(AP) Five Negro pupils scheduled to attend newly desegrated Hayneville High School failed to appear for classes today but the county's force of special deputies showed up with four Negroes on it. Apparently the Negro pupils decided to delay their entry into the school, following a pattern in other desegregation cases.
They already enrolled at the school in Lowndes County where two civil rights workers have been slain in racial violence this year. Sheriff's deputies, reinforced armed deputies including the four Negroes, stood guard near the entrance to the onestory, red brick school. The Negro deputies, wearing pistols, hard hats and clubs are part of a 50-man voluntary auxiliary recruited in recent weeks to put down trouble if it breaks out. In sharp contrast to the integration of other Alabama schools in the past three years, no state troopers were on duty at the school. Four FBI agents were at the school as observers.
The county, schools superintendent, Coleman, said Negroes scheduled to attend the high school classes three in the 9th grade and one each in the 10th and 11th grades were offered transportation on buses carrying the white pupils to school. Miss Coleman said she had expected the Negroes to delay their appearance because this has been the pattern in other counties. One bus stopped at Steele's store in the western part of the county one Negro boy scheduled to get aboard. But the pupil failed to show up. A small crowd of white spectators stood on the court house lawn near the entrance to the school and watched quietly.
A tense atmosphere was still evident ten days after the killing of a white seminary student who had come to the county as a civil rights worker. 3 Jailbreakers Caught Sunday MOUNT CLEMENS (UPI) Three of four prisoners who jumped two jailers and escaped were recaptured Sunday.

They were identified as Daniel Williams, 19, and Lowell Smith, 28, both of Detroit. The other two men, driving another stolen auto, led police on a high-speed auto chase until their car veered out of control and rammed a tree. They fled on foot. Officers caught Richard Lewis of Detroit but his companion, Paul Vance, 35, Knoxville, eluded his pursuers. "Vance has escaped at least 14 times from various jails," Coluzzi said.

Scoutmaster Returns From Leader Seminar Why Watts Riot? L.A. Mayor, Chief Blame State Patrol LOS ANGELES (AP) Los Angeles Mayor Samuel W. Yorty and Police Chief William H.
Parker agreed today that it was law officers' mishandling which touched off the Watts riots. But both blamed the California Highway Patrol, not the much-criticized Los Angeles force. California highway patrolmen made the arrest which triggered the riots Aug. 11, Parker said on NBC's "Meet the Press" Sunday. "I believe that if our officers had made this arrest which brought the beginning of this, this riot would not have oCcurred," said Parker.
In Los Angeles, Yorty said bad judgment by the patrolmen, possibly the result of inadequate training, set off the riots. "Their conduct in such an area under such circ*mstances indicated a lack of awareness of the dangerous potentialities inherent in the situation," Yorty said. "Persons who do not know the difference between Los Angeles police officers and highway patrol officers, and some who do not care, the usual cry of 'police brutality' against our officers." Yorty said he had asked Dist. Atty. Evelle J.
Younger to investigate the patrol's actions in making the arrests, perhaps with assistance from the FBI and U.S. attorney general. Highway Patrol Commissioner Bradford M. Crittenden declined comment, a spokesman said. After the television broadcast, Parker told a newsman the blue ribbon commission appointed by Gov.
Edmund G. Brown to investigate the riots would have inquire into his statement on the highway patrol. "I sat back a long time before I said anything," said Parker. "I've had a chance now to study the reports from my men." The Los Angeles riots killed 36 persons and resulted in nearly $50 million damages. The last 250 National Guardsmen from a force of 15,000 brought in at the height of the riots were withdrawn from the Los Angeles area Saturday.
