More Negroes Apply For Admission To White Schools In Norfolk
Fourteen Negro boys and girls filed applications for admission to white public schools in September and nine more followed yesterday. Norfolk School Board chairman Paul Schweitzer said qualified children will be enrolled and that the board will decide each case on its merits. Attorneys for local boards and NAACP said Hoffman's desegregation order remains in force despite new pupil placement legislation. Juanita Welch, 15, urged calm, noting schools may close briefly when integration begins but will reopen as white parents seek education for their children.
