Faubus Sees
Precedent for
Aid 10 Schools

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Sept.
l8 tAP).-Gov. Orval Faubus
of Arkansas said today there
are many precedents for gov
eminent assistance TO private
schools, such as have been
proposed in Arkansas TO cir
cumvent indignation.
He cited Federal grants to
education for lunch programs
and other assistance.
"If the Federal Government
can do this, how can they pre-
vent a State from doing iC2"
he said during an interview on
the NBC-TV To-day" program
If such a plan were put into
effect in Arkansas, he was
asked. did he not expect 1t TO
be contested in Federal Court
by the Federal Government.
private citizens or the National
Association for the Advance
ment Of Colored People?
Will Follow Decision
Perhaps" Gov. Faubus re-
piled. ANY citizen has the
right to take any matter into
Federal court if qualified to
do So"
Little Rock citizens will vote
September q on the question
of whether high schools will be
integrated. Gov. Faubus said
that If the will of the people
was for integration he would
abide by the decision.
When the people are ready
to open on an integrated basis,
l have always said / am ready"
he went on.
IF the people want it then
it can be accomplished. But it
is most difficult or nearly i'm
possible to enforce any law
which people believe wrong"
LincOln'S Counsel Cited
He expressed belief the great
majority of Arkansas people
was against integration.

Out OF these two pools Of

In New York, NAACP Cen

the organization would adopt
a waiting attitude toward the
new corporation. He said the

shown that the conversion is
only a device to avoid Supreme
Court rulings.
Special Referendum
Gov Faubus has scheduled a
special referendum for Sep
TENDER q. At that time, citi-
zens of the Little Rock school
district will vote on whether
they want integrated or seq
regated schools.
The result is considered a
foregone conclusion. Some OBJ
servers believe the corporation
will wait until after the refer
endum, thus having an explicit
mandate from the voters.

Tension Stirs
Illinois School

COLP, ILL.,, Sept. ID (AP) -
Race tension today figured
strongly in a school at Colp, a
town of 300 in Illinois south
ern mining district. White pu-
pills are boycotting the institu-
ton.
The town is almost equally
divided in white and colored
population. Like a number of
other Southern Illinois commu-
mites, its school facilities were
segregated until last year.
Then a Negro majority of
four on the seven member
school board voted for con-
solidation Of the towns two
segregated elementary schools.
The three white minority mem
bers resigned from the board.
theoretically Integrated
Now there is one elementary
school in Colp, theoretically in
tegrated. But all it's so pupils
are Negroes, Parents of white
pupils enrolled their children
in schools of adjoining districts,
at a cost of 5000 annual tuition.
There has been no disorder,
but the situation appears to
be heading for a financial crisis
in the school district. The
number Of pupils are too few
to bring in sufficient State aid
funds to keep the school going.
The Rev. Archie Mosley. 80
year-old Negro principal Of the
school, says that the crisis is
purely economic.
None Of the Negroes object
to segregated Schools" he says.
But transportation costs of a
divided district would make the
plan too expensive. We have
enough students here for a
school center"
RedivisiOn Proposed
A white former member of
the school board, Wade Rowatt,
has suggested that the Colp
School be closed because of
lack OF facilities. The district
should then be divided, he said,
and annexed by referendum to
adjoining districts.
But Mr.. Mosley's answer is:
Again too expensive, not to
consider the inconvenience.
Every pupil in the district would
have a transportation problem.
"Mr. Rowatt wants an all
white school," the principal
said. This is all right with
the Negroes in Colp. We just
want to provide an education
for the students we have"
A three-judge panel OF the
Williamson County Circuit
Court ruled on August 5 that
redistricting along racial lines
would be illegal.

kaskia River were demolished
The clubhouses were used MAIN
ly by vacationers. hunters and
fishermen.
Another twister struck at
about the same time in the
Chester-Steelville area so miles
southeast of st. Louis. Two
buildings were smashed In
Chester, but State troopers said
they apparently were unoccu-
pied.
Tornadoes dipped down in
Vergennes and skirted the edge
of nearby Elkville. State po-
lice said several roofs were
knocked of in Vergennes, but
no injuries were reported.
Vergennes and Elkville are
IS miles east Of Chester.

Mr.. Davis was critical of the
fact that an outside board was
established to determine the
appointments to these top
grade career jobs rather than
leaving 1t up to the Civil Serv-
ice Commission.
This could lead to personal
favoritism and could be more
fraught with danger to our
merit system than political ia
voritism, since in the latter
case the people have the final
voice." Mr.. Davis. chairman OF

"Traditionally Congress has
looked to the Civil Service
Commission as the final au-
thority for the selection OF
Federal personnel" Mr.. Davis
declared. 1.-THE referral of this
selection procedure to a group
other than the Civil Service
Commission might cause a
marked deterioration of our
merit system. For years Con-
gresS has tried to enhance the
prestige Of the commission and
not to reduce its effectiveness. "
