Rear Admiral Ross Reviews the Fleet

J?ehearmg Granted School Board
Counsel To Present Case
Before Allen Tuesday
Dr. Howard T. Herber, Superintendent of Schools in a care-fully
worded statement to the press, announced last Monday that
the regular montlily Malverne School Board meeting has been
rescheduled to enable the board members to attend a rehearing
before Commissioner James E. Allen, Jr.
The statement issued by Dr. Her-ber
said:, "The Malverne School Dis-trict
12, Board of Education has set
Wednesday evening, August 7 for
the regular monthly meeting of the
Board. The meeting will be held in
the Junior High School building at
8:15 p.m.
"The August meeting date was
changed because members of tlie^
Board plan to attend a scheduled
r e h e a r i n g before Commissioner
James E . Allen Jr., on Tu^da.y^ Au-gust"
6tJ\."
Edward F. Nasierowski, the only
school board member this paper was
able to reach for comment, stated
tWt the Board was aware of tenta-tive
plans for Allen to schedule a
rehearing, but until contacted by
this reporter, he did not know that
a definite date had been set. When
asked to comment on the rehearing,
Nasierowski said, "that he and the
board members, on advice of their
attorney, would not issue any state-ments
until after the School Board
had presented its case to Commis-sioner
Allen."

Guard passes the "fleet" in review. Due to the high temperatures last Saturday, the parade and review of
tike U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary was called off. The Ad niral instead, inspected the fleet by passing in review
with each boat commander paying respects by saluting from the bow, as the Admiral's ship passed by. Hover-ing

Pickets Back
At Lynbrook's
White Castle
CORE pickets carrying signs de-landing
more non-white hiring by
the White Castle chain were back
in Lynbrook last Saturday. Com-posed
mostly of teenagers, the pick-ets
marched and sang for over six
hours in the hot, humid weather.
Lynbrook Acting Mayor James
Gaaibee while checking on the dem-onstrators
stated that the pickets
were professional and probably paid.
"Not necessarily with money," he
Jiastened to add, "but in other ways."
Gainbee further charged that none
of the pickets were from Lynbrook
and were brought in from outside
to stir trouble in the community. A
by-stander, who stated it was his
"duty" to check on the various
,,^^demonstrations, and who asked not
i | B t o be identified also pointed out
tfiat they were "professional." Some
of these same demonstrators weie
at the Rochdale Project, the Bronx
diner and other picketed areas he
.said and backed up his charge by
identifying marchers by name.
Arthur Delibert, a 17 year old
high school student who resides at
31 Winter st., L)aibrook, was one of
the pickets at Saturday's demonstra-tion.

Mangravite Quits
Top-Level Council
Mayor George H. Mangravite of Lynbrook, one of three
government officials serving on the Coordinating Council, that
was supposedly formed to ease racial tension in School District
12, withdrew as a member. Mangravite said last Monday he
would not attend future council meetings because it overstepped
its purpose.
The Mayor also charged that the
council had tried to dictate Mai- the statement which passed unani-verne
School Board policy in refer- mously." Delaney charged that Man-ence
to Allen's directive relating to gravite quit the council because
racial imbalance hi the schools. (Edi- "the village government in Lyn-tors

on the tactics of this council in our action but by its reaction to the
July 4th issue.) White Castle picketing that it is in
Mangravite further charged that sympathy with the white Citizens
the coiuicil had mistakenly told the Council centered in Lynbrook." In
press after its July 1st meeting that both the school antl WHiite Castle
it supported Commissioner Allen's disputes, Lynbrook oflicials showed
ruling. He said it had only voted their segregationists thinking, he
