The state provides 62 per cent of Duval County’s $35 million an nual school budget. The lack of money resulted in overloads on teachers and shortages of textbooks and supplies. A taxpayers’ lawsuit scheduled for trial next week seeks to make more school money available by forcing the county assessor, Ralph N. Walter, to raise property as sessments from the present 42 per cent to full value. Disagreement over whether the sit-out should continue broke out Tuesday at a meeting of about 30 Negro leaders. Frank Hampton, service station owner, argued that Negroes are gaining ground in the courts and at conference tables in their strug gle for equal rights. It will not help, he said, to have children roaming the streets. The Duval school system is in the second year of a stairstep in tegration program under federal court order. Only a few Negroes attend the first and second grades of predominantly white schools. America Must Build Bridges With Russia Arkansas Senator Tells Southern Methodist Group DALLAS UP)—Sen. J. William Fulbright, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said Tuesday that ‘‘bridges of accommodation” must be built with the Commu nist world in this nuclear age. The Arkansas senator spoke to the all-university convo cation at Southern Methodist University. “The choice before us in our relations with the Commu nist world is not between victory and defeat,” Fulbright said, “But between mutual accommodation and mutual anni hilation.” Fulbright said this policy of accommodation must be linked with two other “bedrocks” of the grand strategy of American national security”t THE BATTALION Wednesday, December 9, 1964 College Station, Teras 'Page 5 —maintenance of the world’s most powerful nuclear deter rent and support of a “vigor ous Atlantic Alliance.” “The usefulness and desirabil ity of a clear and quick victory over all our adversaries can be) debated,” Fulbright said, “but such a debate must be academic be cause the option of complete vic tory does not exist.” He said the time has come to acknowledge, however regretfully, that “it is not open to us to re move the threat of Communism from the world but that it is open to us to build bridges to the Com munist world and in so doing to influence the course which it fol lows in a direction compatible with our own safety and the peace of the world.” Fulbright said the purpose of accommodation with the Commun ists is the same as that of the nuclear deterrent and the NATO Alliance: “to reduce the Com munist appetite for expansion, and thereby to increase our national security.” He said the United States “must differentiate carefully between one Communist country and another,” rewarding those which show a greater inclination “to confine the practice of their ideology within their own frontiers, and to enter into friendly relations with the west.” But he said it must withhold its rewards and, when necessary, ap ply sanctions “against those which pursue expansionist policies.” Rudder Says ‘Thanks’ President Earl Rudder, left, expresses grati- effective handling of the meningitis threat tude to Dean of Students James P.
