an independent school in l945.

Miss Roth Set
Free on Bond
In Bank Case

CHICAGO, Aug. 25 tP.-Miss
Bessie Roth, who seemed a kind
ly bookkeeping supervisor but
who allegedly allowed friends
to get away with almost half a
million dollars in bank funds
was released today on $1,000
bond.
United States Commissioner
C. S. Bentley Pike continued
until Tuesday Miss Roth's ar
raignment on a charge of mis-
applying a $3,756 check drawn
on the Lawndale National Bank
July 20.
Although the woman is charged
specifically with misapplying
only the one check, Federal Off
cials have placed the overall
amount involved in the case at
|$467, ,288.
Assistant United States At
torney Frank j. McGarr said
Miss Roth was responsible be-
cause she had allowed known
customers to cash postdateo
checks and accepted "holdout'
checks which exceeded the money
in customers accounts. Mr.. Nc
Carr said Miss Roth approved
the improper checks and ther
."held them out" so they would
not be charged against the Gus
toners balances.
"She didn't get a cent of the
Imoney-she apparently just die
favors for Others" Mr.. McGari
declared.

Il Considered
For Health Job

A dozen candidates are under
consideration for the post OF
District Health Director Daniel
Seckinger. Commissioner David
B. Karrick said last night.
The Health Director is slated
to retire at the end of this year,
and the city heads have invited
interested persons to apply for
his Job.
Mr.. Karrick said some addi-
tional applications may result
from notices sent out by the
city. He is waiting, therefore, be-
fore starting interviews with all
the candidates.
Mr.. Karrick lodged the ques'
ton of school finances in an
interview on the weekly Report
to the People" program on sta
ton WWDC.
Asked whether he saw eye to
eye with John B. Gillilland, pres
ident of the District Congress OF
Parents and Teachers, on the
need for increasing school ex-
penditures, Mr.. Karrick declared
Il would see eye to eye with
him up to certain degree, but
l think the needs of education
important as they are. must be
equated with other needs fac
ing u.s.
He cited health and welfare
in particular.
Mr.. Gillilland, in a letter tc
Brig. Gen. Thomas A. Lane, En-.
gineer Commissioner, last week
complained that the schoo
budget for next year was being
trimmed despite an unexpected
increase in District revenues.

since it got under way nearly 10
months ago. For a time he was
Ia driver in the boycott car pool.
A native of Clarksburg. w. Va,
he attended Capital University
and Seminary in Columbus, Ohio,
where he became interested in
work with Negro young people.
Before accepting his Mont
gomery pastorate he was intern
minister at predominantly
Negro church in Los Angeles.
Only this week Mr.. Graetz
had invited Montgomery's white
ministers to attend meeting of
the bi-racial Montgomery Coun-
ell on Human Relations, to hear
a Negro pastor, the Rev. Martin
Luther King, jr.. tell his side
of the story" on the bus boycott.
The white ministers declined
the invitation.
Mr.. King, convicted of violat-
ing Alabama's anti-boycott law
last spring, was unavailable for
comment on the bombing.
Sees Whites Uninterested
The mayor commented that
for the most part white people
of Montgomery have been dis
passionate about the bus boy
colt and have shown very little
interest in it.
They don't care particularly
how the Negroes solve their
transportation problem he said,
"and don't care if the boycott
lasts 100 years"
The explosion, which came
about 3 am, blew open the front
door and dug hole in the front
yard about big enough to fit a
two-gallon bucket.
Today's explosion was the third
which has occurred since he
boycott began. One damaged the
King home last January 80, and
another the home of Negro leader
E. D. Nixon. two nights later.
No one was injured in any of the
blasts.

The affair was the latest in a

ing RuSsia's hardening attitude
on the Suez issue.
Mr.. Khrushchev indicated in

Thursday night that if Col. Mas
ser decides to force a military
showdown he will have some

INTENDED to encourage Col. Mas

that the Arlington School Board
would use the assignment plan
to begin integration.
Both said that "if the matter
was left to both races. without
interference from groups such as
the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People,
it would largely adjust itself
They propose to introduce legis-
lation to require the registration
of such organizations in order to
operate in Virginia and thus
prevent such an organization
from melting parents to bring
suits"
Gov. Stanley will ask the Gen.
eral Assembly to pass legislation
withholding State school funds
from communities that inte-
CRATE, and to provide tuition
grants for private education oi
students where schools are
closed.
FavOrs Gray Program
Earlier, Senator Fenwick haC
said he was mot willing to abol-
ish our public school system
throughout Virginia or, in al
sections of Virginia, to prevent
some limited integration."
Senator Fenwick said that hi
opposed the Governors plan ir
the commission because ! be-
lieve the original recommends
tions of the Gray Commission
will preserve our schools anC
more nearly carry out the Gov
ernor's objectives. /. The Coy
ernor's bill would not accom-
plish its purpose of preventing
any integration. Under its terms
localities could operate public
schools out of local tax fund:
and these schools, under court
order, would be integrated."
Senator Fenwick said he would
support ANY lawful means tt
prevent enforced integration o1
the races in our public schools
which includes the original rec
concentrations of the Gray Com
mission"
Two Arguments
Gov. Stanley's followers are
using two principal arguments
to rally additional support from
arriving legislators:
/. This may not be the fina'
answer, but they should try il
before resorting to the pupil as.
signment plan which could re-
suit in some integration.
2. The Supreme Court has moi
ruled on what constitutes ar
efficient" school system, and the
Governors position is that Vir'
ginia can operate efficient
schools only if they are segre-
gated.
The first argument was calcu.
lated to appease those who haC
supported the original Gray plan
which included a combination
pupil assignment and tuition
grant program. Amajority of the
Gray Commission now ha.
agreed to go along with the Gov.
ernor and bypass the pupil as.
signrnent plan in favor of hi'
fund-withholding idea.
