Continued from Page 1 olis plan was announced . . . There are now two all-Negro schools in the state: Roosevelt of Gary and Attucks. The students of Shc):tridge do not want to be added to the number.” OSTHEIMER LAUNCHED the discussion by reading his brief statement, which he had been directed by the board to prepare. It did not contain the words “integration,” “segregation,” “desegregation” or “Negro.” It listed three points: “the deep commitment we have to the concept of the neighborhood school”; teachers must be employed and assigned regardless of race, creed or color; “the same high quality educational environment must be provided to all students.” Harry McGuff moved to accept the statement and Col. L. R. Mottern seconded the motion. Mrs. Page then said: “I am disappointed. I do not expect other board members to feel as strongly as I do, for as a Negro I was forced to attend a segregated school. Since that time our schools have made progress, but I term that progress tokenism.” Ruckelshaus joined Mrs. Page’s criticism. “We must realize,” he said, “that we have a problem—de facto segregation. We as a board must recognize that problem and take steps to solve it.” LUGAR READ a reply to Ostheimer in which he criticized the Superintendent’s statement sharply. He said the statement “might have con-* tributed significantly to better racial relations in this city by explicit recogniton that the educatonal problems faced by Negro youth are severe and that our school system not only recognizes these problems but is committed to move ahead full speed toward their solution.” Lugar continued: “If , and when we examine what is happening in all-Negro schools in Indianapolis, the citizens of this city who are interested in its growth and in fairness to everyone will be stunned to know the long distance we still have to travel to bring truly equal educational opportunity to each of our children.” RAPPING MRS. COBLE for giving “confusing” statements to the public that “consideration of race was not a factor in any of our decisions,” Lugar listed eight programs in which he said the schools have acted to help disadvantaged Negro pupils. “Why is our Superintendent and our board ashamed to say that we are sensitive to the needs of Negro citizens in our community?” he asked. “The time has come for an end to double-talk.” Mrs. Coble took up the cudgels in defense of the Ost-
heimer statement, which she said “clearly reflects our past and present policy. It is based on voluntary integration, not forced. We need to do two things—to be just and to do what the law says we must do. This we are doing.” “I object,” Lugar challenged her, “to the statement that this is our present policy. It is your own personal policy, but it’s not the board’s policy.” Mrs. Coble replied: “I think that when you consider race in any way, that is differentiating between the races.” SCALES DROPPED a bombshell into the ranks of the conservatives when he declared: “It is impossible for me to vote for this statement I consider it as inadequate for the present situation. I believe the Indianapolis schools are 100 percent desegregated. However, that is not to say that the schools are integrated.” Even McGuff, who eventually voted for the statement along with Mrs. Coble and Mottern, said: “I'm certainly in agreement with many of the things you say, but I think we have been unfair to the Superintendent. We need to have a base from which we can start, and that is the board’s responsibility.” “I think it is an excellent policy,” Mrs. Coble reiterated just before the vote was taken. THE PETITION being circulated reads: “We, the undersigned, urge the Indianapolis School Board to take immediate steps to promote integration and to prevent segregation to the fullest possible extent in the Indianapolis Public School system.” It is sponsored by Rev. Robert Smith, NAACP education committee chairman; Rev. Andrew Brown, president of the Central Indiana Christian Leadership Conference, and Dr. James L. Hawkins of the Interracial Task Force on Education.

Continued from Page 1 When he did so the physician, Dr. Robert Butterfield, said to get him to Indianapolis at once. BUT JOHNSON’S difficulties continued. That was a time of heavy snow, and the highways were blocked by drifts. It was three days before he could be brought to the Veterans Hospital. It was on the trip from Muncie to Indianapolis that Johnson lost his speech. Dr. Butterfield has stated that Johnson had no history of headaches or speech trouble orior to Feb. 15. The NAACP first took Johnson’s case to the Mayor’s Human Rights Commission in Muncie, but without avail. The mayor’s commission said it could not act because it has no compulsory powers, an NAACP spokesman said.
Grid seats drive in final week
With only a week to go, the drive to purchase seats for the Attucks football field was far short of its $34,000 goal. Contributions totaled $7,583, it was announced by Charles D. Walker, director of the evening school who is helping the fundraising committee. “However,” Walker said, “I’m confident we’ll go over the top.” Coach Graham Martin’s team led the collections with $7,583. Assistant coach Donald Oldham’s team was second with $531. The final meeting of the drive will be held Tuesday.
neers of the U.S. Army are being urged to make plans now for a reunion. It’s been 20 years since the buddies have been together and any man who served in the regiment during World War II should contact Charles Ford. 3450 N. Capitol, WA. 4-0640.
