Then resent ment arose and after a boycott of the school by parents and white pupils, the Negroes were ordered from the school. The Delaware 8tate Supreme Court has since ruled the Milford School Board erred in admitting the Negro pupils without first receiving ac ceptance from the State Board of Education of an integration sched ule. The Negroes now are attending a segregated high school in Georgetown, Del., 17 miles south of Milford. Recently, the Milford student council wrote a letter to the School Board which asked the board to spell out just what the Integration policy would be in the License Charge Case Dismissed A charge of falsifying an appli cation for an automobile license against Ralph A.

The student council, headed by Edward J. Steiner, a tackle on the football team, then asked the board for a meeting to have the questions answered. The students asked to be allowed to bring their parents to the meeting. The board agreed to the meeting but can celed it Nov. 29. The board, elected last May, af ter it campaigned on a prosegrega tion platform, defeated a slate of candidates headed by Steiner's father Edmund F. Steiner, a wool processor. Steiner had served on an interim board which ran the system after the original board involved in the integration dispute last fal resigned. The Steiner slate advocated a go-slow integration policy. The 17-year-old Steiner, a 238 pound six-footer, and Dr. Paul Maile, high school mathematics teacher 'and student council ad viser, said the student council Is not interested in whether the School Board follows a prosegrega tion or prointegration policy. "What we want is for the board to lay down a line and hew to lt in their future decisions." The board In Its statements said politics was Involved, that the defeated board candidates were trying to embarrass the present board. The elder Steiner . denies this.
