LOUIS, Mo.—Seven school teachers and their principal— all Negroes—won the right this week to be rehired by the Ar kansas school board which had fired them rather than allow them to teach white children. This victory, which struck a pattern in many south ern communities which agree to integrate Negro pupils, was won by attorneys of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc. (LDF). It was decided here by three judges of the U. S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. The suit was brought by C. S. Smith and Margaret Sanders, teachers at L. V. Sullivan High School for Negroes in Morrirl ton, Arkansas, and the Arkan sas Teachers Association, Inc., of which Smith and Miss San ders are members. The Association Is the pro fessional organization which represents most of the Negro teachen In Arkansas. Specifically, the Court ruled that the Defendant Board of Education reinstate the Negro teachers if they are interested in returning to the Morrllton district. A teacher wishing to return "shall then be offered the first positio nfor which he is so qualified in which a vacancy now exists or hereafter occurs," the Court ruled. LDF attorneys also won dam ages for the teachers, thus en titling them to the back pay lost by their dismissal. The Appeals Court concluded its opinion stating it was "grateful for the able oral ar guments and briefs submitted by counsel." LDF Assistant Counsel Mi chael Meltsner handled the case with assistance from Director- Counsel Jack Greenberg and James Nabrit, m in New York City. LDF Cooperating Attor neys John W. Walker and Har old Anderson of Little Rock and George Howard, Jr. of Pine Bluff also participated. LDF lawyers have won simi lar cases in behalf of Negro teachera in North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia. An other case is still pending In Texas.

(LDF) filed a $3,- 000,000.00 damage suit this week against the City of Los Angeles in behalf of Barbara Jean Deadwyler. Mrs, Deadwyler's husband, Leonard, was shot and killed by police officer J. M. Bova on May 7, 1966 as he drove his pregnant wife to the hospital under the expectation that a child was about to be born. The suit asks damages for the wrongful death of Leonard Deadwyler and for emotional distress suffered by Mrs. Dead wyler. Los Angeles police pursued the speeding car, which flew a white cloth from its radio aerial, for blocks before over taking It. The suit, filed in Superior Court for the county of Los Angeles by Johnnie L. Coch ran, Jr. of the Los Angeles bar, asserted that Officer Bova "neg -llgently, recklessly, carelessly, wantonly and imprudently caused his service revolver to discharge in close proximity to plaintiffs body, thereby mor tally wounding plaintiffs hus band." Officer Bova approached the Deadwyler vehicle on the front passenger side. The LDF suit asks $1,250, 000.00 for the four Deadwyler minor children, $1,230,000.00 for Mrs. Deadwyler, plus an other $300,000.00 to the widow for "emotional «nd physical in juries." Attorney Cochran was joined by attorneys Nelson Atkins of Los Angeles; Jack Greenberg, LDF Director-Counsel, and L«- noy D. Clark of New York City. "HARD DAYS AHEAD," KING ADVISES 5,000 IN N.

Johnson said this week that despite a tem porary setback in Congress "I think we are going to get lair housing legislation in this country because simple jus tice demands it and I think the American people have always, when they know all the facts and get the truth, done what is fair, what is right, and what is just." The President's remarks were made at the swearing-in cere mony in the Cabinet room for the new chairman of the Equal Employment Opportunity Com mission, Stephen Shulman. Speaking of the failure of the Senate to get cloture and out the 1966 Civil Rights bill to a vote, the President said: "Congress has bowed, tempo rarily, to the doubters. Al though a majority in the senate favor this bill, a majority is unable today to work its will. But its will will be worked and the bill will be passed in due time, I believe.* President Johnson paid tri bute to the new chairman of EEOC and said: "I worked very closely and very pleasantly with him during .my associa tion as Chairman of the Equal Employment Committee when Mr. Shulman was Assistant to Secretary Arthur Goldberg and I was Vice President." Commenting on the work of the Commission, the President said: "Despite these occasional set backs, we have made great pro gress. We have been making progress in the employment field—because the Equal Em ployment Opportunity Commis sion has two strong arms and it has not been afraid to use both of them. We have an en forcement arm. But we also have a second arm—the arm of Dersuasion and conciliation. Chairman Shulman knows ho>w to use them both and that is what I intend for him to do." Thousands of enlightened business men in this country and union members have al ready proved that they really want to do what is right.

Wallace this week by the NAACP Legal De fense and Educational Fund, Inc. (LDF). The U. S. District Court was asked to require Gov. Wallace "to exercise his control and supervision over the public schools of the state of Alabama in such a manner as to promote and encourage the elimination of racial discrimination." The same Court enjoined Gov. Wallace in July of 1964 from "obstructing by any means" school officials seeking to inte grate schools. LDF attorneys now assert that Gov. Wallace has made of ficial statements threatening to use the State Police against local Alabama school boards which attempt to integrate faculty and students. The suit charges the Gover nor with playing an instru mental role in getting the Ala bama Legislature to enact a bill (H. 446) for the sole pur pose of nullifying school deseg regation. LDF attorneys point out that the new law is in direct op position to "Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and See CONTEMPT 2A White Rock Baptist Church to Celebrate Its One Hundredth Anniversary Beginning Oct. 2 During the entire month of October, the White Rock Bap tist Church will celebrate its 100 th anniversary, it was an nounced here this week by the pastor, Rev.
