1000 White Pupils Boycott 4 N.Y. Schools In Protest Against Forced Integration IN PINELLAS COURT Henry Trafficante's Second Trial In Bribe Case Opens I their children would return to school tomorrow carrying their own lunches. This was a reference to a board of education ruling that the transfer would be provided with lunches because of the distance they have to travel. Local children normally go home for lunch, so their parents have demanded equal treatment on lunches. Harlem Boycott Fizzles Meanwhile, a threatened mass boycott of schools in Harlem that would have involved about 40,000 Negro Children failed to materialize.

Negro parents had charged that white children received transfers to schools in the exclusive Riverdale section of the Bronx from overcrowded Harlem schools, but that Negro children had been turned down. They also charged that Harlem schools had "inferior" equipment and "second-rate" teachers. Although the boycott did not occur, the parents of about 200 Negro children said they would take them en masse to a junior high school in Riverdale Wednesday to demand that they be registered. The disputes occurred as about 1,500,000 youngsters went back to classes for the start of the new school year.

Tampa (Downtown Gandy Blvd.) St. separate QfojU defending Trafficante, concentrated his queries on whether or not the jury would give any credence to the testimony of a witness or witnesses shown to have lied. "If the case boils down to depend on the testimony of one witness, who you believe deliberately told a falsehood, and you are not sure of the reliability of his other testimony would you hesitate to toss out all his testimony, give this defendant the benefit of a doubt, and vote not guilty?" Moral Character Raised He also asked each jury candidate if he would "determine very carefully the be-lievability of a witness who has exhibited a lack of moral character in the conduct of this case." B.

J. Driver, assisting State Attorney Clair Davis in the prosecution of the charges, hammered back at Hawes' line of questioning by asking each prospective juror if he would insist on some evidence of lying rather, than depend on being told so with "flowery words." Chief witness for the state is Det. Sgt. Harry F. Dietrich, of the St.

Petersburg police, who allegedly received $1000, two suits, two cases of whisky, and a television set as "gifts" from Trafficante early in 1954. Dietrich testified in the first trial that he had received those gifts, and also a new car, while playing an undercover role in the operation of a bolita racket operating in Hillsborough and Pinellas Counties. Although both Henry and Santo Trafficante were convicted here of the car bribery offense, neither will be retried on that charge because a Tampa circuit court jury found them innocent of the charge. Estreatment Issue The question arose, at the outset of today's proceedings, of whether or not Santo estreated a $10,000 bond by not appearing in court today, even though there are no longer any charges pending against him here. Although it had been agreed not to try the Trafficantes on the charge involving the car because it would constitute double jeopardy, the charge had apparently never been officially nolle-prossed.

Hawes and Whitaker argued for me in the first election to remain steadfast and I sin-should examine the business cerely solicit the votes and support of those citizens who were with the other candidates for the office of mayor." Poses Question Lane said in a later radio program that "there is a question I want the voters to ask themselves in selecting a mayor. That is: 'Which of the candidates would I choose to manage my personal When mayor, I intend and sincerely promise to conduct the city government with integrity, with courage and with intelligent vision. "You citizens can have good city government if you want it. But to get it, you must vote for it. If you don't vote on Sept.

22, you are not being fair to yourself, your family, your friends and your city. "Don't let the mayor's office go by default. If you vote, Julian Lane will be your next mayor." Appeals To City Workers Directing his remarks toward city employes, Lane said "in order for city government to be successful it must not only have the loyalty and efforts of the mayor, department heads and city employes, but it must also have the trust, confidence and support of the citizens. Furthermore, there must be confidence and harmony among department heads and employes." Lane promised public recognition of the services of employes and added, "I will strive to make it clear to them that the security of their jobs is dependent only on loyalty and efficiency to their jobs and there will be no political sword hanging over their heads. The retention of their jobs will not be conditioned on the way they vote." Hits ACL Claim Talking about Nuccio's remarks concerning purchase of 4.4 acres of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad's downtown riverfront property, Lane said "he doesn't tell you very much about the fact that the city has purchased only enough land for an auditorium but none for parking.

