; POLITICAL LOCK-IN Assembly Speaker' Jesse Unruh ( D-lnglewood I locked Ai
sambly Republicans in the lower chambers at Sacramento and wouldn't allow them
-to go out for dinner because they refused to vote on the controversial budget. They
refused because they hadn't seen the education bill that went along with it. They got
together and sent out to a local caterer. The lock-up lasted 22 hours and 50 minutes.

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

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 aircraft industry estimates

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'. Nei

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

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

the segregation-entrenched deep
South.
Prince Edward dug in its spurs

many sections farther South

Farmville area have embarked

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.
The company cleared $7.1,214,-
182, or $1 2.1 per share, in the
second quarter compared with
$40,181,081, or 63 cents per share,
in the corresponding period a year
ago.
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.

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.
