Maddox's stand was the upshot of the first major challenge to the hotly disputed public-accommodations section of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Just 2 hrs. and 10 min. after President Johnson had signed the bill, Maddox ordered three Negroes away from his place at gunpoint. Then, a three-judge panel in Atlanta ordered him to desegregate the Pickrick, but instead, he and Moreton Rolleston Jr., operator of the Heart of Atlanta Motel, asked Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black (who oversees the South's Fifth Judicial Circuit) to stay the effectiveness of the lower court...
...Britain's John Surtees, 30: the German Grand Prix over the tortuous (172 curves) Nurburgring circuit in the Eifel mountains, in 2 hr. 12 min. 4.8 sec., to average 96.56 m.p.h. and break the record he set last year. Surtees played it cozy for the first few laps, letting the field sort itself out, then gunned his Ferrari into the lead for good and finished 76 sec. ahead of Fellow Briton Graham Hill. Bad luck dogged Scotland's Jim Clark, the reigning world champion, who failed to finish because of a burned valve. Point standings...
...performance put on by Don Schollander, 18, a smooth-cheeked broth of a boy who favors gaudy red, white and blue swimsuits and starts like a torpedo out of a tube. In the 400-meter freestyle, he clipped nearly 1 sec. off the world record with a 4-min. 12.7-sec. clocking. Next he stepped up for the 200-meter freestyle -down went the record by nearly 1 sec., to 1 min. 57.6 sec. "I always think of the 200 as my property," said Schollander, then for encores added the 100-meter title and anchored both winning freestyle relays...
...went on that way for the better part of four days. Schollander's Santa Clara Teammate Dick Roth, 16, knocked almost 2 sec. off the 400-meter individual medley (butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, freestyle) in 4 min. 48.6 sec., picked up an American record in the 200-meter medley. Santa Clara's girls? Freckle-faced Claudia Kolb, 14, merely won two medals in the 100-meter and 200-meter breaststroke. Then there was Donna de Varona, already an Olympic veteran at 17, who won both individual medleys, besides helping all three winning relays for Santa Clara...
...Clara swimmers came a whole flotilla of young water bugs. City of Commerce, Calif.'s Sharon Stouder, 15, matched Schollander's triple by winning the 100-meter freestyle and the 100-meter butterfly, then lowered the world 200-meter butterfly record by almost 3 sec. to 2 min. 26.4 sec. Arizona's Marilyn Ramenofsky, 17, thrashed through the 400-meter freestyle in 4 min. 41.7 sec., breaking Chris von Saltza's listed world record...
