Atlanta working
on new school plan
ATLANTA (UPI)-The U. S.
sth Circuit Court of Appeals or
dered the Atlanta school board
Thursday to bring its pupil as
signment plan in line with recent
Supreme Court rulings calling
for cross-town busing to achieve
racial balance in schools.
School officials said they were
“not surprised” by the ruling
and said they had been working
on a new desegregation plan
that would be ready to submit
to the court “in a relatively
short time.”
The sth Circuit ruling threw
out the current plan and ordered
the school board to devise a new
one encompassing the principles
in the April 20 landmark case of
Swann V. Charlette-Mecklen
burg (N.C.) Board of Educa
tion.
Specifically the appeals
courts directed the board’s new
plan to require the City of
Atlanta to provide free tran
sportation and classroom space
for students wishing to transfer
from a school in which they are
in the majority race, to a school
in which they are in the
minority.
“The decision of the court is
really not anything other than
what the system has been ex-
pecting for some days now,”
said Atlanta School Supt. John
Letson.
In attempting to assess the
meaning of the circuit court’s
decision, school board Chairman
Dr. Benjamen E. Mays said
“what they are trying to tell
us” is that the school board
must deal with the problem of
overcrowded schools.
The decision, he said, means
the board must provide free
transportation to students being
transferred from overcrowded
institutions to schools where
there are vacancies.
Another board member, Dr.
Asa Yancey, blamed the prob
lem on housing patterns in At
lanta which have left most of
the black population living in the
south end of town and most
whites in the north end.
That, combined with a 70-30
ratio of black students to whites,
has left the school system with
about 104 schools that are either
virtually all-black or virtually
all-white.
“It is very difficult to argue
that the system is integrated
when this situation exists,”
Yancey said.
A great
place to
hang your

person died early today of
injuries suffered Thursday

Orleans” passenger train der
ailed near here at 90 miles an
hour.
Authorities said Mrs. Clara

guidelines on merger
ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. -
(UPl)—The mostly-white South
Georgia United Methodist Con
ference, which has twice voted
against mergin with the all-black
Georgia Conference, took a step
doser to that goal Thursday.
The conference adopted a res
olution that directs Bishop John
Owen Smith of Atlanta to ap
point a committee “to provide
guidelines” for possible merger
with the black group.
The resolution was offered by
Dr. G. Ross Freeman of States
boro and seconded by Walter
Harrison of Millen, who said he
approved of the move because
it did not commet the conference
to merger in any way.
The conference, which has
145,000 members, has twice de

Central Railroad, jumped the
tracks, sending seven passenger
cars and 206 persons sprawling
along the right-of-way.
IC officials said a locked
wheel on the lead diesel caused
the derailment.
Authorities said it was the
nation’s most deadly rail
mishap since 1962. Three of the
dead had not been identified by
early today.
James Law, Illinois superin
tendent for the IC, said late
Thursday the derailment was
caused by a locked rear wheel
on the lead engine.
ference and the Georgia Confer
ence have both approved a mer
ger plan which will take effect
June 21.
In other action, the conference
adopted a resolution giving
broader representation to wom
en and young people on boards
and agencies, and another op
posing the sale of liquor on
Jekyll Island and in state parks.
The resolution urged the resi
dents of Jekyll Island, who re
cently voted in a referendum to
legalize the sale of mixed drinks
on the island, to rescind their
decision.
It also rebuked Gov. Jimmy
Carter for not coming out
against liquor sales on the is
land. Carter had previously stat
ed that he had no authority to
halt the liquor referendum, al
though he said he did not think
the referendum was a good idea.
The malfunction was not
noticeable to the engineer, Law
said, and the train traveled
bout a mile and a half with
the wheel locked. This built up
a “false flange” or ridge on the
wheel, he said, and when the
engine went over a coupling,
the wheels left the track.
Henry Haney, the engineer,
then “cleared the clock”—
railroad parlance for pulling
the emergency brake, Law
said. But by that time the
brown and (range cars were
piling up and flying from the
track.
Dick Gordon, a truck driver
from Salem, 111., watched as
the lead engine “started
weaving and from then on it
was a blur of dust and dirt as
the cars left the track.”
Barbara Bennington, 20, a
college student who was in the
dining car when the accident
occurred, said, “The train
jerked about three times and
then we were rolling like we
were in the air. I thought I was
dead but then I got up. I didn’t
even feel anything at first.”
