Missile protestors peacefully arrested off tht - 78.6 pen ourt backs busing plan B United Press International 1 WASHINGTON — The Sup reme Court, acting Monday in a Nashville, Tenn., case, dashed the Reagan administration’s hopes of beginning a nationwide rollback of court-ordered bus ing to desegregate schools. I The justices rejected a chal- lenge of the Nashville student ^^^^■using plan which requires Hementary school children to be ■used instead of attending CTVB ei g hborhood sc fr°ols- The de- l" 1 , I jRsion was one of six acted on by Hie court Monday. | After considering the case fcu- ■aonths, the justices announced Hpeir action in a brief order. Jus- Bice Thurgood Marshall, the ■court’s only black member, indi- p.m, rs, a, sion, cated he took no part in deciding whether to hear the case. The administration had strongly urged the court to re view its 1971 ruling approving busing to achieve racial balance. Justice Department officials say busing does not work and is fighting its use by federal courts. The government also said courts considering busing should take into account “com peting educational, social and economic costs,” such as the de parture of white children to pri vate schools or to public schools outside the busing area. Also, the court announced Monday, it will consider a major controversy over the question of when judges can close cour troom doors on reporters and the public who want to attend jury selection in a criminal trial. The dispute is an appeal by the Riverside, Calif., Press En terprise from a ruling closing the courtroom when jurors were chosen in a 1981 murder trial. In other action today, the court: —Agreed to decide w'hether federal anti-discrimination law applies to law firms who refuse to promote women attorneys to partners. —Without comment, upheld a ruling coudemning the Geor gia Legislature’s first draft of a 1981 congressional redistricting plan because of racial discrimi nation. —Upheld, in a 9-0 ruling, a state’s power to limit prices for natural gas already under con tract before Congress began the process of deregulating natural gas prices. United Press International VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. — More than 20 MX missile opponents were arrested Monday while trying to form a human block ade at the Vandenberg facility where the controversial weapon soon will be tested. A woman who said she cele brated her 79th birthday Sun day and a 12-year-old boy were among those arrested by Air Force police for trespassing. They were taken by bus onto the base to appear before a U.S. magistrate who set up tempor ary offices at the facility. About 750 protesters gathered Sunday for a rally, and organizers said Sunday that 300 activists were camping at sites scattered around the largely ru ral area. However, only 100 people showed up Monday outside the gate in an attempt to prevent workers from entering the base. The California Highway Pat rol said anyone blocking traffic would be arrested, and the U.S. attorney’s office said trespassers face a possible fine of $500 and six months in prison. The demonstrators, crossed onto federal property in groups of five and temporarily blocked the entrance to the base before they were arrested peacefully. On Sunday, demonstrators chanted and sang anti-nuclear slogans in preparation for the planned human blockade. Authorities said 110 Califor nia Highway Patrol officers and about 60 sheriff s deputies were on duty outside the base. Ai( Police personnel totaled 435. ‘ A spokesman at the base, 200 miles northwest of Los Angeles : , said up to 6,000 cars carry emj- ployees and military personnel onto the base daily on a stag 1 gered schedule starting at dawrv. Authorities encouraged enir ployees to carpool and predicted many would enter the bast through one of at least four alternate gates. « The demonstrators at the ra£- ly Sunday heard activist DanieJ Ellsberg exhort them to emulate antiwar protesters of the 1960s* “Vandenberg is the Aup schwitz of our time,” EllsberJ said. > OOOQOOOOQOOOOOOOOO 1 WHAT’S UP HUMBLE HOMETOWN CLUB TUES.

Orfield, whose work was re- ased by the Joint Center for |olitical Studies, said cities that have tested the administration’s policy of voluntary desegrega tion showed no improvement. | “If you just leave the situation alone, it will get worse,” Orfield It said at a news conference : announcing release of the study. I Arnold Torres, executive di- irector of the National Education Service Center of the League of jUnited Latin American Citizens, Ksaid desegregation efforts have “slipped back” during the Reagan presidency and warned the trend must be reversed. 1; “This is posing problems not only for blacks and Hispanics If but for this entire country this aggressive ostracism con tinues we will have serious prob lems by the middle of this de cade,” said Torres. The school districts that made substantial progress in school desegregation in the past 15 years, most of them in the South, had extensive .
