Detroit coaches who attended
the state contests stated this
week that either Of the Metro
politan leagues four finalists ces-
tainly would have held their
own in the tournament.
Unfortunately, Metro cage
teams are barred from partlcipat-
ing in State Championship games
via league rule. Although va
rious arguments have been adj
vanced as to why Detroit bas-
ketball teams (public) are kept
out, we believe II time to re-
consider.
There are more than few
Metro coaches who favor enter

More Federal
Aid May Be
Given Schools

WASHINGTON Up - Two south
ern Democratic senators said to-
day the Supreme Courts antiseg-
regation ruling may serve to speed
proposals for federal aid to states
for school construction.
Sen. DIN D. Johnston (D-SC)
said last weeks unanimous high
court decision banning segregation
in public schools "has already
brought the federal government
into the control of our public school
policies as much as it can be-"
Johnston said in an interview
that the ruling "seems to take
away the argument that federal
aid for the building of schools
would give the federal government
the right to force nonsegregation
in our public school system"
Sen. Long (D-La) said the seq
regation decision makes federal
aid for school construction even
more necessary than before"

at precinct political work, like

more used to the home. They

They're at home in somebody

"Women are a natural for
all kinds of political work"
adds Mrs. Louchheirn. "They
are born organizers. They
know how to take over and
arrange a meeting-set up

they are wonderfully ingeni-
ous-just as they are in their
homes. If they don't have
something they substitute.
"We've known for years that
the way to get something
done in a community is to get
a bunch of women worked UP
about it. We in politics are
just going along with that
success story. We are trying
to cash in on it."
