OCTOBER 9, 1967 In Franklin County PARENTS SUE TO SEGREGATE £«•£*!■ «-£#«- NABBED IN HOLDUP Ask Court To Bring Themßack Parents of 55 Franklin Coun ty Negro school pupils filed suit in federal court Monday seeking to have their children reassign ed from predominantly white schools back to their old Negro schools. The action was in the form of a motion for permission to intervene in the federal deseg regation school suit which has forced desegregation of Frank lin County schools. The pa rents asked to intervene as de fendants on the side of the Board of Education. Specifically, they asked for a return to the free dom of choice plan of pupil assignment. The motion said the 55 stu dents are among 282 Negro students transferred to pre dominantly white schools by the Franklin County Board of Edu cation under a court order of Aug. 17. The order, among other things, required the Board of Education to assign 10 per cent of the Negro Students enrolled in Franklin County schools to predominantly white schools. Parents of the 55 children said in the sprirng of 1967, under the old freedom of choice assignment plan, they chose freely to attend Negro schools. They said their choice was made without threat or intimi dation and without fear. They said they still desired to at tend the schools they chose to the spring. The parents said they would suffer Irreparable Injury unless they are allowed to intervene and defend them selves in the action. The motion does not name either the white or the Negro schools involved. A total of 329 Negro pupils were assigned to predominantly white schools to Franklin Coun Defies Machine, Win Right Toßun For Mayor CLEVELAND, Ohio - Carl B. Stokes not only won the right to run for mayor of one of the largest cities in the United States Tuesday, but he proved that the machine - that is sup posed to control big city poli tics- can be defeated. Stokes, who is a member of the Ohio State Legislatire, out distanced the incumbent mayor, Ralph S. Locker, for the right to oppose Republican, Seth Taft, in the November 7 general elec tion. The winner lacked less than l % in defeating Locker in the last election and set out to take the post this year. Upon announcing his candi dacy he was told that he would not have the backing of the lo cal Democratic leadership. This caused him to fight the harder. He had difficulty in raising campaign funds and had to go to Washington. He told his plight to Vice-President Hu bert Humphrey and he corraled many Washington Democrats and they raised a goodly sum. His plight caught the fancy of persons throughout the nation and they came to his aid. The eyes of the nation will be on the November election, due to the fact that he is not to the good graces of local leaders and that he is facing the grandson of late President Taft. That name has been magic to Ohio more years than one likes to remem ber. There were those who at tempted to smear him with the racial stigma, but he respond ed by saying vote for the man and not the color. There were also those who put words in his mouth and said that he was running or a platform that he was the only one who could han dle riots, should they occur a gain. rnt&rnwiimmmmßsnmießimtmuimtimnl Frern Raleigh*® Official Police Files mamuAT Cut Fridoy Night Nathaniel Leak, Rt. 2, Box 278, alleges to have been cut Friday, 7:30 p, m, by an un known party.

MATTHEWS Job Travel Hindrance To Negro CHICAGO-(NPI) lnability to get to the growing number of jobs in the suburbs is sharp ly t educing Negro job oppor tunities, several civil rights loaders have charged. At the time that unskilled Negroes were being told that jobs were available for them in the urban areas, suburban com panies were desperately short of laborees. Why the disparity? Locally, it attributed it to the fact that Negroes are more likely than whites not to have a car, more likely to live in the city, thus, increasingly unable to find work where most job openings are-- to the suburbs. This was the complaint made against location of a $375 mil lion atomic installation in Weston, a Chicago suburb, in wholse environs few Negroes live. While hundreds of thousands of whites live in the vicinity of the proposed accelerator, most of the million Negroes in the Chicago area live on the West and South sides of the city Bus transportation to the nu clear site would be prohibi tively expensive and time-con suming for them. The story is the same for othei suburban establishments offering job openings. (See TRAVEL.
