Nashville (Tenn.) BANNER:
The Clinton school case points up
the major problem with which the
General Assembly must cope in
January The Banner believes
that school problems Of Clinton. or
elsewhere in Tennessee, are for To-
cal and state authorities to re-
solve. II the Anderson School
Board considers these problems
beyond its power to administer or
adjudicate, they then become those
of the State authorities.
That being true, it is of the ut
most urgency that Tennessee equip
itself with adequate law. We can
not rely upon legal void, created
by federal measure, for the re-

case, that in the hostile environ

they could not possible have any

Washington, ID. c. STAR; The
results Of the municipal election in

news that has come out Of that
strife torn community in a long
time. School segregation was the
main issue in the election, and the
candidate for mayor who was sup
ported by the prosegregation fac
ton went down to defeat by a Al
vote.
This, perhaps is not a wholly
accurate measurement of senti-
ment in Clinton on the question
of migrating its high school, but
