City Prosecutor Eugene Loe called bus driver Jv F. Blake to tell how Rosa Parks refused to leave a seat in the white section and move to the Negro section in the rear last Thursday night. Blake said he asked the Negro woman and other Negro passengers to move to the rear of the bus but the Parks woman refused to leave her seat. Blake said there were 22 Negroes and 14 whites seated in the 36-seat bus. He sought to equalize the seating, he.

said, by asking some of the Negroes to move to the rear. Loe asked Judge Scott to amend the complaint against the Parks woman to make the warrant read a violation of the state law instead of the city ordinance. Gray objected but Judge Scott allowed the amendment. The state law sets forth as illegal the failure by any person to comply with the assignment or reassignment order of a bus driver to enforce separate facilities for the white and Negro races. Gray objected that the state law was not a city law and could not pertain to his client.

Loe replied the state law covered all transportation. Passed by the Legislature in 1947, the state statute authorizes bus companies to provide and enforce separate facilities for White and Negro races. Violation is punishable by a maximum fine of $500.

Several buses seen on downtown streets carried nothing but white passengers from front to rear. Several thousand Negroes use the buses on a normal day. Police cars and motorcycles followed the buses periodically to prevent trouble after Sellers said some Negroes reported they were threatened with violence if they rode buses yesterday.

The circulars distributed in Negro residential districts Saturday urging the boycott yesterday in protest to the arrest of Rosa Parks were not signed. The Rev. A. W. Wilson, pastor of the Negro church where the meeting was to be held, said he would not disclose "under any circumstances" the names of those who asked permission to use the church for the meeting.

Ministers of various churches led the meeting last night. Earlier, Bagley had issued a statement saying the bus company "is sorry if anyone expects us to be exempt from any state or city law." In the Rosa Parks case yesterday, the city was prepared to offer testimony from 11 witnesses. Only three, Blake and two women passengers testified. One of the women said there was an empty seat where Rosa Parks could have sat if she had moved to the rear. As the boycott started yesterday morning, Negroes stood on downtown street corners waiting for rides or piled into taxicabs.

Many walked two or three miles to work in the crisp cold weather. Most Negro children walked to school and there was a relay auto pickup system operating throughout most of the day.

For it is not at all unusual fop Cadillac owners to salute one another as they pass on the highway or to exchange approving nods as they wait at the traffic light. Cadillac owners, you see, know that they have tt least one mutual friend in the Cadillac car.

And the chances are that if they were to meet, they would find they had a great deal more in common than just their affection for the "car of cars." For Cadillac owners, taking them by and large, are people who share a keen appreciation for the finer things in life. And, generally speaking, they are people of sound judgment and unusual practical wisdom. They have learned, for instance how reasonable a new Cadillac can be insofar as original cost is concerned. They have seen for themselves how economical a Cadillac is to operate through the miles and how dependable it is through the months. And they have savored that final reward for choosing the "car of cars" Cadillac's extraordi-nary resale value.
