Today we take you to Michi-
gan where 'Global Portraits sa-
lutes a top Editor, John Banks
ton and his paper The Grand
Rapids Times which made it's
beautiful appearance to the
reading public in 1853. Rela-
lively a young man, Mr.. Banks
ton, who halls from Chicago,
Illinois where he was graduated
from DuSable High School. He
served in the U. S. Army from
1912 to 1945, where his desire
to publish a newspaper was at
its peak when he left the Army,
and Grand Rapids Michigan
gave opportunity for the realiza-
tion of this desire. Says, Mr..
Bankston of his beginning and
his work, Although / did not
go to College for Journalism l
saw the need for a newspaper
in our Community, sought nec-
essary information concerning
same and have tried over the
years to produce a community
vehicle worthy of reading"
The paper started offset
printing in 1861 and is the first
Negro newspaper in Michigan to
be printed in such manner. And,
1861 marked another big step
in the growth of the TIMES
when it received a Citation for
distinguished Community Serv-
ice by the United Community
Services of Grand Rapids and
Kent County. And the year prior
(1960) the Furniture City Golf
Club had presented the Times
a Journalism Award in recogni-
tion of outstanding achievement
in serving the human needs of
the community. Thus, we see a
newspaper being honored for
service given.
Each year the Grand Rapid
Times sponsors the Annual Miss
Sepid Pageant Talent Contest)
and the winner is given a schol-
arship as well as many gifts.
Among the Is writer's on the
Times are Governor George
Romney of Michigan and Con-
gresham Gerald r. Ford who
keeps the readers well informed
on civic, political and general
matters Of interest to a grow
ing nation.
To salute the Grand Rapid
Times, easily known as The
Negro Voice of Western Michi-
gam and its Publisher Editor,

Civil Rights . -.

The results in the first few
hours after the noon filing Of the
discharge petition were not un-
expected. Backers Of the civil
rights legislation sponsoring the
petition believe they will have
done well to obtain as many as
100 signatures when the present
session Of Congress adjourns
late this month.
They still have all Of next
year but their goal is to force a
House showdown, one way Or
the other, next month. ~,
They formed a long line when
Rep. Emanuel Celler, D-N.Y.,
placed the petition on the speak
er's desk. During the first hour
of the session, lis members,
most Of them Democrats, signed
their names.
Signing can be done only
while the House is in actual
session. If and when the sigma
lures will be published in the
Congressional Record. Until
then, the petition is not a public
document.
When the House quit for the
day, 131 members had signed.
Meanwhile, Republican Sen.
Kenneth B. Heating Of New
York set the stage for a posi-
BILE civil rights debate in the
Senate on Thursday. He told his
colleagues he would offer then
an amendment to an appropria-
tions bill to provide about $780,
600 for hiring 10 more attorneys
in the Justice Departments civ
il rights division.
The administration requested
money was eliminated entirely
by the Senate Appropriations
Committee last week, knocking
out House approval If funds Tor
8 of the 10 lawyers, Keating
said. The bill provides about
$1.8 billion for the state, justice
and commerce departments and
several other government agen-
cies.
Heating, an outspoken advo-
cate Of civil rights legislation,
said the Justice Departments
civil rights division now has
only 10 lawyers working
throughout the country.

Another fact that contributed
much to the threats and rumors
of violence was the 'hate sheet"
being distributed throughout
Negro neighborhoods of the city.
The "hate sheet" bears the title,
Murder, Inc" It charges "Seg-
regationists and Communists"
with being chiefly responsible
for the death of President Ken
nedy and Medgar Evers, State
NAACP Secretary.
The "hate sheet" is the prod
uct of "The Jackson Movement, "
according to its headline. The
Jackson Movement is combina-
tion of all of the nationally
known civil rights groups, and
some local groups, including
Woman Power Unlimited, the
group organized and founded by
Mrs. Claire Collins Harvey of
Collins Funeral Home.

tion, said the Giles brothers

Today's appeal to the Su-

Giles Brothers Appeal
In Rape Case Dismissed

The Supreme Court today
dismissed an appeal from two
Montgomery County brothers
sentenced to die in Maryland's
gas chamber on a charge of
raping a 16-year-old Hyatts-
vile girl in 1861.
John @. Giles and James v.
Giles Of Spencerville, sought a
high court review of the consti-
tutionality Of Maryland's un-
usual practice Of letting juries
interpret the law.
The Supreme Court dismissed
the brothers appeal In an un-
signed order stating simply that
the appeal presented no sub
stantial question Of law under
the United States Constitution
or Federal laws.
In all but two States, Mary
land and Indiana, interpreta-
ton Of law is handled by
judges. The Giles brothers con-
tend the Maryland practice de-
MED them due process and
equal protection Of the law.

