NAACP Plea
On Jackson
Is Rejected

The Supreme Court yester-
day rejected an NAACP request
that 1t upset a State court tenn
porary injunction banning mass
demonstrations in jackson,
Miss, without a permit.
The temporary injunction, on
which a hearing is scheduled
September 8, was entered June
6 by Chancery Court Judge ].
C. Stennet. The NAACP said 1t
was not notified first.
In a petition asking Justice
Black to stay or dissolve the
temporary injunction, the
NAACP said that the order bars
them from engaging in consti-
tutionally protected activities.
ITO be enjoined from exer-
cising the right Of peaceful pro-
test, without hearing, for a pc
Rod Of three months is a
gross denial of basic constitu-
tional rights ." the NAACP
said.
Its request, submitted to JUS
tice Black on Thursday, said
the NAACP had asked the trial
court and the Mississippi Su-
preme Court to stay the injunc-
ton order and was turned
down by both.
Justice Black presented the
NAACP request to the full SUI
preme Court at its regular
closed conference yesterday.
The full court said in a one
sentence statement that the re-
quest was denied.

Woman Negro Leader
Hopeful for CAMBRIDGE
BY KATHIE DBELL

CAMBRIDGE, Md, June IS
(AP).-Mrs. Gloria Richardson,
chairman of the Cambridge
Non-violent Action Committee,
wishes she could find time to
clean her house.
II would like to lock the door,
just for one morning." she says,
80 I could really clean"
1t is unlikely she will find
the time soon. Cambridge is
locked in a bitter fight between
whites and Negroes over inte-
grafton, and Gov. Tawes has
called out the National Guard
to help control the situation.
Mother Supports Her
AS a Negro leader In the
fight, she was among those who
met last night in Annapolis
with Gov. Tawes in his efforts
to smooth out the racial crisis
that shakes this community Of
1880 persons.
She's al, has two children,
and is divorced. She attended
Howard University in Washing
ton, and majored in sociology.
She grew up in Cambridge. Her
father, who died IA years ago
was a pharmacist.
Mrs. Richardson is unem-
ployed but says proudly that
she does not receive unemploy-
ment compensation. Her
mother, who has remarked,
supports her. An uncle helps.
Her modest white frame
house in the Negro district has
become headquarters for the
demonstrators. She became
chairman of the Cambridge
Non-violent Action Committee
in March, 1861.
She's Been Threatened
II decided that If I were 60
ing to live here-and I like liv-
ing here-I wanted to try to
make a place that Negroes can
live in"
She admits she worries.
I've had threats. It could
be an actuality. Sooner or la
ter people have to focus their
hate on someone. But one
cannot go around being afraid
all the time. I'm more con-
cerned that masses of people
might get hurt"

Withdrawal of troops from
Fort Mcclellan, Ala, was un-
derway today as the racially
tense situation eased in some
Southern areas.
The Pentagon said, in an
swer to a question. that Reg
ular Army units that have been
stationed at Fort Mcclellan
were being returned today to
their home station at Fort
Benning. Ga.
The troops were being moved
In truck conveys.
Although the Pentagon gave
no figures, the action appar-
emily involved about 1900 men
and completes the withdrawal
OF Regular Army forces from

Earlier, the Army had pulled
out about 400 of the troops
that had been moved down
from Fort Bragg to Fort Nc
Clellan.
Guard Force Reduced
The Pentagon also has noti-
fled $4,000 of Alabama's fed
eralized National Guardsmen
that they will be released from
duty at midnight tomorrow.
The $500 who remain on
Federal active duty are in
peace-watching roles at the
university's main campus at
Tuscaloosa and at the Hunts
vile campus or are on stand
by and training at Camp Shell

The Alabama Guardsmen
were mustered into Federal
service on Tuesday when Gov

bar two Negro students from
enrolling at the University in
Tuscaloosa. In the face Of this
Federal military power, Gov
Wallace stepped aside.

James A. Hood of Gadsden, the
two Alabama Negroes who were
enrolled on Tuesday, settled

DR.. Reid was among three
Negro leaders who last night
sought sanctuary inside the

policemen waited outside with
warrents for their arrest. They
are accused of violating an in

Earlier yesterday the city

and night sticks against Negro
demonstrators.
The ordinance imposes a
maximum penalty Of $500 fine
and one year in jail. It pro-
hibits persons under 10 years
Of age from participating in
demonstrations.
"All assemblies and picket
ing shall be peaceful and I'M
attended by noise and bois-
terousness. and there shall be
no shouting. clapping or sing
Ing OF such a nature as 10 dis
turb the peace and tranquility
Of the community" the ordi-
nance reads.
Negro participants have been
very loud in hand-clapping and
singing In demonstrations here.
The ordinance requires also
that demonstrators walk in
single file, not less than 10
feet apart and prohibits them
from picketing before any busi-
ness or governmental agency
outside OF regular working
hours.
Picketing Forbidden
Picketine In or around public
buildings also Is forbidden.
After approval OF the ordi-
nance. several members OF the

Stinson for the way in which
he has handled the racial stu
alton thus far.

than 40 Negroes were hospi-
