The Durham, N.C., school board voted Friday night to admit eight Negro students to four previously all-white schools next Wednesday. The city thus became the seventh North Carolina community ' to adopt limited public scool inte gration. In Norfolk. Va., Federal Judge Walter E. Hoffman ordered that four Negroes be admitted to white schools in the. port city, thus over riding a ruling by Virginia's con troversial state pupil placement board, which has the power to as sign all students to schools in the state. SO Negroes Ta Attend The decision by the Durham school board means that some SO Negro students will attend pre viously all-white schools as North Carolina moves into its third year of token integration.

The city school board has been ordered to submit a plan of desegregation by Dec. 1. A showing of a motion picture film with a controversial racial angle was halted abruptly Friday night at a drive-in theater near Fayetteville. Ga., because the sheriff feared there might be trou ble between Negroes and whites. The film was "The World, The Flesh and the Devil."

SCOTLAND YARD U.S. G-AAen Also Guard Eisenhower In Britain LONDON (UPIi The White House attempted today to erase British fears that U.S. Secret Service agents protecting Presi dent Eisenhower were in some way usurping the dignified author ity of Scotland Yard.

WASHINGTON ITI'-A scien tific group has warned that many nations soon will be alile to build nuclear submarines which could launch "a devastating missile at tack against cities hundreds and even thousands of miles from the seacoast." "The probability will . become steadily grealer in the future,'' the scientists said, "that an in ternal ional mischief-maker will be able with impunity tu initiate a nuclear holocaust." In all likelihood, they said, the attacking submarine would es cape without even bein;; iden tified, and the attacked nation would not know who hit it. The warning was issued by the committee on Oceanography of the National Academy of Sciences in a report on iifternal ional co operation at sea. The report, just distributed, said "nations must (ind some way to live with the new threat of nuclear - powered submarines armed with long range weapons". The committee did not suggest what outlaw nations might some DIGNITY MIFFED have been given the authority to arrest British citizens. Some of the papers delight in calling the Secret Service agents, "G-men." or "FBI atents," and there has been widespread speculation about their operations on British soil. White House Press Secretary James C. IIa'4erty sought Friday to correct these impressions by saying at a news conference that once and for all, "The authority for the security of the President in Great Britain is Scotland Yard."

"And he is a fine football player." that at about the start of this century Congress passed a spec ial law creating the Secret Serv ice and specifically directing this agency of the federal government to see to the protection of the President and members of his family.

Government officials said after ward that as far as was known no Chinese troops were on Indian soil at the moment.

WEATHER Fair with variable high clouds through Sunday; high Sunday 77-83; low tonight 3U-44. Priea S Cents Wallowa Vote Rejects Plan For Schools WALLOWA (Special i-Voters in most of Wallowa County rejected a lone administrative board or ganization proposed recently by the county school reorganization committee. ( The proposition, however, car ried in Enterprise and the Pratt school districts but voters from Joseph, Lostine and Wa'lowa over whelmingly turned back the plan. Enterprise led balloting for the reorganization, 71 for and 17 against Pratt voted 14 for and two against. Joseph topped all voting with I!I7 against and 31 favoring the plan; Lostine was 95 against and nine in favor; and Wallowa reject ed the proposal by 120 to 19. It is believed that voters re jected the county-wide school ad ministration proposal because a . single county board could cause early abandonment of all the schools county-wide with the ex ception of a single school at Enter prise. Repeated assurance was given the voters to the contrary by the school reorganization com mittee. It was pointed out that undT the taw ell school districts not maintaining high schools will be forced to consolidate with dis tricts which do have such schools, and the obligation to develop some type of a school reorganization plan under such a slate law is necessary.
