Caroline Suit
BY Negroes
ReinStuted

RICHMOND, Dec. 7 (AP).-
A Federal appeals court ruled
today that an attempt by AZ
Negro children TO enter all
white public schools in Claren-
don County, s. c., is o class
action" This had the effect
Of revitalizing the suit.
The ,three-man appeals, court
reversed q Judge who had ruled
all the names and allegations
stricken except that Of Bobby
Brunson. Because the Brun-
son youth already has been
graduated, the lower court
ruling would have the effect
of making the suit meaning
less.
Today's ruling by the Fourth
Circuit Court Of Appeals sit
ting in Richmond reversed a
decision by District Judge C. C..
Wyche of the Western South
Carolina District.
South Carolina is the only
State which hasn't let down
public school racial bars in any
degree. However, four other
suits are pending, two by Negro
college students seeking to
enter all-white colleges.

Arlington Given Ideas
On Improving Schools

The Arlington School Board
last night heard citizens and
spokesman for civic organiza-
tons praise the county's edu-
cation system but suggest how
they think 1t can be made
better.
Board members thought that
in contrast to demands voiced
in recent years, most of the
recommendations last night
we're comparatively moderate,
specific and based upon con-
siderable research. 81
Proposals TO raise teachers
salaries, relieve instructors of
extraneous paper work and abol-
ish summer school tuition were

among those most often made.
PTA representatives also as
serted that something should
be done to correct overcrowded
conditions at three Of the
county's high schools. Mrs.
Dorothy T. Rowsey. vice presi-
dent Of the Wakefield PTA,
reported that school will have
2,400 students next year, al
though 1t is designed to &C
commodate only 2.025.
She said one reason for the
excess of students is that
fewer pupils are dropping out
of classes.
Kenneth Haynes said that
Yorktown High School, Arling-
tons newest, now has l,575
pupils although it was built for
only 1,400.
Two of the most eloquent
appeals we're made by Elaine
Christensen and Patti Van
Tuyl, eighth-grade children,
who pleaded for more shower
and locker space at Swanson
Junior High School.

our shower room to show you

Frank APPEL, Of the Arlington
Apartment Owners Association.
said he and his colleagues
realized they have prospered in
part because of "the entire
climate Of the community" to
which good schools have con-
tributed.
However, he argued against
further across-the-board pay
raises, contending that al
though teachers should receive
a professional salary. they
should not automatically get a
raise merely because they have
been around another year.
Mr.. APPEL also suggested that
capital improvement ts be
financed through bond issues
rather than from current
budgets.
Chairman James Stockard
told the citizens that in pre-
pairing his next budget. the
school board will be Gin the
position of trying to make
progress but Of not going too
far ahead of what the COM
immunity is willing to pay for"

there is no evidence that the

the United States Government
any money. There have been
improprieties. The amount of
money in this case, as came out
