City to Limit
Planned Mixing
To First Grades
The Durham City Board of
Education narrowed the base of
integration provided for by the
now ofendance maps Monday
night by deciding to limit the

basis of a resolution for pupil
assignment submitted by Atty.
Alston Stubbs.
The lone objection was raised
by R. N. Harris, only ^egro
member of the board. He offered
a substitute motion that the map
l>e used for not only elementary
schools but junior and senior
high schools as well. The motion
was never seconded.
A resolution for pupil assign

read as follows:
