IHS THE CAROLWA Principal Rejects Afteinpt Of Wiiite Father To Enroll Children GREENSBORO An attempt to enroll two white pupils in Florence Ele mentary School here recently was rejected by the principal, Victor Blackburn, according to Guilford schools superinten dent, E.'D. Idol. Blackburn rejected two ap plications submitted by the father of the children. The first an oral application was properly declined and a second in writing met the same fate, Idol stated. The name of the father, David Neave, was at first kept secret by Idol who claims that he did so for human reasons. But later, the County Superin tendent evidently felt such reasons to be invalid as he re vealed the parent’s identity. Principal Blackburn stated that he could not recall the qame aa he had made no re cord of'It'. According to Idol, Neave was one of 34 persons who re cently signe3 a letter to Uie Board of Education asking that "if and when” Negro pupila applied individually for ad- _ _ rjua ams miaaion to Guiliorrf school, they AooM be accept ed.
