TOKYO. June "a group Of

Socialists in demanding the res

last weeks riot in the Diet.
Despite the storm, Mr.. Yoshida
pressed for a vote in the Diet
today on a motion of censure
against As Socialists he believes
responsible for last Thursdays
unprecedented violence.
|. The storm broke over Mr..
Yoshida's bill to restore the ma
tional police of wartime Japan,
a measure the Socialists de-
nounced as fascistic. The meas
ure finally passed Monday.
The ProgreSsives (ConServa-
tives), acting as mediatorS, were
trying to block or minimize the
disciplinary motion against the
Socialists. However, 20 of the rs
Progressives in the House called
for a resolution demanding Yo.
Shida'S resignation.
Mr.. Yoshida was believed in
tent on the censure motion to
gain public support by spotlight
ing the Socialists use of force.
1t also would be revenge for
wrecking his world tour, now

| Three Plans Offered
In Georgia 10 Keep
School Segregation
BY the Associated Press

ATLANTA, June o. Three
somewhat similar plans for cir
cumventing the Supreme Court
decision striking down public
school segregation were presented
to the Georgia Education Com
mission by gubernatorial candi-
dates today.
But questions by the commits
sion's legal advisers indicate
they believe that only Gov. Her.
man Talmadge's private school
plan can permanently preserve
separation of the races.
The commission, created by
the 1858 Legislature to devise a
means for maintaining segrega-
ton, held the first of a series of
public hearings today to receive
suggestions and recommended
tions from the six candidates for
Governor.
AS Is members Of the 81
member commission met in the
Senate chamber this morning,
Gov. Talmadge, commission
chairman, called on former
Flynt Circuit Solicitor Ben Gar
land as the first gubernatorial
candidate to be heard. Before
Mr.. Garland began, Gov. Tai
madge excused Agriculture Com
missioner Tom Linder, who said
he had another engagement and
announced he had invited former
acting Governor M. E. Thomp-
son, who also pleaded previous
engagement. to appear later.
Mr.. Garland offered a proposal
for local school boards to main
tain separate white and Negro
schools but to organize schools
on the basis of sex, giving
patrons a voluntary choice of
schools where this can be worked
out on a segregated basis.
He would give boards author
ity to designate and assign stu
dents to schools and classes on
the basis Of qualification, resi-
Dental zones, sex, transportation
and other factors.
He also would authorize tests
Of a students aptitude and ex-
animation of his scholastic
ability and social and other
background.
Representative Charles Gowen
of Brunswick offered the same
Evening star., 1954-06-09

proposal he has been advocating
for several months, namely CIV
ing superintendents exclusive
authority to assign students to
schools and classes and setting
up a series of appeals from such
administrative decisions.
1t. Gov. Marvin Griffin had
ready for presentation when his
turn comes what he calls a ''hold
the line plan." providing among
other things for local school
boards Of at least 100 members.
He also would give these boards
authority to assign students and
would set up residence qualifica-
tionS which would bar students
who are not permanent residents
of the State.

BY PERCY GREENE

Parish STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: I've heard it said that the
reason Aine Haggar's Chillun have
increased in prosperity and growed
in numbers is because they can laff
at things that make other folks
cry, or jump out of some high
building, and because they says
they believe what the BIBLE says
and they are always able to
see when "De Lawd is in de plan"
-. Ever since the high court ruled
that segregation in the public
schools is unconstitutional, as we
gather around at our favorite spots
along the Ole Avenue for our Sat-
dee Mite repast of fish and beer
I've been waiting to hear somebody
start talking about what the
BIBLE says, and how far "De
lLawd is in de plan" So being
on the lookout and confident that
it would come l wasn't surprised
when while l was eating my fish
and drinking my beer when heard
one of the Brethren of the Tribe
say, Now, when you comes to dem
EN-double-A See PEGS what dey is
trying to do is awright and va take
dis hyar deeceeshun Of de Spreem
court its done said suffin den it
amt said muffin yet ration, seems
den lack US got to wait til it makes
up its mind after dem lawyers goes
back up thar dis fall fur it to say
suffin denusll know what dey is
talkin bout :. kept listening as
| took another drink of my beer
and bite of my fish Den you
see-hyar-u'all eff you take de
BIBLE fur it what dem En-double-
A-See-Pees is trying to do is aw-
right but dey don tuck us up to
the mountain top and showed US
sumfin and now den we's and
dem EN-Double- A-See- PEGS is boff
up on de mountain top and
faint muffin but dat Spreem Court
kin tell us how to come down e.
For a long time after this Brother
had concluded his remarks | sat
over in my corner my mind unable
to escape the burden trying to see
"De Lawd and de plan" and trying
to figure out whose side HE is
going to be on after the lawyers
go back before the Court this fall
While this phase of what the
Brother had said continued to stay
on my mind, there was one thing
about which / was so certain that
| dismissed it from my mind after
only short period of reflection
and that is, as the Brother
taid, Dem En-Double- A See PEGS
is show done tuck Aine Haggar's
Chillun up on the Mountain Top
