Issue Will
Be Decided
By Voters

A petition drive that will
force to a public referen-
dunn the question of whether
county School Board MEM
bers should be nominated in
a primary has been sue
cessfully completed, it was
announced this week.
At present, School Board
members file only in general
elections. County Republicans
carrying out a campaign pledge,
last year had enacted into law
a measure requiring all School
Board candidates to run first in
a primary election with the two
winners for each seat then com.
peting in the general election.
A drive for petition sigma
lures of at least 10,150 county
voters forcing the issue to ref
erendum in November, 1864.
was led by the Montgomery
County Council of Parent
Teacher Associations.
MCCPTA President Willard
Cass revealed this week that
well over the required number
Of signatures had been OBJ
tained.
This means, he pointed out,
that the three School Board
members who are elected IN
1864 will be selected In next
years general election with the
COPS primary bill being put on
the shelf until the voters ap-
prove or disapprove 1t next
year.
MCCPTA was joined In the
drive by the American Associa.
Ton Of University Women, the
Committee for Public Schools,
the Allied Civic Group, and the
Montgomery County Civic Fed.
GRAFTON.
Opponents Of the COP plan
have contended the move
would tend to move the edu.
cation of our children into the
political arena"
Supporters of the move say
required nomination OF two
candidates for each seat In a
primary would assure electicx
of one Of them in the general
alentlcn by a majority of votes
cast, rather than by mere plural
ity which has happened when
there were three or more candi-
dates for the same seat.
Delaying the effective date Of
the school primary bill will allow
time now "fOr q careful study
Of the method Of electing School
Board members in Montgomery
County," Cass said.
He announced that a study
committee, countrywide In rep
RESERVATION, will now be estab-
lshed by MCCPTA for pur-
poses Of such q study. He said
"a respected and impartial
county leader will be asked to
chair the group"

has made elaborate prepara-
tons to receive Mr.. Kennedy.
Banners Of welcome were
stretched across the streets he
will pass in the Bonn AIRED.
Special posters went up, with
the pictures Of the President,
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer,
and his expected successor,
Ludwig Erhard.

takes him through an indus

On the eve Of the arrival, a
handful Of men and youths
with anti-war banners marched
through Bonn. They virtually
were ignored by shoppers. The
group marched silently down a

at an intersection.
Mr.. Adenauer said In q tele-.

Kennedy leaves Germany he
will take with him the convic-
ton that there are CLOSE ties
Of friendship between Germany

told West Germans that the

help Germany after the coll

It also cuts off the few remain

In addition to the dead zone
at the 25-mile Berlin wall, the
East Germans imposed another

The East German news

Several leaders then said
demonstrations are needed and

consensus was that President
Kennedy and the leaders un-

All attempts to negotiate an
end TO the racial crisis here
abruptly collapsed In failure
today Just as they seemed
about to succeed.
Prospects of any immediate
settlement vanished when Ne
gro leaders Unexpectedly re-
jected a proposed agreement
which the mayor and city
council twice had been assured
they would accept.
At a meeting tonight, Ne
groes we're told to be ready To
demonstrate "ontwo or three
hours notice"
Meanwhile, another battal-
ion of troops was ordered to
reinforce the 400 soldiers al
ready here to keep the city
under virtual martial law.
The crisis has worsened even
though the Justice Department
and the administration Of Gov
Tawes have done everything
they could think Of in the past
few days to resolve it.

Concessions Granted

OOhACCSoAyAAS OhehSOa
Officials in Washington,
Annapolis and here had an
ticipated that it would be re-
solved today.
The City Council Thursday
night agreed to amend the
town charter with a public
accommodations statute re-
curing restaurants to serve
all customers regardless OF
race.
other concessions were to
include full school desegrega-
ton, construction Of an in
tegrated public housing project
and creation of a special COM
mission to mediate racial dis
putes.
However, even though the
council approved it, there was
no certainty that the public
accommodations a amen d ment
ever would become law.
For it could have been
blocked in a popular referen-
dunn which would have to be
scheduled if 20 per cent of the
registered voters petitioned for
it.
Negroes Reject Settlement
Nevertheless, according to
Gov. Tawes' aide, Edmund c.
Mester. Negro leaders during a
conference at the Justice De-
partment yesterday agreed to
the councils proposal.
Mr.. Mester, who has guided
negotiations ever since he and
Attorney General Kennedy
helped revive them last Tues
day, said that at 6 pm. and at
IL pm. Friday the Negroes as
sured him they were ready to
proceed with the agreement.
During the last conversation,
they insisted that the Chamber
Of Commerce publicly announce
its support Of the agreement
The chamber directors did that
early today.
However. Mr.. Mester reported
that at 1920 am. Philip Savage
of the NAACP informed hin
that during the night the Negro
leadership unanimously hac
decided to refuse the settle
ment.

Negotiations at Standstill
Mr.. Mester, who has tried
to act as an impartial media
tor, said:
II think the Mayor and
council proposal was a fair,
generous one. AS far as I'm
concerned, they went as far
as they legally could go. 1t was
my opinion that it should have
been accepted by the Negro
leadership"
He indicated that Gov.
Tawes shared this opinion.
Detected and fatigued, Mr..
Mester left Cambridge this
afternoon, saying that he had
mo further role to play"
At the moment, there are no
known plans by anyone to re-
sumo negotiations.
The council last week end
offered to enact a public ac-
commodations statute in the
form of an ordinance, which
would not have been subjected
to referendum.

Race Crisis Negotiation
CoIIopsesin Cambridge

Neither Mr.. Savage nor
other Negro leaders were avail
able for comment this after
noon.
However. the Cambridge
Nom Violent Action Committee
issued a statement which said
of the plan to adopt an accom-
modations law by charter
amendment:
I'VE reject this plan because
the human rights Of any citi-
zen. regardless Of race, cannot
be decided by public vote. d.
Thus, the referendum would
have served only as a vote Of
confidence in the status quo
and the 90-day cessation Of
demonstrations would have
been in vain. :"
In the statement, Mrs. Glo-
ria Richardson, a committee
director, urged restaurant
proprietors to meet with Ne
groes to arrange a procedure
for voluntary desegregation,
which most of the owners
heretofore have refused.
She also called on city off,
Gals to demonstrate their
good faith and good will by
implementing the two pro-
posals" for public housing and
appointment of a biracial
committee.
