ent of schools refused to grant
transfers to 21 white chihlren
from the Rrcadia school district
following a hour's conference in
his office Wednesday on the
grouna that the request for trans-
fers violated the law One of the
patrons requesting transfer is a
resigned member of the board
Grady told his conference that
he was trying to uphold the law
on Integration and all of their re-
quests violated state end federal
laws on that subject Grady gave
three legal reasons why he could
grant transfers: (1) topography
of the neighborhood in question
(2) health of the child accom-

Electric Power Suppliers Have Ma lor Role In Nation-Wide Civil Defense Test July 12-14
Cities in Oklahoma to Be "H" Bomb Targets
Less than six weeks from today July 12 the faces of more than one city in Oklahoma
will be disfigured by hypothetical bursts of hydrogen bombs marking the beginning of
Operation Alert 1957 the nation-wide civil defense test said the state civil defense direc-
tor Tom Brett today
Swarming in from the north an aggressor force of aircraft will assimilate hydrogen
bomb drops on nearly 100 cities through out the nation dealing death and destruction
numbering in the hundreds of thousands of lives commented Brett
If such an attack were the real thing one of the biggest tasks would be the restora-
tion of electric power facilities

When Annexation Move Fails
NEW ORLEANS—The National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People "has been the greatest anti-!
Communist organization among Negroes since the Com-
munist party first began its efforts on the race problem
in the Twenties" Roy Wilkins executive secretary de-
clared here as a mass meeting of the Association's New
Orleans branch
In his first appearance before
a Louisiana unit of the Associa-
tion since injunctive proceedings
were instituted against the organi-
zation in March 1956 the NAA
CP leader on May 26 domineeri
a state legislative committee lor
its "Communist smearing of the
NAACP" The committee held
hearings in March "allegedly for
the purpose of discovering the
forces responsible for racial ten-
sions in the South" Ihm ever Mr
Wilkins charged the hearings cere
held for "the sole purpose of link-
ing the NAACP to the Commun-
ist party"

(3) failure of the district where
the child was assigned to teach
the grade and type of work the
patron wanted his child to secure
One of the patrons said he want-
ed his child transferred because
the enrollment at the Arcadia
school was largely Negroid and
that his child was being denied
social advantages in not attending
an all-white school
Two of the protestant s are teach-
ers in the Luther schools and they
stated they were unable to attend
social functions at Arcadia and
wanted their children along with
them
"None of your reasons for want-
ing transfers conform to the law
and I am attempting to uphold the
Supreme Court decision on this
subject so your requests will be
denied" said Grady
The Arcadia school has been in
turmoil for the last two years de-
spite the fact most of the white
parents have accepted integration
and everything is moving along
nicely It is the only school in
Oklahoma known to this writer
which is integrated as to school
