In St. Louis, Southern School News said last week, Negro students have reportedly increased by 75% since desegregation in 1955; the city has more virtually all-Negro schools than before.

...territorial rule, by the Cincinnati Royals, who then sat back nervously to see if he would graduate before the team went bankrupt. Robertson made it just in time, drove a hard bargain with the Royals, who realized that he could always peddle his spectacular talents to the showboating, all-Negro Globetrotters. His three-year contract calls for an annual salary of about $33,000, plus a percentage of the gate that should boost the total take to around...
