HARRISBURG, Pa, May 10
R.-Pennsylvania, where racial
segregation in schools has been
outlawed for decades, found it
self today with three public
school districts admittedly prac-
ticing 1t.
Gov. George M. Leader imme-
diately promised to stamp 1t out
but without saying how. His
State superintendent of public
instruction. Charles II. Boehm,
said it was local law enforce
ment problem.
Gov. Leader, a 39-year-old
Democrat who long has cham
pioned civil rights, ordered
survey last October on how the
States more than 2.400 school
districts were doing on the con-
troversial segregation issue.
The results came out last
night-the nature of them sur
prising many on the official
Harrisburg scene.
Officials of three school dis
tricts admitted in a State ques-
tionnaire that Negroes were kept
apart from white students in an
elementary school in each dis
trict.
One Near Harrisburg
The schools are at Coatesville.
a steelmaking community about
80 miles east of Philadelphia:
in the Kennett Consolidated
System in the same county as
Coatesville and at Steelton-High-
spire. near Harrisburg. the State
capital.
In each case, the local school
superintendent said integration
efforts were under way and
would be completed in periods
ranging from six months tc
three years.
The segregated school IN the
Kennett Consolidated District is
named the Thaddeus Stevens
School. Stevens, Pennsylvania
member Of Congress, was one
of the Nations strongest abo.

century ago.

Penalties Provided
Pennsylvania law prohibits
racial segregation in any public
place including schools, under
penalty Of q 500 fine and q
90-day Jail sentence.
There was no indication that
this statute would be invoked
against the three school districts.
State Attorney General Thomas
ID. Mcbride told a newsman:
"Bigotry is against the law

The survey of $40 school
superintendents or principals
showed that 40 Of them were
in charge Of school districts
which enjoyed Negro teachers
and that no district had any
kind OF policy on this point.
Another survey is planned for
next October.

1t strains the imagination today to real

reminisces. I'VE played 10 league games"
He was born 80 years too soon. Even 20
years II the Battles of 1897 were playing
today, he might well be the best paid per-
former in the business, with his salary well
into five figures.
He came out of Akron, Ohio where he
was basketball mot a footbalD star. His
prowess with the round ball earned him a
scholarship at West Virginia Wesleyan. In
football there, he started at end before he
was shifted to the backfield, where he
belonged.
He was not quite unknown to Washington
fans when he reported as pro in 81. In
the very early 1930s Georgetown was a
power and West Virginia Wesleyan patsy.
About the only times wesleyan got on the
board was when Battles took a punt and
brought it back, all the way. In 1880 for
example, Georgetown clobbered the Noun

have attained had he played with better

ished at Wesleyan, he entertained three
offers
Portsmouth was interested, and so were
the Giants and the Redskins" Cliff relates.
"Moneywise, there was no real spread. In
fact, there was no real money. I'd played

teams figured I wouldn't pull any people
into the parks.
But whereas Portsmouth and New York

Three times Battles led the National

I'll say this for Sam-he brought the game

a dream backfield Washington had in 81.
And of them all, Battles was the first to be
