If Opening Up Of Easing Places NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) A mass Negro demonstration, touched off by an explosion which wrecked a Negro city councilman's home, ended Tuesday with Mayor Ben West's affirmation that he favors desegregation of all-white eating facilities. West told a group of about 3,000 Negroes who marched on City Hall he thought it was wrong to discriminate against anyone.

The mayor agreed with the Negro students that lunch counters and other eating facilities should be desegregated but added it would be a matter for the merchants to decide. "I cannot tell a businessman how to run his business," he said. A bitter debate, between West and a Negro minister, the Rev. C. ivian preceded his Vivian read a prepared statement which charged West with lack of decision and not using the moral weight of his office in the racial conflict.

(AP Wirephoto) Weekend Michigan Storm Discussed GRAND RAPIDS (AP) A baby tornado which stnick unannounced last Saturday irfght with minor damage in suburban Wyoming left new problems today for weather forecasters and civil defense leaders.

Meteorologist Fred A. Baughman and 'Kent County Civil Defense Director Jack Barnes agreed that the twister left both organizations with nothing to do but investigate the damage. Both officials said they were' at-temping to work out an early date for a meeting to coordinate organization efforts with reports from the general public in severe weather periods. A tornado emergency program was discussed at Grand Rapids 11 days ago by Weather Bureau personnel and 62 members of CD and sheriff's offices from 11 counties. Meanwhile, Baughman said the severe weather center at Kansas City had issued no forecast of tornadoes in the Grand Rapids area last Saturday night.

He noted, however, that the Muskegon weather station radar had spotted a storm over Lake Michigan late Saturday night and reported it to Kansas City. But, said Baughman, officials at the center apparently did not consider the storm formation hazardous and did not extend the tornado forecast in effect for southeastern Michigan to include the Grand Rapids area.

Davis a ballad singer who wants to go fishing played a peace and harmony tune that won a record vote and the governorship of Louisiana yesterday. "All I want to do now is to catch two or three big catfish," said the 58-year-old Democrat after filling up a massive lead over the strongest Republican opposition in years. Davis, Louisiana's governor from 1955 to 1948, figured to be able to go fishing without a care soon after the exceptional general election vote tabulation started. With 2,055 of 2,109 precincts reporting, Davis showed 398,961 votes, a startling showing for a Louisiana general election when the Democratic nominee is considered a certan victor. Francis Grevemberg, former state police chief, the strongest Republican candidate offered in many decades, made the best GOP snowing in memory, but was lost in the Davis avalanche with 83,976 votes.
