It was the opinion of some that the club had not fulfilled it's original purpose. It was stated that al though money had been collected nothing of a concrete nature had been done to show the dona~ tors that their money was not given in vain. It was urged that some project in the name of the club be undertaken to show good faith with the people of the town Others felt that more progress would he made if no new organi zations were formed and if the people in the ccmnuni " concentrated their efforts pr ore or two proj jects that might be recommended by the action group of the Citi zen s Study Group.

 The test holes, called shot holes, are drilled every quarter mile at diff N ferent depths, and small charge of dynami te is set off inside. The energy reflected from these explosions IS re- corded, and the -hcords of all test holes are put together to form geo. physical picture of the area which
 indicates the likelihood of finding oil If, the likelihood appears great enough test wells will he dug. The present drlllings, however, are not test wells, and will be filled in after the records are made.
 Permit forms, granting the company lermi ssion to drill exploratory holes on private property, have been sent out to property owners in this area, and 20 percent have been signed and returned According to E. J. Glenn, Party Chief for the company, 75 percent of the per- mi ts must be granted in order to carry on drilling operations properly. Glenn further stated that the permit is not lease or signing away of land or mineral rights. If oil should be discovered in drilling "a test hole | would De to the benefit of the property owner, he said.

Court should permit gradual

They proposed that the Vir-

remanded to the Federal District
Court in that jurisdiction with
instructions to integrate within
a reasonable time.

s States Reveal Plans
10 Give Segregation
Briefs 10 High Court
BY Robert K. Welsh

The Supreme Court was as
sured today of varied advice and
argument based on briefs from
law officials of several States di-
rectly concerned with the prob
lem of public school racial inte-
grafton.
Only six States-Maryland,
North Carolina, Florida, Tennes-
see. Oklahoma and Arkansas
responded to the tribunals in
.vitation to give notice BY Sep
TENDER Is of intention to submit
friend-of- the-court briefs by
October l.
But briefs automatically are
expected also from the District.
Virginia. South Carolina, Della
ware and Kansas. Those juris-
dictions were involved in the
five cases decided last May II.
The court at that time unani-
mously outlawed public school
racial segregation. It called for
further discussion this fall on
how and when integration should
take effect.
Other Briefs Asked.
The Attorney General of the
United States was invited to gre
sent a brief offering views as to
the fairest and most effective
form of decree that should be
handed down. Groups such as
the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People
which participated in arguments
last year and in December, 1852,
on the school segregation ques-
ton itself likewise will have an
opportunity to submit briefs and
be heard.
The Supreme Court opens its
new term October 4. The oral
arguments may be heard in No
vember or December.
Not all of the six States that
met yesterdays deadline for ask
ing permission to submit briefs
want to be heard in oral argu-
ment. Notifications from Florida,
North Carolina and Oklahoma,
contained such an additional re-
quest. There were informal re-
ports that Maryland authorities
might seek argument time.
District TO Report.
The Districts part in the pro-
ceedings seems likely to be main
ly a detailed report of what al
ready has been done and what
is planned to complete integra-
ton of public schools here in
1855.
Virginia and South Carolina
officials have not disclosed what
they will recommend to the SUI
preme Court as to the "how and
when of ending segregation.
Public authorities in the cases
from those States may stand on
the same statements they made
in reply to questions last De-
cember.
One question scheduled for
further discussion this fall is
whether the court should issue
DEGREES requiring admission of
Negro children forthwith" to
schools nearest their homes, or
whether there should be an
effective gradual adjustment"
The other question is whether,
