Senators Probe Air Force Buddy System

Memphis Board Rejects Quick School Integration Plea
Memphis Board of Education rejected a demand for rapid racial integration of public schools. The NAACP petition was dismissed as seeking only specialized interest groups and not recognized. Dr Vasco A Smith Jr said the NAACP education committee will review the board’s letter before further action. All city schools remain segregated. Integrated classes exist only at Memphis State University with eight Negroes admitted last fall after a legal fight.

Appeals Rejected in Henderson Strike Decisions by High Court
The North Carolina Supreme Court upheld lower court rulings in three Henderson strike cases. It denied appeals from strikers held in contempt for violating picketing orders around Harriet-Henderson Cotton Mills and rejected appeals of Elliott Caulder and Charlie C. Harris, who faced jail terms for brick throwing and riot. The decision leaves one major Henderson case pending involving Boyd E. Payton and seven union colleagues, convicted of conspiracy. Two contempt sentences stood: Joyce Ann Clark and Raines two days in jail and $250 fines each. Collis Strickland 20 days and $100 fine. The court noted no accuser confrontation request was made at trial in Vance County.
