Gerrymandering
Under Fire
Before Stanley
In an action in the UnTT?.
States Middle District Court
here Monday, June l.'i, before
Judges Edwin M. Stanley and
Eugene Gordon, Negro attor
neys presened oral arguments
for 100% desegregation and the
removel of gerrymandering lines
within the Durham City school
districts.
Another fact of the case is
that Negro attorneys intend To
object to the exclusion of Negi”
school personnel from tlje plan
of de.segregation offered by the
school board>.
Marshall T. Spears, Sr., ap
pearing for the school board,
argued that Negro pupils
should be assigned to the
school in the district in which
they reside, but if they .should
not like such school, then they
should be permited to go to
any school they like.
Judge Stanley, sp>eaking to
the argument of Spears stated
that, “this would fall within I
the purview of gerrymander.”
That is, arranging school dis
tricts to accomplish an unlaw
ful puzposG, namely, scgrcgai.
tion in the puble schools.
Judge Stanley also slated
that, “there must be no lines of
gerrymander present within
school districts, but rather rea
listic lines in conformity with
federal law.”
To do otherwse would be
contravene federal decisions, he
said. In substantiating h i s
statement, the federal jurist al
so stated that, “-dclit)erate speed"
should no longer be read fnto
the Brown Case. “The time ’las
long expired for its usage."

Negro citizens of Durham
were profuse in their criticism
of city officials this week be
cause of their failure to name
Irvin R. Holmes as head »f the
city's recreation department.
Holmes has served in the de
partment for 17 years and his
name had been frequently men
tioned as a successor to Harold
Moses, Who recently resigned.
Ihstead of; appointing Holmes,
City Manager Hughes named
Roger" Brown^ 29 year old
Goorgian) as Mo.ses successor.
It was leart^ed that Brown will
report for work July 20.
Negro leaders question on the
matter this week were in agree
ment that so far as qualifications
are concerned; the only reason
Holmes was not appointed to
the post is because of race. This
was denied, of course, 'by City
Manager Hughes of Durham,
