POLICE BELIEVE But Raleigh, N.C., and Chattanooga, Move to Integrate Schools. MONTGOMERY, July 23 (AP) Two southern school systems moved to end racial segregation yesterday, but Ala- bama took another step toward staving off integration. The Alabama Senate approved by a 32-to-0 vote a House bill giving school boards unprece- dented police power to "assure social order, goodwill and the public welfare" in the assignment of pupils to schools. School board members were handed a long list of factors by which pupil assignments would be guided ranging from "home environment of the pupil to the effect of admission on prevailing academic standards." Bui Goes to Governor. The bill now goes to Gov.

James E. Folsom, who has com mented that he does not see anything seriously wrong" with it. Removing a statutory barrier to school integration, the meas ure gives school boards full and final authority and respon-' sibllity" for the assignment of pupils. No pupil would be required to attend school with members of anotht-r race. A child would be "entitled to such aid for education as may be authorized by law" if withdrawn from school for this reason.

No system, however, has been set up for providing such funds. The bill provides that parents could appeal the assignment rulings boards to the courts. The judge then could order a ury trial of the matter. Court Tests Foreseen. Senator Sam Engelhardt, who drew up the original bill, said he foresees court tests.

But he added that each Negro who complained of discrimination would have to prove that his race was the reason for his be ing denied admission to a white school. At Raleigh. N. the Wake county Board of Education adopted a resolution calling for racial integration beginning in September 1956. Segregation rules would apply to regular, registration this fall, but the board said any child who does not like his school assignment can apply for a transfer.

The city school board at Chat- tanooga, announced that it will integrate city schools, but no definite date was announced. The board said it will I try to find a method of Integra if SI I Carr Area Housing play in safety while the mothers are busy with the washing. Igoe i the city's fifth public housing project, and the first to be operated on a non-segregated basis.

DRIFTWOOD HALTS SPEEDBOAT DASH TO KANSAS CITY Lee R.

Sawyer was forced to call off his projected effort to set a speedboat record for a trip from St. Louis to Kansas City today when he found the channel of the Missouri river filled with floating trees and other debris. "I had gone only about 12 miles above the mouth of the Missouri when I saw it was hopeless," said Sawyer, who left the St. Louis Yacht Club at the foot of Pine street this morning. "I couldn't make any time without risking damage to my boat.

Sawyer, an electrical engineer living at 4554 Red Bud avenue, said the amount of debris indi cated there must have been heavy rainstorms upstream. Sawyer holds the speed record of 56 hours and 56 minutes for the New Orleans to St. Louis run on the Mississippi river, He had hoped to establish a Missouri river record by racing his 15-foot boat, the Huckle berry Finn, from St. Louis to Kansas City in 12 to 14 hours'. IMPATIENT LYNDON GIVEN GOOD ADVICE BY PATIENT ADLAI HOUSTON, July 23 (AP) Senator Lyndon B.

Johnson Texas, recuperating in Bethesda Naval Hospital near Washington from a heart attack, has received this letter from Adlal Stevenson, 1952 Demo cratic presidential candidate: "Dear Lyndon: I am sitting on my little farm recuperating from bronchial pneumonia They are making hay out here. But now the tractor has broken down; the hay truck is broken down; the hay wagon has collapsed, dumping 50 bales of hay in the middle of the driveway, and my farmer has lacerated his arm on a hay hook. Besides, it is hot. I think I will just go back to bed, cough for a while and take it easy. And that would be the best thing you can do, too.

Cordially, Adlal." The letter was published by the Houston Post yesterday. Stevenson's farm is near Libertyville, 111., about 35 miles northwest of Chicago. He had sent more grave expressions of concern to both Senator and Mrs. Johnson immediately after Johnson was stricken. Stevenson, Just out of a hospital himself, wrote again after he heard that Johnson was impatient about his confinement.

ROME, July 23 (AP) Premier Segni won a vote of. confidence, 121 to 100, In the Senate last night, completing parliamentary approval of his new center coalition government. Segni, a Christian Democrat, won in the Chamber of Deputies three nights ago by 293 to 265 13 votes more than the re quired majority.

In the Senate, Segni had eight votes to spare. The Premier told the Senate In a 70-mlnute speech: 1. Statements of good intention from the east are not a sufficient guarantee of security for western Europe; and 2. Italy would welcome United States troops to guard its northeast frontier if the North Atlantic Treaty Organization decides to transfer them here from Austria, from which the Big Four ttowers are moving their occupation forces. "The Atlantic pact and the Western European Union are the cardinal points of our foreign policy," Segni said.

