wnite ana isegro cnuaren may
sit side by side in Southern
schools some time during the
.. .. . . ....
next generation.
But complete non-segregation
Ordered by the historic Supreme
court ruling or May iv, win not
De accomplished during tne pres.
ent one.
Meantime, Southern public
education, which has been im
proving rapidly since the war,
could deteriorate during the
"generation of litigation" shap
ing up.
These key facts emerge from
the conference here of governors
and officials from 15 Southern
states called to discuss the rul
ing.
w P
This Is th line-up of, attitudes:
Maryland, Kentucky, West Vir
ginia and Oklahoma, with the
smallest negro populations, will
comply, aitnougn spokesmen au
mit serious aiiiicuities in worn
ng the problem out. Speaking
tne sentiment oi tnis group uov,
William C. Marland of West Vir
ginia says:
We will obey the law as in.
terpreted by the Supreme
court".
The positions- of Virginia,
North Carolina, Tennessee, Ar
kansas Alabama, Louisiana and
Florida, called "Imbetween" are
typified by Virginia's Gov.
Thomas B. Stanley who called
(he meeting. Refusing to, go on
record .as Intending to comply,
he says:
"We hope to work out some-
thing acceptable to our people."
What might be acceptable is
ndlcated by a study Stanley
made of the first 236 letters he
received. Only seven suggested
unqualified compliance. The rest
demanded defiance,' Fear of re
sulting racial intermarriage was
at the heart oi many of tne ob
jections to the decision.
The extreme positions of de
fiance are held by Georgia,
South Carolina and Mississippi.
Colorful, clgar.smoklng Herman
Talmadge, governor of Georgia,
expresses a typical view:
"From time Immemorial
they've been getting around Su
preme Court decisions. If neces
sary, to keep our separate
schools we'll a b o l is li public
schools and revert' to private
ichools.
Talmadge and Gov. Hugh
White of, Mississippi flatly say
that this generation will not see
segregation ended In their states.
And they have doubts It will be
ended during the next one. A
spokesman from another South
ern state says:
"What happens In the future
depends on how hard the non-
segregatian people push it
through future court action and
over the other roadblocks. The
people of the South don't want
It and the politicians must fight
it witn every legal means."
' Gov. James F. Byrnes of South
Carolina, former U. S.- Secretary
of State, made no public state
ment, Dut reports say he has a
Talmadge stand. An education
official at the meeting takes this
view of the problem:
"The Supreme Court can't
rule out prejudices and habits
of thinking deeply ingrained In
people's minds. And we can't
change our schools overnight
contrary to the wishes Of the
people who pay for them, just

HOW THE SOUTH STANDS: Three different shadings of states

to satisfy the Supreme Court."
He adds:'
"Unfortunately the effort we
now -must spend circumventing
the ruling Is obviously going to
detract from our work to im
prove the school system."
Other officials also admit that
none of the many plans consider.
ed as a way to defy the ruling
would Improve the quality oi
education. "And with the educa
tional system In a turmoil," one
adds, "teaching as a career is
going to be far less attractive to
both Negro and white youths
considering entering this field
which needs them so much."
..
Talmadge Indicates his state
will force a legal showdown on
segregation la every school dis
trict. The cost in time and money
for this litigation would do great
harm to Georgia's schools.
Georgia's tentative plan for
abolishing the public schools and
subsidizing private schools,
which interests the other states
greatly, also lends Itself to waste
arid lowered standards. A Mis
sissippi plan to have children
assigned to schools on the basis
of health and welfare, with no
mention of race would cost extra
money and not add to the stand
ard of education.
Any private school plan, with
only Negroes attending public
schools, is bound to mean less
enthusiasm for the school sys
tem on the part of most of the
taxpayers. ' .
P w
Talk of amending compulsory
attendance laws to cut down on
Negro attendance, another idea
being seriously, considered by the
states, would-also mean a step
backwards for the general level
of education. State education of
ficials admit this but reason:
' "The fact Is wo are not ready
to end separate schools and the
result is a blow to tho progress
of the schools In the South."
Even those states which an
nounced, Intentions to comply
will send representatives to a
meeting of Southern state attor
neys general before the Supreme
Court meets in the fall to hear
proposals from the states for
working out details of ending
segregation. This will be another
session of swapping Ideas aimed
at circumventing the decision.
It all adds up to the fact that
the legal battle for non-segregation
in schools, which began in
Boston In 1849, Is not ended: In
that , year abolitionist Charles
Sumner argued before the Mas-

sachusetts Supreme Court that a
Negro child, forced to attend a
Negro school, was deprived of
ner ngnts.
' m - . :
The court ruled that as lone as
the Negro school was as good as
the white school there was no
discrimination. That became the
basis for the "separate but
equal" doctrine which remained
in effect until the May 17 de
cision. Only Virginia, South Carolina.
Delaware, Kansas and the Dis
trict of Columbia were parties
in the case. But it isobvious how
it concerns the other states. Dela
ware, Kansas and the District
of Columbia all have plans for
complete compliance.
However, opinions expressed
at the governors' meeting make
it obvious that those who fought
for non-segregation did not win
final victory by the Supreme
Court decision and that an even
more bitter fight probably lies
ahead- ,
