White Children Reject Mother Negro Husband Custody Case
In Louisville Jefferson Circuit Court three white children aged 9, 12, and 13 testified they prefer living with their father George Eilers over their mother Mrs. Marshall Ellers Anderson and her Negro husband. The 13 year old said she would not be happy in a neighborhood with Ellers' mixed-race children and would not want outsiders to date in such a setting. Judge Lyndor Schmid, who previously ruled in 1964 that the children should be raised in a racially mixed atmosphere, refused to reverse the decision. The hearing was continued to May 4. The Anderson woman noted four children visit Indianapolis weekends, while the 13 year old cited the marriage as the reason for not visiting.

Flexible Integration Guidelines Emphasized by Howe
Washington AP Mississippi officials were told by U S Education Commissioner Harold Howe that new integration guidelines permit flexibility in compliance. Howe said his office will be reasonable in enforcing them and aims to help schools comply, not cut off federal aid. The guidelines issued last month go beyond last year, requiring some faculty integration and confirming that freedom of choice allows pupils to select schools. Some Southerners contend the guidelines mandate percentages not contemplated by the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
