EDITORIAL AND FEATURE PAGE THE PARIS, TEXAS, NEWS TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30,1958 Public Disorders in Any Community Are Disgrace fo Residents of Area Part of the penalty of trying to change the habits, thoughts and ideals of people on such a touchy subject as racial integration in the public schools creates sharp feelings all across the nation. Not only in the South, but in the northern parts of the United States such as New York and Chicago there are public disorders. Just to the east of Paris some 100 miles last week there were unhappy circumstances. A football rally at Texarkana broke out into a riot. Radio aerials and mirrors were ripped off cars by whites and Negroes alike.

A state line divides Texarkana and some of the offenders stood on the Arkansas and jeered at officers on the Texas side. Now a campaign is underway in Tex- arkana by more level thinking citizens to reimburse victims who suffered either material or physical loss due to the violence. Regardless of how people may differ on the issue of integration, there can be no doubt but that law and order must be maintained at all times. All police agencies of every community across the nation should, be prepared to act-immediately. They should have and be instructed to use whatever force is required to handle the gas or other such items.

Right thinking citizens will not take part in such incidents. Public disorders have never been known at any tme to be a credit to any community. Brookshire Welcomed to Community It's always when local merchants remodel or build new a good sign that Paris is prospering and growing. But equally as pleasing a situation is when somebody from out of town sees Paris as promising place to start a new business. Such is the case with the formal opening here today of the Brookshire Center.

W. T. Brookshire, a veteran in the rocery business, came to Paris, liked what saw and invested several thousand dol- lars in this community. The location at 1128 Clarksville St. is more than just a grocery day will come when it will be a shopping center.

Already, one additional building is available for some type of the original plans call for still more spaces to be constructed as their need is felt. W. T. Brookshire started in the grocery business in 1926. The store built in Paris is No.

Outside of the department Crump, manager; Bill Wood, assistant manager; James Baskin, market manager, and Glen Long, produce ployes of the store are local people. The Paris News joins with others in this community in welcoming Brookshire's to Paris.

Some 80 Ballistic Weapons Fired at Cape Canaveral By ELTON C. FAY WASHINGTON (AP) At least 81 ballistic weapons and ing vehicles have been fired hi flight Fla. tests at Cape Canaveral, The armed services list 59 fir', ings as entirely successful, the rest partial successes or failures. These figures do not include the Navy-handled Vanguard satellite attempts, with one success in sex- en tries. Weaponeers and scientists insist a test is almost never a complete failure.

Even though a missile rises only a few thousand feet, much useful information is gained. The tests rated as completely successful are largely those as measured by the public's eye, the scientists say the times when a missile flies the full, intended distance and hits in the prescribed impact area. The Defense Department says it is impossible to give the exact The Redstone 200-mile range bal- cost of a test because so many listic missile has been tested 36 factors are involved. About a year times, been successful 33 times, ago, the guess was that an aver- the Army says, age test might cost about three million dollars. Ballistic missiles are only now coming into mass production.

The present cost of missiles would be higher than the eventual mass production figure. The Air Force estimates that the peritem production cost for the Atlas intercontinental ballistic missile will be about $1,000,000. For the Thor intermediate range ballistic missile the estimate is $735.000. The Army calculates that its Jupiter IRBM is costing about a million dollars. Since the start of the weapon testing program, the Army score stands like this: 10 Jupiter weapon firings, 6 completely successful, 4 failed to complete flights.

PAUL HARVEY Why Is Important In Adams Story This column has had no com- way from grocery boy to lumbcr- ment, for or agin, seeking either jack to the higher world of busi- to condemn or to explain away the ness and politics, conduct of Governor Sherm a Adams. You and I are going to reopen the case one time only and for only one reason. It is not enough to "condemn the crime" or to "punish the criminal" if we leave the motive the cause unexplored and totally misunderstood. Why did a distinguished American after 20 unselfish years of public service allow himself such indiscretions as he has, himself, described? Money. There is no motive in this case any more noble than that, nor any less.

And lest others of us living in glass, let's be sure we won't one day, ourselves, be walking barefoot on it. I have seen it happen before. I have seen professional men of much stature, dedicated and accomplished men, arrive at age 50 or 60 and ask themselves, 'What Lave I to show for it?" And more important to such a man, "What has my what have my to show for il?"

