The opening of school last week
brought integration with little or
no disturbance to 144 school districts in 11 southern and border
states. ALABAMA was an exception. There Gov, Wallace again
sought to defy the Federal Government. Early in the week he sent
state troopers to prevent schools
from opening in Tuskegee, Birmingham, Huntsville and Mobile. In Birmingham there was
rioting by segregationists and Negoes. Two Negro homes were
bombed and one Negro killed. In
Huntsville, the governor met resistance from the Board of Education and from parents. On Sept.
9, Gov. Wallace changed his
tactics, allowing the schools in
Birmingham, Mobile and Tuskegee to open, but barring the entrance of Negroes, He did not
send troopers to Huntsville, where
desegregation took place quietly.
Early Sept. 10, the governor replaced state troopers in Birmingham, Mobile and Tuskegee with
National Guard units, Pres. Kennedy, stating that the governor
purposely forced him to intervene, issueda “cease and desist”
‘order, federalized the National
Guard units; and accomplished
‘Red Carpet
On Broad St.
The red carpet will be out for
visitors to Nevada City as soon as
local Business and Professional
Women can "find some fellows to
help us, "
The organization received approval from the Nevada City
Council Tuesday night for their
plan to paint a six foot red carpet
up Broad St. from the Plaza
bridge “as far as the paint lasts”
(providing the carpet doesn't extend beyond Union Alley).
The promotion, tied into’an
annual Fall Conference of Capital District BPW scheduled for
Sept. 28 and 29, will be used to
welcome all visitors to the city.
The six foot wide carpet of
paint was a compromise.
The BPW delegation to the
council requested permission to
paint one whole side of the street,
But Mayor Robert Carr felt that a
red carpet should be only three or
four feet wide---like they roll out
for mayors when they arrive at
the Palm Springs Airport.
The idea of a carpet itself drew
a warning from City Attorney
William Wetherall that if it were
to cause an accident, the city
would be liable. ;
Council members were more
concerned with the width and
placement of the paint. Fora
while Mayor Carr objected to the
carpet being in the uphill lane of
Broad St.
Some people will want to get
on the carpet even if it means
their going down Broad St. on the
wrong side, he warned.
“Do yoy really believe that?"
asked Councilman Jack Brickell.
"Yes, Jack, I've lived here
quite a while, “ the mayor answered,
But the Fuller-donated paint
will be in the middle of the uphill lane, six feet wide, and it
will be red,

Say Local
. Governments
: Shirk Duty
The failure of local government in the battle to preserve
California's lands and scenery was
described today as “profound, and
much more extensive in its effect
onthe quality of life in the state
than any failure of state government. "
The evaluation was contained
in a wide-ranging report, entitled
“The Phantom Cities of California" issued at Sacramento today
by California Tomorrow, the nonprofit research organization which
last year attracted much attention
andcomment with its findings on
the erosion of the state's natural
resources entitled "California Going, Going..”
The group's current study was
written by the authors of the previous report, Alfred E. Heller,
Nevada County Nugget publisher
and chairman of the Board of
California Tomorrow, and Samuel
E. Wood of Sacramento, executive director of the organization.
In a foreword to the report the
authors noted their previous emphasis onthe lack of state government responsibility for the preservation of California's “supremely
attractive resources of land, air
and water," and added:
"This report views from the
other side of the telescope the
physical problems besetting the
land of California.
"Everybody is in favor of saving
as much as possible of California's
unique asset, its beautiful, varied
and productive land and landscape. And almost everybody
despises, not the growth of the
state and the development of the
land, which are inevitable, but
irresponsible land development
policies and practices. Yet in
Our cities and counties there is
an appalling gap between our
preferences and our accomplishments, "
One of the reasons for this gap,
according to the report, is that
the separate city and county
governments cannot meet problems which are regional in nature,
such as loss of open space and
spread ofthe “slurbs," the deterioration of downtown centers, the
crowding of roads, and the pollution of air, water:and landscape,
because their jurisdictions and
interests do not extend far enough.
The authors comment: “This
vacuum of authority is mute but
forceful testimony in favor of the
devising of a formula for the establishment of a political jurisdiction for the regional city,
through which the public can look
squarely at regional problems: a
government that will assume retional or area-wide responsibilities which are not now being assumed by the cities and counties."
The report cites examples from
throughout the state in support of
its major thesis that local government's record in preserving natural resources--the “local battle
Z aBed** E96T ‘ZI Jaquioideg***1088nN ou **z a8eg
for beauty"--addsup to a succes—
sion of “small efforts and big
_ failures."
