ATLANTA, Aug. 16 (AP)-
Wally Butts, former Georgia
football coach, ended testimony
in his $40 million libel suit with
a solemn declaration that he
had told the truth in denying
game-rigging charges by a ma
tional magazine.
Closing arguments by attor-
neys began today, with the
case scheduled to go to the
jury Monday after a weekend
recess.
Butts was recalled briefly
yesterday and asked if he had
told the truth.
THAT is the truth, SIR" he
replied.
Denies Betrayal
The 58-year- old former ath-
letic director at Georgia said
last Friday and again Monday
that he never betrayed his
football team. He sued because
of a Saturday Evening Post ar
ticle which said he fed Georgia
team secrets to Coach Paul
BEAR Bryant of Alabama.
The Post charged that Butts
and Bryant rugged and fixed
the 1862 Georgia Alabama
game which Alabama won. $50
After Butts left the witness
stand, his attorney, William H.
Schroeder, jr., said quietly:
THAT is our case, your honor"
"And we have completed ours,
your honor" Welborn B. Cody,
chief counsel for Curtis, quickly
responded.
81 Witnesses Heard
The conclusion of evidence
came at 4:03 pm, nine days
after the trial opened. Thirty
four witnesses, including two
university presidents, have
given testimony that covered
about 40 hours.
Both sides quickly moved for
directed verdicts and the no.
tons were promptly denied by
Judge Lewis r. Morgan.
The judge told Schroeder to
prepare a charge to the jury
on his contention that testi-
mony about gambling or al
legged gambling by two of Butts
friends be excluded.
Preceding Butts to the stand
was DR.. Frank A. Rose, presi-
dent of the University of
Alabama.
Rose was questioned at length
about a letter he had written
to DR.. o. c. Aderhold, Univer-
sity of Georgia president.
In the March 6 letter, Rose
said Bryant got information
about Georgia football plays
from Butts.
These were 'techniques, '"
Rose said.

vantages OF going elsewhere.

VdnLaSeS Oh going elsewhere
It's all about the sales tax. Our fellow states
are taking advantage of us, says the Tribune.
Travellers from Minnesota shell out to support
other states health, education, and welfare-2, 3
and per cent whatever they buy Travellers to
Minnesota get off scot free: they pay not cent for
anything they don't get
This is bad? This is something we want to
change? This is advantage other states that
want to give up? This is tourist attraction that
we don't want to keep? This is a retail commercial
attraction that want to destroy? How ridiculous
There a time when Minnesotan visiting
in Chicago might be attracted to Chcago's attrac-
tive stores and shops for shopping spree of size
able proportions. Maybe one still is but II so
he must be prepared to pay five per cent penalty
(The Tribune missed percentage point there. Chi
cagoans have to pay IS sales tax every 500
they spend). We suspect that nowadays it is more
likely that the Chicagoan visiting Minnesota might
be attracted to stores and Shops and that this
five per cent advantage might be at least part Of
the attraction.
We say, let Chicago take its per cent. We
prefer to have the vacationers from all over the
country. And they will be welcome to spend their
money in Minnesota stores and shops without any
penalty whatever.

Mass Media Hides
Part Whites Play
In Demonstrations

Mass media, the press, newsgathering services,
radio and TV have common fault in reporting the
racial demonstrations against discrimination which
are going on thruout the nation. Despite the inter-
racial character of many demonstrations particpat
ed in by both whites and Negroes the media usually
indicate that the events are Negro Demonstra-
tons"
This goes even TV newscasts when the
cameras reveal that many Of the protest marchers
are whites, who are marching alongside Negroes
against the practices of racial discrimination and
oppression This must confuse many viewers who
know Negroes from whites when they see them and
may be at loss when the broadcasters call the
marches demonstrations by Negroes"
There is tendency when the presence of
whites among the demonstrators Is reported to play
down their presence except when some noted white
churchman is arrested as happened in the Maryland
amusement park demonstrations of few days ago.
This country can take comfort that even before
the nation was ten years old there whites with
the moral courage to denounce slavery and mans
inhumanity to In all Of the hue and cry of the
black nationalsts for American Negroes to embrace

men and women who believe so firmly in human
equality that they willing to brave DEATH impris-
onment, rdicule and ostracism to demonstrate

discrimination.
These factors either overlooked or neglected
by the newsgatherers for media in the US,
which should be presented part Of the total story
and coverage of the domestic racial crisis which
faces this country.
St. Paul recorder., 1963-07-11
Bureaucracy
Assume Powers

An instructive lesson in how governmental
bureaucracy assume powers which it does not
rghtfuly have and even take over the legisla-
tive powers of Congress is to be found In ruling
Of the Small Business Administration which recently
came to light.
The SBA has decreed that cooperatives are not
entitled to SBA loans This decree Is totally without
foundation authority in the statutes passed by
Congress. It has been issued purely the basis Of
assumption Of powers by an SBA administrative
bureaucrat.
This means, for example, that much Of the rural
economy Of our country, now undergoing revolu-
ton which Is taking millions Of people out Of agrcu
ture is deprived Of government help through SBA
to establish agricultural processing industries close
to the homes Of those being displaced by agr1cul-
ture. This deprivation means that a good deal Of
rational planning win be taken out of the process
of developing rural industry and jobs. The process
will be hit-or-niss basis We do not believe that
this is what Congress intended.
The SBA's decree Is discriminatory and unfair
in other ways. For example, half dozen enterpris-
ers getting together to establish super-market can
qualify for government finance. Half a thousand
enterprsers getting together to do the thing in
the place cannot, If their objective is to
themselves on a cost basis instead Of to
body else at profit.
This is ridiculous. The SBA has assumed powers
it has no right to assume Perhaps Congress ought
to do something about 1t.

