Pressured by Federal Government action and
an unrelenting onslaught Of sit-ins, boycotts and
other protest technques by action groups, a large
number Of Southern cities forced to yield their
Jim Crow traditions In various types Of public &C
commodaton.

variety and department store chains-long a prime
target Of militant rights groups-had quietly opened
to all customers in downtown Mobile, Ala, Pensa-
cola, Fla. Columbus Ga, Memphis and New Orleans
In Missouri, the State Supreme Court upheld the
constitutonality of challenged Kansas City law
prohibiting discrimination in hotels and restaurants
Meanwhile, as Kennedy aides considering a
move to put all biased hotels "off limits" to federal
employees travelling at US. expense major hotels in
Houston Tex lifted their color ban to admit Negro
guests for the first time In Macon, Ca. the cum
uative effect of federal court action and local bus
boycott resulted in policy of non-segregated
seating of passengers on all buses operated by the
city.
Similar gains made in the Of air
transportation According to a 1862 mid-year report
by is. Atty. Gen. Robert Kennedy there were IA
Dixie airports which voluntarily integrated their
passenger facilities.
The so-called Albany (Ga) Movement, compris-

NAACP, resulted in the following social, advances:

No vote indicated

Jackson County supervi-

1t was indicated that an elec-
tiOn will not be called until after

Supervisors gave the following
reasons:
1. Two elections have already
been set for Feb. S and it would
not save any expense in holding
a third one ON the same date.
2. Poll tax payments made in

3. 1--WE have been advised by
several local attorneys that there
is no urgency existing for the
election of county attorney"
1t was brought out at Mondays

ty is not required to have a pre-
scouting attorney. However, an
election must be held to abandon
the system.
Board chairman A. P. Moran
said he feels the county needs a
prosecuting attorney but thinks an
election should be set at a later
date to give candidates ample
time to conduct their campaigns.
