SPRING WATER.
As you know the Department of Health, Education, and Wel-
fare (HEW) and the Justice Department have recently formula-
ted a new joint policy statement regarding compliance proce-
dures for local school districts in meeting the requirements of
It was, and still is, my view
that school districts which
are showing progress should
be allowed to continue to
show progress without undue
federal intervention.
Since I wrote that letter to
Secretary Finch, I had been
carrying on a continuous dia-
logue with members of the
administration in an effort
to persuade them to refrain
from taking too harsh a '
stand against school districts
which are encountering se-
vere difficulties in meeting
federal school requirements.
The procedures outlined
in the new policy statement
are the cumulative result
of my efforts along with
those of many others; some
ofyvhora were in accord with
my views and some of whom
were seeking a more stringent
policy.
The recent policy state-
ment said "that school dis-
tricts not now in compliance
are required to complete
the process of desegregation
at the earliest possible date. "
Although the new policy
statement indicates exten-
sion of the heretofore Sept-
ember deadline for comple-
tion of school desegregation
plans for all school districts,
it is not yeat clear how
much the administration’s
stand has actually changed.
While a Justice Depart-
ment spokesman explained
to newsmen that some
school districts would be
allowed another year’s time
for compliance, an HEW
spokesman was telling other
reporters that the new poli-
cy represented "no change"
in existing policy.
I believe we will have to
continue to work out de-
tails of compliance on a
case-by-case basis. The
new policy statement in-
cludes ample room to ob-
tain a workable plan under
the law. It remains to be
seen, however, the degree
of understanding which will
be extended to local school
districts.
Let me make one point
clear. I have been seeking
a greater degree of under-
standing on the part of the
federal government for

By now sister June had married a doctor in Wisconsin. Brother
Dean had gone with General Motors in Indiana. Neil, made of
the same blood and molded in the same environment, had
sprouted wings.
It was he who was chosen to test the X-15.
And when our nation chose its first civilian spaceman—it was
the boy from Wapakoneta.
I found no easy explanation for Neil’s overwhelming motiva-
tion during my visit to the Ohio home of his boyhood. Except
for his intense interest in flying, his youth was so usual, so im-
spectacular, that there was no way then, any more than there
is now, to know what a boy is likely to do.
This one, Neil Armstrong, within days, will step—onto the
moon.

THE BOY FROM WAPAKONETA

that was then opening up for birdmen.
A shiny new Ford Trimotor visited nearby Lima, Ohio, when
Neil was 6 and his daddy had taken the family to see the splen-
did machine. It was tiny Neil who begged to go for a ride. Dad
bought two tickets for $4. Throughout the 20-minute ride, Dad
was terrified—but wide-eyed young Neil was delighted.
From that day forward he collected pictures of airplanes and
pilots. He memorized the biographies of the Wright brothers.
Took books to bed, read by flashlight. And one day Neil's
parents learned that the lad had saved his earnings from chores
and hadjOrdered from a flying magazine »a surplus warplane.
His parents canceled the order. Grounded, Neil built a wind
tunnel in the basement which shook the whole house. And got
him an "A" in physics. Neil enjoyed science and math at Wa-
pakoneta High because these were tools which men need to fly.
With the money he earned after school he took flying lessons
and when Neil was 16 he had a high school diploma and-before
he had ever learned to drive a car—he was a licensed airplane
He flew through Purdue and Pensacola.
Then Korea.
Neil flew 78 combat missions in Korea. Was shot down once.

COTTON IN LINEN SUPPLY
The greater use of conon
in linen supply services will
be stimulated through an
advertising campaign to be
launched this fall by the
Cotton Producers Institute.
According to R. L. Skov,
El Paso, a trustee of the Co-
tton Producers Institute, the
linen supply industry is curr-
ently using approximately
400, 000 bales of cotton
annually. Services include
such items as rental sheets
and pillowcase, towels, ta-
blecloths, napkins, and
uniforms.
In the towel field, cott-
on's position is being chall-
enged by paper. In sheets
and pillowcases — as well
as tablecloths and napkins
— hospitals, hotels, restau-
rants, and other institution-
al users are turning to dura-
ble press blends. Blended
uniforms are making inroads
too.

joint policy statement regarding compliance
the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
This joint statement said
that it is not the purpose of
the federal government "to
lay down a single arbitrary
date by which the desegreg-
ation process should be com-
pleted in all districts. "
It added that "a policy re-
quiring all school districts,
regardless of the difficulties
they face, to complete de-
segregation by the same
terminal date is too rigid to
be either workable or equit-
able. "
This is a view for which I
have been working for some
time.
Last February 27th, I wrote
HEW Secretary Robert Finch
setting forth my view that
a freedom of choice plan
sincerely applied is the best
manner in which to provide
equal education of high qua-
lity for all of our children.
