vent further violence, Gov. Pat

fact remains that State high

"The State is enforcing the

When asked why she took
part in the test, Miss Hughes
gave the following reasons:

there should be a woman on
the trip. Women can usually
minimize violence.
"And I thought that since !

NEW YORK, May 20 (AP-
Berl I. Bernhard. staff director
designate Of the United States
Civil Rights Commission, called
tonight for elimination Of
racial discrimination in sub
urbs of major Northern cities.
Mr.. Bernhard struck out also
at segregation in public schools
in Northern cities.
THE urban areas Of the
North are a crucial new from
tier of civil rights" he said
in a speech prepared for the
banquet session Of the Ameri-
can Veterans Committee Con-
vention.
Negro Growth in North
"In 1860 for the first time
a Northern State-New York
had a larger Negro population
than any Southern State.
Within the next few years, it
is expected that more than half
of our nonwhite population
will be in the North.
"The rapid increase in the
proportion of non-white popu-
lation in most of our major
Northern cities has been ac-
companied by the exodus of
younger white families from
the cities to the suburbs. Sig
nificant exclusion Of nom
whites from the burgeoning
suburbs has heightened their
disproportionate concentration
in the cities.
"The plight Of the urban
area is not simply a problem

but that civil rights restrictions

housing and other areas of
urban life produce a powerful

One member of the Freedom
Riders" Albert Bigelow, So, an
architect from Cos Cob, Conn,
was struck repeatedly as he
tried to enter the Rock Hill
Greyhound Bus Terminal.
She said she was pushed to
the ground and the ''hoodlums'
continued their beating until
the police arrived.
Bus Stopped, Riders Warned
Last Sunday, Miss Hughes
said, a white man tagged
down the bus in which she was
riding as it approached Annis-
ton, Ala.
HE warned us there was a
big mob waiting for us. He told
the driver the Admission termi-
nal was closed, but our driver,
who had no passengers to dis
charge in the town drove into
the terminal anyhow"
Later, a short distance out
Of town, she said, a large mob
Of "society's lowest elements"
surrounded the bus which had
a flat tire and threw a black
smoke bomb inside.
Several members of her
group were injured while flee

and the mob later burned their
bus.
Calls Trip Unsuccessful
Miss Hughes flew back to

Orleans. She said she tried
to recuperate at her mothers

later admitted to Georgetown

nomic advance, they will con-

Ills"
The acting staff director
said progress has been made
in school desegregation.
Segregation Seen
However, he added, "it is
common knowledge that racial
ly segregated schools exist in
all of the great cities of the
North and West where large
concentrations Of Negroes and
other minorities are found"
School boards by inaction,
Mr.. Bernhard, can create
problems of unequal educa-
tional opportunity in the North
and the West as well as in the
South.
There is a paradox here. In
the South gregation of
schools was established and
maintained by State law. For
this reason it was reached
directly by the Brown case
which held that compulsory
racial segregation in public
schools was of itself a denial
Of equal protection of the law.
by contrast, in the North,
proving that segregation is the
result Of official action Is diff
cult indeed. Rarely have COM
pulsory segregation laws been
in effect.
Thus, in the North, unless
one can show overt action, the
only way to reach segregation
is to prove specifically the
inferiority Of the segregated
school in teacher-pupil ratio,
teaching staff or other tangible
factors

through an aide saying, "1
will not allow any group to
take the law in their hands. !"
He added:
I'VE are fully able to en-
force the laws of this State"
The statement was issued at
2 pm, shortly after a third
wave Of race rioting in Mont
gomery had subsided.
Text OF Statement
The statement in full:
IT have no sympathy for law
violators whether they be agita-
tors from outside Alabama or
inside the State trouble
makers. It is our duty to main
tain the law, and I will not
allow any group to take the law
in their hands. The good name
Of our State and people Is at
stake, and I can state frankly
that violence of any type will
not be tolerated"
"The highways Of Alabama
are safe, and State patrolmen
will do all in their power to
enforce law and order at all
times. We have the men, the
equipment and the will to keep
the public peace and we need
no help - from the Federal
Government, from interested
citizens or anyone else.
1--WE are fully able to enforce
the laws of this State. I have
ordered the State Department
Of Public Safety to cooperate
fully with all city police de-
partments and county sheriffs'
offices in maintaining order on
the highways and elsewhere in
the State. We will honor any
request from these law enforce
ment agencies for assistance.
Hits "Rabble Rousers"
"While we will do our utmost
to keep the public highways
clear and to guard against all
disorder, we cannot escort bus
loads or carloads Of rabble rous-
ers about our State from city
to city for the avowed purpose
Of disobeying our laws, flaunt-
Ing our customs and traditions
and creating racial incidents.
"Such unlawful acts serve
only to further enrage our pop
ulace. I have no use for these
agitators or their kind.
"Yet, we have the duty and
the desire to protect human
lives no matter who is involved,
to safeguard personal property
and to keep order. How we will
do so is a matter for us to
determine.
1--WE are a peaceful, hoSpit-
able God-fearing people and
we welcome visitors from all
other States. They can travel
In Alabama secure in the knowl-
edge that we have one Of the
best law-enforcement records in
the Nation. We intend to keep
this recognition"

Soviet Reply to Peace Plan Offers Hope
 Through Negotiations

PALM BEACH R - President Kennedy said today the Soviet reply to Britain's peace plan for Laos "offers hope that way can be found to establish neutral and independent Laos through ne- gotiations.
 In a statement, the President said further that while the Soviet answer contains certain reser- vations with which we cannot agree" the reply appears to be a useful next step toward peace full settlement of a potentially dangerous situation.'
 Kennedy's statement, issued after he had studied the text of the Soviet note to Britain, made no mention of a cease-fire in Laos step which both the United States and Britain have called for as a necessary first step.
 Asked whether the Soviet note itself had dealt with the cease fire matter, White House Secre- tary Pierre Salinger noted that Secretary of State Dean Rusk - after a conference here earlier with the vacationing President - had asserted that the Russian re- ply does deal with the cease-fire question.
 But Rusk refused to provide any detail. And Salinger said he would not go beyond the position Rusk took on the matter.
 q am not going to get into this note itself," Salinger said.
