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.

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.

[Study: Racial equality
ecreasing in schools
United Press International
| WASHINGTON — The na
tion’s educational system is iso-
|laung minority children at an in-
5 greasing and alarming rate,
| creating problems that could
lead to serious troubles in two
t'lears, a group of education ex-
ypei ts said Monday.
“We just cannot continue to
ome more separate and
more unequal,” said Gary
rfield, author of a study that
id more than two-thirds of the
students in the 10 largest school
istricts were from minority
roups.
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,
