Chattanooga
Counter Fight

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Feb
"a (AP).-Negro and white
youths battled in a wild slug
fest at a downtown variety
store in the latest demonstra-
ton over segregated lunch
counter seating.
Police Chief Ed Brown mo-
bilized his entire 250-man force
and called in 40 auxiliary off,
GERS after what started as a
peaceful demonstration explod-
ed into hand-to-hand combat
yesterday.
The fighting broke out after
about 80 young Negroes entered
the S. H. Kress & Co. store. A
crowd of white youths, esti-
mated by police at 400, had
been waiting for arrival of the
Negroes.
Although the lunch counter
was closed immediately, white
and Negro boys joStled for
seats. Heckling gave way to
physical contact and the push
ing, shouting swarms moved
out onto the street
Police End Melee
Police quieted the melee 80
minutes later and arrested IL
white persons and one Negro.
Chief Brown posted guards at
all schools today. Negro and

I'VE will patrol this city
diligently" Chief Brown said.
I'VE will protect its schools,
public institutions and other
property. and we will maintain
law and order"

When she came to a p,
that she list her age, Mrs.
years 8 months and 10 days
Mrs. Smith certainly nevt
one day would be examined
closely by Supreme Court
justices in an important civil
rights case.
But that's what happened
yesterday.
Mrs. Smith was one of the
1877 Negroes removed from
the voting rolls of Washington
Parish, La. in a white Citizens
Council purge"
Challenged for Errors
The Negroes were taken of
the rolls after their registra-
ton forms were challenged for
errors by members of the Citi-
zens Council.
Yesterday the Supreme
Court heard arguments on a
ruling by a United States Dis
trict Court judge in Louisiana
that removal of the Negroes
constituted massive discrim-
ination" and therefore was un-
constitutional.
Louisiana contends there was
no discrimination because of
color.
Mrs. Smiths registration
form was introduced in the
Governments brief.
Chief Justice Warren inter-
rupted Weldon A. Cousins, an
assistant attorney general in
Louisiana. to ask what was the
error in Mrs. Smiths applica-
ton.
MiScalculated Age
After some hasty figuring,
Mr.. Cousins said she miScalcu-
lated her age by one day.
One day in 70 years and for
that you take her of the rolls?"
Mr.. Warren asked.
Then a few minutes later
Mr.. Warren again interrupted
to ask:
Was she one day older or
younger"
Older" answered Mr.. Cous-
ins.
The Chief Justice pursued
the matter further.
Does the registrar have the
right or the duty to purge the
rolls of voters for such things
as are indicated here?" !
Yes" he was told.
Henry J. Roberts, jr.. another
Louisiana assistant attorney
general, told the court that
these people originally were
never qualified and should
never have been placed on the
rolls in the first case"
He explained that if three
citizens challenge a voting form
for errors. the registrar is re-
quired to accept the challenge.
Registrar Can't Calculate
If you get three people to say
that you spell Louisiana 'Luzi-
ana then the registrar has to
accept the fact that you spell it
that way" Mr.. Roberts said.
He conceded that the parish's
registrar cant calculate"
Can he vote?" Justice Black
asked.
That's not the issue" the
lawyer said.
The challenges introduced by
Solicitor General Rankin cited
such errors in the voting forms
as misspellings and incorrect
computation of age.
Mr.. Rankin noted that the
challenges themselves contained
such misspellings as "illetirate."
"illegibley" and "promiscious
mispelling."
He stated that so per cent of
all white voters registration
forms in the parish contained
similar errors. but they we're
not removed from the rolls.
Mr.. Rankin said that before /
the purge" there were 1,444
white voters registered and
1,5l7 Negroes. After the purge

Insurance
Rates 10 Drop
On Small Cars

NEW YORK, Feb. 2 (AP).-
Owners of small economy cars
will be given a 10 per cent dis
count on automobile insurance
premiums by more than 400 in
surance companies, it was an
nounced today.
The announcement was made
by the National Bureau of
Casualty Underwriters and the
National Automobile Under
writers Association, which said
they have asked insurance
supervisory authorities in 43
States to approve the discount
starting March /. Approval
will be sought in additional
States later.
A spokesman for the Cas-
ualty Underwriters here said
the discounts will apply in the
District, Maryland and Vir-
ginia, after expected accept
ance by the insurance depart
ments of those jurisdictions.
After March l, the lower
rates will be charged to COM
pact car owners for new or
renewal policies. Insurance
firms which do not belong to
the bureau probably will follow
suit, the spokesman said.
The 10 per cent discount will
apply also to two-car families
already getting Is per cent
credit, and also to families ELI
gible for the 10 per cent driver
education rate credit where
there are male drivers under
rs years of age.
The rating organizations
said they expect that expert
ence in insuring these small
and compact cars will show
lower bodily injury and prop
erty damage liability and COL
lision damage losses because of
the lower horsepower, smaller
size and weight and related
safety factors of these We
hicles."
Small cars of the sports car
type are not eligible for the dis
count, the announcement said.

