The city reported that dozen of owners of substandard properties have requested detailed inspections and many have rehabilitated the dwellings well in advance of the effective date of the ordinance. Some 150 old-type hpuses were razed during the year. Other elements of progress reported by Montgomery include: Adoption by the planning commission of a land use plan covering residential, commercial and industrial purposes. Revision of the zoning ordinance and subdivision regulations. Completion of a traffic flow map and improvements in traffic control including new traffic signals and experiments with radar controlled stop signals.

Implementations of the community facilities plan by the construction of three modern community buildings with facilities for administration, recreation and neighborhood meetings. A contract for a fourth community center was awarded April 5. Erection of a $250,000 junior high school on federally donated land near the Veterans Hospital. Construction of two industrial factory-type warehouses in previously blighted areas. Completion of the Montgomery County Courthouse.

Montgomery also reported improvements in the State Capitol area. As even-story state administration building occupies area cleared in 1956.

and ahalf-block area north of the Capitol has been cleared of substandard dwellings and will be used for parking pending contruction of another state office building. The housing authority has been assigned responsibility for the relocation in standard housing of families displaced by urban reactions and it reported a critical shortage of housing for non-white citizens. Applications have been made for Section 221 FHA mortgage insurance assistance. White housing of all types is said to be in ample supply. In summarizing its plans for the coming year, Montgomery said it will increase the number of inspectors in the health and building departments, build a $1,000,000 museum and public library, and two additional community buildings, and complete installation of sanitary sewer facilities throughout the city.

The city entered its fourth year this week with the recertifica-tion of its workable program until Sept. 1, 1959, by Housing Administrator Albert M. Cole. Progress made during the past year included: The city's two urban renewal projects were advanced. Site improvements are in place and land is available for disposition in the case of the North Montgomery project and land acquisition is proceeding in the Houston Hills project area.

Clearance of the latter will wait on construction of 248 low-rent units now under contract which will rehouse families displaced in the project area. Adoption of a minimum housing code to become effective Oct. 1, Bonifay (Continued From Page 1) will ask Gov. LeRoy Collins of Florida for assurance of Peterson's safe conduct and a fair trial. There has been no undue delay in handling the request, Gutman said.

Ira Gene Carnley, 26, and his daughter, Earnestine, 2, were hacked to death in their small farm home near Bonifay early June 11. Mrs. Carnley, 21; a son. Herschel, 6r and a daughter, Ger- aldine, 4, were beaten severely. Mrs.

Carnley said a Negro man raped and beat her and bludg eoned the children when they tried to help her. A small baby was not harmed. Gov. LeRoy Collins of Florida has requested that Harriman or der Peterson's extradition. Peterson had been released from a state road camp near Bonifay the day before the slay-ings.

He had served a two-year term for burglary. The man joined a transient farm crew. He was taken into custody on a farm near Buffalo, N.Y., on a fugitive charge June 22. Peterson's defense attorney William Sims, said Peterson will fight extradition. Sims is president of the Buffalo chapter of the National Assn.

for the Advance ment of Colored People. Fitzpatrick said he was demanding the extradition of the man because the time during which New York may hold Peter son is rapidly expiring. He said he also feared Peterson might insitute habeas corpus proceed ings seeking his freedom. The judge based his demand for extradition on provisions of Article 4, Section 2 of the fed era! Constitution which say: "A person charged in any state with treason, felony or other crime who shall flee from justice and be found in another state shall, on demand of the executive authority of the state from which he fled, be delivered up to or be removed to the state having jurisdiction of the crime Fitzpatrick said that if New York releases Peterson or grants him asylum, he will authorize publication of the grand jury testi mony upon written application of the state's attorney. Quemoy (Continued From Page 1) cards.

Homes also were entered for the same purpose. Authorities said the check was being made on orders of the Formosa garrison command, which is responsible for internal security on the islands. The Red invasion warning brought some speculation that the Communists would not broadcast it in advance if they really intend ed to invade the Quemoy area. The Quemoys, just off Red Chi na and 120 miles west of Formosa, reportedly are defended by more than 50,000 Nationalist soldiers. Peiping's unusual tactic of apparently telegraphing an invasion punch obviously was intended to weaken the morale of the dug-in garrison.

