A recommendation to let the voters decide the issue came yesterday from the Coupty Board of Supervisors’ Ways and Means Committee* Commission, outlined the organization’s plight. He explained in 1969 some .$9.7 million would be coming in from present sources. Cook, like many others, deplored the violence of Dr. King’s death. "It must be recognized that violence is not going to accomplish anything. The death of one man, as magnificent a figure, as he was, is not going to stop the civil rights movement.” The recommendation is for the issue to go on the August primary ballot or the November election. A third possibility — for a special election — also was discussed.

The Road Commissiop, which operates from state gas and weight taxes, was asking for a "slice of the county pie" — or some of the money from county tax sources. But David Levinson of Birmingham, ways and means chairman, told them: "We haven’t got it. Take it to the people,” he'advised. McEntee said: "We must have more money,” and asked tho committee to allot them either a share of mllltye or some of the extra money now coming into the county from state income tax — over $2 million expected in 1969.

The young councilman asserts he has no uneasiness among hit elders and never has. “I just get out and fight,” he states simply. “I don’t hesitate to say what I feel should be said because of my age.” “Age shouldn’t have anything to do with a person’s capabilities,” he says. He admits that he didn’t reveal his age when campaigning from door-to-door.

(AP) — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., his head wrapped in a towel and an oxygen mask over his face, looked small on the stretcher as Ae was wheeled into the emergency room of St. Joseph Hospital at 6:16 Thursday night. His eyes were closed and the only sound tame from the re-susdtator pumping oxygen into his dying body. I had been sent to the hospital as soon as it was confirmed that Dr. King had been shot. Several of Dr. King's aides; his attorney, Chauncy Eskridge f and his chauffeur, Solomon Jones Jr., leaned over the stretcher. Their eyes were red and all were silent. As the stretcher disappeared behind the swinging double doors, Eskridge leaned on the desk in the waiting room- and put his head in his hands. “Why, why would anybody want to dp this. I just don’t understand it,1' He was not going into the room whew doctors were treating a gaping wound in Dr. King’s neck. “I can’t go in there,” he said. , ★ /★. # . Other members, of Dr. King's party emerged from the room and leaned against the wall. Most were crying. ' Nurses ran In and out of the emergency room, pushing their way through the crowd with the help- of policemen. r- ~ r—-~‘ An aide emerged from the operating room about 15 minutes after Dr. King arrived and stood with tears running down his cheeks. “They have killed Dr. King,” he said befpre a police officer advised him not to make any statements and he returned to the emergency room. Doctors, mmained silent on the condition pf Dr. King for an hour and 15 minutes. I met a priest in the hall af7 p.m. who had been in the room- “He must have been de|d when he ar-rivif*Oh, the terrible wound,” he said pointing the the right side of his neck. ' ★ * # At 7:30 several doctors lined up in front of the reception desk in the emergency room. All of Dr. King’s party were celled into the emergency room. “Is he all right?” soemone caned out as they filed into the room. “No, he is not all right,” said a Negro man standing behind one of the doctors. Paul Hess, assistant hospital administrator, read a terse announcement which said: “At 7 p.m. Dr. Martin Luther King expired in die emergency room of a gunshot wound in the neck.” Police arrived within minutes after the ambulance and quickly posted guards at every entrance to the hospital. Two patrolmen' with shotguns guarded the emergency room.* * ★ V Jones, , who was talking, with Dr. King as the shot rang out, fought back tears as he described the assassination. “I was standing beside .the car looking right into his face. He had- just come out of his room and I had told Dir. King, ‘It is getting chilly. Why don’t you put on your topcoat.’ ” LOOKED AT MAN “He said ‘Okay I will,’ and smilpd. He had just finished smiling when I heard the shot.
