FBI examines
school bombing
. LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) The FBI has entered the in
vestigation of 'a pre-dawn bombing at a high school here.
Despite the bombing and sporadic nighttime disruptions by
anit-busing protestors, school officials said classes would
resume on schedule today throughout the city.
The bomb that went off early yesterday morning at Male
High School in downtown Louisville had been placed beside a
radiator in the lobby of a gymnasium, police said.
'The bomb blew the radiator from the wall'and blasted a hole
about two feet in diameter in the floor. However, a police
bomb squad officer said it did no structural damage to the
building.
The bomb went off about 10 miles from the area in south
western Jefferson County where police used tear gas Sunday
night to disperse about 200 persons who remained when of
flicers ordered about 800 anti-busing demonstrators to
disperse. - Some of the demonstrators threw bottles and
lightbulbs at police. Eighteen persons were arrested.
It was the third night of unruly protests since the opening of
schools in Louisville and surrounding Jefferson County. The
unified county-city school district is operating for the second
year under a federal-court ordered desegregation plan.
,But the protests have all been in the evening, well after
school hours. Classes have been conducted without disruption
since opening day and the school buses have moved through
the streets without interference. .
The bomb squad officer said he had talked to district school
officials who said classes would be held on schedule today.
FBI officials and bomb squad members yesterday swept up
broken glass and other debris around Male High School and
sk:At it to an FBI laboratory in Washington. /
"They will check for various chemicals and try to determine
what type of fusing was used," the officer said. "Preliminary
evidence is that the explosive tentatively appears to have been
dynamite."
He said police assume the bombing was related to the
busing dispute and thus could constitute a violation of the
federal court's desegregation order.

FBI officials did not comment on their investigation other
than to say they were trying "to determine if there has been a
violation of the busing order."
County police fired about 50 cannisters of tear gas in
breaking up the Sunday night demonstration. County Police
Chief Russell McDaniel said the protest was different, at least
in size, from those that occurred last year when the busing
order first went into effect.
"We were dialing with 800 people tonight," McDaniel said.
"Last year it was 8,000 to 10,000. "
The demonstrators had paraded north on Dixie Highway, a
four-lane thoroughfare, spreading out and blocking the entire
street as they approached the Louisville city limits.
Police ordered the crowd back and most protesters began to
disperse.
The group had dwindled to , about 200, said police in
formation officer Bob Yates, when several small fires were
set near the highway and the pavement was peppered with
lightbulbs and bottles.
Police fired tear gas to break up the group, and used tear
gas again when 40 to 50 persons gathered at a nearby shopping
center not more than an hour later.
Antibusing leader Bob DePrez . was among those arrested
after they disregarded orders to disperse. '
Three police officers received minor injuries—including one
cut by glass when his car window was broken.
Although the antibusing protests here have not interfered
with classes, they stand so far as the single example of violent
resistance to court-ordered school busing as schools around
the country open this fall.
Schools in Dayton, Ohio, and Dallas opened last week
without difficulties despite the beginning of busing for racial
balance as ordered by federal courts.
St. Louis and Omaha, Neb., are to begin school today under
desegregation plans. Officials in both cities said they expect
no major problems.
About 9,300 of the 57,000 pupils in Omaha public school will
be bused under the plan there. St. Louis' desegregation plan
calls for no large-scale busing. It relies instead on 11 special
program "magnet" schools that school officials said would
attract an equal number of black pupils and white pupils,
about 4,000 in all.
And in Boston, where two years of school desegregation
have been punctuated by frequent violence in some neigh
borhoods, police and city officials predicted a peaceful
opening of classes tomorrow.
