C.—SATURDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1967 Six Southern States Lose School Integration Fight Court Orders Top to Bottom Integration WASHINGTON Respond ing to the U. S. Supreme Court's action this week—al lowing accelerated southern school integration the NA ACP Legal Defense and Edu cational Fund, Inc. announced a step-up of litigation in near ly 200 cases. The ruling, in effect, calls for top to botton school inte gration in six deep southern states. The high court refused to review the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling affecting nine crucial school integration cases. Under the Appeals Court de cision in the Caddo Parish group of cases, "a desegrega tion plan must work, must abolish the dual school system and the identifiable Negro school," said LDF Director- Counsel Jack Greenberg. This is "the most influential school desegregation opinion since the Supreme Court's. 1954 school ruling," Mr. Green berg added. The nine cases—of which six were brought by LDF attor neys—contained the underly ing issue of the pace and ex tent of school integration See INTEGRATION 8A Gethsemane to Observe 47th Homecoming The 47th annual Homecoming of the Gethsemane Baptist Church will be observed Octo ber 23-29, it was announced this week by the pastor, Dr V.

AUTOR The Planning and Zoning Commission agreed unanimous ly Tuesday to recommend to the Durham City-Council that the controversial Bacon Street project site be rezoned "R-6" for the construction of single family residences only. If the city Council accepts the Com mission's recommendation, con struction of multi-family units that were previously proposed, would not be allowed. Opponents of the develop ment of a multi-family public housing project at that Bacon Street site were elated by the Commission's action which was followed by "heated discussion on both sides of the issue," ac cording to Durham attorney H M. Michaux, Jr. But the bat tle is not considered to be won yet. Aware that the City Council could ignore the rec ommendation of the Commis sion, Michaux indicated that "we must insure that the rec commendations are accepted." Michaux did not know whether the Mayor would call a special meeting of the City Council to receive the Com mission's recommendations, or would wait for the matter to be considered at the next reg ular meeting scheduled for No vember 6th.

The speciffc site is presently un known, but it is believed to be "somewhere in the south." Disillusioned with "tradition al" civil rights type action, Carson announced last month that his followers would "re tire to the position of our fore fathers—back to the soil", and attempt to set up "a new world of our own" that would be in part an agricultural com munity. Apparently intent on going through with the plan, Carson said he expected to be "moved in" by the middle of next April. The plan involves setlement j of the site over a five year pe- ] riod, starting with 1,500 peo- ; pie next spring. With gradual increases, the population of the | proposed community would ex- j pand to 7,000 individuals by 1972. The cost is estimated by j Carson to be "about $700,000." The budget involves the allo cation of $90,000 for the pur chase of the 900 acre property. In addition to the financial support of foundations, Carson expects ai d from industry, commerce, and private sources. The response from persons who want too join in the settlement plan and those who are willing to contribute money has been "tremendous," he said.
