form of communication between
the races? I went with that ques-
ton to Carl Bear, a leading Mont
gomery businessman and an Of
fetal of the Chamber of Commerce.
White Supremacist Speaks
Mr.. Bear is a middle-aged man
whose hair is turning to a distin-
guished steel-gray, and whose
broad shoulders, firm jaw and thin,
straight-set mouth, combine with
his deliberate manner to convey
an impression Of rocklike soldity,
Mr.. Bear looks like the kind of a
man who, if he ever played full
back, would not even bother to
look for holes in the line when
he carried the ball. I began to ask
him some questions, and before an
swering he told me to put my note
book and pencil away. He said
that after we talked I could write
out some questions If wished AND
he would write out the answers
and send them to my hotel. The
essence Of his Standard that Of
so many of his fellow white bus
inessmen and community leaders
is most clearly summed up If

They were apprehended under a
new city statute that makes any
action calculated" to disturb the
peace a crime; of course the ar
resting officers and the judge and
jury decide what type of action is
so Calculated" This statute is the
new weapon the city has devised
to help maintain its complex GUS
toms Of segregation. Before this,
the city had passed a series Of
statutes outlawing a number Of
specific types Of race mixing-for
instance, the playing of checkers
or dominoes by Negroes and whites
but revoked them this year in
the fear that they would be found
unconstitutional by higher courts.
1t is felt that the new statute on
action calculated" to disturb the
peace can cover such threats to the

domino games, and at the same
time have a better chance Of
standing up If challenged consti-
tutionally, for it makes no specific
mention Of race.
So another piece of chewing
gum is stuck in the dixie that holds
back the threatening tide. The
segregationist may now sleep cas-
Ter, knowing that a white man
who sits down to have a ham
sandwich with a Negro can be
arrested and sent to jail for dis
turbing the peace. But isn't there
any reason for alarm, even for
the white segregationist, as he
sees the walls between the races
rise higher? Montgomery is a city
of 10000 whites and $4,000 Ne
groes; a city whose recent years
have been SCARED by bombings
and recently threatened by a mob
and whose Negro leaders have
pledged their continuing fight fol
an equality whose realization stirf
many whites to violence. Isn't II

4 An i8-year-old high school
student from wise
sWathed from head to toe in
casts and bandages, woke up
two years ago in a Washington
hospital.
"I didn't know where I was
or anything" recalled Philip
Johnson, now 20 and a gas
station attendant in Florence,
Wis.
TT was 81 days after the ac-
cident, and I didn't remember
q thing" he said.
His mother filled him in: He
fell four stories to the side
walk from. his room in down.
town Washington. His bones
were broken in 26 places.
It was a tragic end for Philips
visit to Washington with the
senior class of his high school.
II didn't even have inSur-
ance," he remembered the other
day.. Other sources, he said,
contributed the $4,000 which
his medical care eventually
cost.
Insurance Man Acts
The incident shocked many
WaShingtonians. Among them
was q young insurance execu-
tive, Thomas L. Hume w, a
fourth-generation Washingto-
rlian.
II couldn't get it out of my
mind" he recalled. "I guess
it was the accident that pre-
cipitated my thoughts, and led
me to wonder what its effect
would be on the tourist busi-
ness"
He inquired Of various Wash
i1yton sources what kind of
insurance coverage most young
sters have when they visit the
capital with their schoolmates.
None, for the most part, he
Was told.
Mr.. Hume decided to fill the
Soid. He spent eight months
discussing his proposal with
educational authorities, medical
societies, travel agents, the
Convention and Visitors Bureau |
and insurance officials.

to them personally.
The returns trickled in slowly
at first. but gained momentum
all the time.
In the last few weeks, Mr..
Hume noted, his firm-the Ma
tional Student Tour Insurance
Service, 416 Tower Building
issued more policies than it
did all last year.
I'VE are signing up 1000
students a week now," he said,
amounting to $2.5 million a
week in potential BENEFITS"
Although coverage is limited
to educational tour groups, Mr..
Hume is aiming to diversity his
| fledgling business by EXTEND
ing it to overseas trips and off,
season travel BY school groups.
Lots of schools now require
travel to certain places like the
United Nations" he said. "And
most colleges have groups
travelling all the time to bowl
games. concert appearances and
field trips"
Covers Tourists Too
This year, for example, his
poltcies-issued by two Nation
wide insurance firms - will
cover tourists not only through
out the United States but in
Europe and Asia as well. One
such group will be travelling to
the Soviet Union, the 31-year-
old executive said.

tell them to call or cable us

hopes to establish Offices
abroad.
Assisted by a secretary, his
wife and his father, Thomas L.
Hume, ST.. Mr.. Hume super
vises an operation that deals
not only with the issuance of
policies but also the review of
claims.
Claims from Wide Area
So far. he said, the firm has
approved payments to claims |
for injuries sustained practi-
cally coast to coast. In Truth
or Consequences, N. Mex, 35
students were injured when a
bus overturned, and in New

youth was reimbursed for the
medical treatment he received

Would Restore 81 Million
Franklin Floete, General
Services Administrator, asked
a Senate Appropriations sub
committee to restore the 81
million for the court building
yesterday.
The Appropriations Commit
tee can't act unless the Public
Works Committee approves.
Mr.. Floete indicated the

asked to "reauthorize" a new

west Of Lafayette square.

been granted by Congress for
this office. originally to house

After the grant. the General
Services Administration decided
to move the Court of Claims
across the park to a courthouse
of its own.
The double approval required
for Federal buildings from both

caused Mr.. Floete a lot of
extra paper work. Congress,
at the same time, has been
able to keep a closer check
on large outlays for construc-

Typical was Mr.. Floete's bid

These buildings were stricken

after the Public Works Com
mittee there failed to authorize
them. Now, works committees
on both sides of Congress have
