What’s Happening
On Desegregation Front
Segregation Dies
Quietly In Kentucky I
COLUMBIA, Ky. Without|
fanfare or excitement, 17 Negro
students entered the Adair Coun
ty Consolidated Schools last week,
thus accomplishing Kentucky’s
first court-ordered integration.
The Negro pupils rode to schools
on the school bus with the white
children, and the driver, Robert
Piles, said none of them seemed i
to notice the difference..
"There's no use raising heck)
about it. Integration is here and:
we have to accept it.” Piles said. ;
Leader Blasts
Bypass Attempt
ATLANTA Attempts b
southern political leaders to
maintain racial bars and disre
gard the U. S. Supreme Court’s!
desegregation decisions, were
termed “utterly foolish” last week:
by the head of the nation’s steel -1
workers’ union.
David J. McDonald of Pitts- j
burg, president of the U. S. Steel- i
woikers’ Union of America, said;
many southern leaders are doing :
a. “great disservice” in attempt-!
ing to destroy the public school!
systems rather than to integrate j
Negro students with whites.
