Mr.. Olney told reporters after
the conference:
81 can say we have. discussed
both the facts, or rather the allie

memorandum and also the law, in
great detail with respect to each

"All the incidents referred to

Because the inquiries are not

Reign OF Terror
In the memorandum, Mr.. Wilkins
called the brutal murder Of young
Till on August % "the logical and
inevitable elimination of a reign
Of terror which has been generated
in the state of Mississippi through
out the year.
"Incubated behind the facade of
respectfully afforded by the go
called White Citizens Councils of
Mississippi" Mr.. Wilkins said, the
terrorism began as "thinly -gloved
effort to persuade" colored citizens
to forfeit their rights to vote, not
to press for desegregation of the
public schools, and to forego their
demand for civil rights.
When persuasion failed, he as
serted, the White Citizens Council
members "resorted to economic re-
prisals to compel submission to
their demands"
Mr.. Wilkins chargd that "their
propaganda, their open appeals to
bigotry and intolerance naturally
created an atmosphere of violence"
the "bitter fruits" of which were
three murders, hundreds Of threats
of violence, drastic reduction in
the number of colored voters and
countless instances of intimidation.
The principal events in the reign
of terror listed by Mr.. Wilkins were
to keep colored people from voting.
Other aims are to keep segregation
in schools and maintain present
conditions in race relations.
Death Threats
While claiming to abhor violence,
their campaign and the language
they use create an atmosphere in
which death threats and murders
have been tolerated by local and
state law enforcement authorities.
2. White Citizens Councils have
encouraged economic boycots Of
colored citizens who insist upon ex-
ercising their civil rights, have
sought to have militant colored
persons fired from jobs, and have
instigated denial of credit to farm
ers and small businessmen to force
them to accept segregation.
8. The Rev. George. w. Lee was
murdered in Belzoni, Miss, May 7
because he refused to remove his
name from the registered voters
list when local whites ordered him
to do so. Nobody has been arrest
ed fer his murder.
Raved And Ranted
4. During the Democratic guber-
Material primaries this summer all
five candidates "ranted and raved"
against colored people threatening
them and thelling them what they
would do if elected to keep colored
people in their places.
Newspapers carried inflamina-
tory stories, editorials and letters
to the editors calling upon whites
to unite against colored people.
The press inveighed against all
supporters of civil rights, including
the Eisenhower Administration, the
United States Supreme Court and

Pentagon Plugs
Leak Of News
BY JOHN A. GILES

The new method Of keeping
control OF information which
bears no military secrecy stamp
and which generally gets oui
through industrial circles is being
used by the Pentagon.
A Defense Department regula-
ton attempting to plug this leak
has been in effect since January
But 1t came to light officially
today through publication In the
Federal Register.
It states that managers Of in
dustrial plants should be ZEN
couraged to exercise considerable
caution prior to the release Of
economic technical information
(unclassified) in press releases.
advertisements, notices to stock
holders, annual or quarterly
reports, brochures, etc.. and re-
ports In response TO question
mares from unknown or ques-
tionable sources.
This material, when assem-
bled. collated. and evaluated.
could contribute materially to an
accurate appraisal Of the stra-
tegic intentions Of the United
States" the regulation states.
Long Sought Curb
Secretary Of Defense Wilson
long has attempted to plug this
revelation of unclassified infor-
nation. Unclassified means that
the information doesn't come
within the category Of top secret.
secret or confidential or even the
semiclassification category of
for official use only"
Thus industrial firms now will
be encouraged to avoid discus
sion of such things as contract
award information, vulnerable
points within a facility, plans
and details of expansion Of
equipment. production methods.
sources of supplies and power
and information concerning in
dustrial measures.
The regulation is similar to
that promulgated by R. Kari
Honaman. now Deputy Assistant
Defense Secretary for public az
fairs. when he sought to estab-
lish form Of voluntary censor
ship on strategic materials in
formation while in the Com
merce Department. However
Mr.. Honoman had no hand in
writing the Defense Department
regulation since he did not ar
rive in the Pentagon until late
April.
The Defense Department regu-
lation is signed by Mr.. Wilson.
Manual Issued
In addition to the regulation,
the department has issued a A
page manual entitled Industrial
Security Manual for Safeguard
ing Classified Information"
The booklet enumerates the
various classification categories.
At one point under the title
Modified Handling Authorized"
It states that confidential infor-
nation may be transmitted In
a single envelope without indi-
eating outside that 1t contains
classified information. This is a
change from the usual handling
since a receipt form has always
been required heretofore.

