Clay Students Drop Boycott After Board Order
In Clay Ky four Negro pupils gave up their attempt to enter the consolidated school after a school board denial. About 150 white students returned to class. The Negroes escorted by Adjt J J B Williams heard the order read by Principal Mrs Trene Powell. The board action followed an attorney general opinion that the children were legally enrolled. Mrs Gordon said her children would return to Rosenwald. The group expected to file a federal suit to force admission with James Crumlin as attorney. National Guardsmen remained in Clay for the time being.

Memphis Tenn National States Rights Conference launched a national conservative movement to deadlock the Electoral College and elect a president. 317 delegates from 25 states approved a 13 point platform and endorsed candidates though no third party was formally formed. John A. Barr opposed declaring a third party, arguing a federation of independent state parties would fail to win. The long shot plan seeks to deny 256 votes and throw the election to the House where each state has one vote.
