WASHINGTON (P — Lead-
ers of the National Wom-
en‘s Committee for Civil
Rights have suggested that
white women take the hands
of Negro children and their
parents and walk with them
next fall into newly desegre-
gated schools.
♦ The committee was set up
after an appeal to women
by Prssident Kennedy.
• The “take a hand” idea
came from the 14-member
bi-racial steering committee
headed by Mrs. Mildred Mc-
Afee Horton, former presi-
dent of Wellesley College
and wartime head of the
Waves, and Mrs. Patricia
’Roberts Harris, Negro at-
torney who is associate
dean of students at Howard
: University.
: After a meeting Wednes-
!day, they told a press con-
2ference “this type of sym-
„bolic action” would demon-
2strate the concern of wom-
len for children caught in
2racial problems.
I Many schools will be de-
segregated this fall, said
Mrs. Harris, and women's
organizations could spark
a movement to "take the
hand of the parent and take
the hand of the child and
walk with them into the
building. '
She recalled recent scenes
of Negro children and their

start, police did not bother
the pickets unless they
blocked entrances. No ar-
rests were made until each
demonstrator had refused an
order to move
Those who walked to pad-
dy wagons after arrest were
charged only with disorder-
ly conduct. Those who had to
be carried drew' the addition-
al charge of resisting arrest.
The clergymen, most of
them Negro and wearing
clerical garb, began Thurs-
day’s demonstration with
prayer.
Expected Jail
Before the group moved
across the main entrance to
the Downstate Medical Cen-
ter and stood massed before
a cement truck waiting to
depart, one of their number
told reporters the ministers
would submit to mass ar-
rest.
“They'll be In jail before
9 am.,” he added.
Rev. Augustus Jones jr.,
coordinator of the group of
ministers sponsoring the 15-
day-old Brooklyn demonstra-
tion. said the clergymen pri-
marily were protesting al-
leged union discrimination.

chairman Meade Miller did.
All three members voted
for it.
Under the pattern estab-
lished several years ago, the
county will receive nearly 7
mills, city schools 5 mills and
cities 3 mills of each 15
mills in county revenue.
The county government al-
location includes 3-10ths of
a mill earmarked by the leg-
islature for crippled children
and the state audit. These
earmarked funds will total
$135,180 this year, Mattox
said.
Cuts Required
Substantial slashes will be
required in the city and coun-
ty budgets to fit the funds.
The school budget also
will have to be cut, but part
or all of the reduction like-
ly will be made up from oth-
er revenue sources during
the fiscal year, Mattox be-
lieves.
The county’s estimated
needs total $4,423,471, but
only $3,964,113 is available
at this time. Its starting
budget will have to be pared
by $459,358.
Oklahoma City’s estimat-
ed needs total $20,469,826
and only $13,536,043 can be
appropriated by the board
now. This will result in a
cut of $7,393,141.
City officials told the ex-
cise board Wednesday that
$14,962,000 is in sight from
miscellaneous revenue, sur-
plus funds and a 3-mill tax
levy.
The excise board can ap-
propriate fully city surplus
funds but cannot appropri-
ate more than 90 percent of
expected miscellaneous rev-
enue and tax revenue.
The 10 percent reserve ac-
counts for the difference be-
tween "in sight" revenues
and the amount the board
