Capote in Garden City Frosh break as both friend, toe
GARDEN CITY—(UPI)—Truman Capote, whose literary fame ballooned with his "non-fiction novel" about a western Kansas murder case, returned to the scene of the story today to meet his detractors and his fans.
Some residents of Garden City, where Capote spent many weeks gathering material for "In Cold Blood," have been noisy about their disapproval of his work. Others regard it as a masterpiece.
Today both groups, as well as a large number of neutrals, planned to greet Capote at an autograph tea in the public library.
IT WAS the author's first visit to Garden City since the book came out.
Network television crews strung their cables through the library as Mrs. Helen Harp prepared for a "large crowd."
Richard Brooks of Columbia Studios, scheduled to direct the movie of Capote's book, detailing the slayings of Garden City rancher Herb Clutter, his wife and two teen-aged children, was
with the author. He said he would like to film the movie in Garden City and nearby Holcomb, but this had not been determined.
Brooks said he hoped to start shooting the movie "sometime between September and December."
ONE OF THE Capote fans among Garden City residents said she expected "some noise" from the opposition in connection with his visit.
to take the 880 yard relay in 1:26.5. Since both of these events are new to the Kansas Relays, both times established KU Relays records.
Runners-up for the 440 yard relay, in descending order, were: Prairie View A & M, Kansas State, Hutchinson Junior College and Arkansas City.
"There are only a very few but they talk loud," she said. "The people talking the loudest are people who haven't even read it."
Flames shot 60 feet into the air as firemen battled to keep the fire from the B&H Ready-to-wear Store on the east and the Aitchison Flower Shop and smaller shops on the west.
In the 880 yard relay, Kansas State placed second behind Oklahoma, followed by Prairie View A & M. Drake and Hutchinson.
The structure was the Infenf Furniture Store for more than 50 years. It was taken over by the Urban Renewal Agency and sold to L. H. Webb when the mall was built about a year and a half ago.
EVANSTON, Ill. —(UPI)—A young white sociologist and his wife plan to stage a public "move-out" from their apartment in this quiet North Shore Chicago suburb today to protest the alleged refusal of their landlord to rent to Negroes.
Vaughan Stapleton, 28-year-old research director for the National Association of Juvenile Court Judges in Chicago, said some of his neighbors would picket the brick apartment building while he moved his family out.
Stapleton said when the apartment opposite his in the six-flat building was vacated last fall, he tried to talk the landlord into renting to a Negro family.
'Move-out protest is planned
"We have often talked about the problem of people not wanting to get involved when something should involve them," said Stapleton's wife, Joan. 28.
ATCHISON —(UPI)— A fire raged out of control today at the Webb's Gamble Store, a three-story, recently remodeled department store on the west edge of Atchison's downtown mall.
A member of the opposition said Capote's work "shocked a lot of people and dragged up things that were better forgotten."
When another apartment became available earlier this year, William F. Shaw, a young Negro chemist with a wife and three children applied for the apartment through the landlord's agent, he said. The agent told Shaw the apartment had been rented, he said, even though two white friends had been told moments before that the apartment was available.
