Birmingham Negroes
Defeat Bull" connor
In MoVorS Roce


Birmingham (ANP) - Negro
voters here last week won a big
victory even though the two Ne
gro candidates for the city council
were defeated. They played a de-
cisive role in defeating the city's
top segregationist and racist in his
bid to switch from police COM
missioner to mayor Of the city.
Eugene "Bull' Connor, who will
go to any length to crush Negroes
seeking civil rights, was defeated
in the mayoral race by former 1t.
Gov. Albert Boutwell,, a milder
type of segregationist. Connor,
whose principal target in the past
has been the Rev. Fred Shuttle
worth, lost by 1882 votes.
ConnOr openly blamed his de-
feat on the fact that 5000 Ne
grOes voted in elections.
The two Negro candidates who
went down to defeat were ]. L.
Ware and w. L. Williams, Jr.
After the election the city was
in a state Of confusion over who
its authorized officials are. Bout
well was elected under a new form
of city government, and Connor
and his associates refused to give
up their offices claiming that their
terms under the old form of gov
ernment have not expired
The people voted in referendum
last fall to abandon the commits
sion form Of government, under
which Connor had served for %
years, and which had been in ef-
feet for more than so years, in
favor of a mayor-council system.
Connor opposed the change, but
ran for mayor against Boutwell,.
Boutwell, crushed Connor at the
polls, 29,63O votes to 21,64S which
indicated, as the Bull" said, that
the 5000 qualified Negro voters
must have decided the election
against him.
During the campaign, Connor,
who doesn't mind the roughness
that his nickname Bull" suggests,
accused both his opponent and
Birmingham newspapers Of sur
rendering to or conspiring with in
tegration forces.
AS police commissioner, Conner
has given Negroes in general, and
civil rights proponents, in partic-
ular, a rough time. Last week,
apparently frothing in anger over
his election defeat, he busted him
self trying to fight off a drive
launched by the Rev. Martin Luth-
er King, Jr., to end segregation in
the city.
King arrived on the scene Just
about the time the political axe
was falling on ConnOr, and
promptly promised to make
Birmingham the center Of anti
discrimination activity In the ma
ton"
Earlier in the day, Negroes had
staged a shp-and-jump sit-ins at
lunch counters at downtown vari-
ETY. and department stores to pro-
test segregation. OF the more than
80 participating, 20 were arrested
by Connor's men.
But Kings declaration before q
meeting Of 500 cheering persons
was q direct challenge flung In the
face Of the vociferous Connor. I'VE
are heading for freedom land"
said King, land nothings going to
stop U.S."
The concensus was that the
struggle between Boutwell's elect
ed group and the lame duck Con-
nor faction viii wind up In court.
Connor wants badly to maintain
control Of the city government He
Is reported to have dominated the
outgoing three-man city commits

THIS NJ THAT
By Hazel Underwood
Desire

No joy for which thy hungering heart has painted
No hope it cherishes through waiting years,
But if thou dost deserve it. shall be granted
For which each passionate wish the blessing nears
Tune up the fine, strong instrument of thy being
To chord with thy dear hope and do not tire.
When both the key and the rhythm are agreeing,
Lo thou shalt kiss the lips of thy desire.
The thing thou cravest waits in the distance
Wrapt in the silences unseen and dumb:
Essential to thy soul and thy existence,
Live worthy Of it, and it shall come.

can only conclude, Adam, that this latest tan
trum of yours stems from the fact that you in
furiated because Roy Wilkins and the Board of the
NAACP did not rush to your defense in your recent
battle with your fellow Congressman.
You set up the usual crybaby yell that you
were being prosecuted because you are black man
when it was pretty obvious that you had placed
yourself in vulnerable position to be condemned by
many people with many different motives.
The Negro people are growing, up, Adam, and
do not believe they sympathetic any longer to
the business of supporting anything anyone does
wrong or rght-simply because he belongs to the
race
Whatever you may believe, Adam, write this
letter more in sadness than in anger. l. like many
others, have been troubled by what has seemed to
be your growing insensitivity to the cause of our
people and your seemingly increasing disregard for
your responsibilities to the job you have been sent
to Washington to do.

Like many others, have hesitated to say this
because you have done magnificent job in years
gone by and because did not want to give ammuni-

enemies of the Negro people.

the segregationists-a probably thinking very
highly Of you right although they probably
have contempt even for enemy who would desert
his own cause. At any rate you have played right
into their hands.
They want nothing better than to hurt the
NAACP and you have volunteered to give that aim
a tremendous boost.
Recently, the campus Of Howard University,
I received tongue-lashing from a student who de-
manded to know how could balance my beliefs and
personal principles with my consistent defense Of

Second Spy
Satellite Goes
Into Orbit

CAPE CANAvERAL, Fla,
Oct. 10 (AP).-A radio signal
from the ground today inserted
the second of two nuclear de-
lection satellites into a planned
circular orbit $1,000 miles
above the earth.
The signal, beamed from a
New Hampshire station, ignited
a motor aboard the spacecraft.
The firing m aneuvered the
sentry satellite out Of an clip
teal orbit ranging from 23O to
$1,000 miles and placed it in a
circular path at the high point.
The first sentry satellite was
kicked into a similar orbit on
Thursday.
The two now are nearly half
a world apart so that their
sensing devices can scan a
great area Of outer space. The
satellites are the first step in
a United States plan to perfect
a foolproof means of detecting
if any nation violates the par
tial nuclear test-ban treaty by
exploding a rocket-borne bomb
in space.
The satellite instruments
were designed to spot a sneak
burst as far as 200 million
miles away.
The space twins were
launched from Cape Canaveral
Wednesday night aboard the
same rocket. A third satellite in
the package, a 41a-pound
midget, continued to send back
information on the Van Allen
radiation belts today as II
whirled in an elliptical orbit.
