For School Infeqr0fion
Washington (ANP)-The young
people of America were assured
last week that the Eisenhower
Administration would mot be sat
isfied until the last vestige Of dis
elimination has disappeared"
The assurance was made by
Gerald D. Morgan, the Deputy AS
sistant to the President, at a White
House conference with delegation
of four young people representing
the Youth March" on Washing
ton.
The delegation of two Negro
girls, Miss Josephine Boyd Of
Greensboro, N. C. and Miss Sallye
Phillips of Hartshorne, Okla, and
two white boys, Curtis Cans of
Chapel Hill, N. c., and Harlem
Eric Joye of New York, left with
Mr.. Morgan several recommended
tons which they hoped the Presi-
dent would consider in this strug-
gle for school Indignation.
President Received Recommends
tons For Indignation
Among the recommendations
was one which urged the Chief
Executive to make an explicit
moral as well as legal commit
ment of the full resources of the
Federal Government to the OBJ
jective of achieving orderly, eff
fective and speedy Indignation of
schools"
Another recommendation was
the request that the President
place his weight behind the pas
sage of an effective civil rights
bill such as the Douglas-Javits-
Celler bill.
The principal recommendation
was that Mr. Eisenhower call to-
gether a White House Conference
of youth and student leaders from
both North and South to discuss
ways in which youth may partici-
pate in the experimentation of the
Supreme Court decision.
The small delegation received at
the White House Saturday repre-
scented the $4,000 Americans who
converged upon Washington in in
terest of indignation. Coming by
plane, train and bus, these inter-
ested citizens assembled on the
Mall midway between the Capitol
and Washington's monument. A
line of march was formed at this
point and a two-hour parade pro-
ceeded down Madison Drive to
Sylvan outdoor Theater which
nestles among shrubbery and lilac
bushes at the foot of the monu-
ment.

adults and children, coming from
all sections of the country, heard
addresses by such national leaders
as Roy wilkins, Tom Mboya, and

young people petitions for integ-
rated schools bearing 100000 sig

Philip Randolph stated very en-
phatically in his opening state
ment that Negro Americans would
resist with all moral and legal
forces any efforts on the part of
the Faubuses, Talmadges and
Eastlands to destroy the NAACP.
The Rev. King advised the
young people that no matter what
