SIX THE GREENVILLE NEWS, GREENVILLE, SOUTH CAROLINA MONDAY, APRIL 12, 1965 Shelton Asks For End To Rights Commission, Condemnation Of King ATLANTA (UPI) Imperial Wizard Robert Shelton of the Ku Klux Klan Sunday said he was asking for legislation which would abolish the Civil Rights Commission and would label Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. "subversive" for advocating a boycott of Alabama products. Shelton, a former tire salesman from Tuscaloosa, said he sent a telegram to President Johnson stating six requests which also included a request that Rep. Charles Weltner of Georgia be removed from the House Un American Activities Committee.

At a called news conference in a downtown hotel at which he sat beside Georgia Grand Dragon Calvin Craig, Shelton said he was seeking immediate legislation to abolish the Civil Rights Commission. He said he had asked Johnson to revamp the commission with an equal number of members from conservative and liberal elements across the nation. The membership should include the Klan, he said. Shelton said he had also requested an immediate measure which would make any persons, group or organization whose intent is to boycott an entire state guilty of treason. CALLED SUBVERSIVE King, by advocating a boycott of Alabama goods, could jeoptire state, Shelton said.

Shelton said he informed the President that Weltner had a dinner for King, who had signed a petition to abolish the House-Un-American Activities Committee. Weltner is a member of the committee. Shelton said he also proposed to Johnson that Congress enact a bill which would require every federal judge appointed to have served on the bench of a state court of appeals for at least three years. He also demanded that equal respect be given to the widows of survivors of Viet Nam that is given to civil rights groups widows and survivors.

Finally, Shelton, for the second time, requested a meeting with the president to discuss Klan activities. Shelton and Craig last month had requested a similar meeting with Johnson. The White House at that time said the request was referred to the Justice Department as a matter of routine. Shelton said, "President Johnson has opened the front door of the White House to pinkos, Negroes and tennis-shoe wearing beatniks." The Klan seeks the same right to personally express its grievances, he said. Asked if he felt Johnson's investigation of the Klan will damage the group, Shelton said, "If Johnson continues his yakking, he will prove to be the Klan's best recruiter." Swilling Death Sentence Goes To S.C.

High Court: COLUMBIA (AP) A death sentence in a murder case will be appealed to the South Carolina Supreme Court during its a term opening Monday in Columbia. James Weldon Swilling is appealing the death sentence, handed out last fall on convicin the slaying of cafe operator Christo G. Dunis of Greenville. In another appeal, Liles of Spartanburg contends he should get a new trial because he was inadequately represented by counsel. He was sentenced to 30 years for manslaughter in 1956.

Liles says further he was given narcotics before entering a guilty plea. A number of civil cases also lare on the April docket.

School Seeking National Rating The nine-member committee which has been conducting a four-day study of Blue Ridge High School's qualifications for accreditation made a favorable preliminary report the last of the week to Principal Joe M.

It is proceeding in the best bureaucratic fashion. The Democratic National Convention last August kicked the problem to the National Committee, which handed to a special committee, which voted to set up a task force.

The task force has not yet been named. The aim is to encourage greater Negro participation in Democratic party affairs in the South under ground rules be written before the end of 1966. The rules must be followed to insure recognition of delegates to the 1968 Democratic convention. CONVENTION CONTESTS This effort grew out of the 1964 convention contests over seating delegates from Alabama and Mississippi. While voting to seat delegates willing to sign a party loyalty pledge, convention instructed the National Committee to amend its convention call form for 1968.

Under the new language, state Democratic organizations will be asked for assurance that they keep their doors open to all citizens, regardless of race, creed or color. The special committee to help state organizations comply with the mandate is headed by former Gov. David L. Lawrence of Pennsylvania. The task force still to be set up will study state laws, party rules and party practices before the committee will be ready to offer advice.

He retired as dean in June 1961, but remained as professor in the department of history. HAMBONE'S MEDITATIONS By J. P.

Cohen said Sunday that Congress will be asked soon to revise the tax collection system to permit exact withholding for 1966 taxes. However, Cohen cautioned that the proposed legislation probably would not be passed in time to prevent under-withholding on 15 to 16 million paychecks in 1965. "We hope to have the changes in effect by Jan. 1, 1966," Cohen said.

Under-1 last year resulted in a flood of protests from taxpayers finding themselves with an unexpected tax bill on Thursday. GRADUATED SYSTEM Cohen said the proposed changes should be ready to be submitted to Congress within the next two months. Basically, they would involve a graduated withholding system, aimed at eliminating both over and under-withholding.

Oconee County Coroner Raymond Williams said Norris' body was found in the backyard of his home five miles west of Westminster. He was shot once in the chest with a 12 guage shotgun which was found nearby, the coroner said. No inquest was planned as no foul play was evident, the coroner A native and lifelong resident of Oconee County, he was a son of the late William Lacy and Leila Cooper Norris.

It often resulted in the lower wage scale having too much withheld and geting a refund while above wage earners have too little withheld and end up owning the government.

Under consideration now, Cohen said, are three or four different rates to the 14 per cent rate. It start replaces at, say, 13 per cent and graduate to perhaps 16 per cent. "It's not that new of an idea," Cohen said. "We had something like it in the early 40s but dropped it when joint returns were permitted in 1948. About 18 states now collect their income tax on graduated withholding basis." The under-withholding furor has been heated by Republican charges that the administration manipulated the rates in conjunction with the $11.4 billion tax cut last year to delude taxpayers into pumping more money into the economy.

"This situation is really over exaggerated," Cohen said. "We're going to be owing 42 million, same taxpayers number this we year owed last year without the new rates." However, Cohen said in some cases, persons didn't follow IRS warnings to make adjustments for the lower withholding rates. The IRS has adready announced that "hardship" cases would be permitted to pay after the deadline, but payment would be subjected to late penalties. F4B's Have Radar Aboard Marine Phantom Jet Pilots Hot For Action The new proviso in the 1968 convention call is an amendment to language adopted after the loyalty pledge struggle which disrupted the 1952 convention. FORMULA WORKED OUT After that convention, a compromise formula was worked out under National Committee sponsorship.

It required each party organization to promise that voters in its state would have a chance to vote for the nominees of the Democratic national convention. That plan broke down last year. Alabama voters could not 1 vote electors for pledged President to him. Johnson or for Hence the party leaders want to make whatever repairs are necessary before the 1968 convention to assure that the Democratic presidential ticket is on the ballot in every state. This problem would vanish if congress and the state legislatures approved the constitutional amendment recommended by Johnson.

His proposal would abolish the job of electors without changing the present system of counting electoral votes by states. Thus the Democratic vote in any state could not go to an unpledged slate of electors as it did in Alabama last year. Water Shivery Air Cool, But Bikinis Dot The Beach NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.

The F4B Phantoms, droopnosed fighters capable of speeds of more than 1,600 miles an hour, are considered by the Marines to be more than a match for the MIGs which have been attacking Air Force and Navy formations on strikes against North Viet Nam.

The Phantoms were brought here after MIGs shot down two U.S. Air Force F105s over North Viet Nam last April 4. The Communist planes surprised a formation of American planes and disappeared into clouds before the U.S. planes could counter. Military informants say the U.S.
