Special Court Session TO Handle Segregation Crisis

By DOUGLAS B. CORNELL

WASHINGTON (APJ—Jllhe Su- preme Court Monday set up a special session for Thursday- five days before a crucial dead- line ._ to consider the school segregation crisis at Little Rock,

rk.

AIn one of its rare, off-season terms—the fifth in four decades ...me tribunal must determine whether to allow or forbid a delay in racial integration at Little Rock. /

The high court is up against . Sept. 2 deadline for reopening of schools in the Arkansas cap- ital. Violence broke out there a year ago when nine Negroresen- rolled at Ccntnal High School un- der 3 federal court order calling for desegregated public schools.

The impending Supreme Court decision has sweeping implicaé tions. it is expected to provide the first guidance on desegrega- tion methods and timing since

the court outlawed racial seg-

regation in public schools more then four years ago and ordered desegregation to proceed with deliberate speed.

It 'also will have a direct bearing on integration in Norfolk, Va., schools, which begin the fall term Sept. 8. ;

ASKS RECONSl-DERATION

In Norfolk, Federal Didtrict Judge Walter E. Hoffman Mon- day told the school board to re- consider the rejected applications of 151 Negroes who asked for admission to white schools. He ordered the board to report by next Friday.

Hoffman has said he wouldn’t order Norfolk schools deseg- regated if the Supreme Court per- mits a delay in Little Rock.

At Little Rock, members of the state legislature assembled for a special session beginning today. Governor Orval Faubus, 'who called it, has three segregation

bills ready.

Retired U. S. Officer Gives Talk On Okinawa And People

"Okinawa and its- ple” was

the subject of an addr by Ma- jor Edwin D. Bowman, United 'states Army (retired) at the weekly luncheon meeting of the Rotary Club held at the Char- lottetown Hotel yesterday.

Major Bowman recently spent ‘two years in the Pacific on an project with the Uni- ted States Marines and makes his home in Arlington, Va. He is visiting the Island, the guest of his brother-Iin-law ‘John Finlay MacLeod. Roy MacGilli- vray and Don ‘IIartin' were co- ohairmen. .-

’ Major Bowr; 21 described Okin- awa as .the largest island in the group. about 60 miles.long and ,‘20 miles wide with mountains in It] interior but entirely surround- ed with beautiful beaches where "the people lived, The roads are excellent and communications exceptionally adeqquate. There are 1,000 Islands in the nange, some being only projecting rocks. There were 14 cars and three ‘buses there when the U.S. forces took over and the tnaive diet con- sisted of boiled sweet potatoes and roots and fish.” Probably they had never seen a loaf of white brea ”, Major Bowman said. ,\

isoME IMPROVEMENTS .

_,: Describing some of the im- gprovements in the four larger

,ltowns, he told how solid con-

jcrete houses with all modern con- ;veniences had replaced the hovels A 10 x ~12 room is large enough "for a family among the million natives. “Living out of doors for nine months of the year and un- der shelter for the threemonths of the monsoon season” rs rouhne. All food is prepared in a single pot overlda'c fire and is ten co .'

eaThe natives are particularly sensitive to cleanliness and bathe several times daily. .

' The U.S.A. forces are an

omic factor and there are no in‘ dustries. Whaling has been de- veloped the extent that 400 were tak last year up to 40 feet long. The U.S. govrnment has set up handicraft teaching with success,

“One industry has been opera— tive in a family for six or seven hundred years —-— that of lac- queribg, with 500 artisans par- ticipating in the making and de— corating of salad bowls with mother of pearl etc," Major Bowman said.

“There are 200 miles of two and four lane paved highways, five 2-storey buildings, seven 6- storey buildings and six large theatres in this area which was an oversize village in appear- ance a few years ago." ’ RESPECT FOR OLD

Great respect is paid to aged people who do no work after reaching the age of 70 years and are kept by their relatives. At 30 they move freely anywhere without restraint and, a few years-later they may even enter a store and take anything with- out charge. ‘ I

Several modern departmental stores are stocked with products from all over the world.

An 8 million-dollar hospital now urtdei~ construction by the U.S.A. will be handed7 over to the local people when completed“ Native girls are being given nursing in- struction now in anticipation of being employed. The people on Okinawa are very happy, Major Bowman concluded.

The speaker was intmd-ucedby Roy MacGilyIlivray and thanked by Don Martin.- ’ "

ion with the visit of the Interna- tional Youth Assembly, and ex- tended his remarks to include
