After going home and changing
his clothes, Abrahams said he re-
turned to Mrs. Jones house where

compelled to resign their jobs in

point out that the year-long series
of bombings, shootings, and other
forms of terrorism at Koinonia are
receiving national attention. And
this comes at time when Geor-
gia's senators and representative
are waging a fight against pro-
posed civil rights legislation and
any form of federal interference
in state affairs.
The Constitution observed that
cit was not until the emotions
aroused by the Supreme Court de-
cision on schools brought about a
revival of Ku Kluxism that vio-
lence began and the farms were
boycotted," and added:
"Georgians cannot afford to al
low such criminal attacks to con-
tinue ,endangering the lives Of in
nocent women and children, with
out being condemned for lawless-
ness, and also making US vulner-
able to all the more false and un-
reasonable attacks of our most ex-
IRENE critics"
Federal Policing Hinted
The Macon News noted that Sum-
ter County officials and the Geor-
gia Bureau of Investigation ZAP
pear helpless to stop this terrorism
by night-riding outlaws" It's edi-
torial concluded:
"We in the South resent federal
law enforcement officers stepping
into our own back yards. We call
it interference and claim to be
able to handle our own law violat-
ors. But the Koinonia violence is
fast moving to the point where
federal officers may have to be
called in because county and state
authorities are apparently ineffect-
ual in providing these citizens pro-
lection"
Both these editorials have ap-
peared since the latest act of vio-
lence at Koinonia on the night of
March % when a rifle shot, fired
at night by an unknown person,
barely missed girl at the farm.
Meanwhile, the United Church
Women of Georgia, through their
executive committee, are mailing
out thousands of pamphlets Wig
orously attacking the violence at
Koinonia and asking church men,
bers to give the Christian farm
community both moral and ma
terial aid. Resolutions in support
of the Koinonia community were
passed at recent state convention
of the United Church Women at
Rock Eagle Park.
More than the existence of Ko-
inonia Farm is involved in the
current situation in Sumter Coun-
ty, Georgia." the United Church
Women state in their pamphlet.
"At stake are many basic rights of
American citizenship One does
not have to agree with the type Of
Christian witness being practiced
at Koinonia to be concerned over
the thoughtless opposition and vio-
lence aimed at the men, women
and children who live there.
"The basic question is, do they
have right to make such a wit
ness to the teachings Of Jesus
Christ? And the answer is, with
out equivocation, yes. These peo-
pie are breaking no state or local
law. Had they been doing so the
law-enforcement agencies would
have arrested them long ago. On
the contrary, the Constitution of
the United States and the Consti-
tuition Of Georgia guarantee free
dom Of religion. If this freedom
is denied one group, then freedom
for all groups is in danger"

Egypt Rejects
 Proposal to Split .Suez Canal Tolls
By WILTON WYNN

CAIRO, Egypt, R m Egypt re- jects a Western Big Three propo- sal for a neutral agency to col lect Suez Canal tolls and split the proceeds with Egypt 50-50, infor- nation director Abdel Nader Ha- tenn said Saturday.
 '"The Egyptian government will not accept any such proposal be- cause it violates Egypt's rights ac- cording to the 1888 convention on the Suez Canal" Hatem said in an interview.
 The United States, Britain and France told U. N. Secretary Gen eral Dag Hammarskjold last month they favored payment of tolls to the World Bank or some other neutral international agen- cy when the canal gets back in business.
 The collection agency, under their plan, would give Egypt half the income for operating costs and keep the rest until the toll issue is finally settled. The tolls used to gross about 100 million dollars year.
 Hatem's declaration came as U. N. salvage authorities awaited assent from Cairo to final clear ance of the 1O3-mile-long water way.

Dating Dilemma

Dear Mrs. Kicker:
In your column 1 have read
about many girls and boys dating
at the age of IA and Is. 1 am a
boy of 16 and have never had q
date. Since the seventh grade I
have been slipping farther and
farther away from other people.
What is wrong with me?
How can 1 get acquainted with
girl who isn't in any Of my
classes? What does a girl ex-
pect from a boy who doesn't even
own q car? I would appreciate
your advice to help me get into
the swim of things.
ISOLATED BOY.
Dear I. B.:
results of your withdrawal from
people I am sure you must realize
that only by showing interest in
people and group activities can you
get in the swim" again.
I doubt that there is anything
wrong" with you except perhaps
you are lazy. You see, you cannot
expect people to bring fun to you.
You will have to go after it.
Only a comparatively few teen
age boys own their own cars so that
in itself should not keep you from
dating. The best way to meet
girl who is not in your classes is
through a mutual friend. Girls like
boys who are clean, polite, attentive
and good c0mnany-in other words
nice boys with good personalities.
An attractive personality, like
friends. has to be developed by your
own efforts. So go to work on it,
determined to succeed.
