No picket lines were expected, but the 14,000 members of the guild are preparing for a strike of at least six weeks. The guild rejected a request by the Association of Motion Picture d Producers that films under pro- duction be completed before the actors walked out. The Guild's board of directors also voted to ask the federal mediation service to help settle | Actor Strike Shuts Studios the dispute, a guild spokesman said. Main issue is the guild demand that actors be paid part of the earnings of pictures made since 1948 and sold to television. Pro- ducers claim this would be pay- ing twice for the same job. TV SHOWS GO ON Not affected by the strike will be independent producers, studios filming television shows and Universal - International studios. The independents and U-I have signed new contracts with the guild.

The outlook for settling the bit- terly contested election-year con- troversy appeared little, if any, brighter than it was when the is- sue was brought up in the Senate Feb. 15. While southerners expressed confidence that they can keep going with the day-and-night talk- ing they managed all last week, Senator Paul H. Douglas (Dem. Ill.) called for a vote soon to shut off the debate, "They're wearing us out," he said in a television interview. CLOSURE VOTE Douglas conceded that a deter- mined filibuster cannot be broken by around-the-clock sessions. He conceded it would be difficult to get the two-thirds closure vote needed to shut off the debate, but MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) -- The Negro sitdown demonstra- tions appeared to be approaching a climax in tense Montgomery to- day, while leaders in several other southern cities were urging trations or =-~djation. The sit-ins over equal lunch counter facilities now are in their second month. They have spread into seven southern states. Spokesmen for the National As- sociation for the Advancement of Colored People in Virginia and Florida have come out for com- tinued demonstrations by stu- den! and adults. But an inter- racial group in South Carolina and a college president in Ten- nessee favor meetings to discuss the conflict. A racial clash almost erupted here Sunday. An armed guard of more than 500 officers was needed to separate crowds of Ne- groes and whites. NEGRO PRAYER MEETING The Negroes had planned a mass prayer meeting on the state added "I think we have a very 'good chance to win." State College students whose re- capitol steps to support Alabama cent demonstrations brought ex- pulsion of nine campus leaders - and the promise of nearly 1,000 students to boycott the college. But the Negroes changed their meeting place to the nearby Dex- ter Avenue Baptist Church. While the session was in progress an estimated 5,000 white spectators assembled. As the Negroes started to leave the church, between 300 and 400 white men surged through police lines. Officers armed with clubs and service pistols broke up the white demonstrators and pushed the Negroes back on to church property. A squad -of mounted sheriff's deputies broke up the white crowd, and the Negroes left the church property in small groups. In South Carolina, the Negro Citizens Council of Columbia had Richland County planned to meet with students to talk things over. The South Carolina Council of Hu- man Relations, an interracial group, issued a statement sup- porting the students and offered to mediate differences between students and me: ts or mu nicipal - authorities.
