BufaIino Loses
On Deporting

Russell Bufalino. who the
Justice Department said at
tended the 1857 crime conven-
ton" at Apalachin. N. Y, has
lost a District Court battle. to
avoid deportation to Italy.
Judge Edward A. Tamm yes
terday granted a summary
Judgment for the Government
on Bufalino's claim that immi-
gration officials had been arbi-
srary in rejecting his applica-
Ion for permanent residence.
Bufalino. 81, of Kingston
Pa, had commended that the
immigration officials prejudged
his request to stay here be-
cause of his involvement in the
Apalachin incident.
He also argued that he was
denied a fair opportunity to
show he would be prosecuted
if deported. He said that per-
sons deported to Italy could
not get jobs and were harassed
there.
Bufalino said through law
yerS that he came to this coun-
try as a small child. His de-
portation was ordered in 1858,
partly because he lacked proper
papers for a Bahamas fishing
trip.
In 1860, the Second Circuit
Court of appeals threw out the
conviction of Bufalino and Is
others for conspiracy to OBJ
struct justice and commit per-
jury in testimony about Apa-
lachin.
The appellate court said
there was insufficient evidence.
The Government. in it's pro-
ceedings to send Bufalino to
Italy. maintained that it still
could consider the fact that he
had been unco-operative.
Attorney David Gardner said
he plans to appeal yesterdays
decision against Bufalino.

Mrs. Polly Shackleton, repre-
senting the District Democratic
Central Committee, said the
Districts plans for relocating
families displaced by the prof.
ect were "half-baked."
Some 10,680 people will be
displaced by the East Leg and
Northeast Freeway projects,
and an additional 1887 people
will be displaced by Inter-
change c, Mrs. Shakleton said.
There are some 10000 people
on waiting lists for public hous-
ing, she noted, streSsing that
these statistics deal with a
present shortage, not with 1875,
1880 or the year 1000.
Question by Matthias
Representative Matthias, Re-
publican of Maryland, said he
thought the Districts approach
was very sympathetic"
What is your solution to the
relocation profile m?" Mr..
Matthias asked.
Mrs. Shackleton said the
Central Relocation Service pro-
posed by the District was a
good approach, but that it was
not a long-range solution.
Mr.. Matthias asked if public
housing "for all those people"
should be built before any con-
Struction was started for high
ways.
Mrs. Shackleton said that
highway projects might be de-
ferred or the routes for some

The Rev. Richard D. Thomp-

ported that more than $4,000
had been raised last year in the
Baltimore Conference area to
buy animals for shipment to
the Santa Cruz section OF

The animals, he said, were

Mr.. Thompson, pastor of the

Living Tribute Proposed
For Wilson Memorial

A living memorial to Wood
row Wilson rather than a
monument seemed to find favor
at the first meeting today of
the group trying to decide the
question.
Discussion at the organiza-
tional meeting of the Woodrow
Wilson Memorial Commission
was heavily weighted along
these lines.
In throwing out ideas, four
of the six members present sug-
gested useful buildings or muse
ums based on the following
themes: American history, in
ternational exchange of ideas
and people, and peace.
Only one member questioned
whether a living memorial
might lose its identity with
e. President Wilson, but he did
not specifically suggest a mon
ument.
Submits Suggestions
Senator Williams, Democrat
of New Jersey, who sponsored
the resolution which created
the Commission last October,
turned over to the group the
many suggestions he has
received. They ranged from
memorials "of the majesty of
the Washington, Jefferson and
Lincoln memorials and monu-
inents" to a museum of gov
ornamental arts and sciences, -
he told the commission meeting
at the Interior Department.
After reading them. the Sem
ator said he was in "a high
state of confusion" as to what
would be best. Whatever we
do is bound to be controversial"
the Senator said.
Dean Francis B. Sayre, jr.,
of the Washington Cathedral,
a grandson of President Wilson,
was elected chairman; Senator
Williams. vice chairman. and

Non-VioIent Protest
Held Strong Reformer

Non-violent protest is 6

Howard University professor
said yesterday.
DR.. William S. Nelson, vice
president for special projects
at the university, urged men,
bers of the Association of For
mer InternS and Residents OF
Freedmen's Hospital to support
the non-violent moveme n
which seeks to break down "a
cial barriers by peacefully
defying custom and law.
DR.. Nelson was the guest
speaker at the 40th annual
luncheon meeting of the asso-
citation. He said that non.
violent protests against the
evils of segregation are valic
approaches to the problem.
"Non-violence labors in be-
half of the universal ethic as
opposed to the tribal ethic,

which believes that when the

said in describing non-violent
protest movements. Many
young people have gone to pris-

police because they followed
the dictates of their conscience
Because of this, improvements

of the world to bring about
change. On the other hand,
the universal ethic teaches the
fatherhood of God and the
brotherhood Of man, he said.
There is no violence connected
with the universal ethic, DR..
Nelson said.
The non-violent approach to
problems of racial segregation
in America, he said, has been
evident in the Sit-in demonstra-
tionS and the Freedom Rides.
They have pierced the
hearts of many and they have
opened doors which have been
closed" DR.. Nelson said. I'VE
