NEW YORK. - News bulle-

loss in four and one half
months.
The Associated Press average

1857, its sharpest drop since
the week ended March 2 when

The Dow Jones industrial
average fell 1881 to 693.89-
making a decisive penetration
of the theoretical support level
at TOO.
The three big joltS to Wall

The Federal Reserve Board

per cent from 3 per cent;
A Securities & Exchange
Commission study recommend

be taxed, under the terms Of
the proposed measure.
The discount rate increase
was long anticipated but the
timing came as a mild surprise.
The news erased a market rise
and caused a slight decline on
Tuesday.
The SEC report on Wednes-
day was a shock to veteran Wall
Streeters. Again, an early mar
ket rise ended and the day
ended with another decline.
The Kennedy plan for taxing
transactions in foreign Secu-
rites came as a complete sur
prise and sent the market
down to a sharp loss on Thurs
day. Although the intent Of
the proposed law was to stem
the outflow of gold from the
United States, the impact of
the news left the financial
community confused, stunned,
and resentful.
The five most active issues
this week on the New York
Stock Exchange were: Sunray

324, 800 shares; Chrysler, up l

cO-EXISTENcE WITH FILTH AND
VERNNIN HARD PART OF FREEDOM
FIGHTERS STAY IN NC. JAIL

Raleigh, N. c. (ANP) - There's
more to being sentenced to a
southern Jail for civil rights ac-
tivity than just being incarcerated.
According to Miss jamie Phillips
who was recently released after
spending 80 days in prison for par
ticipating in a demonstration
against a Howard Johnson res
taurant, the real ordeal Is adjust
ing to a coeMstence with filth,
rotten food, vermin and unsanit-
ary conditions.
Miss Phillips along with 2
young Negro youth were given 80
day sentences recently after being
convicted" in a Jay Pee Court Of
tres-passing upon the property of
the local Howard Johnson restaur-
ant.
The trespassing charge was
made after the two had requested
service at the public eating place,
ION the whole I received very
good treatment from the jailors
and was not directly mistreated in
any way" Miss Phillips reported
There were times when it was
necessary to go on a partial hun
ger strike for purely tactical rea-
sons" she said. Explaining this
Miss Phillips said that although
the food was plentiful, its quail
ty was usually poor.
She and other women prisoners
were given the task of preparing
the vegetables eaten by the pris-
oners. She said these vegetables
were usually old, moldy and stale.
From time to time reaches and
other vermin were in these veg
etables. She said the white bread
was moldy and that the corn preao
she received always contained
worms which had been cooked into
the bread.
II always gave this bread and
the worms to the birds" she stat
ed.
Miss Phillips reported that on
the fourth week of her incarcera-
ton, the prisoners were given
clean towels and clean sleeping
bags. The bags replaced the dirty
bags they had been using, the
towels were the first ones given
during her stay.
She said she was told that these

~ ProvSE for S0uH
Lord, make me kind!
The world is full enough Of need
less tears
And hungry hearts are full enough
Of nameless fears,
To these no vision Of Thy human
ness appears.
Lord, make me kind!
Lord, make me think!
For thoughtlessness has caused so
much needless woe,
For thoughtless words of mine
may grow and grow
Until, like torrents mad, no thing
can stay their flow.
Lord, make me think!
Lord, make me love!
And place loves sign upon the
face of me
That loveless man may pause and
turn and see
A little Of that. love that comes
from Thee.
Lord, make me love!
