Burger, who wrote the majority opinion, said cross-district busing would be appropriate only where government actions promoted segregated schools throughout neighboring districts or where the district boundary lines between a city and its suburbs were gerrymandered to district, have been a substantial cause of dnter-district segregation This, the court ruled, had not been decided in the Detroit school case. II I "Specifically, it must be shown that racially discriminatory acts of the state or local school districts, or of a single school district, have been asubstantial cause of inter-district segregation," Burger said. "Thus an inter-district remedy would be in ordter where the racially discriminatory acts of one or more school districts caused racial segregation in an adjacent district or where district lines have been deliberately drawn on the basis of race," he said. In the Detroit area, where the city schools are more than 70 percent black and the suburban schools more than 90 percent white, the evidence presented so far, Burger said, showed that any acts of segregation by Detroit or state officials affected only Please turn to Page 8A, Col. 1 BY WILLIAM GRANT Free Press Education Writer WASHINGTON The U.S.

Supreme Court Thursday struck down the convtroversial cross-district school busing plan ordered by the late Judge Stephen J. Roth for Detroit and 53 suburban school districts. At the same time the court, In a landmark decision, sent the case back to Detroit federal court to devise a desegregation plan for the city of Detroit alone, without including the suburban districts. Voting 5-4 in a long-awaited decision that will affect school desegregation plans across the country, the court ruled that Roth erred in ordering a desegregation plan embracing both Detroit and its suburban districts without any evidence as to whether the suburban districts were ssegregated.

Nixon Support Day of Deb acies ates Next Step: Busing Plan For Detroit In Our son has been in and out of the hospital since he was born seven months ago. His sweat glands won't function and when it really gets hot he gets sick. Sometimes his temperature goes as high as 1(16. The doctor says he needs an air conditioner, but with hospital bills and everything we don't have the money Co buy one. Is there any way you can help? R.V., Pontiac.

Son won't feel the heat any longer, thanks to Bob Crawford, owner of Certified Refrigeration Inc. of Detroit. Crawford provided air conditioner for child's room to keep temperature at cool and safe level. Condition that causes sweat glands to malfunction is called congenital ectodermal dysplasia.

But don't get too red-faced over mistaking dead tailpipe for live cobra.

State Police Here is what will happen as the result of Thursday's U.S. Supreme Court decision in the Detroit school integration case: One of the 12 federal judges in Detroit will have to take over the case from the late Stephen J. Roth, who died two weeks ago. That new judge will be required to take "prompt" action to get a busing plan under way for all of Detroit's 300 schools. That plan, which probably will go into effect in 1975, almost certainly will call for each of the city's schools to have an enrollment that is about 70 percent black and 30 percent white, reflecting the ratio of blacks to whites in the general school population.

No suburban school system will be involved in that busing program. The Supreme Court left the door open for city-suburban school integration, and thus cross-district busing, under some circumstances, but it is unlikely there will be cross-district busing in Detroit in the foreseeable future. post in Pontiac sent skeptical trooper to scene after Action Line's call and officer reported brownish pipe coiled at bottom and sticking straight up did sorta look like reptile from distance.

Rep. M. Caldwell Butler, once a warm Nixon political supporter who was regarded as a swing vote on the committee, brought the second day of the panel's televised impeachment debate alive with a blistering attack on the president for "abuse of power fully without justification." Speaking rapidly, his eyebrows arched behind hornrimmed glasses, Butler declared: "There are frightening implications for the future of our country if we do not impeach the president of the United States." Four other members who previously were listed as undecided hinted Thursday they might join Butler. They were Reps.

1 Busing Decision Blocks the Drive For Integration BY WILLIAM GRANT Free Press Education Writer WASHINGTON The U.S. Supreme Court dealt a serious blow Thursday to the school integregation movement and to every major American city as well. The court decision in the Detroit case came down just 20 years and two months after the court first, started, in 1954, the long and often bitter road to school integration. IN THAT TIME, the legal barriers that separated blacks and whites in the old Confederacy have come down, and the schools of the South are more integrated than anyone ever dreamed, AP Photo Sale at Last I just attended Girl Scout camp and one of my counselors was a blind woman.

There is one substantial President to Slash Spending And Jobs to Stop Inflation THE QUESTION Detroit Police are writing fewer traffic tickets and making fewer misdemeanor arrests to show their disfavor with the police administration.

Do you believe that's a proper way for police to LOS ANGELES (UPI) Rejecting such econimic "shock treatment" for skyrocketing inflation as wage-price controls or a tax cut, President Nixon said Thursday night he has ordered a cut in federal employment and a $5 billion decrease in federal spending. In a speech before West Coast businessmen that was televised nationally, Nixon brushed aside demands from some economists for what he called "spectacular action" as a new round of wage and price controls, an income tax cut, deficit spending or an easing of credit. Acknowledging that "inflation is a major problem," Nixon nevertheless said such shock treatment "would be like pouring gasoline on a raging fire," adding, such steps to provide "short-lerm relief too often bring long-term grief." Instead, the president said, the answer to rising prices "lies in choosing a sensible, realistic course and sticking to it whatever the pressures "and that is exactly what we will do." Nixon said the cut in federal employes would be made on a attrition basis those leaving the government would not be replaced. NIXON FLEW by helicopter from San Clemcnte to deliver the speech the business and financial leaders at a Los Angeles Hotel. "We are on the road toward our goal of full prosperity, without war and without inflations," Nixon said.

"We're going to stay on that road." The president told the business leaders that "our strategy must have two elements mainly restraining demand in the short run and expanding supply in the long run."

Jaworski Asks for Tapes in Tivo Days BY CLARK HOYT Fret Press Washington Staff WASHINGTON Special prosecutor Leon Jaworski asked Thursday for a court order directing President Nixon to begin surrendering Watergate tapes within two days. Acting less than 24 hours after the Supreme Court said Nixon would have to give up the tapes, Jaworski declared that "no valid reason exists" why more than half of them should not be handed over "immediately." THE PROSECUTOR asked U.S. District Judge John J.

How do you integrate the 70 percent black schools of Detroit or Richmond, or Philadelphia or Atlanta? That was the question put to federal judges in a half-dozen metropolitan school integration cases. And increasingly, Judges such as the late Stephen J.
