Civil Rights Trial Opens in Alabama
HAYNEVILLE, Ala.—(UPI)—Fearful for his life, Alabama Atty. Gen. Richmond Flowers today reluctantly opens the prosecution of a "citizen deputy" sheriff for the slaying of a white seminarian active in civil rights work.
Disallowing pleas that the prosecution was unready and that Flowers' life had been threatened for wrestling the case from local prosecutors, a county judge Monday refused to postpone the trial as the state asked. Another bid for a federal court order delaying the trial also failed.
Flowers, who said he had been warned "we'll get you if you don't leave this case alone," planned to have an armed guard at his side as he seeks manslaughter conviction for Tom Coleman, 52. a member of a prominent Lowndes County family. Coleman, a "citizen deputy," is charged with the shotgun slaying of Jonathan Daniels, an Episcopal seminary student from Keene, N.H.
Madalyn Murray Is Back in Court
SAN ANTONIO, Tex.—(UPI)—Atheist Madalyn Murray, who got the Supreme Court to outlaw organized prayer in public schools, vowed today "to go down fighting" court attempts to extradite her to Baltimore, Md., where she faces charges of assaulting police.
Maury Maverick Jr., her attorney, said he hoped to connect her habeas corpus hearing with an extradition hearing and keep the case tied up for three years.
Maverick got Mrs. Murray released from jail Sunday after filing a writ of habeas corpus. She had been arrested Saturday night, shortly after she arrived from Mexico City.
Mrs. Murray, a 46-year-old divorcee, had been living at Valle De Bravo, Michoacan, Mexico, until she was deported by Mexican officials Saturday.
Minimum Wage Bill Still Not Dead
WASHINGTON—(UPI)—Once thought dead for this session, the bill to increase the minimum wage to $1.75 an hour appeared today to have some chance for passage before Congress adjourns.
Democratic members of a House labor subcommittee planned to meet privately today to discuss the bill, which would increase the minimum wage as well as extend it to 7.9 million workers.
Because of the possibility the bill to repeal the right-to-work law may fail in the Senate, leadership may have decided to offer labor a fringe benefit in the form of the minimum wage bill.
Dean Named Delegate to Meet
Kenneth E. Anderson, dean of the School of Education, will be KU's representative at a national education conference Wednesday and Thursday in Kansas City, Mo.
The conference, with as many as 18 governors in attendance, will consider the draft of an interstate "compact" for education.
THE PROPOSED COMPACT would provide a forum for the
discussion, development and recommendation of public policy alternatives in the field of education. It was drafted by the Study of American States, a foundation headed by Terry Sanford, former governor of North Carolina.
James S. Conant, former president of Harvard and education analyst, will be one of the conference speakers. He previously has called for a national education policy, which is a stronger statement than the proposed "compact."
He's a Good Guy—
While electing pledge class officers for the coming year a pledge from one of KU's fraternities said, "I think that all voters should consider the personality of my candidate. I don't know him personally but . . ."
