6 More Negroes Take Trip North
NEW YORK — (UPI) — Six broke, jobless Negroes arrived here by bus from New Orleans today at the expense of the segregationist White Citizens' Council and found jobs awaiting them.
The six said they were happy to get the chance to come North. One of them, Roy Hamilton, 23, said he would like to strangle the members of the White Citizens' Council "one by one."
"I have nothing but hatred and contempt for them," he said.
ANOTHER OF THE GROUP, Leon Horne, 25, was a former Freedom Rider who served a 40-day term in a Jackson, Miss., jail for his integrationist activities. He said he had taken advantage of the council and its head, George Singelmann, to get a return ride North.
"This is one way of getting even," he said.
Dr. Edward Lewis, executive director of the Urban League, greetec the shivering, shirt-sleeved Negroes with the news that a Baltimore, Md., contractor has offered jobs for all six. Lewis said a service union also had informed him it had jobs available.
The men also were met by agents for the Travelers Aid Society and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The Negroes said they did not come here to join the welfare rolls, although one had only 45 cents in his pocket and another was flat broke.
HAMILTON, WHO CLAIMED he was arrested without cause five times in New Orleans and robbed of $5 by New Orleans police, said he thought the White Citizens' Council
Four Students Get Fulbrights
Four students have been awarded Fulbright exchange grants for study in German universities next year. The scholarships include round-trip transportation, tuition, books and maintenance costs.
Frances Mary Scholz, Kansas City senior and Alan Latta, Wichita senior, both German majors and members of Phi Beta Kappa, also have been awarded Woodrow Wilson fellowships, and Latta has been awarded a Danforth graduate fellowship.
The two graduate students who were awarded the Fulbright grants are Ira Astride Ameriks, East Orange, N. J., and Kurt David Philipp, Lawrence.
The new awards make a total of five students who have received United States Department of State educational exchange grants. Janet Wright, Prairie Village graduate student, was notified earlier that she is the recipient of a grant for study in France.
was trying to embarrass "one section of the country — New York — by using it."
But two of Hamilton's companions had only praise for the Council. Shelva Williams, 39, said "They're great" and Earl Campbell, 31, described council members as "wonderful people." Each had been given $5 spending money by the Council prior to departure, in addition to their one-way tickets.
The men were taken to the headquarters of the Urban League for interviews on their job qualifications. Horne wants to be an actor, Williams is a meatcutter, Hamilton a clerical worker, and Campbell a musician who has been working as a truck driver. The ther men were Junius Eli, 21, and Morris Price, 20.
Medical Developers, Inc., of Jersey City also has some jobs for the men. The firm gave a $100-a-week job to Lewis Boyd, the first Negro to arrive here at the expense of the White Citizens' Council, last week.
Titov Delayed By Weather
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — Soviet cosmonaut Gherman Titov, his flight from New York delayed by weather, arrived here today for meetings tomorrow with President Kennedy and astronaut John H. Glenn Jr.
THE WHITE HOUSE arranged the meeting between the President and Titov while the Russian spaceman was winging toward Washington from New York, where he had concluded a three-day visit.
Titov's plane touched down at National Airport at 12:46 p.m. EDT After an airport welcome, he left by car for lunch and a news conference at the Soviet Embassy here.
The Russian cosmonaut, who said he encountered no hitches in his trips around the Earth in a spacecraft, said he wanted to compare notes with Glenn about the mysterious flecks of light both saw in space.
TITOV HAD BEEN SCHEDULED to land at Andrews Air Force Base in nearby Maryland, but shortly before his scheduled landing, a group of 100 to 200 persons waiting for him was told his touchdown site had been changed to National Airport because of weather.
His landing time was delayed 40 minutes to give representatives of Iron Curtain embassies and other well-wishers time to get from one airport to the other.
Fair and warmer this afternoon, tonight and Thursday. Low tonight generally near 50. High Thursday 80 to 85.

