School Desegregation Case Ordered Reopened By Court The decision of a U.S. Court of Appeals, Dec. 6, requiring a District Court in Cincinnati to reopen an NAACP school desegregation case in that city is regarded by Robert L. Carter gen eral counsel of the NAACP as "a hopeful of future successful breaxthroughts." Mr. Carter says "Although the Court of Appeals did not find that racial imbalance by itself is Viola tive of the Constitution the Court ruled that evidence of harm to Negro students resulting from imbalance may be relevant to the issues. "Therefore while the decision presents obstacles which must be overcome, the focus of attention is on the issue of harm to Negro children. Concentration on that issue is essential in order to determine whether or not equal educational opportunities." The NAACP, represented by Mr. Carter, Assistant Counsel Lewis M. Steel and local Counsel Morris Muldrow, originally f the case in November. 1963. They charged the Cincinnati Board of Education with "running the school system in a manner harmful to Negro children and in violation of the 14th Amendiment" In June 1965 the case was dismissed alter trial by District Court Judge John Peak on the basis of lack evidence of intentional segregation. In June 1966 Mr. Steel argued in the Court of Appeals that the over Court had not determined whether in fact the Negro students had been harmed and had improperly anaivsed the evidence of intentional segregation. The Court of the case back to the Distirct Court allows Both side to present more on the issues and asks for new and detailed findings of fact. Some people always high in thanking God. E. B. Browning National Safety Council Lays Down Tips For Xmas Shopping In case you're going Christmas shopping during the next two weeks, the National Safety Council says the bestand saftest—time to shop is during the middle of the week and early in the morning. John P. Fleming, the Council's director of public safety, especially recommends that women who are taking children shopping shop during these less crowded times. Nothing that tripping and falling accounts for almost 90 percent of the accidents that Christmas shoppers have. Fleming makes these specific recommendations to the women who do most of the shopping: Allow plenty of time Avoid rushing and don't try to do it all in one day stop before you get tired. "Wear sensible shoes Save the extra high and spoke heels for parties. If you do wear heels, be sure that the lifts are in good condition. "Carrying too many bundles and packages may obscure your vision and throw you off balance Put them in one of the large shopping bags that are available in most stores. A large bag with a handle is much caster and safer to carry. "Keep your children with you at all times Don't allow them to wander in the store and don't leave them alone. If necessary hire a sitter and sho one. Warn children that escalators are not toys and that they should not walk. or play on or near them. "Remember that children become excited at the protest of Clause coming but that they also easily. Be considered of your younger shoppers.

Rhodesia Asks To Be Heard By Council Rebellious Rhodesia, in a letter to all 15 members, demanded Wednesday that it be heard at a Security Council meeting to consider sanetions against. Its white minority government. Britain requested the Thursday council meeting as a showdown in the struggle for the unilaterallydeclared independence of the African territory and the question of white or black rule for the potentially rich area. Lord Graham, listed as external affairs minister of Premier Ian smith's Government which declared its independence from Britain on Nov. 11. 1965 — a declaration not recognized by any government — sent the note. British Foreign Secretary George Brown meanwhile conferred with his commonwealth partner's, and the African powers mapped plans for the strictest type of economic freeze —out against Rhodesia. The Rhodesian note receipt of which had not been acknowledged by the United Nations, declared that Rhodesia had a right to be heard by the council when matters affecting it were under consideration. It added: "If Britain's application for sanctions is competent, it must surely follow that Rhodesia is an independent state and is entitled to be invited to present her case. "If Britain maintains that Rhodesia is not a state and the dispute between herself and Rhodesia is a domestic one there is no basis for the imposition of sanctions on Britain's application. How can a state impose sanctions on herself? Furthermore whether sanctions be imposed at the instigation of Britain or some other state now can sanctions be imposed on a part of a state."

