Civil Righters protected by Justice Dept. return. On September 24 a group of B . Shelton, 61 acres $4600 SCLC workers were arrested in i Whitmir No. 4 the car on the way to demon strations in Crawfordville. The vehicle had stolen plates, MARTIN LUTHER KING'S cavalier concept of law appears to be filtering down to his second-grade lieutenants in Atlanta, where police officials have connected an auto theft ring to Hosea Williams. A Federal Grand Jury has returned an indictment against two of Williams’ civil rights workers for transporting a sto len car from Arlington to At lanta. One of the indicted men was already wanted for theft of a second auto, discovered in the possession of a group of dem onstrators who had been given the keys by Mr. Williams. But most significant of all, it took the liberal Atlanta Jour nal a month to penetrate the curtain hastily pulled down by federal officials and report the facts which ought to be of public record. It is extremely curious that for a simple offense such as auto theft, the Justice Depart ment has taken charge at he highest level, sending two of its top attorneys from Wash ington to handle the prosecu tion, and admonishing the local FBI office and the district at torney to silence. The Federal Grand Jury in dictment fails to give license number or engine number of the stolen car, referring only to a “1965 Dodge Dart.” Despite the fog, a Journal re porter traced one of the indict ed men to a small print shop whose main customer is the Southern Leadership Confer ence. The owner, Morris Finley, said that he met a man whom he considered “a used car deal er” and bought the car. Finley says he feels he is being forced “to take the rap” for more important people in SCLC. The whereabouts of the sec ond man listed in the indictment —one Harold Belton Andrews— are unknown. In checking, the Journal found that the DeKalb Coun ty Sheriff had a warrant for the arrest of Andrews in con nection with the second car, a Chevrolet Impala, which he rented from the Hertz Corpor ation on August 16 and did not and the bewildered driver said that the keys had been given to (From Richmond News Leader) | him by Hosea Williams, al though supposedly the car was “bought” in the name of yet another, though absent, demon strator. Hertz obligingly dropped the charges. But the case of the stolen Dodge Dart is still pending. Now any loose organization is likely to find itself with work ers who are less than perfect. The problem is that the fed eral government has decided that Martin Luther King’s SC LC is to be protected from the adverse effects of bad publicity. In Washington Justice De partment officials have refused to answer legitimate enquiries of the Journal for more com plete details of the crimes al leged in the indictment; and in Atlanta, the local Federal of ficials say they have been threatened with loss of their jobs if any of this routine in formation is released. The Journal quoted three of ficials, all of whom feared to allow their names to be used. Said one: Don’t let them tell you this isn't a cover-up. They are covering up for civil rights groups that seem to be getting bigger and stronger than the United States government. The Journal charged that the Justice Department is “block ing action” against Hosea Wil liams, as well as hindering the newspaper investigation. It is true that “civil rights” workers often conceive of their mission as being more more ab ove the law and above their du ty to their country; but when the Justice Department itself expouses this view in the name of law, then the Department should get another name.

