Ruling by New York Court UphoIds
Principle Espoused by President

the Blodnick proposal the
racial and ethnic composition
of the incoming class would
be 50 per cent Negro, "a per
cent Puerto Rican and IA per
cent white; whereas, under
the school zone finally APP
proved and adopted, the per-
centages would be 35.2 per
cent Negro. 1915 per cent
Puerto Rican and 31.2 per
cent white.
THAT racial balance was a
compelling factor for the re-
lection of the Blodnick pro-
posal and for the approval by
the board of the zone finally
adopted is clear.
LAS petitioners contend.
respondents (the school
board) rejected the Blodnick
proposal because they found
that it provided only IA per
cent white students; they
approved a plan which they
said would result in 31.2 per
cent white students; and,
because it would disturb the
racial balance set up by their
plan, they determined not to
transfer Negro and Puerto
Rican children from nearby
overcrowded Junior high
schools to the new under
utilized school. 1t must be
clear that the racial and
ethnic balance accomplish
ed by the movement of the
boundary of the new school
district southwest to East
93rd street was not fortui-
tous but was the result Of
a fixed purpose on respon-
dents part to bring more
white children into Junior
High School No. PTS.
1T is unnecessary to con-
slider whether respondents
determination was based, in
part, on factors other than
racial balance. Unquestion-
ably, racial composition or
balance was material to the
boards determination, and
is incapable Of separation
from the other factors al
legged to have been consider
ed. The question here to
be determined is whether de-
liberate inclusion Of the fac
tor of racial balance as a
material basis for the boards
determination renders that
determination unlawful. Ed
ucation Law, Section 1901
provides as follows

DAVID LAWRENCE
Barring Racial Quotas in School

"No person shall be re-
fused admission into or be
excluded from any public
school in the State of New
York on account of race,
creed, color or national orr
gin
The inclusion of petition
ers' children in the school
zone approved for Junior
High School No. 275, upon
the basis of their race, and
their consequent exclusion
from Junior High School
No. 285, their traditional
neighborhood school, and
from other schools to which
they might have been as
signed upon q lawful basis,
was violative of the spirit
and intent Of the statute.
1T is important also to
note that for every white
child required to attend
Junior High School No. 275,
some child of another race
or color will be denied ad-
mission. Thus Negro and
Puerto Rican children are de-
MED access to q new under
utilized school, because white
children, who do not need
a new school, are required
to attend.
Whatever may have been
the factors which impelled
its enactment, the statute,
by its very terms, proscribes
exclusion from public schools
of any child by reason Of
race, creed, color or national
origin"
Perhaps Southern States
will find that the New York
State law-which, in line
with decision of the Supreme
Court of the United States,
forbids discrimination in as
signment to any public school
by reason of race or color
or ethnic origin-offers a So
luton to them. The principle
is really in effect already in
many Northern States and
in the City of Washington.
Children are assigned to
schools in the neighborhoods
where they live, and de facto
segregation or token inte-
grafton occurs naturally in
schools located in districts
where whites or Negroes pre-
dominate in number. But
racially balanced Indignation
in public schools must be for
tuitous and not deliberate II
1t is to conform to the latest
court ruling.

ing the White House. Mrs.
Kennedy had many choices
and much advice, but she
chose a firm course of fol-
lowing her own best instincts.
She set out to do the things
she could do we'll for her
family and the White House
and to do them in her own
style and with people she
selected herself.
The zest and thoroughnesS
with which she plunged into
the task of refurbiShing the
White House we're the mark
of this spirit. Starting almost
on the first day of her resi-
dency, she sought out the
people who could give her the
knowledge that she needed,
then the people who could
find the things that she
needed, and finally the peo-
pie who would pay for them.
When the drive faltered,
she swallowed her shyness
and went before the tele-
vision cameras in an appear
ance that will long stand as
a classic in the medium.
When donors faltered, she
prodded them with charm
and persistence that mar
rowed their avenues of
escape. Her effort developed
a momentum that swiftly
transformed the White House
from simulated and mean
ingless elegance to gracious
and authentic dignity. She
created in less than three
years a priceless museum of
American treasures.
This same determination
to make the White House
reflect the best in American
life-waS applied to logged
and detailed assault on the
pomposity of official func-
tions. The effort did not
spring from any desire to
win fame as a hostess. 1t was

I clean forgot to tell you
what a jolly little rally we
had the other day to i'm
peach Earl Warren. Every
body who took part agreed
our Republic is in grave dan
ger and a good time was had
by all.
The rally was held in
Union Square and the little
park was filled with perhaps
500 persons. Of these, AZ
wished to impeach Justice
Warren, 81 were hecklers, IL
were tourists who happened
to be passing by and 400
were sitting in the sun not
listening.
What was heartwarming,
however, was the unanimity
of opinion between the AZ
impeachers and the 81
hecklers as to the peril our
Republic is in. The only
m jor disagreement being
from what.
The impeachers. Of course,
held that our Republic was
about to be overthrown at
any minute by Justice War
rem, Communists in general,
and Liberals like the 81
hecklers in particular. The
hecklers, on the other hand,
clearly felt our democracy
was being subverted by Radi-
cal Right groups like the
John Birch Society, to which

