Closed Schools Costly
Virginia has spent nearly ST.
100000 on it's nine white schools
closed in the state to prevent the
moving of the races in classrooms.
The total loss to the pupils locked
out of schools, the loss of business
in school areas, the loss of some
materials that would be used by the
pupils and other items will push
the total loss beyond 100000.
The bill for six closed schools
in Norfolk was $924,574 at the
close of the year. The six white
secondary schools were closed by
Governor Almond to prevent in
tegration ordered by the district
federal court.
Meanwhile, a report from Wash
ington indicates that no federal
money will be used for public
schools closed or converted into
private institutions in the current
fight against desegregation. The
federal government has appropri-
ated 500 million for schools.

The Richmond Area Committee

groups In Norfolk and Charlott-

These parents are determined
to have the nine closed schools in

Suicide Attempt

st. Paul police were called tc
$50 w. Central Av., Saturday Jan
"a in answer to a call that a man
was attempting suicide.
Arriving there they found L. c.
Crenshaw, 35, lying on the floor
of a bedroom in his underclothing
with a six foot piece of clothesline
around his neck.
AS the police entered Crenshaw
pointed to his chest and stomach
and asked them to shoot him.
He then ran to the kitchen of
the house and returned with long
kitchen knife and threatened Of
ficers Albert Corr and Raymond
L. Rock with it.
The police ordered the man to
drop the knife which he did. Short
ly afterward another officer Larry
Swanson arrived and placed hand
cuffs on Crenshaw as he became
more violent.
Crenshaw incoherently muttered
threats to kill the officers and
himself as he was driven to An

for observation.
He was booked on a hold charge
of attempted suicide and attempt
ed assault.

What the white Hungarian does
marks him a freedom-loving people

Yet both actions stemmed from
precisely the same motive and fol-

The Government of South Africa is
seeking to ban social gatherings
that are attended by natives.

De Wer Mel, minister, Bantu ad-

he wanted to end mixed drinking

He said he has given the city
council the names and addresses of
Is persons at whose homes these
parties took place.
He said the only way to put an
end to the parties is to ban all
mixed social gatherings, other than
