Aubrey Barnette, who ser– ved as secretary of the Fruit of Islam o·f Boston's Mosque No. 11, said in a Saturday Evening Post article that his career was one disillusion– ment after another. "Now, after more than three years as a Muslim, l see the basic contradiction between the Mu~lims' dogma and all that fine, fand talk about uplifting the Negro." "The Muslims," he charg– ed, "display a wasted inter– est in failure, in discrimina– tion, in segregation. The Mus– lims, no less than t h e Ku Klux Klan, want to "keep th-e Negro in his place." Barnette, a 1958 graduate of Boston University, insisted that Negroes have been mis– led by claim·s that the Mus· lims have active programs for education, brotherhood, harmony and moral rehabili· tation. "All myths,'' he ob– served. The organization "is a moneymaking propoaition which bleeds its followers dry.

The latest legal motion, a.c:·· cusing Sh.-riff Clark of "('On· tempt of court," wa.., promptf'd by the two and one-half mile "forced march" of more than 180 Negro youngstt>rs during Ft"bruary. "The forced march" was ('.On· ducted by Sheriff Clark and a poss.- of 20 men. The dem· onstrators were protesting the slow pace at which Selma Ne· groes are reg-istered to vote. In another legal action , De– fense Fund attorneys secured a Federal order releasing from prison 26 Negroes arrested on charges of contempt for dem– .onstrating at the Dallas Coun· ty Courthouse in Selma. They were released after each posted $100 bond. Fede1·a! District Court Judge Daniel H . Thomas will hear a motion on a "Writ of Habeas Corpus" aimed at wiping out the charges against 26 demon– strators. Norman C. Amaker, NAACP Legal Defense Fund attorney, said: "Although the first order only applies to a few of the many arrested, if will open the way for the release of other N e g r o demonstrators in Selma.." Immediately, Legal Defense Fund Attys. Peter Hall of Bir· mingham, Ala.; Mr. Amaker, Charles H. Jones and Director– Counsel Jack Greenberg, all of New York City, entered a simi· lar legal motion on behalf of 50 other Negro demonstrators arrested 'in thfs Alabama town. Meanwhile, the attorneys are still seeking to have Sheriff Clark imprisoned or fined, or both, for "willful and open con· tempt of the Federal Court's injunctive orders of Jan. 23 and 30." In the injunction against Sheriff Clark, Federal Judge Thomas stated: " .. . Under the guise of enforcement there shall be no intimidations har· assment or the I i k e of . . . those legally encouraging 1oth– ers l to register to vote." Legal Defense Fund attar· neys state that the Negro youngsters, who were forced to march, had "stood quiety outside the courthouse holding signs urging full and equal voting rights for Negroes. At no time were the demonstra· tors disorderly or unruly." ! "Yet;• the attorneys contend, "Sheriff Clark and his men used night sticks and electric cattle prodders to force the demonstrators to continue at a rapid pace on a "forced march." The march was "an act of desperation borne of frustra· tion." said Attorney Amaker. Aecording to sworn state– menst from two persons in· volved in the "forced march." several of the younger chil· 1 dren became sick and ex· ' hausted. No date has been set for Sheriff Clark to appear in Fed· era] Court to defend himself against the Legal Defehse Fund's charges of "contempt of court."

The team, made up of team captain Jim Westwood, Ore– gon City; Robin Freeman, Port. land; Larry Smith, Gresham; and Mike Smith, Salem, be· came the first squad to ever score four consecutive games in excess of 300 points. The PSC four game total points is now 1310. The record over a five game period was ~et by Bowdoin College of Ma i n e with a total of 1525. Portland State needs to score 215 next Sunday to crack that record. Miss Alison Shepherd, Coe College team captain, ripped off three fast early correct an. swers to the toss up questions to lead her team to a 120-90 half time bulge. Her alertness had Coe leading 95·0 early in the first half. But the second half was a different story as the PSC team came to life be. hind the quick firing accurate anwers of L a r r y and Mike Smith . Through their efforts tehPSC s q u a d quickly as· sumed command and never re– linquished their lead as they scored 255 points. Next Sunday at 5:30 p.m., PSC's "Quiz Kids", coached by Ben Pradow, associate profes– sor of speech will match an· swering wits against Birming· ham Southern College of Bir· mingham, Alabama. According to the rules of the game a team may win five consecutive times befon• re– tiring with a championship bonus of $1,500. A winning team earns a scholarship fund of $1,500 a game or a total of $9,000 for five games in– cluding the bonus. To d a t e Portland State has accumulat– ed $6,000. More vigor for a PSC win was added last week when an additional $1 ,500 was prom– ised the team in matching funds from the U. S. National Bank of Oregon. Another $700 was contributed to the PSC ~cholarship fund by the Ore·· gon Restaurant and Beverage Association.
