Harlem called off demonstration
scheduled for this morning at a
junior high school in the River
dale section of the Bronx.
The parents announced their de-
cision after obtaining a court or
der requiring the Board of Edu-
cation to show why the Harlem
children should not be admitted
to the Riverdale school or to one
in a predominantly white neigh
borhood in the northern part of
Manhattan.
The school board was required
to give its explanation tomorrow
morning before Justice Henry Clay
Greenberg in Supreme Court in
Manhattan.
Paul B. Zuber, attorney for the
Negro parents, asserted that his
group-said to consist of about
200 parents and an equal number
of children-did not want to en-
gage in the kind of demonstration
employed by the Queens residents.
The Harlem parents have charged
that their children are receiving
inferior schools.
Mr.. Zuber said that the 200
children involved had not attend
ed the Harlem school so far this
week and did not plan to. School
officials said that they were I'M
aware of any mass boycott.
In the Ridgewood-Glendale sec
ton of Queens, the situation was
quiet yesterday morning.
On Monday, the transferred pu-
pills from the Bedford Stuyvesant
section of Brooklyn were greeted
by crowds protesting forced in
tegration" Of their neighborhood
schools. The school system has
denied the charge, saying that
the shift was intended solely to re-
lieve overcrowding in Bedford
Stuyvesant schools.
Yesterday, there were few per-
sons on hand when the Brooklyn
pupils got off the school buses.
The youngsters, 9 to II years old,
were neatly dressed and in good
spirits. They did not appear to
be as self-conscious as they had
been on Monday.
Ten minutes after go Negro pu-
pills had entered Public School 81
in Glendale, two young men who
said they were college students
showed up carrying signs.
One placard read: "Dr. Theo-
bald Go Back To Queens College
And Take Sociology" CDR. John
J. Theobald, Superintendent of
Schools, was once president of
Queens College.) Another read:
Don't Let Politics Lower Our
Children's Education"
Policemen told the young men
that they could picket but that
they had to keep moving. After
several turns around the school
during which time they attracted
! little attention, the two ended their
demonstration.
The bomb scare was received al
P. S. 60 in Glendale. The school
with 561 pupils, was evacuated
The police searched the building
but found nothing.
Attendance at the five school:
was nearly normal yesterday
school officials said. On Monday
1880 white pupils of total white
enrolment of 1882 attended. Yes
terday, there ware 2,171 white stu
dent present, and the white enroll
ment had risen to 2,375.

south To its measured cadence. the 14s white
and -scarlet-clad members of the band and the
Drum and Bugle Corps marched single-1le onto
the field to stand in formation at parade rest
Twice more the bugle sounded before Marine
moved to the post hagpole centered to the east
and rang the traditional Navy timepece, bell, to
declare the hour, 8 pm.
On his departing heels came the mascot Of the
corps, a low-Slung juggernaut of a bulldog named
Chesty, leading another Marine by leash.
Chesty, fitting symbol of the corps, barking
back to World War days when Marines were known
as DevidogS, is only years old but is already
corporal, outrankng some of his human handlers.
While the parade continued, he obServed-and
occasionally dozed-in his customary spot, under
tree the reviewing stand opposite the hagpole.
Highlights of the program were brief concerts
by the band and the Drum and Bugle Corps, which
also executed SLOW March" that heightened COM
parsons with performances of London'S Coldstream
Guards.
A silent drill team whose maneuvers included
a rapid midair exchange of bayonet-capped rifles,
drew gaSps from awe-struck audience
Figuring throughout the program was the Corps
Color Guard, bearers not only of the National
Standard but of the official Marine Battle Color,
the only flag carrying streamers concentrating
all Marine campaigns and citations
In climax to the evening of music and march
ing, the barracks troops-three patoonS each from
the Institute and the Ceremonial Guards-passed
in review before visiting dgnitary. In rigid rows
their white-gloved hands swinging in time with
their strides they traversed the field in rhythmic
movement worthy of the finest watch.
When the review was completed, the colorS
we're marched off the field Chesty trotted home
and the troops and musicians filed back to quarters

beat of solitary drummer.
In the hush that followed, the field lights went
off, and the visitors arose slowly in the darkness,
reluctant to break the SPELL They left more quietly
than they came, mildly amazed to learn outside
that only hour had passed since the show began.