with the bombing, by the presence
of an "NAACP officiaP' at the
scene which was duly recorded by

unfortunate, because it placed that
worthwhile organization in the
minds of many people who read
newspapers carelessly and glance
not too closely at TV, the impress
sion that the NAACP was in some
way connected with the bombings

would decide to take up a collec-
tion for the two officers before
"the smoke had cleared away"
The gesture itself was a good
one, but was it not tll-timed? It
was certainly most embarrassing
to the Negro community in view
Of all that has happened during
the past few weeks.
Had there been an emergency
created as the result of the bomb
ings, or bodily injury or some
proof that a member or members
of the Negro community was in
volved in the crime, the actions of
the two pastors would have been
fully justified.

always been depended upon to
understand victims Of any wrong
doing because he has so often been
the object of oppression himself.

local law enforcement agencies as
to who committed the bombings
rather than to commit a portion
of the Negro community to a fund

sumption of a guilt that nobody
has charged the community with.

A Civil Rights Line
That Won't Work

Any enlightenment get on the men-
hghtened and altogether confused COP line on civil
rights is welcome Senator Thruston Morton, the
Republican Whip and a top policy-maker contribut-
ed to the enlightenment Meet the Press" two
Sundays ago. Enlightenment that is 30 say not of
COP policy but of what that policy is.
It's still unenhghtened, confused, benighted and
unacceptable to anybody who has the least concern
for civil rights. Even Senator Morton does not seem
to know what the Republican policy is on the issue.
He thinks maybe they will reject the Administra-
tons legislation which Is based upon the Commerce
clause of the Constitution in favor Of line support
ing legislation based on the Fourteenth Amendment
but then again maybe not.
They will reject the Commerce clause approach
If they do, because People are not commerce"
This may be very comforting to the Negro who
wants to carry a little commerce with cup of
coffee and sandwich, with the comfort station
in hotel bus terminal and who finds that under
the Republican concept Of the Constitution he Is
ineligible.
Thanks to some perceptive questioning, Senator
Morton admitted that by playing it cagily the Re-
publicans hope to pick up great deal of political
advantage They are frankly out after the Southern
White Segregadonist votes which they expect to
deliver them big block of Dixie electors And they
hope to retain big section of the Negro vote (The
age of political miracles they obviously believe is
not yet over)
There is shocking cynicism in this approach
They hold on to their Negro supporters only by
fooling the Negroes or by embarrassing the Dixie
voters And while the double-cross is not unheard
of in political circles, convinced that at this
time this is not what Senator Morton has in mind
But he's wrong about the Negro voters

Thinks Pastors Actions

Editor: I have heard consider
able criticism of the action Of two

ing to raise funds to reimburse the
police officers whose homes were
bombed.
However, though I question the
precipitate action which in the
minds Of many unthinlSing people
might indicate the pastors thought

I think the gesture on the whole
had a tendency to relieve a certain

The Highway Department
Is At 1t Again

The Minnesota Highway Department has issued
ittle-noticed and extremely curious study of THE
Role of Mass Transit, Twin Cities Metropolitan
Areat" in which the department presumes to make
policy recommendations for the area.
This aspect of the study is important for
number of reasons The Department is already MAX
ing irrevocable policy decisions regarding mass
transit in the area, in its freeway designs Presum-
ably these decisions follow upon the departments
own policy recommendations. The policy recommend
ations are themselves completely reactionary and
completely unacceptable. Finally, the highway de-
partment is not qualified and not we believe auth
orized to make either policy recommendations or
policy decisions in the field of transportation
These are functions which the department seems to
have arrogated to itself in the general power grab
that has been going on for some time.
What the decisions? The most notable one
Is that transportation in the Twin Cities shall
be further reduced and CONSTRUCTED The study says:
AN attempt to provide all areas with mass
transit service will result in areas of high usage
subsidizing areas Of low usage While this type of
subsidization is not uncommon in the operation of
public and quasi-pubhc utilities, the practice might
prove undesirable in the case Of mass transit The
expense Of subsidizing the service to low-usage
areas might be better incurred in improving the
service in areas of high usage"
We suggest that the department Is miles out of
line In presuming any such recommendation It Is
not qualified or authorized to go into such matters
The State Legislature is the body that deals with
the generous subsidies that now go to the Twin
City Lines. The Railroad and Warehouse Commits
sion and the Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul are
the bodies authorized to deal with matters of service
While the actions Of these bodies have not al
ways pleased all bus riders and would-be riders we
submit that their decisions more soundIy based
than any which might be made in this field by the
highway department. We know Of no acceptable
authority in mass transit, for example, who would
support the departments ridiculous thesis On the
contrary from San Francisco to Boston the country
over, the great emphasis is the problem of get
ting mass transit back in gear to serve the metro
politan areas on a scale equal to the need At this
stage of our metropolitan growth it is quaint and
Tnischevous to set policy the further constrlIc-
ton Of our inadequate mass transit system.
The incident Of this report again emphasizes the
need for doing something about the Highway De-
parnent. This Is only the latest of series of boo
boos committed under its present commissioner. We
believe that this is far out of line justify
his removal.
