Blacks want 'full serving'
JACKSON, Miss. — Black candidates for municipal offices in Mississippi were told yesterday if whites "try to keep us from eating at that political table, we're going to kick the legs from under it."
"We are demanding a full serving at the political table," State NAACP President Aarona Henry told a strategy session attended by some 130 Negroes from across the state, including 50 of the estimated 145 blacks seeking municipal posts this summer.
Students march in Tokyo
TOKYO — About 2,000 leftist students wearing helmets marched into Tokyo yesterday night and massed for protest attacks on the U.S. Embassy and key Japanese government buildings this morning. A force of 12,000 riot police took up positions in strategic sections of the city.
Japanese police said they expected at least 8,000 of the fanatical anti-American students to take part in demonstrations demanding that the United States dismantle its military bases on Okinawa and return the Ryukyu Islands to Japan immediately.
Floods threaten dikes
WAPELLO, Iowa — A 50-mile-long flood crest—third highest in history—rolled downstream in the Mississippi River yesterday, probing at the most elaborate dike network ever constructed against Old Man River.
Saturday night thunderstorms were less serious than had been feared and failed to bring sharp rises in the river's level. Most dikes were holding.
However, a dike gave way Saturday night south of Wapello, Iowa, flooding 3,000 acres of farm land and the Mark Twain National Wildlife Refuge and threatening to inundate up to 200 summer cottages along Lake Odessa.
Hospital strike continues
CHARLESTON, S.C. Police arrested 45 more demonstrators—including the parttime jail chaplain-yesterday in the third day of mass demonstrations in support of striking Negro hospital workers.
Rev. Ralph Abernathy, leader of the movement who was jailed in the first wave of arrests Friday, spent yesterday morning going from cell to cell preaching, his followers said.
Hospital workers, claiming substandard pay and discrimination and demanding a union contract, have been on strike against Chaleston's two largest hospitals for weeks.
J-School dean to Georgia
(Continued from page 1)
Today it has 361 undergraduate students and 19 master's candidates. Under Agee's leadership, the school's faculty increased from 12 to 18 and programs were added in international communications, communication theory, advertising research, film documentary, magazine journalism, public relations and photojournalism.
"I deeply regret leaving Lawrence and the University of Kansas," Agee said in his resignation. "It has been a lasting pleasure to have worked with so many fine Kansans the past four years, and I am convinced that the University and the School are on their way to even greater accomplishments."
students as the William Allen White School of Journalism and consists of an $8 million complex of new buildings.
The Henry W_Grady School of Journalism has about twice as many
Agee visited the University of Georgia facilities last winter while he was attending the annual Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalism society, convention in nearby Atlanta, Ga.
During Agee's tenure at KU, the University Daily Kansan, the student newspaper, installed a new offset printing process replacing the old letterpress system used for years, and also achieved an All American rating for the 1968-69 fall semester.
"I was very impressed with their facilities," Agee said today. He said the school is, traditionally progressive and has shown that it can grow with the rest of the University.
De Gaulle resigns after vote
(Continued from page 1)
and early today when several hundred students rioted in the troubled Left Bank area the moment they learned de Gaulle had been defeated in the referendum on which he staked his future.
National confusion
The 78-year-old French leader himself warned Friday of "national confusion" if the voters rejected him. Gaullist lieutenants painted more dramatic pictures of "deep trouble" and possible "chaos." Political observers said this may have been scare propaganda, but France's new leaders were taking no chances.
Strong police forces were alerted throughout the country. Particularly heavy reinforcements were held in readiness in the Latin Quarter itself but by midmorning all was quiet in the Latin Quarter following the arrest of 70 demonstrators.
Frenchmen in nearly every voting district and every major city voted "no" yesterday to the constitutional reform that would have collected still more power in the general's hands. True to his pledge given Friday, he resigned effective at noon. The margin of defeat was 52.87 per cent of the vote to 47.13 per cent, or 11,966,550 to 10,669,015.
Today's change of leadership was marked by no ceremony, no official handing over of powers. De Gaulle, bitter in defeat, shut himself off from the world at his country home in eastern France.
Poher, a mild mannered center party politician almost unknown to the majority of his fellow Frenchmen until a few weeks ago, remained for the time being in his Luxembourg palace office. Whether he would move into the Elyse Palace, de Gaulle's official residence, remained to be seen.
Agee was also instrumental in revising the school's curriculum. A Student Advisory Board was created which is invited to all faculty meetings. The William Allen White Foundation raised more than $38,000 for the 1968 Centennial observance, including approximately $20,000 toward a $100,000 visiting professorship.
Other changes and additions made during Agee's term include a Job Placement Bureau for students in the school, the expansion of the Midwestern Journalism Camp, the building of the Kansas Newspaper Hall of Fame Room and the enlarging of the Journalism Library.
Teaching laboratories for radio-television-film were moved last summer from Hoch Auditorium to Flint Hall, home of the Journalism School and currently enlarged photographic laboratories are being added to the basement of Flint Hall.
Agee earned the B.A. degree from Texas Christian University and M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Minnesota. He taught and served as chairman of the department of journalism at Texas Christian, served as dean of the School of Journalism at West Virigina University, as national executive officer for Sigma Delta Chi, and came to KU from the position of professor of journalism and dean of the Evening College at Texas Christian.
