The pace of Southern school deseg regation continues to be slow, the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights reported this week as it called for steps to strengthen enforcement of school deseg regation guidelines. "This cannot be a time for retrenchment or wavering of purpose," the six members of the Commission said. "We do not believe that further delay in securing rights so fundamen tal as the right to equal edu cational opportunity will serve the real interests of any citi zen or of the Nation." In releasing the report, Wil liam L Taylor, Staff Director of the Commission, said: "Al though it does not receive as much publicity as in previous years, violence against Negroes continues to be a deterrent to school desegregation." Taylor noted that in six of the 63 school districts in the 14 Southern and border States visited by the Commission staff, "we found that shots had been fired into the dwellings of Negro school children" who had exercised their option to attend previously all - white schools. "The districts we visit ed were not selected because of any complaints of violence,"' Taylor added. In the report, Southern School Desegregation, 1966-67, the Commission noted that "the vast majority (more than 75 percent) of Negro children in the South still are being de nied the rights declared to be theirs by the Supreme Court's decision in the school segre gation cases and the Civil Rights Act of 1964." More than 2Vz million Negro pupils still attend all-Negro schools in the 14 Southern and border States, See COMMISSION 2A Funeral Rites To Be Held Friday For Hudie Williams Funeral services for Hudie Williams of 1415 Ridgeway Ave. were held Friday at 1 p.m. at Ebenezer Baptist Church, with the Rev.