HD Clubs have Spring meeting Local man is star pitcher at college Library books on pet care In connection with the oh- servance of “Be Kind To Ani mals” Week, May 1-7, the South Carolina State Library Board has prepared a list of pet care books available at libraries thruout the State. These books are of a general nature. They have been sel ected, according to Miss Nancy Blair, field service librarian, on the basis of their broad interest for pet owners and persons con sidering pet ownership. Public library collections in clude many books of a more specific nature, giving informa tion on almost >ry type ahd breed of animal. . 2 * particular book is not on the local library shelves, it may be obtained on interlibrary loan through the State Library 1 Board, Miss Blair explained. Such loan requests should be placed by the local librarian. . ■ . “Be Kind To Animals” week is sponsored by the American Humane Association and its 700 affiliated humane organiza tions in the United States. This year marks its 52nd observa tion. The annual spring meeting of the County Home Demonstra tion Council was held Wednes day afternoon at Community Hall with 55 members and 12 visitors attending. Mrs. W. C. Koon, president, presided. The meeting opened with the Pledge to the Flag led by Mrs. T. P. Crooks, County Cit izenship Chairman. Mrs. Ira Gibson, County Fam ily Life Chairman, had a most inspiring devotional based on the Lord’s prayer. After the welcome by Mrs. W. E. Wicker, President of the hostess club, guests were rec ognized. Mrs. Joan Chrisley of Merle Norman, introduced Lee Kirby of Belle Dame, Columbia. Mr. Kirby gave a most interesting program on ,Wigs and Hair pieces, using members of the audience as models. Steve Lovelace entertained with several musical selections. A memorial service was led T , by Mrs. Billy Gibson for mem- Mrs - Joe Grant - Newberry hers deceased during the year. During the business session, the president discussed the “Keep South Carolina Beauti ful” program and urged the clubs to participate in the local program. The attendance award went to St. Phillips Home Demon stration Club for having the highest per cent of members present. Mrs. Mildred K. Holi day, County Home Agent, pre sented the award to Mrs. Musco Alewine, club president. B & S Home Demonstration Club was hostess at a social period following the meeting. Tommy Grant, star player for the Newberry College base ball team has carried the In dians along this season both on the mound and at the plate. His pitching record of six wins and three losses is the best on the hurling staff, and his consistent hitting has won more than one ballgame. The versatile senior plays the outfield when he is not pitch ing and is a surprise at bat. He has blasted numerous sing les and consistently shows up with extra base hits. Grant’s best game was ag ainst Elon when he won 1-0 by pitching a 2-hitter. Newberry’s only home victory was against Catawaba in which Grant hurl ed a 3-0 4-hitter. Until Tuesday’s game with Appalachian the dependable pitcher had gone 28 2-3 innings without giving up a run. His earned run average is a re markable 1.18 per game. “My side-arm fastball is the only pitch which is consistently working,” the right-handed senior claims. The opponents remark that everything he throws is working “too well.” Grant is president of t he Block N Club, and has lettered in baseball for the past three years. He is the son of Mr. and Bike deaths caused by carelessness South Carolina’s undesirable record of one bicyclist killed each month this year was main tained during the week of April 18 to 24 when 11-year-old Ter ry Jones of Spartanburg was struck by an automobile and killed three miles north of the city. Terry Jones on April 19 be came victim No. 4 for the year 1966, joining three others who were killed earlier. In each of these cases, some one made an error which led to' the accident: an error that could have been prevented. In fact, South Carolina Highway Department authorities pointed out that 80 per cent of all cy clists killed or injured in traf fic accidents were violating traffic law. The other 20 per cent were caused by errors and reckessness of motor vehicle operators. National figures show that 500 bicyclists die in the U. S. each year, quite needlessly. More than 50 per cent occur at intersections. Seventy percent happen in daylight. The Spartanburg youth - ap parently rode his bike from a side road into the path of the oncoming automobile, Highway Patrol reports indicated. This is often the way bike accidents occur . . . particularly those involving young children who fail to see the danger in what they are doing. Two things must be done to reduce such tragedies, Highway officials point out. First, parents of children riding bicy cles must impress on the young sters the safety rules to fol low when riding in streets and roads. Always there is some danger involved, but some of the danger can be avoided if the cyclists use the' lighter traveled streets. Second, auto mobile drivers should watch for youngsters on bikes and ex pect them to be careless with their riding. An alert driver is one who may be able to stop in time. As a parent, do you allow your children to ride bikes in busy streets? the Highway De partment asks. Medicare time is extended Older people in the Green wood area who did not sign up for the voluntary medical in surance under Medicare before the close of the first enrollment period on March 31 have been given a little more time, Miss Martha Pressly, Social Security District Manager, announced to day. In legislation, signed last week, Congress Tias extended until May 31 the deadline for enrollment by persons 65 or over. Nearly 90 percent of the Na tion’s elderly were enrolled for the medical insurance when social security offices closed at midnight on March 31, she said. Only 5 per cent had turned down the protection which sup plements the basic hospital in surance provided persons 65 and over. Another 6 per cent had not made up their minds either way or else were not aware of the deadline and the need to sign up for the supplementary pro tection. Will You BUILD? or BUY?

Representatives of 22 South Carolina counties, along with staff members of the State Development Board and public utilities, left Sunday for New York today and will return to the State on Thursday.
