Negro major league baseball

the old Brooklyn Dodgers, took
a turn on the picket line yes
terday at the Brooklyn con-
struction site where demon

ard reading: Jobs for every
one. II not jobs, then jail"
After marching for 10 min
utes at the Downstate Medical
Center site, Mr.. Robinson told
|newsmen:
II hope the demonstrations
will continue, but that they will
not be harmful to President
Kennedy's program.
II am very proud that the
head of our Nation has recog-
nized the need for civil rights
legislation. We should do
everything possible to help"
Thirty -four persons we're

FARMVILLE, Va, Aug. 3

pectantly today for a downtown

despite their failure to obtain
official sanction.
The parade permit necessary
to make the protest legal in
this Prince Edward County seat
was denied yesterday by Mayor
William F. Watkins, jr., on
grounds 1t would be "detri-
mental to peace and good Or

The Mayor, who had granted
parade permits to Negro pickets
each previous day this week,
said he would grant a permit
for today for other off-down-
town ageas-but not the down.

busiest day Of the week in the

But the Rev. Goodwin Doug

group leader, said 20 to 30 Me-
groes probably would challenge
the Mayors ruling by demon
strating downtown, anyway.
The last time Negroes DEM

Cambridge
Legislator
Threatened

BALTIMORE, Aug. 3 (AP).-
A State Senator from racially
troubled Cambridge said he
wreSted a pistol from a Negro
youth who approached his
parked car on a street here
and threated to kill him last
night.
Senator Frederick r. Malkus
said he was listening TO a foot
ball game on his car radio when
the Negro pointed the pistol in
the window and said:
I'm going to kill you"
Mr.. Malkus, a Democrat from
Dorchester County, was in Bal
timore for a radio interview on
the racial situation in Cam
bridge. " ..
He described the encounter
later during a radio broadcast.
He said he was approached
by two youths who asked him
for a match. He said he be-
came suspicious and locked one
door.
"AS I turned around, one of
the youths had a gun poked in
my face. He said he was going
to kill me. I guess I was fool
ish, but I grabbed the pistol, /"
Mr.. Malkus said.
II was heavier than he was
and weight finally prevailed. 3"
He said the revolver was fully
loaded. Mr.. Malkus said Bal
timore City police arrived
quickly after several persons
came to his aid when they saw
the struggle. He said both
youths fled.
Mr.. MalkuS, who came out of
the brief scuffle with a few
scratches, said he didn't believe
the incident had any connec-
ton with his role in the Cam
bridge racial dispute.
He said he thought the
youths were after his money.
Mr.. Malkus has not been in
volved directly in the negotia-
tons between white and Negro
leaders in Cambridge, but his
opposition to the equal ac-
commodations law enacted by
the Maryland legislature
earlier this year is well known.

Tax Bill Rules
frightened on
Options
BY the Associated Press

Tighter tax treatment of
stock options such as company
executives often receive has
been written into the new tax
cut and revision bill by the
House Ways and Means Com
mittee.
The tax-writing group re-
cessed until Monday. Next
week may see a start on the
major decisions yet to be made,
will determine how large
a cut Congress will be asked to
vote. House leaders, under
polite prodding from President
Kennedy, are pressing for a
vote this month.
The stock option wording,
agreed on yesterday, conforms
with earlier decisions. But it
is mild compared with Presi-
dent Kennedy's recommends
ton for outright repeal Of the
special tax treatment now
given this form of compensa-
ton.
A stock option in the usual
form is a right to purchase
stock at a set price. An execu-
tive given such a right by his
company naturally exercises it
if the stock goes up, allowing
him to buy it at a bargain. If
it goes down, he does not ex-
ercise his right-but he has
lost nothing.
Under present law, if he sells
the stock as much as six months
after he buys it, he pays only
the relatively low capital gains
tax on the profit, even though
an artificially low price con-
tributed to the gain.
The committee recon-
mended that the holding period
be extended from six months to
three years. Profit on sales of
stock held for less would be
taxed as ordinary income.

