E 51 The Battalion PAGE 2 ... College Station (Brazos County), Texas Tuesday, September 25, 1956 Credit Where It’s Due History was made Saturday in Kyle Field. For the first time in 62 years, since the field was built, a Negro played there. The crowd, the team and everyone connected with the game is to be complimented. There seemed to be no malice on the part of the A&M team and quite noticeably, there was no show of prejudice or intolerance from the stands. Because of this, A&M will rise a little higher in the minds of many. One has only to think a little to recall the other many .instances of narrow-mindedness occurring on other campuses » across the country. The Sugar Bowl has barred Negroes from playing there. And there are many cases of public schools and colleges can celling games because the opposing team had Negro players. A&M for many years has made headlines for the un savory actions done here but Saturday’s actions will go a long way toward showing the people of Texas the progress we are making. Directors Accept Grants For System The board of directors of A&M System, Saturday accepted $180,- 581.91 in grants-in-aid, fellowships, scholarships and gifts for the Sys tem.

CIRCLE THRU WEDNESDAY “HILDA CRANE” Jean Simmons ALSO ^Houston Story” Lee J. Cobb WASHINGTON — <7P> — Rep. Wier, D-Minn., said yesterday the counsel for a House investigation of Washington’s school integration problems has given a “disgraceful performance” and should be sus pended. The target of Wier’s criticism was William Gerber, counsel for a special House subcommittee now holding its second week of public hearings. Wier outlined his complaint against Gerber in a telgram from Minneapolis to the House District of Columbia Committee, the sub committee’s parent body. He said Gerber’s “sole object seems to be to prove that integra tion has not worked and ... to prevent it from working in the future.” Washington schools were inte grated in the fall of 1954. Wier, a member of the full com mittee but not of the subcommit tee, said Gerber should be sus pended pending a “review” of his role in the healings. Davis told newsmen the hear ings would “of <purse” continue with Gerber as counsel. He said he felt Wier “has been grossly mis informed.” Beasley To Attend Security Seminar Wallace D.
