SEGREGATION IN PENNSYLVANIA

HARRISBURG, Pa. GOV.
George M. Leader vowed to end
segregation in three state school
districts.
The Governor, q former civil
rights champion, became con-
cerned over the issue when it
was disclosed that Negroes were
segregated from white students
in two schools located at Coates
vile and one at Steelton- High
spire. Local school Superinten-
dents said the schools should be
integrated in six months to three
years.
This deliberate separation OF
the races was discovered when
the Governor made a survey to
determine how the Pennsylvania
school districts were faring on
the segregation issue.
