who were aligned on the northern
side. The southerners all signed
the southern manifesto opposing
racial integration.
State Attorney General Joe M.
Ferguson backed up the Sturgis
school board's action by ruling
that integration there was pre-
mature because local school offi-
cials Kid not voted to integrate.

"The NAACP is a radical organ-

Happenings Of Past Few Days In
Sturgis Area Thin Welcome Sign
By CHAKLES K. PENTECOST
I'nited Press Staff Correspondent
STURGIS, Ky., H'.Ri—A sign just
outside this small western Ken-
tucky coal mining community
reads, "you are always welcome i,n
Sturgis—the friendly city of the
South."
The sign has not been 100 per
cent accurate during the past two
weeks. Sturgis and the neighbor
ing mining community of Clay
have been racked by dissension
and mvir-riyt because of attempts
to racially integrate their schools.
These events brought armed
troops and tanks of the Kentucky
National Guard to Garrison school
grounds in Sturgis and at Clay;
made life long neighbors suspi-
cious of one ,-mother, and the state
government, and placed both com-
munities in an unaccustomed and
unwanted glare of world wide pub-
licity.
At present the anti-integration
forces seem to hold the edge. Two
Negro mothers at Clay have given
up attempts to enter their child-
ren this year in the Clay consoli-
dated school. In Sturgis, eight Ne-
gro students are attending high
school, but only 52 white students
went to classes with them Monday
of a total enrollment of 275.
Here, in brief, are the events
which led to the border crisis:
Met By Crowd
On Aug. 31, 22 of 30 Negroes
of high school age in Sturgis re
gistered for school at the all-Ne-
gro Dunbar High School in near*
by Morgainfield; eight enrolled at
Sturgis High.
The eight Negroes walked to
school on Sept. 4. They were met
by crowd of 300 persons, mostly
women, and were told, "that's far
enough. You have a fine school at
Morganfield. We suggest you go to
it." The Negroes returned home.
A crowd of about 75 gathered in
front of the school the next day.
The Negroes did not return. Sever-
al reporters arrived from Evans
ville, Louisville, and other places.
,-ind reported what had occurred. A
detachment of 30 state police was
sent into Sturgis. National Guard
troops were alerted at Henderson |
and Livermore. Reports of this a
lert further incensed Sturgis j
townspeople.
On Sept. fi. seven of the Negro
students returned to school. They !
were met by a crowd in an ugly j
mood. State police moved in, took |
the Negro children through the!
crowd and arrested seven persons i
for bre.-ich of the peace. A batta-
lion of National Guard troops and
four tanks moved into town and j
camped on the school grounds that
night.
Escorted To School
The Negro students were escor
ted to school under protection of
the troops on the following Mon- '
day, Sept. 10. All but 34 white stu- |
dents stayed away that day But I
by last Friday, .attendance had r
turned almost to normal—with 248
of 275 students in school.
At Clay, on Sept. 5. Mrs. James
Gordon tried to enroll her two
children—James, 10, and Theresa,
8 in the sehool three miles from
their mining camp home at Wheat-
croft. Clay residents, who boast
their town has always been 'all-
white." gathered 200 strong near
the school.
Newsmen and photographers
from Henderson, Ky., and a Uni-
ted Press reporter were threaten-
ed and told to "get out of town."
The next day, a British reporter,
Rene MacColl, and two colleagues,
were threatened on .a sidewalk in
downtown Clay.
Mac Coll complained of "hooli
ganism," in a telegram to Gov. A.
B. Chandler, Mrs. Gordon com-
plained to the governor that the
crowd had threatened her ami da-
maged her car.
Natior.tl Guard troops still gar
rison the two schools. General J.
J. B. Williams, the state adjutant
general, says they are there "in-
definitely."
Prisoners Who Cut
Bodies Locked Up
HUNTSVILLE, Tex. (lT.Pi—1Twen-
ty eight convicts who slashed their
arms and legs in state prison last
Monday were locked in their cells
without privileges today as pun-
ishment.
Prison general manager 0. B.
Ellis said the men, all classed as
"ineorrigibles," will remain in
their cells for 60 to 90 days "de-
pending on their desire to cooper-
ate."
Ellis said the prisoners, all max-
imum security inmates, would fore-
go their daily exercise periods and
weekly movie show, and would be
denied radios and confections
from the commissary.
The self-mutilations occurred
late Monday and was not disclosed
by prison officials until Tuesday
morning. Ten of the convicts cut
their heel tendons while the others
slashed their arms and legs.
None of the men was seriously
injured or crippled, Ellis said.

rence" today shortly after
Egypt softened its line and agreed
.o let ships of the proposed asso
■iation pass through the Canal if
they used Egyptian pilqts.
Britain and France wanted to
reject what they called a loaded
offer. The United States was re-
ported to consider It dangerous to
turn down a possible opening for
further concessions from Egypt.
Previously Egypt said it would
have nothing whatsoever to do
with the association.
Kefauvar Hits At
Aqri Dept. Report
ST. PAUL, Minn. rtJJii—Demo-
cratic vice presidential candidate
Estes Kefauver said today that an
Agriculture Department report en-
dorses a Democratic sponsored
stamp plan for distribution of sur-
plus food to low-income families.
He made the statement in a
speech prepared for delivery at
the l«th annual king turkey day
celebration at Worthington, Minn.,
which attracts thousands of farm-
ers from Iowa, Minnesota and
South Dakota.
Kefauver, campaigning for votes
in the politically-important farm
belt, said that the food stamp
plan advocated in the Democratic
platform would be "a mighty long
step toward curing" the farm
problem.
Another K sin less
Day Seen for Texas
(By UNITED PRESS)
Dry Texas was in for another
rainless day today, with only
ground fog on the upper cpast arjd
a few clouds in northeastern Tex-r
as hampering a hot sun.
No rain was reported anywhere
in the state Tuesday and none was
predicted for today.
Temperature records were set
in several areas of Texas Tues-
day, including a new high of 99
for the date in Dallas. Other sta-
tions with 99 included Fort Worth,
Mineral Wells, Austin and Col-
lege Station.
This morning's low temperature
was 56 at Salt Flat and Dalhart.
American Wines
Now Rival French
PARIS <U.R>—Many American
wines are better than the daily
table wines served in France, a
French wine expert said today.
_ M. Ladener who visited the
United States as an "ambassju1"
of French wines," said on hisl
turn to Paris that wine-drir, H
is on the rise in America. ™ ib
number of wine-drinking Ameri-
can families increased by 4 mil-
lion during a four-year period, he
said.
"Many of the wines which I
tasted there were very superior
to our quality of daily table wine,"
l^adener told his fellow Frenchmen.
