Priest Hits N. E. A.
A Roman Catholic priest

The Rev. Vincent O'Connell
Of st. Paul, Mimi, a labor arbi-
tration consultant and former
chaplain of the Minnesota
legislature, told the conven-
ton:
To-day, the decisions made
by professional, financial, en-
ployer and labor groups affect
human lives more directly and
more Importantly than many
political decisions. A man can
not be considered a full citizen
unless he exercises both eco
nomic and political citizenship.
IF I may be specific with
teachers, the best way that q
teacher can exercise his or her
professional or economic citi-
zenss,ip is by belonging and
working for and with the Amer
lean Federation of Teachers.
Some have suggested that 1t
is sufficient for q teacher to
belong to the National Educa-
ton Association. The associa.
ton was neither founded by
teachers nor for the welfare Of
teachers. Its structure is pri-
marily designed for (SchooD

Negroes Enroll
Without Incident
At Nashville

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Aug. a
(AP).-Fifteen Negro first grad
ers enrolled without incident
yesterday for desegregated
classes in seven Nashville city
schools. This compares with
2,136 whites in the same
schools.
Police and school authorities
said yesterdays registration was
carried out quietly and without
a sign of disorder.
This starts the second year
Of mixed first grade classes
under a "stairstep" plan of add
ing one grade a year, as ordered
in 1857 by Federal District
Judge William E. Miller. Last
years first graders can enroll
for second grade classes when
schools open September 8.
Last year, 10 Negroes enrolled
originally in seven schools, but
10 transferred within a short
time to all-Negro schools. The
remaining nine completed the
school year.
Disorders broke out in sew
eral areas at the start of school
last fall. The Hattie Cotton
School was dynamited during
the night after. first integrated
classes were held and police ar
rested more than 100 whites
and Negroes during several dis

The National Executive

their unit removed a discrim-

RALEIGH, N. c., Aug. n
(AP).-There were signs of op-
position to even token integra-
ton in North Carolina today as
the State prepared for the Sec
ond year of public school opera
ton under its pupil assignment
law.
At Winston Salem, the City
School Board faced a group of
dissatisfied white parents seek
ing transfer of their children
in protest over the assignment
of three Negro pupils to a pre-
.viously all-white elementary
school.
The Charlotte School Board
turned thumbs down on further
indignation, rejecting the appli-
cations of % Negroes for adj
mission to white schools.
In rural Arson County, off,
GERS indicated racial reasons"
may have motivated the burn
ing of two former white schools
that have been turned over to
Negroes.
Greensboro Steps Up Race
OF the three communities
which broke away from tradi-
tional segregated schooling last
year, only Greensboro stepped
up the pace Of token integra-
ton without drawing noticeable
81 reaction.
Negroes in Durham and
Raleigh, meanwhile, awaited
court rulings on suits seeking
admission to white schools.
The Winston Salem School
Board hearing was scheduled
after 1876 pupils at Easton Ele-
mentary School applied for
transfer to other white schools.
+. Only last week, the board as
signed the three Negro youths
to Easton. The transfer re-
quests of the white students
listed Indignation or race as the
reason for seeking a change.
City School Supt. A. Craig
Phillips said the board would
grant the requests under the
Pearsall Plan or pupil assign
ment law. This requires a local
school board to assign to a
segregated school any child
whose parents object to his at
tending a mixed school.
