No Integration Violence In Md.

Schools in five more counties and Baltimore City opened for business yesterday, leaving 13 counties in the state still to begin sessions.

And, as throughout Tuesday, there was no serious threat of violence as many schools admitted Negro children.

Passive resistance was observed in two localities. One the Eastern Shore, about 50 white children were taken out of elementary schools at Easton and Oxford because six Negroes were admitted at Easton and two at Oxford.
