BRADLEY United Press International Oklahoma City -(DPD Okla homa's successful plan for in tegration of its public schools will continue without change when a new governor takes office Jan. 12. In fact, the subject has nev er been a major political is- rue in this state, despite the uproar so close at hand in Arkansas. Gov -elect Howard Edmond- son told United Press Inter national he will make no rec ommendations for revising the state school aid regulations which form the basis of Ok lahoma's gradual program of compliance with the 1954 Su preme court decision against segregation. Great Accomplishment Outgoing Gov. Raymond Gary said in an interview he considers the peaceful integra tion of Oklahoma schools to be the greatest accomplish ment on grounds that -the governor's attitude set a pat tern for all Oklahoma to follow. Gary, under the law, could not succeed himself. Ed mondson and the 15 other candidates who fought to re place him avoided the racial issue entirely. Hodge was un opposed for the Democratic nomination to his fourth term, and defeated his Repub lican opponent without segre gation even being mentioned. In 1955, the State Board of Education, which includes Hodge and six members ap pointed by the governor, vot ed five to one in favor of regu lations penalizing school dis tricts maintaining separate facilities for Negroes. " These regulations took ef fect in January, 1956 Could Slow Program Hodge said Gary "could have made our job 100 times as hard" if he had tried to block or slow down the inte gration program. Gary, a former f school teacher in southern Okla homa, where Southern tradi tions are strongest, said Okla- homans ' adopted a Christian attitude" which ruled out seg regation as a political issue, He also pointed out that tech nical changes in the method of allocating state funds to schools usually meant higher salaries for teachers whose in stitutions did integrate. Hodge said the board mem bers got a few irate telephone calls after they issued a state ment in July, 1955, that they would attempt to comply with the Supreme court ruling, They also received anxious in quiries from school officials in the so-called "little Dixie" counties of southeastern Oklahoma. VWe had our fingers cross ed," Hodge said. "One impor tant politician could have spouted off on this subject and caused us all sorts of trouble. But it didn't happen Hodge said only 20 school systems in Oklahoma have not yet started mixing white and Negro students at the high school level. A total of 190 high schools have inte grated, and 168 elementary schools are complymg with the high court decision. No Negro Students "Of course, it should be pointed out," Hodge said, "that many Oklahoma school districts have no Negro resi dents, and our jracial problem has never been on a par with the so-called Deep South states." . Gary said the state legisla ture could have interefered in the matter but didn't. He said he had talked with several lawmakers who doubted that their constituents would go along with his administra tion's approach, but had sold them on it, The National Association for Advancement of Colored People made Oklahoma a ra cial battleground in 1946 by seeking the admission of Negro to the state university at Norman. After a three-year court battle, the NAACP won. The. university no longer keeps a record of students by racial groups, officials say, and several dozen Negroes are enrolled. ' ' The NAACP waged a cam paign last summer to force downtown restaurants in Okr lahoma City to serve Negroes. Two large soda fountain oper ators dropped their racial bar riers, but the management of a third restaurant, in a large department store, refused. Pickets in the third establish ment, mostly school children, faded away at the start of the autumn school term. Edmondson's campaign for governor was based largely on criticism of Gary's record, but on the matter of integra tion the new governor has no MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford", Oregon, Wednesday, January 7, 1959 7 fault to find. - - "Oklahoma has made a good record on integration, in sofar as state institutions are concerned," Edmondston told UPI. "This includes higher edu cation and the major portion of our common schools. In most cases it has been accom plished without incident. A good deal of the credit is due to the attitude of Gov. Gary, who accepted from the outset that the U.S. Supreme court's Ldecision was the law of the land. "He stated that this was in accordance with his oath of office and that he would fol low that oath. I have no in tention of changing the policy that has been followed by Gov. Gary." . SMALL CONGREGATION : ' Hudson, Mass. - (DPD - The Union Church of AH Faiths has been enlarged.
