There for the fall term and you would find Dixie a land of contrasts It all depends on where you look. You would find Negro and white children sitting side by side in Wilmington, Del., San Antonio and St. Louis. In Georgia you would discover that some Negro schools are the last word in modern, fireproot construction while many white children still get education lh one room buildings with outside toilets. You could find it the other way around without difficulty. You would lind people on edge about the segregation question everywhere, even in the so-called liberal states. North Carolina is such a state. At Old Fort, N.C., five Negro children accompanied by a Negro adult appeared for admission last week to the white sclfool. They had been attending a modern, well equipped Negro school, but it was 15 miles away.

Area LOS ANGELES i.n An oil well spewing over automobiles and stores at the Intersection of At lantic and Washington boulevards. J. W. Vandervanter, foreman of the well owned by the Atlantic Oil Co., said an overaccumulatlon of gases caused the sudden guther.

Two trucks collided while moving along the slick pave ment. 1956 1955 were no incmems. iney are pected to appeal first to the local board of education and then to the courts. The Old Fort scene undoubtedly will be reenaeted many limes in the long process toward the inte gration of public schools ordered by the U.S. Supreme Court. As the scnool bells start ringing. the nation's segregation stronghold, concentrated in nine slate: Alabama. Georgia, Florida, Vir ginia, Louisiana. Mississippi. North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee. Take a look at Mississippi, per haps the most vehement slate in the nation about preserving segre gation everywhere. The state is 45 per cent Negro populated. Between ages 6 to 21 it has 431.857 Negroes and 367,764 whites. Enrollment figures for last year show that 87 per cent of the white school age children were In class; 80 per cent of the Negroes. That's the highest Negro attend ance yet. Mississippi will fight to the last to keep segregation, But it is wil ling to pay for it. J. M. Tubb, Mississippi superin tendent of education, said tho state is winding up a 65 million dollar school .building program and is about to start 60 million dollars! worth of new construction. More trtan 50 per cent is for Negroes. Tubb claimed that classroom and teaching facilities have been eaualized and that just as much money is spent per pupil for both races; Some officials estimate the "equalization" program will cose the South a billion dollars. Schools have been going up so fast that iloodllghts were erected at some spots so the work could go on at night." . -- Ask. the school superintendent at Macon, Ga., to escort you to the best school in town and you'll wind up in an all-Negro institution with broad corridors, a complete scien tific lab. a fine library, excellent woodwork shop and sparkling washrooms. A Negro school leader In Geor gia, which Is spending 200 million dollars for new schools, acknowl edged that the improvements were causing some Negroes to soft-pedal integration talk. This resistance of Negroes them selves to integration has turned out. as expected to be a thorn In the side of the National Association for Advancement of colored Peo ple which is leading the fight to Implement the Supreme Court de cision. Bearing Failure Halts Ship Test ABOARD THE CARRIER FOR RESTAL 1 Builders of the giant supercarrier Forrestal still hope to deliver the 60.000-ton flat-top to the Navy on schedule next month, even though bearing troubles have forced postpone mem of full-power speed trials. Everything was going along fine yesterday when a propeller shaft bearing melted about 100 miles off Cape Henry, Va. Because of this, officials of the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Co. decided to bring the great warship back to home base tomorrow, instead of Friday as originally planned. Changed plans now call for the Forrestal to go through her speed paces Sept. 19. All other scheduled tests will con tinue today. "We still hope to deliver the ship to the Navy on Sept. 29, as sched uled." said H T. Bent, vice presi- uorks manager or the Newport News firm that built the ' world's biggest fighting ship.

It is thought the picture was Flood Relief Meeting Held WASHINGTON lPI Representa tives of 10 federal agencies lath ered for a White House meeting today to check up on their vast re habilitation programs for the flood ravaged Northeastern stales. They wanted to see where the project might be speeded up and whether any new aids could be sup- plied with existing funds-and per sonnel. The closed door conference was!ov'ous aim at keeping the sexes set up by White House staff mem bers here at the request of Presi dent Eisenhower, now vacationing in Colorado. Meanwhile. AFL President George Meany called for a con gressional investigation of reports that "agents" of Southern commu nities are at work in the flood areas trying to entice mill owners to abandon their damaged plants and relocate in the South. He did not specify the communities the "agents" came from. He said the more than 100,000 workers thrown out of work by the floods and others are shocked by the "piratical activities" of out siders who "hurried into the strick en areas with lush inducements to mill owners to migrate and aban don their workers." He urged that Congress investi gate and pass a law to bar "unfair competitive methods by communi ties" to entice new industries. Under an informal understanding with congressional leaders of both parties, the administration has made available up to 100 million dollars of Army Enpineer funds to help reconstruct public facilities in the flooded areas. Through other agencies, it is providing food, loans, housing and health assist ance to the homeless,- farmers and small businessmen. Defense industries also have had placed at their disposal up to 900 million dollars for loans to repair and replace factories swamped by flood waters.

The council urged drivers to hold down speed, take care in signaling turns and stops to the drivers be hind, keep in the right traffic lanes, pass only when there is plenty of room and keep a safe distance from the car ahead. , Charles Fay's DINNER ft DANCING ft COCKTAILS ft COFFEE SHOP Open Every Night Located on Calif.-Ore. border - Highwoy 97 Phone Exeter 7-4772 Dorris, California IfERALT) AT NEWS," KLAMATH FALLS, ORKGON Scientists Study Mounting Male Death Rate In World By DKI.OS SMITH ' :l'nlted Press Self nee h'dlior NEW YORK (UP) Scientists i and all other men have been called upon to solve a riddle which will strike 'you as bolh per sonal and urgent If you' are mas culine of sex.
