Supreme Court
Orders Memphis
Desegregation
Washington - IUP1) - The Su
preme Court today ordered
Memphis immediately to be
gin desegregating its parks, li
braries and museums. It also
said in strong language that
southern communities are
moving too slowly in integrat
ing their schools.
The unanimous decision re
jected a Memphis proposal for
gradually opening its park
and recreation facilities to
whites and Negroes alike. The
city claimed this was pormiss
able under the "all deliber
ate speed" doctrine set out by
the court in its keystone 1955
school edict.
Rights Said Violated
Speaking for the court, Jus
lice Arthur J. Goldberg held
that constitutional rights of
Negroes were being violated
by the delay and that deseg
regation should be started
"promptly."
Goldberg then used the
Memphis case as a spring
board to prod states which
maintain segregated schools
on the theory that integration
can be achieved gradually un
der the "deliberate speed"
policy.
He said the high court In
using those words in its 1955
decision "never contemplat
ed" that they would allow
"indefinite delay in elimina
tion of racial barriers in
schools."
Claim Rejected

MEDFORD, OREGON, MONDAY,
Syria, Iraq Having
Thoughts
Beirut, Lebanon - lUPII -Syria
and Iraq's apparent sec
ond thoughts on Arab federa
tion today placed their pro
posed union with Egypt in ser
ious doubt.
Both nations' ruling Baath
socialist parties have given
clear indications in recent
weeks they are having misgiv
ings about implementing the
union plan reached in Cairo
April 17.
An abortive attempt during
the week end to overthrow the
Baghdad regime has height
ened the difficulties.
Anti-Baath sources here
said they believed "only a
miracle" can now save the am
bitious union plans which
were to go into effect by Sep
tember. Fear Domination
Observers believe the Baath
leadership is delaying move
ments toward union because
of fears they would fall under
the domination of Egyptian
President Gamal Abdel Nas
ser, who would be the presi
dent of the new United Arab
Republic.
They believe the Egyptian
leader's demand that they
form national front govern
ments is only a cover for the
eventual easing out of their
party.
In recent tests between
Baath and Nasser supporters
in Iraq and Syria, the Baath
ista have won new strength.
Reports from Baghdad have
said the week end trouble was
engineered by groups support
ing Nasser. Earlier this month,
serious rioting between Nas
scritcs and Baath supporters
broke out in Syria.
But Nasser still enjoys
