At least two Negroes were struck by flying rocks hurled by a jeering crowd from across tlie street and taken to physicians for treatment.

City law director Eugene Alvey said "it would be decided later" if any demonstrators would be cited for contempt of court The Negro leadei-ship is seeking to dissolve the injunction in U.S. Disti-ict Court, claiming tlie order volates constitutional rights of assembly and petition. At a meeting held before the march, the Rev. A. D.

Williams King, brother of Dr. Martin Luther King, promised "to walk the streets until they cut the streets from under us" in pursuit of an ordinance which would prohibit discrimination in the sale or rental of homes. King said city police like to "God's law" to violate the injunction and said "an unjust law is as near nothing as you can find." "We must let the city and the nation know that we won't accept second class citizenship when we pay first-class money," he said, and urged the open housing advocates join with the local NAACP in a boycott of downtown stores announced for today.

One attack was against a pacification team near Ban Me Thuot, in the centi-ai highlands, and the other against a team near My Tho, in the Mekong Delta. The headquarters said the teams suffered light casualties. North Vietnam today described South Vietnamese Premier Nguyen Cao Ky's plan to buUd a little Maginot Line south of the demilitarized zone "a foolish design." Asserting that "the enemy's 'thick banners' such as Saigon, Da Nang, Chu Lai and other strongholds are defenseless," the North Vietnamese Communist party newspaper Nhan Dan asked: "How could the enemy incapable of defending such tiny areas defend a larger area like the one running below the buffer zones?" Nhan Dan said Ky's barrier would be "but a big 'no-man's- land' that "would tie down the enemy who is doomed to complete coHapss," Maurice Coats, associate director of the Illinois Arts Council, was in Mt. Vemon Monday conferring with a group of citizens concerning the desirability and feasibility of estabUshing a Mt Vemon Arts Coimcil.

Render, Mrs. L. Starman, Mrs. J. C.

Starr, and C. L. Tveinfurth. After a discussion of the advantages to be gained from a cooperative effort of all of the organizations within the community interested in the arts, it was voted that a pro-tem Arts Council for Mt. Vemon be formed.

One of the first steps taken by the council might be in 'he area of planning an overall calendar of events for the coming year. During the discussion Coats made it clear that this organization, though interested in raising the cultural level throughout the state and increasing the emjoyment and appreciation of the arts, is purely interested in Vernon's Arts Council in an advisoiy capacity. There must be within the community a desire for a coordinated pi'ograni and interested and capable citizens willing to work for such a progi-am for the Arts Council to be effective. An Arts CouncU could eventually serve such useful purposes as conducting a fund campaign in behalf of all its member organizations, planning and constioicting cultural centers, encouraging broader conmiu- nity paiticipation in the arts festivals, and acting as a uni- through such projects as arts ted public voice on community issues affecting the arts.

No reporting date bade to the directors as a whole by the subcommittee has been set, but an effort will be made to coinplete tiie job as swiftly as possibly, Dillingham said, and added, "I vn fully aware that the Chamber's intentions can be misconstrued. However, our directors feel there is a need for clarification with existing conditions in the matter utility rates and services.

C3iamber te interested In facts and the sub-committee Is being named to obtain such information for no other reason than to properly inform our membership and others, who from time to time have, and will in the future, inquire as to what our citizens can expect in respect to utility services, whether he be a newcomer or not," said Dillingham. Dillingham also said he did not know of the individual feelings of Chamber directors in regards to utility services and rates; however, "Whether or not the board as a whole will make some kind of recommendations after the sub-committee reports will be a matter for a deci- by the entire board of directors." The Chamcr directors went on record approving a suggestion by the (Chamber manager that a Salute to Jefferson county labor in the form of a dinner be held within the next two months, probably early in June.
