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.