"Also, the mayor doesn't tell you that it probably will be 1963 before the city even will be able to take over the property." At the radio rally held by Lane, the candidate devoted most of his speaking time to Nuccio's proposed budget, calling it "ambiguous" and a "financial sleight of hand" effort by the administration. (Continued from Page 1) beaches for you as well as for us. It's just a lack of planning and a lack of caring that has kept this administration from giving them to us." More Negro Policemen He told the group he felt the police force should have additional Negro policemen. Also, the candidate continued, Nuccio has provided municipal services in areas such as Interbay "where he was weak" while letting streets and other municipal needs in areas such as the one where he was meeting "go untouched." "In the past 32 years," Lane said, "all he has done has been for the political gain of Nick Nuccio. Replying to a question, he discredited as "one of the malicious rumors" a report that he would close the Negro Rogers Park, saying "we are going to make it better." Talking about Nuccio's campaign spending, Lane noted "he was getting desperate during the final days before the first election a week ago.

That was why his final campaign spending report shot up to the incredible total of $60,000. And remember, that is what he reported spending." Since that election, Lane said, "our workers throughout the city report to us that the Nuccio people are spending money wildly in a desperation move to keep his one-man government in city hall. That is only further proof that the people of Tampa want Julian Lane for mayor because of my promise to give them a business-like administration unfettered by the spoils system and always open to public scrutiny." "Favored Cronies" Lane added that "I don't think the thousands of good people of Tampa will let this man buy his way back into city hall. I feel certain they realize that if they did so they would be doing nothing more than voting for a four-year term of the political crony system. My opponent has shown Tampa in his three years as mayor that he has favored his friends and cronies in city purchasing and there is every reason to believe that this practice would be continued if he was elected to another term." Earlier in the day, Lane repeated his appeal to "all of Tampa's voters" to cast a ballot in the run-off race.

"The issues are more clearly defined now," he said in his appeal. "The voters qualifications of both candidates. I urge those who voted NEW YORK. Sept. 14.

(LTD More than 1000 white students staged a one-day boycott of four New York public schools today in protest against the transfer of Negro and Puerto Rican children into a predominantly white area. White parents picketed outside the schools. Large signs readings "blacks go home" appeared in front of one school About 300 transfer students were brought to five elementary schools in Queens in six special buses from the Bed-ford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn, an area of slums and a high rate of juvenile delinquency. Only one of the schools in the Ridgewood-Glendale section of Queens reported a normal attendance on the first day of school. The number of white absentees was nearly 50 per cent of the total enrollment of all of the five schools.

No Incidents Repotred School officials and police, assigned to maintain order, said there had been no Incidents. None of the transfer children was molested while entering the schools. School officials said the transfer students would have to commute an average of three and one-half miles on the buses. The boycott climaxed a dispute that began during the Summer when the board of education announced that the transfers were to be made because of overcrowding in Brooklyn schools. Parents in the quiet, residential section of Queens charged that the transfer amounted to "enforced integration." They claimed that there were empty schools in Brooklyn that could be repaired and used to ease the overcrowding.

The school board stood firm despite protest meetings in Queens and picket lines of white mothers who marched in front of city hall. The picketing parents said Churchill, 84, Announces Again For Parliament LONDON, Sept. 14.

Henry Trafficante, 34-year-old Tampa truck driver, today went on trial for the second time in circuit court on bribery charges stemming from alleged dealings with a St. Petersburg detective to protect a bolita racket in that city.

He, along with his brother, Santo Trafficante, faced identical charges in September of 1954, but won temporary freedom when the State Supreme Court set aside convictions returned by a jury. Attorneys for the defense and for the state toyed with the selection of a six-man jury for over four hours as the retrial of the case got under way before Circuit Judge John U. Bird today. Recesses For Night Judge Bird recessed the trial until 9 o'clock tomorrow morning after the jury plus one alternate had been agreed upon and attorneys met briefly in his chambers to map out a course of procedure for the trial. The slightly built, bespectacled Trafficante listened intently as prospective jurors were questioned in great detail by both sides throughout the morning and afternoon sessions.

16 JACKSONVILLE, Sept. 14 (JP) U. S. District Judge Bryan Simpson today postponed the trial of Santo and Henry Traffi cante until Nov. 16.

