I 'COURT DIDN'T END IT ERS Report Indicts Racism In Schools A report released Monday by the Educational Resources Center, formed from the MississipTeachers Association and "several community is a sweeping condemnation of desegregation efforts--from federal court levels to local classrooms. "This study attempts to point out some of the factual data demonstrating that racism has not died just because a court ordered school desegregation, is the gist of it. "Such data is (sic) indicative of the underlying attitudes toward children and learning held by those who control the SDX Hits Firing By Governor BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The firing of a Jackson newspaperman's son from a state job on orders of Gov. John Bell Williams was "nothing more than indirect intimidation of the press," Mississippi's professional journalism society charged Monday. The statement came in a resolution released by the Mississippi Professional Chapter of Sigma Delta Chi on the firing of Jeff Minor, 22-year-old son of Wilson F.

Minor, Jackson correspondent for the New Orleans Times-Picayune. At the same time, Fayette Mayor Charles Evers made public a telegram he sent Williams in which he branded the act "Hitler treatment." The younger Minor was forced to resign his post as a State Tax Commission auditor last week after Williams said he had not approved his employment. Minor had worked as a part-time commission employe for two summers. Minor's father charged the dismissal was the result of a professional disagreement he had with Williams which brought about the exclusion of the newsman from Williams' office. The resolution adopted by Sigma Delta Chi, which earlier blasted Williams for excluding Minor from his office, said a link between the two moves could not be questioned.

"We officially deplore and condemn the actions by the governor of this state in dismissing Mr. Minor's son, who was well qualified by experience and education to fill the position 1 he held with the state tax commission," the resolution said. "We consider this nothing more than indirect intimidation of the press by Gov. John Bell Williams, who has barred Mr. Minor from his office (and) we deplore any such attempt to punish a reporter in the free exercise of his job." Evers, in his telegram, urged that Williams reconsider the action.

"I can understand you destroying the beautiful front lawn of the mansion," Evers said. "I also understand you are using taxpayers' money to build a senseless fence around the mansion. "But, I never dreamed I would see the day when the governor of our state or any state would stoop so low as to take his personal hate of a fellow Mississippian and use it against the son by firing him from a job which he was doing for the state of Mississippi." Williams has refused to discuss the dismissal of the younger Minor with newsmen. Dr. Patterson Dies Monday In Rosedale ROSEDALE -Funeral services for Dr.

licy, the report charges, "relegates many black children to inferior ciassroom situations." The main objection to "white flight" is when whites retaining control of decision-making, "a dual system both controlled by the same people." According to Clark's group, the state has 270,000 black students and 260,000 white students in the public system, as well as the 40,000 students in private, segregated schools. The main point of the report is that numhers of students and teachers and principals should coincide with the population levels. The report also complains about white leadership: "It appears that the state has lost about half of its visible black leadership from the public schools and that most black children will now grow up in a visibly white-controlled world." It also complains that white teachers have left the predominantly black schools, but on the next page objects, "In majority black districts the percentage of black teachers in every case is less than the percentage of black students. The report also objects to "tracking" situations where the black teacher is isolated with black students "branding them as The report goes on to discuss the problem of the black student who finds himself in the minority: "Many students justice (be they school board members of (sic) the President of the United States) be immediately prosecuted for conspiracy to deny persons of their civil merely find themselves in a new world with no black anchors to hang if the whites are non-racist in their treatment. black students have a hard time adjusting." The Educational Resources Center takes the position that when discipline was tightened "as part of their sales pitch to whites, whom they hoped to keep in the public schools" that this discipline which was somehow good for whites is bad for blacks: "The integrity of black students is compromised by rigidity of discipline." The report demands "that those have participated in this failure to obey standards of CROSSWORD PUZZLE ACROSS 1 Product of a mollusk 6 In the midst of 11 Illiterate 13 Beast 14 Greek weight 15 Term in solo whist 16 Pronoun 17 Epoch 19 General (ab.) 20 Rodent 22 Three-toed sloths 23.

The report claims this is more than 40 per cent of Mississippi black school children.

It lists 7.000 black students i in schools "re-segregated" by freedom of choice, 33.000 by zoning, 15,000 by "tracking" and 62,000 by "white flight." Most of the schools where zoning, 15,000 by "tracking" tion, the report claims, are small towns or rural areas which bus most students anyway, and where, no "additional busing" would be required to even up numbers.