By $4o.3 Million

Reductions in the unit cost
OF producing nuclear weapons

Commission to cut sac 3 million
from its 1854 fiscal year budg-
ct. President Kennedy disclosed
today.
He told Congress the decrease
in the Acc budget estimate for
the new fiscal year starting
July / is made possible by saw
ings during the current fiscal
year and expected during fiscal
1864. The fiscal 1868 savings

quirements.
AS a result, the President
asked Congress to revise his
original budget estimate of
$2.472,800. 900 for Acc operat-
ing expenses to $2.42S,5OO 900.

charged with running down a
ramp, throwing sticks at other
boys and taking part in fist
fights outside the stadium.
His 27-year-old sister told
Judge Ketcham that some of
his truancy from school is
caused by a lack of proper cloth
ing. Sometimes he has had no
shoes or pants" she said.
The last boy to appear today
was charged with throwing
sticks and stones and fistfight-
ing. His attorney, E. Franklin
Bourne, said the boy would re-

of alleged errors in the charge
made by police.
The boy was allowed to &c
home after it was reported that
his school record was good anc

3 Scientists Uncover

speculated.
2. "a solar proton event"
which resulted in a burst Of
particles was followed two
days later by a second burst.
THE observation Of these
particles was the first direct
measurement of protons aris-
ing at the earth two days after
a solar event although the
presence Of such particles had
previously been inferred" the
scientists noted.
8. After almost exactly the
same 27-day period which the
sun takes to rotate once upon
its axis, a very much smaller"
burst Of protons was observed.
Interest in solar storms
arises in part from the fact
that protons spewed out of
the sun during such events
could be a hazard to men fly
ing through interplanetary
space. Studies Of solar flare
phenomena have been intensi-
fled since the manned moon
mission was ordered by Presi-
dent Kennedy.
The late 1960s, when the
moon flight will be attempted,
will be a period Of heavy solar
storm activity.

New information about "sun
storms" has been uncovered by
three scientists from the God
dard Space Flight Center in
Maryland.
The findings, based on studies
of data from earth satellites
Explorer-12 and Explorer-l4,
were outlined before the Amer
lean Physical Society this morn
ing as it opened a four-day
spring meeting at the Sheraton
Park Hotel.
T. L. Cline, D. A. Bryant and
B. Mcdonald said three new
conclusions about energetic par
ticles from the sun, called solar
protons, can be drawn from
observations made in the fall of
1861 and 1862. These are:
/. The protons travel around
about twisty route between the
earth and the sun. covering far
more than the straight line dis
tance Of 80 million miles. The
tortuous path travelled by the
particles may have been caused
by defections at magnetic field
irregularities in interplanetary
space. or it may have resulted
from a partial storage Of the
solar protons near the sun, after
acceleration but before they
were released into interplane-

Oregon Governor Tells
COP. to Start Work

PHOENIX, Ariz., April %
(AP).-Gov. Mark A. Hatfield
Of Oregon wants Republicans
to quit "dillydallying" over their
1864 presidential nominee and
get busy building a winning
precinct organization.
The 40-year-old Republican
declined to choose between New
York Gov. Nelson A. Rookie
feller, with whom he has been
linked politically, and Arizona
Senator Barry Goldwater to
head the G. o. P. national
ticket.
He listed Senator Goldwater
as the front runner among
party officials, but said that
II the nominating convention
were held today the delegates
would pick Gov. Rockefeller
because they want a winner.
Gov. Hatfield, here for the
three-day Western governors
conference opening today, said:
1--WE are dillydallying too
much over who is going to be
the nominee, instead Of build
ing our precinct organization. T"
Sees GOldwater Strength
He said Senator Goldwater
has "a great reservoir of sup
port" in Oregon and would
have a good chance Of carrying
the State II he staged an ag-
gressive campaign.
Nationally, he said, a major
ity of party leaders appears to
prefer Senator Goldwater but,
he went on, convention dele
gates are motivated by the de-
sire to win. On that basis he
tabled Gov. Rockefeller as
their probable choice for the
nomination.
