fair. Ronnie Stevens and John

a come-from- behind 26-16 decision
over a game Wilson nine. Dick

the pitching duties for the losing

sorbing the loss. League president

Please feel that these are your
centers and the taking a part"
is rather to be an obligation than
favor. Come into the Centers
anytime, we need you to help Us

Gov. Clement said he studied

purport to take over the admin

expressly left that administra-

the hands of the local school Of

He emphasized what he said
is the Importance of giving local |
school boards the right and

the problem to them.

mended today a voluntary pupil
assignment plan for preserving
racially segregated public schools
in Tennessee.
In a speech prepared for a
joint session of the legislature

Sue-Gov. Clement said he is
making a moderate approach
to the problem.
Il for one. will not be a party
to any action which would i'm
peril or endanger the continued
existence Of our public schools, "
he said.
Suggests Five Acts
He recommended five specific
acts he wants the Legislature to
pass:
/ A law allowing local school
boards to maintain separate
white and Negro schools for chill
dren whose parents choose for
them to attend school with
members of their own race"
2. A law permitting local school
boards to place, assign and
transfer" the pupils in their jur-
isdiction. The heart of the plan.
this act would provide that local
boards would base their decisions
on sociological, geographical,
physical. psychological, fiscal,
educational and any other fac

3. An amendment to the exist
ing law authorizing pupils to be
transferred from one school sys-
tenn to another.
4. A law permitting two or
more boards of education to es-
tablish. maintain and operate
schools jointly.
5. A law amending the present
school bus statute to agree with
the rest of the program.

ern Regional Council reported
early this week that compulsory
segregation has ended without
incident in 81 cities where it
once was observed.
Dccreed by State Law
The Atlanta city attorney,
Jack Savage. explained that bus
segregation is decreed by Geor-
gia State law which requires
municipal authorities to enforce
it, The law, he said, also gives
bus operators police powers of
enforcement.
Gov. Marvin Griffin said he
had received word of the bus
desegregation move and had
conferred with Georgia Attorney
General Eugene Cook on the
matter.
Gov. Griffin said he was told
an attempt had been made by
Negroes to ride in front seats at
Five Points, business center OF
the city.
The Governor, who was brief
ing daily newspaper editors on
the States financial situation,
said he told newsmen I'VE are

it began as schedule around 10
am.
At the designated hour, many
of the city buses normally are
nearly filled with Negroes and if
a desegregation gesture was made
on one of these it would hardly
be noticed.

Begin Boarding Buses
The wife of the Rev. William
Holmes Borders. pastor of the
Wheat street church and chair
man of the desegregation move,
said her husband boarded a
bus near his home at the sched-
uled hour and that others did the
same.
She said that the Irwin bus
running by their home generally
carried few passengers at that
time.
AS the desegregation maneuver
proceeded. the city was flooded
with rumors, but R. L. Sommer-
vile. president of the Atlanta
Transit Co., said he had received
no reports of disorders.
Instructions to the Atlanta
preachers were similar to those
issued in Montgomery, Ala. just
before segregation ended on the
buses there. Desegregation moves
also have been launched in
Birmingham. Ala, and ITALIA