Stadium Expansion Plan Postponed Indefinitely
59th Year, No. 130
By Ben Marshall
KU Athletic Director Arthur C. Lonborg today confirmed reports that the proposed Memorial Stadium expansion program has been postponed indefinitely because of financial difficulties and public opposition.
Wednesday, May 2, 1962
"We have to have the money in hand before we can go ahead with the expansion program," he said.
NEITHER EASTON NOR ALLEN feel that construction of a track with 2,500 permanent seats would be adequate to continue attracting the caliber of participants that would have been a hallmark of the 37-year-old meet.
ATHLETIC OFFICIALS had hoped that contributions would provide the funds needed for the expansion program, but the fundraising efforts have not been sufficient to begin construction this summer as planned.
The proposed track stadium would be located south and west of Allen Field House and, it is felt by several athletic officials, the Field House locker rooms would provide more adequate facilities for the track man.
ACCORDING TO THE proponents of the tier plan, one advantage is that it would be possible to remove the bottom two rows of seat in the stadium and add three more lanes to the present six-lane track. National track meets, NCAA and AAU track meets require at least an eight-lane track, and with the addition of the three new lanes KU could host such meets.
An alternativic plan to add to the stadium seating capacity is to build a tier or second deck, of seats above the west stands. This plan would add 6,800 seats at an estimated cost of $600,000.
The proposal would cost $210,000, and athletic officials have insisted that the expansion be on a pay-as- you-go basis.
Track coach Bill Easton has led opposition to the proposal. Easton and Forrest C. (Phog) Allen, former KU basketball coach and founder of the KU Relays, say the proposal will mean the end of the KU Relays, one of the nation's leading relay meets.
The program, announced nearly a month ago, calls for the addition of 7,200 football seats by removing the track. It calls for a new track to be constructed near Allen Field House.
Mr. Lonborg said the University would have better facilities for the relays if a track stadium were built next to the Field House.

He said that he had checked with

other track coaches who had built track stadiums with the rubberized track, and they seemed "very happy with the setup.
Referring to the postponed plans for expansion, Allen said:
"I did not fight the football situation at all. I just didn't see why we should destroy a fine thing as the relays by moving the track out of the stadium."
However, he said that relays facilities would not be adequate if a new track stadium were built near the Field House.
"YOU COULDN'T dress 100 people in the locker rooms at the Field House, but you can dress over 1,000 at the stadium for an event such as the relays."
Allen proposed the tier program of stadium expansion.
"There are fittings under the stadium that would enable us to build a second deck," he said. "I was here when the stadium was built. We looked ahead. We didn't jump and run like this planning committee has done." he said.
Commenting on the postponed proposal for stadium enlargement, KU football coach, Jack Mitchell, said:
"There are a great deal of problems to be faced, and I'm sure whatever the University decides will be thought out carefully."
Four Major Issues Discussed by ASC
Four major issues came before the newly-installed All Student Council last night in the longest meeting of the semester which lasted two and one-half hours.
The four areas covered by the new council were: plans for enlarging Memorial Stadium, a proposed student group insurance plan, the ASC publications bill and a new function for the ASC public relations committee.
A RESOLUTION CONCERNING the enlargement of Memorial Stadium, introduced by John Young, Topeka graduate student, asks the Athletic Corporation to wait until sufficient funds have been provided to enlarge the stadium without damaging the track.
Present plans call for the new seats to be added where the track now encircles the football field by lowering the level of the playing surface. This would mean moving the track to an area near Allen Field House and providing only a few thousand seats. opponents of the plan say that such a move might lead to the end of the Kansas Relays.
Jerry Dickson, Newton junior and new student body president, said that if the ASC feels the present plans are not acceptable, such a feeling should be carried by him to the Athletic Seating Board.
THE PRINCIPLE ARGUMENT against the resolution was made by Jerry Palmer, El Dorado senior and out-going chairman of the ASC. He said it should be kept in mind that the football program is the financial backbone of the athletic program and that the addition of the seats would be to the betterment of the entire athletic situation.
The resolution passed by a unanimous voice vote.
Dean Salter, Garden City junior, introduced a resolution, which was later tabled, that the student body president name an independent representative to receive bids and set up a program of group insurance for the student body
SALTER SAID the resolution should be tabled until council members could investigate the feeling of the students on the proposal. He said the two week postponement would give those who are trying to get the program in operation more time to work out the flaws.
An amendment to the publications bill which was passed last spring was introduced by Greg Turner, Seattle, Wash., junior.
The amendment asked that the publications committee be allowed to attend the meetings of the Kansan Board, the governing body of the University Daily Kansan.
THE MOTION WAS automatically referred to the committee on committees and legislation.
(ASC Bill #6, passed several years ago, provided for attendance by the ASC publications committee at Kansan board meetings.)
The resolution dealing with the public relations committee was introduced by Lee Ayres, Wichita sophomore, and requested that the committee arrange talks next fall for the purpose of informing the student body of the function and accomplishments of the ASC.
The resolution was passed unanimously.
Ron Gallagher, Fort Scott senior,
re-submitted his action to establish
a paid secretarial position for the
ASC and it was passed by a unanimous voice vote in the old council's last action.
GALLAGHER EXPLAINED that he hoped the ASC secretarial committee could operate so efficiently that such a position would not be necessary.
Dickson, as retiring chairman of the ASC athletic seating committee, gave a closely discussed report to the old council about the needed changes in the reserved seating plan for its efficient operation next fall.
Dickson said the Athletic Corporation Board has decided not to have single game seats and that the price
