"Grievances" Presented
To District 12 Board
Five Civil Rights leaders led by Lakeview NAACP president
William Moody, presented a statement to the School Board of
District 12 listing certain "grievances" which they insist haven't
been corrected in the ten years since tlie Supreme Court derision
barring school segregation.
Tlie statement presented follows:
To this entire Malveme District
12 community, today is a great
hLstoric date. It marks the anniver-sary
of the Supreme Court Decision
outlawing segregation in the public
schools of the United States. Ten
"^•ars later, the School Board of Dis-
Mhlveme, New York, continues
to foster segregation in its public
elementary school by its inaction.
The Lakeview NAACP deplores,
detests and protests the Board's fee-ble
and ignoble attempts to elimi-nate
segregation licre. We liereby
submit tlie following list of grievan-ces
to the School Board:
(1) You have failed, to obey t]>e
order of tlie Commissioner of Ethi-catioH,
State of New York to elim-inate
segregation in our clenuMilary
scliools by inslit\itiiig the i'riiice-ton
Flan.
(2)You have failed to make a
clear statement of policy on tlu;
Nhiy 17, 1951 Supreme Court Deci-outlawing
hcgrgation in public
iools.
(3)You have failed to 1)ring the
standards of the Wood field Road
School up th the level of the other
two elementary schools.
(4)You have failed to maintain
class sizes of twenty-five students
or less in the Woodfield Road
Scliool.
(5)You have failed to accept Neg-ro
representation at the policy-mak-ing
level.
(6) You have failed to make
Woodfield Road School facilities
available to the Saturday Freedom
School on the same basis granted to
other community organizations.
(7) You have failed to acquire
textbooks reflecting more fairly the
role of the Negro and other minority
groups in our society.
(8)You have failed to set \ip a
plan for official districtwide obser-vance
of Negro History Week.
(9)You hive failed to stress the
importance of expecting, insisting
and demanding higher achievement
from Negro children.
(10) You have failed to obtain
more remedial services for our el-amentar>-,
junior and senior high
school.
(11)Vou failed to demand the
most conscientious efl'orts of Cuid-ance
(Councilors to raise the aspiru-tional
goals of Negro youth.
(]2)You have failed to recruit
more than a token number of Negro
teachers.
We therefore, demand redress of
these grievances.
We also demand that the Board of
Education issue a paper and circu-late
it throughout this district, ex-plaining
the significance of the May
17, 1954 Suiireme Court Decision
to the Malveme School Community,
Baby Sitter,

Goldwater Forces Start Letter
Campaign Aimed At Primary
Long Islanders supporting Senator Barry Goldwater for
Presidejit, it wa.s announced, have beeji engaged in a letter writ-ing
campaign designed to^reach every enrolled Rpubliean in
Long Island's 2nd and 4th Congressional Districts. In each dis-trict,
slates of candidates favorable to Senator Goldwater are
seeking election as delegates and alternates to the Republican
National Convention.
The announcement was made by ——
Peter J. Byrnes, executive director
of the Nassau County Cioldwatcr-for-
President Committee.
The letters, wliich are prepared
for mailing by volunteer workers at
Goldwater Headquarters in Lyn-brook,
urge the recipients to return
enclosed cards pledging their votes
for the election of Goldwater dele-gates
in the Republican primary on
June 2.
The accompanying m e s s a ge
brands as untnie a certain news-paper
account alleging that the pro-spective
delegates chostm by the
regular Republican organization no
longer support Governor Rocktv
feller in his bid for the presidency.
"The attempt by the Rockefeller-
Carlino machine to represent its
candidates as unpledged," said Mr.
Byrnes, "constitutes wilful decep-tion
of the public. This tactic was
prompted by a realization that rank
and file Republicans will not
knowingly favor Governor Rocko
feller over Senator Goldwater.''
Tlu^ choice confronting Republi-cans
in the June 2 primary, Mr.
Byrnes added, "will be betwef^n
Goklwater delegates and Rocke-feller
delegates, and the voters are
entitled to know it."
Byrnes also stated: "In spite of
thesnide remarks of the Rockefel-ler
Republicans, the people of New
York State prefer Senator Bairy
Goldwater, over Governor Nelson
Rockcf(;ller for the Repulican Pres-idential
nomination.
"Senator Goldwater is ndt only
the conscience of conservatism, but
the conscience of America. He is
the embodyment of American prin-ciples
at work in the time of Na-tional
tennoil. He has the strength
and moral courage to take a clear
and decisive stand on the issues of
our times. Through him this nation
together with our democratic way
of life shall long endure."
Volenti Answers Bock
Andrew Valenti, around whom the controversy has raged
regarding the capture of an alleged mugger last week, has issued
the following statement to "set the matter straight." He stated to
this newspaper that he was being crucified by all the unfavorable
publicity he received regarding this event and he hopes that now
the whole issue can be droppc^d. Mr. Valenti's statement follows:
" I have waited all week for this
matter to be dropped, but some
people insist upon insulting and
humiliating me and my family by
twisting the truth about what really
happened on May Ilth to the
women tliat was mugged in Lyn-brook,
so 1 am forccnl to write this
letter in self-defcnse like a criminal.
"As all tlie n(n\'spaper reporters
that telephoned me that morning
know, I insisted tliat there should Ixi
no publiciy or pictures from the
first day. In fact, my family and I
left our home to visit my mother
e\t>n thougli the reporters said they
were on tlieir way, and we did not
return until 10:00 P.M. that night.
