Threats Close Milford Schools Over Negro Attendance
In Milford Delaware threats of violence prompted the two public schools to close again rather than admit Negro students to the previously all white high school. Superintendent Dr Raymond C Cobbs announced a 9 a.m. reopening was canceled and the schools would stay shut for safety. Police and teachers monitored the building as tension rose amid anti integration protests. Meanwhile in Hillsboro Ohio NAACP actions seek federal court orders against segregation in Northern schools, with officials denying deliberate segregation and citing residential rezoning as the cause.
