Gov Donald Russell's public luncheon at the Governor's Mansion Tuesday attended by both Negroes and whites may become an historic point in South Carolina's race relations The invitation to "the public" was a clear one reiterated from the inaugural stand at the Capitol by both Mr and Mrs Russell The paper-plate barbecue served on the Mansion grounds was without incident as visitors sat and stood in the cold to eat and lined up to walk through the old white building that was once a military academy More than 100 Negroes tended It was the first time such an integrated and publicized event had taken place at the initiation of a South Carolina governor Coming at the outset of Russell's administration the event takes on much more significance It was accepted by political leaders as a clear sign of Russell's attitude toward race relations which have been strained since 1954 Within days South Carolina may face its first court-ordered integration of a state-supported college A decision is now hanging-fire in the Court of Appeals Fourth Circuit in Alexandria Va on the admission of a Negro architectural student to Clemson Another suit has been filed to desegregate the University of South Carolina which Russell headed for six years as president in the 1950s Three Federal court cases are pending against public schools in Charleston Clarendon and Darlington counties These cases will be decided during Russell's administration As governor of the state Russell will help shape its policy which has been for segregAtion His campaign statements on segregation were to the effect that he would uphold the state's law Russell's only reference in his inaugural address to the school integration problem (See MORE Page 11A) A mbidextrous By CHARLES if WICKENBERG Governmental Affairs Editor Complete Text on 12-B Donald Stuart Russell became South Carolina's 81st governor since Colonial days with a solemn oath Tuesday dedicating himself to "the supreme challenge" of public education for a "world of exploding new ideas" Grinning broadly at his own excitement the 56-year-old former University of South Carolina president took the historic oath of office from US District Judge Wyche while Mrs Russell held the family Bible A crowd estimated at 7000 surrounded the cold stone north steps of the century-old State House as ranking state officials sat on the bunting-draped platform in a chilling 40-degree wind The ceremony reached thousands of others throughout the state over a six-station TV and radio station network Taking office in the traditional ceremony were Lt Gov Robert McNair 1 Allendale State Treasurer Jeff Bates Secretary of State Frank Thornton (See RUSSELL page 11A) He pledged loyal cooperation with the United Nations Thant often skeptical of Tshombe's declarations in the past welcomed this one In New York he expressed hope that it will be put into effect prompty and fully "and thus bring an end to the conflict and destruction which have been needlessly ex- perienced in Katanga" Tshombe's capitulation came in the 19th day of a UN-Katanga war the third such conflict since he led his copper-rich province from the Congo after Belgium freed his former colony in 1960 Western diplomatic and economic pressures contributed to his downfall There was no immediate assurance that military operations will end Tshombe's white soldiers still talked of a lost skinmish Monday against a UN column at a Dikulwe River bridge about 60 miles east of Kolwezi But they appeared to feel the shooting was as good as over Nine cleared out of Kolwezi to Northern Rhodesia They probably will be followed by others A New York spokesman for the United Nations said UN military action at the moment was at a standstill but the troops 'ere preparing for the time when they could take over hope" He pledg with the Thant of Tshombe's past welcor York he e) will be put and fully "a to the con which have perienced ir Tshombe's the
