Wilmington Is Decem-
Der 31st.

8 staff-prepared plan providing
for admission of Negro pupils to
all grades in Delaware schools
will be considered at State Board
of Education meeting December Is
it was decided recently
The deadline for submission of
such plan to the Federal Dis
trict Court in Wilmington is De-
cember 81. A ruling of the Court
of Appeals in Philadelphia struck
down the states grade-a-year des-
egation plan and established the

deadline.
AS reliminary to drawing up
the plan, the board originally had
decided to survey prospective
transfers of Negro pupils to white
schools. That plan has now been
dropped and the board is relying
on transfer estimate by school ad-
ministrators.
Members of the state board dis
cussed the desegration question
in an executive session last week.
In other business at the meet
ing, Paul M. Hodgson, assistant
state superintendent in charge of
vocational education, reported that
construction has started on the

BY Associofed Press

The personal income of Ameri-
cans rose slightly in October to a
record rate of $3.50, 100000 a
year despite sluggish business ac-

4 decline in the total wages paid
factory workers was shown by a
report issued last week by the
Commerce Department though
record production in the motor
industry brought bigger pay checks
to auto workers.
This dip was more than offset
by small gains in wages and SAL

A solid bloc of reputable
firms dealing in cosmetics,
brushes, acknowledgements cleo

unanimous protest against
the ordinance in its original
form. On the other hand, all of
the county's major civic groups
and the League of Women
Voters supported the ordinance.
Due largely to unified opposi-
ton, and partially because sup
port of the ordinance was evil
denced only in letters, and not
attendance at public hearing,
the council cut a provision from
the new law that would have
required finger-printing of all
applicants for a solicitors
