Nine Negroes Enter
Schools Without Incident
ATLANTA (A*) — Nine Negroes
entered four previously white
schools under strong police pro
tection and without incident to
day, ending a century of school
segregation in this deep south
city.
There was no major disturbance
at any of the four high schools
involved. A dozen or more city
policemen stationed at each school
prevented crowds from forming.
Eight persons were taken into
custody for failing to move on.
Five of the eight were charged
with disorderly conduct by in
terfering with the operation of a
school.
Four high school students of
the Atlanta area also were sen

and two to 30 days.
School officials reported attend

Approved School
Budget Covers All
Allowable State Aid
JUNEAU UPI — Alaska’s incorpo
rated school districts were ad
vised July 29 how much state aid
they would receive during the
1961-62 school year, Dr. Theo
Norby, Education Commissioner,
said Tuesday.
Norby said the prorated amount
each school district would receive
in state aid was mailed to the in
corporated districts.
The approved budget covers all
allowable state aid under statute
and regulation. Payment of the
total amount of aid provided for
in the approved budget is depend
ent on the availability of funds.
Norby said the approved bud
get for the 29 incorporated school
districts totaled $10,596,299.27. The
I districts had asked for state aid
amounting to $10,691,207.08.
The amount of state funds actu
ally available, however, was only
$9,640,615. This amount prorated
among the 29 districts gave each
approximately 91 per cent of the
approved budget. In addition,
$257,195 was set aside in an emer
gency fund.
“In the past,” Norby said, “we
have found that only aproximate
ly 96- 97 per cent of the total state
funds available, including the
emergency fund, are adequate to
meet the approved budget, after
the final audit.
“It looks, however, as though we
might not be able to meet 100 per
cent of the approved state aid
budget for the school year start
j ing next month.”
Norby said the fact that the
amount of state aid available to
the incoiporated districts during
1961*62 had no relation to the
teacher salary increase voted by
the 1961 Legislature.

Attorney General Rules Legislature
Has No Power of Reapportionment
JUNEAU Cfl — The Legislature
does not have the right to break
election districts down into wards
or subdistricts under Alaska’s
Constitution, Atty. Gen. Ralph
Moody said yesterday.
In an opinion written for Doug
las Gray, chairman of the State
Advisory Reapportionment Board,
Moody said:
“To hold that the Legislature
has the power to subdivide elec
tion districts would be tantamount
to putting the Legislature back
into the business of reapportion
ment as far as such districts are
concerned.”
In a lengthy opinion covering
several subjects within the reap
portionment field, Moody also
said the Advisory Reapportion
ment Board has the power, “and
perhaps even the duty,” of sub
Ike Will Give Full
Support to Nixon
GETTYSBURG, Pa. UP) — For
mer Vicp President Nixon still
isn’t saying whether he’ll run for
governor of California, but if he
does, he’s assurd the full support
of his ex-boss Dwight Eisenhower.
“If Mr. Nixon wants my ad
vice about his running for gov
ernor of California, I’ll be glad to
give it to him,” Eisenhower told
newsmen Monday night as he and
Nixon stood on the lawn of the
General’s farm near Gettysburg.
“If he decides to run and asks
me to help him, I’ll do everything
I can to help him win,’* Eisen
hower added.
Nixon stood firm on earlier
statements that he will announce
s a decision on the California gov
r emorship sometime “betweer
Sept. 15 and Oct.” /
mitting a complete list of elec
tion districts identified by name
in an orderly fashion.
“If this requires a renumber
ing of election districts, then the
board has the power to renum
ber them.”
Moody also said territory may
be transferred from one election
district to another within the
local Senate district, “provided
that all consitutional require
ments for redistricting are met.”
“Under the present practice,”
Moody said, “a candidate both in
the primary and general elections
runs against a whole field of
other candidates; all he need do
is gather enough votes to win one
of the seats to which the district
is entitled.
“But a proposal to designate
seats would materially alter the
method of election by introducing
the element of candidates shopping
around for seats for which no
strong opponent is seeking nomi
nation and election.
“Also, the voter would be com
pelled in some instances to choose
between candidates both of whom
he favors because they happen to
be running for the same seat.”
