Winstead (D-Miss.) today expressed concern that the administration's proposed national Army Reserve program might force Southerners into racially integrated units. The program as outlined, Win-stead told a reporter, "will not work in the South" and "might cause trouble." Winstead is a member of the House Armed Services Committee which will handle the reserve legislation.

Somewhat similar bills have been proposed by the administration and by the American Legion. To assist him with the 70 Doys on the roll book. Bob has George Everett and Alvin Davis as assistant Scioufmasters. The troop is split up into 6 patrols, with their leaders as follows: Flaming Arrow, Jimmy Farrell, patrol-leader; Bob White, Billy Webb Franklin, patrol-leader; Flying Eagle, Matt Dale, patrol-leader; Wolfe lead by Mike Anderson: Greenwood Leflore with Rav Wells as leader; and Secretary jof Defense Wilson has described the draft as essential to maintain the strength of the armed services. The measure was approved 32-0 by the House Armed Services "Committee last week.

The court's ruling today said that the negro pupils were admitted by the board without prior approval of the Delaware State Board of Education and therefore had no legal authority. The decision reversed a finding by Vice Chancellor William Marvel in Chancery Court last Oct. 19 that said the negro pupils were entitled to attend classes at the Milford school.

Their admission and attend-nce touched off a boycott by a majority of the white pupils and caused the Milford board to resign. Another board was subsequently appointed and the negro pupils were ousted from the school that south-central Delaware town and are now attending classes at all-negro schools at Georgetown or Dover. The ruling today said the U. S. Supreme Court decision banning segregation in schools had the effect of nullifying Delaware's segregation laws.
