Newspaper Page Text- THURSDAY. OCTOBER 11. 1962 Little Rock School Integration Leaves Permanent Scars Editor'! note: Little Rock. Ark., and iti Central High school were in the interna tional spotlight in the bitter struggle for school integration there in 1957. The current troubles revolving around the enrollment of a Negro student at the University of Missis sippi have revived a flicker of the old discontent and tenseness at Central High. How has Little Rock fared since 1957 in school race rela tions Here is a report on how matters stand today. By DARRELL MACK Little Rock-iUPIl-The Stars and Bars of the Confederacy fluttered briefly over Little Rock Central High school this week at the height of the University of Mississippi inte gration battle. Central officials quickly had the Confederate flag re moved from the school's flag pole. J. W. Matthews, Central principal, dismissed it as "something that might hap pen anytime." It happened during one of this week's daily morning demonstrations in front of the school. The students waved smaller Confederate flaw and once jeered one of the 20 Negro students as he entered the building. They were the first demon strations in three years at the school and city whose educa tional processes and economy were riddled by the 1H57 in tegration trouble. Number Dwindled The gatherings, lasting about 30 minutes, were at tended by 100 students initi- ally, but the number had dwindled by the end of the week. An official school bul letin reminded the students, one of them said, that "what we do at Central is reflected on the school and ourselves." The school also banned flags and insignia from the grounds and from students' cars except for Insignia of school - sponsored organiza tions. Matthews said he had no ticed some "buzzing around in the halls" since the Ole Miss trouble started. A Negro student, a senior in his third year at Central, said a coldness, a tenseness had returned to the hallways, ; but he thought it would be temporary. "1 could feel icicle stares ! instead of warmth as 1 walk ! ed to classes this week," the student said. "I also heard the word nigger' more frequent ly, but I didn't know or stop to find out if it was directed at me. But 1 think this'll die I down in the next few days, i as soon as the trouble down 1 there (Mississippi) stops." He said prior to this week, there was practically no trou ble at the school. He said he r'w ' r I 1 GOES TO WORK - Rep. Olio E. Passman (Dl.a.) arrives nt the Capitol from flcthesda Naval Hospital In Washington in a wheel chair tn handle a hill in the House.

Sit by Selves He said only one or two white students speak to him, but that is as expected. He ricular activities or attend the school's athletic events. This is not true of Hall High school, located In the elite section of the city. Ter rell Powell, principal at Hall and superintendent of schools from 1958-1961, said some of said the Negro students eat 1 1 s'x Negroes mere belong in the cafeteria, but sit by themselves. A trumpet player and avid musician, he said he was ad vised by his counselor not to try out for the band. Instead, he plays in the Philander Smith (Negro) college band here. The Negro students do not participate in cxtracur- to clubs and go to football games. The general attitude, however, is still one of toler ance, not acceptance. "The students have adjust ed," a white senior from Cen tral summed up the general feeling. ' "They figure they can't do anything about it so they might as well forget It." Students asked that their names not be used. The senior said the Negroes do not participate In class discussions unless asked. Pow ell said the Negro students' grades generally follow the trend set up in elementary and junior high schools. Number Highest The 71 in the three public high schools and all five of the junior highs is the most since they were integrated Last year, the first year of integration for junior highs, there were 46. The number was 13 in i960, eight in 1959, none in 1958 when the schools were closed, and nine, all in Central, in 1957. The original nine -are con tinuing their education in northern and western colleges this year. Ernest Green, the first Ne gro graduate from Central (1958), is doing graduate work at Michigan State after gradu ating from there last June. Terrance Roberts and Jef ferson Thomas are juniors at Southern California. Melba Pattillo is a sophomore at San Francisco State. C a r 1 o 1 1 a Walls is a junior at the Uni versity of Colorado after two years at Michigan State.

