N.Y. SCHOOL PROTEST:
W ite Boycott Cuts Attendance
NEW YORK (I)-More than a
million youngsters were summon-
ed back to New York's public
schools yesterday, but attendanc
was cut by a parents' boycott
against the busing of children tc
achieve racial integration.
The board of education reported ;
275,638 students absent from class-
rooms-some 175,000 above the
normal 10 per cent absenteeism on
an opening day of school. The fig-
ure for yesterday was 27 per cent.
White parents' groups which
sponsored the planned two-day
boycott had predicted 250,000 pu-
pils would take part. Last winter
racial integrationists kept almost
half the 1.05 million students away.
in one boycott and 267,000 away
in a second.
Citizen Protest
The boycott was called to pro-
test a board of education pilot
plan for speeding racial integra=
tion in public schools by busing
some children away from their
regular neighborhood schools. Pa-
rochial schools with 375,000 at-
tendance were not involved. '
Abstenteeism in the handful of
paired schools whose pupils were
bused ranged from 18 to 65 per
cent. By contrast, however, Har-
lem schools, which are predomi-
nantly Negro, reported normal at-.
tendance. And at non-affected P.S

NASA Delay
Gemini Project
CAPE KENNEDY, Fla. (A) -
The National Aeronautics and
Space Administration made it1 of-
ficial yesterday that there will be
no manned flight in Project Gem-
ini this year because of lightning
and hurricanes..
It said astronauts Virgil L.
Grissom and John W Young will
wait until the first quarter of
1965 to make their planned three-
orbit flight. This means a delay
of a month or .two from the De-
cember schedule.
George E. Mueller, NASA asso-
ciate administrator for manned
space flight, gave three reasons"
for the delay: a lightning strike-
that damaged a Titan 2 rocket on
Aug. 17 and hurricanes Cleoand
Dora.,
The rocket was being groomed
for the final unmanned flight in
the Gemini program, an attempt
scheduled for late September tc
propel a fully-equipped spacecraft
on a ballistic .ride to exaluate re-
entry and recovery techniques.
white, hardly a pupil showed up.
and classrooms stood empty.
The boycott threatened the cite
with a $2.2 million loss in state
aid. It is based on daily attend-
ance figures over a prescribed
.period of time.
State Aid Loss
School Superintendent' Calvir,
Gross said a technicality would
spare the city any penalty for the
opening day boycott. But he add-
ed that if it is repeated today,
as planned, the loss in state aid
could result.
The New York Times reported
that both candidates in the sena-
torial election in New York have
come out against the long-dis-
tance busing feature of the board's
plan.
Robert J. Kennedy, the former
U.S. attorney general, made his
opposition clear during statewide
campaigning last week..Sen. Ken-
neth Keating (R-NY) reiterated
his viewpoint on television Sun-
day when he said: "I'm against
long-distance busing" because it
is compulsory,
Board members reportedly is-
sued heated reports against the
candidates for turning an "edu-
cational matter" into a "politica?
issue."
Wagner Stays Out
At city hall, Mayor Robe3't F
Wagner reiterated his opposition
to the boycott but kept hands off
He told newsmen:,
"There is nothing I can do at
this point s ..,It is in the jurisdic-
tioni of the board of education."
There is no legal segregation
in New York public schools. How-
ever, neighborhood racial pat-
terns make some schools nearlyt
all-Negro and Puetro Rican an
others virtually all white. There
are over 400,000 Negro and Puertc
Rican children in the system.
. In response to growing pres-
sure from civil rights groups, the
board of education this term
launched a pilot plan to exchange
pupils between certain heavily Ne-
gro schools and. heavily white ones
in the same general area.

Smear TacticsE
On Goldater
WASHINGTON (A') - The Re-
publican National Committees pro-
tested formally yesterday what it
called horror-type television cam-
paign commercials being used b3
the Democrats to "smear" Sen
Barry Goldwater.
GOP Chairman Dean Burc~
specifically singled out to Charles
P. Taft, chairman of the fair
campaign practices committee, e
slot commercial which he and
other Republicans had complain'
ed about informally last week.

background counts down and a
nuclear explosion is shown at
zero. A phrase by President Lyn-
don B. Johnson from a speech i.

Johnson's election in November.
Burch said this is an attack
on Goldwater "designed to grousc
basic emotions and has no placf
in this campaign."
He said there had been thou-
hands of complaints throughout
the country about the commer-
cial.

For This Afternoon
WASHINGTON ()-Opponents
of a controversial proposal to de-
lay for a year or more court-or-
dered reapportionment of state
legislatures reached i n f o r m a 1
agreement last night on a com-
promise substitute.
Its acceptance by the Senate
would smooth the passage of Pres-
ident Lyndon B. Johnson's $3.3
billion foreign aid bill, and re-
move a major obstacle to ad-
journment of Congress.
It will be submitted today fol-

ferences which ironed out the spe-
cific language. A vote is schedul-
ed for this afternoon.;

The reapportionment battle ha
been raging recently over a pro-
posal by Senate Republican Lead-
er Everett Dirksen. This measur
seeks to hold up reapportionment
of seats in .both houses of state
legislatures on a population basis
as prescribed by the Suprem
Court. It has tied up the Senate
for more than a month.

In a strategy to avoid any presi-

In an effort to break the stale-
mate, Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey
(D-Minn), his party's vice-presi-

tute to make it "the sense of Con-
gress" that the courts should al-
low "adequate time"to the state

or allow the voters to pass on a
constitutional amendment by ref.

Sen. Paul H. Douglas (D-Ill),

DETROIT (i') -- The United
Auto Workers were still awaiting
an economic offer from the Ford
Motor Co. last night before decid-
ing whether to set a strike dead-
line in negotiations over a new
contract.
UAW President Walter Reuther
told newsmen earlier in the day
that Ford was doing some "home-
work" and the union was standing
by.
Both Reuther and Ford Vice-
President Malcolm .Denise, the
company's chief negotiator, ex-
pressed hope as they entered the
meeting that an agreement might
be reached without the pressure of
a strike deadline.
Reuther said that if "meaning-
ful progress" is being made at the.
bargaining table, there would be
no necessity for setting a time
and day by which a settlement
must be reached to avoid a walk-
out of some 125,000' Ford workers,
The UAW chieftain said he
would settle for nothing less than
the economic package negotiated'
last week with Chrysler Corp.
This included pensions of up;
to $400 a month as an early re-
tirenment incentive, longer vacas-
tions, two added holidays, increas-
ed medical and hospital blenefit
and other fringes.
The Chrysler. agreement also.
called for an increase- in relief
time for some workers from the
present 24 minutes a day to 3E
minutes.
Tr~ditionally, the first settle-
ment reached in negotiations sets'
the pattern for the remainder of
the auto industry.
The current three-year contract
between Ford and the UAW orig-
inally was due to expire at the'
end of last month. But it has
been extended until 12:01ge a.m.
Tuesday by mutual agreement.
