Inc. Hartford. Jona fully integrate schools by Sep tember, 1956. The court: Federal (district, circuit and Supreme). e The counsel: The National As sociation for the Advancement of Colored People, represented by special counsel Thurgood Mar shall, as the plaintiff. The south ern states, represented by an ar ray of attorneys general and spe cial lawyers including former Georgia Gov. Herman Talmadge, as defendant. 'Year of-Crisis "The year of crisis is upon us," Attorney General Eugene Cook of Georgia says. "I think we are ready and we are going to keep the fighting within the frame work of the state and .federal constitutions." Says Marshall: "We do not un-der-estimate the job ahead. Whenever local districts ask the national NAACP to step in, we intend to aid them." Legal action by the NAACP to force the South to fully inte grate schools during this next year will be stepped up soon. Marshall said the strategy is for local groups to initiate the first action. ' "When a branch is told by Ne gro parents in an area that they will no longer put up with segre gated schools and we are con vinced that the local school board is not proceeding in good faith, the state conference will then j decide whether to offer legal as sistance," Marshall said. Petitions Flood South The NAACP presently is flood ing the South with petitions from Negro groups asking local school boards to eliminate segregation. Failure to comply would be used in an effort to convince courts that the Supreme Court's orders for integration with "reasonable speed" were being violated. Georgia, South Carolina and Sammy Lee Accepts Santa Ana Offer Fort Carson, Colo (U.R) Maj. Sammy Lee, 35, famed Olympic swimmer who was bar red from buying a home in Gar den Grove, Calif., by realtors, said yesterday he has accepted an offer to set up medical practice in, Santa Ana, Calif., in Novem ber. Lee, an ear, nose and throat specialist of Korean descent, said he has been offered a home in Costa Mesa, a new housing de velopment 10 miles away, and will buy "if my pocketbook will allow me to." He said he will go into joint medical practice with an old Army buddy, Dr. Robert L. For est, an eye specialist, who was discharged from the Army here early this year. Mississippi have taken drastic standby steps, including machin ery to close public schools to prevent integration. But there can be endless litigation before that step is taken. The court fight could go on for generations. "We are prepared to resist ev erywhere," said J. P. Coleman, recently-nominated governor of Mississippi. Various Steps Possible "If a local board 'is sued for refusing to integrate schools, the school district could be abolished one day and reestablished the next under a new set of trustees." Georgia's position in court will be that the Supreme Court ac tually didn't outlaw segregation per se but merely established a principle that a child cannot be kept out of a particular school for race reasons only. "There may be a hundred other reasons why we could le gally keep races segregated," At torney General Cook said. Cook said the state would bat tle integration efforts regardless of where they occur in Georgia. That means, he said, that even should a city such as Atlanta decide on its own to bow to the Supreme Court, the state of Georgia would intervene. "Under the state constitution, we would be required to inter vene," Cook said. "The law clear ly states that it shall be a felony for any local school authorities to operate a mixed school."
