WINSTON -SALEM - Led by
J. Alston (Jack) Atkins the sta
tus quo of this tobacco town was
shaken at its moorings Mon
day, when a suit was filed in
U. S. Middle District Court,
In Greensboro, that a federal
ifourt administer North Caro
lina public schools until
seperate schools for whites and
Negroes are eliminated.
The action of Atkins, a law
*er, who practiced in Oklahoma
Sr a number of years and for
mer secretary of Winston Salem
State Teachers College, in
bringing the suit, is said to
strike at the very root of the
Supreme Court decision, strik
ing down segregation in the
schools of the nation.
At the same time, he re
quested an injunction to stop
the school board here from
spending nearly $25 million in
school construction bonds ap
proved at the polls March 16.
If granted, the injunction
would halt construction on eight
new school buildings the school
system plans to build during the
1968-69 school year. These
buildings include four ele
mentary schools, two Junior
high schools, a vocational edu
cation center, and an ad
# ministrative office,
v Architect s were hired for the
buildings last month.
In his suit, Atkins asked for
a three-judge panel to take
jurisdiction of the st«te®s
schools until “every vestige
sos separate education fe
’ cttittes*’ for Negroes is gone.

choice attendance plans, zone

The concern of the meeting is
