Report Card

P: At Annapolis, Md., 852 U.S. Naval Academy midshipmen (out of an original class of 1,123) got their diplomas in the traditional cap-tossing ceremonies in Dahlgren Hall. Not all were headed for the Navy; the Air Force took 221 as second lieutenants, the Marine Corps commissioned 63. Eight graduating middies got their degrees but no commissions. One man was dismissed for marrying against Academy regulations; four others were honorably discharged for medical reasons. Saddest of the eight were three midshipmen who will get no commissions until they are cleared by a tardy security investigation. Refusing to elaborate, a Navy spokesman told newsmen: "Their cases have not been finally resolved at this time."

P: In Baltimore, the city school board voted unanimously to end racial segregation in the city's 194 public schools, starting in September. Affected by the new ruling: 46,000 Negro pupils and 79,000 whites. Elsewhere in Maryland, the state board of education will keep its segregated school system pending "further clarification" of the U.S. Supreme Court ruling (TIME, May 24).
