Integration on
Buses Peaceful
Negroes Calmly Take
Seals They Choose;
No Disorders
MONTGOMERY, Ala. W
Racial integration vn buses start
ed smoothly in Montgomery un
ity, bringing to a dramatic close
a tradition in public transportation
dating back for decades.
Negroes, some of whom had re
fused to ride segregated city buses
for more than a year as part of
a mass boycott movement, board
ed the buses calmly, taking seats
where they chose.
Under the segregated pattern,
Negroes were required to sit in the
rear, white passengers occupied
seats toward the front. Segrega
tion laws were knocked out by a
U.S. Supreme Court decision
which went into effect here
Thursday in this deep south city
of 120,000.
Some Negroes took front seats
Friday and white passengers sat
behind them.
There were no reports of vio
lence, but four carloads of white
men and others in a pickup truck
stayed close to a downtown bus
stop with the occupants paying
close attention to the historic
transition to integration.
One unidentified white man.
watching a Negro board a bus,
shouted to photographers, "Go
ahead and get that black
's picture." Negroes standing
nearby let the remark go unchal
lenged. They had been coached by
their leaders to refrain from vio
lence and to ignore such incidents.
Negro ministers rode the buses,
too, to set an example for their
people.

LONDON (UP) The Anclo

today. It had been held up pre
viously by Egyptian complaints
that the Allies allegedly took pris
oners out of Egypt.
The French hurriedly returned
lfiO Egyptian prisoners by liner
from Cyprus to Port Said today
and six Egyptian officers in Paris
were flown back to Egypt.
As a result, a train with 450
British civilians arrived in Port
Said from Egyptian internment
camps. Egyptian prisoners were
being returned south in the ex
change. The British returnees were to
embark immediately for home,
authorities said.
The work of removing 49
wrecked ships and two bridges is
to begin one day after the last
Anglo-French invasion troops leave
the Port Said area. Port Said dis

probably Saturday.
A hurried series of compromise

damage will delay the start-up of
an experimental atomic reactor!
which the Atomic Energy Com-1
mission says is among types hold
ing promise for economical pro
duction of electric power.
The ALC announced Friday that
microscopic cracks had been ob
served in the leak detector system
of the device, a kind of "atomic
slcwpot formally called the
homogeneous reactor experiment
No. 2," and located at the Oak
Ridge, Tcnn., ' National Labora
tory. There Is also some evidence of
similar damage to flangrs in the
high pressure system. The AEC
said the damage was observed
during preliminary testing of the
device without any atomic fuel
material in it.
A "homogeneous" reactor Is
one in which the atomic fuel is
mixed with a liquid "moderator"
In a monogeneou solution or su
spensionin effect, a kind of
atomic stew. The liquid serves
as a coolant.
It differs, for example, from a
reactor in which the fuel and thn
moderator are separated from
each other.
The commission's announce-
ment said the tiny cracking was
ascribed to stress corrosion,
and was believed to be the result
of contamination of stainless steel
tubing in the leak detector sys
tem. Under original plans, the reactor
was to have ' gone cruirar this
past November that is, it was to
have been supplied with sufficient
uranium fuel to produce an atom
