The elderly merchant then outlined the reasons for his statement. He said he and many other merchants' outside the city "patronize the wholesale" firms in Athens.

The storm grounded a British freighter, damaged buildings; knocked out communications and caused a washout that derailed a passenger train with persons aboard. The national police reported at least two persons killed and three injured. The late-season typhoon swirled Into the Philippines' principal island early Monday with winds of up to 175 miles per hour. It lost strength as it slammed across the coconut-rich Bicol region but maintained an 11-mile-per hour pace, with winds of 125 miles per hour, in a west-northwesterly direction.

The Manila Weather- Bureau said the typhoon was expected to pass 50 miles north of Manila. Heavy rains accompanying the typhoon triggered a landslide in Catanduanes Province. The slide buried a home, and polic ereported a father and a daughter killed. Three other members of the family were listed as Eight coaches of an express train were derailed in Aloneros.

to leave room for relatively few exceptions: "We must conclude that while the focus of the legislation was on the individual restaurant's relation to interstate commerce. Congress appropriately considered importance of that connection with the knowledge that the discrimination was but 'representative of many others throughout the country, the total incidence of which if left unchecked may well become far-reaching in its to commerce'." Ollie McClung who operates the harhecue restaurant wilh his son, Ollie said lie was shocked by the decision. He said, "It. sppms to mo that, the ownership and use of private property, is essential to the American way of life." The spokesman for Heart of Allanta Motel said the decision opens "a frightful door to the unlimited power of a centralized government." Generally, however, the accommodations decision seemed to have been widely anticipated and stirred no great immediate furor in the South. In its sit-in decision the court reversed trespass convictions for lunch counter demonstrations in two states in I960.

Arthur Hamm was arrested for a demonstration in Mc-Crory's Variety Store in Hill, S.C. Frank James Lupper and -Thomas Robinson were ar rested at a lunch counter in the Blass Department Store in Little Rock, Ark. Clark said of these arrests that were made before Congress acled: "Fulure state prosecutions under the Act being unconstitutional and there being no saving clause in the Act itself, convictions' for pre-enactiment Violations would be-equally unconstitutional and abatement necessarily follows." Black's said he does not interpret the court's opinion as authorizing "persons who are unlawfully refused service" to "lake the law Into-their own hands by sitting down and occupying the premises for as long as they choose to stay." Black said nothing in the language of the Civil Rights Act "justifies the court's offhand assertion that it is carrying out the 'legislative purpose'." He said he found not one word "on which the most strained efforts of the most fertile imaginations could support uch a (Continued from Page Sec. 1) that "Russian and Chinese weapons, food and medicines had already been received." Stevenson said Gbenye declared "that President (Kwame) Nkrumah (Of Ghana), (Gamal AbdeD Nasser (of the U.A.R.) and (Ahmed) Ben Bella (of Algeria) had promised to send arms and volunteers and that African states would provide aircraft." Stevenson asked the council to create "an inspection and investigator group to proceed to the Congo and to report to this council so that outside intervention in the affairs of the government of the Congo can be brought to an end at the earliest possible moment." Stevenson told the council that Gbenye said the center for the build-up of rebel strength would be Brazzaville, the capital of the neighboring former French Congo, "and that the object is to assemble outside assistance, including volunteers and supplies, from which a drive would then be launched to take the capital of the former Belgian Congo. Stevenson asked the council to contrast this with U.S.

aid to the Congo, requested -by the Leopoldville government much as has been done by "all other African states." The Stanleyville mercy airlift was sanctioned by the Leopoldville government headed by Premier Moise Tshombe. Despite" this, Stevenson said: "In the last few days the United States has been variously accused, and I quote, of 'wanton of 'premeditated of plotting a humanitarian mission as a 'pretext' for military intervention, of a 'nefarious action' designed to exterminate the black inhabitants, of of a 'wanton and deliberate massacre of Congolese of 'a murderous of a 'premediated and cold blooded of 'not being truly concerned with the lives of hostages', of a 'crude or 'massive of having killed (Congolese leader Patrice) Lumumba 'with cynicism and of genocide against an entire people, of being caught 'red handed," of using the United Nations as a 'trojan of a racist attack trf kill thousands of an operation which, in the words of one of the speakers, proved lo him that a 'white, if his name is Carlson, or if he is an American, a Belgian or an Eng-glisnman, is worth thousands upon thousands of Stevenson's reference' was to Dr. Paul Carlson, an American medical missionary, sentenced on espionage charges and killed by the Congolese rebels.

