WHILE THE settlement
has just recently been COM
pleted, the center has been
operating for the past two
years-at one time, in a big
home on Whitehaven.
The center examines the
applications of as many as
so young Greek scholars,
usually assistant profess
sors," and then invites six or
eight for a stay at the center.
They come from all over
the world. The term of study
runs from October / to June
/. Next fall there will be a
man from Japan, one from
the Argentine, one from
France, England and Aus
tria. The rest will be from
the United States.
In the center's academic
year just completed, there
were five scholars married
and three others were bache-
lors.
They take up residence in
one of the upright little
houses and spend the rest Of
the time studying ancient
Greek. Each has a study room
in the main building. They
receive a grant Of $4,000 and
their housing.

have meant when he said
something.

Head Of SCI
Pleads Guilty
On One Count
Mutual Security
President Could
Get z to 10 Years

Robert Harold Symonds,
president Of the defunct Mu-
tual Security Savings g. Loan,
pleaded guilty to one count Of
conspiracy to commit false pre-
lenses when he appeared in
Montgomery County's Circuit
Court today, on charges arising
from the firms activities.
Morton Lifshutz. 81, also an
executive of the firm, pleaded
nolo contendere to one count of
conspiracy.
States Attorney Leonard T.
Hardy asked that other charges
against Mr.. Symonds be held
in allegiance. pending a pre-
sentence investigation ordered
by Judge Thomas M. Anderson.
The charge to which Mr..
Symonds pleaded guilty carries
a minimum prison sentence of
two years to a maximum of 10.
Held in Allegiance
The other cases against Mr..
Lifshutz also were held in abey-
ance. His nolo contendere plea
says in effect, Il do not contest
the charges.
Mr.. Hardy said the State ac-
cepted the pleas of Mr.. Sy-
monds and Mr.. LifShutz because
the conspiracy charge "is the
meat Of the case" The other
indictments were held in abey-
ance, he said, "in order to leave
no loopholes and no stone I'M
turned"
Arthur A. Peisner, one of the
central figures of the defunct
association, acted as his own
attorney, filing a motion de-
claring that the conspiracy in.

them regarding fulfillment Of
their other demands.
Can't Give Up Protest
But during two conferences
Saturday, they repeatedly de-
clined to provide assurances
that the massive protest
marches would not be resumed
lat the end of a month.
"They feel that demonstra-
tons are the gun that will get
us and they evidently are un-
willing to lay it down no mat
ter what its use costs the COM
munity." said a businessman
who has been close to the nego-
tiations.
The position Of the Negroes
is that they cannot afford to
forsake their Legitimate right
to protest.
Enactment of a public &C
commodations law could be q
politically perilous act for
Mayor Calvin w. Mowbray and
the councilmen who face an
election this fall.
However, they felt that the
issue of restaul ant deseg-
regation was the most impor-
tant to the Negroes and that
if it could be dispensed with,
order could be restored while
quiet negotiations concerning
other differences proceeded.
The Chamber Of Commerce
and several influential civic
organizations had agreed to
support them, and Gov. Tawes
himself repeatedly was SYM
pathetic to their latest APP
proach.

MOBILE, Ala. (UPD - City
legal officials has begun work

The law was ordered removed
from the books Tuesday by City

office.
Ellington discussed the posi-
bility of a Cabinet appointment
in an interview tapped early
Wednesday for the program 60
Gus" on radio station WLAC.
The former governor had pre-
viously declined comment on
speculation that his close rela-
tionship with johnson would
lead to either a cabinet appoint
ment or would encourage him
to run for office in 1864.
Two U. S. Senate seats are at
stake in the 1864 election in
Tennessee. Should Gov. Frank
Clement resign to enter a Sen
ate primary, there would also
be a governors election.
When asked about a possible
Cabinet appointment, Ellington
replied:
''I'll be perfectly frank with
you. With my close association,
personal friendship, my great
respect for the new President,
I'm going to be ready to help
him any way that he thinks |
can help him, because I'm not
just interested in him, I'm in
tereSted in Tennessee and my
country.
IF and when a time comes
that seems that | could be of
service to Tennessee, to the ma
ton, to the President and his
new administration, naturally
I'm interested enough in all
these to do the best job that ]
can do anywhere"
When the late President Ken
nedy took office in 1861, it was
rumored that Ellington was be-
ing considered for secretary Of
Agriculture, on the basis Of
Johnson's recommendations.
