Long-Lasting (Baffle Seen To Enforce
School Integration in Southern States

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.

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."
