BY the Associoted Press

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Aug. l3.-
Dynamite blasts rocked the homes
of two Negro ministers early to-
day in an area zoned for whites.
A group of Negroes fired several
shots at the dynamiters' antomo-
bile, apparently without eject.
Eighteen Negroes in the two
houses narrowly escaped death or
injury.
Scores of Negroes in angry
mood gathered in the area imme-
diately and squads Of police de-
ployed to keep traffic moving.
One Negro was arrested. The
arresting officer said he refused

he was booked on charges of re-
sisting arrest and refusing to obey
an officer.
Windows Blown Out.
Most of the windows in the
houses were blown out. Neither
had any major damage.
The houses are only a half block
from three others that were heav-
lily damaged by blasts the night OF
March "a. These other houses had
been bought by Negroes for oc-
cupancy. They were vacant at
the time.
All off-duty policemen were
called in and every available man
rushed to the scene.
Residents of the houses said the
dynamite was hurled by an un-
masked white man who leaned
out of a speeding car.
The houses are occupied by
families of the Rev. Milton Curry
and the Rev. E. B. Deyampert.
Both had been warned in recent
weeks by anonymous phone callers
to move. MIR. Curry said he was
reading his bible when the first
blast occurred.

houses several hours before the

tective Paul Mcmahon he leaped
in his own car and followed the
other. The lead car drove several
blocks, then stopped near two
others. He said he wasn't able
to obtain the license numbers.
Mr.. Henderson returned home
and told the others Ito get ready
for trouble" Several Negroes got
pistols and shotguns and came to
the houses.
Shortly after midnight. a car
was heard speeding up the street.
Il knew something was up"
Mr.. Henderson said. so headed
for the back of the house. I
only got about Is feet before the
first stick of dynamite went of. :"
Negroes Scatter.
He said the Negroes sitting on
the front porch of the house scat
tered momentarily. The car
slowed down. Then the second
blast went of. The car picked up
speed.
Three or four of the Negroes
ran to the sidewalk and fired
after the car. 1t continued with
out slackening speed.
The houses are in North Smith
field, center of .months-long
controversy. The area Is zoned
for white residences only, but ad-
joins the Smithfield Negro Federal
housing project.

covering the area has been ques-
toned by the city's own attorneys.

of the history of the Catholic
church inthe hinterlands of Afri-
ca and how he rose from the son
of parents who were martyrs for
Christianity, when his nation was
heaten, to the highest office ever
attained by a Negro in the church
in Africa.
Bishop Kiwanuka said that he
was consecrated by the Pope him
self in Rome 10 years ago after
he had served the church since
he had entered the missionary
seminary in his own country at
the age Of II. He has seen the
country of 100000 natives who
were not christians, become con-
verted with rs percent Catholic.
One million remain pagan and un-
churched.
The bishop has 100 native and
26 European prists; 200 native
and IL European or white sisters,
