Integrationists Win In Chicago On Oct. 22, civil rights groups In Chicago staged the largest school boycott ever called In the nation. A total o( 221,700 pupils were reported absent by school offi cials out of a total enrollment of 469,7:13 in the 1st through 12th grades. It involved 47 per cent of all Chicago public school stu dents. The students who plaved hooky were protesting "dc facto segregation" which Negroes contend exists in Chicago schools. They also opposed School Supt. Benjamin C. Wil lis. His ouster was demaned in repeated demonstrations all summer. Mass arrests were made. One particular sore point with Chicago Negroes was the use of mobile classrooms so-called "Willis Wagons" in Negro neighborhoods to relieve crowd ed schools. Negroes saw this as an attempt to further "dc facto segregation" by keeping Ne gros hemmed into their own neighborhoods. Cost of Ihe boycott: An esti mated $470,000 was lost in state aid school funds, bused on over age daily attendance in schools. Integration leaders won a big victory last week when Willis invited parents of 16.000 child ren In overcrowded schools lo make transfer applications In underused s c h 0 0 Is in other neighborhoods. The overcrowded schools were split evenly about half pre dominantly white and about half mostly Negro. Most of the un derused schools were predomi nantly white.
