School Integration Turmoil Boils In Mansfield, Tennessee; Goes Off Smoothly In Southern Ohio Town By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS A. handful of Negroes went to school in Clinton, Tenn.

under protection of troops Tuesday while Texas Rangers and a crowd of anti-segregationists eyed each other outside a Mansfield, Tex. school where mob-backed racial barriers appeared- to be holding. Nine of 12 negroes registered in the Clinton High School slipped quietly into classes in the little east- Tennessee town. They did so under the eyes of National Guardsmen weary from a night of'quell- ing an incipient race riot in the nearby. village of Oliver, Springs.

No crowd gathered around, the school but, in fear, of violence or iiv'passive protest, only about a third of the school's. 796 white pupils appeared for classes. the school doors opened, a U.S. read from the school steps, an 'order, putting 'the entire population of Clinton under court injunction it to interfere with peaceful Integration of the school.

While white children walked through the crowd, Ranger Capt. Bob Crowder said "we are not expecting any trouble. I do not think any Negroes will try to enroll." Later, Crowder expanded this statement to say that any Negroes who did attempt to register would be transferred at once to some other scool districts "for safety reasons." He said this was in line with the recommendations of Gov. Allan Shivers. PRIEST RESCUED Ail Episcopal priest, the Rev.

D. W. Clark of St. Timothy's Church, Fort Worth, was rescued by a Texas Ranger in Mansfield when he walked into the mob to call for "Christian action," He was not harmed and no one laid a hand on him, but the demon- strators began arguing violently with him. The Rev.

Mr. Clark, In clerical street dress and without a hat, walked' into the crowd without interference. In answer to reporters' questions, he said, "I canie down to see what Is going on. I am surprised there has not 'been more Christian action demonstrated," The crowd quickly gathered around him. "It comes as a shock that churches are not more willing to help in this situation," he said more to the demonstrators than to newsmen.

The 'crowd began shouting at him. 'One member shouted, "There'd be'less people in hell if preachers kept out. of this." Another shouted, "Why did God make 'em he wanted us all to- geiher, he'd have made us the same "I'm Strictly a peacemaker." the Rev. Mr. Clark, said, Then he God had com- nfanded man''to Ibve'His' neighbor.

One man exclaimed, "who is our Another declared, "Niggers belong in Africa." The priest's 'mouth was shaking, and he was tightly clasping h'is hands, apparently In anger. At that point, the crowd's cries became louder, and Texas Ranger Sgt. Jay came through the crowd very quietly, took the priest gently by the arm, and said, "I think we'd better go." He led the priest off the school grounds. SMOOTH INTEGRATION In sharp contrast to the turmoil in Texas and Tennessee, inegra- tlon'was carried out without a ripple of difficulty' in Hillsboro, a town of 5,100 in southern Ohio. Some 60 to 70 Negroes began in two elementary schools with around 850 whites.

The integration came in peaceful climax to two years of litigation started toy the school board's refusal to integrate pending completion of new buildings. More than 70 schools in West Texas have been Integrated without serious incident but Mansfield is the first in East Texas to face integration under Federal Court order tracing to the Supreme Court ruling which outlawed, racial segregation.

SAYS SILENCED PLAN TO STOP RED! 0, MILTON KELLY WASHINGTON, AP Retired Ambassador Angus Ward says that because of a State Department superior's "directive," he withheld from Secretary of Defense James V. Forreslal in 1048 his Ideas on how to combat communism's spread In China.

Ward said he felt at the time that "1 had prostituted myself" by obeying Instructions from an official he did not name for the public record. He added that he later learned Porrestal did want the Information he held and was "disappointed" In their talk, attended also by President Elsenhower as Army chief of staff. The former diplomat did not say how he thought the Red Chinese could have 'been stoppd. Ward said In testimony for the Senate Internal Security subcommittee that at that time "there seemed to be a reluctance on the part of those State Department, oflclals with whom I spoke, under tho level of- undersecretary of state, to have affairs on China discussed frankly." Ward's unsworn testimony was taken 'by subcommittee counsel Rober Morris In New York last Wednesday, shortly 'before Ward left by ship for a European tour. It was officially made part of the subcommittee's record today.

IN MANCHURIA At the time of the 1948 Incident, Ward was U.S. consul general In MUkden, Manchuria, but was In Washington for consultation with his superiors. After he returned to Mukden, the Chinese Communists" overran that city, and Ward and members of his staff were held under house arrest for a year and then Jailed, for two months on a bread water diet before being expelled: from the country in December 1949. Ward said, Forrestal sought the conference in January 1049. Ward said Forrestal sought the conference' in January 1948 after he had met Forrestal at a luncheon.

A couple of hours 'before he was too see Forrestal, Ward related, he was summoned to unnamed superior's office. "I was informed that what Mr. ForreaCal interested In learning was im tent of the demoralization flfflept the Chinese Nationalists, the of the corruption and that kind." he said. "I had had several talks with this official previously, and While we had mentioned these matters, my principal remarks to him wars the exposition of- my thoughts oft the ways In which we could help the Nationalist government of China to better its chances in the war against the Communists and thereby is chances 6f survival. "Naturally I was completely perplexed when I was imoifffiea that Secretary of Defense Porrestal was not at all Interested In this phase of my remarks." He said he considered the superior's remarks were a tlve" binding him to co remarks to the area the ofHSla had mentioned unless he resign.

He said he told William lilt, a former ambasador sla, about It and Bullit' later talked with Forrestal. said he was told that the secretary had expected that Ward would express his views freely, and was disappointed because he did not do.so. Ward told also of an about January 1045 involving another unnamed State Department official. He said he told the official, that Russian plans were "expftttslon- ist" the Soviets not be content with of a line approximately running from the Baltic to the Adriatic."

Nasser has rejected international control of the canal he seized July 26. Nasser met with Foreign Minister Mahmoud Fawzi and his No, 1 political adviser, All Sabry. Sabry was in London as an observer during the Suez conference thai, Egypt refused to attend. The Australian legation was In contact with diplomatic rdpresen- tatives in Cairo of the 18 nations supporting the International control plan drafted by Secretary of State Dulles.

The Menzies committee spokesman took time to label as nonsense rumors afloat In Cairo that Menzies had handed Nasser an ultimatum. "The atmosphere of the talks has been friendly with no sign of any hostility from either side," the said. STORM CLOUDS Despite the announced cordiality of the meetings, storm clouds still hung over French and British military stores poured ashore at the British island base of Cyprus, 230 miles north of the Mediterranean entrance of the canal.

He is John Thornton 40, a British employe of the Prudential Life Assurance of Cairo.

Three other Britons already were in jail, charged with masterminding the ring. Most of the others arrested are Egyptians, The British embassy advised wives and children of its staff to leave Egypt unless they had compelling reasons to remain. Already more than 1,400 British civilians and more than 1,000 French have left Egypt because of the Suez crisis. more apprehension, the British- French military buildups in the Eastern Mediterranean. A'steddy strenm of military supplies poured into Cyprus, where the French were sending thousands of paratroopers, foreign legionnaires and air force units, with British permission.

The British also have built up their garrison in the Mediterranean Island colony only 250 miles from Egypt. The problems of pilots to guide ship convoys through the tricky currents of the Suez Canal rose again. Only about 50 of the 205 Suez pilots are Egyptians. There were reports from Paris that the British and French pilots employed by the old canal management would quit in a group Sept. 15, or earlier if the Menzies mission failed.

The Suez Canal confirmed that it has sent the pilots secret new instructions but declined to specify what they were. If the pilots quit, Suez shipping might be brought to a standstill.
