Funeral services are to be held in Beckmann Funer Policies, But Not Uniformly 6 3 if5- FREDERICKSRURG, March 3 (CTS-Mrs. William Marschall, 86, daughter of the founder ot Fredericksburg, died late Friday at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Homer T. Love in San Antonio.

Mrs. Marschau, the former Emmy Meuscbach, was born at New Braunfels on June 6, 1869. Her parents were of German nobil ity but became American citizens shortly after their arrival here in 1846. Her father was the former Ottfried Hans Freiherr von Meuse-bach; her mother the former Countess Agnes Coreth of Tyrol. Hpr father Americanized his! name to John O.

Meuscbach and is acclaimed as one of the great colonizers of Texas. His famous treaty with the Indian tribes of West Texas, on March 2, 1847, by which the settlement of a vast area of the state was accomplished, stands as one of the most successful peace overtures in colonization of the United States. Mrs. Marschall vividly recalled the stories of the colonization as told by her distinguished father. She was married to the late William Marschall in Llano County Oct.

3, 1894. They resided at Cherry Springs until their retirement from ranching when they removed to Fredericksburg, Marschall preceded his wife in death Sept. 22, 1938. Mrs. Marschall is to be buried in the family cemetery at Cherry Springs where her husband, parents and other members of her TUT intricate patterns.

(Adv.) ot Gellman's BUY NOW AND SAVE FOR EASTER LADIES' SHEER CLEAR NYLONS tion of the state school districts were desegregated at the start of the fall term. Permitted A great many school boards are actively preparing for integration. That possibly is why the NAACP has not gone to court vigorously in this specific fileld and since the Supreme Court decision indicated the court did not believe that all schools should be integrated immediately. Athletics: Not much notice has been paid in recent years to state laws against Negroes and whites competing against each other in athletics on the professional and college level. Negroes are prominent on several professional baseball teams and mixed boxing and wrestling match es are permitted.

At schoolboy levels, there have been some cancellation of games where integrated schools were scheduled to play all-white schools. These have been few. The Inter-scholastic League, the czar of state school athletics, ruled that it would permit "Negroes to compete for schools which have been white in the past and which have integrated. But it has no admitted schools to membership that were all-Negro in the past and might become desegregated. And for the first time in the 60-year history of the southwestern exposition and fat stock show rodeo at Fort Worth, a Negro participated.

He won, too. Willie Thomas took first place in Brahman bull riding. However, he was far down in the money for the rodeo on a whole. Parks Row Recreation: Opening of public recreation faci lities to all races has begun, but not everywhere. Formerly whites-only city golf courses at Fort Worth and Dallas and other places have been opened to Negroes.

There is little if any pressure to open city swimming -pools to Negroes. As late as Feb. 3, Corpus Christi Negroes were asking "separate but equal" pools. State parks are another matter, and the NAACP is bringing strong pressure to make them available to persons of its race. The State Parks Board felt required to deny a report that it was delaying its program of building swank resort lodges because segregation in parks was under fire.

A group of NAACP leaders called on Atty. Gen. John Ben Shepperd to ask his aid in lowering the color line hower, Queen Elizabeth of Britain, and other leaders of the 35 to 40 nations with which this tiny principality maintains domestic ties.

Shepperd issued a statement a few days later that was non-committal on the specific issue but said, "no court has ever held there must be forced integration" of the races. Travel: Again the picture is mixed. The Interstate Commerce Commission has ordered that there be no segregation of passengers on trains, buses and airplanes traveling from one state to another. It also ruled against segregation in depot and terminal waiting rooms.

The "white" and "Negro" signs came down in many depots and terminals but not in all. No Test On city buses, the NAACP fight against segregation may be more difficult. The attack is strongest at the moment in Austin, where a Tillot: son College student was arrested, fined, appealed and saw the case dismissed for lack of evidence. The segregation question did not receive a court test. Churches: Although--Div- Criswell has opposed integration, other church groups have approved it.