Negroes Halt
Protest Plans
In DunviIIe

DANVILLE, Va, Aug. 3 (AP)
Negro leaders deferred all
plans for further racial protests
here today in the face of action
by a corporation court judge
making permanent his tempo
rary injunction against mass
demonstrations.
Moments after he acted,
counsel for local Negroes an
nounced they would file an APP
peal, and the president of the
Danville unit of the NAACP,
the Rev. Doyle Thomas, told
reporters:
I'VE were not surprised
we have no plans at this time
for further demonstrations"
Besides the original prohibi-
tons incorporated in the tenn
porary injunction, the perma-
nent injunction signed by Judge
A. M. Aiken enjoins:
/. Taking part in, sponsoring
or encouraging meetings at
which violations of State or
city laws are suggested, advo-
Gated or encouraged"
2. Acting Gin a violent or
tumultuous manner holding I'M
lawful assemblies such as to
unreasonably disturb or alarm
the public :"
More than 300 persons,
mostly Negroes, have been ar
rested under terms of the in
junction since Judge Aiken first
signed it June 6 at the height
of racial turmoil here.
The city had pressed for con-
tinuation and broadening Of the
injunction on grounds that
violence was threatened by the
demonstrations, which began
May 81 and lately have trailed
off to isolated picketing.
Mr.. Thomas testified as the
final witness in the five day in
junction hearing yesterday that
it was the intention of the
Negro leadership to have peace
full protests.
1--WE need no law to prevent
violence" he told Judge Aiken.
1.-THE demonstrations were
meant to show we have griev-
ances, not to harm any person
or property"

100 persons had been arrested
for some form of racial protest.
Many were integrationists ar
rested in connection with a sit
down demonstration at Seven
ty-fourth street and Lowe
avenue which tried to stop in
stallation of temporary class
rooms, which the demonstra-
tors said would preserve segre-
cation of students. The demon
Stration was not connected with
the white protest at Fifty
seventh and Morgan.
A neighborhood group known
as the list and Stewart Com
mittee and the Congress Of
Racial Equality led demonstra-
tors in the sit-down on an
unpaved alley which had
turned to mud in a heavy rain.
The shutdown blocked trucks
carrying dirt from the class
room construction area. Dem
onstrators who refused police
orders to leave were carried
into police vans.
CORE contends that instead
of studying in temporary
wooden buildings, Negro stu
dents should be sent to white
schools which have space.
At one point a Negro woman,
eight children and an infant
in a portable crib were dragged
into a patrol wagon as it tried
to clear a path through the
alley.
The demonstration ended
when Jack Harkins, a young
white who is a publicity direc-
tor for CORE, was arrested.
Meanwhile, a group of cler-
gymen stationed themselves
throughout the Fifty-seventh
and Morgan street area to help
meet any emergency.
During the day representa-
tives Of various human rela-
tons organizations visited res
idents, urging them not to
demonstrate.
Police said they found a
small Sticker bearing a Nazi
swastika stuck to the wall of
a building in the area.

16PicketL evitt's BeIoir;
Model Homes Close

Sixteen civil rights pickets,
including two Negroes, today
paraded with placards in front
of the office of William j. Levitt
& Sons in the Belair subdivision
in Bowie after company Off
Gals closed the office and all
model homes.
Sponsored by the Prince
Geo segrCo County chapter of the
Congress of Racial Equality,
the picketers walked peacefully
in a circle while a dozen Prince
Georges County police observed
a half block away.
Police officials said they had
not been invited to observe but
were on hand to keep traffic
moving and prevent any vio-
lence.
Acts as LiaisOn
Also observing was Del NAL
kie, county public relations
officer, who said he was acting

as liaison between the county
commissioners and the new
county human relations COM
mission.
THE commission director is
in Ocean City and I can reach
him Immediately if need be, "
Mr.. Make said.
Curious onlookers were TAX
ing pictures of the picketS while
irate prospective home buyers
left in disgust after finding
the offices closed and no sales
men available.
Richard Ochs, chairman of
the CORE demonstration, said
the pickets were trying to pub
licize the fact that the Levitt
company has refused to sell
homes to two Negroes. He said
he hoped the demonstration
would prompt Federal agen-
cies to force Mr.. Levitt to
change his practice.
Planned as Peaceful
Mr.. Ochs emphasized that
the demonstration was planned
as peaceful event and that no
one was trying to get arrested.
The spokesman for the Bel
air firm issued a statement
saying the company had de-
cided to close offices and ex-
hibit homes Gin order to avoid
any possibility Of violence or
injury and tot minimize any
possible disturbance in the
community.
Our policy, as stated pre-
viously, Is to obey the law and
follow local custom. This pol
icy at Belar is the same as
that of every other builder in

