one still being given serious
consideration in the search
for a new training site.
The officials said investiga
tions of several West Coast
sites had been strictly "ex
ploratory" and that there
were no plans for abandon
ment of recruit training at
Alameda in the near future.
No funds have been budgeted
for a new site, they said.

Alameda Base To Ba Kept
The Coast Guard has been
seeking a site for relocating
training facilities at Alameda,
but Smith said it now ap
peared the California facility
would be retained.
He said it had been estimat
ed that major rehabilitation
work required at Alameda
would cost from $15 million
to $20 million. However, he
said, the cost could be spread
out over a period of years.
Smith said the cost of con
verting the Oregon base for
training use by the Coast
Guard would be "too high"
and that the base itself was
"too big.''
However, Sen. Wayne
Morse (D-Ore), who has de
manded that a use be found
for the station, has suggested
the base could be shared by
more than one agency.
Smith said the Coast Guard
had looked at several West
Coast installations that have
been declared excess and
abandoned by the Defense De
partment. None, he said, had
turned out to be suitable.
Other Coast Guard officials
had indicated earlier that

Local Action Groups Help To
Solve Integration of Schools
By AL KUETTNER
UPI Correspondent
As racial segregation bar
riers have toppled in school
districts of the South, grass
roots citizens' organizations
spearheaded by parents and
teachers often have paved the
way to a peaceful transition.
Since the days of the Cen
tral High School desegrega
tion crisis in Little Rock six
years ago, the local action
groups have had their fling
at the civil rights issue. Their
names have become staccato
symbols of the problem.
S-O-S. ABLE. OASIS. HOPE.
Those were the trademarks
for parents who banded to
gether to insure continuing
classes in the face of home
town integration.
A new group in Birming
ham has joined the others.
Held First Meeting
The organization is known
as PEP for "Public Educa
tion Peacefully." It held its
first meeting Tuesday night
in Birmingham, which has
been ordered to submit a
school desegregation plan in
August.
J. Vernon Patrick, an at
torney who lives "over the
mountain" in th residential
suburb of Vestavia, presided
in a courtroom on the third
floor of the Jefferson County
Courthouse. With him up
front were six or seven PEP
leaders who had hoped to at
tract a crowd sympathetic to
keeping schools open, even if
desegregated.
A crowd of approximately
350 packed the courtroom,
spilling into the balcony.
They carried placards with
such remarks as "Birming
ham - Betrayed But Not Beat
en." Patrick and his PEP group
tried to talk about schools
but it did not go well. Ralph
Edwards, a steel mill worker
who identified himself to the
crowd as a "redneck," told
Patrick to "sit dow.i, you
don't even live in Birming
ham." Patrick Was Ignored
Patrick's group had brought
a projector and a document
ary film about how Dallas,
Tex., had peacefully deseg
regated its schools. The chair
man asked someone in the
back room to turn out the
lights so the film could get
started. He was ignored.
The meeting finally broke
up without any action. Out
side segregationist pickets
paraded around the court
house. Another Alabama grass
roots session went into action
with better success. This was
"Alabamians Behind Local
Education" (ABLE) at Mobile,
which also has been ordered
to desegregate schools. The
group was promptly desig
nated as ABLE.
An ABLE announcement
said that "whatever our feel
ing on this issue, Mobilians
must stand together again to
preserve the school system
for which we have worked
and paid taxes."
'Save Our Schools'
A delegation from Atlanta's
"Help Our Public Education"
(HOPE) and an "Organization
for Assisting the Schools in
September" (OASIS) went to
Mobile recently to confer and
give advice. Mobile was fol
lowing much of the Atlanta
plan.
In New Orleans, a similar
group was called "Save Our
Schools" (S-O-S.) Jacksonville,
Fla., picked the title of "Aid
September Students in Sensi
ble Transition" (ASSIST). Five
such groups were active in
Virginia.
Basically, the activities of
all the groups were the same
- providing speakers for civ
ic and community clubs and
PTA meetings and lobbying
before legislatures and local
government bodies. They
have worked to encourage dis
cussion of the problem. They
have helped school and police
officials in spotting and iron
ing out difficulties before,
during and after the transi
tion. Mrs. Dan Burge, of Atlanta,
a HOPE leader who went to
Mobile, said "We found there
a group that didn't want to
overturn the community but
simply wanted to prepare for
this thing in a calm and In
telligent way. They didn't
want to bypass anything ex
cept racial misunderstanding."

Greta D. - It's my brother's
turn to shelter our father.
Lloyd N. - My wife won't
have him in the house.
Greta D.-Whcn my father's
second wife died last year,
he came to live with my hus
band and me. We had some
difficult adjusting to do es
pecially to get our teen - age
children used to the idea of
having an aged parent around,
an dit's been a restricted life
for us all. What helped us
stick it out was the agreement
I'd made with my brother to
take turns caring for Dad.

September, but now he's back
ing out.
Lloyd N. - My father's a
remarkable old boy of 87, and
I love him dearly, but I can't
do more for him at this point
than help out financially. I've
had a year in which to try to
change my wife's animosity
toward Dad and I've failed.
She recalls how he opposed
our marriage (she was a di
vorcee), and the many times
he tiffed with her. I'm caught
between them. I thought aft
er all these years she'd be
"big," but Dad would be mis
erable with us.
Tha Council - Behind
Lloyd's statement lurks the
cloud of an unhappy mar
riage, a "cold war" existence
of two who go through the
motions of the married with
out having a real marriage.
Since this case is not primari
ly about Lloyd's marriage,
we'll limit ourselves to one
! point for Lloyd's wife: She'd
; be surprised at what her kind
ness to her father-in-law could
achieve for her marriage and
! her own happiness. If she has
! any love for her husband, she
should see the pain in his
eyes now, and lessen it by
! helping him "do right by"
J his dad ... As a September
suggestion, here's a two-way
approach: To give Greta
some respite, Lloyd makes
himself responsible for their
father's week ends. If he can't
play host to the venerable
gentleman, he can at least call
for him each morning and
"companion" him for the day.
Meanwhile, a family counsel
or (either a specialist on mar
riage or on aging) should be
consulted about the sick fears
' which keep Lloyd's wife from
i making him, his father, or
! even herself happy.
