Charleston Public
Library Integrcfes
Without Trouble

Charleston, s. c. (ANP) - The
facilities of the Charleston County
Library - which moved to a new
site on Marion Square a few weeks
ago are being used by Negro and
white citizens on a widely inte-
grated basis.
The change has taken place
quietly, and apparently without in
cident. Library officials declined to
comment for publication. They also
declined to concede that there had
been any change in racial policy.
Their unofficial position ap-
peared to be that there had been
a certain amount Of Indignation at
the old library and that while the
degree of Indignation might have
changed, the policy itself remained
the same.
It is a fact, however, that Ne
groes are appearing at the new
building in far larger numbers than
appeared at the old site.
At the old building Negroes oc-
casionally used the reading rooms,
but their presence was the excep-
ton rather than the rule.
At that time, and over recent
years, an unofficial understanding
appeared widespread among lib
rary users Of both races. It result
ed in the main library becoming in
effect a white" library. Negroes
were expected generally to use
branch facilities located closer to
areas where most of them reside.
The new location Is closer to
predominantly Negro residential
areas than was the old site.

"Sif-In" Movement
Legality Before
US. Supreme Court

washington (ANPJ - The sit
in movement, which was declared
by the Associated Negro Press to
be the nations number one story
for 1860, has provoked a legal
question which was placed before
the United States Supreme Court
last week.
Attorneys for the NAACP filed
three petitions at the court and
said the cases In question raise
this fundamental issue:
May the State use its power to
compel racial segregation in priv
ate establishments which are open
to the public and to stifle protests
against such segregation"
Challenge Conviction OF Students
The lawyers are challenging the
conviction Of Is Negro students
for sitting at a lunch counter in
Baton Rouge, La. This marks the
first time legal tests arising from
the sit-in campaign in the South
have reached the high tribunal
Counsel, terming the cases one
"of widespread public Importance, "
said they could set a precedent for
pending prosecutions of sit-in DEM
onstrators in eight other states.
The Louisiana students were con-
victed Of disturbing the peace"
Each was sentenced to four months
in Jail, with the proviso that three
months of the sentence would be
suspended on payment Of a 500
fine and costs. They are free pend
ing appeal.
The Louisiana cases are differ
ent from some other sit-in tests
and more favorably situated legal
ly for the Negro MISUNDERSTANDING
there is no charge Of trespass.
Police Press Charges
That Is, the stores management
did not ask to have the students
prosecuted as trespassers. Accord
ing to the petition, the arrests were
solely a police idea. Thus there is
no conflict in the cases between
the students right and the prop
erty rights Of the store.
What the students were convict
ed of violating was a Louisiana
statue that makes 1t a crime to
act "in such a manner as to I'M
reasonably disturb or alarm the
public" The State courts found
that the continued presence of the
Negro students at the white
counter might have caused such
alarm.
Convictions "UncOnstitutionap
The petitions in the Supreme
Court say the convictions were I'M
constitutional on any of four
grounds as follows:
/. They say there was no evid-
ence of any public disturbance or
alarm. The court held Just last
year in a case involving a Louis
Vile man that convicting a man
of lettering and disturbing the
peace without any evidence denied
him due process Of law.
2. The statue Is attacked as un-
constitutionally vague.
8. The arrests and convictions
are said to be unconstitutional re-
strictions on freedom Of expression
4. The petitions say the arrests
were an unconstitutional method

Ga. Politicians Dispute
Over Who INTERVIEWED
I'm Kinq Case

Atlanta CAMP - Still in the
new0 this week are the famous
telephone calls that are credited
with diverting the Negro vote to
make John F. Kennedy the next
president of the United States.
Atlanta Mayor William B. Harris
field who last week said he in
stigated the telephone call that led
to freeing DR.. Martin Luther King,
Jr., from Jail where he was sent on
an old traffic violation charge, had
a contender for the honor this
week.
In a copyrighted story, the At
lanta Journal reported it was
George D. Stewart, state Demo
cratic secretary, who got credit
for aiding in getting King out of
Jail.
Hartsfield replied:
THE decision that Sen. Kennedy
publicly align himself with the
King case came about after calls
made by me to the Kennedy cam
paign committee.
81 told them of the floods of
kilograms being received here from
Negro organizations throughout
the North and gave it as my opin-
ion that they would get more sup
port in the North than they would
lose in the South.
At that time, DR.. King was in
Fulton County Tower.
II told them that the important
thing was to have Sen. Kennedy
Immediately and publicly align
himself with the troubles of Dr.
King before the Republicans had
a chance to do SO.
THE national committee correct
ly made this decision, taking a
calculated risk in alternating some
Southern support. But, as it later
developed, the tremendous last
minute surge of Negro votes in
the North decided the election"
The Journals story said it was
Stewart who suggested to DeKalt
Judge Oscar Mitchell that the
Judge hint to reporters that Bobby
Kennedy had interviewed.

