Two |. |. School Districts
Named In NAACP Petitions

NEW YORK. = The National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People has announc-
ed the filing of two petitions OF
appeal with DR.. James E. Allen,
Jr., New York State Commissioner
of Education, protesting segregat-
ed school conditions in Glen Cove,
L. l., and the Malverne-Lakevlew
section of Hampstead, l., |.
In Glen Cove the NAACP has
charged that the town is maintain
ing a segregated school system
and has deliberately gerrymander-
ed school zones to contain Negro
students.
The Association has further pro-
tested the proposed school reor-
ganization plan as being totally
inadequate. 1t has criticized the
arbitrary position of the Superin-
tendent of Schools and has called
/ for his dismissal.
The petition for Malverne-L Lake
view protests the racial imbalance
said to exist in the schools and
specifically charges the Board OF
Education with:
Refusing to follow recommended
tions for a new school location
which would have achieved integ-
ration;
Arbitrary refusal to change the
present school zoning plan and
Failure to equalize the educa-
tional standards of the predomi-
nantly Negro Woodfield Roa d
School with those of the towns
white schools.
The Commissioner was urged in
each appeal to implement his
declared policy that: within the
Department we will initiate care
full review of all policies and re-
gulations which can have an effect.
in the elimination of de facto seq
regation and unequal educational
opportunity. Where new policy or
procedures are called for, we will
adopt them, when revisions of pres
ent ways are necessary, we will
change"

The NAACP was forced to seek
redress through the Commissioners
of Education after the Plainfield
Board of Education had refused
to act on recommendations made
by a special Lay Citizens Advisory
Committee.
The Committee was formed in
June, 1861 at the Associations urg-
ing and in June of this year pro-
posed two alternate means of end
ing school segregation: rezoning
of the existing school districts or
reorganization of the schools under
the Princeton Plan"
At its regular meeting on July
II the Board disregarded the
Committees re com m n d a.
tions and sought instead to create
a plan of open enrolment in the
schools The plan was opposed
by the Committee and was COM
pletely unacceptable to the NAA-
CP.
In rejecting this recommends
tion, the NAACP. pointed out that
under the plan proposed by the
Board, the present segregation
and denial of equal educational
opportunities will become more
and more an entrenched pattern
of the school system" :"
In the petition to the Commits
sioner it was urged that irnmedi-
ate steps be taken to eliminate all
aspects of segregation in the Plain
field public school system.
Attorneys for the plaintiffs are
william Wright, Jr., of Plain
field, Herbert H. Tate of Newark,
NAACP General Counsel Robert
L. Carter and Barbara A. Morris,
both of New York City.

NAAcP Asks Govt.
For Aid In Research

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI. The
NAACP needs certain racial data
which can most efficiently be COM
piled by a governmental agency, .
a high official of the Association
said here.
Henry Lee Moon. director of
public relations for the AGO. 900
member organization said the in
formation is needed to help us
strike a mortal blow at the whole
structure of Jim Crow"
He addressed the 122nd annual
meeting of the American Statisti-
cal Association on Sept. 8 and
called for a host of facts reveal
ing the Socio-economic status OF
the Negro.
How many Negroes there are
in the country and in each Of the
states and subdivisions thereof;
their age and sex distribution; the
range of their income and what
occupations they follow.
Also. what industries and COM
panies employ them, in what po-
sitions and how many; how they
spend their money: what kind of
housing is available to them; in
what positions and how many, .
and the like.
ITO forego the collection and
use of such valuable information
would be to handicap immeasura-
bly, the struggle to rid the nation
of racial segregation he added.
Mr.. Moon also gave consider
able stress to the misues of racial
statistics and identification S
well as unobjective data gather
ing.
He noted that crime and Out-of-
wedlock births have been used,
with devastating effect by segrega-
tiOniStS. /.
The NAACP opposes the COM
pilation and publication of racial
ly classified data on crime and
illegitimate births because such
information sheds no significant
light on the causes.
1T also serves no useful purpose
in curbing these offenses, because
it is subject to distortion and mis-
representation. :"
He cited the fact that 1,5OO,0 900
illegal operations are performed
annually in this country. at a high
cost, and added that ''it may safe
ly be assumed that relatively few
Negroes can afford them.

JACKIE TAXES 4 DAY OFF IN LONDON

LONDON LR - Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy, reveling in doing nothing for a change, bought two smart hats Tuesday without stirring from the home of her sister near Buck inghan Palace.
 She slept late, handed out gifts to her brother -in-law, Prince Stan islaw Radziwill, and his two chil- dren, enjoyed a lunch of brook trout and caught up with newspaper accounts of her 17-day trip to Italy, India and Pakistan
 Jay Gildner, assistant White House press secretary. was buster. He briefed newsmen on the days activities of the First Lady, and explained how Mrs. Kennedy's Secret Service protection works. Reports in some London papers that Mrs. Kennedy was accom- panied by 20 "black-coated C. Men, were described by Gildner as totally erroneous"
 He said only one Secret Service agent accompanied her here, but more were used when she arrived last night because big crowds were expected.
 Other American sources said IT men guarded the First Lady when she arrived but Is were security officers from the US. Embassy. Scotland Yard took an amused view of such numbers. s'The idea
 of IT bloody security men is ridi-
 culous,' a Yard spokesman said.

|NBA President
 Says Boxing Must
 Not Be AnnihiIated

TACOMA t7 --- Dr. Charles P. Larson, president of the National Boxing Assn, said Tuesday that boxing, the only true international sport" must not be annihilated be- cause of the Benny Paret tragedy.
 The Tacoma pathologist noted that throughout the world the panic button has been pushed be- cause of the serious injury suffered by Paret in fight in New York with Emile Griffith for the world welterweight championship
 Boxing is sick, to be sure,' he said, but to kill the patient be- cause he is sick is certainly wrong. A major airplane crash uoes not call for condemnation of the whole industry.
 "A cure is possible with patience. hope we can now get along with the job to the end that the only true international sport is preserved from emotional annihiIation. Larson said the NBA welcomes "a thorough airing of the Paret situation in every possible forum" He also said the New York Athletic Commission should not be blamed for the incident.
 Tt would seem that the Paret l incident, while tragic to the fighter and his family, may have its com l pensating factors in terms of the future of boxing Larson said in his first statement since the Paret- Griffith fight Saturday. Throughout the world the panic
 button has been pushed. It has even been said that all of us con-
 nected with boxing are of ill re- ] pute.
 Undoubtedly. the easiest answer for all responsible agents of state
 athletic ai commissions and officers of the NBA would be to beat a nasty retreat in light of all this overpowering negative publicity" Larson noted, however, that only
 a month ago the Boxing Education
 and Research Foundation was in corporated to thoroughly study and
 arrive at solutions to the ills of boxing.
 l He said uniform safety code
 involving all aspects of health and
 safety for fighters has been given
 a top priority.