Coach Thornton, who was as happy (and showed it) as any of his charges or Palestine fans, was the toast of the crowd as he came out of the dressing room.

He showed his happiness through eyes made red from crying as he congratulated each player In the dressing room. "I didn't have anything to do with this win," he commented to sports writers. "The boys did it all themselves. And playing as they did, they deserved the win." Two members of the Palestine squad, out for the season from recent, injuries, seemed have forgotten a broken leg and a twisted knee as they hopped from one player to another with words of praise. They are Fred Heaton and Da-vH Farrow.

As one of the exefted Palestine fans commented to another as the two walked from the dressing room, "You remember, those kids commented Friday after being told Wichita Falls had been selected as the favorite, game's not lost until the final 7 The final whistle sounded as Fitzgerald caught the winning touchdown pass. -PEN TILL 9 clearing stock of 4 5" Fashions (Continued from Page 1, Sec. 1) about 3,000 criminal prosecutions for sit-in demonstrations were still pending. All these cases are wiped out by the deci sion. They include cases not yet tried and those in which convictions were obtained and appealed.

Trespass was charged in most instances. Justice Tom C. Clark delivered the majority opinion in the sit-in decision as well as in the two separate public accommodations rulings. It was the first Supreme Court test of any part of the new law signed by President Johnson last July 2. In one case, the court upheld a Ihree-judge District Court ruling against the Heart of Atlanta Motel's challenge to the section outlawing discrimination in such places as hotels, restaurants, motels, and theaters.

Morton Rol lest on Atlanta attorney and official of the motel, filed suit two hours after Johnson signed the law. He argued his own case here Oct. 5, and said: "The fact that Negroes are involved in this issue is purely incidental. The fundamental issue is- whether Congress has the right to take away from a private business concern the owner's choice of running his firm as he- wishes and choosing his customers." Clark, disagreeing, said on behalf of the court: "The power of Congress to promote inter-stale commerce also includes the power to regulate the local incidents thereof, including local activities in both the state of origin and destination, which might have a substantial and harmful effect upon that commerce." While the Heart of Atlanta conceded 75 per cent of its customers are from out of slate, the court's second ruling dealt with OUie's Barbecue of Birmingham, which caters to local customers and buys most of its food locally. A three-judge District Court in Birmingham had ruled this put Ollie's beyond the power of Congress.

Reversing that decision. Clark said Ollie's receives about worth of food a year "whiclt-has. moved in commerce." It is a valid power of Congress to regulate this, he said. "A refusal to serve Negroes and their total loss as customers has, regardless of the absence of direct evidence, a -close connection to interstate commerce," Clark said. "The fewer customers a restaurant enjoys the less food it sells and consequently the less it buys." The closest Clark came to pinning down how.

It was following Bristow's words that Morrison gave the tongue-lashing to. Spellman. Morrison described a recent meeting of the Malakoff, city council before which Spellmann appeared to present the reasoning behind Athens' extra-territorial move. "Spellman is like an octopus," he charged. "It's not you men I'm against (referring to Dr.

N. D. Geddie mayor, and Coun-cilmen Joe White and Donald Foster), it's him. He's agitating Malakoff to go north." Morrison charged Spellman with telling the Malakoff council to forget- Murchison which has ohl 251 people. Referring to the alleged land grab by Athens, Morrison asked, "If we must go somewhere, why can't we go to Malakoff?" It was then that he dropped the gauntlet, "I'm ready to fight if vou take another foot tonight!" It was in a rebuttal speech that Bristow called on representatives to get together and raise money to fight the council on the extra-territorial move.

Councilmen White and Foster spoke out for the extra-terriorial annexation. They said they they were doing the best for everyone. "Time will prove that our effort is different than you think," White told the gathering. The council "did not take action' on the ordinance until the hearing, held prior to the regular council meeting, was closed and the opposing group had left the council chambers. However, the opposition reportedly began its own "fight" after leaving the hearing.

They did not disclose the- nature of their fight, but it was learned from reliable sources that several communities are planning to incorporate an area larger than Athens.

Asked the reason for Hoers- ter's action, Tellepsen said "the lack of complete support on the part of the board. He felt the board was not backing him up." Tellepsen said Hoerster and the board had disagreed on "the dismissal and reengagement of personnel" below the rank of doctor.

Hoerster, 46, has been superintendent since 1955. He was head of the clinical division at Big Springs State Hospital during 1950-52 and chief of psychiatric services at the Austin headquarters during 1952-55. His resignation is the second in the system in two months. Dr.
