Principal D. J. Brittain Jr. said he had warned the white students whom he did not identify, that they would be subject to stern dis ciplinary action if they caused further trouble. "These incidents are just part of a pattern of intimidation and harrassment against the Negro students that has been building up in the school during the past three weeks, Brittain declared. Clintpn admitted 12 Negroes along with 700' whites last August to become the first state-support ed secondary school in Tennessee to mix the races. The U.S. Dis trict Court at Knoxville, 20 miles southeast of here, ordered the in tegration following five years' liti gation. Brittain said the Negro girls were not hit by the eggs. The principal said one Negro boy came to his office and re ported that he had been contin ually harassed by a small group of white boys and was tired of being molested." He asked me what he should do. I told him he should do what ever be wanted to do. He and another Negro boy then left .the school."
