Background: TWENTY NEGRO STUDENTS ENTERED FIVE ALL-WHITE SCHOOLS IN THE STATE OF ALABAMA YESTERDAY (TUESDAY), AFTER THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OVERCAME THE DETERMINED RESISTANCE OF GOVERNOR WALLACE TO KEEP THE STATE'S PUBLIC SCHOOLS SEGREGATED.

THE MOVE TOUCHED OFF A NOISY DEMONSTRATION AT WEST END HIGH SCHOOL, ONE OF THREE BIRMINGHAM SCHOOLS WHICH ADMITTED NEGROES. HUNDREDS OF STUDENTS BOYCOTTED THE SCHOOL AND MANY JOINED A DEMONSTRATION OUTSIDE LED BY MEMBERS OF THE NATIONAL STATES RIGHTS PARTY -- A SEGREGATIONIST GROUP.

THE DEMONSTRATION STARTED AFTER TWO NEGRO GIRLS ENTERED THE SCHOOL. AN ANGRY CROWD GATHERED OUTSIDE SHOUTING: "TWO, FOUR, SIX, EIGHT, WE DON'T WANT TO INTEGRATE." THE POLICE SENT FOR REINFORCEMENTS TO CONTROL THE CROWD. ONE MAN WAS ARRESTED.
