In Little Rock
Hit Closing

LITTLE ROCK. Ark, Sept

Rock attorneys. including the
son of Representative Brooks
Hays, Democrat of Arkansas
have signed public statement
declaring their belief that
Little Rocks closed high schools
cannot legally be opened on a
private segregated basis.
The statement is in the form
of a paid advertisement which
will appear in Mondays edi-
lions of the Arkansas Gazette
and Arkansas Democrat. The
text was released to the press
tonight.
Gov. Orval E. Faubus closed
all four of Little Rocks high
schools in move to avoid Fed
orally forced indignation.
Gov. Faubus wants the school
board to turn over the schools
to private operators so they
could be reopened on a racially
segregated basis.
A referendum has been called
for next Saturday to let voters
decide whether schools shall be
integrated or segregated.
See "DiStastefuI" Choice
The statement said that, in
the attorneys opinion, exist
ing public school facilities of
this district cannot be legally
operated with any public funds
as segregated private schools
and, consequently the real
issue before the voters of this
district will be whether we
shall open our schools under
he court-approved plan of lin
tied indignation or close them
lltogether."
The statement went on to
urge Little Rock citizens to
join with us in an effort to
preserve free public education

The Rev. Martin Luther King,
jr., Negro leader who urges his
race to practice nonviolent re-
siStance to segregation. was
stabbed by a Negro woman in
q Harlem store today.
The woman, whom police de-
Scribed as apparently mentally

in his chest, and at first was
described as in critical condi-
ton.
However, Gov. Averell Har-
riman of New York, who rushed
to the hospital as soon as he
got word of the attack quoted
Mr.. King as saying:
I'm going to be all right
don't worry"

Soon afterward Mr.. King I'M
derwent what doctors described
as delicate surgery to remove
the weapon from his chest.
Three hours later Mr.. King
was still in the operating room.
Gov. Hartman, leaving the
hospital at 8 pm, said he had
been assured by the doctors that
Mr.. King would recover.
A crowd of about 200 persons
remained outside the hospital
entrance during the evening.
Immediately after the attack
a patrolman arrested Mr.. Kings
aSsailant, Mrs. lola Ware
Curry, AZ, as she was trying to
get into a taxicab outside the
store. A passerby quoted her as
shouting, tive been after him
for six years. I'm glad I done
it."
Detectives said she apparent
ly was a mental case, and had
a loaded pistol concealed in the
front of her dress.
Mr.. King, a leader of the
successful 1856 Negro bus boy
colt in Montgomery. Ala, was
autographing copies of his
book, Stride Toward Free
DOM" for a long line of custo-
mers in BlumStein's depart
ment store on west 125th street
when he was attacked.

Made "Nasty" Remark
Another witness. an advertis-
ing man for a Harlem news
paper, said the woman also
made what he described as a
nasty" remark about the Ma
tional Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People,
Gov. Hartman, arriving at
the hospital about an hour af-
ter the attack, said he had
been with Mr.. King at a Harlem
rally only last night and the
minister had told him:

Fire, Police
Retirement
Costs 10 Rise
Requests Squirt
Under Districts
New Benefits Law
BY JAMES G. DEANE
Star stan Writer

Liberalization OF the retire.
ment law has brought a squirt
in retirements of Washington
police and firemen, it was dis
closed yesterday.
Two hundred and twenty-one
policemen and firemen have re-
tired since enactment Of new
benefits by Congress a year ago,
officials said. This was double
the normal number.
The upswing has caused the
police department to request a
supplemental appropriation of
$325.OO0 for the present fiscal
year to meet pension require
ments. This request will pre-
sumably go to Congress in
January.
The new retirement law also
will increase the operating
budgets of the police and fire
departments substantially next
year.
Called Temporary
OfficialS consider the upswing
in the number of retirees tenn
porary. A number of those who
recently left service could have
done SO earlier but apparently
waited to take advantage of
the new benefits. A return to a
normal" level of some ITO re-
tirements yearly is expected by
next year.
The increase in pension
budgets for the two depart
mentS required next year, esti-
mates released yesterday
showed, will be $450,0 900. This
is in addition to the extra $685.
900 to be sought at the start
of the year for the police de-
partment.
The new retirement act lifted
pensions from so to 10 per cent
of base pay. 1t also lowered the
minimum retirement age IS to
20, and raised benefits to wi
dows and orphans.
Cost Estimated
Cost of pensions to the police
department is estimated at
$4,258,000 this year and $4,-
$4,000 next year. Pension cost
to the Fire Department is eSti-
mated this year at $2,402, 900
and next year at $2,54S,000.
There are now more than
1000 retired policemen and
some 500 widows and children
on the police pension rolls, and
some $50 in all categories on
the fire department list.
The total retired since enact
ment of the new law includes
las policemen and rs f1remen.
The police departments full
operating budget for next year
has been set tentatively at
S21.792, 900, an increase of So
$4,000 over this year. The fire
departments operating allot-
ment has been increased ten
tatively from $9,187. 900 to
$lO,555e00.
Includes Pay Raise
The Increases include provi-
sion for 10 per cent pay raises
recently enacted by Congress
for the two ferces.
The police also were allotted
$4,000 for remodeling the To-
year-old No. Is precinct station
at 9l0 U street NV. and
equipping the new No. 4 station
on Fourth street near E street
S.W.
The Fire Department was al
lowed 81 million for a replace
ment for the present repair
shop and Engine Co. No. 7 at
Half and M streets S.W.. and
$8l1,50O for replacement of the
present training school, which
occupies a former stable,
Both departments won in
dorsement of virtually all the
funds they requested. The al
locations still must be approved
by the District Commissioners
and Congress.

NEWPORT, r. l.. Sept. 30
The defender Columbia handed
Great Britain's Sceptre a hu-
initiating defeat today in the
opening Americas Cup race
and virtually crushed Eng
lands hope Of winning back
the priced trophy Snatched
from her shores 10F years ago.
When the white-h ulle d
American sloop shot across the
finish line in S hours. IL min
utes and SIS seconds. the British
challenger was just visible on
the horizon about three-quar-
tiers of a mile back. 1t was one
of the most one-sided races in
the history of the international
yachting classic.
Yachtsmen were almost un-
animously agreed that Britain
had faint hopes now of recov-
ering the famous old mug, and
there was good chance that
the Columbia would win the
present competition in four
straight races.
The second race in the best
of seven is scheduled Monday.
1t will be run on the triangular
course. Today's race was on
the Northumberland course
of "a miles broken into four
legs.
President Sees Start
President and Mrs. Eisen-
hover, aboard the super de-
stroyer MitScher, stayed only
long enough to watch Column
bia get off to a strong lead.
The Mitscher returned to New
port after only IS minutes, but
more than 1000 other specta-
tor boats remained to cheer on
the American entry.
After the two boats finished.
each crew gave the other a
salute of hip. hip. hooray."
There was loud blowing of
horns and Columbia's crew
grinned broadly at the wild
congratulations.
The race actually was no
real test. 1t began in a light
northerly breeze of no more
than four knots and after the
committee had set a north
south course it turned into a
reaching duel.