But it meshed with Nationalist intelligence reports of Red Chi nese troops and sea movements that were interpreted as the prelude to attack somewhere in Formosa Strait. Two Communist marine divisions and 30 to 40 small warships were reported assembled at Santu Bay, about a 10-hour run north of Quemoy. OUTER ISLANDS The comparative lull in the shelling of Quemoy and its outer islands, hard by the Communist mainland, was regarded here as ominous. Both Peiping's Japanese lan guage radio broadcast, heard in Tokyo, and a Red China news service dispatch in Hong Kong, declared invasion of Quemoy was near. "You are advised at this critical moment to surrender," the warn ing said.

"Don't sell your lives for Chiang Kai-shek. Quemoy is now facing a hopeless situation. The dispatch to Hong Kong said the warning, addressed to Gen. Hu Lien, the Quemoy commander, and his deputy, Li Yun-cheng, was delivered Wednesday, pre sumably in leaflets fired in shells. from the mainland five miles away.

It claimed that Quemoy was sealed off from Formosa, 105 miles away, by powerful Red ar-j tillery and air and navy forces and that neither reinforcement nor withdrawal by the garrison J. E.

Rickover Medal Approved By lkc WASHINGTON (AD Presi- dent Eisenhower Thursday signed into law legislation directing the award of a gold medal to Adm. Hyman G. Rickover, Navy nuclear power expert. The bill was rushed through the final days of the recent session of Congress after Rickover, in charge of the Navy's nuclear submarine program, was not invited to White House ceremonies announcing the first trip under North Polar ice by the atom-powered Nautilus. The legislation directs the secretary of the Treasury and the chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission to design and produce an appropriate gold medal, costing up to $2,500.

TV Quiz (Continued From Page 1) me, then I had no right to win the money. "I lost honestly, At no time was any pressure put upon me. At no time was I coached or tutored." The producers of the "21" NBC television program. Jack Barry and Dan Enright, issued a state ment saying Stempel's charges were "entirely spurious and mali cious." NBC issued a statement simultaneously saying the charges were "utterly baseless and untrue." The network said it learned of them over a year ago and an. investigation turned up nothing to substantiate them.

Stempel, according to the news paper, said one of the show's pro ducers told him he could make a lot of money by "playing ball" when he first went on the program in 1956. Subsequently, he was quoted, a written agreement was given him, specifying ahead of time how much he would win on each tele cast. He also was instructed on how to "bite my lips, clench my fists. look agonized and at the last mo ment make my face light up as if the answer had just come to me." Stempel said program officials finally decided his usefulness was finished. Before his final appear ance he told two friends he would lose that evening.

Hogan made his report on the official probe at a news conference, which followed his first full day of personal direction of the inquiry. The investigation, triggered by a complaint by a disgruntled competitor on "Dotto," began while flogan was attending the Demo cratic state convention in Buffalo where he was nominated for the U.S. Senate. Thus far more than a dozen contestants of various shows have been questioned, Hogan said, and full cooperation is being given by sponsors, networks and advertis ing agencies.

Kirkpatrick ruled the slaying "justifiable homicide. Police officials said that in view of the coroner's ruling, no further investigation of the incident is planned. Detectives said a white woman had complained that a Negro had called her on several occasions using vulgar language.

She said the caller gave his name as "John May" and said he worked at the restaurant. He called Wednesday night and told her he would call back when he cot to work "around 11, po lice said. Arrangements were made for the woman's husband to call headquarters when he tele phoned again. At 11:50 p.m., the report came that the Negro was making his promised call. McKenzie and Reynolds drove to the restaurant and saw Foster talking on the phone and using "vulgar lan guage." OFFICERS KNOCKED "We knocked on the door and he came to the door and asked who it was," McKenzie said, "and we identified ourselves." The officer said the youth re plied: "You can't come in.

