Salem Students'
Injunction Renewal
Denied by Judge
Salem, Ore., Apr. S (U.R)
Circuit Judge Dal M. King of
Coos county has denied exten
sion or renewal of a temporary
injunction which has, kept 18
Salem high school boys in classes
since October 14 when they
were suspended for belonging to
a secret society.
The boys were suspended by
the school board on charges of
belonging to a secret society, il
legal under Oregon law, but they
remained in classes under a tem
porary injunction pending out
come of their case in court. They
contended that the group to
which they belonged was not
secret.
Judge King, who heard the
trial here last month, sent his
formal decree to Salem Tuesday.
It upholds the school board and
officials in their suspension ac
tion against the boys.
Boys Not In Classes
Since this week is spring vaca
tion, the boys are not now in
classes. Their attorneys, who
have served notice of appeal to
the Oregon supreme court, were
expected to ask the high court
for a temporary restraining or
der that would keep the boys in
school until final decision on the
case is reached. It was pointed
out that such an appeal might
not be decided before the end of
the school year. Most of the boys
are seniors, and could graduate
while the case is pending.
The boys belonged to a group
known as the ABC. They called
it the American Boys club, but
testimony brought out in the cir
cuit court trial here indicated
the group was affiliated with a
Portland society known as Al
pha Beta Chi.