Gainsborouq|l
In Junk Shop

LONDON, Aug. 9 (AP).-At
the age of 81, Sir Albert Rich
ardson possesses a sharp eye
so sharp he says he spotted a
Gainsborough painting in a
junk shop and bought it for
next to nothing.
"The painting was stacked
with a heap of Others" he said
yesterday. 1T was shabby and
all covered with dust, but I
recognized it as the real thing
at once"
Thomas Gainsborough Q727-
1881 was one of the first and
greatest masters of the English
school.
Gainsborough's paintin G S
have brought as much as $685.
900. Sir Albert's find-which
is an oil sketch-could be worth
$140, 900, art experts said.
Uses Ones Eyes
Il won't say where I found
my treasure" said Sir Albert,
a past president of Britain's
Royal Academy of Art. "One
goes out and uses ones eyes.
The picture is 2 feet by l
foot 8 inches. He found it last
week.
"Gainsborough probably did
1t in a couple of hours at Bath
in about 1903" said Sir Albert.
1.-The style is clearly recog-
nizable, with the brush
strokes characteristic of Gains
borough"
Asked if he told the Junk
dealer that the painting was a
Gainsborough, Sir Albert re-
piled:
"Of course not. Why should
I? I packed it in the boot
(trunk) of my car and drove
home frightfully pleased,
Sketch in Oils
The sketch in oils, he said, is
probably of Gainsborough'S two
daughters, Mary and Margaret.

Evening star., 1961-08-09

JERUSALEM, Aug. 9 (AP)
Adolf Eichmann's true form
and image" as a man with a
lust to kill Jews is clear beyond
doubt from testimony in his
16-week trial, Israel Attorney
General Gideon Hausner de-
clared today.
Mr.. HauSner. continuing his
summation of the prosecu-
tion's case against the chief of
the Gestapo's Jewish affairs
section, charged Eichmann even
appealed against orders from
Hitler'S headquarters to let up
in the relentless slaughter to-
ward the end of World War II.
THE lust to send Jews to
their deaths, even though he
was not ordered to do so at
the time, offers us a picture of
the true Eichmann," Mr..
HauSner said: His true form
and image rises before us be-
yond a shadow of doubt in the
testimony from witnesses and
from accessories still alive
which has been presented
here"
The three judges trying
Eichmann as a criminal ac-
complice in the Nazi massacre
of an estimated 6 million
Jews listened gravely as the
prosecutor slashed at Eich-
mann's plea that he was only
a minor official in the SIS ap-
paratus.
"The Master Himself"
Mr.. Hausner recalled that
when Eichmann was dispatched
to Hungary toward the end of
the war to expedite the de-
portation of Jews to the death
camp, his SIS superiors-in-
cluding Heinrich Himmler-
referred to Eichmann as "the
master himself"
Eichmann in his defense
claimed he went to Hungary
only to look into the matter OF
train timetables.
This claim collapses like a
house of cards in the face of
evidence presented here" Mr..
Hausner asserted.
Recalling documentary evil
dence that Himmler passed on
orders from Hitler for a letup
in the program in order to i'm
prove Nazi Germany's bargain
ing position with the allies, Mr..
Hausner declared:
"Eichmann even appealed
against this order, so Unsuitable
was his desire to ship Jews to
the gas chambers.
Mr.. Hausner charged Eich-
mann dispatched one deporta-
ton train to Auschwitz in en-
ragged defiance of Hungary's
puppet regent, Admiral Nichol-
as Horthy, who had ordered
deportations halted.
Grim Warning Recalled
What obstacles must have
been overcome by the master
to get enough trains to trans
port his victims at a time when
the German army, fighting for
its life, needed every possible
vehicle" Mr.. Hausner said.
Ridiculing Eichmann's claim
that he had no power to act
on his own, Mr.. Hausner re-
minded the judges of testimony
from witnesses who told OF a
grim warning the Gestapo lieu
tenant colonel once gave lead
ers of the Budapest Jewish
community.

the New York legislator said:
"a survey of 80 universities
and colleges in the United
States has spotlighted the need
for expanding and improving
programs to prepare students
for Government or civilian work
abroad-programs that would
prove indispensable to the prep

He pointed to three major
survey conclusions:
/. The national need for
people with knowledge in fields
related to international affairs
is not being met.
2. Specialized programs pre-
pairing students for work abroad
should be further developed
at both the graduate and I'M
dergraduate levels.

similar loans to private elemen-
tary and high schools.
The Secretary said there is
a "difinite difference" in the
two situations. He said there
was no compulsory attendance
requirement at the college
level, that religious instruc-
ton played a relatively minor
part In the curriculum of
church-connected colleges, and
that there was q long tradition
Of Government aid to private
colleges.
AS a practical matter, Mr..
Ribicoff added, the country
couldn't possibly" meets its
higher education needs without
encouraging the growth Of
private colleges.
