Justice Department attorneys argued such action is constitutionally permissible to stop "white flight" if no discrimination is intended. If the courts accept the argument, the effect could be to overturn the U.S.* Supreme Court's landmark 1954 decision which outlawed "separate but equal" schools for blacks and whites. All of north Carolina's school sfsfems now use busing to achieve desegregation, ^although the Charlotte-Mecklenburg system is the only system under federal court order to do so. * i ' Regan takes credit foi WASHINGTON -- The South African government released 16 of 21 black labor leaders Friday whose arrests without trial or formal charges led to sit-ins at South Africa's embassy here. At least 27 persons were arrested at the South African Embassy here to protest the detention of - black labor leaders in the wake of a two-day strike which brought South Africa's industry to a near halt. President Reagan said the release of the labor leaders was evidence that his policy of "quiet diplomacy" was working against South Africa's apartheid racial policies. * "1 don't think we're being too bold in taking credit for this," Reagan said following a meeting at the White House with anti-apartheid activist Bishop * Dr. Simkins resigns a GREENSBORO - Dr. George C.

City police jailedv Simkins for trespassing, but he sued the city in a case that eventually went to the U.S. Supreme Court. After four years and two trials, he was given a gubernatorial pardon.

I I I I H \a local news oriejs compiled by Greg Brown 1 stop busing students In a "friend of the court" brief filed in the 4th U.S. Court of Appeals, Assistant Attorney General William Bradford Reynolds said Norfolk legally was entitled to stop busing for two reasons. First, he said a court ruled nine years ago that busing had ended Norfolk's illegal dual schools system and replaced it with a racially unified system. Since that finding ended court supervision of the system, Reynolds said the city could use any student assignment system whose purpose was not discriminatory. And even if it resulted in increased school segregation, Reynolds said Norfolk's proposed neighborhood school plan was a legal means to halt white flight from the schools and increase parental involvement in tht schools. If the neighborhood school plan t? adojHe^> thc number of 90 percent black schools would increase from zero to 10. r prisoners' release Desmond Tutu, the 1984 Nobel Peace Prize winner. The president said there was 4'no evidence" that the sit-ins at the embassy brought about the prisoners' release. He met with Tutu for about 30 minutes before word came of the prisoners' release. Tutu avoided direct criticism of the president's policies immediately after the meeting, but said the situation for blacks living under apartheid had "in fact worsened." "The effectiveness of constructive engagement is something we believe has not been proven," Tutu said. "Constructive engagement" is the administration's policy of applying pressure through diplomatic channels against human rights abuses without economic sanctions or sharp public statements. s NAACP president _ L _11?

At a nearing, none of the patients would testify to the illegal sales and the charges were dropped for lack of supporting evidence, even though Simkins signed a confession to the charges.

Human Relations Commission by Gov. James Holshouser a few weeks after paying the fines. *'George Simkins deserves a lot of credit," said former Mayor Jim Melvin, who frequently clashed with Simkins over issues. "He's been a persistent leader. Many in the community didn't agree with his tactics, but his cause has always been a straight course. The history books will speak kindly to him as an innovative civil rights leader."
