Franklin County until recently seemed far removed from the in tegration crisis except for activ ity at the University of the South, an Episcopal school at Suwanee. s for public school facilities, Negroes appeared to be satisfied with their high school and were making no effort to put their chil dren into the two white public high schools in the county. In July, however, an integra- lon suit was filed against the county school board. Plaintiff; were four Negroes and four white persons, all residents at or near the University of the South.

The board pointed out that there has never been a ease of a Negro child applying for ad mission to a specific school who was denied enrollment. If the- federal court hearing the Franklin suit follows customary practice, it will not consider the case until "administrative reme dies" have been exhausted. In this case, the first step would be to present a child for admission to one of the white schools. The applicant would need to go through all the steps of admis sion procedure that are used on all other children in the county On the surface, the Franklin County case is an isolated inci dent.

BROCHURE HSL OEPt. 367 CALIFORNIA San Fronciico Intl. Airport Defense Department Explains Of Providing Hospital Care WASI 1 1 NGTON I UPP Govern ment VIP'S often take their ail ments to military hospitals, but this doesn't mean they get a free ride at taxpayer expense. The Defense Department ex plained today, in reply to queries, that Senators, Congressmen, Cab inet members and other "very im portant persons" are charged $37 a day for care in military hos pitals. This is a flat rate regardless of tlie ailment whether a splinter in the finger or a complicated case requiring the most elaborate treatment and attention. It covers everything, including medicine and drugs. The President of the United States does not fall into the VIP classification in this resjiect. As Commander in Chief of the armed forces, he is regarded as being on active military duty and the only charge for him or a mem ber of his family like any milit ary officer is $1.75 a day. This is primarily for food the patient consumes. Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy was charged $1.75 a day for a total of $12.23 for her recent week in the Otis Air Force Base (Mass.) hospital during which she gave birth prematurely to the child which died of a respiratory ail ment. JFK Paid Hill Th's was included in a total of $174.25, which the White House said Kennedy paid by personal check to cover subsistence at the hospital for his wife, her secre taries. Secret Service agents and the first lady's obstetrician, Dr. John Walsh. The flat fee of $!7 a day for OLCC Holds To 21 Rule PORTLAND (UPI) The Ore gon Liquor Control Commission stood fast Thursday on its rule forbidding anyone under the age of 21 tc sell alcoholic beverages. Reuiesentatives of grocery stores and of the clerks union had petitioned the OI.CC to relax its rule ant! permit those between the ace of 18 and 21 to ring up sales of beer and wine on cash regis ters. They said the rule made it dif ficult for many of that age to get jobs. Chairman Hugh Kiikpatrick of the OLCC said that "...over the years various commissions have not felt it would be in Hie puoiic interest to relax the restrictions. Sales to minors are the most pre valent violations of tlie liquor laws and permitting minors to sell hecr and wine would undoubtedly lead to more such violations."

Tlie Negro whose entry into Ole Miss was accomplished by the use of hundreds of federal marshals and up to 30,000 army troops told a reporter he hopes to go "three or four years more" to college but he wants to do it in Europe.

Padding - Policy To VIPs Law Ii Vague Defense Department officials ex- plained that there is nothing in the law that specifically authoriz es the military services to provide hospital care for prominent civil ians. The law provides that these hospitals may provide care for others outside the military serv ices. This has been interpreted to mean high officials under policies which are similar in the Army, .Navy and Air Force. In addition to U. S. officials. heads of governments from friendly countries are sometimes cared for at the $37 a day rate under the same policy. There is no hard and fast rule on who is a VIP. In practice, care is restricted to highest of ficials in the government and Congress, although any "emerg ency case might be admitted. Former President Dwight D. Eisenhower received extended care at Walter Reed Hospital when he was in office and was charged only tlie $1.75 subsistence fee.
