The commission estimated
the cost of the program, if all
United States railroads applied
and qualified for assistance to
help meet their passenger losses,
would not exceed $50 million

Schools Desegregotion
Starts QuietIyinAtIonto

ATLANTA, Aug. 80 (AP) -
Nine Negro pupils strolled into
classes in previously all-white
Atlanta schools today, and
watchful police nipped quickly
any hint of trouble.
Thus, the traditional school
segregation barriers-in force
in Georgia and Atlanta since
war time-tumbled, reluctantly
perhaps, but quietly. Total
public school segregation now
remains in only three Deep
South StateS-Alabama, Miss
isSippi and South Carolina.
At the first indication of any
trouble at the four high schools
being deSegregated under Fed
eral court orders, police moved
into action.
There was no major dis
turbance at any of the schools.
Eight persons were taken
into custody for failing to move
on. Five of the eight were
charged with diSorderly con-
duct by interfering with op-
Grafton of a school.
An hour before classes began,
police at Murphy High School
confiscated two signs urging a
boycott Of the schools. A man

yard nearby was ordered to re-
move it or be taken into Gus
tody. The sign came down.
City officials and police had
made elaborate plans to pre-
vent disorder and the opening
day started quietly. A long
campaign by civic groups, city
officials, educators and reli-
gious leaders for a peaceful
transition, paved the way for
the change.
School desegregation was the
signal for merchants to deSeg-
regate downtown lunch count
erS under an agree m e n t
reached several months ago.
Race extremists made last
minute efforts to arouse resist
ance to school desegregation
with a few boycott signs. Their
efforts had no effect on regis
tration which was reported
normal.

The commission made its

In its report today, the ICC

The commission described

they took the law into their

Trial of the eight demon

to do so, under a State law
aimed at preventing Sit-ins.
Maximum penalty is a year

BERLIN, Aug. 80 (AP).-A
United States Army sedan that
had been halted under the guns
of Communist police came out
of East Berlin today after
three American tanks and four
armored personnel carriers
rushed to the city's Iron Cur
tain border.
Col. Wayne Winder of Shera-
ton, Ill, Signaled the American
armor into position only 10
yards from the Friedrichstrasse
crossing point after word of
the cars plight was brought in
by Western bus driver. Tank
guns were trained on green

French officers reported that
the American sedan had been
held at the corner of Friedrich
Strasse and FranzoeSische-
about 600 yards from the
crossing point-under the guns
Of two Soviet-built L-52 armored
cars manned by East German
police.
All Aboard in Uniform
The sedan was driven by a
soldier in uniform and had
three passengers, also in uni
form. The senior occupant gave
his name as Capt. Wirth. He
declined to identify himself to
reporters at the crossing point
in more detail. He said he had
to report to his commander.
The right front window of
the car was cracked. Occupants
said it was hit by something,
but not a bullet"
The incident came a few
hours after another Communist
shooting. An East German
swan to freedom across the
Teltow Canal under a hail of
bullets from Red border guards.
He climbed out on the West
bank of the canal unhurt.

canal, whose center marks the

malls Of voting rights, and was
extended for two years in 1859
by a rider to an appropriation
bill.

mended by President Kennedy.
Failing in that, he said he will

H1O DE JANElRO, Brazil,
Aug. 80 (AP) .-Brazil'S three
military ministers today agreed
to accept Joao Goulart as a
figurehead President with a
Prime Minister to be appointed
by Congress until 1868, a gov
ernment source said.
The decision by the three
top military chiefs was reached
here and government source
said it already has been trans
mitted to BraSilia, the inland
capital.
If acceptable to Congress
and government political lead-l
ers in Brasilia, it might end
the serious crisis, which has
been rocking the country since
Janio QuadroS resigned a$
President last Friday.
Previously the three military
leaders had opposed having Mr..
Goulart even as a figurehead
President.
Unlike Congress Plan
The formula proposed by the
military chiefs considerably
differed from the recommended
tions presented to the Nationa'
Congress earlier today by 6
congressional committee.
The important difference is
that congress, rather than tho
President, would choose the
Prime Minister.
The Prime Minister woulc.
have the power to run the
country-the same powers pre-
viouS Brazilian Presidents have
held.
Mr.. Goulart would hold little
more than a decorative job.
Under the formula proposed
by the military chiefs-WaY
Minister Marshal Odylio Denys,
Navy Minister Admiral Silvio
Heckel and Air Minister Brig.
Grun Moss-Mr. Goulart and
Prime Minister would serve
until 1868.
Flying From Paris
Mr.. Coulart was en- route to
New York from Paris. 1t was
not known here where the left
iSt vice president and his ard
e1t supporters would accept
his being a mere figurehead.
The special session of con-
greSs ended in Brasilia at al
most the moment that the new
military prop osai was disclosed
here.
Congress debated the rec
ommendation from its commits
sion and adjourned without
reaching a decision.
When one Congressman was
told about the military pro-
posal, he exclaimed, I do not
believe it."
The deputy, Ulysses Gui-
a Social Democrat from
Sac Paulo, explained: The
military chiefs yesterday said
they would not accept Gou-
lartS' return to Brazil under
any conditions.
The activity of Gen. Ma
chado Lopez, commander of the
3rd Army in Southern Brazil,
apparently exercised a strong
on the military chiefs
decision.
Acting President Rainieri
Mazzilli issued a decree firing
the 3rd Army commander in
Brazil who had pledged to sup
port Mr.. Goulart. The decree
also sacked Cne commanders OF
an infantry division and a cav
airy division.
Issue Joined Directly
The congressional committee
openly took issue with the serv-
ice chiefs who fear that the
of the presidency by
Mr.. Goulart would, threaten the
security of the big subtropical
War Minister Odylio Denys
vent into urgent talks with his
jop officers at the Rio ministry
offices. Marshal Denys re-
