I .S. Nazi Is
Fined for Assault
On Luther Kin«v Jr.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. iff -. “He
”°t a good right across to Dr.
King's left cheek, then he hit him
on the back of the neck.
“He threw two blows, then j
dropped his arms. He muttered !
something about ‘I’m sorry’.”
That was Wyatt Tee Walker’s j
description after a white member i
of the American Nazi party !
vaulted onto a stage and attacked
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., as
the Negro integration leader spoke
Friday.
The white man, Roy James, 24,
of Arlington, Va„ was quickly
taken in Recorder’s City Court.
Judge Charles Brown fined him
$2a and sentenced him to 20 days
in jail for assualt and battery
disorderly conduct.
The incident was the only act
of violence here tracing to a four- j
day meeting of the Southern Chris- j
tion Leadership Conference, an i
integration group of which King j
is president.
King was giving a financial re
port near the end of the1 conven- j
tion, and said Negro entertainer j
Sammy Davis Jr. would give a 1
benefit performance for the SCLC 1
in New York.
At that point James leaped from ’
a sixth row seat, vaulted onto the
stage, and hit King.
Walker, executive secretary of I
the SCLC. said James later told
him that mention of Davis made
him angry because the entertainer
is married to a white actress Mae
Britt.
The blows staggered King, but
he did not fall, and later refused
to press charges.
However, an arresting police
officer booked James, and King!
was brought into court to testify.
James, 6-foot-2 inches tall and
weighing 200 pounds, towered over i
the 5-feet-10 inch King as they j
stood before Judge Brown. King,
weighs about 170 pounds.
Mayor Arthur Hanes walked in- i
to the courtroom while the trial |
was in progress. As James sat i
handcuffed and waiting to be j
taken away, Hanes pointed a finger j
at him and said:
"We don't want you to come
back to this city. We’re not going to j
put up with rabble rousers.”
.foe Williford Elected
President of Anchorage
Young Republicans Club
ANCHORAGE -— Joe Williford
•If'., a recent graduate of the Uni
versity ol Alaska and a former
member of the U of A Young De
mocrats Club was elected presi
dent ol the Anchorage Young Re
publicans Club at its Tuesday night
meeting.
John Gill, former club president,
said that "I am especially pleased
to have Joe succeed me as presi
dent,. It points up two important
facts. One, the Republican party
is open to all thoughtful people
and secondly the Republican party
attracts thoughtful young people.
I will be happy to work for a for
mer Democrat who will do a fine
job.”
Joe Williford commenting on his
election said, “by tradition and
heredity I was a Democrat but in
my opinion the Democrats have
perverted the principles on which
my country was founded. In ad
dition the Democratic party has
long since been replaced by the
Republican party as the party that
really has at heart the interest
and welfare of the largest segment
of the American public: the work
ing man. Democratic party social
ism has no place on the American ]
scene. A free man should be able I
to think and act for himself and I
not be led or misled by an ever- ]
enlarging federal government. On ;
tin.' basis of these thoughts I be
came a Republican by choice."

m i. iiing.
Justice officials said the Missis-]
sippi governor promised:
That he would see that U.S. mar
shals and Meredith would be ad
mitted to the campus without op
position. and
Would "guarantee to preserve
law and order with state police
or in cooperation with U.S. mar
shals' against any violence which
might erupt.
At the outset of Sunday night’s
violence, the Mississippi Highway
Patrol withdrew from the gas
fogged field of battle and did not
return.
Col. Torn Birdsong, the patrol
commander, said the patrolmen
had defective gas masks.
In Jackson, Gov. Barnett — who
had sworn to go to jail rather than
submit — was not available for
comment fin the disorders fir the
Attorney General’s statement.
Barnett indirectly gave up physi
cal resistance Sunday in a public
statement to his citizens. Presi
dent Kennedy broadcast a nation
wide appeal for public order.
Still, aroused students -— and
tin students said gun-firing out
siders — exploded into wild dis
order even as President Kennedy
made his plea.
Litter Clogged Streets
When Meredith went to be reg
istered incredible litter clogged
tile campus streets — the hulks
of more than a half dozen burned
out cars and trucks. The glittering
shards of soft drink bottles, ex- |
pended gas shells, bricks and !
stones.
Two had died, 20 had been in- j
jured. 93 had been arrested. Bo
I sides seven burned out cars and
trucks, 20 other vehicles had been
' badly damaged.
j The bayonets and the tear gas
j and the riot sticks brought an un
easy recess in the rioting, but it
took nine hours during which US
marshals were pinned down in the
Lyceum Administration Bldg., and
sniper bullets pinked dust from
the red bricks of the centurv-old
structure.
Slowly the bayonets forced the
rioters back, dispersing them,
finally, into the woods and dor
mitories of the 640-acre campus.
A French newsman. Paul Gui
hard, died amid the fog of tear
gas, a bullet in his back.
A jukebox repairman, George,
23, was shot twice, once through
the head and once through the
body. He was dead on arrival at
a hospital.
Two marshals and a newsman
were among approximately 20
casualties, resulting from bird shot,
bullets, rocks and tossed soft drink
bottles. The condition of the two
marshals was serious.
Being good-humored in this life
is something you have to learn as
you go along. The proof: nobody
was every born laughing.

Egan Due Here This
Week on Campaign Trail
ANCHORAGE .? Gov. Wm. A
Egan said here today he has just
learned reliably that Republican
gubernatorial candidate Mike Ste
povic-h has decided to accept his
debate challenge.
He said he hopes Stepovich will
announce his acceptance “real
soon" because his, Egan's, cam
paign plans are being kept “up in
the air" by this “indecision on the|
part of Stepovich.”
Egan said he will leave here !
tomorrow for a campaign swing
through northwest and western
Alaska and will return about Oct. i
10. He said he will visit Barrow, j
Nome, Kotzebue, Bethel, Dilling- ;
ham, Naknek, King Salmon and .
Kodiak.
Tlie governor said he hopes the
debate will be forthcoming “so
tlie people will really be in a
position to form considered opin
ions as to who is competent to be :
governor of Alaska."
He said he has held up making
any campaign plans pending a !
decision by Stepovich on the do- 1
bate but now must go ahead with
these plans. He said he must visit
northwestern and western Alaska
before winter weather sets in.
“A lifetime of happiness! No !
man alive could bear it: It would !
be hell on earth.”
