Gib bons, Detroit, Mich. -Mixed School^ (Continued from last week) Included in tht 500 desegre gated schools are these located in four of the six communities involved in cases ruled on by the Supreme Court. Following the decision, Washington, D. C., initiated desegregation. Earlier the Topeka, Kans, school board voted “to terminate se gregation in the elementary schools as rapidly as practica ble.” The two school districts In the Delaware case already had admitted Negro pupils in com pliance with a state supreme court ruling. Only Clarendon County, South Carolina, and Prince Edward County, Vir ginia, have refused to heed the Court's decisJuik.. Peaceful Transition The extent to which success ful integration has been ignored in the press of the nation is something of a journalistic scandal. The inspired strikei, the demonstrations of resistance in White Sulphur Springs, West Va., Milford, Del., Baltimore and Washington havs been widely publicized. However, for every Milford incident, there have been scores of unheralded instances of Negro children be ing welcomed by their new white schoolmates and teachers. Indeed, this has been tha rule; the hate demonstrations, the ex ception. Addressing the American So ciety of Newspaper Editon last month, Charles A. MoKn\gi;.t, former editor of the Charlotte vN.C) News, now director of the Southern Education Heptrt ing Service, charged that there has been a “minimum of cover age’’ of the “quiet, constructive and imspectacular” progress in school integration. “Desegregation more often than not has been accomplteh- ed in the past year directly and without incident,’’ he told the nation’s leading editors. Fur ther, he said, "more often tfian not southern political leaders have not accurately reflected the views of many responsibl* •outhemers. Yet the total piC" ture which has emerged from th« press coverage of this story in the past year, in my opinion, la precisely the oppo site—^that is, desegregation Is usually accompanied by turmoil and neat’ violence.” The real story has been ob scured, as Mr. McKnight point ed out to his fellow editors. The children, the teachers and the school authorities in a hundred localities have demonstrated that children of different racea can play together and attend classes together without fric" tion. Even the widely publicized demonstrations in Baltimore and Washington never involved more than a small minority of !lic total student bodies. Parochial Schools Although private schools are not subject to the Supreme Court ruling of May 17, many parochial schools, particularly those of the Roman Catholic Church, have not only complied with, but have, in many instan ces, anticipated the Court’s rul ing. Thus the Catholic schools of Washington and St. Louis let down the color bar fully four years before the May 17 de rision. Following the decision, Kcve- ral Catholic diocese* in the Deep Soutk fnatituted step.i to ‘ij^tegrate the church schools. In Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas, in Tennessee, Virginia and North ^ Carolina and eloewhere in the region of segregation, Ca tholic schools, and occasionally Protestant schools, opened their doors to students without re gard to race or color. Initial resistance by parents to the integration of Parochial schools in St. Louis was promp tly squelched by Archbishop Joseph E. Ritter who warned that race prejudice is a sin and threatened ex-communication of church members who parti cipated in action to prevent de segregation. Elsewhere the church was unopposed in school desegregation. Undergraduate Colleges Although the color bar in professional. and graduate school training had been breached by the Sweett and Mc- Laurin decisions of 1800, moat NEW YORK — Th« Bill Robinson Award, presented annually in henmr of ths late tap dancer, goes this year to the Mills Brothers, just voted the most poplar vocal noup in 19M-66 Courier theatrical poll.

After May 17, West Virginia opened its 11 state institutions of higher learning, including two for Negroes, to all qualified students irrespective of race.

A nimiber of denomina tional colleges in the South likewise began admitting Negro students. Among these were Be rea College in Kentucky whose original policy of co-education of the races was discontinued in compliance with state law.
