the University OF Alabama at
University, Ala, and Auburn univ
ersity at Auburn, Ala.
He said the decision to try to
integrate the University of Ala
bama and Auburn university was
made during the joint-meeting of
Southern Christian Leadership
conference officials and leaders of
the Alabama Christian Movement,
headed by the Rev. Fred L. Shut
Ellsworth.
1T is unfortunate that no Ne
gro students now attend Ala
bama," DR.. King said, because a
district court order extending back
to 1856 ordered the doors of the
university opened to Negroes"
He was referring to the case in
volving Autherine ]. Lucy now
Mrs. Hugh L. Foster. The former
Miss Lucy, who married a Tyler,
Tex, minister in April, 1856, was
the first Negro to attend the
University of Alabama.
She was forced out of the univ
ersity after rioting broke out in
the spring of 1866. She was first
suspended and then on Feb. 20,
she was expelled on grounds she
had made false charges against
university officials.
On the same day the expulsion
took place, Federal Judge Harlan
Hobart Grooms ruled in Birming-
ham that the school did not defy
/ the court order suspending the
student because they had acted
in good faith" for her safety and
the safety of others.
The former Miss Lucy and Mrs.
Polly Ann (Myers) Hudson, also
a Negro, were first granted the
right to attend the university in
a federal court ruling on Oct. 10,
1865. Mrs. Hudson was notified
that here application had been
turned down on the orders Of the
board Of trustees ION the ground
that the evidence before the board
shows her conduct and marital
record have been such she does not
meet the admissions standard of
the university"
Mrs. Foster was finally expelled
after she was accused Of charging
that college officials conspired in
riots which greeted her appear
ance on the Alabama campus.
DIR. King, formerly Of Montgom-
cry, Ala, and now a resident Of
Atlanta, said the primary purpose
of the Birmingham convention was

Referring to Birmingham as

It might be noted that other

CAMP OF ALL SAINTS. BY
Tadeusz Nowakowski. (St.
Martins; $4.95)
The Camp Of All Saints is
in a small German town near
the Dutch border. It's inhab-
itants are Polish displaced
persons who have spent the
two years since Liberation
Day waiting, in various de-
grees of despair, for visas to
anywhere. From time to time
an UNRRA official appears
and gives the camp q pep
talk on the advantage Of re-
turning to Poland. A seventy
pound free food parcel is Of
fered as an inducement. But
their own country, which
they love with fierce Polish
intensity, is the one place
they refuse to go. ("Ask Mr.,
Thompson" one Of the more
vocal inmates shouts al
the interpreter, whether HI
would return to America Il
the Japanese had occupied
his Salt Lake City?")
The unremitting tedium OF
life is shattered one day by
the news that the schoolmas-
ter, Stefan Grzegorczyk, a
hero of the Warsaw uprising,
has left camp and married
a German girl. This is a
shocking piece of intelli-
gence, for the one common
denominator Of camp life is
hatred for the Germans. But
there is more to Stefan's
marriage than anyone in
camp realizes, and in the
evocation of a troubled past
from a hopeless present, the
author achieves an effective,
if wholly depressing. narra-
tive.
Like his hero, Mr.. Nova
kowski was once a school
master in a camp for dis
placed persons. This is his
fourth novel, and the first
novel by any Polish author
to be awarded a major Ger