More nuclear explosions in
the atmosphere would not sig
nificantly help in the effort to
build an anti-missile missile, a
United States nuclear physicist
said today.
1.-THE problem is not one of
developing nuclear warheads, "
said DR.. Ralph Lapp. 1.-THE
problem is still one of ballis-
tics and electronics. And all
these problems can be pursued
without atmospheric tests"
Nevertheless, DR.. Lapp, who
worked on the development of
the first atom bomb but is no
longer associated with the
Governments nuclear or mis-
sile projects, said these ballis-
tics and electronic problems
would be difficult to solve.
Kennedy Goes Further
President Kennedy went even
further at his news conference
on Thursday, saying:
1.-THE problem of developing
a defense against a missile is
beyond us, and beyond the
Soviets, technically. And
think many who work in II
feel that perhaps it can never
be successfully accomplished.
The Presidents remarks
rang alarm bells in some Pen
tagon circles, particularly
among the Army, which has
been pushing its Nike ZeuS
anti-misSile project for eight
years.
Views among Pentagon Of
ficials ranged from the Army'S
unflagging optimism to severe
skepticism Of some Defense De-
partment scientists and Of
ficials who also believe the
technical problems may be in
Surmountable.
The debate over development
Of an anti-miSSile system has
quickened again with the pros
poets Of the United States
British and Russian treaty
banning nuclear tests in the
atmosphere, as well as in outer
space and under water.
Fears Expressed
Some critics of the agree
ment, military and congress
sional, have expressed fears the
Soviet Union may be ahead Of
the United States in develop
ment Of a defense against in
tercontinental balliStic missiles
Senator Goldwater, Republi-
cal of Arizona, for instance
criticized Mr.. Kennedy's state
ment as selling known Amer
lean scientific and technolog-
ical ability very short"
He said there is no assur-
ance "that the Russians have
not gained a very substantial
advantage over us in this field
by reason Of their heavy
megaton explosions in the
atmosphere"

outlined some of the difficult
ties of perfecting a successful
defense against missiles.

Labor Day.
No one can predict accur-
ately how long the Senate will

1t could be disposed of in a

On the last day of its hear
ings on public accommodations,
Commerce Committee members
became involved in a political
controversy over how the Gov
errors have responded to a
committee invitation to express
their views on the bill.
Letter Goes Astray
In the course of the discus
sion acting Chairman Pastore
of Rhode Island said the COM
mittee staff had advised him
that no letter had been received
from Gov. Rockefeller Of New
York, although the staff had
received an oral message that
a communication was being
sent.
This surprised friends Of
Gov. Rockefeller who recalled
that the Governor had an
nounced in New York on July
10 that he had just sent a let
ter to Chairman Magnuson Of
the Commerce Committee,
strongly indorsing the public
accommodations bill.
A member of the committee
staff said the letter has not
been located. A member Of the
staff of Senator Javits, Re-
publican Of New York, sup
piled the committee immedi-
ately with a copy of Gov. Rock
efeller's press release, contain
ing the letter and said that the
Governor is mailing another
copy Of the original letter to

Crews worked through the
night to rescue passengers
trapped in the twisted coaches
along the little-used siding in
a suburb eight miles from Mon

Juan C. Fumes, president Of
Uruguay's national railroad,
said "criminaI hands forced
the lock of the track points

open by placing stones between
the rails and the switch lever,
shunting the train onto the

Rocks on Tracks
Another railroad official
said the saboteurs also placed
heavy rocks on the tracks.

the defense had accurately
computed the original trajec-
tory.
THAT is, it would be like
throwing a curved ball in base
ball. If all batters could be
sure the pitch wouldn't curve
at the last second, we wouldn't
have so many strike-outs."
Other Problems
In addition, missile develop
ers would have to learn how to
cope with:
/: Decoys or phony missiles
materials released from an on
coming missile, possibly in the
form of "self-erecting plastic
umbrellas" which would reflect
radar waves and might initially
divert the defense from the real
missile.
2. Multiple warheads-A scat
tered cluster of maybe a half
dozen missiles, each armed with
a warhead packing the explo-
Sive punch of 5 million tons Of
INT equivalent, instead of hav-
ing a one-shot missile packing
up to say so million tons of ex-
plosive force.
Mr.. Kennedy said discrimina-
ton is the real problem and put
it this way:
THE whole problem is
to have 100 objects flyine
through the air at thousands Of
miles an hour, to be able tc
pick them out; and if you car
do that there is an advantage
it still seems to me, to the Of
tense, because they can pour in
200 or 300."
So far, radar designed to picl

coys has not measured up. But

ment.
Difficulties Analysed
Here's the overall problem Of
missile defense as DR.. Lapp Sees
lit:
First Of all, you have to de.
tect an oncoming object as fast
as possible, because the more
warning you have the better of
you are. Then, you have tt
electronically identify it as ar
actual military missile.
Next, you have to acquire
the trajectory of the missile
by radar, that Is.
Then, you must predict TIN

Next, you must compute thu

and any phony missiles, and tx

such as terminal skewing."
DR.. Lapp said decoys con.
ceivably might be recognized
once they penetrated deer
enough into the earth's atmoS,

because, being lighter and o

they'd behave differently from
