KUDZU INCOME—Jack Wilson,
2nd from right, Camp Hill, Ala.,
farmer, counts on a gross of about
$1,500 every year from digging
and selling kudzu crowns during
early winter as one of his several
sideline enterprises. The crowns
students were released immediately
on bail.
Southern university students
jumped into the “sit-down” war
last week when eight students were
jailed on loitering charges for
breaching the local Baton Rouge
Kress store for service. A total of
16 were arrested. The next day,
about 3,000 Southern U-ites march¬
ed on the State Capitol to protest
the arrest. Singing the National
Anthem, they knelt on the steps
and prayed: following this 18 stu-
ients were expelled from the
school.
And Gov. Earl K. Long stepped
: nto the picture with a very un-
original comment to make about,
the sit-downers. “I would
suggest those who are not
isfied/—like the 16 at the lunch
counter—return to their native
Africa," he said.
“They’ll find out they’re doing
a lot better here than they would
: n their native land.”
COLUMBUS, Ga.—Three white
soldiers stationed at Fort Benning,
were jailed on “trespass charges,”
for trying to buy beer in a Negro
cafe.
WINSTON-SALEM, N. C. —
Wake Forest college students, di¬
vided in sympathy toward the
“sit-downers,” voted 742 to 604
against admitting Negroes to the
all-white Baptist college. Only
282 were in favor of immediate
integration, and 322, sometime
in the near future.
RALEIGH, N. C. — 43 ’Negro
students involved in the lunch-
counter protests were convicted on
charges of trespassing.
CONCORD, N. C.—An incident¬
less parade by more than 100 Ne¬
gro students was held for an hour
in Belk’s Department store base¬
ment.
BIRMINGHAM—Ton Negro col¬
lege students sought service in
white cafes, which closed down
until police came and arrested the
groups. The counters then re¬
opened for business.
NASHVILLE—Four Negro stu¬
dents were convicted and_ fined on
trespassing counts for their activi¬
ties in the sit-down demonstra-
j are sold to farmers who want to
begin growing the ivy-like plant
to help halt erosion, as well as
provide grazing for their live-
stock. Looking at the crowns with
Mr. Wilson in a field of kudzu are
one of his sons, Horace, Freddie
tions.
IIOUSTON, Tex. - Disturbing
the peace charges were slapped
against four Negroes for refusing
to pay $2.50 for a cup of coffee—-
regularly priced at 5c — in the
Tasita Drive-In. A special menu
was given them, listing among
other things steak at $15; ham
and eggs, $6.50; grilled cheese
sandwiches, $3.
MARSHA L, Tex. — Twenty-five
students, picked up by police at
three lunch counters, were released
with a warning against further
demonstrations.