BIchers and Liberals Have Good Time
At an Impeoch Warren Rally

most Of the AZ impeachers
belonged.
Now, as you know, this de-
bate about who's going to
overthrow our Government
is raging everywhere these
days. So I listened carefully
to both sides and will try to
sum 1t up for you.
First of all, the basic po-
sition of the Liberals is that
the Right Wing is guilty of
terrible smear tactics and
awful wild charges. And
every Bircher is a traitor
who's plotting to seize power
and put us all in concentra-
ton camps. At the very least.
The Birchers deny this.
They are, they say, simply
for individual freedom and
the right of every man to do
as he pleaSeS. And why don't
these Beatnik Liberals shave
and take baths? Like good
Americans.
Frankly, I found it hard to
decide from these arguments
which side was going to
overthrow the Government
first. So I concentrated on the
conduct of the rally. To see
if I could detect revolution
in the air.
First a very young man
in a blue suit led us in the
Pledge of Allegiance and said
please do not litter the park.

Personality and Success of the First Lady
Keyed to Insistence on Being Herself
CHARLES BARTLETT

1t would be impossible, on
the 10th wedding anniver-
sary of President and Mrs.
Kennedy, to imagine any
state of life in which the
companionship of marriage
was more essential or any
wife more ideally suited to
this particular President.
An observer living among
politicians is struck by the
fact that the complexities
which confront all wives are
compounded for the wives of
politicians and doubly COM
pounded for the wife of a
politician who manages to
reach the White House.
The difference is that
the Observation-Disclosures be-
tween home and office which
is possible in private life
becomes exceedingly diff
cult in public life. No pri-
vate pursuit, however ambi-
tious, carries an involvement
for a wife that equals The
demands placed upon a
woman whose husband is
seeking or holding high po-
litical office. 1t is possible
to love a politician without
loving politics, but it is i'm
possible to marry one without
becoming part of his career.
Jacqueline Kennedy's
struggle to attain this COM
DECENTRALIZATION has been
the measure of her firm
ness and resourcefulness. A
President lives as much In
controversy as in the White
House and his private life
is a seclusion from the tenn
pest and a respite from the
presSures. Mrs. Kennedy's
greatest accomplishment has
been to maintain this refuge
and embelliSh it with the
variety, warmth and wit of
her own personality.

man gave a long, long, long
speech on why we should i'm
peach Justice Warren. Then,
as a closer, the young man
came back and earnestly told
all 70 impeacherS and heck
lerS: please try not to
dispense in a big crowd
that would cause traffic
problems"
So I asked a heckler If he
still thought the Birchers
were out to overthrow law
and order. And he said,
That's just the way they
talk in public"
Then asked a tourist
lady what she now thought
about impeaching Justice
Warren. And she said, why
do they pick on him? I al
ways think of him as Andy
Hardy's father. Why don't
they try to impeach some
body with a moustache?"
Lastly. I asked an old man
sitting in the sun who he
thought would overthrow the
Government. But he said he
hadn't been listening because
he didn't want to get in
volved in things like that.
So ] think our jolly little
Impeach Earl Warren Rally
kind of summed up the cur
rent national debate on sub
version. And I came away
agreeing with both sides: Our
Republic, like all republics
everywhere, is indeed In
danger.
But not, at the moment,
much.

has never supported such a
devastating policy. But China's
denials have never received as
much publicity as Mr.. Khru-
shchev's accusations.
Following Peking's decision
not to sign The partial nuclear
test-ban treaty, Mr.. Khru-
shchev'S words have received an
even more receptive audience
here.
There is a prevailing view
here. however, that China's re-
fusal was based less on mill
tary than on political consider
atoms.
Even with an about cam
paign, China is not expected to
be able to produce more than a
few crude bombs in the next
several years. And 1t still will
lack the means of delivering
the bomb.
China's leaders, who have
shown great reluctance to en-
gage in a war with the United
States, are not then expected
to enter into a nuclear dual
with the worlds strongest mill
tary power.
Instead, by boycotting the
treaty, China could remain
aloof from what 1t considers
Russia's wrong approach to the
world scene. BY having moth
ing to do with the treaty, China
now poses as the only true rep
resentative OF the exploited
masses" Russia is depicted in
the Chinese press as an ally Of
the imperialists.

This is just one example of how Legislators serve their consit-

WHAT IS disturbing about the local picture is the ati-
tude which points to a tendency to disregard public opinion.
That is always a danger signal and believe it or not, nothing
will cause more concern in official circles on the mainland
than legislative behavior which ~disregards the public it is
supposed to represent.
