"the story is good for the
Navy"
The Navy information office
said it knew of no action taken
or contemplated against 1t.
Arnheiter.
1t. Arnheiter. one Of the few
officers Of the Naval Academy
class Of 1852 to be officially
designated by the Bureau Of
Naval Personnel as qualified
for command Of destroyers, ="
wrote that there is room for
grave doubt that the destroyer
forces Of the United States are
currently capable of disposing of
the Soviet submarine threat" !"
"The great majority of our
installed, on-board weapons
are presently inadequate to
deal effectively with aggressive
nuclear powered submarines, :"
he said.
DestrOyers Frustrated
1t. Arnheiter told of the
Illustration of destroyers which,
in war games, locate and track
,enemy nuclear-powered sub
marines at long ranges and
overtake the submarine, only
to find their weapons hope
leSsly inadequate" to deal with
the quarry.
1t. Arnheiter added that
Naval aviation and the sub
marine force rightfully, and for
years, have had a large claim
to Naval glory" and have often
received large appropriations
for new development and
growth.
Meanwhile. surface convoy
work has been relegated to COM
paratively low priority.
With current budget limita-
tions, the article said, it is very
doubtful ! that more than a
small percentage of the destroy
er force will have effective long
range attack weapons for many
months. The lack, 1t. Arnheit-
er said, would make it impos-
sible to control sea transporta-
ton in wartime.
Sees Defeat limited
1t. Arnheiter concluded:
This would invite our over
all defeat in the prosecution of
any war in which we might be
committed"
Cmdr. James, a father of
four, is from Seattle and Hoods
Canal, Wash. He said he plans
to seek civilian work in foreign
trade since he speaks Spanish,
Portuguese and Italian.

TOKYO. Feb. (AP) Red

action to the message.
The agency declared:

White Student
Transfers To
Segregated School

ATLANTA.-The Georgia Board
of Education overruled Atlanta of
ficials Monday and voted to allow
q white girl to transfer from a
high school which will accept three
Negro students this fall.
The state board by q vote of 7-2,
upheld a petition filed by the par
ents of Sandra Melkild, 16, that at
tending an intergrated school would
have a bad psychological effect"
on the girl.
Board member Francis Schurl-
ing, who cast one of the dissenting
votes, had argued the ruling could
lead to massive school Indignation
in Georgia. He said the decision
could bring wholesale requests
from other white students request
ing transfers from racially-mixed
schools.
Negroes, Schurling argued. could
also request such transfers to all
white schools through the courts
because of Mondays decision
Ten Negro 18th and 18th grade
students are to be admitted to
previously all-white schools in this
capital city. Miss Melkild, SEN
Tor, will be allowed to transfer
from Northside High School, which
will accept three Negroes, to
Dykes, which is not one of the
four schools to be integrated.
The Atlanta board of education
Monday night denied for the third
time the request of 33 more Ne
groes to transfer to white schools.
An attorney for the students said
he would appeal either to the fed
eral courts or the state board.

New Maps ToAid
Negro Travellers

Washington, d. c. - Following
up its "Big Step" to nationwide
marketing by uniting three great
organizations under a single name,
the American Oil Company has
placed the first % million new high
way maps in its service station
locations from coast to coast.
The maps, representing the larg-
est single order ever printed by
the nations leading map makers,
will prove extremely helpful to
the ever increasing number of
Negroes who travel by automobile.
Their use can be combined with
several current ravel guide publ
cations listing more than 5000
hotels and motels where Negroes
are welcomed. These guides also
list rates, eating facilities, enter
tainment spots, points of interest
for tours and general travelling
information.
In publishing the new map it
was necessary to make more than
rs, 1000 changes of existing maps
to reflect current road progress
and bring up-to-date information
to the motorist. Another $4,000
corrections were made to show cur
rent population changes.

cade of dramatic growth for high
way transportation and the new
maps feature a specially designed

venture and enjoyment to trips
