Bth Anniversary Os Court Ruling On Desegregation

EDITOR’S NOTE: Today to the eighth anniversary of the Supreme Court's hist eric school desegregation ruling. This dispatch reports how government officials view developments since then. By WILLIAM J. EATON United Press International WASHINGTON (UPD — Two

government officials said today the Supreme Court’s historic desegregation ruling eight years ago has led to significant but painfully slow progress toward abolition of racial barriers in the nation’s public schools. y ■ This was the appraisal given by Assistant Atty. Gen. Burke Marshall, head of the Justice Deportment’s Civil Rights Division, and Berl Bernhard, staff director of the federal Civil Rights Commission, in interviews with United Press International. More than 1,900 school districts in |7 southern or bonier states still segregate Negro and white children. Three states—Albama, Mississippi and South Carolina — have not integrated a single classroom. It is estimated that less than 250,000 Negro youngsters—or 7.6 per cent of Negro enrollment — art in racially mixed schools in these states. The 1954 decision also has focused new attention on northern cities that f requently have a IlNegro and all-white schools because their neighborhoods are segregated. This has led to demands for positive action to achieve in-' tegration. The Supreme Court unanimously ruled eight years ago that “separate but equal” s chools were inherently unequal in violation of constitutional guarantees. It ordered desegregation “with aU deliberate speed.” Marshall told UPI today that the government was considering new steps to get faster compliance with the high court’s decision. For one thing, he said, the Justice Department would file a test suit “pretty soon" to try and force integration of a southern school now receiving U.S. funds to alleviate the impact on the community of federal military or civilian employes in the area. The aim would be to establish the federal government’s right to sue for desegregation, if necessary, of 3,600 such “impacted” school districts which receive U.S. aid They represent one-tenth of the nation’s 35,000 school districts. Marshall saw signs of progress! in the start of school desegregation in Dallas Atlanta and New Orleans during the cunrent school term. Ik some cases, onlv a single grade or a few grades were integrated and the number of Negroes admitted was dot a very high percentage. “These are cities of great symbolic importance,” Marshall said- “ Their decisions as fe c t e d the thinking of thousands of southerners who now realize change is inevitable' and not too far away. He said officials in other cities have a duty to make desegregation plans and start carrying them out without waiting for a federal court order in each case. Bernhard, in a separate interview, said over-all progress was “very slow” on removing racial restrictions in schools since the landmark decision. “But there is a growing acceptance of the law’s requirements and a growing desire to prevent any type .of ugly racial incidents,” he said. “Many business leaders now seem willing to get together wit|i

city officials and Negro tenders to work out their differences.” The Civil Rights Commission's staff director also said it has led to recognition that segregation in schools is a national problem and not confined to the southern states. A key case affecting northern cities was the suit against the New Rochelle, N.Y., school board. The board was ordered to desegregate the city’s schools after a federal judge found that its districts were, in effect, gerrymandered to preserve racial separation. Simila?”complaints about segregation by geography have arisen in New Jersey, Philadelphia and Chicago. Public school systems in southern states have developed a variety of techniques to mitigate the impact of the 1954 ruling. -Some such as pupil assignment, transfer rights and grade-a-year integration — have received federal court sanction in some states. The Supreme Court ruling has been under fierce attack in the South by critics who contend the judges were taking over the role of lawmakers from Congress instead of staying in their own field. Prince Edward County, Va., is the only area in the nation, however, where public schools remain shut in defiance of a desegregation order from a federal court. About 1,700 Negro children in the county are not attending any formal school. Most w hlte children are enrolled in a private institution. They pay their tuition with the aid of state grants that provide virtually all of the cost. Atty Gen Robert F. Kennedy, who travelled to Roanoke, Va., recently, call ed the Prince Edward situation a “blight on Virginia and the nation." The case is still before a federal court where Negroes are seeking relief from the present situation. Box Patron Service Window Open Early John Boch, acting Decatur postmaster, has received authorization from the U S. post office department to open a service window at 7:30 a.m. each day for the purpose of serving box patrons only, so they can receive parcels, registered, certified and postage due mail before the regular windows open at 9 a.m. This service is only for those persons who have rental boxes at the po;st office.

Bayh Backing Is Evident In Party Meets INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—District reorganization meetings of the Democratic party Wednesday produced evidence that Governor Welsh was right when he said State Rep. Birch Bayh had the majority support of party leaders for the senatorial nomination. Welsh set off a party split last Thursday when he picked the 34-year-old Terre Haute lawyer for the nomination, thereby h anding Indianapolis Mayor Charles Boswell a near-fatal blow to his hopes of gaining the nomination. Also passed over in addition to Boswell were Marion Mayor Jack Edwards and Appellate Court Judge John Gonas, announced candidates. Gordon St. Angelo, Huntingburg, who was re-elected Bth D istrict chairman, explained why his district, along with at least two others, adopted unsolicited resolutions commending Welsh for endorsing Bayh. Two Abstain “I think Mayor Boswell had considerable support in the Bth until after his attack on the governor,” St. Angelo said. ‘‘But that clinched it. We have 22 votes in our district, and the vote was 20-0 in favor of the resolution, with two abstaining. The two abstentions were from Spencer County and I think the only reason they didn't vote was because they hadn't attended an earlier meeting and didn’t know what the vote was about.” Boswell had retaliated against Welsh with strong charges .that he was “a weak governor with the backbone of a fishing worm” following the selection of Bayh. In addition to the Bth, the 10th and 6th districts also went on record with resolutions backing Bayh. However, the sth, home district of Edwards, came out w ith a resolution backing him for the nomination. Edwards assured the district meeting that “if Welsh changed hi s mind once, he no doubt will change it again, and realize the mistake he made last week.” This was a reference to a quotation attributed to Welsh last October favoring an open race. Edwards said he plans to pay his assessment to the state Democratic committee “as soon as I am advised of the exact amount. He declared, “I very definitely am in the race and will continue to fight.” Endorse Boswell Boswell's home district, the 11th, effectively endorsed him last Saturday when it elected him county chairman.

gressman Charles Halleck, House minority leader, urged the district to help get President Kennedy Into the area to help his campaign. Former President Dwight D. Eisenhower already had announced he will speak in the district for Halleck.

(UPD— The bullet-riddled bodies of a Shelbyville couple whose home was damaged in a $4,000 fire blamed unofficially on an arsonist were found at a drive-in theater entrance today. Authorities said Mr. and Mrs. William Wagner, about 32, were found ,shot to death near two parked , cars at the rtfar entrance of an outdoor movie oh Indiana 44 just east of Shelbyville. Another woman identified as Mrs. Mary Elliott was found shot but still alive at the same spot. She was rushed to Major Hospital here for surgery and later transferred to an Indianapolis hospital.

was set deliberately. Mrs. Wagner had an 8:30 a.m. appointment this morning with insurance adjusters at an office located outside the city just beyond the drive-in where the bodies were found. They speculated she and Mrs. Elliott were enroute to keep the appointment and that their car was stopped by another driven by Wagner. A theory being considered by investigators; was that Wagner stopped the women to prevent his wife from conferring with the insurance adjusters, that he shot them and then himself. Mrs. Elliott was shot in the back of the head. Donald Fitzgerald, 36, Shelbyville, -a— passing motorist, found the bodies in mid-morning, apparently shortly after the shootings occurred. —— —- Fined On Speeding Charge At Van Wert Elvin Adkins, 20, of Decatur, was fined $25 and costs on a charge of speeding by the municipal court of Van Wert, O.