Yet after 20 years of this unselfish devotion to duty, one day he was offered a small gift and he saw no sin in its acceptance. The gifts became successively larger- but his conscience, by degrees, became numbed. Not calloused. No there was an adequate awareness that one day the oriental rug or the expensive coat might boomerang to his detriment. But the odds were small and the gifts were important.

"But they should not have been important," you say. "Noblesse oblige. obligations of nobility demand that we accept the privations and responsibility that go with a high position of trust." That is true. You are right. He was wrong.

For Thor tests, the results seem to be 13 successful, 4 partially, 5 failures. The Navy has made only one test of a ballistic missile, the Polaris. The missile was destroyed deliberately as it started to veer off course. Rich, Poor Have Same Number Kids ANN ARBOR, Mich.

(AP)-The rich get richer and the poor get children, goes an old saying. But the new word at the University of Michigan is that this isn't quite true. A research study here says both income groups are having about the same of children. This is especially the case of city people, says Dr. David Goldberg, of the University of Michigan Institute of Public Administration.

Goldberg spent a year going over records compiled by of M's Detroit Area Study and other statistical agencies. He found that early in marriage close home and kinship ties are the main factors in considering additional children. Later, he said, after two or three children have arrived, the question is similar to that of purchasing a luxury we afford it?" The pattern for large or small families also depends on whether the husband or wife is the chief decision maker. "Men are primarily influenced by such factors as status and income," Goldbert said. If a man is earning $12,000 and thinks he can afford more children, the couple will have them if the main decision is up to -him.

A woman, Goldberg said, is influenced by such factors as whether she likes to spend her leisure time around the home. are shaped about ia inchesTm the auvui ATZ indues in me electee mi It is the evil which we may diameter.

One wonders whether even the French will find a way of wrecking the chance. There is a touch of grandeur in the bold sweep of this document, which will stand as an immense tribute to the sagacity-and political daring of Premier de Gaulle himself. He has given France a real chance of putting an end to the chronic instability which has brought an average of almost two governments a year in the 14 years since the country was liberated from the Nazis. Dc.Gaulls has been able to overcome the gnawing French fear of the political strongman, and the country now is headed for a strong central government. He has given France a chance, too, to overcome the unhealthy effects of splinter party activities.

At last there will be a check on the Assembly's violent politics. The splinter groups no longer will be so easily able to wield a balance of power and thus exercise so large a measure of control over national policies. The National Assembly will be elected by universal national suffrage. The Senate will be chosen by indirect vote. But the key to the future is in the executive.

In addition, there will be limitations on motions of censure, even when 'such votes succeed in discrediting a premier, the President will represent bhe continuity of the government. De Gaulle's political daring also was evident in his challenge to the overseas territories. In the teeth of rising nationalist agitation all over the colonial and former colonial world, the territories were told the constitutional referendum would decide whether they would secede from the French Union or seek their future in partnership with metropolitan France. There will be many trials and challenges ahead for this new constitution. But the rest of the world will be watching with deep interest the birth of the Fifth Republic to judge whether at last France has come determinedly to grips with the basic political problems which have been robbing her of her rightful stature among the world's great nations.

W. Ntyjllt, Editor of Tht Paris News, 1936-56) May 10, WS2 What is generally thought to have been the first legal execution in Lamar county was that of Isham Scott, a negro hanged in 1883 for murder. There is a tradition that a man was hanged here during the'civil, was for criminal assault, but' I have not been able to-get anything, definite on it. Joe Spears, an old white man who was at the time of his death employed by Charlie Atcherly, as as butcher, lived in a little one- room shack on the Greenville road, now South- Eleventh 'street, but then considerably "out in the He was reputed to have considerable money which he kept hidden in his place and this led to his murder. Passers-by one morning heard his groans and found he was shot with a shot gun.

His door was fastened with a chain and his assassins had evidently been frightened after shooting him and had not succeeded in getting the door open to get his money. Spears was brought to the ho'use of Louisiana Long, a negress who lived on east Austin street and ran a restaurant up town, where he died the next day. From statements he made the officers arrested three negroes Ishom Scott, John Hancock, John Bonner and another whose name I do not recall, had run away. The three were indicted at the spring term of court, 1881. W.

