Zoo Keeper Dies,
Smokes Escape

GIBSONTON. Fla. Mar. 16
(AP).-The operator of a zoe
died today soon after being
found on the ground a short
distance from where a 22-foot
boa constructor and poisonous
cobra escaped from a cage.
THE victim, Alfred Henley
SO, died en- route to a hospital
in Tampa.
Sheriff's deputies found the
huge snake in a tree near the
ZOO. The cobra had not been
located.
Deputies said the only mark
on Mr.. Henley's body was a
smear of blood on one hand
They theorized that the boa
a powerful but non-poisonouS
snake, may have wrapped him.
self around the keeper and
crushed him or that Mr.. Hen
icy was bitten by the deadly
cobra.
Firemen kept a watch on the
boa while authorities debated
how to go about returning the
reptile to its cage.

has its own.
What disturbS the House unit
even more. however, is the fact
that Government wage boards
in a particular area will set a
different scale of pay for iden-
tical types of jobs. For example,
a Navy machiniSt in a particu-
lar locale may be getting either
a higher salary or a lower one,
as the case may be, than an
Army machinist doing the same
kind of work.
The House unit feels that
there should be one co-ordi-
mated wage board unit in the
Government to supervise the
setting of pay scales for Gov
eminent per diem workers. This
would prevent injuStices to var
ious groups Of employees and
assure fairness and equity for
all in the matter of pay, the
House group feels.
Realizing that living cost,
vary from section to section
throughout the country, the
House unit has no illusion;
about achieving standard pay
for all wage board workers
even though this is what hap
pens in the case of classified
| employees whose salaries are SCI
by Congress. But the Houst
group does feel it is practicable
and desirable to achieve a uni,
form standard scale of pay TO,

The East German news

United States troops are not
under NATO command while

stationed in the divided city
are under its direct command
and are not NATO forces.
In Berlin, meanwhile, the

announced that it is putting
up customs barriers at the
seven crossing points through
the wall dividing East and
West Berlin. 1t said they were
'in the interest of orderly bor-
der traffic"
The ministry said poles would
extend across the narrow pas
sageways and that allied mill

to pass through automatically
while civilians would be re-
quired to show Identification.

The tragedy Of the So
called Freedom Riders is not
written in the headlines or in
the news dispatches about
the riots in the South or in
the television presentations in
which Negro preachers utter
slogans of defiance and
Southern officials insist on
the law as they see it.
The real story is in the
hearts of men and women
Negroes and whites-as a pro-
found change takes place in
normal relations between the
two groups.
Letters from people in the
South tell of the sad results
of agitation-the steady at
triton of the good feeling
that has hitherto prevailed
and the sudden rise of antag-
oniSm and hostility.
1t is all very well to theorize
about the decades of discrim-
nation involved in Segrega-
ton practices, but attempts to
change social customs by in
element to violence cannot
but leave a regrettable i'm
print on the lives of people
who must continue to live in
those same communities.
Oddly enough, the country
is witnessing the curious be-
havior Of some demonstra-
tors who happen to be study
ing for the ministry or are al
ready ordained ministers.
They move in the forefront of
the Freedom Rider activities
or declaim in nearby pulpitS.
In terms of bitterness they
exhort the Negro populace to
take so-called measures of
'nonviolence." 1t is strange
to hear the vocabulary of
combat and coercion being

Human Tragedy in the South

you can quickly learn Just
how angry a human being
can get-and although you
are not yourself the sort Of
person who goes berSerk, you
can understand the one who
does.
There are many other
places, and times, but let me
try to make you see what is
a daily, hourly occurrence.
You wait at the stop for the
trolley. AS it slows, Negroes
with only the barest differ
ence between a push and a
'shove'-brush you aside in
clumsy haste to show their
equality by getting on ahead
of you. When you get on,
there is a Negro on each seat,
all down both sides, and every
Negro bursting with zeal,
their eyes glimmering, a grin
on each face as they wait for
your move. You Stand-after
all, it's a free country and the
law which says they can sit
by you hasn't yet said that
you have to sit by them. Then
it starts. The Snickers, the
Snide remarks across the aisle
or to the opposite end of the
car. And every one of them
aimed at you. On and on and
on. How much of it can you
take?
Various provocative re-
marks are made - they are
common enough - and also:
We showed them in Con-
golia. We're gonna show them
here. We're gonna have a
Congolia of our own right
here. They'll learn

the gradual change which has
taken place in myself but it

these demonstrators and the
continual nagging OF the

I do not condone violence,
but ! have learned to under
stand it, and that is knowl-
edge I would give anything
not to have"
These words emphasize the
dilemma Of the hour, ire
spective of the constitutional
issues involved in the contro-
verSy.
