The order by U.S. Dist. Judge
Frank Johnson Jr., prohibiting
segregation - testing ..bus rides
pending a hearing set for June 12,
was directed at four organizations
and five Negro leaders active in
sponsoring freedom rides.
Sources at the court in Mont

tion of the judge’s orders is an
unlimited jail sentence.
As the defendants appeared be
fore him following a four-day
hearing, Johnson told them:
“If there are any such inci
dents as this (mob violence! again,
I am going to put some Klans
men, some city officials, some city
policemen and some Negro
preachers in the federal peniten
tiary.”

12-Year-Old Youth
From Tulsa, Okla. Wins
National Spelling Bee
WASHINGTON to — John
Capehart, 12, Tulsa, Okla., won
the 1961 National Spelling Bee
yesterday.
The calm young son of a neuro
surgeon outspelled Mary Lukes of
Oxnard, Calif., in the 25th round
for his victory over more than
five million other youngsters who
started in regional competition.
John’s triumph was set up by
correctly spelling “distichous,”
which means arranged in two
vertical rows, after Mary had mis
pelled it “distychous.”
He then clinched the champion
ship by spelling “smaragdine,” as
his extra required word.
He did not even pause for the
pronouncer to define the word,
which means of or pertaining to
emerald.
The field, which started out at
73 Wednesday, was cut to 17—12
girls and 5 boys — in those
rounds.
Then yesterday’s first round of
blockbusters trimmed the list to
9.
Eight finalists fell in the first
round of the second day of com
petition.
The contest is sponsored by
Scripps-Howard Newspapers in 18
cities and 54 other newspapers
and radio and television stations.
John’s winnings consisted of
$1,000 cash, a cup, a plaque for
his school, and a weekend in
New York with $100 spending
money. His sponsor was the Tulsa
Okla. Tribune.
The runnerup, Mary Lukes, was
obviously disappointed. She pick
ed up $500. The Ventura County
Calif. Star-Free Press was her
sponsor.