The cases originally were set for Sept. 21, but Pat Whitaker of Tampa, attorney for the Trafficantes, asked for a continuance because trial of a five-year-old bribery case against Henry Trafficante began at Clearwater to day. The cases, which also involve 29 other persons, charge the de fendants with conspiring to evade payment of the federal gambling tax. All of the defendants have been arraigned and pleaded in nocent. The charges were made at Tampa in 1955.

The cases were transferred to Jacksonville after Whitaker charge spectacu lar and sensational publicity given the cases in the Tampa area made it impossible for the Trafficantes to receive a fair trial there. and Trafficante will be retried on the charge here next week. The huskv. ruddv comDlex ioned Hawes did the bulk of the talking for the defense in court todav. but Whitaker.

with his arms waving, bounced out of his chair several times to put in a word or two. In all 17 prospective jurors were turned down by the judge and attorneys. Both the state and the defense came within one man of the maximum number six that they may excuse Judge Bird told the jurors they will have to remain to gether throughout the duration of the trial before releasing them to the custody of the sheriff today. He warned them not to talk about the case, not to read about it, and not to listen to any radio or television account of it until they have reached a decision. Jurors Selected The jurors selected include Howard L.

Without mentioning Lane's name, he referred to him as "a persons so uninformed on municipal affairs" he makes statements "not in the best interests of a growing city." He said his opponent repeatedly had made statements in answer to public questioning that he would "eliminate frills in the city government" and that he considered Bay-shore Blvd. beautif ication, sidewalks, and Fairyland as frills. Nuccio added that Lane "definitely mentioned" these as frills, despite the fact the sidewalks were constructed for the "protection and enjoyment" of children, and despite the fact Fairyland, "an outstanding attraction for children, citizens and tourists," had won national publicity and was called "the Disneyland of the South" by one national magazine. "But today, because of the public reaction, he has made a turn-about-face, and is now saying those things are assets to the community and he will continue them," Nuccio declared. "Not Informed" Nuccio declared that Lane had made another statement "showing again he's not informed" by saying he would, as mayor, complete the Jose Marti shrine in Ybor City.

"The Marti shrine is owned by the Cuban government," Nuccio continued, and the city has no control over it. But I have been taking steps to determine if the Cuban government will deed this shrine to the city so the city can complete its development, because we feel that the relationship between Tampa and Cuba is very close, and the city would be most happy to honor the patriot who did so much for the liberation of Cuba." Nuccio said Lane also had been "very critical" of his administration's proposal for a botanical garden adjacent to the new police station, but there are many phases in city government and beauty and culture are among the most important. To Follow Course "As your mayor, I am going to continue expanding our beautification and cultural programs," Nuccio added. In regard to sidewalk building, he said he wanted the people to know that every square foot of the 38 miles of sidewalks built while he was in office was at the request of Parent-T eacber Associations and school officials, and their construction would continue until all schools were thus provided, and the children protected. Nuccio praised City Parks Supt.

B. B. Bradley as "fully qualified, and with a creative and said he had cooperated fully and to the best of his ability with all the garden clubs in the city, "City Of Parks" "I am certain that within the next four years, when our beautification program is completed, Tampa will be known as a city of beautiful parks," Nuccio declared. He labelled as "ridiculous" a Lane campaign advertisement showing a closed door with the sign "Mayor's Office" emblazoned upon it, and charged it was "another fraud" of both "The Tampa Tribune and my opponent." "I'm hoping and praying that our citizens will not be misled by The Tribune and such advertisements, and I want to say that any public statements made by me are statements that are documented, and not heresay or rumor," Nuccio continued. "Open to All" He went on to say that his office had a "plain glass panel" with no lettering upon it, and since he's been mayor "it has been open to all comers" with or without appointments, and would continue to be open as long as he is mayor.

Nuccio asserted that, in his 32 years of public life, the many opponents running against him had "never yet dared reflect" on his honesty and integrity, "nor has any group or organization accused me of not being capable" of meeting the responsibilities of the mayor's office. Upon taking office, he said he had appointed a committee of 18 "outstanding citizens" to consult with him on city projects, and that he was "most grateful" to them for their guidance and the time and effort they spent toward making Tampa a greater city.
