...Winston-Salem a couple of Ku Klux crosses were burned on a high school lawn, 200 out of 600 white students were transferred out of an integrated elementary school at parents' requests. One measure of North Carolina's small steps: Rabble-Rouser John Kasper of New Jersey got booed and heckled in Charlotte, saw his audience of 200 dwindle by boredom to 25 in Greensboro, got drowned out by a man operating a power saw (on Labor Day) in nearby Monroe, did not go to Winston-Salem...

Last week eight U.S. Senators from heavily suburban New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Connecticut sent a plea to the Senate Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee to find a solution to commuter woes, urged "that the Federal Government not preside over the liquidation of vital railroad services." But rather than federal aid or higher fares, the Interstate Commerce Commission believes that more local subsidies for rails are the solution.
