemployment
bill praised
by Kornegay
Sixth District Rep. Horace j
Kornegay yesterday praised the
passage by the House of Repres-1
entatives of President Kennedy’s ;
, proposal to extend unemploy-!
ment compensation benefits.
“This is the first step forward
in the economic recovery and
stability of our country,” said
the freshman Congressman from
Greensboro, “and I am glad to:
have had a part in promoting this j
program to alleviate unemploy- j
ment distress and to increase pur- j
chasing power.” j
In voting for the bill, Rep. j
Kornegay cited “the humane and I
economic benefits which will
flow from this operation,” which
he called “reassuring to all those
who have~been concerned by the
high and sustained unemploy
ment level of recent months.”
It would extend on a tempor
ary self-supporting basis for 13,
more weeks the compensation
granted workers who have * ex
hausted their benefits, up
through June 30. 1962. The addi
tional funds would come from re
payable advances from the fed
eral treasury repayable by an in
crease of .4 of one per cent in j
the federal unmploymnt tax on!
th existing wage base of $3,000
for 1962 and 1963.
