UPI Telephoto Rural County In Virginia Ceeps Segregation Stand Dy AL KUETT.N'ER I'nitcd Press International There used to be a teacher at the R. It. Moton Hifih School for Negroes in Karmvillc, Va., who spent her summers alonR the riv ers and shores of the Tidewater section of the stale. Her pupils often accompanied her. ;During those pleasant outings, tlie Negro teacher and her youngs ter from the rural hill country of Prince Edward County gathered driftwood which came ashore plentifully in many shapes and sizes. Back home, they immersed the wood in soapy water to clean it. After it dried, they began rub bing in floor wax. After scores of hours at a tedious task that was perfected centuries ago by na tives of the South Seas islands, the exhibits were carried to a large glass case where they were shown to visitors as an example of the skill and perseverance of the Negro high school children of Farmville. The Negro school a brand new structure and all other public schools in Prince Edward County, have been closed since 1(159 ne cause the county refused In bow to federal court-ordered desegre gation. But the perseverance of the Negroes there has not dis appeared. Back In The Picture Today, Farmville is back in the racial picture with demonstra tions, both for the reopening of schools and the desegregation of public accommodations, gaining momentum. Prince Edward County, wilh an area of 359 square miles and a population of about 14,000, has re mained the nation's outstanding symbol of flat refusal to desegre gate schools. It was one of the original defendants in the 1954 Supreme Court ruling. It is the only community in the country that closed its schools tn avoid court-ordered transition toward integration. An organization called the Prince Edward Educational Foun dation, spearheaded by a local box manufacturer and with scant education knowhow, set up a pri vate school (or white children only. For a while, they met in church basements and private homes College Proxy Types Students In 3 Groups ANN ARBOfJ, Mich. (UPD Aiconsideralion the number of these man who served for 2.1 years as students who find themselves aft president of the University of Michigan says students usually can be classified into three types, They are the noisy ones, the playboys land girls), and thei dedicated ones, says Dr. Alexan der G. Rulhven, president emeri tus, who was in office 1929-1951. He describes them in his autobio graphical "Naturalist in Two Worlds" (University of Michigan Press). the noisy ones, said Dr. Ruth-i ven, "are determined to be heard from the time they enter college. Posing as authorities on almost everything at home and abroad. they insist they should run the university. . .They usually claim to be liberals and bonst of disre spect for authority. Common sta tus symbols arc. . .soiled shoes, jeans, shorts, untidy hair, and oc casionally mangy beards. "These students should disturb no one. One can usually assure that their activities represent growing pains. My disappointment with them as I havo seen them later as alumni is that very few become liberal leaders and many become distressingly ultracon-servative." The educator said the "play boys (and girls)" had "in my ex perience" been a small group. He said that "complaints arc often heard about the waste of money and time o instruction in trying to educate those whose ambition is to get nothing more than a gentleman s grade" or to get married. "The critics fail to lake Into AIRCRAFT The aircraft industry estimates that 19G2 spacecraft production was about 13 per cent of total production. One-half the industry's production was concerned with air craft and components and the rest with missiles, according to the Brilaiinica Book of the Year. er they have entered college and go on to success as alumni and citizens," Dr. Rulhven wrote. 'The dedicated ones," he con tinued, "more than any others make life worth living for their teachers" because they come to college "with their eyes firmly fixed on at least a general goal. . .Once called 'grinds' hy the playboys and considered poor col lege citizens by the noisy ones, these men and women have in later years gained the more re spectable title of 'eggheads'.

The foundation has published periodic reports on how the ven ture lias worked, including state ments that many of the graduates went on to colleges where they completed favorably wilh grad uatcs from public schools over the nation. Several years ago, a group in cluding a number who had set up the white school offered to help Negroes establish a private school for the estimated 1,400 Ne gro children who have had no schooling for five years. Stick With Rights Oliver W. Hill, state lawyer for the National Association lor the Advancement of Colored People, rushed to Farmville and told Ne groes: "Don't let them entice you away from your rights. This summer has brought some remedial school work for the long deprived Negro children and a Michigan Slate University re search team moved in tn study the effects of no schools on the Negroes. The next development in the long impasse will action by the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals (nom inally considered to lie conserva tive) on a 19(i2 decision. In that case. District Judge Oren It. l.cw is of Alexandria ruled that public schools in a county cannut re main closed while those elsewhere. in the slate remain open. The Prince Edward struggle was one that became an island in the rising desegregation tide through the South. The county was chosen for an early test by integral ion forces on the assump tion that it would be a good test ing ground or later campaigns in the segregation-entrenched deep South. Prince Edward dug in its spurs and there they slick today while many sections farther South both more and less rural than Ihe Farmville area have embarked on some degree o integration. Steel Lists Big Profits In Quarter NEW YORK ' L PI - The Unit ed Slates Steel Corp. Tues day reported the highest second quarter profits since the com parable period of 1900 and indi cated that heavy stockpiling as a hed:;e against a possible strike was a major factor in the in crease. The nation's number one steel firm reported sales for the sec ond-quarter period were $1,069 billion compared v ith $88o 2 mil lion for the same period last year. First half sales this year totaled $1 8W billion as against $1.86.1 billion or the same period of 1902.

However, the second - quarter performance fell short of that of most other steel companies, which turned in increases o 100 per cent or more. U. S. Steel Board Chairman Roger M. Blough, speaking at a press contcrence following release of the financial report, indicated that the post - labor settlement slump this year would be les: severe than in 1862. He predicted that both third-quarter production and shipments would be up some what from last year. L'"$f55SPlH TIP fr-H-': PACE S-A HERALD AND NEWS, Klamath Falls. Oregon Thursday.

Skating Party Planned Civil Rights Ban Defeated WASHINGTON tUPH-By the narrowest possible margin. Dem ocrats on the House Banking Committee Wednesday defeated a Republican attempt to vole a ban on racial discrimination in federally-aided projects in economically-depressed areas. The civil rights amendment was defeated on a 14 to 14 tie vote with the balloting following straight party lines. The committee then voted 23 to 10 to approve a stripped - down version of the administration s bill lo sharply expand federal aid for depressed areas. Liberal northern Democrats who voted against the GOP-spon- sorcd civil rights amendment in sisted that its adoption would have killed any chance for final enactment o the Senate-passed legislation. To help forestall elimination of the discrimination ban, commit tee Democrats agreed to support an amendment barring funds lo aid construction o motels and hotels.