"Police Brutality" Covers Many Sins, Conyers Avows "In today's usage, the term 'police brutality covers a number of sins committed against the public in the name of the law." today declared Congressman John Conyers, Jr., (Dem-Michigan) in a speech prepared for delivery at 7:30 p.m.. on Police Brutality at Stanford's Tressider Union "All toe often, the people most injured by the physical and psychological abuses of law enforcement officers are the members of the various minority groups in the nation's big cities." Convers told the conference sponsored by the Political Union of the Stanford Student Government "None of the police forces in our major cities is truly integrated because the percentage of minority group police officers is always much smaller than the minority's percentage of the general population of a given city. Since this is particularly true in the policy making levels of most police department, it is not surprising that a member of a minori— ty group may view the police department as an entity set up for the purpose of persecuting him. "This is only one of the reasons why most of the riots which have p our cities during the last were precipitated by police versus citizen incidents which outraged the community." said Conyers. "In some of the riot situations a specific action by policemen caused the rebellion on the part of righteously indignant citizens but in others, the sheer biternes and tension between the and the community was enough to spark an open conflict. "Another source of irritation to the community is the reluctance of police chiefs to penalize fairly those policeman who are guilty of brutality and injustice." continued Conyers. The only Negro member of the House Judiciary Committee which originates all laws revising criminal statutes and has general Jurisdiction over law enforcement. Congressman Conyers is also a lawyer who personally handed ma cases of police brutality prior to has election to office. " In too many cases." said Conyers. "guilty law enforcement officers are given only minimal punishment regardless of the nature of their offense. Only recently, a police lieutenant was fd a few hundred dollars and made to work seven days a week for six months for reading an unprovoked, unannounced and unofficial tear gas attack on a residence in my district. The men involved refused to take rest sibility for the incident, yet none of them were penalized. What is more absurd than making an already belligerent policeman work, seven days a week. This is a case of king an irresponsibly man a real threat." Conyers concluded with a reminder that good police - community relations are the responsibility of all parties. 'Both police officials and minority group leaders have to work constantly to try to erase the bitterness and prejudice which the two have for each other," said Conyers. "Not only do we need better pay and benefits to policemen, more officers from minority groups and wider recruitment of officers, but we must convince qualified men from minority groups that being a member of the police force is not by definition an act of disloyalty to the community."

In a speech delivered before the Rochester City Club, Mr. Battle added: "Some industries have already Joined the slum - renewal drive— and the early results indicate farreaching and happy implications for the ghetto, the general market and the industries themselves." The Federal official asserted that the Nation is now focusing on help for sum - area residents because of "a new and increasing nationwide awareness that the dignity of this country is a reflection of the dignity of all of its citizens." Painting a grim picture of what a bg - city ghetto is, Mr. Battle said "The ghetto has problems crying for solutions frustrations demanding expression and potentials pleading for fulfillment." He listed the following as some of the most urgent needs of these blighted urban areas: Schools that respond "positively" to children as they are. Health services that are "convenient, comprehensive and inexpensive" — neighborhood clinics where a sick person can receive treatment not just diagnosis. —Decent housing that would serve low - income families as well as be so appealing that persons to live in the city. — Brach libraries recreational facilities theaters concerts and museums. —Employment opportunities for its residents in their own areas. —Fast and inexpensive public transportation to other parts of the city. —An "infusion of differentness." people with different ideas and ba ounds who hold different job and present different images. Mr. Battle also outlines five general guidelines for meeting the special needs of big - city slum areas. The first step he said, "is to plan with the people who live in the ghetto — not only plan for or about but with. One of the biggest needs of the ghetto is to be included — to be involved."

Eisenhower Weathers Gall Bladder Surgery In Strong Condition For mer President Dwight D. Eisenhower's gall bladder was removed without complications Monday. Doctors said his condition was good and prospects for recovery were excellent. The 76-year-old General of the Army, who has suffered two Major heart attacks, was reported have undergone the one-hour, 45minute operation with "a normal response of the heart." Numerous gallstones were found in the gray, pear-shaped gall bladder but none had traveled to other parts of Eisenhower's body.

"The whole procedures was normal," a hospital spokesman said, indicating Eisenhower had come through the operation strongly.
