day of selling a 17-year-old pub
lic school building at five per
cent of its original cost to a
private, all-white academy in an
attempt to frustrate court-or
dered desegregation.
The government motion, filed
in U. S. District Court in Atlan
ta, also accused the school
board of selling 20 desks and
chairs to the academy in Octo
ber in 1970 and a school bus in
January 1972.
Named in the motion were the
Baker County Board of Educa
tion and Baker Parents Inc.,
which founded the Baker Acade
my for whites. The academy be
gan operating in September 1970
and had an enrollment of 38
white students by May 1, 1971,
the government said.
The motion asked the court
to add the Baker County school
defendants to the Georgia state
wide school desegregation order
filed by the Justice Department
on Aug. 1, 1969.
It also asked the court to re
scind the sale of the elementary
school, to prohibit future sale of
real or personal property with
out court approval and to en
join tlie school board from sell
ing or leasing anything to the
academy and from taking any
actions which tend to frustrate
court-ordered desegregation in
the county.
The government said the
school board declared the West
Baker Elementary School as
surplus property and sold it in
March 1971 to J. R. Rhodes, a
trustee of tlie academy, for $6,-
500. The government said the
school was built in 1955 at a
cost of $125,000 and at one time
housed 265 students.
The school board also let the
academy use the Baker High
School gymnasium for games
and practice and its cafeteria
for a fund-raising barbeque, the
motion said.
“The growth and success of
Baker Academy can be attrib
uted, in part, to the aid and en
couragement provided by the
Baker County Board of Educa
tion,” the motion said.
Sale of the school building, it
said, “was an attempt to en
courage, aid, and facilitate the
continued segregation of chil
dren by race during the educa
tional process. In effect, the
board of education has attempt
ed to achieve by private means
that which this court has forbid
den by state means.
“Public officials in Baker
County have attempted to un
dermine the very existence of
the public schools. When re
quired to dismantle one dual
system, the board of education
has taken an active role in the
creation of a second dual sys
tem.
Burl Ives sued
for sl.l -million
LOS ANGELES (UPI)-A
New Mexico businessman sued
Buil Ives for sl.l million
Thursday, charging that the
actor-folksinger broke verbal
agreement to back a string of
franchised “Burl Ives Wayfar
ing Campgrounds.”
Roger Cunningham of Santa
Fe said he spent $40,000 trying
to put the plan into operation.
He charged that Ives did not
live up to his word that he
would share equally in the start
-up expenses of the franchised
campgrounds and lend the use
of his name and likeness for
publicity.

Cunningham for his share of
tlie money spent so far,
Cunningham alleged, and
refuses to allow the camp
ground company to use his
likeness for publicity.

The President made his
remarks at a 45-minute news
conference in his Oval White
House Office, the first he has
held in three months. He sought
to reassure President Nguyen
Van Thieu that the administra
tion would make no agreements
with the Communists behind
the South Vietnamese leader’s
back. Nixon also announced
that he would leave on his trip
to China Feb. 17.
Discloses Details
Nixon disclosed the details on
Jan. 25 of an eight-point peace
plan he had put before
negotiators in Paris. He has
offered to withdraw all Ameri
can troops from South Vietnam,
txit has balked at Hanoi’s
demands that the United States
abandon all support of the
Thieu government.
Nixon said he did not
“question the patriotism” of
Democrats who have criticized
his peace efforts. But he said
he believed candidates for
president should review their
statements in the light that
their words might “encourage
him (the Vietnamese Com
munists) to continue the war.”
The President also:
—Said that his China trip
diould not “create very great
cptimism or very great pes
smism.”
