SAVANNAH, GEORGIA SATURDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1958
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — The
“driver option” policy, which
gives the right to the driver of
a bus to seat passengers where
he wishes, was violated Monday
when thirteen Negroes boarded
two buses, refused to take seats
designated by the driver and
were arrested.
The incident is a forerunner
of a suit to test the Legality of
the new bus seating plan In the
courts.
The nine men and four wo¬
men were lodged in city jail on
charges of disorderly conduct
and conspiracy to cause a
breach of the peace Tney were
placed under bond of $900 each.
The Negroes boarded two
buses and took front seats Mon¬
day after a meeting with inte¬
gration leader Rev. F. L. Shut-
tlesworth. The action followed
the city commission’s recent re¬
peal of bus segregation laws
and adoption of a substitute or¬
dinance leaving the seating of
passengers up to the Birming¬
ham Transit Comanpy.
The seating laws had been
attacked in the courts.

SAY NEGROES WERE PAID TO AT¬
NEW YORK — Attempts by
groups of Negroes to attend
services at white churches in

“a maneuver of the segrega¬

state officials,” the National

In a statement released here

The statement, adopted by
the NAACP Board of Directors
at its regular monthly meeting
here on Oct. 14, reaffirms the
Association’s conviction that
“the Churches of Christ should
be voluntarily desegregated cv.

out, “an investigation by the

worship in Christian fellowship
was not the real objective” of