The Baptist Student Union at the University of Texas has pledged its support of racial integration "in every phase of our student (religious) program." Negro students for the first time were invited last year to attend the annual meeting of the Texas Baptist Student Convention at Baylor University. And for the first time in its 100-year history, the Brazos Presbytery of the Presbyterian Church last Jauary elected a Negro, the Rev. J. H. M.

Length. Bt ROBERT E. FORD The Associated Press It's now more than six months since Negro children sat down with white children in Texas public schools for the first time. It was an historic moment. Forces fighting segregation called it the greatest breakthrough for personal freedom since emancipation.

Shocked segregationists called It an illegal decision, forecast that a breakdown of Southern culture and way of life would follow. Historic though it was, the school decision is only one part of the whole racial question. Not. within the memory of this generation has the issue caused such violent reactions, split so many groups, been so bannered in newspapers. Just where does Texas stand on segregation 10 months after the US Supreme Court acted May 17, 1955? Survey There's no one answer.

Persons with the same general viewpoint coultf "reach differing coneusions about what has happened. An aggressive member of the National Assn. for Advancement of Colored People might say Texas desegregation so far is too little and much too slow for his liking Another, more moderate desegregation advocate could point to partial elimination of segregation in scores of fields as. the trickle which could wipe out the racial dam. A survey of segregation in Texas covering the last year or less points to two significant developments: 1.

Integration is taking place in Texas in many public and semi-private fields, but slowly and certainly not over the whole range of the issue. 2. The NAACP hasn't lost a Texas college or university desegregation fight yet in the courts. While these changes were going on, integration forces suddenly faced battle on two new fronts last week. Unexpected Gov.

Allan Shivers, who up to then had taken no strong, positive action to preserve segregation, announced strong support of interposition. This is a legal theory which in effect claims the federal government is unconstitutionally stepping on states rights. It could nullify the Supreme Court decision, some think. Probably the most unexpected blow to integration forces came from Dr. W.

A. Criswell, pastor of the huge, rich and influential First Baptist Church of Dallas. Probably no pastor in the South has as much influence on Southern Baptists, and Baptists form a great segment of the region. Dr. Criswell said integration is "a thing of idocy and foolishness." He was speaking of integration in churches.

And quick to say he spoke only for himself. But it would be beyond reason not be believe that the many thousands who consider him a spiritual leader will not weigh his remarks in forming their opinions in all fields of segregation. NAACP Busy Some other Baptist pastors and ministers of other denominations disagreed with Dr. Criswell. Dr Blake Smith, pastor of the Uni- versity Baptist Church in Austin, was one of four speakers to withdraw from a recent religious emphasis program at Mississippi State College because they were asked not to say they favored integration.

The NAACP was not idie last week, however. As. Gov. Shivers and Dr. Criswell were speaking, it started a drive for 22,000 new Texas members.

Strong language has been uttered on both sides of the question. But it is to the credit of Texans, both Negro and white, that no violence has occurred. All recent incidents involving whites and Negroes have been well investi gated and authorities repeatedly have denied that racial tension was the cause. The slaying of an officer of a dor mant NAACP chapter in'South west Texas had some of the earmarks of a racial issue murder. Investigation proved that another Negro killed him because of a family feud and for money.

Pattern Here are some of the fields and occasions in which segregation patterns in Texas are changing: The NAACP has forced state col. leges and universities to accept Negroes in every case it has fought. An estimated 17 public colleges and universities in Texas now accept all races. On the other hand, Texas Southern University at Houston, a state school for Negroes, did not vote until Jan. 10 to admit white students and integrate its faculty and administration.

At that time, the school had one application for admission from a white student. The NAACP won its biggest Texas test of integration of public schools below the college level in the famous "Big Spring decision" last fall. In that decision, upheld later by the state Supreme Court, Charlie Sullivan ruled that elementary and high schools which integrate may receive state financial aid the same as segregated schools. Wording of the state aid law had brought up the question. After that, all questions of a local board's rights to integrate appeared to disappear.
