Seven school teachers and their principal all Negroes won the right, last week, to be rehired by the Arkansas school board which had fired tiiem ratlier than allow them to teach white children. This victory, which struck down a pattern in many southern communities, which agree to integrate Nsi" pupils, was won by attorneys id the N'AACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc. (LDF). It was decided here by three judges of the U.S. Court of Appeals lor the Eighth Circuit.

The suit was brought by Clement S. Smith and Margaret Sanders, teachers at L.V. Sullivan High School for Negroes in Murrilton, Arkansas, and the Arkansas Teachers Association, of which Mr. Smith and Miss Sauders are members. The Association is the professional organization which represents most of the Negro teachers in Arkansas.

Specifically, the Court ruled that the Defendant Board of Education reinstate the Negro teachers if they are interested in returning to the Morrilton district. A teacher wishing to return "shall tlien be offered the first position for which he Is so qualified in which a vacancy now exists or he reaf ter occurs," the Court ruled. LDF attorneys alsowondam ages for the teachers, thus entitling them to the back pay lost by their dismissal. The Appeals Court concluded its opinion stating it was "grate ful for the able oral argument and briefs submitted by counsel." LDF Assistant Counsel Michael Meltsner handled the case with assistance from Director Counsel Jack Greenberg and have the task of enforcing the law against dissatisfied people." Subsequently, he said, "we emerge as the object of hostility and hatred." Sensitively concerned with this current public image of the "cop," the FBI in Western Pennsylvania and west Virginia is sponsoring a series of seminars, offered for policemen only, which are Intended to help officials counteract the adverse publicity received over arrest tactics and constitutional rights. According to James E.Treh er, FBI training co ordinator for the Pittsburgh district, "policemen are the salt of the earth." "We get a bad apple once in awhile, but people who are comfortably asleep In their beds at night give much thought to the officer outside who Isn't making as much as the garbage man.

Believe me, policemen are real heroes In our society today." This current lecture series, however, Is merely a continuation of many educational programs offered by the agency, or by the Pennsylvania State Police, the State Department of public Instruction or the Pittsburgh Police Bureau. Suburban police especially try to attend these refresher courses and do so despite public apathy and lack of funds. .4," son Nashville, lenn con James Nabrit, HI in New York City. LDF Cooperating Attorneys John W. Walker and Harold Anderson of Little Rock and George Howard, Jr.

of Pine Bluff also participated. LDF lawyers have won similar cases in behalf of Negro teachers in North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia. Another case is still pending in Texas. It was Director Counsel Greenberg who first brought the plight of the southernNegro teacher to public attention when tie announced in May of 1965 that 500 North Carolina Negro teachers were about to lose their Jobs as schools integrated. LDF litigation has done much to contain that "trend of wholesale dismissal emerging throughout the South" that was cited by Greenberg at that time.
