EXERCISES "RIGHT”
MINETY, England (UPD—
Author Alam Adamson says an
1813 act of Parliament gives
him the right to cross the land
owned by Mrs. Montague
Crocker which surrounds his
farm on three sides.
Adamson decided to use the
"right” Sunday and with a
rented tractor drove from the
main road straight towards his
house—through three sets of
barbed wire fence, an electric
fence, two gates and a rope
barrier.
Mrs. Crocker said she may
sue for damages.

MACON, Ga. (UPI) —The

Georgia Teachers and Education
Association will begin work on
a new constitution following
their merger Saturday.
The GEA voted to merge 653-
280. At the same time, results
of an earlier poll of GTEA
members was revealed, showing
approval of the merger 389-54.
The new constitution should be
ready for ratification In Vo-
Vember, 1969.
The National Education Assoc

a final deadline for completion
of the consolidation. Otherwise,
the groups will lose official san

Man Shot To Death
At Sandlot Game
SAVANNAH, Ga. (UPI) —
Savannah police were searching
today for an unidentified man
who gunned down another per
son in an argument over a close
play in a sandlot baseball game.
Police said the assailant shot
and killed Franklin Kelson when
the two began arguing about a
close call at first base during
a child’s game Saturday.
Kelson died later at a hospit
al while being treated for two
gunhhot wounds. The killer fled
after the incident.
Duvall Predicts
County Rejection
SAVANNAH, Ga. (UPI) —Dr.
Addison M. Duval told the State
Board of Health here Sunday
that he expects most of Geo
rgia’s 159 counties to vote them
selves out of the newly-passed
mental health "bill of rights."
Duval, director of the Health
Department’s division of mental
health, praised the legislation
as "one of the finest mental
health bills In the nation.”
But he said he fears the cou
nties would vote for "Judicial
hospitalization,” which he said
would basically amount to a re
turn to the past practice of
committing the mentally ill to
state institutions by court order.
Duval emphasized the need for
medical opinions in the admit
tance of mentally ill patients to
hospitals. "A real education pro
cess is needed to Georgia,” he
said, to combat past policies.
The board also heard a pro
posal to reduce the state’s cur
rent 38 districts to 13, a move
designed to upgrade the quality
of public health service.

Injunction Bars
Non-Students
At Burlington
By STEVE HUNTLEY
BURLINGTON, N. C. (UPI)
— Police said they would en
force an injunction today which
bars nonstudents from the
grounds of Burlington schools,
where racial unrest erupted in
to weekend street violence that
left one Negro dead and three
persons wounded.
Superior Court Judge Edward
B. Clark issued the injunction
Sunday night to prohibit the dis
rupting of school operations.
Police reported there was no
resumption of the racial vio
lence on Friday and Saturday
nights in which 19-year-old Jun
ior high school student Leon
Mebane was killed.
About 300 Negroes held a me
morial service Sunday after
noon for Mebane, who police
said was killed by crossfire be
tween officers and "snipers”
while allegedly looting a gro
cery before dawn Saturday.
A police ban on marches and
a rain shower that began before
the service ended prevented a
march the Negroes wanted to
hold as a part of the memorial
service.
The rain aided the approxi
mately 600 law enforcement of
ficers and National Guardsmen
in maintaining calm. A spokes
man said there was "only nor
mal police routine activity”.
By midnight, there had been
only a handful of arrests for vi
olation of the 8 p.m. to 6 a.m.
curfew in effect for Burlington
and Alamance County. There
was a report of one gunshot
several miles out of town which
officers said “didn’t amount to
anything."
The violence followed several
days of unrest and demonstra
tions at Walter Williams High
School. The tension stemmed
from a student election a week
before in which none of four
Negro candidates for the cheer
leading squad was elected.
Pike
Continued from page one
eration was prohibited.
A news wire service quoted
Judge Edenfield as saying:
"Boycotting the schools is not
going to do any good. The is
sue can only be settled in court.
"The boycott is the stupidest
thing I ever heard of. The stu
dents are not going to graduate
and I can't understand why
they want to deprive themsel
ves of an education."
The restraining order prohi
bits the marching Negro stud
ents from walking so near the
all-white campus that classes
would be disturbed.
It restrains N e gr o leaders
from encouraging students to
stay out of classes.
The order does not prohibit
Negroes from marching or as
sembling as long as it’s a suf
ficient distance from the school
grounds so as not to disturb cl
asses.
The order was issued on the
grounds that the marchers had
destroyed some school property
during demonstrations.
Negro leaders have denied the
charges.
During one "confrontation” at
the school, several windows
were smashed with rocks an d
lockers were overturned.
Bolden, the SCLC official in
charge of the "Zebulon Project”
was in Jail at the time.
In other court action, Pike
County's school integration plan
was approved without modifica
tion last Friday.
Under the plan, the fir st
grade will continue at the pre
sent first grade center in Zebu
lon.
The second and third graders
will attend classes at East Pike
Elementary. Fourth, fifth and
sixth graders will go to school
at the present Pike Elementary.
Seventh, eighth and ninth
graders will attend classes at
Pike Consolidated, which will
become a Junior high school.
Tenth, Uth and 12th graders
will attend Pike High School in
Zebulon.
It was quiet in Zebulon over
the weekend.
Negroes met Saturday an d
Sunday at Mt. Hope Baptist
Church, headuarters for the sc
hool boycott.
Another meeting was called
for today.
Pike Consolidated High h as
scheduled its baccalaureate ser
vice for Sunday, May 25. The
date was set several weeks ago.
Boycott leaders are planning
what they describe as a massive
"confrontation” on May 25. Lea
ders report that the Rev. Ralph
Abernathy may attend the meet
ing.

ON THE TRACK in Australia where the commissioner of railways said this 22-seat
bus will go into service in New South Wales on a cross-country run replacing uneco
nomic branch lines. The bus can cruise at 50 miles an hour on either road or rail.
To transfer from highway to track, the operator drives the vehicle onto the rails at
right angles. Then, from inside the bus, he lowers a special turntable which lifts the
vehicle off the ground. One man can then swing the bus around into position above the
rails (top photo). The driver next lowers the bus on its rail wheels to the tracks and
he is ready to drive it away as a train (bottom photo).