condary and raced 65 yards untouch-

In the third and fourth quarters
the Pirates were in command most
of the time. A 65-yard march in three
plays was capped by Jack Fields
3-yard thrust into the end zone for
the touchdown. Ray Cummins kicked
the all-important point and the scor-
ing was over for the evening. Fields
helped set up the I'd with a 4O-yard

The Pirates had nine first downs
to six for the Rockets, four of these
coming in the first half. In the pass
ing department neither club showed
to any advantage. Bluffton tried
eight and completed two. They had
two aerials intercepted. The Rockets
attempted five and completed one.
Except for the two or three break
away runs in the game, neither club
could boast an offensive star. Defen-
sively Shumaker, Basinger and Green
stood out. The Rockets defensive was
headed by Hart, Tousley and Kempf.

Pirates Invade
.DelphOS Jefferson
Friday Evening
Schmidt's Boys May Have
Hands Full With Third
Place Opponents

Bluffton's Pirates, playing better
football than their league record
indicates, will be looking for victory
number two for the season Friday
night at Delphos Jefferson. Except
for a couple bad breaks in their last
two loop tits, the Pirates might
easily be among the unvanquished.
The Pirate eleven, with a ILL
mark in loop play, saw a 14-point
lead simmer away at Elida two
weeks ago when they lost 24-20 in
the last two minutes. Last week
they had to come from behind to tie
Pandora -Gilboa 1913 in a none too
stirring contest on the local field.
Friday night at Delphos the Pete
Schmidt-coached Bluffton eleven will
face a Wildcat team which has been
improving rapidly since their open
ing game loss, 21-20, to the Bull
dogs of Columbus Grove. Since the
defeat the Jeffs have defeated La
fayette, 26-13; Forest, 2O-1S; and
Spencerville, 1876.
Coach Paul Krotzer's squad, pres
emily in third place in the NWC
with their 81 mark, has an abund-
ance Of underclassmen. Of the Al
man roster only seven are seniors
There are II juniors, IL sophomores
and 10 freshmen rounding out the
list.
On paper the Wildcats appear tc
be the lighter of the two clubs with
only two men tipping the scales
over the 200-pound mark. They are
Bill Broaddus at 208 and Claude
Hoover at 223. The biggest back il

field.
The Pirates, who last year defeat

can find the formula that will pu
them back in the win column for th'
first time in three outings. Sinc'

Mental lapses and the inability +

have greatly hampered Coac

Physically Bluffton will be in goo
shape for the contest as they cam

Westminster Loss
Rough On Beaver
|Line-Up For Ada
Bob Pikens Out For Season
DubiniOn, Reichenbach
Doubtful Starters

A rock-em and sock-em Westmin-
ster (Pa.) college football team did
just that Saturday as they ran over
the Bluffton college eleven by score
of 26-O at New Wilmington, Pa.
Breaking out with 20-point first
quarter, the Pennsylvanians, whom
Coach Ken Mast compared with
Bowling Green or Heidelberg in this
area, played their substitutes most
of the remainder of the contest.
The Beavers, who went into the
game a decided underdog, threatened
only once in the contest. That time
they advanced to the host teams
four-yard line where tumble ended
the threat.
So tough was the Westminster de
tense that the Beavers could manage
but nine first downs in the contest
most of these coming against th'
subs. Buttons two flying halfbacks
Elbert Dubinion and Willie Taylor
who have led the offensive this year
were kept well in check during the
afternoon.
The Beavers suffered tremendous
loss during the game when End BOZ
Pickens, McComb suffered a brair
conclusion and will be out for the
remainder of the season. The 190-
pound first year player was racked
up on a kickoff and was confined in
Youngstown hospital until Tuesday
Dubinion received a badly bruised
hip and number of other players re-
ceived injuries. Only Dubinion and
Tom Reichenbach are doubtful start
ers against Ohio Northern Saturday
In the absence of an offensive
showing from Dubinion and Taylor,
Stan Erney and Cal Patterson look
ed good for the Beavers in the con-
test
