Schools to Study
Records System

The Arlington County School
Board last night decided to
study the question of including
a data processing program for
keeping school records and
programming courses for prom
lsing high school students.
Board m e m bers approved
Supt. Ray E. Reid's recommen-
dation to appoint a five-mem-
Der study committee but de-
ferred the appointments.
Mr.. Reid said data processing
should not be overlooked If the
board wants to provide students
with newest developments in
education.
The board reiterated its policy
OF allowing parental groups to
hold dances for their children
in county junior high schools

CRISIS PRINCIPALS
Meredith Tells Aim,
Barnett in No Doubt
Gov. Burnett

~ aNSNA
JACKSON, Miss, Sept. 81
(AP) The big man, his spare
ness giving no clue to his Ga
years. relaxed for a time last
night in hot. sudsy water in his
bathroom. Then he went to
bed and slept.
The mans name Is Ross
Robert Barnett, and this was
the second time during the day
ne had been in hot water. The
first was when, as Governor Of
Mississippi, he courted Fed
eral contempt citation by re-
fusing to admit James H. Mere.
dith, q Negro. to the University
Of Mississippi.
Apparently. there are no
doubts in the mind of Gov.
Barnett about his head-on
crash with the Federal Govern
This unwavering course
may well have been sealed 100
years ago.
That's when two Confederate
soldiers came home to Missis-
sippi, their fighting done. One /
was John Henry Barnett. Ross
Barnett's grandfather; the 9TH
er John william Barnett. his
father. Their discussions in the
after years shaped the thinking
of Mississippi's SD Governor.
State sovereignty, segregation
Of the races, the proudness Of
prewar MlssisSippi-these grew
nearly sacred to him in con-
cept.
Office Open TO All
He's a friendly man. Just
kick open the door and ask for
ol' Ross" he told campaign
audiences. A lot of farmer
friends took him at his word
during his first few weeks in
office. Anyone who would stand
and wait saw the Governor of
Mississippi.
Even the middle-aged Negro
whose wife had died rated q
nighttime session to tell his
story and receive a donation
for funeral expenses, !,
Gov. Barnett always had a
high regard for a dollar, dating
to his youth when he worked
as a field hand at six cents an
hour. picked cotton, cleared
land and worked as a school,
house janitor. He was the
youngest of 10 children.
After he prospered as a dam
age suit lawyer, he built a
modern office building but kept
his own office on the second
story of an older building.
A friend asked why he didn't
move to his own building. Gov.
Barnett replied in a confidential
tone: The rents too high"
Studies In Wee HOur
He often awakens at 2 am.
and reads or studies until |
breakfast. Some feel the brevity |
Of his sleep is caused by his
liking for three pillows on each
side Of his bed.
A year or so ago he awoke
In the mansion to find a.
painter crawling out his win
dow. The painter had known
Gov. Barnett most of his life
and saw nothing wrong In a |
trip through the gubernatoriaiI
bedroom to reach a second
story scaIIold. Neither did Gov.
Barnett.
In this man, q self styled
vigorous segregationist, rests
the enigma often found by
the Northerner in the South
erner. Two summers ago a man
who has no particular ties to
Gov. Barnett reported this
vignette:
Under the hot August sun a
tall white man played in a
game OF catch with two small
Negro boys. The three tossed
the ball in a tenant farmers
front yard on an obscure coun-
try road. The game went on
Tor a long time while the
mans chauffeur stood by.
The man was Ross Barnett.

Demands U.S Economic Sanctions

NEW YORK. - The United

mttce on Afria today.
The South Africa issue is sym.
bolic of the last and the greatest
struggle for freedom and equality
in Africa. II the US can take the
leadership in ending the reign
of apartheid, it will be the great.
est possible step toward establish,
ing the US as the champion ci

document, South African Crisis

This years spsrtheid debate
has already started at the
United Nations. In last years
debates, the US eensured South
Africa for her rseist policies but
opposed the imposition Of san
ctions and boyeoits.
The American Committee on
Africa bases its case for san
tions on the fact that the apart
held government is steadily
growing in strength internally
because it has met so little cx-
tcrnal opposition. American
capital investments in South
