Strom Thurmond—has apparent

administration that the forced
integration of school students
and faculties is not conducive
to quality education.

was filed against the local
school board HEW has sp<>nt
too much time and too much
money whipping Neubrm into
compliance to allow the board
to now on its niorr'. \\a\ with
no light.
The supporters of tho iau.out
