segregated school system.
Superintendent L. S. Weaver
acknowledged ihe receipt of the
letters. He said however, that the
letters have no official standing
because assignments under the pu
pil assignment law- have not been
mad* for any of the city’s 15,000
school children.
One of the five attorneys for the
group, C. O. Pearson, said the ob
ject of the applications is to in
tegrate the schools fully, permit
ting each child to go to the school
in hit own school district.
fri Bryson City, the Swain
County Board is planning an
carlv meeting to consider the
applications of six Negroes for
reassignment. Otherwise, they
say thev will have <e commute
about 45 miles per day (0 an
unaccredited school at Sylva in
Jackson County.
J. A, Sutton, chairman of the
board, said that serious thought
has been given to admitting the
six. Last fall, five persons, who
sought admission, were refused
and told to apply again this term.
Forty-two pupils seek transfers
; in Ynoceyville. They are request
l mg to be reassigned to the Cas
i well County “white” schools.
The board of education last
week made the 1957-58 pupil as
signinenia and the lists were pub
lished. Pupils had i 0 days from
the date of publication in which to
reassignment to other
schools.
Earlier, most of the 42 pupils
applied for transfers by form let
ter before the board had made the
assignments. At that time, they
were told applications could not
be made until the board had made
the assignments.
If is anticipated the forms will
be filled out and returned soon,
since requests for reassignments
must be presented to the board
30 days before the opening of
schools on Sept. 4.
In Greensboro the Gillespie
Park School Parent-Teacher Assn,
asked parents not to withdraw
their children from the school
which will open its doors to five
Negro youngsters this fall
The group passed a resolution
pledging support to the school and
promised to try to help maintain
the peace in the public schools.
Several parents have already re
quested that their children be
transferred to an all-white school.

House Group Kills School-Aid Bill;
South 'Cuts Off Nose To Spite Face’
BY ALICE A, DUNNIGAN
WASHINGTON (ANF) The!
South cut off its nose to spite j
its face Thursday when Us repre
sentatives voted almost solidly to!
kill the federal school appropria
tion bill.
Despite the fact that the public
schools in the South are in large
part run-down and shoddy, un- i
kempt and inadequate and there j
i is little chance of real improve-
J ment unless they can secure mon
ey from federal sources, the bill
was killed which would have ap
propriated one and a half billion
dollars to be spent for new school j
buildings throughout. America. ,
The vote was only 208 to 203 i
even though it had the Powell j
Amendment attached which would'
have denied money to states which j
did not give equal opportunities i
to ail students.
Nearo school in many areas of
the South are miserable and un
kempt and back off the railroads
and the highways, and white
schools are .not much better in
some rural sections but they re
fuscu to yield as Iccp. Howard
Smith (D.-Va.) one of the bitter
! est foes of Negro advancement,
moved to strike the enacting
clause from the bill.
Powell Amendment A "Death
Sentence"
Demise of the Bill was di
rectly due to the insistence b.v
tong Adam Clayton Powell
of New York, of an amend
ment cutting off aid to any
school district where racial
segregation is practiced.
In the absence of Cong, Powell,
who is recuperating in Europe,
thr anti-segregation amendment
was offered by Rep. Stuyvesant
Waimvrteht (R.-N.Y.i. who odd
ly enough voted against the bill
itself.
Prior to the vote on the bill
j Cong. Charles C. Diggs (D., Mich.)
i who strongly supported the Pow
i el! Amendment last year ns we! l
jas the school aid bill, made it
| clear that he would not support
I the amendment this year.
In a speech on the' House
Floor. Wednesday, Cong
lames Roosevelt (I>., Calif.),
another of the great liberals,
announced that he would nei
ther Introduce an anti-segre
gation amendment nor would
lie support any such amend
ment.
Later he told reporters that
he was not “running out" on
the amendment, but felt that
such proposal would defeat
the bill. He would, therefore,
recommend that such an a ■
mendment be attached to the
i school appropriation bill.
! This arrangement, he said, met i j
! the approval of Cong. Diggs, j |
j Green and Zelonko. It might bejl
■ recalled that. Roosevelt claimed i J
to have seconded the Wainwright j i
motion to adopt the Powell a-' j
mendment in the Committee, but J
the motion was defeated.
Diggs’ Refusal Not A "Retreat” j
In announcing his refusal to j j
; support the Powell Amendment,'
• Bif’3: said this was "not to be j j
! construed as a retreat from our j
: advocacy and support of the prin-j
ciple enunciated by the 1954 Su-j
; prone Court decision. It is rather .
i to be interpreted as a strategic j
! withdrawal from using the pres-j
I ent proposed school construction j
measure as a vehicle to supple- ~
ment that decision.”
Rep. Wayne L. Hayes, the Ohio !
1 Democrat who attacked Powell 1 1
hen he was confined to the hos- ;
oital fur being absent from the j j
Floor during the civil rights fight. : j
’ made another attack upon him]
for relaxing in Europe while they ] j
c. t ried o t the school bill.
"Knew He’d Be Criticized”
Hayes said ne knew he would |
be criticized for attacking Powell j
i during his absence as he was be- i
fore, but, "it, is very difficult to I
peak in his presence because he s
rarely here.”
Powell had just issued a state- |
ment to the press from the Rivi-j
era in France that he was the j
j President's religious representative j
; over there to settle some sort of j
quarrel, continued Hayes. But he!
said the White House has issued ;
! a denial.
Soon after the Hayes' remarks I
| the Wainwright-Powell amend-1
ment was adopted by a vote of ;
i;hi-105. and minutes later the:
bill was defeated.
Angry Democrats charged Pres- •
ident Elsenhower with the respon- j
, sibility of the bill’s defeat. They ]
| claimed that he pulled the rug
