Our people didnt get served though, he added, "and there will be more such sit-ins if the situation isnt ironed out. The revelation of the sit-in came as the result of a letter written to the Council by Watkins protesting the action of the restaurants management in refusing to serve a busload of Negro tourists several weeks ago who had been referred to the restaurant as "a good place to eat. "After entering the place and taking their seats, they were flatly refused service because of racial discrimination practiced by the management, Watkins wrote.

"To put it mildly, the local branch of the NAACP and its membership is thoroughly disappointed and disgusted with this type of hospitality shown to certain racial groups in our fair city. "In bringing this matter to your attention, I would like to also in a NOTICE OOPS By WILLIAM HOYT The sit in demonstration, tli at non-violent protest against racial discrimination which is being increasingly used by minority groups in the South, has spread to Flagstaff. Moncemed Flagstaff city coun-cTnien received that unhappy news this morning from Joseph Watkins, president of the Mtfhern Arizona branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (N-AACP). Watkins revealed to the Coun-cd that a sit-in demonstration, such as those which have been held in recent months in many southern cities, was held in Flagstaff Sunday at a South Side restaurant to protest refusal of the management to serve Negroes. The sit-in was conducted by 10 members of the NAACPs local Youth Council, Watkins said, lasted two and a half hours, and caused no disturbance whatsoever.

In fact, Watkins told the Council, I dont think anybody His First Objective Voting Coconino County voters seemed to be following the example of their fellows all over the state today as they turned out in minimum numbers to cast their ballots in the lack luster primary election. only two major County contests for the offices of Sheriff and State Senator to attract them, voters were coming in slowly to four key precincts in Flagstaff itself. At Flagstaff Number One, with 353 persons eligible to cast their ballots, only 98 had voted by a. m. and in Flagstaff Number Two, located at South Beaver School, 62 out of a possible 384 eligible voters had cast their ballots just before noon.

At 7:30 a. Mr. and Mrs. Joe Kahlen, living in the married students housing at ASC, became the proud parents of a seven-pound, four-ounce baby boy in Flagstaff Hospital.

But the babys maternal grandmother, Mrs. W. E. Taylor, was serving as marshal on the board and she was called to Flagstaff around 1 a. m.

to be on hand when the baby arrived. So, she awakened her husband and told him to take her place on the board. A very sleepy Mr. Taylor promised he W'ould and at 6 a. m.

And throughout the state the story was the same.

Pre-election forecasts predicted that only about 55 per cent of the stales 410,135 eligible voters would turn out and the showing in the two major counties of Pima and Maricopa just before noon seemed to bear out that prediction. The polls close at 7 p.m. tonight and election officials were looking for a very slight pickup before that time, with the heaviest time expected to be during the noon hour and around quitting time between 5 and 6 p.m. Dickinson as another voter waits behind him. The officials at the precinct one of the countys largest reported the turnout had been light during the early hours, but that the rate of oters was beginning to slowly pick up around noon.

Here he is shown signing the register with Election Clerk Tliursie form you that the NAACP is planning and will take steps immediately to rectify this situation, unless a change of policy is forthcoming. However, Watkins assured the Council in conclusion you may be sure that whatever ethods we employ or encourage will be peaceful. Watkins, under questioning by couneilmen, stressed that the problem existed only at the designated restaurant and that his organization has no complaints against any other restaurants, motels or other public places in Flagstaff.

He added that the NAACP has received complaints about the restaurant in question over a period of four years, includuig protests from an Air Force lieutenant and State Department employe stationed in Southeast Asia. The couneilmen, though informed by City Attorney Neil Christensen that there is no present action they could take officially at this time, individually deplored the situ-(Conlinued on Page 2) the Houston Ministerial Association Monday night. In a dramatic televised half hour and a subsequent extended question period, Kennedy said in a broad-ranging discussion he supports separation of church and state so strongly that if elected he would resign the presidency should its duties conflict with the tenets of his faith. He insisted this never could happen. And he fielded a series of prepared questions which seemed to be designed to show that no matter what statements he might make, his church would not influence his course in office.

High sources said it appeared most likely that Eisenhower would accept the invitation sometime after Jan. 20 when he steps out of office. Kennedy Urges Strong America to Keep Peace Tuesday, September 13, 1960 Kasavubu Moves Fast After Action LEOPOLDVILLE, The Congo (AP) The United Nations relaxed its restrictions on aii ports and broadcasting in the Congo today and President Joseph Kasavubu sought quickly to gain the upper hand via the radio. Congolese soldiers loyal to the stocky, usually phlegmatic Congo president surrounded the Leopoldville radio station shortly after the U. N.

ban on political broadcasts was lifted. The radio station had been Premier Patrice Lumumbas first objective after he was released from a brief internment Monday. Jean Bolikango, designated as minister of information in the Kasavubu-approved Cabinet of Joseph Ileo, broadcast his first appeal to the Congolese. Bolikango promised an all-out effort to find employment and food for the masses. He announced that Kasavubu has signed new' arrest warrants for Lumunv oa and six of his ministers.

Lumumba was deposed officially as premier eight days ago, by Kasavubu order, but has held onto the job. Bolikango said today Lumumba is in hiding but we will find him for the good of the country. U. N. soldiers had been withdrawn from the radio station and white-helmeted troops supporting Kasavubu put their own machine guns into position outside the building.

Shortly after his broadcast, Bolikango was driven under an escort to the Memline Hotel Before some 40 newsmen, he pleaded for the Wests help for the chaotic Congo.

