The population of Greene County was 81% black in 1965, but only 452 blacks - less than 11% of the county's votingage Negroes-were registered. Now there are 4,000 blacks registered, enough to put them in command of the local elections next November. The veteran white sheriff, Bill Lee, is so worried that he has publicly embraced S.C.L.C.

The military command in Vietnam may be able to substitute even heavier air strikes for the costly ground operations that have sent so many young men back to the United States in wooden boxes.