I've got the door locked and I'm not going with you." The detectives pulled back on the door and Foster ran through the kitchen. The officers said they ran to another rear door and jerked it open. Foster jumped through the doorway, the officers said, knocked Reynolds to the ground and "grabbed" McKenzie McKenzie said he "snatched away" from Foster and at the same time fired his pistol. "I don't know if I hit him that shot," McKenzie said, "but as he kept grabbing I kept shooting until he fell." The officers said that when they opened the back door, Foster had "an iron part from some scales" in his hand. They said they told Foster he was under arrest just before he knocked Reynolds to the ground.

McKenzie said Foster was at tempting to strike him with the iron object when he opened fire Faubus (Continued From Page 1) the future pace of Central High School integration.

The Legislature empowered Faubus in the future to close anyi public school threatened by forci ble integration, either through court edict or federal armed strength. His decision in such a case would be subject to ratification by the voters of the school district 38; Montgomery was named as the third safest city in the nation Thursday in the populaton category of cities by the National Safety Council.

The naming of the three safest cities in each population group was based on cities having the best traffic record so far this year. Montgomery has had two traffic fatalities so far this year. There was one death in January, a four-month-old child, and one in February, a 65-year-old pedes trian. The National Safety Council also noted Thursday that the country's traffic death toll dropped 3 per cent in July com pared to the same month last year, representing a saving of 100 lives. The council said 3,140 deaths; were reported across the nation against 3.240 in July 1957.

It was the llth month in a row and the 19th in the last 20 to show a drop in traffic fatalities from the same month the preceding year. The toll so far this year is 7 per cent below last year at the 7-month point 19,380 against 20,750 in 1957. The council estimated 650,000 persons have been disabled by accidents this year, compared with 700,000 for the same period last year. Travel was up about one per cent the first five months of this year, the council said, while deaths dropped 7 per cent. This yielded a record low death rate of 5.1 for every 100 million miles of vehicle travel.

I The council said 27 states had fewer traffic deaths this July than last, with 21 showing increases. A 4 per cent decrease was reported by 661 cities of more than 10.000 population. The three states with the greatest decreases were West Virginia, 32 per cent; Connecticut, 29 per cent, and South Carolina, 26 per cent. The three cities in each popula tion group with the best traffic record so far this year, ranked according to the number of deaths for every 10,000 registered vehicles, were: More than one million population: Detroit 2.3; Chicago 2.7; Philadelphia, 2.9. 750.000-one million: St.

In another case, the Supremej i -i i i 1 i i destructive of democratic govern ment." The Justice Department, siding with the NAACP, called for the Supreme Court to hand down a (Continued From Page 1) definitive decision and allow no delay in integration. There was a question how this squared with President Eisenhower's suggestion Wednesday that integration should be a gradual matter. White House press secretary James C. Hagerty said later Eisenhower okayed the Justice Department argument in advance. All nine members of the Supreme Court hurried back to Washington for their emergency session the fifth in nearly 40 years.

Only matters of surpassing importance or urgency bring the justices back for special terms Elements of both are present in the integration crisis. Little Rock schools are scheu uled to reopen Sept. 8, with the state embarked on a course of ac tion to shut them down rather than submit to forced mingling of the races. The Little Rock case has rami fications extending far beyond the city's borders. Virginia, too, for example, has laws which would permit closing schools.

The sched ulcd opening date of the fall term J'ff J. in Virginia varies in auiereni sec tions from Sept. 2 to Sept. 8. Throughout the South, eyes were on the Supreme Court for guidance on what to expect in the way of specific pointers on how and when to carry out the tribunal's 1954 ban on segregated public schools.

By their unwavering attention and a stream of questions, the black-robed justices showed their interest and concern in the case Not one missed getting in on the questioning at one point or an other. BACK IS CENTRAL While the questions from the bench are no reliable guide to how justices may be leaning, the in quiries did seem to show an in terest in getting seven Negro stu dents back into Little Rock's Cen tral High. Richard Butler, attorney for the Little Rock School Board, said that if that happens "there would be troops back in Little Rock to maintain law and order." Tall, slow-s peaking, Butler called on the court to permit "patience and forbearance." UNTENABLE POSITION He said the Little Rock School Board is caught in an untenable position, in which integrated schools cannot operate without the presence of troops and the educational program cannot be carried on with troops stationed on grounds and corridors. Chief Justice Warren told But- POLICE REPORTS John Stephenson of 802 Herron St. reported he was swindled out of $34 by a man posing as an employe of the First National Bank and claiming he was selling repossessed television sets, police said.

