The Arlington School Board
has pledged that henceforth it
will hire and assign teachers
without regard to their race.
The board last night unani-
mously adopted a far-reaching
policy intended to eliminate all
forms of racial discrimination
from administration of county
schools.
The policy, a duplication of
one recently announced by the
County Board. "precludes race
as a consideration in any per-
sonnet actions"
It's experimentation doubtless
will result eventually in some
Negro instructors being put in
charge of classes composed
primarily Of white children.
Other Jobs Included

James G. Stockard said it also
will assure absolutely equal
treatment TO Negroes seeking
or engaged in work other than
teaching.
81 believe that this action
by our board is in keeping with
what is happening on the Ma
tional, international and even
the local scene" he said.
The decision last night was
not unexpected.
Earlier this year the board
agreed to abolish the county's
only all-Negro high school and
to distribute both pupils and
teachers from 1t among the
three white high schools in
Arlington.

Arlington Schools Drop

When the county board dis
closed that race was being
eliminated as a consideration
in the hiring, assignment and
promotion of county govern
ment personnel, it urged the
school board to commit itself
to a similar policy.
so Children Affected
After its public meeting last
night, the board convened in
closed session to consider what
it may have to do to comply
with a Supreme Court ruling
last Monday.
The court said pupils may
not be permitted to transfer
from one school to another
merely to avoid attending
classes in which their race
would be in the minority.
Arlington heretofore has
permitted students to make
such transfers If they or their
parents desired.
Mr.. Stockard said 1t appears
that about 80 children will be
affected next fall If the
county abandons this practice.
A few white students may have
to be put in Negro schools.
Between so and so colored chill
dren who have chosen to re-
main in Negro schools may
have to be shifted 10 white
schools nearer their homes.
However. the board is delay
ing any action regarding such
changes until 1t receives legal
advice.

LEXINGTON, N. c., June Z

this textile town last night and
one white man was killed and
another wounded after Negroes
tried to desegregate cafes, a
theater and a bowling alley.

a crowd of about 1000 white
men and 100 Negroes began dis
persing. They had been facing
each other across a street and
tossing rocks, bottles and sticks
at each other. Several persons
were injured.
Authorities sped the scat
tering of the crowds with fire
hoses.
All available officers have
been called to duty today, in
Guiding about 20 State troopers.
Municipal officials said they
will ask for National Guards

during the day.
Seven young Negroes were
arrested today on open charges
in the aftermath of the riot.
Lexington city officials went
into conference this morning

other side Of the street.
Police said the two groups
threw rocks, bottles and sticks
at each other. Some of the
bottles were filled with gasoline.
A Negro girl was struck in
the head by a rock. Police cars
were pelted with rocks and bot
ties. Windows were broken in
a nearby Negro church.

While the choir sang the

summer as the first batch

Total employment was up /
