South Carolina S Senate
Bars Mixed-SchooI Aid

COLUMBIA, S. c., Mar. 81 (P).
The South Carolina Senate
yesterday voted to deny State
financial aid to any mixed race
public schools. 1t was this States
first direst legislative action
aimed at keeping segregation.
An amendment to the 1866
appropriations bill would with
hold the funds from any school
attended by children not APP
proved by local school trustees,
whether the children were at
tending by court order or not.
!. The amendment, which passed
second reading without debate
and without a dissenting vote,
was offered by Senate members
of a State committee which is
studying how to keep racially
segregated schools in the face
of a United States Supreme
Court decision outlawing them.
South Carolina voters already
have ratified an amendment to
the constitution which abolishes
a provision that the State main
tain public school system. The
legislature now could order a
system of private schools.

NEW YORK, March 81 tR.-
The band stopped playing at
Madison Square Garden last
night and $4,000 circus fans held
their breath. Then they exploded
into tumultuous applause.
It was not a tight-rope artist
or a smart equestrienne who
stole the show in the 1855 circus
opening.
Movie Queen Marilyn Monroe
rode onto the sawduSt arena on
top of a huge elephant, painted
bright pink for the occasion. She
wore a specially designed black
and d-white leotard "a form fitting
circus cosume) and black net
stockings. and blew kisses left
and right.
The cavernous garden, with its
maze of ropes and guy wires sus-
pended from the rafters, nearly
shook from the ovation.
Then the band picked up again
and the Ringing Bros. and Bar
mum & Bailey Greatest Show on
Earth" went on.
The opening night attraction
this year was the Dream Cir