Bates, field representative for the NAACP. He said one of the nine suffered permanent dam age to her nerves due to getting lost in the white mob the first day of school in 1957. He said the others have only bad memories. Bates said the Negro community as a whole has lost ground since the 1957 crisis. He said the stigma of Little Rock has caused many Negro leaders and professional men to leave. He said only three dentists" and one doctor under 60 years old remain for a Negro popu lation of more than 35,000. Bates said race relations in Little Rock were as good or better than any city in the South in 1956, but now were among the worst. "There is too much hatred (between the Negro and white community) now," he said. "Places which were integrat ed in 1956 have become segre gated since and everything we get now we have to fight for."

Will Not Compromise On these points, we will not compromise or surrender. This docs not mean we are not prepared to see whether there is any basis on which a discussion of these problems could begin. That is precisely what our American allies, with our full knowledge and understanding, have been try ing to do. But once again the Russians deny that the basis of nego tiation is a process of give and take; so far they appear to expect us to do all the giving while they do all the taking. Words, in a situation like this, are not enough We had to build up our military strength ... for the present it is perhaps enough to ay that we have done so and done so to an extent which must have given our adver saries something to think about. Discuss Other Measures Side by side with the mili tary planning which has gone on to meet the emergency forced on us by the Soviets, there has been discussion of other measures which we might be forced lo take to demonstrate our determina tion to stand by those who have put their trust in us. There is no telling whether or when we may have to use the measures we have planned we all fervently hope that we shall never have to use them at all. Nor, as I am sure you will understand, can I give you any details.

I , They have done what they m&l lh when Khru I dare to undermine our !. shchcv f'rsl deliberately pre Hons. By DIRK U. STIKKER Secretary General North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (Distributed by United Press International) It has always been funda mental to Western policy that Germany should be reunited on the basis of self-determination and free elections. The Soviets have paid lip service to this ideal; but they know full well that in any thing remotely resembling a free election in their zone, their Communist puppets would be swept away over night. They have therefore done everything they can to ensure that their "German Democratic Republic" should in no circumstances be sub jected to the dangers and threats of exposure to the processes of genuine democra cy. They have played out time. They have made immense ef forts to build up the admin istration of their zone as a respectable international fig ure, and have advanced the concept of "the two Germu nys" as though the imposed tyranny of the East were in any way comparable to the freely chosen government of the West. Balance of Power Finally, over the last foi,r years or so, they have felt that the balance of power in the world has altered suffi ciently in their favor to justi fy their embarking on a trial of strength with the West for that, let us make no mis take about it, is precisely what they are doing. They have held over us the threat perpetually postpon ed, but perpetually menacing that they will conclude a sepurate peace treaty with the government of the Soviet zone -a step which in their view, What have we been doing meanwhile? No Prospect Seen So far the problem of Ger many as a whole is concerned, it is unfortunately all too clear that there is no prospect of Ihe Soviets accepting any so lution which could possibly be acceptable to the West. We had therefore lo con centrate on Berlin on de fending our rights and posi tions and on seeking a modus vivendi which will enable us to live with the problem to which no final solution can yet be seen. In dealing with It, the West has stood firmly on three vilal principles . . . Our rights derive from for mal agreements solemnly sub scribed to by the Soviet gov ernment at the end of the war. These rights cannot be modi fied unilaterally by the So viet government; we are de termined to defend them. This Is the basis for pur de termination lo defend: (A) The liberty of the peo ple of West Berlin lo choose their own form of government nd to determine their own future; (B) The maintenance of un impeded access which is vital to the economic ife of the city, and voked the Berlin crises and let us never forget that there would never have been one had he not manufactured it- he believed thai the West would not risk a showdown over Berlin and that the unity of NATO would crack in the face of persistent Soviet pres sure. And this, I am personally convinced, has been the real reason why, for all their boast ing threats and for all their sly pinpricks, the latest series of which wc are still experi encing the Soviets have not so far ventured on any thing Irrevocable. Thp lesson from this Is clear. The moral for the future is obvious. For myself, I believe that we have not heard the last of Berlin by any manner of means. Over the coming win ter we shall I am certain, have many shocks to face. But if we keep our heads, and above all by remaining united, wo can weather tho storm.
