Urges ParochioI
Schools In South
To Deseoreunfe

20 ~ '@hANA IA L dCG ICld-
tions expert has urged that Cath
olic paroChial schools of the South
lead the way by desegregating be-
fore the public schools.
Benjamin Muse, former Virginia
state senator and now director of
the Southern Regional Councils
leadership project, said such action
would be in the public interest,
would offer a pilot project as well
as good example to public schools,
and would emphasize the moral
issues involved in desegregation.
This was one of several sugges-
tions Muse made in a report for
the National Catholic Conference
for Interracial Justice, Chicago. It
is published in the March 9 issue
of The Commonweal, "the weekly
journal of opinion edited by Cath
olic laymen"
AS proof that it can be done,
Muse cited the experience of the
dioces of Richmond Va, where
integration was announced and inn
plemented in 1854, the year of the
us. Supreme Court decision call
ing for desegregation of public
schools.
This demonstration of orderly
adjustment in parochial schools" "
Muse said, helped condition the
public for Virginia's later aband-
onment of massive resistance to
public school desegregation."
Muse also urged that parochial
schools be integrated without elab-
crate fanfare, publicity, or cam
paigns of preparation. Experience
in public schools, he said, has
proven that the best way to de-
segregate is simply to desegre-
gate"
Muse believes that desegregation
should be easier for parochial than
public schools because the former
have far fewer Negroes in rela-
ton to total school enrolment.
This should eliminate the fear of
mass integration" which has been
large emotional factor in some
public school situations.
In addition, Muse said, parochial
school administrators have far
more freedom from political inter-
ference and controversy than dc
public school officials. Parochial
schools are able to encourage toll
erance and interracial understand
ing in a manner forbidden in most
public schools of the South. The
close relation between the parish
church and school is another fav-
orable circumstance, Muse said
for the priest can speak directly
to parents and children affected
both at Mass and in his vista
tions.
Muse also touched upon the ques,
ton of voluntary transfers and the
different levels of accomplish.
ment for white and Negro students
in the same grades.
Although some adjustments may
have to be made, he said, he die
not believe that either of these
problems would be as great fol
parochial schools as for public
! schools.

ECdoOll, anu lld(l lllC duuGI lllIll
by two of the game super stars
The course d'entre was the
tenders in the Eastern Division
playoffs of the National Basket
ball Assn, and the last place
Packers, perhaps the most color
full tail end team ever to play in
the league.
Wilt, Bellamy Excel; Honored
The super stars were Wilt
Chamberlain, the MIA record
smasher, and Walt Bellamy, form
er Indiana university star whose
sensational play with the newly
organized Packers won him the
rookie-of-the-year award in every
body's poll.
The Warriors won the action
packed contest, 1918, but need
ed five minutes of overtime play
to do it. The statistics were not
entirely important, however
What the fans came to see was
the efforts of Chamberlain and
Bellamy to set two phenomenal
NBA records. Chamberlain sue
ceeded, while Bellamy failed by
narrow margin, but both won the
cheers and admiration of fans,
everyone of them poise and tense
as ringsiders at a heavyweight
title fight.
Chamberlain came into the game
needing only three points to be-
come the first player in the his
tory of the NBA to score 1000
points in a single season, a mere
couple of minutes work for the
big dipper. However, Wilt, who
only recently became the first
NBA player to score 100 points
in a single game, was in no hurry
to set the mark.
While the crowd hollered Give
it Cthe BALL to Chamberlain" the
7-foot-2 ace from Philadelphia in
tentionally passed off to his team
mates. He obviously was return
ing their kindness in aiding him
with passes to reach 1897 total.
He was particularly generous to
two teammates - Guy Rodgers
and Al Attles. The two had passed
up scoring opportunities to aid
Wilt in his 100 points effort.
Stops Game; HonOrs Chamberlain
1t was a fine bit of sportsman
ship by Chamberlain, but it was
beginning to get under the skin
of the impatient crowd. So, late
in the first period, Wilt poured
in the clincher, and fans went
wild.
At this point, officials called a
temporary halt in play to honor
Chamberlain. The crowd gave him
q standing ovation, and the game
ball was presented to him. Later,
there was a mild scramble at the
sideline as fans rushed forward in
an effort to examine the priced
trophy. 1t was wisely entrusted
to special guards.
Bellamy came into the game
wanting "A points to top Chamber
lain's rookie year total of $500
which still stands as an NBA re-
cord. It was a tremendously dif-
ficult undertaking, for Bellamy
had to concentrate on scoring as
we'll as guarding Wilt.
The big tan rookie failed by
just five points to hit the $500
mark, scoring a total of 38 points.
But for three missed layups how
ever, he would have made it.

AS Walt charged in for dunkers,
his chick wife, who maintained
a sideline seat all season long,
screamed encouragement. She was

With the death Of Frank w. Bra
den, at rs, a veteran and notable figure
in the fading era Of the greatest shows
on earth" has passed from the scene.
Mr.. Braden, unsurpassed master of
hyperbole and ALTERATION in carrying
on the traditions of P. T. Barnum and
his big-top successors, ballyhooed the
Barnum & ailey-Ringling Bros. cir
cuSes for more than a quarter Of a
century. That was when circusesswere
at the peak Of popularity and prosperity
when street parades Of calliope-paced
performers and pachyderms were rou-
tine and canvas-covered arenas were
the rule.
Frank left the Ringing show six
years ago, at time when it was being
modernized in ways that must have
baffled circus old-timers. Later he be-
came advance agent for the smaller
Cole Bros. & Clyde Beatty Circus. His
fondest memories, however, were Of the
old days with the Ringlings under the
canvas top -highlighted by his famous
feat Of planting midget in the lap
OF the late J. P. Morgan during a SEN
ate hearing in 1880. Only Braden would
have thought of this publicity ginmick,
or dared to carry It out.