Detectives S. E. Sellers and P. L. Berrey said Stephenson paid the man the money as down payment on one of the sets and was told the bank would deliver the set.

When the set was not delivered the bank was contacted and re ported that the man was not employed by the bank and no such sales were being made by the bank. Mrs. Ruth Becker of 2604 Bur ton reported a tire and wheel, valued at $30. were stolen from her 1955 sedan automobile Thurs day while it was parked on the north side of Robert E.

Capt. W. H. Arnold, 1813 Mid way told police $30 was stol en from a glass jar in the closet of his home during the past eight weeks. The house reportedly was not burglarized.

A 13-year-old Negro, identified as Alvin Dexter, escaped from the Alabama Industrial School for Negro Children at Mt. Meigs Thursday, police reported. The ycuth was reported by police here to be serving time for the at tempted theft of an automobile. He was described as being 5 feet tall, weighing 120 pounds with light brown skin and brown clothes and believed to be trying the court recognizes "the very1 great problem your school board has." "But," Warren asked, "can we afford to defer a program of this kind merely because there are ele ments in a community that will commit violence to prevent it from going into effect?" The cube-shaped courtroom of marble was packed to the walls with spectators, interested law yers and newsmen. Outside, hun dreds stood in line waiting for a chance to get in.

Many in and outside the chamber were Negroes. The NAACP general counsel, Thurgood Marshall, contended that further delay in starting inte gration would be bowing to the same kind of disorder that broke out last year when there was mob violence over the admission of a group of Negro pupils to the school. Marshall, a tall Negro with a long record of success in civil rights cases, summed up his argu ment this way: "You don't close the banks. You put the bank robbers in jail." Sales Tax (Continued From Page 1) manent injunction against its enforcement. The ordinance levies a license tax on merchants and others who sell at retail, the amount of the license being computed on gross sales.

Merchants were given the option of absorbing the tax or adding it to the price of goods. Complainants said the ordi nance was "in effect a sales tax which the commission was without authority to impose. The court, however, cited a suit in volving the City of Dadeville which upheld the right to tax retail sales based on gross receipts, providing that the merchant was given an option on whether to absorb the tax or pass it to the consumer. "Specific authority has been conferred upon municipalities to impose a license upon business," the opinion said. Regarding a contention that the ordinance did not contain statements of its urgency "and is not for immediate preservation of public health or safety," the court said that state law requir ing such statements was not intended by the legislature to apply to revenue measures To the charge that the tax constituted "double taxation," the court replied that double taxa tion is not prohibited although the court has ruled it is to be avoided wherever possible "Whether the result is logical or fair is not a question of judicial concern but should be ad dressed to the City Commission," the ruling said.

The court said no facts were set out to uphold the allegation that the tax "is confiscatory" and deprives complainants of lib erty and property without due process of law. Another allegation was that in providing exemptions as to non resident salesmen, the ordinance violated the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment of the U. S. Constitution. The court said "any levy is not bound to tax every member or none; it may make distinc- Hons nf rleerpe havinff ration- o- al bases." COMMISSION STATEMENT The full statement of the City Commission on the ruling follows: "The Honorable Alabama Supreme Court's decision declaring the city ordinance levying a "so-called city sales tax" con stitutional on its merits is the signal for our great city to go forward and take its place among the other great cities throughout the nation.

"The city can continue to grow in a progressive and orderly man ner. "Although no one likes a tax of any kind but the "so-called sales tax" is the fairest and most equitable that can be lev ied. All of our citizens will have the opportuntiy to participate in the support of their local govern ment. The fact that the tax was questioned certainly has not of fended anyone in the city, for any stockholder in a corporation should be vigilant as to what is going on and at any time they want to question anything they have the privilege.
