Negro Praises
Passive Plan

MONTGOMERY. Ala. Dec. 10
R.-Fewer Southern Negroes
are thinking now of moving to
the North as a result of the
Montgomery example Of passive
resistance to segregation, a
leader of the Negro bus boycott
here said last night.
The Rev. Ralph D. Abernathy
summed up a week-long "InSti-
tute on Nom Violence and Social
Change" as "a real religious ex-
perience" for Negro leaders.
The institute was held to mark
the first anniversary Of the boy
colt and to spread the doctrine
Of united opposition to segrega-
ton among Southern Negroes.
Mr.. Alternately was chairman
of the institute, which closed
with a church meeting Of more
than 5000 persons yesterday. He
estimated total attendance at
institute sessions at about 10000,
with more than 1000 individuals
from outside Montgomery
attending
Sees Crucial Days
Some came from as far away
as Sweden and Puerto Rico. he
said.
This was not a rabble-rousing
thing. not a celebration" Mr..
Abernathy said. 1T was a move
ment to prepare people for the
crucial days present and those
ahead"
The Baptist minister referred
to the expected delivery to
Montgomery shortly of a United
States Supreme Court ruling
that city bus segregation is I'M
constitutional. putting into eff
feet a local Federal court ban
on enforcement of bus segrega-
ton.
Both the city of Montgomery
and the State of Alabama have
asked rehearings of the I'M
animous decision by the high
court. A court ofi1cial said be-
fore the requests were made that
the decision would be Transmitted
to Montgomery about next
Wednesday.
A city-wide mass meeting is
planned for Wednesday night
because "the mandate might be
down." Mr.. Alternately said.
Democracy Can Work
Mr.. Abernathy said that the
institute reveals that democracy
can and will work in America,
because people of all races came
to Montgomery, lived in our
homes. ate at our tables. fellow
shipped with us. brought us
messages of encouragement.
Many local white people were
present at number of sessions. I"
he said. showing that even in
Montgomery people of good will
believe in sharing their demo-
cracy with people of all races"
About dozen white persons
attended the final meeting. which
originally had been planned as a
Statewide religious meeting for
white and Negro religious and
lay leaders.
1t was held in Mr.. Abernathy's
Negro First Baptist Church after
State officials said the large
Alabama State Coliseum could
be used only on a segregated
basis. About 100 persons, who
were unable to get in, listened
to the program outside the
church.

Clinton Negro
Moves Away

CLINTON. Tenn. Dec. 10 R
One of the 10 Negro students
enrolled in Clinton High Schoo
failed to show up for integratec
classes today because she ALREADY
was on her way to California
with her family.
10 Ann Allen. Is, left with hei
family early today. They did moi
disclose their exact destination.
Her father. Herbert Allen-s
leader in Clinton's Negro COM
munity-explained the exodus
thus:
Il want my kids to have a
better break than I did.
II don't believe there will be
an opportunity for my children
in Tennessee because no matter
how much education they get
here, there's no place for them
to use it.
Had Chance for Job
Il guess you'd call me stubborn
for letting the school situation
keep me in Clinton this long, but
now that Indignation seems as
sured. want to go where my
children will have a chance.
"You see. I had a chance for
a job in California last summer
and we didn't go. 10 Ann and 1
are both stubborn and we
thought we'd just tough it out.
Some day, a long time in the
future, she's going to be a doc
tor-a pediatrician.
Il think everything will be all
right in Clinton now that the
FBI has stepped in. but you
never know.
Sometimes you have a big
fire, and a rain comes along and
puts it out, and you hope it's
over. But then when it's dry, a
little smoke comes out, and then

two men have been serving
prison terms for liquor law vio-
lations in nearby Virginia.
Lee was convicted in an ear
lier trial in the Pickett shooting,
but the conviction was set aside
by the United States Court of
Appeals here on the ground that
Lee was not represented by
counsel Of his own choice.
Pickett testified under cross
examination by defense attorney
James j. Laughlin that Lee
seemed cool during their meet
ing in January, 1855 when he
shot Pickett in the arm twice,
in the leg once and himself in
the arm during a scuffle over
the gun.
Scuifle Described
Pickett said he was driving
Lee to a place to transact BUSH
ness regarding some radiators
when he was shot.
II didn't know anything until
he told me to turn my head and
shot me in the arm twice." said
Pickett. 81 pushed the gun down
:. and that's when I got shot in
the leg" he added.
During the scuffle, Pickett
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-12-10

said. Lee also suffered an arm
wound
Pickett also testified that Lee
lent him $1,000 to help start
their Inflated moonshine bust
ness.
Pickett said he agreed at one
time not to press charges against
Lee, but after brooding about it
for six months decided that his
former colleague had been a
dirty dog to shoot someone who
didn't do anything to him. -
Pickett also said that Lee visited
his home after they both were
released from the hospital and
were out on bond and threat
ened him by carrying a gun in
his belt.
Wanted to Bluff Me"
"He wanted me to see the
gun, CeSClIleQ Pickett. He
wanted to bluff me-"
Attorney Laughlin commended
in his opening statement that
Lee shot Pickett in self defense.
Last September, Lee filed an
affidavit charging that Pickett
tried to hire gangster John A.
Kendrick to kill him. Kendrick
was sentenced to Alcatraz follow
ing his conviction for shooting
George Clainos. Attorney Laugh
lin had obtained a trial delay to
permit Kendrick to be brought
here to testify as defense wit
ness.
Following the cross examina-
ton Judge F. Dickinson Let's re-
cessed the trial until this after
noon when Pickett will be re-
examined by United States At
torney Victor w. Caputy.

more smoke, and finally a wind
comes along and, whoosh, up
goes the blaze again. Well, this
is the rainy time, but there's
still a little smoke around.
Didn't Lose Jobs
II don't know Of any economic
pressure put on us to give up our
fight for Indignation in school
Most of us worked for the Gov

but the others who worked in
town did not lose their jobs.
In fact, a lot of white people
have been mighty sympathetic
with our cause.
But I can't take it any more.

SAL Billion
In Foreign Aid

The Senate voted to grant the
administration $4,110.92o.0o0 in
foreign aid appropriations today
after rejecting an attempt to
slash $126.6 million in economic
assistance money.
Last week the Senate rejected
similar efforts to reduce the mill

The ban on any more weapons
for Tito is being offered by the
two top Republican Senators

Both parties are divided over
