White Council Members
Protest Gov. Frank Clement
HOUSTON—(AP)—About 25 “demonstration pickets” pa-
I’aded in front of the Shamrock Hotel last night as Tennessee
Gov. Frank Clement spoke at a testimonial dinner.
No incidents developed.
The pickets included members of the White Citizens
Council of Greater Houston but most of them said they were
not members of the Council but were sympathetic to its anti
integration program.
Clement told reporters he does not object to anybody
expi-essing themselves, including White Citizens Council
pickets, so long as they conduct themselves in a lawful man
ner.
Officials of the Council an- - *"
nounced plans for the pickets
last week, saying the demon
stration would protest Clem
ent’s recent action in ordering
out National Guard troops during
the school integration disorders at
Clinton, Tenn.
One picket identified himself as
J. A. Curry, 46, Mansfield, a North
Texas community which had inte
gration troubles last month. Curry
cai'ried several placards. Two of
them read: “Mansfield endorses
Shivers for any office” and “Mans
field casts her white votes for
John Ben Shepperd.”
Curry said he drove to Houston
after reading a newspaper an
nouncement of the Council’s picket
plans.
A woman in a long r.ed dress
and red bandana carried a sign
which had attached to it two imita
tion roses. The sign said: “Roses
for Governor Shivers. For Clem
ent, skunk oil.”
“It is obvious that those who
would picket my speech as a re
sult of my action at Clinton either
misunderstood the facts or ai’e
against law and order,” Clement
said.
Of his state’s 95 counties, he
said, only one has been m-dei-ed to
admit Negro students to white
schools.
“You have more integration in
Texas than we have,” he said.
The National Guard was not
called out, he said, until local of
ficials certified to him that there
had been a complete breakdown of
law and order.
Clement spoke at a dinner honor
ing Dr. Marcus Levinson of Hous
ton for his work in behalf of the
state of Israel and Zionism.

Car Returns
Six Months
After Loan
DALLAS, <A>>—On Feb. 22
—George Washington’s Birth
day—a man priced a swank,
red-and white hardtop auto
and a trusting salesman let
him drive it around the block.
For six months the dealer,
police and officers in 47 other
states could find no trace of
the car. Early today the mo
tor company’s owner, J. A.
Treadway had a phone call.
“Don’t bother about who is
talking,” directed a man’s
voice. “You remember losing
that car in February — well,
it’s back.”
Treadway found the “tired”
looking car parked near his
office. It bore evidence of
about 12,000 hard miles of
motoring—and had been wiped
clean of clues.
