SEGREGATION IN SCHOOLS

End In Oklahoma And Kentucky

(NtZ. Press Association—Copyright) ™v a. NEW YORK, June 6. The Oklahoma State .Board of Regents for Higher Education announced today it would open the doors of all State colleges and universities to negroes, beginning in September. The regents said the action was taken to conform with the recent ruling by the United States Supreme Court that segregation in the nation’s State-operated schools was unconstitutional. In Lexington, Kentucky, today, a 16-year-old girl, Helen Caise, enrolled at Lafayette High School. She was the first negro to enter a white school in Kentucky since a law was passed in 1904 banning integration in the State schools.
