Riotous Integration Experiment Ends
At Kentucky School as Negroes Withdraw
Br UNITED PRTSS
A ihort lived and riotous ex
periment in integrating a high
school in Sturgis. Ky.. ended to
day amidst the cheer of a white
crowd that gathered to witness
the return to trict segregation
of the school.
In Washington, an all-Southern
Congressional investigation
into integration of public
schools in the nation's capital
got under way today. The two
Northern members of the House
subcommittee making the study
failed to show up for its begin
ning. Eight Negro children came to
school at Sturgis as they have
for two weeks under protective
custody of National Guard or
State Police. Today's arrival
was different. They were met by
Superintendent Carlos Oakley
who read them an order from
the school board saying the Ne
groes were attending that school
illegally.
Negro.a Leav. Quietly
The Negroes, who had been
escorted to the school by Lt.
Col. Clarence C. Burcb of the
Kentucky National Guard and
two other guardsmen, left quiet
ly by automobile.
As their car moved slowly
through the crowd, a middle
aged woman ran close behind
beating on the trunk with her
fists. Another woman cried out
to the Negroes: "Don't you ever
try that no more."
Nearby Clay. Ky., set the pat
tern for the Sturgis action by
barring four Negroes on grounds
the school board had not ap
proved the integration.
A crowd of more than 200 as-'
sembled in a cold, drizzling rain
to see whether the same plan
would work at Sturgis. It did,
although there was a chance
Speed-Up of Highway
Construction Urged;
Oregon Projects Set
Salem (U.R) The Oregon
highway department this month
will launch more than S6 mil
lion in highway construction
projects, some of them to be
built on the ultra-modern scale
of the federal interstate highway
program.
When the highway commis
sion meets in Portland Sept. 27
and 28 it will call for bids for
the Ford's Bridge-Canyonville
unit of relocated Highway 99. It
will be designed to the latest
standards of four-lane construc
tion on the interstate system of
highways with opposing traffic
lanes separated by a 50-foot wide
median area.
Twin Bridges
Major features of the big pro
ject will be twin 588-foot con
crete and steel bridges over the
South Umpqua river at Missouri
Bottom and twin 144-foot via
ducts over Irwin road.
Parts of Highway 30 at the
Emigrant Hill-Deadman's Pass
section in Umatilla county will
also be reconstructed according
to standards of the new federal
highway system, four lanes with
an eight-foot median strip.
CAT BURNS DOWN BARN

Pittsburgh (U.R) Speed-up
of the nation's road building
program from 20 to 10 years
could save 200. 000 lives, accord
ing to a report to the American
Automobile Association.
Glenn C. Richards, commis
sioner of public works ' at De
troit, Mich., asserted the super
roads . would drastically reduce
the number of traffic accidents
and highway fatalities. He also
said better local roads would
permit working men in the city
to get home for evening meals
without the worries of being
late.
Developments Explored
Richards participated in a
panel which explored the de
velopments stemming from the
$33 billion federal highway pro
gram enacted at the last session
of Congress. The parrel featured
activities Tuesday at the AAA's
54th annual meeting.
Keith L. Seegmiller, execu
tive secretary of the Association
of County Officials, urged the
motor club representatives to
"look into their- county court
houses" in their quest for better
roads.
"One of the soundest Invest
ments that can be made by the
American motorist today , is an
effort to obtain improved ad
ministration. It will go far to
increase the purchasing power
of the highway dollar," he said.
Negro groups might go to court
later to fight the decision.
Clarence Mitchell, NAACP
Washington director, charged
that today's race hearing there,
headed by Rep. James C. Davis
(D.-Ga.) was in the hands of
"bigots." He warned that it may
cost the Democratic party votes
of Northern Negroes in Novem
ber. All Are Southerners
Davis, Rep. Bell Williams (D.
Miss.) and Rep. JoeJ Broyhill
(R.-Va.) conducted the hearing
in the absence of Rep. A. L. Mil
ler (R.-Neb.) and Dewitt S. Hyde
(R.-Md.) who were aligned on
the Northern side. The South
erners all signed the Southern
manifesto opposing racial inte
gration. State Attorney General Joe
M. Ferguson backed up the Stur
gis school board's action by rul
ing that integration there was
premature because local school
officials had not voted to inte
grate. The NAACP tried to get Con
gress to cancel the Washington
hearings.
Mitchell said he feared the
inquiry would be used as a
"forum to promote the kind of
strife that has brought disgrace
to Clay and Mansfield and Tex
arkana, Tex."
"The NAACP is a radical or
ganization," Davis said. "I don't
pay any attention to what the
NAACP says now or any
time."
May End Picketing
In the Kentucky ruling, Fer
guson said the U.S. Supreme
court left the matter up to the
school officials and not to Ne
gro parents.
The decision, if followed by
peaceful withdrawal of the Ne
gro students at Sturgis, as at
Clay, apparently would end for
the time being integration at
tempts that stirred riotous white
picketing until National Guards
men took over. .
Negro Attorney James A.
Crumlin said at Louisville. Ky.,
that he believes Ferffuson's nil.:
ing is wrong in that the count; f
school board has desegregated I
by "implication," if not by ac
tual vote. 1

for a new set of laws to govern
the conduct of man if and when
he conquers the universe.
Problems of space etiquette
