The problem, integration lead ers admit, is making the existing laws work. They call it "de fac to" segregation. With the civil rights campaign in high gear, cities like New York, Detroit, Omaha, Boston and Los Angeles are witnessing the same type demonstrations as Savannah, Ga., and Jackson. Miss. There is, however, one major difference. In the South, Negroes still are battling in what might be called "phase 1" of the civil rights battle. This is the stage of breaking down existing laws that require or encourage segregation School Gets High Praise MOUNT SHASTA - Tile sum mer school session recently com pleted in Mount Shasta drew noth ing but praise from Carl P. Ho lier", superintendent of the Sis kiyou Union High School District. and William Freeman, principal! ot Mount Shasta High School. Of the 218 students attending- the short term school, 24 were en rolled in English I; 23, English II; 16, algebra I; 22, mathema tics I; 20, mathematics II; 24 world history; 40, U.S. history; 29. govcrnmenl; and 20, typing. Both educators stated that most students w ho attend summer school produce better work the following school term than during the previous year. Concentration is improved with fewer students and better habits are developed, they added. Another advantage to summer1 school is that many subjects can be offered which cannot be of fered during the regular school term because of limited schedul-l ing. Freeman said. By attending! classes for four hours a day for six weeks, a summer school stu dent can earn complete credit for an extra subject. He said that in many cases students who lack only a few credits for grauation make these up at a summer session without repeating an entire school year. Falls, Oregon I Elsewhere, tlie campaign "phase 2" with Negroes demand ing implementation of existing laws. The current non-South integra tion drive was launched in part at the 1962 convention of the Na tional Association for the Ad vancement of Colored People held in Atlanta. Roy Wilkins, NAACP executive vice president, led a procession of speakers who denounced what tlu-y termed "the hypocrisy of de facto segregation in the North and West." Old Civil Rights Laws Illinois has one of the nation's oldest civil rights laws. Enacted just 20 years after the Civil War the law specifically requires equal access to public facilities, includ ing hearses, and equal prices to all races for cemetery lots. Anti-discrimination laws are so strict in Illinois that a liquor deal er can get his license revoked for refusing to serve a customer on racial grounds. Bat observers in the state acknowledge that dis crimination is widespread, main ly in housing. Negroes still live only in certain sections of most major cities. The Illinois legislature delealecl a bill that would have prohibited AL Auxiliary Holds Meet MERRILL The American Le gion Auxiliary held its July meet ing at the home of Bessie West, with election of officers as the main order of business.

Despite a Supreme Court deci sion against real estate cove nants. they arc widely practiced By gentlemen s agreements. Racial demonstrations aimed at alleged discrimination in housing and business have cropped up in Boston. Yet, Massachusetts has one of the strictest anti-discrim ination statutes. Has Accommodations Law- Maryland, scene of demonstra tions in Baltimore and Cam bridge, has ap accommodations law in half the state's 22 counties. The measure covers motels, ho tels and restaurants but exempts places that get most of their busi ness from alcoholic beverages. Parks, clubs and private beaches also are excused. Montgomery County, Md. Washington suburb, passed its own accommodations law. It cov ers tnealcrs, sports arenas, stores, recreation areas and hos pitals. New York has had a law against job discrimination since 1945 and various amendments to its basic anti-discrimination law now cover all public accommoda tions and housing, including pri vate real estate deals. A new amendment to New York's law becomes effective Sept. 1. It prevents discrimination n all housing except the rental of an apartment in an owncr-oc- cupied two family house and the ental of a room by the occupant of a house or an apartment.
