Southerner Asks
Limited GouIs to
Ease Race Tension

Racial tension can best be
eased by seeking limited
goals rather than full-scale In
tegration now, a Southern edi-
tor said last night.
Holding Carter, editor and
publisher Of the Greenville
miss Delta Democrat Times,
added that Southern resistance
to public school indignation
will not lessen in the ascer-
tainable future"
But he was optimistic about
eventual progress toward bet
ter race relations in the South.
Already. he said. segregation
lists in Greenville are more toll
Grant of opposing views than
they were q few years ago.
Speaking to more than 400
persons at the First Congre-
gational Church, Tenth and q
streets NV, Mr.. Carter said
that. from a realistic point Of
view, 1T is wishful thinking
to believe there will be any
significant change in the pub
lie school integration picture. "
The author said 1t was far
more important to raise the
academic standards of the
schools Of the South than to
make the composition Of the
student bodies a prime con-
Germ"
Mr.. Carter cited as interim
goals the attraction of more
industry, improved school sys-
TENS and protected voting
rights.

Protests Rise
Over New York
School Bans

NEW YORK. Feb. 8 @.-
The Board Of Education's new
policy Of ousting violent" stu
dents to protect the innocent
resulted yesterday in the sus-
pension Of at least GA pupils.
In elementary. junior and
vocational high schools, 54l
students were suspended. AT
least 100 others were suspended
from academic high schools.
This last figure, however, was
incomplete because many Of
the schools operated sessions
well into the afternoon and
after the suspension total was
released.
The boards new policy was
protested by organizations Of
parents. teachers and child well
fare experts.
Desperation" Charged
Mrs. Ralph Morris, director
Of the Public Education Assoc

''In attempting to force city
and state ofiicials to assume
their responsibilities, the board
has committed an act Of des-
peration and almost certainly
an Illegal one as we'll"
The Civil Liberties Union
called the new policy "exces-
sively harsh"
The Citizens Committee for
Children described the boards
action as ian abject surrender
to pressure and q hysterical re-
Spouse to the moment" The
committee urged the. State to
proceed with plans for work
camps for delinquent children.
Sending idle delinquents In
to the streets cannot be con-
sidered an answer" said the
United Parents Association.
Teacher Guild Protests
The New York Teachers
Guild called the boards action
shocking evidence that the
city has not provided schools
which can meet the needs Of
our time"
The teachers union said "the
board has been stampeded into
Q step that is regressive, illegal
and probably Intellectual"
The city has announced plans
to build six more special schools
for maladjusted children. It
already has I'VE.
Both boys and girls were in
cluded in the clusters but the
announcement gave no numer-
ical breakdown by sex, or race.