"We are not inclined to take into consideration systems of security that are based solely on statements of good intentions." Segni said Italy could not con sider its northeast frontier secure merely because it faces "neutral or friendly states." "Twice in this century," he said, "we have seen aggressors strike violently through treaty-guaranteed neutrality." The Premier denied repeated Communist charges that United States Ambassador Clare Boothe Luce meddles in Italy's internal affairs. Singling out one man, Segni said: "I cannot let pass the accusa tion made by the Hon. Vlrgillo Nasi against the person of the diplomatic representative in Rome of the United States for presumed interference in the internal politics of Italy. I make clear that these repeated accu sations are unfounded." VACLAV NOSEK, VETERAN CZECH COMMUNIST, DIES VIENNA, July 23 (AP) The Prague radio last night reported the death of Czechoslovakia's Labor Minister Vaclav Nosek. He was 62 years old.

The broadcast gave no details of his death. A longtime Communist, Nosek was the only member of the present Czech cabinet who held a seat in the wartime exile government in London. As Interior Minister In the first postwar government, he played a key part In the Communist infiltration which resulted in his nation's takeover by the Reds. He built up the secret police machine and also directed the government campaign to control the Roman Catholic Church. Nosek was switched from the Interior to the Labor Ministry in a sweeping government shakeup in 1953.

Civic Plaza Planned to Include Police Head-quarters, New Court Building, 3-Tier Park-ing Garage. Recommended expen ditures under the proposed St. Louis county bond issue today had risen to $57,426,000 from the $40,000,000 estimate of a week ago, and there were indications the amount might go still higher.

County Supervisor Luman F. Matthews said the citizens' bond issue screening committee bad "done a good job," but that the $36,500,000 expressway and highway program suggested by a subcommitee should be "more comprehensive." "The total cost may be a lot more than they have planned," Matthews asserted. He said also he was going to ask the committee to consider an item of $2,200,000 for acquisition and development of a 596-acre secondary airport southwest of Kirkwood. Under the proposal the existing Weiss Airport on the south side of U.S. Highway 66 west of the Mera-mec river would be the nucleus of the development.

Police Headquarters. Meanwhile, the subcommittee on public buildings decided last night to add $2,753,000 for a county police headquarters building to the $7,673,000 proposed last week for a 10-story civil courts building atop a three-tier parking garage across the street south from the courthouse. The total thus would be for construction in the present courthouse area in Clayton. The subcommittee also agreed on an alternate and more modest proposal for $8,674,000 for a 12-story structure on the same site to house both civil courts and related offices and the police headquarters. i Under plans for the separate structures, the two-block area bounded by Forsyth boulevard and Central, Bonhomme and Meramec avenues would become a courthouse plaza.

Carondelet avenue, between the two blocks, would be closed. The police building would be at the south or Bonhomme avenue end of the plaza and its size and architecture would make it balance the present new courthouse which faces on Forsyth. Between these two structures, with its center on what is now Carondelet avenue, would be the 10-story civil courts buildlne. The three buildings would be connected. The south half of the plaza, now a parking lot, would be used for the parking garage, which would be underneath both the police and courts buildings.

Areas around these buildings. above the garage, would be land scaped. Based on Population Rise. Carroll J. Donohue, attorney, Olivette board chairman and subcommittee chairman, said the broader recommendations were based on estimates that the county's present half-million plus population would rise to perhaps l.uuo.uuo in 10 years.

Plans for the police building Were based on a study of St. Louis police headquarters, and took into consideration that the recently created county depart' ment might ultimately serve the entire county, including the municipalities. The courthouse structure, also planned with a heavy population increase in mind, would have eight circuit courtrooms, eight magistrate courtrooms and four rooms designed for ultimate court use when needed. Also in the new building would be such offices as the sheriff's prosecuting attorney's, circuit clerk's and public administra tor's, and also the probate court. Space not required initially for county purposes could be rented to state and federal offices and revenue from these and also from the 1250-car ga rage would make a substantial contribution toward paying off Missouri Illinois Forecasts Missouri: Partly cloudy to night and tomorrow with wide ly scattered thundershowers tonight; fair in south and central tomorrow; cooler in north to night and in north and central tomorrow; low tonight 65 to 70 in extreme north to 70 to 75 in south; high tomorrow 80 to 85 Sn northeast to around 90 in southwest.
