Rittiner's unpaid school board puts him squarely on the horns of a sizzling dilemma. The Louisiana Legislature de manded he maintain segregation. A federal court ordered school in- Logging Firm Reorganizes Its Operations SEATTLE (AP) Reorganiza tion of the Simpson Logging Co., with operations in Washington end Oregon, and Simpson Red-! wood Co., operating in California, Into the Simpson Timber Co. took effect Thursday. Headquarters for the firm, a forest-products leader in the Pa cific Northwest for 65 years, will be in Seattle. It had 19 plants em ploying 5,500 persons in 11 sep arate locations. In announcing the reorganiza tion, the company said H. W. Mc Clary, vice president and general manager of Simpson Logging at Shelton, will become vice presi dent in charge of plywood and door manufacturing. He will re main in Shelton. G. L. Oswald, vice president and general manager of Simpson Redwood at Areata, Calif., will transfer here as vice president manufacturing with company-wide responsibilities. The 44-year-old engineer's phone rings day and night. Mailmen pile letters by the score on his door step. "Let me say.' I think you're a disgrace to your country, to the South, and to your race," one let ter read. "Old mealymouth," another said. "I'm a parent of six who would rather see her children grossly ignorant than associates of niggers." "I am writing simply to express a vote of thanks for the cour ageous stand you have taken in trying to keep the schools open," a third letter read. "Traitor, scalliwag, coward. vote hound," the names trailed off endlessly as RittinerTead the let- ters.m his office. When I was elected to the board four years ago," Rittiner said, "I never dreamed I would be in the public eye like this. I don't say I would have dodged it. But I didn't think it (integration) could have happened here." Ironically, Rittiner regards him self a staunch segregationist. Yet he voted with three of four other board members for a pupil place ment plan that admitted four Ne gro girls to while schools Monday. Why? Rittiner said he figured it came down to a choice between integration or destruction. "It is one thing to fight as far as humanly possible and still be able to recognize when you've reached the end of the road and; surrender," Rittiner said. "And it is another tiling to con tinue to fight without recognizing you have reached the end of the road and be destroyed. I don't want to see the public schools of Louisiana destroyed " Rittiner's roots lie deep in New Orleans. He was born here, grew! up and schooled here, graduating from Tulane in 1939. After college, he took a crack at the oil industry, then went into business for himself. He owns and runs three engineering companies. Rittiner, who is divorced, has two children, a boy and a girl both attending public schools. Rittiner said he ran for a post on the school board which has a S28-million budget for its 95,000 children because he felt like do ing some service work for the city. "Everybody can give money," Rittiner said. "I felt like giving my time." He ends his one-year term as board president next month. He'll keep his 6-year board seat, how ever, until 12. Rittiner says the phone calls come at all hours. Some praising, some damning, some threatening. "If they don't say who they are, I don't listen."