The Democratic party wants to win this election, not to preside over the liquidation of the free world, or the destruction of mankind, but to achieve peace and regain our security by rebuilding Americas strength. Kennedy pushed ahead with efforts to convince Protestant Texas and with it other fundamentalist religious areas that his Catholic should not bar his election as president. The Democratic presidential nominee scored w'hat he and his associates regarded as a ten-strike in a question and answer period with about 500 members of The 1938 hurricane battered Connecticut, Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts, killing about 600 and causing some $500 million in property damage. New York City was flicked by Donna on her northward course, virtually emptying the metropolis busy streets with a combination of fierce winds and drenching rain. Schools were closed.

Streets were turned into swirling, foamy rivers and the Hudson River spew'ed across the West Side Highway, one of Manhattan's busiest traffic arteries. Between Florida and New England, the hurricane roared with terrifying fury, buffeting Virginia, Maryland, and North Carolina. Morehead City, N. was hit with particular force. Japan Renews Invitation For Ike to Visit Country Two Proposals Under Consideration Death Toll Stands at 1 35 Donna Leaves BOSTON (AP) Hurricane Donna went into history today after a relentless march up the Atlantic Coast which spread terror, death and destruction from the Leeward Islands to Maine.

The grim toll stood at 135 known dead, scores missing, thousands homeless and property damage estimated at nearly a billion dollars. Twenty of the deaths were in the United States. Donna headed out of the United States Monday night, moving on a north-northeasterly course out of Maine toward the Maritime provinces. The U. S.

Weather Bureau at Boston said Donna had lost her hurricane winds and forecast further decrease in intensity. The hurricane, bom in the Caribbean sea over a week ago, bulged with 135 m.p.h. winds as posal, the Council voted to give the whole question further study. The whole question came up about an hour later when without any prior announcement, plans for a 50 by 20 foot extension to the existing library building were unveiled for the Council. The extension, to cost approximately $6,000, would be erected on the north side, or back of the present building.

Mrs. Wilson quickly asked the Council why we havent heard about this before. I haven't seen it in the paper of on the radio. It seems to me as taxpayers, the people should know about it and I dont think the people of the city know a thing about it. Mayor Rollin W.

Wheeler quickly assured her that the city was not trying to gee pthe people in the dark, noting that the Library Board has requested plans for the extension be drawn up at a (Continued on Page 2) WYITH KENNEDY in (LP) Sen. John F. Kennedy said today that a strong America is the one objective above all others for which he would strive if elected president. "There is only one kind of America which can keep the peace for all mankind, he said, "and that is a strong America. And there is only one objective above all others for which I would strive as president of the United States.

That is a strong America. Kennedy said, in an address prepared for a Dallas rally, that Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev will be impressed on his forthcoming visit to the United Nations by American strength not bviarguments or propaganda. JJid he said Khrushchev should not be deceived by arguments in tlirM presidential campaign. "Hr. Khrushchev, do not be deceived.

You will hear us inquiring into our lost prestige, our shaky defenses, our lack of leadership. But do not be deceived. For Democrats, Republicans and independents alike are united in opposition to your 'system and everything it means, Kennedy said. The Democratic party is not preaching disunity, Mr. Khrushchev.

Our program is not one that Mecfca Aid Bill for Aged Inked by Ike Washington (ap President Eisenhower today -signed into law the bill setting up a new federal-state program to help pay medical expenses of needy persons over 65. Sponsors of the legislation estimate that 12.4 million of the 16 million Americans over 65 will be eligible for benefits under the medical care provisions. The federal government will pay an expected 202 million to help finance the program the first year, with 60 million coming from the states. By the fifth year, it is figured the costs will be $340 million in federal funds, $180 million in state contributions. Later the total would go higher.

Secretary of Welfare Arthur S. Flemming estimates it could certainly hit $1.5 billion. The six and extent of the benefits are entirely up to each state. The program could get under way Oct. 1 but it is not known how many states will be ready by then.

Texas Is Now Havoc, it raked the Leeward Islands, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Florida and the Atlantic seaboard to New England. President Eisenhower designated sections of FTorida a major disaster area. Gov. Leroy Collins informed the President that the Florida keys, the central part of the state and coastal regions, had sustained extensive damage. When Donna roared ashore near Bridgeport, Monday afternoon, she quickly lost intensity and by early evening had become just a slashing, wind-whipped rain storm.

The wind velocity dropped quickly to about 75 m. p. although Blue Hill observatory near Boston reported gusts to 140 m. p. h.

Advance warnings set in motion extraordinary measures to prevent loss of life and reduce property damage. Thousands were evacuated from beach areas at Long Island, N.Y., Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts, as Donna rumbled toward the densely populated Northeast. Emergency measures were put into effect from Virginia to Maine. New Englanders, recalling the murderous hurricane of 1938, considered themselves lucky as Donna blustered across the coastal sections of five of the six states. The winds and water snarled power and communication line, smashed small boats at their moorings and felled countless trees.

Nixon, under questioning, disclosed he has prepared for early delivery a major speech supporting civil rights as it relates to the extension of peace through freedom throughout the world. As for the religious issue Kennedy, the Democratic nominee, is a Roman Catholic Nixon said he himself can best serve to keep it out of the campaign by making no further comment on it. He said he had made his own position clear and did not intend to add any fuel to the discussion. He said every time a candidate volving a city-county library, and told the Council that such a library provides more books, for more people, at less cost.

Mrs. Wilson told the Council that the Flagstaff Library has not kept up with the rapid growth of our town. I feel we need a new library building, she added. Councilman Peter J. Lindemann explained that a 1 problem of money was involved, noting that the city has to provide water and sewage facilities to residents as its primary concern.

If we had another source of revenue, such as the sales tax, we might have the money, he said.