A. Conner and W. H. Johnson were appointed by the court to defend the negroes who were not able to employ counsel and when the cases were called they were continued on account of absent witnesses and a fine of $50 was ordered against the sheriff of Grayson county for neglect in serving process. At the spring term 1882, Lewis Ryan and J.

M. Long were appointed to defend Jack Hancock and he was sentenced to the penitentiary for life. John Bonner who turned state's evidence was given a verdict of not guilty and Judge Austin Pollard and Horace Bradley, then defending Scott, got a continuance of his case. At the fall term Hancock was given a new trial and Scott was convicted and sentenced to hang. The scaffold was build early next spring, almost on the spot where the murder was committed, and was open to the public.

Mack Crook was sheriff and had a man to do the hanging who had experi- ence. Scott was taken to the gallows in a wagon, sitting on the coffin box, with officers riding alongside. The affair drew a large crowd notwithstanding it was a cold day with a drizzle of rain falling. It was stated that four ne- groes rode to Spears place after he had gone to bed and disturbed his chickens, thinking he would come out where they could shoot him. Spears was cautious and did not come and they went to the dotr and knocked.

He opened the door a few inches with the chain holding it, and they poked the gun through the door and shot him. Isham Scott declared that he had no part in the shooting but only held the horses while- the others went up to the house, but he was the only one to pay the extreme penalty; The gallows was such a novelty that in the few days before it was used some of the boys took dogs out to it and hanged them just to see how the trap operated. (Note: South Eleventh Steet is today's 13th SW, since renumbering in 1944, east and west from the plaza.) 73 YEARS AGO Sunday, September 30, 1945 A feature story was published on the problems posed by return to sun-time instead of the wartime daylight saving schedule. New hours for Paris stores, from October to July, were to be 8 a.m. opening and 5 p.m.

closing except on Saturdays, when 8 p.m. was set, instead of 6 and 9 p.m., as in the past. Fifty miles of Lamar County farm highways were to be taken over for maintenance by the Texas State Highway Department. Bible Thought Thou wilt him in perfect peace, whose mind Is stayed on thec. 26:3.

HOLLYWOOD Van Heflin Thinks Yugoslavia Friendly By BOB THOMAS AP Motion Picture Writer HOLLYWOOD (ffl How are things in Yugoslavia? The way the movie business is these days, it's not outlandish to ask that question. From Van Heflin you get friendly." an answer: "Very Van has just returned from Europe, where he toured 13 countries with his wife, three children, nurse and dog. But the most stimulating part of his half-year slay abroad was working on a movie in Yugoslavia. The movie was "Tempest," a huge epic made jointly by Yugoslavian, and American film companies.

The interiors were shot in Rome and the crowd and battle scenes were filmed on the plains near Belgrade. "It was the first lime," said, major 'film made by Western producers hind the Iron Curtain. Yes, I know that 'War and Peace' was supposed to have been shot in Ytigo- Van was be- the producer, Dino also produced our slavia. But Dilaurentis, picture and he told me thai it wasn't." How did the Slavs react to the invasion? "They were very friendly," the aclor said. "And I don't think it was merely because of political expediency.

The people greeted us warmly and were extremely hospitable. They were much more friendly to us than to the Italian members of our company. I suppose that is because of the long antagonisms between the Italians and Yugoslavs over Trieste and other malters." The Yugoslav government went all-out to cooperate, he reported, even to supplying 2,500 cavalry troops for a battle of the Catherine the Great era. 'The cost of that battle scene would have been prohibitive in Hollywood," Van said. "You just couldn't find that many trained riders and horses.

Nor could you pay them enough for Ihe stunts they look. The 2,500 put on a charge right through expoding charges with horsemen falling in the front ranks so the olhers had to leap over them. "In one day alone, 37 men were sent to the hospital." The horsemen were army regulars and he didn't know what they were being paid. But the extras who played serfs earned just under a dollar a day, not a bad wage in Yugoslavia, Van said. His other observations: accommodations were excellent at the Metropole, a Hilton-like hotel in Belgrade.

Food was excellent with the accenl on steaks, pork and lamb. The cosl of whisky was prohibitive, and Vodka is unknown. (AND THE DINNER HORN) THE NORTH TEXAS PUBLISHING COMPANV, TEXAS.
