C|osings Folly,
Ashmore Says

CHAPEL HILL. N. c., Jan.
81 (AP),.-Harry Ashmore, edi-
tor of the Little Rock tArk.)
Gazette, told a group of Caro-
lima businessmen today that
talk of disbanding public schools
because of the segregation
problem is folly.
mo part of this country is
so utterly dependent for pro-
gress as the South is on public
education said the Pulitzer
Prize-winning editor.
He addressed 80 men who
are members or graduates of
the Business Executive Pro-
gram, a special education prof.
ect at the University of North
Carolina for executives.
Leadership Called For
He told the executives they
are the "power structure of So
ciety," and added: you'll have
/ to exercise this leadership in
the face of hostile public opin-
ion and people calling you a
Communist and niger lover
and anything else they can
think of"
Mr. Ashmore said the begin
ming of selective public integra-
tion in Charlotte, Greensboro
and Winston Salem. NC, with
in the framework of the States
pupil assignment act, is an ex-
ample of proper but gradua
conformity with the United
States constitution.
"The preachers have failed
We few worn-out editors have
failed. The political leader:
have fallen back into unreality
The segregation problem can bt
solved realistically and rational.
ly by you, the power structure
he said.
Business Showdown Seen
He said business has been Sc.
riously affected by the inte.
grafton problems in Little Rock
and industry is holding bach
on locating in Arkansas" HI
added that a showdown in busi
ness activity is inevitable If thI
South abandons public schools
He said the South's creates
problem is not segregation bu
its refusal to discuss the prob
lem.
And Mr.. Ashmoore charget
that Arkansas Gov. Orval Fau
bus used segregation strictly a
a device to get a third term.
Il don't think it makes an,
difference to Faubus if whit
children and Negro children g
to school together or go t
school at all. He's a career poll
tician and is using this for eX
pediency," the editor said.

Some Segregated
Schools Urged

HOUSTON, Tex, July l6
(AP) Some Houston schools
should remain segregated in the
event the South'S largest school
system is integrated, DR.. John
w. Mcfarland. superintendent
of schools, said yesterday.
Many believe every effort
should be made to insure there
would remain some schools
where white students a tie n d
school solely with other white
students and other schools
where Negro students can at
tend school solely with Negro
students" Mr.. Mcfarland said.
1T is extremely important
that if and when deSegregation
occurs, it should occur grad
ually," he said.
The superintendent said there
are indications the great ma
jority of Negro students will
prefer to remain in their pres
ent schools.
United States District Judge
Ben C. Connally ordered TIA
Houston School Board to sub
NIT a desegregation plan to him
by August II. The district has
been under a Federal court
order for two years calling for
integration with all deliberate
speed"

however, has lowered its sights
to $140 a month.

The Imam and his household
left Rome Tuesday night by
plane for home, then returned
a few minutes after takeoff.
Yemen officials said the alti-
tude had made him uncom-
Portable and he would go home
by ship in a week or two.
But the Italian news agency
AnSa Speculated that the ruler
had returned because he found
Saud Bint missing after the
takeoff.
The Rome newspaper II
Tempo said one of the Imam's
Italian doctors told it Saud
Bint had not fled, that he had
seen her at the villa last night.
Saud Bint, said II Tempo,
was given to the Imam by King
Saud of Saudi Arabia. She was
so much the favorite, the paper
reported, that she was the only

who could coax the ruler into
taking his bitter medicI be while

A17-year-old boy was elected
president yesterday of an old
peoples club which plugs for

No one could foresee the con-
sequences when the Townsend

meeting two weeks ago to play
his accordion.
Il hear you need new presi-

might as well take it."
And take it he did, without
platform or a campaign. He
succeeds 73-year-old Paul w

Is years.
Young Pastor also pulled in
a young running mate. Marvin

reports that Saud Bint, ia

wanted to change her religion
