Explosion rips loan association
A blast which shook houses several blocks away ripped open the Anchor Savings and Loan Association at approximately 10 p.m. Tuesday night. This is the second bombing the building has suffered in about a month.
Second bombing in a month's time hits loan office
Anchor Savings and Loan Assoc., 900 Ohio, suffered its second bombing in a little over a month Tuesday night at approximately 10:10 p.m.
Windows were blown out and bricks blasted from the foundation on the south side of the building near the night-deposit box. Marshall Viggersteff, manager of Anchor's, said it was too early to estimate damages.
One unofficial theory for the method used is that the explosive was dropped into the night-deposit box. Deputy Kansas Fire Marshall Lloyd Davies said it was too early to determine how the explosion happened.
A crowd of nearly 75 people gathered in awe of the blast which several complained shook their houses, several blocks away. Duane Shuck of 1409 W. 2nd, said he thought the explosion was next door.
Anchor received its first bombing at 1 a.m., April 8 and only minor damage was reported.

Pat Rivers, a representative of the Black Citizens Co-ordinating Committee, said that what happened at Georgia was a symptom of what happens all over America today. He said that death to blacks was an every day occurrence.
It was announced that blacks

would begin tapping the white economic resources and that a rally would be held to collect funds for their defense and their paper, the Harambee.
Charges were made by Beckweth that the University Daily Kansan was a daily propaganda sheet and that there was no real freedom of the press in the established student publication.
it was not up to blacks to lead the whites, but that the whites had to activate themselves concerning how to cope with white racism.
Earlier in the assembly Thomas had said that white students could get away with throwing rocks and marching. He said
Students who asked for specific suggestions about what actions to take to cope with the problem were told that asking this was an indication of their insincerity. They were told that if they were really sincere about helping the blacks they would feel strongly enough to go out immediately and act on that feeling.
Notice
The following statement was released to the Kansas late Tuesday evening by the co-chairmen of the Kansas University Coordinating Committee:
"We of the KU Coordinating Committee were distressed upon hearing about the explosion at Anchor Savings and Loan on Tuesday night. We hope that this isolated act of violence will not jeopardize the peaceful intent of the thousands involved with the KUCC and that our efforts to work with the community will not have gone for naught."
