Baldwin School Negro Teacher Acquitted Of Fondling Charge
Mani lec G MeN, the only Negro teacher at Baldwin Minh School, was acquitted by the Board of Education of fondling a 16 year old white girl student. The decision sparked cheers from about 400 in the auditorium as board president Ten Ty Bang announced the verdict. The board also ordered reinstatement with back pay after he was suspended without pay for two days following the accusation by Miss Susan Schaffner, who said he touched her waist, kissed her cheek, and squeezed her breast while she aided with clerical work. McNeill, married and father of two, blamed the accusation on a bad grade. The hearing began Aug. 31 and drew up to 800 spectators at times.

Motorists Must Watch Fast Trains Across Maryland Crossings
A Maryland rail line warns motorists to expect up to 110 mph trains at 21 grade crossings as high speed service nears. Since 1936, 14 deaths and multiple crashes highlight dangerous crossings along the Pennsylvania Railroad route from Baltimore to New Jersey, with several in Prince Georges and Harford counties. The railroad urges elimination of crossings but cites cost and local resistance as barriers, noting state and local districts must handle remaining crossings.

Gov Wallace backs state teaching law in Alabama
Gov Lurleen Wallace says she can present records in court showing most white and Negro parents want teachers of their own race for their children. She argues the law merely gives parents the same freedom of choice in selecting teachers as in choosing where children go to school. The NAACP and Justice Department call the two week old law unconstitutional and in violation of court orders on race in teacher assignment. Lawyers are also prepared to argue the constitutionality of a second new law allowing state funds to pay tuition for pupils in private schools designed for white pupils opposed to integration.

South Viet Leader Sees Hope For Peace Talks
South Vietnam foreign minister Tran Van Do said prospects for talks with North Vietnam are brighter than four months ago. He cited Hanoi's possible shift from prior stance and noted North Vietnam believes it cannot win a military victory. Do suggested a bombing pause offer by president-elect Nguyen Van Thien could be a lever to spur negotiations after his inauguration around November 1, possibly after a summit of Vietnam allies in November or December.
