The city has about 1,200 Negroes and officials said 67 Negroes were enrolled in elementary schools. Some Negro children remained eway from school Tuesday. At Madison, W.

Some IS to 20 students went. on strike at Sherman high school: Seth. W. yesterday in protest against admitting three Negfs.

There are about 700 students ia the school. In the District of Columbia school officials took another step toward integration by permlttuig elementary pupils, now attending schools within old segregated boundaries, to transfer to schools serving new nonracial ones in which they live. New pupils this year already had been enrolled according to new interracial boundaries. School officials did not estimate the expected number of transfers. There was speculation that thousands might try to make a shift, including many Negro children who would seek to enter formerly all-white schools.

Delaware Gov. J. Caleb Bcggs declined comment. A scheduled parade featureing the Milford high school band was canceled. 1 School doors were shut yesterday after the school board learned of a protest march planned by antl integrationists.

Plans to reopen them were abandoned shortly after 8 a.m. today. Dr. Cobbs said in a statement: "Members of the Board of Education since making an earlier announcement have received numerous calls threatening violence in case any negro children attend school. In the interest of the safety of ill the children the board hereby serves notice that the schools are closed until further no Five policemen guarded the school and tension was reported mounting in the southeastern Delaware community.

Harry E. Mayhew. one of the four members of the school noard, resigned, but did not discuss the reasons for his action. There was no immediate decision as to whether 11 Negro pupils would be allowed to take up their high school studies. School board president Dean Kimmell said that in addition to the telephone calls, a delegation of citizens opposed to integration came to his home, about midnight Monday night and told him that some of their number had "gotten out of hand and there might be violence." Kimmell said the school board members were not threatened sA any time, but that the delegation indicated violence might take place if Negro pupils tried to enter the school.

At Hillsboro, a small southwestern Ohio city, Negroes planned to go to court in an effort to get their children into previously all white schoolrooms. Backed by the National Assn. for the Advancement of Colored People, Negroes expected to file an injunction in U.S. District Court in Cincinnati, the court whose jurisdiction includes the area where the schools are located. Hillsboro officials said, however, that there was, no School segrega ty Th Aisociated Prut Telephoned threats of violence led to the "Closing of two public schools again Tuesday at Milford, possible court action loomed at Hillsboro, Ohio, and a strike of white students continued at Madison, W.

Clement (Continued From Page 1) to other tations "the popularity of America is at its lowest ebb." "You cant buy. the friendship of the world," he stated, "to win a friend you must be a friend." "We have tried everything else in attempting to bring peace and prosperity to the world," Clement said, "why not try prayer." Earlier Clement had high praise for Sen. Hill as well as for the late Hank Williams. Speaking of "Hill the governor said "the people of Tennessee are very proud and very indebted to Sen. Hill for the fight he led in preserving the TVA." Clement called Williams one of the creators of the "institution of folk music." "His life is positive proof that a country boy with a good mother and a good background but with no chance to succeed can become a great success through work," the governor said.

"Hank is gone but he will always be remembered by what he left behind." Clement was introduced by Gov. Persons. The only other speaker on the program was former Gov. Davis, who got tremendous ovation when he led the group in singing the song which be wrote and made famous, "You Are My Sunshine." dent, served as master of cere monies for the program Tennessee Governor Comes To City In Jet Frank Clement, who was elected governor, of Tennessee at the age of 32, has always been a fast mover as his political record well indicates. But he did some of his fastest moving yesterday, getting big assist from the U.S.

Air Force. Gov. Clement was scheduled to fly from Nashville to Montgomery yesterday morning for the Hank Williams Memorial Day program, but at the last minute the plane in which he was to ride developed mechanical troubles and was grounded. The situation looked hopeless until the Air Force came to the rescue.

Seated with her on the Air Force which served as a tempo rary platform were many of the country music stars who sang and cried at Hank's funeral just 20 months ago.

The ceremony yesterday was brief and simple, marred only by Jhe popping of flashbulbs and the whirr of movie cameras, as dozens of amateur and professional photographers recorded the scene from all possible angles. At the funeral last year 20,000 people pushed and shoved to get 3nto the city auditorium. It took hours for Hank's fans to walk single file past his grey casket Some of his best friends in the Jilllbilly music business sang from the stage of the city auditorium.

