The Crosby school board
went into a closed door session
with school administrators.
School Board President Oli-

the meeting to the public.
The black students remained
across the street on the Crosby

the administration building,
obviously concerned about the
situation.
The doors of the high school
were locked. It appeared

Gov. Preston Smith to a second
term In the November election
has been organized here with
four of the governor’s support-
ers serving as co-chairmen.
State Rep Joe Allan and
Fred Hartman have assumed
co-chairmanships along with
Jim Bailey and Dr. Donald L
Brunson, longtime personal
friends of the governor and co-
chairmen of the three cam-
paigns in 1968.
A Democratic headquarters
will be set up within the next
tow days, and Gov. Smith will
be invited to Baytown for a re-
ception the next time he is in
Houston and Harris County
