Such an order came last week.
A US. Court Of Appeals in New
Orleans said the combined city
county school system here must
start desegregation this fall at the
hrst-grade level. The decision has
spurred the parents group to re-
double its efforts. Called ABLE
(A1abamians Behind Local Educa-
tion), it currently has some $50
members, but in the weeks ahead
1t hopes to recruit at least 10 times
that number Of supporters.
I'VE don't want to argue the
relative merits Of segregation or
desegregation," says Mrs. Hollis
Wiseman, a pedatrician's wife who
is president Of ABLE. But we be-
Heve that each Of US has an In
dvidual responsibility to let offic-
ial local leadership and our fellow
citizens know that we stand on the
side Of law, order and public
schools"

Adjusting To Change

ABLE's effort to bring about
orderly degeneration Of the
schools here is only the most re-
cent in a series Of quiet moves to
maintain racial peace in this old
and easy-going port. The calming
moves do not reflect an eagerness
for Indignation on the part Of
Mobile whites; most white resi-
dents clearly would prefer to re-
tain segregation in schools and In
other areas Of life. But at the
same time this Deep South city, a
third Of whose $4,000 residents
are Negroes, has shown a willing
ness TO adjust to change. While

In a sharply Worded state

thwarted the rights of those
members who opposed the bill
and had acted like the Com

The Virgiman said he was
shocked that a Congressional
committee would take such
arbitrary. haSty and ll-consid-

He asserted that the Commit

Tragic Death 80.

At this time of national tragedy it is difficult to eX-
press appropriate words feelings Regardless OF po-
tica beliefs religious enets racial feelings, the horror
of last Friday felt in every American home.
The nation shocked and Mortified to hear of the un
warranted and tragic shooting of President Kennedy No
deserves such fate.
This newspaper has not agreed with all political pro-
grams late President and often voiced criticism of
much of his proposed legislation yet there the highest
regard for him a patriotic American and leader
Much has been written about this man since the as
There is deep sympathy his family and feeling of guilt
the American people who have witnessed such action IN
our land.
AS one person has remarked president Kennedy was
kindly, compassionate understanding of intelligence
and ability He served his country well in time of strife and
proved his courage only in the backgrounds but in the
legislative halls He has been friend of the oppressed the
free the underpriVleged His sudden and tragic death
shocks and saddens the people of the United States
This should have been possible in this coun-
try.
Mrs Kennedy has shown compOsure and stamina, be-
fitting Presidents wife She stood with her husband to the
end by side of Lyndon Johnson he sworn n and
through the long and rigorous ordeal prior to his burial she
acted in manner that gives the American people pride.
The new President has best wishes for successful
conclusion to his term He became the head Of government
on in an orderly and dgned way bound closer by tragedy
AS an editorial in The Sun has expressed it, I'VE strick
