Seven Eastern Kentucky counties have been selected for the start of "Operation Hope," project director Edward Ellis said yesterday. They are Wolfe, Martin, Owsley, Lee, Morgan, Magoffin and Elliott.

Each county was picked on the basis of low per capita income and lack of local resources.

Another 2,000 saw the 2V2-hour ceremony on closed-circuit television. TV consoles were set up in the church's adjoining education building, and a portable was propped on the sill of a stained glass window for sidewalk viewers. Dr. King's remarks on the local racial situation came in response to questions at an afternoon press conference.

He congratulated Louisville and Kentucky for making "meaningful strides" toward equal opportunity, calling the city "one of the brightest spots in the border states." Warns Of Complacency But he added that the city and the commonwealth have "a long, long way to go" and cautioned against a complacency that focuses on "our glorious yesterdays."

"Tiro-Fijos" is the word the Dominicans apply only to the American sharpshooters in the silo; and except for the children, it is used in awe.

It is a new word, post-revolution, a hybrid of tiro, meaning shot, and fijos, meaning stick. From the silo on the east bank, the Tiro-Fijos command the duced "ghettoes of frustration." He did not say which Northern cities are included in his plans. (Until his recent appearance in Boston, Dr. King had confined his civil rights activities to Southern areas.) Dr. King also welcomed the new Kentucky Christian Leadership Conference (KCLC) as an affiliate of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, which he heads.

Full Backing Promised The KCLC, he said, will have Ihome. Casework services to overcome the attitudes of discouragement and dependency. Ellis, who recently resigned as medicare director in the Economic Security Department, said local workers are being recruited as homemakers, caseworkers and day care staffers. Each county will furnish 14 workers, who will be trained dn summer courses at Eastern Kentucky State College and by the Child Welfare Department. The project will begin when the school term does in the fall.

The first year's operation will be financed by a $661,691 federal grant. Another 175 counties throughout the United States also will get similar anti-poverty aid. Ellis also announced the ap rebel sector of downtown Santo Domingo. The trouble-plagued Belle of Louisville suffered another embarrassment Saturday night. Her lights went out in the middle of an Ohio River cruise.

The chairman of the Louisville and Jefferson County Recreation Board, which operates the steamboat, said the Belle switched to her auxiliary generating system to restore enough lighting to return to shore. Chairman C. W. Stoll said the trouble developed during a cruise chartered by a Wag-gener High School group. He said the students brought along too many electrical musical instruments guitars and the like apparently overloading the boat's electrical system.

About 400 passengers went on the cruise, wrhich was cut to two hours. Damage to the Belle was minor, Stoll said. Yesterday, he said, the boat resumed her cruise schedule and performed with pep. Stoll said a press conference would be held about 9 this morning aboard the Belle to drown rumors that the boat was past her prime.

Johnson (of Mississippi). "Morning will come. I've seen the lightning flash and heard the thunder roll." 'Some' To Comply At his press conference, Dr. King called the economic boycott against Alabama that he proposed last month "quite effective." "Some" companies have promised to comply with the boycott by not erecting new plants in Alabama, he said. He declined to identify them or say how many.

He said Alabama Negroes have initiated their own boycotts against white businesses in the city of Selma and the counties of Perry and Wilcox. "Some 200" Negroes in Selma, he said, have lost their jobs in the wake of the recent voting rights drive and the march to 'Montgomery. But generally, he added, conditions have "improved." Before the service, Dr. King was given a check for $9,000 from Operation Selma, a Louisville group formed earlier this year to aid Alabama civil rights workers. Vote Disappointing On other issues, Dr.

King expressed disappointment with the defeat in the Senate of an anti-poll tax amendment to the voting rights bill. He said, however, he is optimistic that the House will vote for the ban.

Ro Gardner, publisher of The Hickman Courier, summed up the importance of the port They have requested the Louisville and Jefferson County school superintendents to ask bureau officials to give up the plan in the interest of harmony on the school issue. "We feel that introduction of a reapportionment resolution would bring up the old fight and take the play away from the real issue schools," Rep. James M.

Caldwell said yesterday. Noe, an Hoose Agreed The approach was agreed on Saturday at a closed meeting in Louisville attended by 15 of the county's 23 legislators. Caldwell, a Republican from the 47th District, said City Supt. Sam Noe and County Supt. Richard Van Hoose been credited with sparking the efforts that led to acquisition of the power system, development of the Hickman river port and landing the big industrial plum.

Actually, the latest community development is the second big one in the town's 146-year history. Hickman prospered in the pre-World War II days with the Mengel Box Co. plant that employed more than 1,000 men. But the factory burned in the early 1940's and was never rebuilt. The economy sagged and never fully recovered.

The town's population dwindled from more than 2,000 to about 1,400. But by 1960, the population had risen to 1,519 and today, experience its greatest population spurt. Is Westernmost City Abundant electrical, water, natural gas and transportation facilities probably were factors in Hickman winning the new factory, but there are those who admit that Basic Carbon has confided that the company found here the type of community spirit and hos-pitableness it was searching for. The first community redevelopment efforts here came when the youth movement launched a drive to buy Kentucky Utilities power By HARRY BOLSER Courier-Journal West Kentucky Bureau Hickman, Ky. There is a new and invigorating atmosphere here.

The color and romance that belong to most Mississippi River towns are still present, but the old reference, "a sleepy little town," no longer seems to fit. There is bustle and activity everywhere. Just south of the city limits earth moving equipment is preparing the site of a new Basic Carbon Corp. electronics plant that will employ about 1,000 workers. A mile away more than 200 women work in a clothing manufacturing plant.

Hickman is on the move industrially and economically. Recently the town acquired its own electric power distribution system. It already was operating its own natural gas, water and sewer systems. Cheap power, gas and water awaits any industrial firm interested in locating a new plant in a town with such facilites, plus rail and water transportation. Factory Burned In '40s A youth movement within the city's civic structure has will enlarge the call.

That's because the assembly is a nonpartisan group." The Farm Bureau indicated last month that it would ask Kentucky's legislators to pass a reapportionment resolution similar to one already adopted by more than a score of states. Its purpose would be to modify the 1962 "one man, one vote" dictum of the U.S. Supreme Court. Amendment Goal Its goal is an amendment to the U.S. Constitution allowing reapportionment of one house of state legislatures on a basis other than population.

The bureau's hopes of introducing the resolution have been buoyed by a ruling by Kentucky Atty. Gen. Robert Matthews. Matthews held last month that the legislature could urge Congress, by way of a resolution, to call a constitutional convention to propose an amendment. The opinion added that the governor's call for a special session doesn't have to include mention of the resolution.
