Eleven Negroes Seek School Permits In Houston
Eleven Negro students applied for enrollment Thursday in three Houston elementary schools that were integrated last year. Two applicants were ruled ineligible and the other nine cases were reviewed by principals at Kashmere Gardens, MacGregor, and Betsy Ross Elementary schools. First grader Roland Vaughn was refused because his brother will attend Sanderson Elementary, and the district policy requires siblings to attend the same school. Classes begin Wednesday. Supt. John McFarland called the first day orderly and efficient. The three schools were integrated without incident last year by an order from federal Judge Ben Connally, with grade integration progressing year by year.
