Each year during this span Of

For many years the wrestling
promoters and the wrestlers would
take an extended vacation during
the summer months. And after
working four and five nights q
week the boys in the game were
happy that June would arrive 50
that they could spend the summer
with their families.
But not this year. All over the
country from coast to coast the
game has been meeting with great
success.
They are hard working folks
and line people in the show tradi-
tion-"the show must go on"-6or
the cash customers.

was only $40. =.

Jon Big LeogueTs
Insist On Removed OF
Jim Crow Practices

Boston (AlNP) - One OF the
afterm&ths Of the An-Star base
ball game here last week was q
meeting Of the major league play
or representatives. with the ques-
ton Of segregation one Of the most
important topics.
The views Of tan players were
expressed by BIZ White, hitting
and base-running star Of the all
star contest which ended in q l.
toll tie when rain interrupted after
the ninth inning, and Bin Bruton,
Detroit Tigers outfielder.
Bruton had been invited to the
meeting by Bob Friend, Of the
Pittsburgh Pirates. White, first
baseman for the st. Louis Cardin-
ais, Is one Of the most eloquent
spokesman among the tan per-
formers.
In the end, the players voted to
send a letter to owners urging
them to take steps to eliminate
the training camp segregation,
which primarily affects the trans
in Florida.
Az White apd Bruton outlined
the situation to their white count
erparts, 1t was this:
I'VE have TO sit In a bus and eat
sandwiches, while our teammates
go in q hotel and eat steaks.
I'VE don't need to sleep In the
same hotels as our teammates, but
we'd like to have the privilege of
making the choice"
They pointed out that segrega-
ton Is especially acute when the
players were on trips. ranging
from 40 TO 200 miles. Usually the
trip is by bus. On reaching the
city where the game is scheduled,
the visiting team-before going to
the field has lunch.
The tan players have to stay in
the bus while the bat-boys get
them sandwiches from drugstores.
The question Of segregation
arose last winter when Negro lead
ers in Florida demanded that ma
jor league owners do something
about lowering the color bars in
Florida hotels. The only place
where there was any relaxation
Of social traditions was in Miami.

carry traffic one way and
would underpass Wilson boule-

Governments action as a po-
litical issue.
This was indicated by the
rapidity with which Senator
Byrd, head of the States most
powerful political organization,
reacted. He branded it an "in-
temperate and ruthless action. "
His son, State Senator Harry
F. Byrd, jr., of Winchester said
the proposal was mot only fam
tastic but foolhardy."
Punitive Motive Seen
The senior Senator Byrd was
the architect of Virginia's now
defunct massive resistance pro-
gram which called for auto
matte closing of schools that
were integrated by court order.
The junior State Senator Byrd
was a leader in getting those
laws enacted by the General
Assembly.
Senator Byrd said the move
was an effort Ito punish an
entire State because the action
of one county displeases" Mr..
Kennedy. He pointed out it
could deprive all of Virginia's S
BAT 900 white and Negro school
children of classes.

to force reopening Of public
schools in the central Virginia
county.
The move also seeks to re-
strain Virginia from spending
public funds for public schools
anywhere until Prince Edward
schools-closed for two years
are reopened.
The consensus of nearly every
State political figure is that
this action is playing into the
hands of the Byrd organiza-
ton, whose leaders opposed
President Kennedy's election
last fall.

Area Educators Back
12-Month Work POLICY

The Montgomery County
Education Conference recon-
mended yesterday that all
teachers be given the oppor-
tunity to work on a 12-month
basis.
The recommendation wa S
among the most controversial
presented at the two-day con-
ference at Robert Peary High
School in Rockville which was
attended by TAO teachers and
laymen.
A conference committee sug-
gested that an additional three
months of employment in the
schools could be used profit
ably for in-service training
and activities. Other econ
omy-minded groups in the
county, however, are known to
oppose such a proposal.
Elliot Pierce. general chair
man of the annual con-
ference, promised to present
the recommendation to the
school board for consideration
within the next few weeks. The
conference was divided into
work groups to draw up recon-
mendations for school board
consideration.
Other proposals included a
suggested campaign to improve
the quality of general tele-
vision programs, speed read
ing courses for teachers and
increased use of local special
lists, especially scientists, in
class work.
One work group recon-
mended that "the very compe-
tent school teacher should be
able to rise in status and COM
pensation without necessarily
obtaining a higher degree.
Conferees also recommended
that the school system deal
with the perpetual problem ot
teacher recruitment in part by
sending young teachers back
to their alma matters in search