YOUR HEALTH By E. U. Milhous Saf.

Many timei the expression is heard, "It is better to be safe than sorry." So it is with health. Be prudent Don't over-indulge. Avoid dissipation. Be safe. One important safety measure is to take care the spine.

Remember that the spinal cord runs through the spine, the source of 1 of nerve impulses for millions nerve fibers radiating to every part of the body. Remember that a displaced, verte bra in the spine, causing pressure on the spinal cord, may interfere with the free flow of these essential nerve impulses. Accidents and falls should be followed by a visit to your chiropractor to assure yourself that the spine is in perfect alignment, Don't wait because many illnesses can and do result from a fall or accident If you are not enjoying good health and can't maka up your mind what troubles you, see your chiropractor. Be safe. Be sure with chiro-practic treatments.

DR. E. L. MILHOUS 124 N. MeDonough TeL 3-6023 Chiropractor 10 THOSE GOING TO (Continued From Page 1) had a chance to debate the issue He said the proposal for postpone ment was out of order.

Krishna Menon Insisted the As sembly must await a report of the Credentials Committee for a debate on the whole issue. Mrs. Pandit ruled that the Assembly by de ciding to take up the Lodge resolution had decided what it wanted to do. The Soviet Union's first deputy foreign minister, Andrei Y. Vish- insky, made the same diplomatic maneuver as last year by raising the question as the session opened.

He waited enly until Mrs. Pandit had made her good-by speech as Assembly president. Vishinsky said the work of the U.N. cannot succeed until the Red Chinese are admitted. He formally that the Assembly oust the representatives of the "Kuom- intang as he described Nationalist China, and seat the del egate of Peiping.

Actually, no one was here from Peiping. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles listened closely to Vishin sky. Last year Dulles duelled with Vishinsky for many heated min utes but this time Lodge did the talking. First In Order Lodge declined to discuss the substance of the question, but pro posed that the Assembly decide not to consider during the current year any proposals to exclude the Nationalist Chinese or seat the Red Chinese. He then proposed that the Assembly decide to vote first on his motion, and the Assembly voted 45-7 to do so.

Vishinsky served notice later that his resolution still is on the record and predicted that some day the majority of theAssembly would accept it. He did not appear to fight as hard for Red China as he did last year. Some of the delegates apparently felt he was only going through the motions expected of him as an advocate of the Red Chinese. In the debate George Yeh, Nationalist China's foreign minister, denounced the Peiping regime as a puppet of Moscow. Since it came to power, he said, 15 million Chinese have been liquidated, 25 million have been pressed into forced labor and the regime has been repudiated by thousands of Chinese who were forced to fight for it in Korea.

Britain's Sir Pierson Dixon said that while his government has rec ognized Peiping it did not consider it wise to force a vote. He said debates on this issue would do more harm than good and would seriously peril the U.N. Richard Casey, foreign secretary of Australia, said the Communist Chinese have not followed the code of. conduct laid down in the U.N. charter.

If aggression had ceased, he asserted, the Assembly might have grounds to consider the Rus sian proposal. But he said Red China had fought in Korea, was interested in Indochina and now is attacking Quemoy, a Nationalist-held island off China. James Barrington, Burma, said he would vote to seat Peiping since his government has recognized that regime. Delegates of Poland, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia also spoke for seating Red China. Bradley (Continued From Page 1) met on three separate occasions to argue the case.

John Godbold and John Kohn represented the winning Bradley firm, Wil liam Inge Hill represented Vandigriff. In other business yesterday the commission awarded off-premise beer licenses to L. W. Warr for the High Street Sundries, 227 High Street, and to B. H.

Sanders for the Sanders Grocery, 3400 Mobile Road. The commission also approved a beer license for James Bethune for the Chicken Coop, 1457 Mobile Road. Also approved was a request for a chauffeur's license made by Charles Daniel Brittian. The com mission noted Brittian had a long record of drunkenness arrests, and instructed him if be were ever arrested again his license would be revoked immediately.