Compact Car Claims
Of Economy AssoiIed

A Detroit newspaper pu b.
Usher today charged the com
promise" cars being produced
in this country are mot COM
pact and not economical COM
pared to the imports"
Phil F. DeBeaubien, pub
Usher of the Detroit Times, be-
fore the National Automobile
Dealers Association convention
at the Sheraton Park Hotel
predicted that by all reckon
ing it will be the biggest year
in the history of the industry
for the industry. But it is pos
sible that many of you may
find it a year of difficulty and
adjustment.
Rough Going Seen
Translated" he said, that
means it could be rough, man,
rough!"
The convention. which drew
an estimated 10000 persons to
Washington, closes tomorrow
Mr.. DeBeaubien was un-
merciful in his criticism of the
manufacturer, particularly in
economy claims. He attacked
some of the 40 miles to the
gallon" claims.
Nothing to it, maybe. Just
hire a professional driver and
remove his shoes and socks,
Sandpaper the soles of his feet,
balance the moving parts. Hand
lap the pistonS. Fool around
with the gear ratio. Take out
the spare tire. Turn him loose
on the test track. That's right
he'll get up to 40 miles.
But my wife is getting up to
II miles. She refuses to drive
barefoot. Both of us are over
the original shock that we do
not own an economy car"
Mr.. DeBeaubien said it was
his distinct recollection that
the industry was going to build
and claimed to have built an
economy car. Now 1t is natural
to the essentials of economy
that 1t would be a smaller car
or a compact car.
My point-and I hasten to
its that somewhere the word
Evening star., 1960-02-02

economy got lost and the word
compact was substituted. They
(the manufacturers are old
friends of mine. I know them
well. I know that they might
get caught with their sales
curve down, but they never
get caught with their adjec-
tiveS down."
The house-not the car
may have become Americas S
No. / status symbol, a Govern
ment official declared in an
other address.
Carl F. Oechsle, Assistant
Secretary of Commerce, told
the National Automobile Deal
ers Association that this is one
of the changes affecting the
Nations commerce.
Another development, he
said, is the growth in numbers
of young. educated families
which collectively possess great
buying power.
Thinking Of Utility
"In this group" Mr.. Oechsle
observed, "are our younger and
growing families. I happen tc
think that they are thinking
more in terms of utility, func-
ton and cost than of snob-
appeal or status in the pur-
chase of a car.
He forecast a bright year for
the automobile industry on the
basis of the Nations rising
economy and public reception
of new cars.

Losses on this kind of busi-

interest in this kind of business,

capital and surplus and now

Federal agency or a commercial
insurance company approved
and regulated by the State of
Maryland.
The fact that such a COM
mercial company already has
been approved and now is op-
Grating has caused considerable
nervousness in the State in
surance department where Off
cials are charged with the re-
sponsibility of administering
regulations which they say are
completely inadequate for this
type Of coverage.
Present Maryland regulations
require that an insurance COM
pany organized to write surety
bonds and other kinds of busi-
ness must have capital of at
least $250,000 and a surplus of
at least $125,O00. If these min
imum standards are met and
there is no evidence of irreg-
ularities or fraud, the depart
ment has no choice but to
approve.
Could Not Go Far
However, insurance depart
ment officials point out the
minimum surplus of SIPS, 900
would not go far in meeting
claims of savings and loan in
vestors who are told and believe
they are insured up to $4,000
or $40 900 on each account.
How far would $125,O 60 if
one very small association
failed, it has been asked. 1t
wouldn't even cover seven such
accounts to the extent of $40
600. Suppose there were 500
accounts in this association.
And what about coverage of
the thousands of other ac-
counts the commercial company
might have insured in 10 other
associations.
This kind of insurance with
out real assets sufficient to
cover any but a small portion
of the supposedly covered ac-
counts could prove a dangerous
deception and a tragic thing
for Maryland savings and loan
investors, said Insurance Com
missioner F. Douglass Sears.
