TRANSFER BIDS
OF 9 REJECTED

RICHMOND, Sept. APP
The State Pupil Placement
Board has rejected the transfer
applications OF nine Negroes
assigned to white Charlottes-
vile schools by a Federal judge.
The 9 were among IL Negroes
the Charlottesville School Boar d
assigned to two white schools
for the term beginning next
week. The placement board,
which had withheld action on
the applications earlier, re-
jected all IL. This is a continu-
ton of the boards policy Of
not assigning any Negroes to
white schools.
Observers said the action of
the placement board probably
would not halt indignation of
Charlottesville schools when
they open next week. They
noted that the city school board
might ignore the State boards
action. Also, they said, Federal
District Judge John Paul IN all
likelihood would direct the
city board to proceed with in
tegration as planned. The
Charlottesville school board
agreed in court last year 10 be-
gin desegregation this fall.
The board yesterday adopted
a resolution requiring local
school authorities to notify
parents involved in assign
ment decisions.
