South Riverside Editor's note: Thursday was the eighth anniversary of the Supreme Court's his toric school desegregation ruling. This dispatch re ports how government of ficials view developments since then. By WILLIAM J. EATON WashinKton-lUPl-Tivo gov ernment officials said today the Supreme Court's historic desegregation ruling eight years ago has led to signific ant but painfully slow pro gress toward abolition of racial barriers in the nation's public schools. ' This was the appraisal given by Assistant Atty. Gen. Burke Marshall, head of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, and Berl Bernhard, staff director of the federal Civil Rights Commis sion, in interviews with United Press International. More than 1.900 school dis tricts in 17 southern or border states still segregate Negro and white children. Three states - Alabama, Mississippi and South Carolina - have not integrated a single class room. It is estimated that less than 250,000 Negro young sters - or 7.6 per cent of Negro enrollment - are in racially mixed schools In these states. The 1954 decision also has focussed new attention on northern cities that frequent ly have all-Negro and all white schools because their neighborhoods are segregated. This has led to demands for positive action to achieve inte gration. The Supreme Court unani mously ruled eight years ago thai "separate but equal" schools were inherently un equal in violation of consti tutional guarantees. It ordered desegregation "with all delib erate speed." New Steps Considered Marshall told UP1 today that the government was con sidering new steps to gee faster compliance with the high court's decision. For one thing, he said, the Justice Department would file a test suit "pretty soon" to try and force integration of a southern school now re ceiving U.S. funds to alleviate the impact on the community of federal military or civilian employees in the area. The aim would be to cstab lish the federal government's right to sue for desegregation, if necessary, of 3,600 such "impacted" school districts which receive U.S. aid. They represent one-tenth of the na tion's 35.000 school districts. Marshall saw signs o pro gress, in the start of school desegregation in Memphis, Dallas, Atlanta and New Or leans during the current school term. In some cases, only a single grade or a few grades were integrated and the number of Negroes ad mitted was not a very high percentage. "These are cities of great symbolic importance," Mar shall said. "Their decisions affected the thinking of thous ands of southerners who now realize change is inevitable and not too far away." Progress 'Very Slow' He said officials in other cities have a duty to make desegregation plans and start carrying them out without waiting for a federal court order in each case. Bernhard, in a separate in terview, said over-all progress was "very slow" on removing racial restrictions in schools since the landmark decision. "But there is a growing ac ceptance of the law's require ments and a growing desire to prevent any type of ugly raciift incidents," he said. "Many business leaders now seem willing to get.together with city officials and Negro leaders to work out their dif ferences." The Civil Rights Commis sion's staff director also said it has led to recognition that, segregation In schools is a na tional problem and not con fined to the southern states. A key case affecting north ern cities was the suit against i the New Rochelle, N.Y., school board. The board was ordered to desegregate the city's schools; after a federal judge found that its districts were, in ef-l feet, gerrymandered to pre-! serve racial separation, Other Complaints I Similar, complaints about I segregation by geography have arisen in New Jersey, I Philadelphia and Chicago. 1 Public school systems in , southern states have develop-: cd a variety of techniques toj mitigate the impact of the 1954 ruling. ' Some - such as pupil as signment, transfer rights and grade-a-year integration-have received federal court sanc tion in some states. The Supreme Court ruling has been under fierce attack in the South by critics who contend the judges were tak ing over the role of lawmak ers from Congress instead of) staying in their own field. Prince Edward county, Va., I is the only area in the nation, ! however, where public schools remain shut in defiance of a desegregation order from a federal court. About 1,700 Negro children in the county are not attend-' ing any formal school. Most white children are enrolled in a private institution. They pay their tuition with the aid of state grants that provide virtually all of the cost. Atty. Gen. Robert F. Ken nedy, who travelled to Roan oke, Va., recently, called the Prince Edward situation a "blight on Virginia and the nation.' The case is still be-1 Negroes are seeking relief fore a federal court where from the present situation.
