District Court Judge Frank Hooper’s latest ruling in the Atlanta public school case in which he enjoined the State Board of Education from in terfering in Atlanta"s school de segregation plan brought this com ment from U.S. Sen. Herman Tal madge. “It is unthinkable that any child —white or colored—should be com pelled to attend school with mem bers of another race against his will. “It is further argument for the early enactment of the Constitu tional Amendment and other legis lation which I am sponsoring to restore to the states and their citi zens their clear constitutional right to manage their own affairs in accordance with local wishes, customs and conditions.” The much - publicized Atlanta school case is back in the lime light because Sandra Malkild, a 17 year old white student at North side High school, doesn’t want to be forced to go to school with Ne groes. Northside and three other Atlanta high schools are under Judge Hooper’s Federal court order to integrate this year. Sandra petitioned the Atlanta School Board for the right to trans fer to Dykes High school, presently an al-white school, on the ground she wanted to “maintain freedom of association.” The Board turned her request down. She appealed the ruling to the State Board of Education. The state board reversed the At lanta Board. The Atlanta board immediately rushed the matter to Judge Hooper in an effort to fore stall the state board’s action. The judge promptly issued a temporary restriction order against the state board- A hearing on a permanent injunction is scheduled for Aug. 30, the day the city's schools open.

Navy Patents New Inflatable Airplane Washington, D. C. — The Navy has patented its "Wagmight” in flatable airplane, the controversial aircraft which the inventor says is being fought by admirals who fear it as a threat to the role of big carriers, it was disclosed Sunday.
