Justice Douglas Raps High Dam

The proposed River Bend
Dam on the Potomac River
has drawn fire from a Su-
preme Court justice, while
t h e Montgomery County
Planning Board has shown
it believes the proposal is
only a remote possibility.
Justice William o. Douglas
said the dam would "inundate
some of our loveliest valley and
river bottom lands in the area
and substitute for their beauty
the sinking banks of a muddy
reservoir"
The planning board reversed
a ruling by its staff and chief
land engineer in deciding the
dam is such a remote posi-
bility that builder T o. s
Coleman can go ahead with
plans for IS 100000 homes on
River I'd. two miles west of

in favor of builder Coleman.

Dixie Negro NOT
Eager For Jail; Has
No Alternative

Detroit (ANP) - Those who
have been arrested are not eager
to go to Jail, but they can no long
er tolerate conditions, so they offer
their bodies" a field director of
the Southern Leadership Confer
ence said here last week.
Speaking in place of DR.. Martin
Luther King, who had Just been
released from an Albany, Ca, Jail,
Rev. Andrew J. Young saw the in
tegrationists 60-day suspended
sentence as a sign Of hope but
not a solution.
He said that though Negroes
have heard words Of freedom for
the past century, they still are
held in virtual slavery in many
parts of the South.
Albany" said Rev. Young" is
the symbol Of the disenfranchised
South where the Negro has
heard words Of freedom for 100
years but has not been able to
take advantage Of them"
The Negro population is held in
virtual slavery, the minister de-
clared. Granted that the shaclles
and bonds Of slavery have been
removed" he said, there is today
subtle and contrived slavery -
the shackles and bonds Of the
mind"
Economic boycotts used success
fully in large cities, notably Mont
gomery, Ala, will not work In AL
bany, the field director said, be-
cause the Negroes there, who COM
prise 40 per cent of the population,
lack sufficient buying power.
Instead" said Rev. Young, "a
passive resistance movement Is
being tried"
When they are arrested, "they
know what kind Of cells they are
going into, and that they will lose
their jobs, but they are willing to
make the sacrifice"
He said Rev. King was locked in
solitary confinement in a steel
cage while the outside tempera-
lures ranged from 90 to 103 de-
grees.

In a similar cell and that 81 others
