With tire closing of the

students enrolled in five Cath¬
olic high schools in
City for the 14940-50 school
year, it was announced this
week by IFatlrer Alvin-
of St. Joseph’s church.
The admission of
dents on an unsegregated ba¬
sis was the result of a decision
of Bishop Edwin V. O’Hara to
close the high school setup at
tihe St. Monica school, and
make it merely an eight grade
elementary school. Beffore
the grammar school had only
seven grades.
Father Alvin, in praising the
new nonsegregated setup, said
in part:

high schools here In Kansas
City to the colored Catholic
children Is but Another step—
and not the last—to give mean

responded to the “Vote or Don’t
Gripe" posters and st.ckers
that the Junior Chamber of
Commerce had placed around
town and 255 of the 297 votes
they cast were for Wiley Sauls,
Jr., a newcomer to politics.
The Negro votes gave Sauls
a 178 lead over his closest op¬
ponent. Sauls, who graduated
from the local high school in
1946, Is only 21 and works w.th *
