Birmingham, Ala. Oct. % -
The eye of the nation turned
again this week toward Birm-
ingham where Tuesday saw the
passing of the deadline project
ed by Rev. Martin Luther King
Ur. for the hiring of Negro
policemen in the city.
A City Council Committee
Tuesday brushed aside threats
of massive racial demonstra-
tons and declined to recon-
mend immediate employment of
Negroes as policemen.
The three-member committee,
headed by Councilman George
C. Seibels, said in a preliminary
report to the council that a
study OF possible Negro employ
ment "is proceeding according
to our schedule regardless of
any arrogant and unrealiStic de-
mands."

Battle and Colgate Darden, a l /
former Governors.
I'VE, of course, were con-
scious there was an organiza-
tion and we belonged to 1t. We
liked its philosophy. But we had
our scraps and disagreements.
"Now a pretty strict record is
kept. If you sin one time, you're
persona non grata."
Effect on Young Men
He blames this organization
attitude for many of the abler
young men not running for re-
election to the legislature this
year.
"a lot of the boys are getting
out because they're dis
couraged," he says.
Mr.. Stephens also says many
of the organization leaders,
Willingly or unwittingly," are
fast pushing Virginia toward
becoming a Republican State
'by embracing reactionarism."
"The capable young people
are going into the Republican
Party because they see no fu-
Iture for dedicated, intelligent
men in the present scheme of
things"
Mr.. Stephens emphasizes,
however, that he thinks the or
ganization "is still a good thing,
but not the way it's run now" +"
He insists "there is a middle
ground and violence need not
be done to fundamental prin-
ciples to meet your problems"
He says such State policies as
pay as you = go road con-
struction was good rs years ago,
but not today.
Mr.. Stephens likes to point
out that many of the proposals
he made during his campaign
concerning State problems
"have in one way or anther
been taken up by the opposi-
tion."
These include his suggestions
that studies be made of the
States tax and highway sys-
TENS, that a separate industrial
development department be
Established and that additional
technical schools be built.
And how does he feel Gov
Harrison has done as Governor?
Mr.. Stephens says: II have
not been disappointed. 80"
Busy In Law
Sitting in the handsome chair
his colleagues gave him the last
time he presided over the Sen
ate in January, 1862, Mr.. Ste
phens says he will be kept busy
with his flourishing law prac-
tice.
He says he will not get back
in politics, but indicated he
, would like some position where
he could give some sort of pub
lie service to Virginia.
He obviously would have liked
an appointment to the State
Highway Commission after his
primary defeat. But he didn't
get the post - even though he
says Mr.. Almond promised it to
him, while he was Governor.
OF his future, he says:
II plan to keep a continuing
interest in Virginia on a con-
| structive basis"

any of his personal or politi-
cal friends" except possibly one
- United States Senator Harry
F. Byrd.
But I'm not losing any sleep
over that" he says, adding:
Senator Byrd's attitude is
best expressed by how he has
treated Lindsay Almond"
ct has been widely specu-
lated in Virginia that Senator
Byrd has been responsible for

nor.

Gov. Goodwin was one of those
he says poisoned the minds OF
the voters in my own district
against me" by trying to pic
ture him as favoring school in
tegration.

Byrd, Mr.. Stephens says:

service. But too many things
are sacred now: you don't ques-
ton them"

recovered from a heart attack
that kept him away from his
office for several months last
summer.
Recalling his 80 years in pol
itics - in the House of Dele
gates, State Senate and a dec
ade as Lieutenant Governor -
Mr.. Stephens says:
More than anything, I miss
the associations but I feel
relieved of a tremendous strain.
No RancOr
Sitting In his faded white
brick law office on Smithfield's
main street, he talks without
rancor about his last campaign
the 1861 Democratic guberna-
torial primary in which he lost
to the organization-backed can
didate, Albertis s. Harrison, jr
Running with Mr.. Stephens for
Lieutenant Governor was Alex
andria's Armistead Boothe.
It was a campaign in which
Mr.. Stephens saw many Of the
men with whom he had served
for years in the legislature sup
port his opponent; a campaign
in which he saw many express
disbelief that Mr.. Stephens
would criticize the Byrd organ
ization after having been q
member of that exclusive Club
for years.
Mr.. Stephens had this to say
about that:
"Ninety-five per cent of the
time I went along with the or
ganization, but I was never in
the inner circle. I'm not bitter
about any Of it. I'm happy"
He says he got in the race
without any Illusions" noting
that q friend, one of the tor
brass In the organization, told
him: You can't beat them, Gi
but you're in a beautiful posi-
ton of not giving a damn
